This is Act II of The Giuoco Piano which is a sequel to The Exchange Variation.  I am opting to split this into different books on Wattpad, because it's long and I can.

In Act I, we saw Stefano Dimera send Marlena on a dark and twisted treasure hunt to remind her of who she was when she she adopted the alternate identity of Grace, a woman who seduced, stole and murdered for Stefano.  Stefano had Carrie and Will and was holding them prisoner to force Marlena to play his macabre chess game.

The first act ended with Marlena agreeing to stay with Stefano in order to secure the safe release and ongoing safety of her husband and her family.  Roman, who had stood by her during the intervening months as she wrought a trail of destruction around Europe at Stefano's behest, was understandably distraught.

Act II opens several months after Roman and the others left Marlena behind on the small island in the middle of Indonesia....

Adrik When I claimed her, that was it. I made her mine and betrayed her. She longed for a story that wasn't mine to narrate, so I did the only thing a man like me would-I sent her back. Little did I know the secret she was keeping. The worst of all, she ran straight into the enemy's claws, forcing me to start a war to get her back. I killed for her and would do it ten times if it meant I'd claim her heart again. I'd protect my family from demons with everything in me now that it wasn't two but five of us. Giulia I hated him for what he did. He made me fall in love-viciously stealing my heart for his own. I tried to run from him with a secret that I shouldn't whisper, and I knew he could never love me. I ran and regretted it. They caught me, and the revelation of Giulia Caruso hurts more than I could imagine. He's here to claim me again after I vowed never to give in, but how could I not when he is the first man to show me love? He worships me, and I fell for him harder than I did the first time. The man who stole my heart is the man I should fear, but I don't because he keeps the demons away and in return, I stole his.

She is my precious prize possession, and nobody fucking ordered me to do such thing, especially not my Bambolina.

Until the Light Returns by jessiewitherspoon

The morning Marlena Evans Black returned home from Greece, the sunlight hit the floor of their townhouse like a warm kiss. John Black had made sure of it. He had opened the curtains in every room, even the ones she wouldn't go into yet. Light, he told himself, would help. Light was honest. Safe. He didn't want her walking back into shadows-not after what she'd survived. Marlena stepped inside slowly. She wore a dark blue sweat suit that made her look fragile, though John knew better. She had survived Megan Hathaway's twisted captivity, the chamber, the drug-induced darkness. She had clawed her way back to life. But surviving didn't mean healing. Not yet. "Home," John whispered, pressing a kiss to her temple. She didn't answer. Her eyes scanned the room like a stranger seeing a museum of her former life.
