Chapter: Epilogue!Seven months later!The bedroom was a slumbering giant, quiet and dark. The only source of light was soft moonlight reaching through the window. The shadow of Eva clung to the walls as she got up from the bed way too silently, preventing herself from making any noise that could wake her husband. She entered the kitchen. The only sound was a faint hum of the fridge as she tiptoed barefoot across the cool tiles. Every step felt like a secret, the wood beneath her feet creaking just enough to make her pause and to see if her husband had come around.But she can't blame herself for waking up in the middle of the night because of her pregnancy cravings. That craving hit her like a storm hours ago, a hunger so fierce it gnawed at her and tugged her out of bed. Eva opened the fridge door with a careful softness, as if even the rush of cold air might betray her. The insides are glowing like a treasure chest just like moonlight.Grinning, she opened the ice-cream tub, taking a spoonful of mint

Chapter: His truth!There's a phrase called.'Pain is a silent storm that rages within, unseen by the world but felt in every breath I take.'They lost a baby!But they still had another one!In the hospital's white sheets Eva stared blankly at the ceiling. She was numb to feel anything absorbing the news from earlier. Her heart wasn't ready to accept that they had lost a baby, but she was still pregnant with the other one. Yes, she was pregnant with twins, but their fate took an ugly turn. Her heart pained at the loss, but at the same time it was relieved that she was still pregnant. She was pregnant but she lost the other one. She didn't know how to feel about it.The doctor checked her with a stethoscope while Vincent's gaze remained stuck on her stomach. He was feeling the same emotions as her but showed an emotionless demeanor towards the outer world."It's a phenomenon called 'vanishing twin syndrome'. It wasn't a rare case, as people believe, but who can escape destiny?"The doctor's last words ad

Chapter: We won't lose!Author's POV'Eva trembled as fear started rising in her when Chloe declared that, and before she could open her mouth to say something, a loud voice could be heard inside the basement."I'll burn down the world, including you, if you even dare to hurt my wife, Chloe."Her eyes snapped towards the source of the voice. She took a breath of relief as silent tears made their way through her eyes."Oh, so you have finally come, my dear son."Chloe stated sarcastically, but my eyes were stuck on Vincent, who wasn't even glancing her way. Her heart clenched thinking he might not forgive her this time for the stupidity she did."Come to the point, Chloe."His eyes remained firm on his mother."What's the hurry, son? We are meeting after so long, and I'm your mother, so don't call me by my name."Chloe's eyes started to turn red in anger when she stated the last line."You don't deserve to be called a mother. In fact, you don't deserve to be one."Chloe gritted her teeth at his words."Watch

Chapter: Heartbreaking Message!"If you want to find out about an important woman in your husband's life, then come and meet me at the given location."I stared at the message in front of me blankly. I was so excited not too long ago, and I was feeling numb not understanding my own feelings. After finding out about my pregnancy, the happiness and incredible feelings which I was feeling was just indescribable. I was so excited to surprise Vincent with this news, but got this heartbreaking message which shattered my heart into pieces.Is this the same woman whom Vincent was taking with the other day?I need to find out about her. It is a necessity for me to know, since Vincent wasn't telling me on his own. We can't move on to our next chapter of life without knowing one's past life. He already knows about mine but me, on the other hand? What about me? Isn't it my right to know about my husband's past life which he refused to tell me about?"Since you won't tell me, I need to find out on my own or else we can't move on

Chapter: Sick?Holding my hair at one side, I continued to throw up in the toilet of whatever I ate this afternoon until my stomach emptied completely. Vomits are the most disgusting thing in the world. I always find them way to hell because it takes all my strength away, leaving me numb and weak. I was feeling so numb that I couldn't even stand on my feet even if I tried, so I sat there until I was able to stand on my feet.I was still feeling that sweet sore between my legs after our last night's session.I'm not complaining though. A tear rolled down my cheeks when last night flashed in front of me."I don't want you again in my life. Do you get that? I'm happy with my wife and don't want any other woman in my life."Whom was he talking about? Is he hiding his past from me? Don't I have the right to know? Did he had another woman in his past, and now she's trying to get back?I sobbed as I felt an immense pain inside my heart when I thought about possibilities. I should trust him and nothing else.

Chapter: Hiding?I stared up at him with my glossy eyes while his eyes were still closed as he made his wish with a blow of a candle. I smiled back through my glossy eyes when he opened his eyes, smiling."It's not a good thing to let others know about your wishes, Vincent."I exclaimed softly, trying to control my tears, but unfortunately, one tear escaped from my eye. He chuckled lowly before wiping my tear using his thumb."For me, I wanted you to know my wish."He whispered near my ear, leaning down."Because no one can fulfill it rather than you."I smiled, bringing the cake up towards him."Come on now, cut the cake and tell me how it is?"I exclaimed happily, but he narrowed his eyes in curiosity. I sighed dramatically before saying."Because I made it with my own hands for you."It's my first cake which I baked by the way, but I won't tell him because I don't want to terrify him by telling him it's my first time making a cake. Yes, I have baked before, but they were muffins, not cakes.He shoo

Chapter: Glided cage!Author's POV''One week later!'The day had betrayed her before it had even begun. Elena woke up to the shrill, mocking tone of her alarm, but it wasn’t just the clock that was relentless; life itself seemed to conspire against her. The sun, hidden behind a thick veil of clouds, cast a dim and suffocating light through her window—neither warm nor welcoming, just a muted gray that matched the heaviness in her chest.There was no ray of hope, no grand epiphany. Just a heavy sigh and the faint, distant echo of a woman who had given her all, only to be left with nothing to show for it but the ache of a day gone wrong.The room was a gilded cage, shimmering with luxury yet suffocating in its purpose. The bride’s chamber was an orchestra of chaos—styling tools hummed, brushes swept across delicate skin, and a dozen pairs of hands fussed over her as though she were a doll rather than a woman with a mind of her own. But Elena, the reluctant bride, sat motionless at the center of it all, her e

Chapter: Cruel faith?"There's nothing serious."I groaned when I heard someone speaking and grabbed my head unconsciously. I felt the soft mattress underneath me and those soft cushions. Where am I?I slowly opened my eyes to clear the vision and my head hurt like hell. Literally like hell. Setting up my vision clearly, I looked around my surroundings just to find the devil standing beside the bed, tall and dangerous.That's when I recalled how suddenly I fainted on his chest and the next thing I felt was him picking me up in his strong arms.Did I anger him by spoiling his mood because of the way he was staring at me with a scowling face before returning his gaze towards the doctor who was still busy inspecting me!"Give me the genuine reason behind her passing out."Vincenzo demanded in his scary voice."Lack of eating and skipping meals. How many days has it been since you haven't eaten anything?"I tried to avoid Vincenzo's gaze before responding.I knew I had to be genuine."Three days to be more spe

Chapter: Checkmate!When I entered the huge glassed building, a man whom I consider to be one of Vincenzo's men escorted me towards his penthouse. My jaw dropped when I saw the interior inside. It was a huge penthouse. Maybe a whole floor was gathered into making it and, as usual, the interior had a dark aesthetic with a classy look.Clutching my bag, I made my way towards his study room, following the man who was escorting me."Here!"Opening the door after knocking on it, he indicated me to go inside. With a racing heart, I went inside and heard the closing of the door shut behind me. Can't he just keep it open for my sake?I gulped, looking at the scenario in front of me. Vincenzo, who was shirtless, was busy playing chess with Lorenzo. Focused on their game. I swallowed hard. What am I supposed to do now? Just stand there and watch them play until the game was over?"Welcome sister-in-law!"I flinched out of my thoughts when Lorenzo greeted me out of nowhere.He played his side of chess while my gaze

Chapter: Miracles Happens!Author's POV'"Can you fill my one more wish."The driver looked at her stunned through the mirror."I'm just a mere driver, Miss."He responded while keeping his eyes on the road."I know, and I won't ask you to do anything which is out of the box for you."Elena fidgged her fingers together nervously."What's it, Miss?"Her eyes snapped at him when he said that."Actually I want to meet my mother, and she's in hospital."She looked at him through the mirror, hopefully, while he looked hesitant."But it's not up to me, Miss."He tried to convince her."I know, but the hospital is just near."She spoke while pointing outside."I'll just come back after meeting her. It won't take long, I promise."The driver's eyes looked hesitant before he picked up his phone to call his capo, making her annoyed."Capo, Mrs. Romano is asking to meet her mother, who's in a nearby hospital."Elena frowned when the driver addressed her by her soon-to-be husband's surname.Placing the phone aside after ha

Chapter: Happy from inside!Elena's POV'I made my way downstairs towards the living room. The feeling I was feeling right now was beyond anything. I'm so happy that I got his approval, so I can finally meet him.I never thought that it was going to be so easy. If he were just like this and gave in to my every demand, then life would be so easy, but whom was I fooling? Only myself."Just because the great mafia agreed on meeting you don't get your hopes high, Elena."I shook my head before taking the last stairs and was about to make my way towards the exit but got stopped by no one but James."Don't you have manners to tell me about where the hell you are going? Or you don't think it's necessary?"I turned around being annoyed. Why is he doing all this drama when he never really cared? And he knew exactly where I was going, so why the hell was he asking?"I'll go with the second one."I replied while crossing my hands across my chest. I knew he must be boiling in anger because it was crystal clear from his faci

Chapter: Rare!Author's POV'The sky wore a shroud of brooding charcoal, clouds sprawling across the heavens like ink spilled on parchment. The air was thick, heavy with the scent of rain yet to fall, and the faint whispers of a restless wind curled through the barren trees.Shadows danced and deepened, casting the world in hues of muted gray and silver, as if mother-nature herself was holding her breath.A quiet melancholy hung in the atmosphere, not ominous, but serene, a tender reminder of the beauty found in the quiet embrace of darkness like the devil sitting inside his penthouse's office.The outside's dark beauty was perfectly matched with the devil himself."Did you get to know who helped her out of the house?"Litting up his cigarette, he looked out of the huge glass window while his one hand remained in his sweatpant's pocket as his back was facing Lorenzo."About that, yes."He responded while spinning the ball in his hand."And who's that?"Vincenzo asked while taking a long drag of his
