Molly’s POVAfter the incident involving Wesley, my sister Kiara, and me, I initially found it hard to trust Gianni. However, recalling the first time we had sex, I realized his words were genuine.If Gianni had been involved with Octavia, she would have been responsible for that aspect of his life, but clearly, she wasn't.My only conclusion is that perhaps he was intoxicated, which he denied. This leaves me wondering if he could be fathering another man's child, but their eyes are strikingly similar, and I suspect Roger resembles his mother in other areas.Patience became essential to prevent myself from going insane. I don't want to disappoint Gianni, who, unlike Wesley, has always protected and respected me.Later, Nora picked us up and drove us to the mall. This time, I made sure to explore other brands before visiting the Dawson store. As we entered the first shop, I felt like my old self before the scandal.There were whispers around us, likely fueled by rumors. I couldn't unde
Molly’s POVAll the memories of the past two years with Wesley's family flooded back, igniting my anger.They had insulted and humiliated me, showing no respect despite my seniority.Today, I was determined to make them pay for their actions. In the past, Gianni had always intervened, but this time, I wanted them to understand the consequences of crossing me.Radley's face twisted in fury as he glared at me. "You ungrateful..." I cut him off mid-sentence with a swift kick to his jaw, bringing myself down to his level."What did you just call me?" His words faltered as a mix of shock and fear crossed his face.Meanwhile, the sister was already on the phone with her brother. "Wesley, Molly has lost it and is attacking Radley.""You're lying. Your brother provoked her and got what he deserved," Nora spoke up in my defense. The look of astonishment in her eyes as she gazed at me revealed that she had many questions.However, I wanted to confront the tramp before the foolish Wesley arrived
Kiara’s POVLast night, Wesley assured me that he was going to permanently defeat Molly, but he returned unsuccessful, suggesting that the don he collaborated with might have been killed by Don Gio because of Molly.This didn't concern me much as I suspected he was having an affair with his secretary. During my last visit to his office, I noticed he had delegated a lot of responsibilities to his secretary, despite her recent employment.When I expressed my concerns to him, he tried to make it up to me by bringing me here. However, when we were about to leave, his supposed brother and sister insisted on joining us.Since we had left Wade with our nanny for this outing, I suggested his brother and sister go shopping and meet us for dinner later.To my surprise, Molly intervened and prevented Bertha and Radley from joining us.Wesley had not mentioned our wedding plans since then, which was another topic I wanted to discuss. Just as I hoped Wesley would stand up to Molly, we received new
Giovanni’s POVAfter watching the video of Molly confronting Wesley's siblings, I was initially entertained, but as soon as Wesley appeared, I rushed to the scene.Wesley was being resuscitated by unfamiliar individuals, and I soon realized that Molly could be intimidating. It was evident that she had Kiara right where she wanted her, and the fear in Kiara's eyes was palpable."Are you suggesting that I drugged you, Molly?" Kiara nervously inquired. I knew I had to record everything for Molly's benefit, so I began recording.This evidence would be crucial in vindicating Molly. Molly remained silent in response to Kiara's question, but the mere mention of the butcher's name sent Kiara into a panic."Please, Molly, can you put down the knife?" Kiara pleaded as Molly neared the completion of slicing the remaining desserts."I'm just practicing how to slice you like this if you ever lie to me again," Molly calmly retorted, her expression defiant.She was truly terrifying when she spoke an
Nora’s POVIt felt like a dream seeing Molly again, and I couldn't help but wonder what Don Gio had done to make her look so radiant. She exuded beauty and joy, but the most remarkable change was her newfound confidence and ability to stand up to bullies.It was evident that Molly's transformation was a result of Don Gio's influence, and when he arrived, everything became clear. Despite rumors of his stoic demeanor, Don Gio was beaming with joy, showering Molly with attention and cracking jokes.Witnessing Molly's happiness and Don Gio's rare display of affection put my concerns about his family at ease. It was a reminder that love, even if fleeting, is worth experiencing.However, the confession that followed shattered the moment. Learning that Molly's sister was responsible for their parents' deaths and Molly's ordeal was heartbreaking.It was a cruel twist of fate that left me feeling sorrowful for their family. For an accident to claim someone like Kiara would be too merciful. If
Giovanni’s POVAll I wanted was to make Molly happy, so when she requested it, I got in the mood, despite not remembering the last time I danced.Our movements were in sync, and I let her drink as much as she wanted.Her laughter and excitement were magical and contagious, and I didn’t want the moment to end. Suddenly, I couldn’t find Nora.Since Nora was here because of Molly, I felt responsible for her, especially since it was her day off. The disco lights made it difficult to locate her, and Molly was already drunk, so I couldn’t leave her alone.“Molly, we need to find Nora,” I said, trying to get her attention. “Did something happen to her? Where is she?” Molly asked, but I kept scanning the room.“I don’t know, but let’s look around,” I suggested, guiding Molly as we searched for Nora.It was almost futile when she wasn’t answering her calls, and I was about to ask the manager to check the CCTV when I spotted a man carrying a woman in his arms.The black dress the woman was wear
Molly’s POVThe past two weeks have been hectic for me, juggling between training, taking care of Roger, work, and recordings. I couldn’t complain because this was what I wanted, feeling myself getting smarter as I tried to find solutions to complex matters.This was the time I needed Gianni to be softer, but he seemed even harder than before, surpassing Hank.Something was bothering him, but he refused to share. However, his behavior didn't affect me much due to the overwhelming tasks I had on my plate.I needed to acquire the skills to manage my company independently if it was successfully taken from Wesley, so I couldn't afford to skip going to the office for the recordings. I had to find a way to balance it all.Taking care of Roger gave me a sense of accomplishment. We often worked out together as a family before leaving the house, and despite everything, I made sure to pick him up from school with Jace and sometimes Zak.Occasionally, Gianni would join us, but most of the time,
Giovanni’s POVOctavia appeared more well-behaved than I had anticipated when I arrived at Molly's office. However, it was time to terminate our contract, so I led her to my office.She sat on my desk, and due to my indulgence, I allowed it."Vanni, I was sad you couldn't make it to my graduation, but it's okay. Mom said you were busy, so she came on your behalf," Octavia said.Her words caught me off guard. "My mom was at your graduation?" It was odd, considering my mom's initial dislike for Octavia. What was she playing at?"Yes, and she used to call to check on me. She's quite nice, and I don't think she has any issues with us," Octavia said innocently, but I couldn't help but scoff.If that woman was getting close to her, there was something fishy going on, or Octavia was hiding something from me."Octavia, you've graduated, and I have a job lined up for you, but our contract can't continue," I informed her. I couldn't keep up this facade with Molly back in my life, no matter how
Molly’s POVI never knew Gianni to be weak, but Octavia must have something on him. Whatever it was, made Gianni kowtow to her demands, which upset me and Roger.After tucking Roger into bed and reading him a bedtime story, I lay beside him. He asked softly, “Mom, you won’t leave dad because of that woman, will you?”Knowing Octavia was just a jealous bitch, I reassured him, “No. Adults have misunderstandings, but we always work through them.”If Gianni said he never slept with her, then I believe him but whatever she said to have made him change his mind, made me afraid.“Thank you, Molly,” Roger said, embracing me before falling asleep. Despite my efforts, I couldn't sleep, and suddenly the door opened.“Who’s there?” I whispered, not wanting to wake Roger.“Can we talk?” Gianni's voice came from the doorway. I felt the need to talk with him, so I stood up, kissed Roger on the forehead, and left his room.“Sure, let’s go,” I replied. I noticed Gianni had showered but wondered why he
Octavia’s POVVanni completely changed my son. Roger was more fierce and unwelcoming compared to Vanni, and when I looked at him, he seemed nothing like his real father.Gael was very gentle and kind, and I believe that if he were still alive, no one would associate him with Roger. This behavior made it challenging for me to implement my plans because Roger was as stubborn as a rock.He appeared so upset that his words seemed final. However, I couldn’t bear the thought of being pushed out of my son's life."Roger, can you please let her stay downstairs? She's still your mother," Molly pleaded, and I understood why Gianni loved her. She was talented and kind, which could work to my advantage, except I couldn't deceive Roger.His personality was complex. Like a light switch, he could shift from being caring to very mean. He was caring when interacting with his father or Molly, but mean when dealing with me."The fact that she gave birth to me doesn't make her a mother," he coldly stared
Molly’s POVI couldn’t be upset with Gianni because Octavia was Roger’s mother. However, Gianni should be nearing thirty. As to how the two produced Roger, it remained a mystery to me.Roger was in the shower when I reached his room, but he was bathing angrily. I went to help him.“Look, she’s your mother, and you have to accept it, even if you can’t love her,” I tried to explain to him, but he was irrational.“No, you are my mother. I don’t even know her, and all these years, she took all of daddy’s weekends, never caring about me and leaving me out of it. She only loves daddy,” Roger said, sounding more like an adult than a child. I turned off the faucet when I realized he was clean enough and wrapped him in a towel. How he was able to break down his mother’s character and understand that the woman never cared for him was exceptional but unexpected from a four-year-old. “Roger, there must be some explanation, okay? Daddy loves you so much, so if he brought her, then she must be g
Octavia’s POVTwo days ago.“Mom, you came?" I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the woman with six bodyguards. She was pretty and fierce, looking more like a twenty-year-old than the fifty-something-year-old woman she was."I know you weren't expecting me, but I had to do it for my son," she smiled a little. Her presence attracted a lot of attention, but I knew Vanni would garner even more attention, especially since most of my peers loved to flaunt their men."You mean Vanni isn't coming?" I was very disappointed."I'm sorry, but let's talk after the event. I don't want to keep you waiting." I agreed with her and joined my mates for the ceremony, constantly watching out for Vanni and hoping he would show up to disappoint his mother, but that didn't happen.Foolish of me to have thought all these years that his mother hated me. Turns out she loved me enough to show up."Vanni has been so busy these days, but I will go and help him," I said to her, trying to hide my disappointment a
