Molly’s POV

Reencountering Wesley and Kiara was not the highlight of my day. The two seemed like a perfect match, though their affection was a bit nauseating.

They both appeared insecure, finding solace in each other's company. I couldn't help but notice Kiara's lingering glances at Gianni.

Unfortunately for her, Gianni was a married man with a rebellious son.

What added a touch of humor to the situation was Wesley's inquiry about whether I had cheated on him.

He may have wished me ill, but life had only improved for me since parting ways with him.

I had no intention of groveling or begging for his forgiveness, but

I couldn't leave behind my valuable jewelry and clothes, especially the ones gifted to me by my late parents on various occasions.

Among them were precious photos that held sentimental value, serving as a connection to my parents.

Gianni was preoccupied, and I initially hesitated to involve

    Wesley’s father, mother, brother, and sister were all waiting under the stairs like a group of zombies. I couldn't tell if Wesley had informed them about the divorce based on the question his mother asked me.“You seem to be in a hurry, so who do you expect to clean this house?” A humorless chuckle escaped me, and I could see the shock in their eyes at my reaction. All the pain I had buried inside erupted like a volcano.“If you won’t clean it, then sleep in the filth. I’m not your maid,” I said nonchalantly as I hurried down the stairs, walking past them with my jewelry box and duffle bag.Unexpectedly, I felt a sharp pain in my scalp, causing me to let out a shrill cry. At the same time, the jewelry box fell from my hand and broke.I was more concerned about the jewelry box than who had pulled my hair. My heart broke along with it as I knelt before the shattered box.It felt like something inside me had shattered as well. I released the duffle bag, only to be hit with another pain

I gave her a fifteen-minute window to gather her belongings and leave before I would intervene.I believed this timeframe was ample for her to prepare to depart. However, I was unaware that there were others present until I heard a voice that resembled Molly’s.I abruptly ended my call and checked the timer I had set.

    I've never been a fan of violence, but this time, I supported Gianni's every action.If he had not intervened, or if I had come alone, I would have not only suffered injuries but also lost my jewelry and most likely been forced to clean the entire house.Having been on the receiving end of bullies, I found Gianni's actions extreme when he instructed Bertha to pick up the jewelry with her mouth. However, I couldn't stand Radley when he tried to act tough.The fact that he destroyed my jewelry box entirely made me want to make him pay.My late parents gave me this; it wasn’t just about the cost but the love attached to it.

    Kiara’s POV“I can’t believe you allowed them into your house without us being there,” I said to Wesley as he drove away from the court, heading to the hospital.My parents had special jewelry that I never saw after their death, and something inside me tells me that Molly had them. If we could get there before her, I was sure to take them from her.“I wanted to call my parents to deal with Molly for the sudden pride that entered her, but that demon is with her so what can I do?” Wesley said. I sensed the fear in his voice.Giovanni was indeed a terror to the underworld, but I never thought I would meet him face to face.He was good-looking too, the most handsome and deadly man I had ever seen. I was glad Wesley paid some spies enough to keep an eye on Molly for now.That way, I might just find out more about Giovanni. Before, I thought Wesley was the best thing that happened to Molly, but seeing Giovanni all over her, I knew he had to be mine.I then thought about Wade, silently cursi

    Molly’s POVAfter Radley’s call, Gianni didn't stop there. “Are you done with the call now? Hurry up and kiss her feet before your brother arrives.”His expression was defiant and I was beginning to worry about his busy schedules. He had already spent an hour here and I feared spending more of his time.Radley was in tears. Not even my slaps made him cry, and his stubbornness was so ingrained in him that he didn't comply.“I can’t. She means nothing to me.”A slap from Gianni sent him crashing into the sofa, his mother wailing as if she had just lost a son and a husband when we heard the sound of a siren.Gianni was displeased because Radley was fortunate not to have hit the wall like his father and was cushioned by the sofa instead.The sound of the siren grew louder, and I wondered who had called the emergency services.However, Radley's face and eyes were red and swollen as he wailed in his mother's arms. Bertha smartly remained on the floor where he was and had succeeded in pickin

    Wesley’s POVI was furious when I received the call about what happened to my parents. Upon reaching my own home, I saw my family being bullied, and I felt helpless due to the sling on my arm.Even without it, I doubted I could defeat Giovanni. The trained bodyguards I brought were unable to defeat him, which added to my shame. What was he made of?Someone of his status should have bodyguards, but he didn’t have any with him and dealt with mine effortlessly.To make matters worse, Radley looked to me for defense."The cops were too scared to arrest him. Dad has been taken to the hospital.""You won't let him bully us, will you?"His desperate eyes met mine, and my heart ached that I couldn't protect them.This was all because of Molly. “Radley, I had an accident on the way and broke my wrist. Please allow me some time to recover,” I said, but Molly interrupted.“An accident? Or did Gianni break your wrist because you tried to touch me?” she taunted. I was stunned to see her like this.

    Wesley’s POV“You can’t do that. You are the head of this family,” Mother cried, adding, “You are injured too. Don’t do it.”Giovanni was ruthless, showing no respect for my mother and telling her, “Mrs. Thompson if you don’t pick up the remaining items with your mouth, you will join your husband.”I couldn't bear to see my mother endure such humiliation, so I knelt. “It’s alright. I will do it.”Kiara looked at me with disdain in her eyes. “What would Wade think if he heard that his father was reduced to a dog?” she snickered, and I wasn't surprised.She had left me before and managed to worm her way back into my life. Because of her, everything between me and Molly was destroyed, yet she had the audacity to say this.Kiara seemed to regret her words when Giovanni turned his gaze towards her. “Join him in picking up the jewelry with your mouth,” he ordered coldly, disdain evident in his eyes as he looked at her.Kiara appeared repulsed. “You can’t make me do that.

Now, it felt like some kind of trophy, but when I heard Giovanni's intentions for it, I felt like I was dying inside.“I just remembered that I have to clean their smelly mouths from your precious feet,” he remarked, causing my jaw to clench, feeling powerless in front of him.Molly seemed taken aback by his actions as he knelt before her, treating her like a princess, disregarding his white suit as he gently removed her stilettos.Giovanni carefully placed her feet on my coffee table, then picked up her jewelry box and duffle bag from the floor, placing them gently on the sofa to avoid the unconscious bodyguards lying on the floor.I was unsur

    Nora’s POVThere was nothing creepier than watching Hank take down Carter. I had thought Carter would put up a fight, but it turns out he's only good at harming fragile women like me.Even after it was all over, I found it hard to accept that I had almost died.What if Hank hadn't received my message and tried to call me? I had resisted when he first asked me to move in with him or find another apartment, but not anymore.Clearly, experiences like this were why Molly had toughened up so much. One can't always rely on a savior, so I need to toughen up if I want to be with a man like Hank.No matter what, there would always be dangers surrounding him. When I reached his house, I showered again out of anxiety, hoping the water would wash away my fears.It helped, but seeing Hank in just shorts, his chest exposed and his damp hair, as if he had just showered, a different kind of anxiety took hold of me.Men often walked around shirtless, and it was clear that Hank was the type to sleep in

    Hank’s POVAfter Nora refused to vacate her apartment, I discreetly kept an eye on her ever since I spotted Carter in the elevator.Despite the events at Molly and Gio’s wedding, where I respected Nora’s desire to take things slow, I refrained from inviting her to my place and instead ensured her safety in her own apartment.I had been monitoring Carter and confirmed his departure on the day we went to the Island, causing my surveillance on Nora to lapse.As I neared my house, I almost ignored the message beep from my phone but a strong feeling compelled me to check, suspecting it was Nora.However, the call abruptly ended after two rings, signaling a problem.Instinctively, I made a U-turn, realizing that Carter’s sudden presence and the phone going dead were red flags.I didn’t anticipate Carter causing trouble without a contract, ruling out the possibility of him being hired to target Nora.

    Nora’s POVGio, were they responsible for the threatening note?" Hank inquired. Gio nodded. "Yes, they targeted Molly and Roger. When they couldn't reach her due to the tight security, they exploited her health condition."He smiled bitterly and continued, "During our first antenatal visit after our honeymoon, Molly mentioned seeing this boy, but I dismissed it as a hallucination. They have been monitoring her for a long time without success."Now everything made sense, but why did they use Wade? "What about the boy? Why send him?" I asked, and Gio looked saddened."They manipulated him, poisoning his mind. Before I killed Wesley's father for murdering his wife, he hinted that there were more threats coming. I suspect his other two children," he explained.If this young boy could have murderous intentions towards Roger, then his siblings could be even more dangerous. They needed to be located.Gio gazed at Wade with concern evident in his eyes and voice. "I assure you, we will protect

    Molly’s POVThe honeymoon was the best thing that ever happened in my life. The food, the ambiance, Gianni’s gentleness, all brought about a relaxation in me that inspired me to write some new songs.Even though I knew Gianni might not agree, I still asked him, “Gianni, do you mind if I host one last concert until after our baby is born?”“No, Molly, we can’t risk it,” he refused. I knew he was right, but I insisted, “I intend to be away from the limelight for at least two years after giving birth. Are you still going to say no?”His silence was heavy, but he eventually agreed with conditions. “There will be a doctor on call 24/7, but you won’t hold a double concert.”I embraced him eagerly, and we made love again. His sexuality had undergone a dramatic transformation in the sense that, though he still lasted outrageously long, he didn’t have to be so wild to reach his release.I still missed those wild moments, but the baby always came first. “I miss Roger,” I said during our fifth d

    Giovanni’s POVWhy is she here?" I asked Hank after Nora left, her face flushed with embarrassment. Their on-and-off relationship was causing me stress."She's giving me a chance, but she wants to take things slow," Hank revealed, sparking my excitement. "Last night things seemed to be escalating, but today everything is falling into place."Then a thought struck me, so I inquired, "What if Octavia changes her mind? I know it won't be long, especially since I mentioned the money in front of Cage."As much as I wanted both women to be happy, I didn't want any conflicts between them because of my best friend."Gio, do you even have to ask? The moment Octavia put me in a position where I had to beg to be chosen, she was never mine to begin with. Nora only dated once, and I'm the only man she made a move on. I'm not an option for her, but the one she truly desires."His words stirred up emotions in me. Hank, who was always as reserved as I am, had once said he couldn't settle down, and I

    Molly’s PovI woke up to the delicious smell of breakfast with Roger, and it felt perfect. Gianni was in the shower, but we were so hungry that we started eating without him.Gianni joined us later and remarked, "You two are awake." I hummed in response and continued eating as he looked at me longingly."Don't eat too fast. You're pregnant," he revealed, causing me to freeze instantly. The cutlery slipped from my hand. "Pregnant?"Roger seemed excited, and I wondered if he already knew. Then, I remembered chatting with Nora and waking up in bed."You seem surprised," Gianni observed with amusement. I asked him, "How did I get here? I remember chatting with Nora."He smiled at Roger, who began to recount everything. "Mom, I was swimming with Uncle Hank when I saw you faint."The realization dawned on me, and I exclaimed, "I never thought I'd be able to get pregnant." For the first time in my twenty-six years of living, I am finally pregnant."Well, you are," Gianni admitted. I knew he

"It can't be true. You're not an assassin, are you?" I had always suspected he was involved in something, but being an assassin was beyond what I had imagined.The world of the mafia was not something I wanted to be a part of, given all that I had witnessed and heard."He's not," Don asserted, but Cage interjected, "He's lying to protect his friend, but it's true. He was hired to kill my boss once, and I was there. That's how I know him."Just as I was contemplating the possibility of a future with him, this revelation shook me. Despite my desire to give him a chance, being involved with a hitman was not something I had ever considered. Could he have changed?Don p
