“I assume you haven't read this yet." He tossed the phone aside, his expression inscrutable.

The document had been sent to my email last night, but in my current state of mind, I hadn't been able to bring myself to read it.

"I'm still upset and not ready to do so, which is why I need a lawyer."

His expression was stern, but his tone was surprisingly casual as he delivered the news. "Well, Wesley no longer has any properties."

I was numb. "What? That can't be true," I protested. Was this some kind of joke? "I personally signed everything over to him."

Giovanni reached for the cigarette again, only to drop it once our eyes met, frustration evident in his gaze as he relayed the message.

"And he transferred everything into his mother's name."

"No. That's impossible." My heart raced, my legs feeling weak, but thankfully, I was seated.

My stomach churned uncomfortably, Giovanni's words echoing in my mind, his challenging gaze daring me to verify the information in my email if I doubted him.

    Molly’s POV I was eager to find out what Giovanni was up to, so when I saw Nora, I couldn't resist asking her, even though she seemed uncomfortable with the question. "I don't know much about his personal life, just rumors about a woman and a son. We need to leave now. Don gave us only two hours," she said hurriedly, leaving my mind struggling to keep up. Being a housewife had shifted my perspective on many things, so re-entering the world made me nervous. Thanks to Wesley, I was determined not to give up, but hearing her mention ‘Don’ piqued my interest. "Don? What do you mean? Is he some kind of mafia boss?"

    Giovanni’s POV I have never been in debt, but I owe a debt of gratitude to Molly Campbell. Despite my efforts, I learned she had moved from Alaska where we last met. Determined to repay her kindness, I was disheartened to hear she had married after the scandal, but I respected her husband. He must truly care for her and be a better person than I. All I wanted was to make amends. She only needed to make a wish, and I would fulfill it. My life was in disarray, and I knew she would never be mine again.

    Molly’s POVThe temperature in the store changed dramatically when the person blocked Melody’s hand, and I was strangely captivated by his alluring cologne scent.It couldn’t be him, could it? Yes, it was. Gianna was dressed the same way he had left the hotel. I wondered how his white outfit remained spotless.The atmosphere in the store had dropped to zero degrees, and even I shivered at the sound of his voice. "Close the store. No one is allowed to enter or exit," he commanded.I hadn't seen the two men following him clearly last night, but a part of my blurry memory and Nora's mention of his bodyguards began to make sense.Those were the men with him when he rescued me. A part of me wanted to question them about the disappearance of those men, but another part cautioned me not to dare.Punches from Gianni's bodyguards swiftly took down the two security men restraining Nora."Why? We are just following orders," one of the security men cried out, feeling wronged. Gianni pushed Melody

    Molly’s POV“Gianni…” I began, but he cut me off, his words cutting through me like daggers.“Don’t. This is how you let people walk all over you. The world isn’t ruled by kindness,” Gianni said coldly, and in that moment, I feared there was no hope left for him.The darkness seemed to have consumed the man who was once my world, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was that darkness that drove him to disappear without a trace.Get them out of my sight," he ordered, his anger directed solely at me.I had no regrets for intervening in whatever he had planned. Melody and the other attendants were forcefully removed from the shop, their pleas falling on deaf ears."I think they're lucky," a shopper remarked, and I furrowed my brow in confusion.The attendants had just lost their jobs, and yet they were considered fortunate. It wasn't until one of them whispered to the other,"They would have been reported missing." I overheard her hushed words and realized the gravity of the situation.F

    Nora’s words kept echoing in my mind even after she had left. “Beware of Don’s secretary.” I wanted to inquire further, but it was impossible without revealing that we were discussing Gianni’s secretary.I could only hope to encounter her again to uncover the details of what she was trying to convey.Gianni graciously opened the car door for me, and I couldn’t help but notice that certain gestures from our past, like him holding the door for me and carrying my bag while shopping, remained unchanged.“Thank you,” I expressed as I settled into the car, taken aback by the expressions on the faces of his bodyguards and secretary.Sir, are you going somewhere?" she asked as he opened the door and prepared to sit down.I was relieved when Molly mentioned that she was Don's secretary, but I couldn't help but notice her awkward demeanor.However, I decided it wasn't my place to dwell on it.

I was acting in her best interest, so if she didn’t want it, there wasn’t much I could do about it.Upon returning home, I was surprised to find out that she had Roger in mind.Marie was already aware of my strict rules regarding children's toys, as I wanted to ensure Roger's intellectual development surpassed mine.In the underworld, dangers lurked, and age or innocence did not matter to those who sought to harm us.

    After overhearing the father and son conversation, I deduced that Roger's previous nannies never stayed at this house.What a waste of such a vast space, reminiscent of Wesley's new mansion. Gianni's residence was still grander and more opulent than that.I noticed some women in uniforms, unmistakably maids, who seemed taken aback by the little boy's outburst.Standing behind the door as Roger shouted for me to leave, I remained resolute, fearing that if he had his way this time, I might miss the opportunity to get to know him."I just want to say hi," I ventured, not anticipating his kindness but also not bracing myself for his harsh words."I hate you," he bellowed from inside. I forced a smile, catching an inscrutable expression on Gianni's face. It was evident he was inclined to intervene, but I was not ready to give up just yet."I understand you hate me, but you don't know me. Why don't we give each other a chance to get acquainted?

I wanted to kill that son of a bitch with my bare hands."Can you get me in?" If they knew I was coming, they would find means to stop me and that would waste time."Of course. He bought over the hotel, but you can use his secret entry," Hank revealed.

He’s calling for backup, and I don’t know if Molly can handle it."To call for backup when dealing with a woman as a don was so disappointing, but I was proud of Molly.

    Giovanni’s POVI had paid a hefty sum to have those scandalous photos of Molly deleted, even resorting to hacking into phones to remove them so when Erica claimed to have them, I was skeptical.Don Black was playing games that I found distasteful. After Molly won the competition, he had the audacity to spout nonsense."Don Gio, I didn't finish explaining the rules before the process began," he said nervously, sensing my displeasure."What do you mean?" I scowled, my anger rising."I get to keep the winner and do as I please with her, and you get to keep the loser and do as you please with her.""How dare you?" I seethed, feeling the urge to confront him."Molly is staying with me, and I will find you," I declared firmly, with Hank monitoring the situation through a hidden camera."Don Gio, let her go.

    Giovanni’s PovI knew Don Black might try some tricks, but I never expected something as shallow as this. Thanks to Molly, I had some insight into his identity, so he couldn't fool me completely.Suddenly, Hank's voice came through the earpiece I was using to communicate with him discreetly. Molly was unaware of our communication."Gio, Don Black is at a hotel near the restaurant. I think he might ask for Molly. I'm heading there now."I wanted to inquire about Roger, but then I heard a voice in the background."Uncle Hank, I'm tracking the location."Hearing his voice lifted my spirits, but I realized I still had a gun pointed at the person in front of me and the bodyguards around had guns pointed at me and Molly but that was the least of my worries.My men were right behind the door and would enter at my signal."Don Dawson, you've got it all wrong.

    Molly’s POV“Will you believe me if I told you that you were the reason I kept wearing a white suit every day?" Gianni's question stopped me in my tracks, just before he reached the door."What are you talking about?" I asked, genuinely surprised as he patiently explained, his gaze not leaving mine."Molly, when I couldn't reach you again after everything settled down, I felt guilty, bitter, and angry with myself. Even worse, I felt like a terrible person whenever I remembered how pure you were and how I couldn't protect you from those bullies because I found out too late."Bitterness tinged his voice. "You were already married, and I couldn't contact you to apologize. That's why wearing white made me feel the purity I always saw in your eyes."I was speechless, tears threatening to spill from the corners of my eyes. His wearing white was not as people said.It was a personal matter between us and I felt guilty for trying so hard to forget him and moving on with Wesley but maybe, that

    Giovanni’s POVThe news prompted me to abruptly halt the meeting as most of the issues had been addressed."Agatha, please send the report to me first thing tomorrow morning," I instructed, and she nodded in agreement. "Yes, sir."As I stood up, I motioned for Molly to follow me before calling Hank on the phone again when we reached my office. "Tell me exactly what's going on."Hank explained, "You know how I always leave one of my spies in the shadows when I drop him off at school? He called to inform me that there were some strange men hovering around, so I told him to send a picture. Turns out, they are your mother's bodyguards."I couldn't help but chuckle at the situation. Mom's plan seemed shallow. If she captured Roger, she would try to force me to swap him with Molly, but she seemed to forget that Roger was her grandchild."Are you sure you can get him out smoothly?" I asked Hank, to which he replied with a laugh, "I went to the school immediately and picked him up. That's whe

All I wanted was to end Molly before I died, to make it all worthwhile for my mom.Gio placed the gun in Molly's hand, guiding her finger to the trigger. I hoped against hope that she wouldn't go through with it, but my fears were confirmed when he ordered, "Shoot her, Molly."Molly's hands trembled, fear evident in her eyes. She hesitated, saying, "No, I can't." A wave of relief washed over me as she tried to pull her finger away, but Gio held it firmly in place."This is my world, Molly. There are others like Nicole out there. If you can't eliminate those who threaten your life, y
