Emilia falls in love with her older brother's best friend, Matthew. However, she is too afraid to express her feelings, fearing rejection. After a night of heavy drinking, she ends up sleeping with him, and the night is passionate, but she gets pregnant without anyone knowing. She leaves New York and moves to Italy, deciding to have no further involvement with her father's mafia business. However, three years later, she has to return for her brother's wedding. She never expected that what seemed to be a happy event for her brother would mark the beginning of all her suffering and struggles. Losing loved ones and reuniting with the man she loves deeply, can Emilia control everything, seek revenge for her family, and find her true love? . . "Emilia, who is the father of the child?" Matthew asked coldly, his gaze dark and filled with anger and jealousy, though no one, not even Emilia, could see it. No one knew that he, too, had always loved Emilia, deeply...

Turning toward Emilia, he spoke softly, “Anyone can betray me, except for you, Emilia.”It was hard to deny that Matthew was right, but where did he get that confidence from? Seeing his confident demeanor really irked Emilia, so she deliberately said, “What if I betray you? What would you do?”Matthew slowly walked forward until he was right in front of Emilia. She stubbornly didn’t step back, and as a result, Matthew’s tall frame pushed her down. However, she wasn’t afraid. She just looked at him calmly. As expected, Matthew quickly wrapped his arm around her waist to make sure she wouldn’t fall.Seeing the fearless look on Emilia’s face, Matthew could only sigh. “Stop causing trouble,” he said, his expression turning more serious and cold than ever. “If you dare betray m
At night, the entire space sank into an eerie calm and tranquility, so strange that Emilia even felt as though the events from earlier that morning had been nothing but a nightmare.But the dull room and Ray lying asleep on the bed reminded her that it was not a dream. She had returned to New York after three years and witnessed her father and brother die before her eyes.They were gone, and she couldn’t do anything to save them.Emilia sat on the bed, her eyes always watching Ray. Suddenly, a tear fell from her beautiful eyes, soaking into the bed sheets.Emilia was stunned, then quickly turned away, looking out the window. She didn’t wipe the tear, letting it continue to fall. She quietly cried, making no sound except for her trembling back.Suddenly, a warm hand rested on her shoulder, and right after, a warm embrace enveloped her.Emilia widened her eyes slightly, her forehead resting on the warm chest of the man. The air around her nose carried a fresh scent like the forest, mixe
"The child's father is dead!" Emilia stated without hesitation.She didn’t notice how Matthew’s gaze deepened. On the surface, his expression remained cold, but the burning anger in his eyes began to subside.Fine. As cruel as it seemed, he was relieved to hear that the man was out of Emilia's life. What comforted him even more was that Emilia didn’t seem to miss him at all.However, thinking about how Emilia had been raising their child alone all this time stirred an unsettling mix of emotions in him. His eyes lingered on the adorable child nestled in Emilia’s arms as his brow furrowed slightly.Before he could voice his thoughts, Emilia spoke up again. "Could you prepare a room for me? Ray needs to sleep."Matthew swallowed the words bubbling in his throat and gave a curt nod. He instructed the butler to lead Emilia to a room.The room she was brought to was spacious but decorated in a stark black-and-white scheme. With just a glance, Emilia could tell whose room it was. She turned
Matthew had never expected things to escalate this way. He stood helpless as his best friend fell, unable to act in time.The thought running through his mind at that moment was a mix of anger and disbelief: how could Curtis and the Adonis family have been so careless? Could love have blinded Curtis’s eyes and dulled his senses?But now wasn’t the time for such thoughts. Gunfire erupted all around, forcing Matthew to move swiftly to avoid it.Leaping into action, his tall, athletic frame moved with the agility of a panther. With lightning speed, he kicked one of the Russian attackers and raised his weapon, firing precise shots that struck the heads of his targets. His bullets found their marks, even grazing the Russian kingpin and his daughter despite their bodyguards’ protective formation. If Alice hadn’t pushed her father aside in time, the bullet would have gone straight through his heart.Matthew frowned slightly. The girl had an unusually sharp sense of awareness and remarkable s
The New York sky was unusually beautiful today. The wind played with the pristine white clouds, and gentle sunlight bathed the bustling city below like a magnificent symphony welcoming a child returning from afar.Emilia never thought she’d set foot here again after three years.“I’ve just landed. I’ll be there soon… Of course, I wouldn’t miss your wedding,” she said softly into her phone.Her face betrayed little emotion, but her amber eyes carried a perpetual sorrow, as if her heart had never truly been at peace.She had returned to New York after three years away to attend her brother’s wedding. She had thought she’d never return, but she knew she couldn’t keep running. It was time to come clean with her brother... about her son.Ray, her son, nestled in her arms. When he noticed her attention on him, his face lit up, and he began babbling excitedly. Though he could only utter simple words and unintelligible sounds, his joy was unmistakable.Emilia smiled and gently pressed her for
