Kimberly POV A sharp sting jolted me awake, pain searing through my back. I blinked, struggling to piece together what was happening, as the sound of gunshots broke through the haze, bringing me back to reality.“Kimberly.” My name floated through the chaos, barely audible.“Kimberly!” The voice came again, louder this time, unmistakable. Leonardo. I could pick out his voice anywhere.Gritting my teeth, I made a feeble attempt to stand, but it was futile. The stone crumbled instantly under my fingers, tumbling down in a dusty heap. The mansion was nothing but rubble now, reduced to mere debris.Another explosion ripped through the air, and I stumbled back to the ground, clutching my side as pain flared up my spine.I forced myself up again, only to see Leonardo rushing toward me. But a pile of fallen bricks had already risen between us, forming an impassable wall.I couldn’t go out, and he couldn’t get in. All around me, the walls continued to cave, pieces collapsing one after anothe

Leonardo POV I rested my head on the desk, the world around me fading as the conversation with Salvatore played on repeat in my mind. His voice was so clear, full of malice, too alive in my thoughts, and every word was like a fresh reminder that he never left.****** The Day Of The Explosion I was sipping my morning coffee when my phone buzzed. It was an unknown number. I picked it up regardless.Silence hung in the air before a voice cut through it—cold, smooth, and maddeningly familiar.“Hello, Mr. Leonardo,” he greeted.The sound of his voice was enough to make my blood run cold. I gripped the edge of the table, forcing myself to stay calm. “Salvatore.”“Nardo,” he purred, his tone thick with mockery. Only Salvatore called me that, his favourite insult hidden under a thin layer of sarcasm.“So quick to remember me”My teeth clenched, jaw tight. “What do you want?”“Ah, straight to business, as always.” He chuckled—a low, grating sound that made me clench my fist around the coffe

Kimberly POV A week had passed since we relocated to the mansion in the southern part of Spain. It was grand, imposing, just like the previous one. Talking about that, the name of the man responsible for my turmoil had finally reached my ears—Salvatore. The realisation twisted in my gut like a cruel joke.Days earlier, Luca had demanded my I*******m login after my phone was shattered, taking with it the last shred of privacy I clung to.. Together, we scrolled through my exchanges with Salvatore, each line a reminder of my recklessness. Mario and Enzo looked on, their silence heavier than words. Enzo’s gaze, hard with judgement, sliced like a knife.Suddenly, Leonardo rose from his chair, the scrape of wood against marble slicing through the tense silence. He walked over to the bar, pouring himself a glass of wine, his jaw clenched."I'm wondering why you never left," he said quietly, his voice low but laced with accusation.My breath caught. "Left? And go where, Leonardo? You took eve

Kimberly POV One thing my father taught me was the importance of keeping the flowers tidy. Yet, as I scanned the garden, I couldn't help but notice the neglect—overgrown edges, untrimmed blooms. It irked me, especially with a splitting headache pounding behind my eyes, but tending to the flowers offered a strange kind of solace, a brief reprieve from the storm in my head.Monica's presence gnawed at me, an itch that refused to be ignored. What kind of personal assistant follows her boss home? The way they had interacted that night, anyone could see the familiarity was far more than professional. Lost in thought, I didn't even realize when my clippers slid too far, nicking my nail against a thorn. The sudden sting snapped me back, just as a familiar voice cut through the quiet.“Be careful,” Leonardo called out, his voice sharp enough to make me jolt.Blood welled up from the cut, trailing down my finger, and a wave of dizziness washed over me. Before I could react, Leonardo was beside

Kimberly POV “You… You killed your own mom?” I asked, taken aback, barely able to get the words out.I knew he was ruthless, but this… this was beyond anything I’d expected.His face darkened, eyes narrowing. “Leave.”“I…”“Get out, Kimberly.!”Without a second thought, I scrambled out, heart pounding, and left him to his brooding silence. I hurried down the hall, needing air, needing answers, and found myself in the kitchen where Helen was working quietly.“Helen,” I called, my voice coming out as a whisper.She looked up, a mixture of worry and something I couldn’t place etched across her face.“You’ve been working here for years, right?” I asked, wanting to be sure she was someone I could trust for the truth.“Yes, ma’am,” she said, nodding slowly.“Leonardo… did he really kill his own mom?” I kept my voice low, watching her carefully.Her reaction was immediate; her eyes widened in shock, her brow furrowed deeply. “Who told you such a lie?” she asked, bewildered.“Leonardo told me

Kimberly POV “Why did you say she died because of you?” I finally asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Leonardo’s expression hardened, his eyes focused somewhere distant. “I couldn’t let the sleeping dog lie,” he said, his voice low and heavy.Salvatore. The name resonated like a dark omen—dangerous and deadly, a shadow cast over the past.Leonardo’s jaw clenched as he continued, “He was never worthy of being family. I tried to fight it, against my sister’s pleas. I didn’t listen, and my mother paid the price.”It took me several moments to piece it all together, the realisation snapping into place like a final puzzle piece. My eyes widened. “Salvatore… is Emily’s husband?” The shock laced my words.Leonardo’s muttered “Smart” was all the confirmation I needed. The silence that followed was heavy, the air between us taut with unspoken pain. He didn’t elaborate, and I understood the unspoken boundary. This wound was still raw, and pressing it further would break what little trust w

Kimberly POV I was in high spirits for the rest of the week. Leonardo and I had started making progress—or at least, I thought so.Since he sent me that landline, he’s been away traveling. But he still sends me texts, and I can’t help looking forward to them, even though I pretend otherwise. The thought of it makes me giggle, and I realise just how much I’ve started to rely on those messages. I was just settling down when the landline started ringing. For a split second, I hoped it was Leonardo. But it turned out to be Ian—well, not bad."Heyy," I greeted."Hi, sis," Ian said."I’ve been trying to reach Dad, but his number’s not going through. What’s up?" he asked.My heart leapt. I knew this moment would come, but I’d hoped to have a solid excuse ready by then. But as it turns out, my mind went blank."Actually..." I stammered."Sis?" Ian’s voice grew tense. "Is something wrong with Dad? Tell me!""No, not at all!" I blurted out, my voice almost too high. "He’s… on a field trip. Yea

Kimberly POV After the gym incident with Luca, I couldn’t help but feel flushed every time we were in the same room. Days rolled into weeks, and my daily life had settled into a rhythm of scrolling through my phone, chatting with Helen, binge-watching series, and occasionally reading some steamy romance stories.At dinner one evening, Leonardo looked up at me. "I hope you're prepared for the party. It’s in the U.S."“U.S.?” I repeated, almost choking. “Like…the United States?”He shrugged, casually continuing his meal. “Yeah. It’s a little grand.”I couldn’t hide my surprise. “I’ve never been there, but I’ve heard a lot about it,” I admitted, trying to keep my voice steady.“It’s not that bad,” Leonardo said calmly as he continued his meal.I took a breath, gathering the nerve to ask, “What kind of party is it, exactly?”Leonardo set his fork down, meeting my gaze. “It’s more of an investment discussion. But there’ll be a buffet, and… I’ll be there as the Don.”“Don?” The word rolled

Kimberly's POV"Ashley?" I called, my head throbbing terribly. The floor beneath me was hard and cold concrete."Ashley!" I called again, but there was no reply. Fear began to creep in.Had they hurt her because she was with me?I struggled against the restraints and quickly realized they had used locks. Wow. Experts.Footsteps echoed behind me. I tried to turn, but the restraints were too tight.When the owner of those footsteps finally stepped forward, my blood ran cold."Ashley?" I whispered, my voice trembling. "What's happening?"Her expression was unreadable."It's high time you knew," she said before landing a heavy blow on my cheek. Pain exploded across my face as I fell backward with a loud thud.---Leonardo's POV"Her number has stopped going through," Enzo said after calling Kimberly for what felt like the thousandth time."Fuck," I cursed under my breath.

Kimberly POV “I would love to go for a drive outside and maybe shop for a few things,” I said to Leo while adjusting my clothes in front of the mirror.“A drive? That’s unusual,” Leo replied, giving me a kiss.That was true, I’ve never been someone who loved going out, let alone taking a drive.Leo had a point, but I felt so stuck up here that I couldn't help it. When I reached the car park, I found Enzo waiting to drive me.“Never mind, Enzo. I’d like to go alone,” I said.“But, madam…” he started to object, when Lan appeared.“Let me drive you, sis,” Ian offered, stretching out his hand for the keys.“I’m just driving around the neighborhood, Ian. I want to be alone!” I said exasperatedly, my voice firmer than I intended.I didn’t mean to sound harsh, but if that was what it took to get out alone, then so be it.I hopped into the car and started the engine. From the mirror, I caught sight of Ian’s offended expression, which only made me laugh. He had grown so much that he felt more

"So everything was planned, and you knew Dad was going to die anyway?" I asked."Kim...""Give me a hug, come here." I chuckled, unable to swallow the lump nestled in my throat.My little brother had gone through so much things I never could have imagined, all because of me."I'm sorry," I sobbed into his shoulder. "I'm so sorry." My cries grew louder."It's not your fault. I'm sorry things had to turn out this way too.""No... it's my fault," I struggled to say."I borrowed the money in the first place because of me, remember?" Ian said, gently wiping away my tears."I've missed my Kimberly," he whispered before pulling me into a tighter hug.Oh my. A reunion couldn’t be more emotional than ours.---"You didn’t tell Ian you killed his dad, right?" I asked Leonardo late at night after we'd both retired to bed.Leonardo shifted, reaching to turn on the lights."Don’t," I stopped him. "I don’t want to see your face."With a resigned sigh, he lay back down."...I didn’t kill your father

Kimberly POV Arianna’s laughter filled the air. Lan was busy performing his "big uncle duties," playing with her.I still refused to speak to him, and I was definitely not going to make this easy."Hey, sis," Lan called the moment he saw me. Arianna babbled as well, stretching her arms toward me."My baby..." I said, lifting her into the air, making her burst into a fit of laughter."Helen, come play with Ari," I called."But..." Lan started to object but fell silent upon second thought."I want to hear it all, how you met him, how you asked for help. Just everything," I said, taking a seat beside him, my face blank, unreadable.Lan sighed, then gave me a warm smile before he began."After I was sent to the Academy, everything was going smoothly. I was bright, and I soon overshadowed my seniors.Then one day, Dad called me, saying he owed some loan sharks and had decided to send me abroad. He didn't want to burden you since you were already footing the bills back home. He asked if I

Kimberly POV "I would like to call Emily for dinner," Leonardo said while I was struggling to feed Arianna. Helen was supposed to do it, but I had avoided going downstairs for fear of bumping into Leonardo or worse.But here he was, my worst fear, standing right in front of me."Dinner?" I repeated."Yeah, I booked a nice restaurant. It’ll be a great get-together," he coaxed."Get-together, my foot." I remained silent afterward, making it clear that I disagreed."See you at six," Leonardo said before leaving."I'm so frustrated!" I groaned at my baby. "How can your daddy be so clueless? Doesn’t he know I’m mad at him?" I asked Arianna again, but she only stared at me with wide eyes, babbling in her own little language."Let’s just sleep," I muttered."Who the hell goes to dinner at six?" I grumbled to myself while wiping Arianna's body with a fluffy baby towel.I carefully slipped the pink dress over her head, the one I had picked earlier. Since we weren’t going out yet, I spared her

Kimberly POV "What do you mean you work for him?" My voice trembled as I spoke, my body already shaking.Ian's lips parted as if to explain, but I didn't let him."What the hell!" I screamed, unable to hold it in any longer.My chest heaved as I turned to him, disbelief crashing over me. "You've been working for Leonardo all this time?" The words tasted bitter in my mouth. "How? You've been in college, right?""Sis…""No! Don't call me that, Lan! Answer me!" I shoved his broad shoulder, but he barely moved. My hands curled into fists. "You can't be serious."This had to be a prank. A cruel, ridiculous joke. Ian wouldn’t, he couldn’t, have been a part of Leonardo’s world all this time."If this is a joke, stop it now." My voice wavered as I searched his face for any sign of teasing.But the man seated beside me stayed quiet, saying nothing and not ready to say anything either.The car came to a halt, and I could hardly wait for the engine to die before storming into the mansion.I met

“Where’s Monica, Leo?” I asked the moment he finished changing Arianna’s diaper that morning.Speaking of diapers, Leo was becoming more like a mum when it comes to that.His hands moved with practiced ease, yet I noticed a slight tremor as he lifted her from the changing table. He carried her to the crib, rocking her gently until her eyes fluttered closed. Then, with a quiet sigh, he turned to sit beside me.“Since Arianna’s birth… I haven’t wanted to stain my hands with blood. At least, not now,” he murmured, rubbing his palms together.I sat up, my curiosity piqued. “What do you mean?”His jaw tensed slightly before he answered. “I sent her to the family's mine in East Africa.”I blinked. “East Africa?” My heart skipped a beat. “Leo, that’s no different from a death sentence.”“I didn’t kill her,” he said, his voice firmer now.“You could have just arrested her, or…”“Kimberly.” His tone darkened. “You know the world we live in. There’s no real justice here. If I let her go, she’d

Leonardo POV.Kimberly soon drifted into sleep, her breathing soft and even. I watched in silence, the gentle rise and fall of her chest anchoring me to the present. A few hours ago, everything had changed, yet I was still struggling to process it.The door swung open, and I turned, only to have the shock of my life.Emily stood there, beaming, cradling a tiny bundle in her arms."Emily?" My voice barely escaped my lips, as if I needed confirmation that my eyes weren’t deceiving me."Yes, brother," she replied, stepping inside and shutting the door."I woke up a few hours ago just to hear Kimberly was in labor," she explained, her expression brimming with excitement.I ran a hand down my face, overwhelmed. "I've never been a religious person," I murmured, voice thick with emotion. "But these past hours… they make me want to believe in miracles."I buried my head in my hands, still reeling. A daughter. I had a daughter."Leonardo," Emily’s voice softened. "You should hold her."I hesi

Leonardo POV Ignoring Monica, I rushed towards the door without waiting for my father or Mario.If there's anything I want right now, it’s to be by Kimberly’s side during her childbirth.I didn’t even look back as I made my way to the parking lot, heart racing. My Range Rover was waiting for me.“Leonardo, I think I should drive,” Mario called out, just as I slid into the driver's seat.I shot him a sharp look, my patience getting thin. “Get the fuck in the car, Mario,” I snarled, signaling for my father to get in too.The drive from here to the hospital should’ve taken thirty minutes, but with the traffic, it felt like an eternity. Every moment stretched, dragging on in a haze of red lights and impatient honks.“Wait for me, baby,” I whispered, the words barely leaving my lips as I weaved between cars and trucks that seemed to take up every inch of the road.The light turned red just as I neared the intersection, and I swerved to avoid slamming into a truck, my heart racing."Holy
