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 POV I caught my reflection in the mirror and nearly did a double-take. The emerald dress hugged me just right, with only a hint of gloss and mascara. I had tried my best not to do much, but the effect was something that couldn't go unnoticed.As I glanced over the bannister, I spotted Leonardo on a call downstairs. I think he noticed my presence, because he turned in my direction and stared at me. I heard him murmur something in Italian to the phone.I could feel his burning gaze on me as I descended the stairs, and I prayed silently not to trip and fall.When I reached him, he leaned in, pressing a light kiss to my forehead. “You look incredible,” he said, his tone softer than I’d expected.“Thank you.” I tried to look away, my cheeks warming under his steady gaze.“Shall we?” He extended his hand, and I took it, letting him lead me to the car. The drive was smooth, though I could feel his eyes on me from time to time, making me hyper-aware of every little detail.Once we ar

Kimberly POV The rest of the week passed marvelously, with Leonardo drifting in and out of the apartment. He’d be there one moment, and the next, he’d vanish. Strangely, since our near-moment of...whatever that was, we’d fallen into an easy rhythm together.I even pieced together what he meant by "punishment." It was the denied release, that almost-but-not-quite moment. And honestly, it was torture. Real Torture!This morning, I was woken by the scent of something warm and sweet. Opening my eyes, I blinked at the sight of Leonardo holding a tray with French toast and a steaming cup of ginger tea.“Hey,” I murmured, sitting up, a smile creeping onto my face at the sight."This must have taken ages to make," I teased, unable to hide my admiration.He raised an eyebrow, shrugging casually. "Not too long.""Uh-huh… So, what’s the occasion?” I asked with a laugh, eyeing the plate.“No occasion, Kimberly. Just thought I’d make something nice,” he said, shrugging it off with that familiar ai

I had on the gown Emily had secretly bought; the same gown I swore not to wear. Suddenly, I liked it on my body. Not that I don’t have anything else to wear, but I noticed Leonardo wants me to give him a "go ahead," so I know this dress can give him the answers he is looking for.I settled for a silver jewellery necklace with a matching earring. I held a black purse that complimented my black block heels.My hair was in curls, and they fell down to my back. Light, natural make-up, with a red gloss to give a bolder face."Stunning as always," Leonardo complimented as he drove himself to a small, elegant lounge."No driver needed," he had said when I asked why he's driving himself.“Osteria Amore; Love Tarven” The entrance read. That moment, I remembered it was the same lounge used to shoot a N*****x series I just watched.A place for just couples and lovers. It was said in the movie that one is not allowed to come alone. You must be there with the opposite gender, else you won’t be give

I woke with a sharp, throbbing pain in my abdomen, blinking against the early morning light. The unfamiliar surroundings hit me first: Leonardo’s room. My mind scrambled to piece together how I got here, until memories from last night drifted back—dinner, a movie, and eventually falling asleep here. But then the pain struck again, harder this time, and I felt a sticky warmth beneath me.My stomach dropped. Glancing down, I saw the faint, unmistakable stain of blood on Leonardo’s pure, white Gucci bedspread.Panic surged through me. scrambling out of bed and glancing around. He wasn’t in the room, thank God. But I had no sanitary pads, no relief for the cramps, and now his sheets were stained. The situation couldn’t be worse.Just then, I heard familiar footsteps approaching. Heart pounding, I darted into the bathroom and turned on the shower, the faucet, even the bathtub, hoping to drown out any sound.“Kimberly?” Leonardo’s voice came through the door, startling me.“Go away,” I said,

“No! Don’t touch me!” I snapped, jerking away from the strangers who claimed to be my parents. My chest heaved, and my voice cracked, but I held my ground.“Kimberly, please…” the woman said, her voice trembling as tears welled in her eyes. Her hands stretched toward me, trembling slightly, as if unsure I wouldn’t flinch away again.“You… you even know my name?” I hissed, narrowing my eyes. “How is that possible?”The man, tall and broad with streaks of gray in his hair, stepped forward. “Because we're the ones who gave you that name.” he said, his voice heavy with emotion. I froze. The weight of his words hit me like a freight train. My knees threatened to give way, but I squared my shoulders, refusing to let my guard down. “If that’s true, if you’re really my parents, then how did you lose me? How could you leave me for twenty-four years?” My voice rose with each word, my fury bubbling over. “Why now? Why come back now?”The woman, named Nancy, as the man called earlier, opened her

Leonardo pov I slammed my fist on the desk, the sharp pain cutting through my hand. It didn’t matter. Nothing did at this moment. My anger, raw and untamed, burned hotter with every tick of the clock hanging on the wall. Seven days. Seven long days since Kimberly escaped. Seven days of searching without a single trace.Was I more furious that she dared to run or worried that she had nowhere to go? My jaw tightened as I shoved the thought aside.I stormed out of the study, my footsteps echoing through the hallway like thunder."Enzo!" I barked.He appeared from around the corner, bowing slightly. "Yes, Boss. I was just about to report to you.""What did you find?" I demanded, my voice sharp enough to slice through steel.Enzo shifted uncomfortably. "We're still searching, Boss. My team just returned from her father's house. There’s no sign of her there."In one swift motion, I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him close. "I told you not to step foot in this house unless you had he

Kimberly's POV“Thirty minutes are over, ma’am,” Enzo called, peeping through the door.I hastily wiped my tears, hoping he hadn’t heard what I whispered moments ago.Taking a deep breath, I rose to my feet, taking a last glance at Emily.“Goodbye, Emily,” I murmured under my breath before turning to leave.Enzo trailed behind me as we walked to the car. The weight of his presence made my skin crawl, but I kept my composure until we reached the parking lot.I need to use the bathroom. I’m pressed,” I said abruptly, not waiting for his response as I spun around and walked briskly back into the hospital.From the corner of my eye, I saw him follow. I switched lanes, heading away from the quiet VIP section he had brought me through earlier. The bustling regular hallway, filled with patients, visitors, and nurses, provided the perfect cover.“Madam, you’re moving the wrong…”I didn’t let him finish. I ran.“Madam!” Enzo called, his voice stern and alarmed.I didn’t look back. My heart rac

Kimberly POV Leonardo released me from grounding after the recent threat, but I wondered if it had done any good. The freedom felt useless, especially with Monica around. If anything, I wished I’d stayed grounded forever, locked away from the chaos she brought.“Lucy,” I called softly, my voice raw from the weight of unspoken words.Her glare was sharp, cutting through me before she turned and walked toward the dining room where Monica was seated. Monica’s presence seemed to draw her in like a magnet, dangerous, but irresistible.“What now?” Monica asked, her voice dripping with condescension. "You want to turn out just like that did to the mother?"The words hit me like a slap, but I refused to react. If there's anything I want today, it was to avoid Drama. And Today wasn’t the day for drama.I can't even bring myself to cry anymore without having a severe headache.“When is my mom going to wake up?” Lucy asked, her voice small but laced with hope as she looked up at Monica.

Kimberly's POVI woke up feeling like I hadn’t slept at all. My body was heavy, my mind clouded, and for a brief moment, I debated staying in bed all day. After all, it's not like I'm allowed to leave the room. Dragging myself to the bathroom, I splashed cold water on my face, hoping it would snap me out of the haze. It didn’t. I stared at my reflection for a moment, frowning at the pale, tired woman looking back at me.“You’re fine,” I whispered to myself. “you will survive this, kim.”With a sigh, I picked the toothpaste to brush my teeth and freshen up.When I returned, I opened my closet, scanning for something simple yet comforting. My fingers settled on a soft cotton gown. Standing before the vanity mirror, I raised the gown, turning from side to side. I checked to see if a bump might have grown from yesterday to now. But it was still as flat as ever.A knock at the door startled me. My heart leapt. "That must be Helen," I murmured, lowering the gown and smoothing its fabric.

Kimberly POV.The five minutes I spent waiting for the pregnancy result were the longest minutes in my entire life."Damnit," I mumbled to myself as I continued madly looking down at the strip."NO!" I screamed in horror as the two pink lines shone brightly without mistake.I quickly used my hands to cover my mouth. "No no..." I shivered.I guess I had screamed too loudly because I heard someone knocking on the door. I splashed water on my face and quickly hid the strip in tissue paper.'There might be a mistake,' I thought hopefully before going back into the room."Helen, are you there?" I called out."It's Enzo, here ma'am," I heard Enzo's thick voice and I sighed in relief."I heard you scream, is everything okay ma'am?" he said again."Um... Yes. I'm fine. Was just startled earlier. Thanks.”My mind was racing. I rushed back to the bathroom, unwrapped the test strip from the tissue paper. My heart sank at the revelation. It didn't change.I left the bathroom, without bothering t

Kimberly POV "Leo, Monica shouldn't be with Lucy!" I screamed the moment he stepped into my room. My voice cracked, but I pushed through the fear that was rising in my chest.Leonardo shut the door behind him with a deliberate slowness, his face cold and unreadable. He hadn't been home all week, not since Emily slipped into a coma. Now that he was here, I wanted to do nothing but talk it all out."And who should she be with?" he asked, his voice sharp as a blade. "You?"I faltered. His tone sliced through my confidence, but I pressed on. "Monica doesn’t mean well, Leo. She doesn’t want us to…"“There is no ‘us,’ Kimberly!” he snapped, cutting me off. His voice was a roar that echoed in the room. "I regret ever letting you think there was."I flinched as his words struck me like a slap. "Leo..." I whispered, but my voice wavered, the tears I fought so hard to suppress threatening to spill.He took a step closer, his towering figure looming over me. His eyes burned with anger, and I in

Kimberly's POV"Don't you dare!" Leonardo’s voice lashed out the moment I approached the hospital entrance.He stood tall, blocking the doorway like an unmovable wall. His eyes burned with fury, and his clenched fists told me he had no intention of letting me pass."At least…just let me see her," I pleaded, my voice breaking under the weight of pain and desperation."Get out of here, Kimberly." His tone was ice-cold, slicing through the small shred of hope I’d held on to."I didn’t know, I didn’t mean for any of this to happen!" I tried again, the lump in my throat making it hard to speak.Leonardo’s jaw tightened, his glare digging into me. "She was so good to you, Kimberly. Is this how you repay her?"I opened my mouth to respond, but another voice cut through the tension."She has a way of hurting the people who care about her, doesn’t she?" Monica stepped out from the shadows, her lips curling into a smug smile. Her words dripped with malice, and her presence alone ignited my rag

For once, the mafia Don looked… uncertain.“Kimberly,” he finally said, his voice measured as he took a step toward me.“Don’t you dare come near me!” I screamed, my voice breaking. “Don’t touch me! Isn’t kidnapping me enough? Isn’t destroying my life enough? You gambled me, Leonardo! You. Gambled.

What's going on?”Leonardo didn’t answer her. Instead, his sharp gaze was fixed on me. “Kimberly, calm down and explain…”“Explain?” I laughed bitterly. “Explain? You want me to explain how
