EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 127 - I LIKE UNCLE’S HUGS
BIANCA’S POV“Where did you go?!” I tried my hardest not to yell at my baby. He was looking plump and well-rested, so at least it seemed like he hadn’t suffered the whole day he’d been awake. In fact, there were telltale markings of his drool and the imprint of his hand on his face, like he had been sleeping.“The gardens. I was there all day with the faeries,” he pouted, and I knew I was not getting anything out of him again. I didn’t know when he started thinking he could keep secrets from his mother, but he felt like he was a big boy now, and who was I to query my big boy?“Next time you go out with the faeries, notify me or your mother first, okay?” Alessandro said, the boy still tightly in his grasp. Luca was grinning like a mischievous imp, and I shook my head. He took after his father. I couldn’t believe I had nearly turned the whole villa upside down. I had even called in people who hadn’t been in the villa in days, like Linda, Darren, and even Charlie.“Okay, Daddy. See, I go

BIANCA’S POV “You,” I pointed to Alessandro, “come with me,” I said and left for our room. “Ooh, someone’s getting kinky, that’s our cue to leave, my love,” I heard Darren say. Just because I wanted to see Giovanni’s face, I rushed back down silently. As expected, his face was aflame, and he had a silly smile on his face, despite the fact that they were already officially dating. I wondered offhandedly if I ever smiled like that at Alessandro because I remembered clearly that he often did the same. “Ugh! You fall in love once, and I can’t have any peace anymore,” Linda deadpanned, getting up and cleaning off her purse. “I’ll be in my home; I refuse to be stabbed in the eyes any longer with romantic nonsense.” If not for the smile in her voice, I would have thought she was being serious. She was so obsessed with being on her own that it wouldn’t have been out of pocket if she actually said it seriously. I couldn’t remember what the last person Linda dated even looked like; that was

LINDA’S POVI slipped into my car and began to drive home. It was late, and I hated driving late. It was traumatizing and scary for no reason, so I tried to avoid driving late as much as possible. It was dark, and I couldn’t really see much of anything, so I was driving slowly. As I got to the interstate leading directly into Turin, I regretted not staying in the room Bianca had offered me.There were men with what I discerned to be knives at the edge of the road, hiding and waiting for me to casually drive by so they could plunder me. I had just bought this heavy-duty car. I quite liked it, and as such, it was understandable that I didn’t want to part with it yet.I squinted into the darkness. I had relatively good eyesight, and there were two cars sitting in the fog, blocking my way if I tried to run. Judging by common sense, there would be cars at the back too to stop me from retreating. The men were still hiding, not knowing that I had seen them.I smirked. They probably hadn’t ex

LINDA’S POVMy heart pounded as I gripped the wheel, trying to steady my breathing. The blond man sauntered toward my jeep, his movements calm and deliberate, like a predator confident in its prey. He wasn’t carrying a weapon—not visibly, at least—but the men pouring out of the other jeeps were armed to the teeth. Their demeanor wasn’t like the bumbling idiots I’d just demolished. No, these men moved like professionals. Coordinated. Deadly.I was so fucked.“Talented?” I called out, masking my panic with a sweet, innocent smile. “Oh, you’re too kind. But, uh, I don’t think I’m really cut out for…whatever this is.” I gestured vaguely at their convoy, doing my best impression of someone who wasn’t absolutely losing her mind. “You know how it is. Early mornings, long hours. Not really my thing.”The blond man stopped a few feet away from my car, tilting his head like he was studying an exotic animal at the zoo. His playful smile widened, but his eyes stayed sharp. “Not your thing. You su

LINDA’S POVThe jeep ride to my doom felt longer than it should have. My wrists were bound so tightly that my fingers were going numb, and every pothole on the road seemed to be designed to jar me alone.They had pulled out tight ropes from the backseat and wrapped me like a criminal on trial for the murder of children the moment they tossed me inside. My heart was pumping blood in overdrive, and I would be collapsing from a heart attack sooner than I could be threatened if they didn’t hurry up.Blondie sat still, silent and relaxed, as if transporting bound captives to their mob boss was his version of a relaxing drive. Then again, he was probably used to this kind of thing.Meanwhile, Yuri, the human equivalent of a sledgehammer, sat beside me calmly, his lips twitching upward like he was daring me to try something stupid. I wasn’t dumb enough to. Not because I didn’t want to escape, but because the odds of me headbutting my way to freedom were slim. His skull looked like it could c

LINDA’S POV“You know me?” I asked. I could only hope whoever had hired them hadn’t asked them to kill me. There was no way I could escape from the warehouse alive as it was.“Stop talking to the boss directly!” one of the men behind him growled at me, loudly. My ringing ears chose to pick up on that sound directly, and it reverberated in my skull. It wasn’t my fault! How was I supposed to know mafioso etiquette? Perhaps that was what Yuri had been trying to achieve by hitting me so hard.“Oh no, the woman that paid for her life is a rather dear friend to the big boss. That makes Miss Collins a good friend too,” the boss said, his tone very polite and light, like he was simply making observations on a golf course.So the person after me was a woman. Well, that certainly narrowed the list down to one person. I never liked to make enemies of women—not when hot-tempered, irritating men were right there. Unfortunately, there was one woman who had succeeded in being my mortal enemy, engagi

LINDA’S POVThe figure stepped fully into the dim light, his white shirt immaculate despite the dusty, grimy warehouse. How had he kept a white shirt inconspicuous? His hair was dark, roughed up in a way that made him look like a vampire that had just risen from his coffin, and his sharp jawline was set with an almost casual disdain. His eyes swept over the room, taking in the cowering men, the scattered weapons, and finally, me.It was Ricardo.I didn’t know whether to be relieved or terrified. Sure, he wasn’t here to tear me limb from limb—probably—but the terror he had already wracked on my soul didn’t really inspire comfort. And now, here he was, sauntering in like the king of hell had just taken a leisurely stroll into my own personal disaster.I could only hope he still didn’t want me dead because his menacing aura was crushing me, and I was sure I couldn’t take him even in a fair fight naturally, not to talk of when he was exuding this kind of presence.“Dante,” the Boss stamme

LUMARI’S POVIt was another annoying day, waking up to the cries of my one-year-old and the babbling of his older sister. I didn’t deserve to live like this. This hadn’t been what I agreed to when I propositioned Ricardo.He was a Moretti, someone part of a very important family in Italy. I was born and bred in Romania, but their influence spread so far that my family knew of them. I had latched onto him quickly before any other woman would get the chance to. It was my one-way ticket to living the life I deserved.Unfortunately, he was a baffling man, and he dropped his family name not long after we got married. I had tried my best not to feel offended. Perhaps he was testing me. That was what I kept thinking until the first year passed, and he was still bearing his own name. He was also unbelievably underwhelming. Our house was average and nothing remarkable, our cars were regular cars, and yet I knew his younger brothers rode in sportscars every day.That said, I couldn’t fully take

EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 150 – THE DOBRES WERE AS GOOD AS GONE!
ALESSANDRO’S POV“Looks like the future’s here,” Bianca murmured in reference to what the patriarch had said before, her voice dripping with mock sympathy. Her gaze was fixed on the Dobre patriarch, whose previously smug composure now seemed on the verge of crumbling.I tilted my head slightly and slipped a hand around her to bring her closer, unable to resist. “What a shame it’s not the one they envisioned.”Darren sauntered over with a large smile on his face, and I could relate to him. He had been wanting to release the information about Matteo for such a long time, and I was certain it felt like a balm on his wearied soul to finally enact revenge against the scum.“Showtime,” he said, just loud enough for us to hear. The crowd was awash with murmurs and people whispering loudly, clearly intending to target the Dobres and make sure they heard their speculations. Lumari was confused, Samuel was furious, and Toria was trying to play the good wife. The negative energy in the room had
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 149 – TO THE END OF AN ERA!
ALESSANDRO’S POVI leaned against the marble pillar, my fingers drumming idly on the rim of my untouched champagne glass. The evening was a disaster. Not the catastrophic, bloody kind of disaster I was used to handling, but the sort of slow-burn chaos that made me wish I’d missed the whole spectacle in the first place.And of course, it all started with Giovanni.My younger brother’s camera crew was bustling around the room, shoving microphones and lenses into the faces of people who, mere minutes ago, had been dignified power players. Now, they were giddy fans jostling for selfies and sound bites, trying to get their good sides.Larisa was hanging on to my arm for dear life like I was going to fade away into dust if she didn’t, and irritation clawed up my throat. If Bianca had been beside me instead of this bitch, I would have been able to enjoy the look on the Dobre patriarch’s face as his revered gala became a celebrity meet-and-greet. I only had to wait a little; she was in the ro
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 148 - GIOVANNI'S ARRIVAL
LIMARI’S POVThe conversation had become a tangled mess of pleasantries, small talk, and carefully crafted smiles. It was all just so… predictable. I could feel the eyes on me, but not in the way I wanted. Tonight was supposed to be mine—mine to shine, mine to be the center of attention. I had worked hard for this, after all. I was the newest Dobre, the woman Samuel had chosen, the one who would help bring the family into the new age. I wasn’t just attending this gala; I was the gala.And yet, despite everything, my heart still thudded uneasily in my chest. The sensation wasn’t from Samuel, who stood tall beside me, a constant presence as calm as ever. No, the feeling came from Ricardo, Ricardo of all people, who, of course, had shown up looking effortlessly handsome, as though he hadn’t even tried. And, worse yet, he was with… her.Linda Collins.She stood beside him, the actress and writer who had quietly slipped into the crowd as though she owned it. People had already begun to rec
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 147 – TONIGHT, THE GAME WAS FAR FROM OVER!
LUMARI’S POVI leaned in slightly toward Samuel, keeping my voice casual. “I’m going to have a word with my sister-in-law,” I murmured, referring to Larisa.I didn’t wait for his response, knowing he’d be fine with whatever I chose to do. I turned toward the four people—Ricardo, his new companion, Larisa, and Alessandro—and made my way over, every step calculated to project confidence.As I approached, Larisa’s eyes immediately locked onto me, a flicker of something unreadable passing through her gaze. She was always so composed, so perfect, the princess of the Dobre family. She had the bloodline, the power. There was no sarcasm here, no sharp words from me. No, tonight, I needed to tread carefully.“Lumari,” she greeted, her smile bright and almost affectionate. “How wonderful to see you. I’m so glad you could join us tonight.”I returned her smile, though it felt a little strained. “Of course, Larisa. How could I miss it? It’s such an important night for the family.”We exchanged pl
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 146 – TONIGHT, I WAS HIS, AND I WOULD LET EVERYONE KNOW IT!
LUMARI’S POVThe grand ballroom of the Dobre quarterly gala shimmered with the quiet elegance that only the highest branches of society could orchestrate. Chandeliers hung like jewels in the night, their soft light spilling over the polished floors, the delicate lace of crystal illuminating every corner of the room.The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfumes, finely aged wine, and the muted hum of polite conversation between rich people.I stood at the entrance, making sure my presence was nothing short of commanding. I wasn’t just attending this time; I was the event, the brand new wife of the Dobres that would be showcased.The crowd seemed to part as I moved through it, their eyes drawn to me like moths to a flame. My emerald silk dress clung to my curves, cascading to the floor in an elegant pool behind me. The color was chosen not only for its beauty but for the power it projected. Samuel had made sure to choose it for me himself.A life with Ricardo could have never
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 145 - BY THE TIME THE GALA ENDS, THE DOBRES WILL BE FINISHED!
THIRD PERSON’S POVThe tension in the room was palpable as Ricardo took his place at the helm of the dining table, his calm yet commanding presence silencing even Giovanni’s sarcastic mutterings. Linda leaned back in her chair, watching with barely contained amusement as the group settled into something resembling order.They were at his villa, only because most of the sensitive plans were in his study and would be dangerous to transport from place to place so casually.Bianca had immediately felt at home, claiming the color scheme made her calm. Ricardo suspected that all was not normal with Bianca. She was looking a bit more round than she did last week, and she was as sporadic as she was moody, but what did he know? He only had sharp eyes; he couldn’t really interpret what it meant.His voice, low and steady, cut through the room. “I have already started dismantling the Dobres’ foundation. Their partners are suffocating under the pressure I’ve applied—financial audits, legal threat
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 144 - YOU THINK I DO THIS OFTEN?
THIRD PERSON POVRicardo’s breath was ragged as he carried her from the wall to the bed. Her legs wrapped tighter around his waist, her hands threading into his hair as their lips clashed again—fiery and insistent.“Was this…” she managed to gasp, her voice a mix of amusement and desire. “The grand tour you had in mind?”Ricardo growled low in his throat, the sound vibrating against her lips as he lowered her onto the bed with a control that belied the hunger in his eyes. He loomed over her, his weight pinning her, his lips moving to her neck.“Keep talking, Linda,” he rasped, his voice dark, rough, and tantalizingly close to a threat. “Let’s see how long you keep that sharp tongue of yours.”Her soft laugh turned into a breathless sigh as his hands roamed her body, his touch firm and possessive. He pulled her closer, his fingers tracing the curve of her waist—like he needed to feel every inch of her.“I’m not scared of you, Moretti,” she whispered, her hands tugging at his shirt, exp
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 143 - HOW FORWARD OF YOU, MR. MORETTI
THIRD PERSON POVBianca leaned against the kitchen counter, her fingers nervously tracing the rim of her coffee cup. The late evening light cast a warm glow across the room, but her mind was elsewhere, on the entirely self-inflicted predicament she’d thrown Linda into.“Do you think I made a mistake?” she asked, glancing over at Alessandro, who was sitting at the kitchen table, meticulously slicing a pear for Luca, who was arguing with Lazarro about how ‘rocking’ green bikes were compared to blue. A perfectly lovely day, save for the fact that she had pushed her best friend into going on a fake date, twice.He raised an eyebrow, not looking up from his task. “Depends. What mistake are we talking about today?”Bianca huffed. “You know. Pushing Linda into those dates with Ricardo. She barely agreed to it, and he’s…” She gestured vaguely as if the act of describing Ricardo required divine assistance. “He’s Ricardo. What if I shoved her into a lion’s den? What if he devours her?”Alessand
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 142 - BECAUSE I’D BE HERE EVEN IF YOU HADN’T ASKED
THIRD PERSON’S POVRicardo was annoyed, but he was used to dealing with situations like these. This was Claire Davenport, the woman who had reportedly sent the members of Livodi after Linda. He had asked Edward, one of his informants, to make sure that she wouldn’t be able to harm Linda or anyone associated with her anymore. How had he not realized that it meant Claire should disappear?“At least I’m not dating a gigolo!” Claire exclaimed, angry and embarrassed. She had purposely gone to seduce Kalam, the mob boss of Livodi, just so she could have the upper hand over Linda for once and end their rivalry with finality. He was ugly and rough, but she would do anything to own the kind of power Livodi had. Kalam had assured her that he would take care of Linda for her, so why was she still alive and going on a date with someone so handsome?“Gigolo? Your informants need to get another job. They’re terrible at the one they currently have,” Linda sneered, turning to face Claire fully. Befor
