EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 33 - MORETTI MILITARY GUILD
BIANCA’S POVAs I moved to check who was at the door through the intercom, any thought that it could be Maria vanished from my head. Maria wouldn’t know I was back home, so she wouldn’t bother with the doorbell. A peek at the outdoor camera showed me that there were at least five burly men in suits standing outside, alongside Hector.Fear seized me, but Hector didn’t look scared; he was conversing with one of the men. Still, I had to make sure my baby was safe, so I sent him upstairs first, leaving the men at the door without a response until I saw his little legs disappear above the stairs.“Who is it?” I asked calmly, keeping the tremor out of my voice. Did Matteo send men to take me? It didn’t seem out of character for him.“We are Mr. Moretti’s men, Miss Rossi,” a deep baritone called out. He was the one Hector was conversing with before. Alessandro’s men? A sudden surge of anger took over me. Did he send his men over because I left him abruptly? Were the men here to bring me back

BIANCA’S POV*A week later*“Madam Rossi, do you have any holdups?” I was jerked out of my thoughts by the voice of the deputy director of one of the branches of my company. I blinked and looked at her face clearly; she was in charge of Nirvania, the branch in France. I did indeed have a lot of holdups with their branch. They had let other brands get ahead of them during the last fashion week. I couldn’t muster up the energy to begin to recount all their mistakes. However, I was sure everyone in the conference room realized how distraught I was during the meeting. “I’ll send an email; let’s close this meeting,” I said tiredly. The people gathered around the table began to protest. I didn’t blame them—most of them had traveled over from their various branches, ready to curry extra favor. But I wasn’t in the best frame of mind for anything related to work right then. Thankfully, Darren shut their protests down quickly enough. “The boss has preoccupations to get to. We will inform

BIANCA’S POV“Wh-what?! Is Luca okay?! Let me talk to my baby!” I exclaimed, my heart racing. I didn’t care about any identification at that point; I needed to know if my baby was okay.“The young Mr. Rossi is perfectly alright, ma’am,” the man assured me. My heart still couldn’t stop its frantic beating. Darren was looking at my phone with fear in his eyes after hearing what I had said. He couldn’t hear what the person on the other side was saying, but anyone would panic after seeing the fear in my eyes.“Let me talk to him, please!” I demanded. The man on the phone went silent for so long that I thought he had ended the call out of annoyance at my insistence. Then I heard my little baby’s voice.“Mommy, the super spies are so cool!” he yelled into my ear. My breath released with a whoosh, and I fell into a seat tiredly. My baby was truly safe.“Are you alright, my darling? No injuries?” I asked him, focusing on his voice intensely to catch any inconsistencies if he was lying.“No, M

BIANCA’S POVThe drive had been filled with comfortable, companionable silence as we reached the hulking mammoth of a utility factory. I had forgotten just how rich Alessandro really was. He wasn’t just some daddy’s rich boy; he was the type of rich that made people scared. How did he have so much time to hang out doing nothing?“Luca?” I yelled out the moment I got inside. It was well-lit, but there were so many containers. It seemed like a trap, but I had no self-preservation instincts. Linda, my American friend, had painfully drilled that into my head after I told her about my visit to the warehouse to meet Sophia the other time.“Shut up!” Darren hushed me, pulling me behind him to shield me from any oncoming horrors. I felt chagrined. It wasn’t safe to yell in a place that seemed so empty and deserted.“We are here, Miss Rossi,” the man I assumed to be their leader said, extending a hand to shake mine. I had no idea where he came from; Luca’s assessment that they were super spies

BIANCA’S POVI wasn’t exactly sure what was happening, but I didn’t like it. Why would Sophia be bold enough to take my son when Alessandro was gone? Luca wasn’t even her rival here; it was I. Did she think I would back away to protect my son?She thought right. If Alessandro’s men hadn’t caught the man, I would have given everything to get my baby back. As it stood, there was nothing I could do to deter Sophia except by using Alessandro’s men to send a message back to her.“I see. Well, I suppose we should send a message back to her, don’t you?” I steeled my voice, turning Luca towards Darren. “Give me a minute, will you?” I gestured for Darren to take Luca away.Darren was reluctant to leave me alone, but we exchanged a look, and he rolled his eyes, scooping up Luca and leaving the dark room. The dim lighting created an eerie atmosphere as the man’s chains rattled when he saw Luca leaving.I could see the desperation in his eyes as he realized the only assurance that things wouldn’t

BIANCA’S POVThe man sneered at me, making no effort to help me steady myself. “I should ask you that, young lady. This place is closed to outsiders,” he frowned. He looked angry about something, and being lost and alone with an angry man didn’t seem like the best situation for me.“Could you help me find the exit?” I asked instead, feeling for anything behind me that I could use as a weapon while I was still on the floor. The man looked angrier, reaching into his pocket for something I could only pray wasn’t a gun. He seemed too angry to be a normal person, and his resemblance to my missing boyfriend became slightly more pronounced, save for the difference in their heights and intonations.Alas! It was, in fact, a gun. I cursed my luck. Everything was going against me today. I should have told Darren immediately that I had no idea where I was. Luca was too young to lose his mother.I kicked up my leg, hitting him in the shin. The man yowled, and I scrambled to stand up before he coul

BIANCA’S POVI looked properly at the man, seeing the fight drain out of him completely. "I am so sorry," he breathed, his eyes still fixed on Luca. Darren snapped his head to look back at me, silently asking what was happening. I shrugged. I couldn’t answer what I didn’t know."We’ll be leaving now," I said pointedly, getting Luca into the car first. The man seemed more mellow at the clear show of distrust I was displaying."I’m Giovanni, Sandro’s immediate younger brother," he said, stretching out a hand to hold my car door just as I was about to enter. Darren quickly intercepted, placing a forceful hand on Giovanni’s and removing it from the door."You can introduce yourself without getting so close," he said, standing between Giovanni and me. The air was tense, and I half-expected someone to throw a punch. Instead, Giovanni sighed and backed away."I want to apologize to her," he said to Darren, giving him a slightly hostile look. I couldn’t see Darren’s face, but I was certain he

DARREN’S POV I had not been myself all day, just like Bianca hadn’t been herself all week. After hearing about Luca’s near kidnapping, fear had taken hold of me. I loved Luca; he was the biggest light in Bianca’s life, and the thought of anything happening to my best friend made me shut down. Then we saw my trashy boyfriend kissing a woman like some spineless bastard. I hadn’t really liked him anyway—I didn’t feel anything between us. He wanted to use me as a ladder to the top, and I needed something to pass the time. It still hurts, though. I needed to get to the roots of Alessandro’s life to protect Bianca and Luca because the man was becoming more and more convoluted. What could one man need a torture facility this huge for? No one could convince me otherwise, not even the fake happy vibe the interior decoration gave off. Something definitely screamed dark about it all. Bianca and Luca hadn’t noticed anything, though, with Luca droning on and on about how the spies were coo

EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! EPILOGUE 5 (THE END)
RICARDO’S POVThe man I was a year ago would probably hate me now—or at least laugh at how far I’d fallen.Standing in the warm kitchen of the villa, with the scent of fresh herbs and garlic wafting through the air, I stirred the pot of sauce absentmindedly. Linda was sitting at the island, flipping through some magazines and occasionally humming to herself. She looked up every now and then to check on me, smile always at the ready.“I still can’t believe you cook,” Linda said, her voice lilting with playful disbelief as she rested her chin on her palm. She sat at the island like it was her throne, watching me work.“You’ve known for months,” I replied without looking up, though I couldn’t stop the slight twitch of a smile tugging at my lips.“Knowing and believing are two different things,” she said dramatically as if the mere thought of me wielding a spatula were too much to process. “I mean, come on. You, Ricardo Moretti, slayer of gangsters, protector of secrets, simmering marinar
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! EPILOGUE 4
THIRD PERSON POVLinda stared at the bouquet in her hands, utterly baffled. Roses, hydrangeas, and something that looked suspiciously like a baby's breath. It was the kind of bouquet people bought when they were trying to make a statement. The most ridiculous part was that her fans hadn’t been the ones to send it to her.She glanced up at him, her brooding, possibly homicidal boyfriend — he had become less homicidal, she had to give that to him — standing there like he hadn’t just handed her the boldest floral arrangement she’d ever seen.“You bought me flowers?” she asked, her voice laced with disbelief.His sharp, dark eyes flicked to her, then away, as though he were scanning the room for an escape route. His usual cool, unshakable demeanor had cracked just enough to reveal the faintest hint of discomfort. “Yes.”Linda squinted at him, holding the bouquet to her chest like he might snatch it away. “Are you dying?”“No.”“Did you do something terrible and now you’re trying to soften
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! EPILOGUE 3
RICARDO’S POVThe soft hum of the phone ringing cut through the tension in the air. I was elbow-deep in chaos, surrounded by the thick stench of gunpowder and the distant, muffled screams of men who were just realizing that their time was up.My team and I had spent the last few hours cleaning up the mess of corrupt gangsters who thought they could cross me. The usual mix of quick punches, fast moves, and lethal precision had done the job, but as always, it was the aftermath that lingered.I swiped my phone from the back pocket of my jeans, not even checking the ID. The ringtone was familiar enough; she had forced Rises the Moon on me herself, so I knew who it was. My lips involuntarily quirked as I lifted the phone to my ear.“Go for Ricardo,” I said coolly, stepping over the body of a man who’d decided to fight rather than run. “What’s up?”“Hey, you!” Her voice came through the phone, a little cracked but still unmistakable; the reception in the shitty warehouse couldn’t keep me fr
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! EPILOGUE 2
BIANCA’S POVI adjusted my blazer, glancing at Darren with a calm expression as we approached the visitor’s room. I’d been prepared for this moment, mentally rehearsing every word I’d say, ever since the beautiful day of his and the Dobres' downfall. Darren walked beside me – sauntered really – with the countenance of someone ready to kill a man. I would have liked to complain, but his protective presence was a comforting reminder that I wasn’t facing this alone.When we entered, Matteo was already there, sitting stiffly in one of the chairs. His once-pristine suit looked worn, almost threadbare, and there was a shadow of desperation in his eyes that hadn’t been there when he was the man I’d once known. The air of arrogance he used to carry was gone, replaced by something much smaller, much weaker.“Matteo,” I greeted evenly, my voice giving away nothing. I didn’t sit; he wasn’t worthy of being in a room where I was also seated in. Instead, I stood tall, my gaze unwavering as I let hi
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! EPILOGUE 1
BIANCA’S POV Three months later, I was halfway through drafting an email when the door to my office cracked open. “Mommy, can I come in?” Luca’s voice rang out, all sweetness and patience that I knew wouldn’t last long. I looked up from my desk to see my six-year-old poking his head around the door, his brown curls slightly mussed from running around. Behind him, Alessandro leaned casually against the doorframe, his usual composed demeanor tempered by the amused smile playing at his lips. “Are you alone?” I teased, arching a brow. “Or are you bringing trouble with you?” Luca giggled and stepped in, revealing Lazarro trailing behind him. The ten-year-old was holding a bag that looked suspiciously like it contained illegal items, but he was a ten-year-old, how much trouble could he bring along? “Trouble is relative,” Alessandro quipped, stepping into the room and pressing a kiss to the top of my head. “And you’re the king of it,” I shot back with a smirk. Luca climbed onto my lap
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
