DARREN’S POV

“Any woman that has the strength and forces to get past the guild members and cross into the other side would ruin us all if we don’t kill her on sight,” he said, as if any of his words made any sense at all. What kind of enemies would they have? Unless my best friend’s new boyfriend was involved with a fucking mafia, I didn’t think that kind of precaution was necessary.

“What do you mean, strength and forces? What is going on in your family?! Why is shooting a random woman normal to you?” I yelled. In this current conversation, I was the only one yelling. I hated yelling.

“That’s not my story to tell, not until Sandro approves of I—” He was trying to weasel out of the conversation, and I was trying to weasel out of liking the aggressive brute.

“That is a shitty answer, and you know it! You can’t start that kind of conversation and not continue it!”

“We have enemies! We have people who would LOVE to see every single person in my family six feet in the ground! If

  • EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK!    CHAPTER 55 - A MAFIA FAMILY

    BIANCA’S POVMemory loss? What had he done to lead to memory loss?“How did you lose your memory?” I asked, my expression guarded. I wasn’t sure what was going on again, but it was beginning to look like Alessandro wasn’t the man I thought he was.“According to Leo, a building fell on me,” he said casually as if that were something that happened to regular people all the time. Worry permeated me, and I turned to look at him closely, searching for any visible injuries.They were there—small scrapes and cuts on his head and the rest of his body that I hadn’t seen before. They were minute in size but plentiful in number, as though one had moved their phone screen against a rough piece of rock.“When?! How? What happened?” I asked, stopping beside a giant, gorgeous tree with purple and red flowers. We had walked a small distance from the entrance, but I could still see it. This garden truly was ethereal. Almost as ethereal as Alessandro himself. He looked so casual, and we were walking th

  • EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK!    CHAPTER 56 - IT'S CONFIRMED!

    BIANCA’S POVHe seemed pleased that Luca looked like him, but he didn’t say anything to confirm or deny what I had just said.“I feel like I need to shove a paternity test in his face,” I said again. The waters I was trying to test were not moving in my favor yet.“I’ll make a public statement for him to back off our Luca,” Alessandro assured me, moving to remove his phone from his shorts’ pocket. I stopped him. He had lost his memories, and Matteo was a cunning piece of shit. If Alessandro joined the fray as he was right then, he had the chance to be manipulated.“Wait, let’s not go after Matteo until you get back all your memories,” I said, bringing his hands forward. It seemed a little excessive, but I had him swear not to. It wasn’t actually excessive since it was Alessandro—he was as stubborn as a mule.“Do you remember when we had Luca?” I changed the subject with a smile. If my suspicions were correct, then he was my one-night stand five years ago. I had thought Luca was Matteo

  • EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK!    CHAPTER 57 - FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS

    ALESSANDRO’S POVGetting used to being with Bianca was far too easy for me. I responded to her touch and her voice without even thinking about it. And when my body gave me time to think about it, I always held myself back from smiling, wondering how I could have forgotten what led to us being so intimate.It had been a week since Bianca came over to the Villa, and I would be meeting Luca again later in the evening. I had gotten the staff to prepare what Bianca said he liked, and on the whole, life was going pretty well.The only person that seemed as happy as I felt was Giovanni. Frankly, he was getting on my nerves. I supposed he thought he was too grown for Spain, but if he continued, I would find a way to ship him off.According to Bianca, Giovanni and her friend Darren had literally only met once before they decided to get down together. I didn’t know what kind of cruel joke life was trying to play on me, but making my brother so cool that he got his crush the second time he met h

  • EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK!    CHAPTER 58 - MOMMYYYY, I NEED TO DRESS UP

    BIANCA’S POVGetting Luca ready to go out was always such a hassle because he never liked whatever outfit he first put on.“Mommy, I haven’t seen Daddy in a bajillion years! I can’t wear black!” he said snootily, sounding exactly like Darren. I supposed letting him hang around the office when people were bringing new designs for us to implement was my fault. Ever since I fired Maria, I had a lot more time with my baby. But he was a sponge, absorbing all the things around him and coming back to spout them at his mama like an adorable little brat.Fashion week was coming up, and my designers had been working around the clock trying to get this year’s line out. As a general company rule, the line model was always the person with the most perfect body for trying out the outfits and the sharpest mouth for critiquing the flaws before making the ones the actual models would wear.Darren was that person in the main branch. As such, Luca got a front-row seat to Darren at his sassiest. He insul

  • EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK!    CHAPTER 59 - CO-CEOS OF THE MORETTI ENTERPRISE?

    LUCA’S POVMommy had told me that Daddy was sick and couldn’t remember all the times we’d hung out together. I was super worried, but she told me he would get better if we hung out again. She said he was still the same Alessandro, but I knew I couldn’t call him Daddy until he felt better, so I wouldn’t scare him away.I was super nervous about what to wear. Mommy dressed me up most times, and she said I looked cute no matter what I was wearing, even if it was a silly yellow raincoat, so I could not trust Mommy’s opinion.Uncle Darren wasn’t here yet, and I didn’t want to bother him while he was still dressing up. What if that made his fashion disappear? I couldn’t risk it. I really wanted to impress Daddy so he would want to be my Daddy again forever as he promised.Daddy and I used to talk a lot about important business. One time, he asked me if my dinosaurs were different from real evil dinosaurs that ate humans, and I told him no. Later, I thought about it too hard until I became s

  • EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK!    CHAPTER 60 - DEFINING COMPLICATED

    ALESSANDRO’S POV To say I was surprised by the child-like voice coming through my phone was an understatement. I hadn’t even known he had his own phone number, but when the first thing he did was to assure me he wasn’t a dinosaur agent, a part of my heart I didn’t know existed tickled. I couldn’t believe a kid that came from me could be this adorable. Bianca’s genes really came in clutch for Luca. Gio and Leo had paused their needling to put their ears on my phone, prompting me to swat their heads away, but it was to no avail—they were both nosy as hell. “Daddy, what are we co-CEOs of again?” he asked tentatively like he was sad. I didn’t want that tone from someone so cute, and I frankly never expected to be called “Daddy” by anyone in this lifetime. I hadn’t done enough good things to be blessed with such positive karma, but I would make sure I deserved it. Choked with strange emotions, I had to clear my throat before I answered. “Is it the Morretti Enterprise?… Daddy forgot too

  • EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK!    CHAPTER 61 - WE’RE NOT VISITORS — WE’RE FAMILY

    BIANCA’S POVAfter taking several million photos of my adorable fashionista in his outfit, Darren arrived. He wore a white shirt and black trousers with his signature suspenders dangling around his waist. His hair was styled to ultimate perfection, and he had three rings on each finger. He looked ready for a day at an orchard, a walk down the red carpet, and evening tea with the queen all in one. I pitied Giovanni with a small smile; what had he done to deserve the punishment of having someone so good-looking within his reach yet so far away from him?The drive to the villa was filled with Luca talking about his ‘Uncle Gio’. The sneaky little twat had apparently called his father just before I left, and any worries I had that they were going to be awkward, since Alessandro was technically meeting him for the first time due to his memory gaps, dissipated.I could see Darren’s disappointment because Luca couldn’t provide more information than the fact that they were both funny in the sa

  • EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK!    CHAPTER 62 - THE LADY OF THE FAMILY

    ALESSANDRO’S POVIt was funny how holding Luca made my anger subside so quickly. The staff lady was recommended by my eldest brother. He told me she was the daughter of someone important in witness protection. Apparently, they were still in hiding, and their daughter has been working here for three years.They would have to take her along with them when they surfaced. Anyone who had the audacity to talk back to Bianca—anyone at all—would face my wrath. Because of my brother, I would let her leave without scars.Daddy, your flowers are agents,” was the first thing my son said to me. This was the first time I could remember meeting him, but he smelled so familiar—like strawberries and something that reminded me of babies. I hugged him closer and stood up from my crouch.“Who told you their secrets?” I asked with a serious face. He shot a glance at Darren and looked back at me with the air of a man asked to protect the president.Uncle Darren did,’ he said. I held back the urge to bite h

  • 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

    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

    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
