BIANCA'S POV

The next day arrived with a heavy sense of dread. I was in my personal space, which was different from my atelier and my office where Darren, my assistant and best friend, worked. I didn’t want Darren to see Matteo because they would surely have a brawl if they crossed paths.

I was unable to get rid of the unease I felt while I waited for Matteo’s arrival. I was curious. Why did he suddenly want to speak with me? Why did he sound so... unusual?

The silence in the room was broken by the sound of the doorbell. I paused for a moment, feeling my heart race, before walking downstairs to open the door. Taking a deep breath, I faced Matteo, who stood there with a piercing gaze as he looked at me.

"Bianca," he said in a low, husky tone. "Can I come in?"

I moved to the side so he could come in, his aura taking up the space in the room. As we settled into the living room, I couldn't ignore the tension that hung in the air.

"Matteo, what is the matter?" I inquired, trying to b

    BIANCA'S POV"Hello?" I called out as I arrived at the location. "Anyone here?" My voice echoed in the silence, and I felt a sense of trepidation.I hadn’t slept a wink after finding that note. I knew it was risky to go there, especially without informing anyone, but I knew it wasn’t meant to harm me. Still, my instincts were on high alert.Suddenly, a figure emerged from the darkness. To my surprise, it was a woman—I had expected a man."Who are you?" I asked, furrowing my brows. "And how did you manage to slip me the note without me noticing?"I spoke impatiently, and she chuckled."It appears he hasn't told you about me. Well, the note wasn't that big of a deal; I just paid a waitress a tip to slip it under your napkin," she smirked. "My name is Sophia, by the way—Alessandro's ex-girlfriend."My heart raced, thoughts jumping into my mind at the new revelation. Alessandro had never mentioned his ex.Sophia moved closer to me, her eyes filled with possessiveness. "And I assume you're

    BIANCA'S POV The remainder of the day went by in a haze. I couldn't stop thinking about Alessandro and Sophia's foreboding caution. I felt trapped in some sort of mind cage. My mind raced with countless questions, making it difficult for me to sleep. What if Sophia was right? What if Alessandro wasn’t the man I thought he was? Amid my thoughts, my phone vibrated to alert me of a new message. Alessandro. "Bianca, we need to talk," the text read. I paused, my fingers lingering above the screen. I felt the urge to challenge him, to seek explanations. But a part of me was scared of what I might discover. I finally chose not to reply. I still couldn't. ____________ The following day, I reached the office feeling unsure and with a heavy heart. Darren picked up on my gloomy demeanor and came towards me. "Hey, what's the matter?" he inquired, worry evident on his face. I let out a sigh, feeling uncertain about where to start. "I’m not sure, Darren. I feel like I’m trapped in a ba

    BIANCA'S POVI took a deep breath, trying to make sense of everything. The seriousness of my decision was clear and inescapable."Alessandro, may I ask you something?" I finally managed, my voice barely above a whisper."Sure thing, Bianca. What is that?" he asked, not breaking eye contact with me.He then took my hands, and we both entered my living room properly, having been standing at the door.As we sat down on the cushion, I hesitated for a while before asking him what I wanted to ask because it was about Sophia.I wondered if he would get angry if I mentioned her name, but I had no choice other than to ask because I couldn't keep this to myself.I took a deep breath before speaking."I'm curious about Sophia," I admitted. "What's going on between the two of you?" I spoke quickly, nervous about his reaction.He looked at me, surprised. "How did you know about her?" he asked impatiently."That doesn't matter. Just answer me if you want there to be an us," I replied, trapping him

    BIANCA'S POVMorning dawned upon the city. It was another day, and I was still shocked by the abrupt end of my conversation with Alessandro when I heard the front door open. I grinned, happy that my son Luca had returned home at last. When Maria, his nanny, came in with him, my heart filled with love at the sight of my little boy’s radiant smile."Mama!" Luca ran towards me with open arms, exclaiming.I wrapped my arms around him tightly, taking in the delightful smell of his hair. "I missed you, my little man!" I mentioned, spinning him in circles.Maria grinned and placed Luca's backpack on the ground. "He had a wonderful time on his school trip to the science museum, but he's been constantly talking about you ever since we got back."Luca squirmed away from my embrace and gazed up at me with a curious expression. "Mama, I saw Alessandro on our way back," he said, his voice brimming with enthusiasm.I felt my heart skip a beat. "Really? What did you say to him?" I asked, attempting

But beneath my smile, a feeling of jealousy started to surface. Why did Luca bond with Alessandro so easily? Why did it seem like he adored him more than he adored me?As I was lost in thought, Alessandro suddenly looked at me, his eyes connecting with mine. We held each other's gaze for a moment, with only Luca's cheerful giggles filling the room. Alessandro grinned, causing my heart to skip a beat."Hey," he called out while approaching with Luca in his arms. "I trust I'm not disturbing you.”I nodded, feeling slightly confused. "No, absolutely not. We were actually just talking about you." I gave a faint smile.Alessandro's eyebrows lifted. "Is that so? What did you both say?"Luca, still holding onto Alessandro's neck, chimed in. "Mommy said you're a kind person. I like you!”Alessandro laughed, the corners of his ey

    BIANCA'S POV I stood before the mirror, adjusting my dress for what seemed like the hundredth time. The gala event report had been sent in by Darren, while Alessandro was the one orchestrating it all. I approached the door, expecting it to be either my driver or perhaps Darren, having heard the car horn outside. However, to my surprise, it was Alessandro. In his black tuxedo, he looked charming with his sparkling eyes. "You look stunning." His eyes wandered over my body and darkened slightly. I blushed, feeling my heart quicken. "Alessandro, why are you here? I thought you'd be at the gala by now.” "And not go with you? Impossible." I arched my eyebrow. Alessandro's intense gaze met mine, locking our eyes together. "Please give me a chance, Bianca. Only a single night. "If you still doubt me by the end of tonight, I'll give you space." I paused, feeling uncertain about my next steps. There was something in Alessandro's words that struck a chord with me. It could have be

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
