EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 68 - I REALLY DO MISS YOU A LOT
BIANCA’S POV I paced the length of my office, the distant sound of typing echoing faintly through the door. Darren had left just moments ago to handle his end of the crisis, but the weight of everything still sat heavy on my chest. Public opinion was eating us alive, and now false theft accusations had joined the mix to concoct something so completely exhausting for me. I pulled out my phone and scrolled down my call list, hesitating for only a second before tapping Alessandro’s name. I needed the comfort of hearing his voice—just something to tether me before I lost it entirely. Sadness gripped my heart when I remembered he might be too busy to pick up the phone, but I batted my feelings away and called him anyway. The phone rang twice before his deep voice picked up. “Bianca?”“I just needed to hear your voice,” I said softly, my words tumbling out in a rush, and some semblance of calmness washing over me. There was a beat of silence, then a soft sigh from his end. “I’m coming

BIANCA'S POVWhen Darren brought in two pizzas and left to wherever he liked to go for lunch, I nearly cried. I had been subconsciously craving something inelegant for so long but had been too worried to think about it. Pizza was warm, greasy, and familiar—the most simple food to provide immediate comfort.“I hope your plan works, my love,” Alessandro muttered, removing everything from his face so I could clearly see my gorgeous boyfriend. It took a bit of effort to wrangle the little super spy out of his own suspicious face mask and sunglasses, but any protest was quieted down with a small slice of pizza shoved into his mouth. “You’re sure you want to handle it on your own?” he asked in concern, picking his own slice and eating it with an air of royalty.“I’m sure,” I said firmly, reclining in my chair and rolling it beside Alessandro. He turned his own chair to face me, and Luca came to sit between us, not wanting to be left out.“Why are you eating part of my slices, Daddy?” Luca a

LUCA’S POVI woke up upside down again. My head was hanging off the bed, and my feet were all tangled up in the blanket. It was kinda fun like I was pretending to be a bat. The dinosaur stickers on my wall were glowing, especially the T-Rex. I was staring at it, wondering if T-Rexes slept upside down too when I heard Mommy call from the other room.“Luca, time to get up, darling!”I wriggled out of the blankets and sat up quickly. I had to act fast, like a secret spy. Spies didn’t let anybody know when they were tangled in blankets. I scrambled to my feet just as Momma came into the room.She smiled at me, that secret smile she always had, like she knew everything. “Were you practicing your spy moves upside down again, Luca?” she asked. I let out a sigh of relief; she didn’t know I had just woken up.I crossed my arms, trying to copy Uncle Darren’s cool look. “Nope. I wasn’t upside down at all. Spies don’t need to be upside down.”She laughed softly and sat down on the bed, fixing my

CHARLIE’S POVLeo’s attempts to win me back were nothing short of a comedy show. He’d tried everything under the sun to get me to talk to him, and each new attempt was more ridiculous than the last.Frankly, it was the most attention anyone had ever paid to me, and I was reveling in it. I didn’t know why I didn’t want to see him. Bianca had told me what led to their disappearance, and she and Alessandro seemed strong together, so really I had no reason to continue torturing him.But still, I did. I had suffered a surprising lack of attention and care from Alex, and I had to make sure Leo would never start treating me like that. So, of course, I had to pretend I was still mad at him. I hadn’t expected to take it too far, but I couldn’t complain.The ridiculous attempts started after the second week when I let him in but refused to talk to him. He was such a gentleman; he didn’t force me to talk to him or touch me without my permission.What he did, however, was send me a giant teddy be
Last Updated : 2024-09-23EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 72 - TORIA, YOU’RE USELESS!
MATTEO’S POV It seemed I had not pressed Bianca hard enough because Alessandro had not only rejected Ricci Corp but had also released public information stating that the Morettis would have no business with the Riccis. This was already making our partners antsy. Some weaklings had pulled away, terrified to be tied to a company that had been informally blacklisted by the oldest and most respected conglomerate in the industry. My extended family members were beginning to get anxious too, but they didn’t dare voice their concerns, not when I was the one providing for their families. I wasn’t discouraged at all. If Alessandro was truly still in support of Bianca, he would have blacklisted us long ago. I knew Bianca was still begging him to pull some strings so she could keep Luca away from me, but I wouldn’t let her. I had gathered photos of Luca looking forlorn during my official wedding to Toria, possibly devastated that his selfish mother wouldn’t let him talk to his father. Every

TORIA’S POVI stared at the luxury catalog in my lap, pretending to care about the beachfront villas while feeling the slow burn of anger rising in my chest. Matteo had no idea what he was talking about—none. The fool was blaming me now for all his problems as if he hadn’t been begging to get out of that lifeless marriage with Bianca when we first met.She had been the perfect little wife, always playing her part, and never causing trouble. But that was all she was doing—playing. There was nothing interesting about her. She was too quiet, too harmless.She wasn’t good enough for Matteo, not for the life he needed to lead. She couldn’t even give him a child, for God’s sake. And yet here he was, talking about her like she was some goddess, while I was stuck dealing with his moody outbursts, raising his children, and maintaining the image of perfection that Bianca never could.I had usurped Bianca. I’d taken her place because I deserved it. Matteo had been a fool to stay with her for as

BIANCA’S POVThe mole still hadn’t been traced, and life was gradually becoming more unbearable. People had begun advocating for the accused recent startup, trying to boycott my entire brand.I would have cursed Matteo, but this didn’t seem like something he would do. He never liked to cut corners, especially not when money was involved. I knew he expected me to come back to him when the pressure got too much for me to bear—and that was what I wanted him to believe—so he would never ruin something that could make him more money if I got back with him.One of the only silver linings I had was the fact that my PR managers and social media handlers—the seven from the crisis management team who had barged in and seen Alessandro with Luca—were acting very differently these days. After they saw Alessandro and Luca together in my office, something in them changed.Before, they just tried their hardest to ignore all the negative comments flooding our page because, to the best of their knowle
Last Updated : 2024-09-30EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 75 - LUCA CAN SURPRISE US HERE
BIANCA'S POVThe drive home was anything but peaceful; nothing had been these days. I constantly hated myself for ever coming into contact with that Ricci bastard or for attending his wedding. It was such a stupid decision. Why had I even gone?I could have continued to live peacefully with Luca, without Matteo even remembering me at all. But now, not only was he actively pursuing me, but he was doing it in a way that would have made me cave if I had been a lesser woman—without Alessandro’s comforting presence to support me.When I got in, Alessandro was surprisingly in an apron, as well as Luca. Apparently, they wanted to cook for Mommy. I didn’t even know Alessandro could cook. With a laugh, I shed off my coat and my worries, letting my boys take care of me.Luca dragged a stool beside my legs and ordered me to lift them. I obliged, and he gingerly placed my legs on it. Alessandro held my head back and massaged my temples. I sank into the couch, too tired to even take a shower.“How

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

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
