BIANCA'S POV

The 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.

    BIANCA’S POVThe drive to Viale was far calmer than I expected. Maybe it was because I knew Alessandro had made sure I was covered from every angle. The military guild members were already at the coffee shop and surrounding the street, hidden in plain sight. If anything went wrong, Alessandro was just a click away on the ring-like communicator. He'd been extremely adamant about that.I parked across the street from the coffee shop, scanning the area. It was quieter than I thought it would be, but that was possible because people tended not to drink coffee at night. There was a nightclub three minutes from the location, so most of the people moving about were milling into the club.I sighed. I was supposed to be enjoying quality mother-son time with Luca right then, but instead, I had to meet up with shady people to save my company. The text had been vague and ominous, completely contrasting the vibe of the coffee shop that was painted a relaxing cream color, giving it peaceful ambient

    TORIA'S POVThe sight of Bianca flustered and touching that ridiculous ring like it was some sort of safety blanket, filled me with a smug satisfaction I hadn’t felt in a long time. She’d come in so sure of herself and continued bantering with me like she had the upper hand. But the truth was, I had her exactly where I wanted her.Bianca’s face was the perfect picture of forced calm as she looked at me, her fingers still brushing over that ridiculous ring. I watched as her bravado crumbled, piece by piece. Her confidence, that irritating little smirk, was all fading now, leaving nothing but raw fear. It was intoxicating.I allowed a small, satisfied smile to curl my lips as I leaned back in my seat. She had banked on the people she told bailing her out, but if my men were too strong, what use were her puny useless friends? There was no one who could swoop in and rescue her. The power was mine, as it was meant to be.“I’m going to give you one more chance, Bianca,” I said, my voice ooz

    BIANCA’S POVAs I stepped out into the fresh air, I finally let out a breath of relief. I hadn’t known the guild members had replaced Toria’s men without her knowing; all that kept me calm in that room was the unrelenting faith that Alessandro wouldn’t fail.Giovanni stepped out of the coffee shop and came up behind me, no doubt coming to gloat about how awesome his acting was. His acting was too awesome for my liking; that gun had been right behind my head. I had been utterly terrified.I turned around and glared at Giovanni, arms crossed, eyes narrowed in irritation. He had removed the mask covering his face and now grinned down at me like a mischievous puppy, his face entirely too relaxed for someone who had just put a gun to my head again.“For the love of God, Giovanni,” I scolded, delivering a light smack to his shoulder. “You have to stop doing that.”Giovanni let out a dramatic sigh, rubbing the spot where my hand had connected with his body. “Doing what, sister-in-law?

    BIANCA’S POVThe bouncers didn’t ask for our IDs, but they did bow—I'm sure they knew who we were, especially Gio. I mean, it’s easy to recognize Gio as a Moretti. From the outside, the club looked just okay, but inside, it was buzzing with energy. No wonder people had been flocking there since 8 p.m.The air was thick with the scent of perfume and sweat. It was strangely bearable because it was wide enough that I didn’t have to smell everyone dancing within a three-foot radius. Neon lights were flashing in sync with the heavy bassline thumping from massive speakers, temporarily dyeing the crowd in shades of blue, violet, and red.This was the first club I had been to that didn’t serve alcohol at the bar. They had what looked like soda, and that was all. No wonder the crowd was bearable; it was probably an all-ages club, or the owner simply wanted his club to be a place for people dancing high on sugar instead of alcohol.There was laughter and shouting, and as the beat of whatever so

    BIANCA’S POVGiovanni turned around before me, and the only other time I had seen his face so cold was when I first met him. He held my arm just as I was about to follow, as if telling me it wasn’t someone I needed to acknowledge—like I didn’t already know that.“You’ve moved on from my man, and now you’re leeching on his little brother?” Sophia’s voice was filled with mockery. I cursed the patience and peace in my bloodstream that prevented me from smashing her head into the glass window beside me. I could already picture the scene vividly in my head.She dared to target my precious little darling and stand in front of me. I couldn’t get over it no matter how hard I tried. What would I have done if Alessandro’s men hadn’t been there to save my baby all those times she sent men after him? I could have lost my baby. That thought always recurred every time I even thought about her.“She’s not worth your time, G—”“If my name fully drops from that swamp-hole you call a mouth, I will muti

    GIOVANNI’S POV I hated the waiting period of an ambush. Bianca was, yet again, meeting someone ominous, and my brother had decided to make me head the mission because of how good a job I did the last time. Thankfully, it had been a false alarm, and Bianca and I ended up sitting outside a fancy-looking café that overlooked the gorgeous view of Lake Garda. Bianca was silent, with a small smile on her face, like she was enjoying the view and everything life had to offer. I wondered when I would get that kind of look on my face too. I always knew I’d enjoy hanging out with Bianca. She was basically my brother, with fewer death threats and a better eye for fashion. Not to say there was anything wrong with Alessandro’s style, but he just couldn’t compare to someone who actively owned an entire fashion brand. The clothes she bought were easy to wash and comfortable to put on, just as I liked them. They were also dark-toned, and I gladly chalked that up to her slight color blindness. I h

    GIOVANNI’S POVFor some reason, Bianca had stopped letting me drive, so I had to sit in the passenger seat and glare outside the window when all I actually wanted was to do something with my hands. I hated having nothing to do.“I saw your biggest fan yesterday,” Bianca said, snapping me out of my restlessness. Biggest fan? Who could that be? I had a lot of fans—people enjoyed my travel blogs, and I was a Moretti; things like that tended to happen—but I didn’t know how Bianca judged them well enough to determine that one was the biggest. Well, except Luca. He was the only one I’d believe to be my biggest fan.“Who? And how do you know they’re my biggest fan? I have millions,” I subtly bragged. Bianca made a face at me before answering, her eyes steadfast on the road. I always wondered why people treated driving like a serious job. To me, driving was like walking—it should be casual and relaxing, without the need to monitor the road so much.Everyone I’d ever driven with complained abo

    GIOVANNI’S POVWhat Bianca needed to do, unfortunately, involved Darren, and they both strolled into her office, talking about something I obviously didn’t understand. Business etiquette demanded that I shouldn’t enter along with them.“Toss me your employee card, Darren,” I said, making grabby hands. He looked at me in confusion, and I rolled my eyes, walking toward him to remove it myself.“Hey, wait, what do you need my card for?” he asked, guarding it like it was a million-dollar check.“I want to explore, and they’d think I’m a customer if I don’t use your card,” I replied, still trying to pry it out of his tightly closed hands. Bianca smiled mischievously, and I became slightly worried.“If you let him take it from you, you can forget your Christmas bonus,” she said, folding her arms and grinning. I glared at her. What kind of sister-in-law did this to her beloved brother?“If you touch my bonus, I’ll smother you in your sleep,” Darren shot back, stepping away with his hands wou

    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

    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
