EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 78 - SISTER-IN-LAW SHENANIGANS
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? Saving

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

GIOVANNI’S POV"Giovanni, I absolutely need your help!""What is it? What's up?" I asked, my tone filled with worry. Did someone from the Crimson Hand come back for revenge? Was my brother alright? Countless scenarios ran wild in my head, and I stood rooted to the spot, bracing for his words to be my order for operation."I want to take Charlie around the world for a bit. What are the most romantic spots you know?" he asked. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. If he had been in front of me, I would have strangled him for using such a serious tone over something so trivial."Hello? Giovanni, are you there?" he asked again. I was this close to hanging up and blocking his number."You made me worry for no reason, you absolute dumbass!" I whisper-yelled.Fortunately for him, he seemed chagrined, so I could at least consider forgiving him in this lifetime.“I’m sorry. So, any idea for the most romantic spots?” he asked again, like a stubborn monkey. I supposed he wasn’t aware of just

GIOVANNI’S POVI trailed the man with measured steps, keeping a healthy distance while still ensuring I wouldn’t lose him. He moved with a certain odd confidence, radiating an aura that should be reserved for the owner of the building herself.He stopped at a sleek black door that led to one of the private offices. The building was huge and full of mysteries, and who was I to resist investigating things that weren’t my business? I watched from a shadowed corner as he swiped his card to unlock it. His card was surprisingly also gold-plated.This meant he was on the same level as Darren, as no other person I had seen so far had a gold-plated card. The woman from earlier had probably automatically assumed I was Darren when she saw my gold plate because I was a bit too short to be mistaken for the man’s height. How important. It was interesting that there was someone as valuable to Bianca as Darren was, yet I hadn’t seen or heard about him since I’d been sitting through their random serio

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
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 147 – TONIGHT, THE GAME WAS FAR FROM OVER!
LUMARI’S POVI leaned in slightly toward Samuel, keeping my voice casual. “I’m going to have a word with my sister-in-law,” I murmured, referring to Larisa.I didn’t wait for his response, knowing he’d be fine with whatever I chose to do. I turned toward the four people—Ricardo, his new companion, Larisa, and Alessandro—and made my way over, every step calculated to project confidence.As I approached, Larisa’s eyes immediately locked onto me, a flicker of something unreadable passing through her gaze. She was always so composed, so perfect, the princess of the Dobre family. She had the bloodline, the power. There was no sarcasm here, no sharp words from me. No, tonight, I needed to tread carefully.“Lumari,” she greeted, her smile bright and almost affectionate. “How wonderful to see you. I’m so glad you could join us tonight.”I returned her smile, though it felt a little strained. “Of course, Larisa. How could I miss it? It’s such an important night for the family.”We exchanged pl
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 146 – TONIGHT, I WAS HIS, AND I WOULD LET EVERYONE KNOW IT!
LUMARI’S POVThe grand ballroom of the Dobre quarterly gala shimmered with the quiet elegance that only the highest branches of society could orchestrate. Chandeliers hung like jewels in the night, their soft light spilling over the polished floors, the delicate lace of crystal illuminating every corner of the room.The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfumes, finely aged wine, and the muted hum of polite conversation between rich people.I stood at the entrance, making sure my presence was nothing short of commanding. I wasn’t just attending this time; I was the event, the brand new wife of the Dobres that would be showcased.The crowd seemed to part as I moved through it, their eyes drawn to me like moths to a flame. My emerald silk dress clung to my curves, cascading to the floor in an elegant pool behind me. The color was chosen not only for its beauty but for the power it projected. Samuel had made sure to choose it for me himself.A life with Ricardo could have never

THIRD PERSON’S POVThe tension in the room was palpable as Ricardo took his place at the helm of the dining table, his calm yet commanding presence silencing even Giovanni’s sarcastic mutterings. Linda leaned back in her chair, watching with barely contained amusement as the group settled into something resembling order.They were at his villa, only because most of the sensitive plans were in his study and would be dangerous to transport from place to place so casually.Bianca had immediately felt at home, claiming the color scheme made her calm. Ricardo suspected that all was not normal with Bianca. She was looking a bit more round than she did last week, and she was as sporadic as she was moody, but what did he know? He only had sharp eyes; he couldn’t really interpret what it meant.His voice, low and steady, cut through the room. “I have already started dismantling the Dobres’ foundation. Their partners are suffocating under the pressure I’ve applied—financial audits, legal threat
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 144 - YOU THINK I DO THIS OFTEN?
THIRD PERSON POVRicardo’s breath was ragged as he carried her from the wall to the bed. Her legs wrapped tighter around his waist, her hands threading into his hair as their lips clashed again—fiery and insistent.“Was this…” she managed to gasp, her voice a mix of amusement and desire. “The grand tour you had in mind?”Ricardo growled low in his throat, the sound vibrating against her lips as he lowered her onto the bed with a control that belied the hunger in his eyes. He loomed over her, his weight pinning her, his lips moving to her neck.“Keep talking, Linda,” he rasped, his voice dark, rough, and tantalizingly close to a threat. “Let’s see how long you keep that sharp tongue of yours.”Her soft laugh turned into a breathless sigh as his hands roamed her body, his touch firm and possessive. He pulled her closer, his fingers tracing the curve of her waist—like he needed to feel every inch of her.“I’m not scared of you, Moretti,” she whispered, her hands tugging at his shirt, exp
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 143 - HOW FORWARD OF YOU, MR. MORETTI
THIRD PERSON POVBianca leaned against the kitchen counter, her fingers nervously tracing the rim of her coffee cup. The late evening light cast a warm glow across the room, but her mind was elsewhere, on the entirely self-inflicted predicament she’d thrown Linda into.“Do you think I made a mistake?” she asked, glancing over at Alessandro, who was sitting at the kitchen table, meticulously slicing a pear for Luca, who was arguing with Lazarro about how ‘rocking’ green bikes were compared to blue. A perfectly lovely day, save for the fact that she had pushed her best friend into going on a fake date, twice.He raised an eyebrow, not looking up from his task. “Depends. What mistake are we talking about today?”Bianca huffed. “You know. Pushing Linda into those dates with Ricardo. She barely agreed to it, and he’s…” She gestured vaguely as if the act of describing Ricardo required divine assistance. “He’s Ricardo. What if I shoved her into a lion’s den? What if he devours her?”Alessand
EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 142 - BECAUSE I’D BE HERE EVEN IF YOU HADN’T ASKED
THIRD PERSON’S POVRicardo was annoyed, but he was used to dealing with situations like these. This was Claire Davenport, the woman who had reportedly sent the members of Livodi after Linda. He had asked Edward, one of his informants, to make sure that she wouldn’t be able to harm Linda or anyone associated with her anymore. How had he not realized that it meant Claire should disappear?“At least I’m not dating a gigolo!” Claire exclaimed, angry and embarrassed. She had purposely gone to seduce Kalam, the mob boss of Livodi, just so she could have the upper hand over Linda for once and end their rivalry with finality. He was ugly and rough, but she would do anything to own the kind of power Livodi had. Kalam had assured her that he would take care of Linda for her, so why was she still alive and going on a date with someone so handsome?“Gigolo? Your informants need to get another job. They’re terrible at the one they currently have,” Linda sneered, turning to face Claire fully. Befor
