BIANCA’S POV

As 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

  • EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK!    CHAPTER 81 - EVERY NERVE ENDING LOVES HIM

    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

    GIOVANNI’S POVLike an active metronome, my head swiveled frantically between the direction he was walking from and the phones on the desk, willing him to slow down. Just as his footsteps began to come too close for comfort, the decryption was done. I slinked into the shadows again with my phone, a celebration party going on in full swing in my mind. I couldn’t wait to examine what I had found.The man sat in his seat and turned on his desktop. I decided to wait a little longer; he could still do something potentially more incriminating. Staying turned out to be a mistake that would scar me for quite some time.His phone rang again, and he picked it up, his other hand moving a mouse quickly, clicking like he wanted to power up a nuclear reactor. It was a feminine voice again, and it was similar enough to the previous voice that it was safe to assume it was Toria once more.I leaned in closer, trying to see him better. Unfortunately for me, he turned off the weak little light—one that

  • EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK!    Closure—Exactly Where I Wanted to Be!

    CHARLIE’S POV The night was warm and settled, the kind where the air felt thick with familiarity, conversations overlapping without urgency. I was curled up on a couch next to Leo, legs folded beneath me, lazily bantering with Bianca while Giovanni tossed in stray comments from across the room. Darren was beside him, elegant as ever, Bianca’s top-class part-time model himself, scrolling through his phone. I used to be so stupid. I thought I had it all figured out, I thought I was clever, and thought I was above it all. It turned out to be that I was just an idiot making my own life harder. But hey, people learn. Some just take longer than others. I almost took too long. “Face it, you just hate losing,” I said, dragging out the words as I leaned into Bianca’s space, taking the last one of her players with joy, effectively winning our impromptu game. She scoffed. “I hate cheating.” “I don’t cheat,” I said, deeply offended at the audacity. Leo chuckled, his head tipped

    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

  • 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
