EX-WIFE REVENGE: HE WANTS ME BACK! CHAPTER 91 - A DANGEROUS PROPOSAL: MARRY LARISA?
ALESSANDRO’S POVSilence descended when Lazarro and Giovanni noisily left. I was alone with my big brother now. We had always had a peculiar relationship. He was the man I respected the most in the whole world, yet I still held some sort of resentment for him. Ricardo had always seemed like someone from another world, as though the problems plaguing our hearts were nothing more than pointless drivel to him. He kept to himself when we were children, sometimes making me doubt he was even my brother.I had been a lonely child; our parents had deemed me mature enough to take care of myself at a terribly young age, and Ricardo had paid the family no attention at all, preferring to go through life as though he fell from heaven all alone. If Giovanni had not forced his way into my heart, I might have grown up to be an emotionless shell of a man.We had all grown up in this villa, although Ricardo’s presence was hardly felt. In my old room, under the new layer of paint, there were childish s

ALESSANDRO’S POV“That is the only daughter of our close family friends! How dare you address her like that?” His voice rumbled like distant thunder, the disappointment on his face more apparent now. What did he expect? This was real life, not a cringy romance novel. I wasn’t going to fall in love with a fucking staff member, even if I didn’t have Bianca.“Family friends? I’m the head of my family. I’m not friends with any Dobres,” I cocked my head, daring him to refute. He sighed and shook his head. This was possibly the reason I respected him so much. Anger was always so far from him; it was like he held a tight rein on all his emotions, only showing his cards when he felt the time was right.“No matter. I heard the woman you’re after is a nameless single mother embroiled in a scandal with Matteo Ricci, the child’s father. I had expected that you had better judgment than that,” he said. There was so much to unpack in those statements, and I was certain I would end up in a fistfight

GIOVANNI’S POVI rubbed at my eye lazily, glancing at my brother, whose jaw was opened so wide I feared he had been possessed by a cobra. A superior sense of satisfaction settled over me. He had sworn up and down that I couldn’t tire him out, yet here he was, yawning into a cup of whatever sugary nonsense he had ordered.The setting sun hit my car at the perfect angle to emphasize the light-activated paint job I had customized on it. Lazarro had so far been the only person not to seem outright scared of my driving. In fact, he seemed to encourage close calls with other innocent vehicles on the road, which was mildly disconcerting.“We’re heading home after this, right?” he yawned again, logically wide enough to dislocate his jaw. I smoothed my fingers over the tablecloth. The intricate lace designs moved under my hand like silk.“It’s barely even five-thirty,” I snorted. Mocking him felt great because of how confident he had been. One should not act high and mighty against their older

ALESSANDRO’S POVBy the time the day finally dragged itself toward evening, the heat from my argument with Ricardo still clung to me. I had left him behind at the villa, his words echoing in the back of my mind like a bad taste I couldn’t wash out.The drive back into the city had been long as I realized that Bianca was now exceptionally busy with her company, so I had made several stops instead, buying things for everyone I could immediately think of. Leo had left Italy three days ago with Charlie in tow, and I couldn’t bother them on what seemed to be their…dating honeymoon.Anyway, as it got closer to the time Bianca would be home, I began to drive to her house, the sun dipping lower with each passing minute, casting a warm orange glow across the horizon. As the evening settled in, the streets grew quieter, and with them, my thoughts began to settle too. The sharp tension and dull droning sensation in my head from talking to my brother and the mindless shopping cleared up, and reli

BIANCA’S POVI yawned and stretched in my seat, cracking my fingers to hear the satisfying sound of bones popping. Alessandro always hated it when I did that; he seemed to think it hurt me, but it was really just incredibly gratifying.I pointedly ignored the man who was currently glaring holes into my skull, swiveling my chair so I could stand up and walk to Darren’s office.“Miss Rossi, I’d like to speak to you,” Ethan said, standing up from his emergency seat, which I had made sure to relocate to my office. His staying in here to work had almost hit the two-week mark, and very soon, we would release the lines and show people that I wasn’t to be messed with.“Whatever do you need, Ethan?” I asked with a benevolent smile. I liked to imagine he was Matteo’s placeholder; it made my actions a lot more satisfying. I couldn’t wait for when I’d be able to toss the rat out of my company for good.Human nature was so terrifying. Ethan had been one of my first employees, alongside Darren. I r

BIANCA’S POV“Excuse me, miss? You walked into me,” Ethan said, his voice deceptively gentle. I could see the annoyance in the way he pressed his lips together and tapped his fingers rapidly against his now-folded arms.“And you couldn’t avoid it?” I raised an eyebrow. My actions seemed counterproductive, but this was the best chance I had for implementing Darren’s plans. I could see Ethan formulating a response in his mind; perhaps his hatred for me had grown again.“We—”“Don’t get mad at me,” I interrupted, sighing softly. I made sure to round my shoulders and rub my eyebrows, looking like someone the whole world was against. “I’ve just been so stressed lately; it wasn’t your fault.” I huffed out a laugh and rubbed my neck.Ethan’s face went blank. I hated when he did that; I could never tell what he was thinking that way. I was someone who relied strongly on facial cues to read the mood, so Ethan’s blank face made me want to punch it.“I accept your apology,” he nodded tightly and

BIANCA’S POV Darren was cursing under his breath, stumbling to keep up with me as the elevator ascended. “I can’t believe you’re making me chase a traitor in this,” he muttered, tugging at the itchy collar of the blazer. I didn’t respond; I had no kind words toward the outfit, so I couldn’t even assure him that he looked wonderful. His perfect body proportions were the only thing that prevented him from looking too horrendous. The elevator opened, and Darren and I immediately walked over to the door of my office. Right as I was about to barge in and open the door, Darren held my hand with one of his and shushed me with the other. “Let’s listen first,” he mouthed, placing his ear on the door. I followed suit, but I didn’t hear anything. What exactly had I expected? My office had always been soundproof. Darren seemed to remember that and whipped out his phone and AirPods, scrolling until he clicked on a grey app. He scrolled through it, clicking things in rapid succession. Just whe

BIANCA'S POVEthan didn’t report the altered designs to me before the day ended, or perhaps he did and I wasn’t available to receive them. I was too busy using an entire bottle of hand sanitizer and rushing home to take a scalding hot shower to get rid of the feeling.I didn’t even want to think about it at all. It was dinner night with Alessandro, Giovanni, Darren, Luca, and Lazarro. Lazarro and I had been introduced not too long ago, and being around him made me feel like Luca had aged up five years in a second. I involuntarily fell into the motherly big sister vibe.It had all the potential to be an enjoyable evening. The restaurant we’d chosen was small and intimate, with warm lighting that made everything seem just a little more pleasant.Alessandro sat across from me, squinting at me with a look in his eyes—because my errant leg was trailing up his feet under the table. Giovanni was entertaining Luca with terrible dad jokes, and Lazarro and Luca—who had caught on like a house on

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
