Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( Arrival in Switzerland)
Luca’s POVThe flight to Geneva is silent, but the tension sits thick in the air.Matteo sleeps in Sienna’s lap, his small body curled against her as if the warmth of her arms is the only thing keeping him tethered to this world. His breathing is soft but shallow, his tiny chest rising and falling with effort. Alessandro sits beside me, unusually quiet, his little hand wrapped in mine like he’s afraid to let go. Normally, he’d be bouncing in his seat, asking a thousand questions about the plane, the country, the new place we were going to—but not today.Today, the weight of the unknown is pressing down on all of us.Sienna hasn’t spoken in hours. She just keeps running her fingers through Matteo’s curls, her gaze distant, lost in thoughts I can’t reach. I know she’s terrified. So am I.But we don’t have the luxury of falling apart. Not yet.I squeeze her knee gently. “We’re almost there.”She nods without looking at me.The moment the wheels touch the runway, my chest tightens.We’re

Sienna’s POVDr. Laurent Moreau’s words echo in my head long after he leaves the room.“We have a plan.”It should be reassuring. It should feel like the lifeline I’ve been desperately waiting for.But hope is a dangerous thing.It lifts you up just to drop you from even greater heights.I glance at Matteo, his small body curled up in the hospital bed, his chest rising and falling with that same fragile rhythm that haunts me in my sleep. The beeping of the machines monitoring him is steady, but it feels like a countdown—each beep ticking away at the time we have to save him.Luca is quiet beside me, his fingers laced with mine, his grip firm but gentle. He hasn’t spoken much since we got here, but I can feel his tension through our joined hands.He’s terrified.Just like I am.Dr. Moreau returns an hour later with a team of doctors trailing behind him, each one carrying stacks of files, tablets, and research papers.“We’re going to run a few more tests,” he explains, flipping through

Luca’s POVHope is a double-edged sword.It can keep you going, or it can destroy you when it’s ripped away.Right now, I don’t know which side we’re standing on.Dr. Moreau’s words replay in my mind on a loop.“We have a plan.”But I know better than to trust just words. I need results. I need proof that my son will be okay. Until then, I can’t afford to breathe easy.Sienna hasn’t let go of Matteo’s hand since we got the news. Her fingers are constantly tracing soft circles on his palm, as if grounding herself to him. She barely slept last night, her body curled up in the chair next to his bed, her face pale and drawn.I want to tell her to rest, to let me take over.But I know she won’t.Neither of us can step away—not when every second feels like it’s slipping through our fingers.Dr. Moreau stands before us, his team gathered around a large screen displaying Matteo’s scans.“The treatment we’re proposing is aggressive,” he says. “But we believe it’s his best chance.”Aggressive.

Sienna’s POVRelief is a fragile thing.It rushes in like a wave, filling every crevice of your being—only to recede the moment you remember that the fight isn’t over yet.Dr. Moreau’s words—“The treatment is working.”—had lifted something off my chest, something so heavy I hadn’t even realized how much it was crushing me.But Matteo is still so small, so weak, his body struggling under the strain of the aggressive treatment. His skin is paler than I’ve ever seen it, his once-lively hazel eyes dull with exhaustion.Every time he stirs, every time he shifts in discomfort, I feel the urge to do something, anything, to make it better. But all I can do is hold his tiny hand in mine, whispering soft reassurances as if my words alone can heal him.I want to believe they can.I need to believe they can.The hospital room has become our entire world.I barely remember what fresh air feels like.I don’t know what day it is anymore, what time it is—everything blends into a never-ending cycle of

Luca’s POVI never thought I’d hate the sound of a beeping monitor more than I do now.Each beep is a reminder that my son is here, hooked up to machines, his little body fighting a battle I can’t win for him.Matteo is sleeping, his tiny chest rising and falling with slow, shallow breaths. His face is pale, the shadows under his eyes darker than before.I run a hand through my hair, gripping the strands tightly. The helplessness is suffocating.I’ve fought battles, faced enemies who wanted to kill me, but nothing—nothing—compares to this.I can’t fight this.I can’t punch it, threaten it, or make it disappear.All I can do is sit here, watch, and pray that my son keeps fighting.Dr. Moreau stops by in the morning.Sienna stirs awake next to me, her fingers immediately reaching for Matteo’s.I watch her—how she brushes his curls away from his forehead, how she whispers to him even though he can’t respond. She hasn’t left his side for more than an hour or two, and even then, it takes e

The rhythmic beeping of the monitors had become the soundtrack of my life. I knew every pause, every hitch, every shift in Matteo’s breathing before the machines registered it. I was attuned to it, because this was my son. And I was losing my mind waiting for him to come back to me.I ran a hand through my hair, gripping it at the roots before exhaling through my nose. “Come on, buddy,” I whispered. “You’ve always been a fighter. Give me something, anything.”Sienna sat across from me, curled in the chair beside Matteo’s bed. She was holding his tiny hand, her thumb moving in slow, soothing strokes. Her face was pale, exhaustion pulling at her features, but she didn’t let go. Not once.“You need to rest,” I told her softly.She shook her head without looking at me. “Not until he wakes up.”I swallowed, shifting my chair closer to the bed. My fingers brushed Matteo’s leg through the hospital blanket, willing him to feel my touch.A week. Seven days since he had last spoken. Since he ha

For seven days, I had memorized the way Matteo’s chest rose and fell, the way the machines beeped at a steady rhythm, the way his tiny fingers stayed curled motionless on the hospital bed. I had memorized every painful detail of my son lying still, unmoving, silent.But now?Now, I was holding his hand, and for the first time in a week, he had moved. He had squeezed my fingers.The weight that had been pressing on my chest lifted just a little, allowing me to breathe. My heart pounded so loudly I could hear it in my ears, but I didn’t let go. I didn’t dare.Luca had called for the nurse, and now she was gone, alerting Dr. Laurent. I knew things wouldn’t magically get better overnight, but this? This was something.“Baby,” I whispered, leaning closer to Matteo, my free hand brushing his dark curls back. “Mommy’s here.”His fingers twitched again. Not a full squeeze this time, but the movement was there.I swallowed hard, my throat raw from the hours—no, days—of crying, begging, and whi

(Sienna’s POV)The hospital doors slid open, ushering in a crisp breeze that smelled like rain-soaked pavement. It was the scent of freedom, of normalcy, of the life we had fought so hard to return to. After what felt like an eternity inside these sterile white walls, we were finally walking out as a family again.Luca held Matteo in his arms, pressing a soft kiss to our son’s temple. Matteo had always been a light sleeper, but today, exhaustion had won, and he rested against his father’s chest, his small fingers curled into the fabric of Luca’s hoodie. Alessandro clutched my hand tightly, his grip firm as if he were afraid someone would try to pull us back inside. He had been so strong through all of this, stronger than any five-year-old should ever have to be.Outside, Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Moreau stood near the entrance, watching us go.“Remember,” Dr. Moreau said, adjusting the glasses perched on his nose, “his immune system is still delicate.

Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( A New Legacy)
(Sienna’s POV)The house was alive with laughter, the scent of fresh flowers and warm food mingling in the air as the guests arrived one after another. It felt surreal—this moment, this day. A day that marked the beginning of something far greater than Luca and me. It was the start of a new legacy, a new generation.I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace on my white and gold dress. The fitted bodice hugged my waist, the flowy skirt cascading down to the floor in elegant waves. It was tradition to wear white for purity, for new beginnings, and today, everything felt pure.“Are you ready?” Luca’s voice came from behind me, deep and soothing.I turned, and there he was—my husband, the father of my children, the love of my life. He looked breathtaking in his custom-fitted navy-blue suit, the gold cufflinks matching the accents on my dress. His dark hair was styled to perfection, but it was his eyes—the way they softened when they met mine—that made my heart race.“As
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue (The Night Before Forever)
(Sienna’s POV)The house was finally quiet. It was a fragile silence, the kind that came after hours of soothing newborn cries, calming restless toddlers, and making sure everything was set for the next day. I stood at the doorway of the nursery, my fingers gripping the frame as I watched my daughters sleeping soundly in their cribs.Elena and Isabella.It still felt surreal, even though I had spent the past eight weeks holding them, feeding them, memorizing every little detail about their tiny features. The gentle rise and fall of their chests, the way Isabella’s little fingers always curled around her sister’s when they were placed beside each other, the way Elena would turn her head in search of my voice.A soft smile tugged at my lips.It wasn’t just them that made my heart feel impossibly full—it was everything. The house, now brimming with life. The sound of Matteo and Alessandro’s giggles echoing through the halls. The way Luca looked at me with a depth of love that made me wea
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue (Our Angels)
(Luca's POV) Sienna was asleep.After more than fifteen hours of labor, screaming, crying, and a near bone-breaking grip on my hand, she had finally drifted into a well-earned rest. Her body was utterly exhausted, her face soft in slumber, strands of hair still sticking to her forehead.But me? I couldn’t sleep. Not even for a second.Because right in front of me, in the transparent bassinet beside Sienna’s hospital bed, lay our daughters.My daughters.I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. It didn’t feel real. How could it? One moment, it was just the two of us—just me and Sienna, figuring out life, navigating chaos, and now… now there were four of us.My heart clenched.They were so tiny. So fragile.One of them let out a small, soft sigh in her sleep, her tiny fingers twitching before settling against the soft pink blanket wrapped around her. Her sister lay beside her, her lips pursed slightly, looking just as peaceful.Matteo had arrived with Alessandro a few hours ago, and af
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( We Meet Our two Beautiful Angel)
(Luca's POV) Time had never felt so slow and so fast at the same time.The past eight months had been a whirlwind. From setting up the nursery to attending doctor’s appointments, every single day had been a countdown to this moment. And now—now it was here.Sienna was in labor.And I was losing my goddamn mind.I had rehearsed this moment a thousand times. I had planned, prepared, and memorized every step of the process. But all of that went out the window the second Sienna gripped my arm and gasped, “Luca… my water just broke.”For a solid five seconds, I stared at her like a complete idiot.Then chaos erupted.“Okay—okay! We’re ready! We have the bag! We have the—where’s my phone?!” I patted down my pockets, my movements jerky and uncoordinated. My heart was pounding so loudly in my ears that I barely heard Sienna groan.“Luca,” she exhaled, gripping the kitchen counter as she breathed through a contraction. “Stop panicking.”“I’m not panicking,” I lied, my hands shaking as I reach
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue (Preparing for Chaos)
(Sienna's POV) The news of our twin girls spread like wildfire. By the time Luca and I had finished calling everyone in our immediate circle, our families had already told their friends, and somehow, I suspected half the neighborhood knew too.Luca’s mother had called again—twice—to ask if she could start planning the baby shower immediately. My own mother had sent me a list of name suggestions before I could even finish breakfast. Even Cassie had texted me with an absurd amount of baby girl outfits she wanted to buy.And through all of this, Luca looked like a man who had been hit by a freight train.“Are you okay?” I asked him as he slumped against the kitchen counter, staring at his phone.He let out a slow breath. “I just got a message from my uncle. He says congratulations, and that we should start looking into bulletproof windows for when the girls are teenagers.”I snorted. “He’s not wrong.”Luca groaned, rubbing his face. “Sienna, do you realize how much trouble I’m in?”I ra
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( Double the Love)
(Luca’s POV)I didn’t know how long I sat there, staring at the ultrasound screen like a man who’d just had his entire world flipped upside down. Twin girls.Two.Jesus Christ.I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling sharply as I tried to process the reality of it. One baby had already been enough to completely wreck me in the best possible way, but two? I was so f***ed.Sienna was watching me, her fingers squeezing mine, probably waiting for me to say something more profound than the string of curses I’d already let loose. But my mind was short-circuiting.Twin daughters.“Luca,” she murmured, her voice softer now, like she was worried about me.I shook myself out of the trance, blinking at her before looking back at the screen, where two tiny, indistinct shapes flickered with life. My daughters.I swallowed hard, my chest tightening with something dangerously close to tears. “They’re so small,” I rasped.Dr. Caldwell chuckled. “That’s because they’re only about ten weeks along. But I
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( Two Heartbeats)
(Sienna’s POV)I sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers idly tracing the fabric of my nightgown. The past few months had been a whirlwind—recovery, adjusting back to normal life, and trying to find a sense of peace after everything we’d been through. Luca had been my rock, never leaving my side, always knowing exactly what I needed before I even said a word. And now, as the early morning light filtered through the curtains, I found myself staring down at the pregnancy test in my hands.Two lines.Two lines.I blinked. My breath hitched.No. This couldn’t be right.I grabbed another test from the drawer—one of the fancy digital ones. My hands shook as I followed the instructions, waiting the agonizing minutes for the result.“Pregnant. 3+ weeks.”A choked gasp left my lips. My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears.Pregnant.I pressed a hand to my stomach, a thousand thoughts racing through my mind. We hadn’t been trying, not exactly, but we also hadn’t been preventing it. I
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( Coming Home)
Luca's POV I never thought the sight of home would make my chest ache the way it did today. As the car rolled up the driveway, the massive wrought-iron gates slowly opening, I tightened my grip on Sienna’s hand.“We’re here, baby,” I murmured, pressing a kiss to her temple.Her head rested against the seat, exhaustion still etched into her delicate features, but when she lifted her gaze to meet mine, I saw something there—relief. Hope. A softness that had been missing for too long.She smiled, small but real. “Home,” she whispered, as if testing the word on her tongue.It had been months of uncertainty, months of fighting battles that neither of us had been prepared for. The long nights in the hospital, the painful procedures, the endless waiting for answers that never seemed to come fast enough. But we had made it through.And now, we were finally back where we belonged.The front door swung open before the driver even fully stopped the car. My mother rushed out first, wiping her ha
