Chapter 35: A baby

Olivia's POV

The sharp scent of antiseptic filled my nose as my eyes fluttered open, the fluorescent lights above blinding in their harshness.

My head throbbed, and my body felt heavy, tethered to the bed by the IV drip connected to my arm.

Panic briefly seized me-where was I? What had happened?

Then, I saw him.

Derek sat at the edge of a chair beside my bed, his lips curled into a smile that sent a shiver down my spine. "You're finally awake, sis," he said, his voice dripping with mock concern.

I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness forced me back onto the pillows. "What... what am I doing here?" I managed to croak, my throat dry and scratchy.

Derek leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "You fainted. They brought you here. Lucky for you, I was around to make sure you were taken care of."

"You should leave, Derek." I said without glancing in his direction.

"That's no way to talk to your brother, I stayed here only to make sure you're okay" he said ra

    Chapter 36: GoodbyeLeonardo's POVThe silence that followed the abrupt end of Olivia's call gnawed at me. I stared at my phone, the blank screen mocking me as questions swirled in my head. Why had she called if she had nothing to say? Was she in trouble? Hurt? Or was this her way of telling me something without words?I tossed my phone onto the desk and ran my hands through my hair, frustration building with every passing second. Something wasn't right, and every fiber of my being screamed at me to do something. I grabbed my phone again and dialed Matteo's number."Matteo," I said the moment he picked up."Yes, sir," came his sharp response, ever professional and efficient."I need you to find Olivia. Right now." My voice was clipped, laced with urgency. "Figure out where she is and whether she's in any kind of trouble. I don't care what it takes-just find out everything.""Understood. I'll call you back shortly."The call ended, leaving me in an agonizing silence. My office sudde

    Chapter 37: Alicia's Plot. Alicia's POVThe evening air outside my apartment was quiet, the city's usual hum reduced to a faint whisper. I leaned back on the plush sofa, my fingers swirling the red wine in my glass. The liquid caught the dim light, mirroring the storm brewing inside me.I glanced at the clock on the wall-7:45 p.m. Derek would be here soon. I had called him an hour ago, my tone casual yet insistent. "Come over," I had said, not bothering with pleasantries. Derek didn't need a reason; he knew better than to question me.It had been months since I had felt truly...satisfied. My pursuit of Leonardo had consumed me, leaving little room for anything else. But tonight, I needed a distraction. Derek was convenient, familiar-a temporary fix for the ache I couldn't seem to shake. I had made a resolve to use him to satisfy myself sexually, leading up to when I finally got married to Leonardo. Did I consider having sex with Derek as cheating on Leonardo? Well, I should have

    Chapter 38Alicia's Pov I gripped the edge of the counter, staring at the sleek black surface as if the answers I needed could be found there. The words Derek had said kept playing in my head, sharp and unrelenting. She's pregnant. Olivia is carrying Leonardo's child.The memory came back with such force that I almost staggered.Derek had looked so pleased with himself, the smirk on his face more infuriating than usual. "Alicia," he had said, dragging out my name like he always did when he thought he had the upper hand. "You'll never guess who's expecting."I hadn't cared for his games, not then and not now. "If you have something to say, Derek, spit it out," I'd snapped, my patience thinner than a razor's edge."Oh, I'll say it, alright," he'd replied, leaning forward, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Your dear Olivia skipped town, but not before leaving a little surprise. She's pregnant, Alicia. With Leonardo's child."The air had left my lungs like I'd been punc

    Leonardo's POVThe phone buzzed on my desk, an interruption I neither needed nor wanted. My head throbbed from a morning of back-to-back meetings, and the last thing I had the patience for was some trivial report or another."Make it quick," I barked as I picked up, already reaching for the coffee that had gone cold hours ago."Sir," my secretary's voice trembled slightly, a rare occurrence for the usually composed woman. That caught my attention. "I've come across something... concerning. It's about Ms. Carter."Alicia? I leaned back in my chair, the tension in my shoulders shifting to a sharper kind of alertness. "What about her?""It seems she's hired a private investigator," she continued, her words careful and deliberate. "To track down someone named Olivia."The coffee cup froze midway to my lips. Olivia. My heart gave a strange, uneven thud. "You're certain?""Yes, sir. The request was made to Frank Reynolds. He's well-known in his field."Of course, Alicia would go to someone

    Leonardo's POVThe silent drive back to my penthouse was suffocating, my knuckles white against the steering wheel. Alicia's words echoed in my head like a relentless drumbeat.Olivia is pregnant. And it's yours.Every nerve in my body screamed at me to turn the car around, march back to her penthouse, and force her to explain everything. But I knew Alicia too well. She wouldn't give me anything useful, only more lies, more manipulation.The woman built on chaos, and this time, she'd used Olivia to bait me. Worse, I'd taken it. Hook, line, and sinker.When I reached my apartment, I slammed the door behind me and tossed my keys onto the counter. The silence was suffocating. My mind raced, piecing together fragments of memory, trying to make sense of how I'd ended up here. Olivia had been gone for days, her departure sudden but deliberate. I had told myself she needed space, that she'd come back when she was ready. Now I wondered if I'd been a fool to believe that.Pregnant.The w

    Alicia's POVThe call connected after the first ring, Frank's gruff voice filling the silence of my study. "Alicia," he greeted, as if he hadn't been expecting my call.I didn't waste time with pleasantries. "Has Leonardo gone to Milan?"There was a pause, the kind that prickled under my skin. "Yes," Frank confirmed. "He arrived yesterday. Spent the night at a hotel near the address you gave me, and he visited her this morning."My nails bit into the polished wood of my desk. It wasn't the answer I wanted, but it was the one I'd expected. Leonardo's weakness for Olivia was his most glaring flaw, a flaw I was determined to exploit. I would get rid of Olivia and that baby of hers, apparently it has been making Leonardo act so out of character that one will think that he's in love with her. Tsk love such a brazen word, a man needs stability, support which will be able to give and not Olivia. if this was merely just about warming his bed, that I'll be very much be able to provide then

    Olivia's POVThe sharp smell of damp concrete and stale air greeted me before my eyes even opened. My head throbbed, a dull, insistent ache that made it hard to focus. My body felt heavy, sluggish, as if I'd been drugged. Panic started to bubble under the surface of my thoughts, but I forced myself to stay calm.I blinked against the dim light, taking in my surroundings. A small, windowless room, the walls bare and gray. A single bulb hung from the ceiling, its weak light casting long, distorted shadows. The only furniture was the chair I was strapped to and a rickety table pushed against the far wall.I wasn't in Milan anymore. That much was clear.Memories started to filter back, fractured and blurry. I'd been at the apartment, tidying up after Leonardo's visit. His sudden appearance had shaken me, though I'd tried to hide it. Seeing him again, after all this time, had been like reopening an old wound-painful and raw.And then... what?I'd heard a knock at the door. I'd assumed i

I excused myself, the words of my business partners fading into the background as I stepped into the hallway. My fingers trembled slightly as I pulled the device from my pocket, half hoping and half dreading that it would be Olivia.But it wasn't her. It was Frank."What?" I barked, irritation masking the unease that twisted in my chest.There was a pause on the line, long enough to make my stomach knot. "Leonardo," Frank's voice was low, deliberate. "We need to talk. It's about Olivia."The air seemed to vanish from my lungs. My grip on the phone tightened, my voice dropping to a growl. "What about her?""She's gone," he said bluntly. "Kidnapped."The hallway tilted, the sterile walls closing in around me as his words sank in. "What the hell are you talking about?""She was taken from Milan.

Lily's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.I turned to find her standing by the back door, already in her sneakers, her backpack slung over her shoulder as though she was ready for an adventure."Did you finish your chores first?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.Lily made a face but nodded. "Yes, Mommy. I made my bed, and I put away my books."I smiled. "Alright, go ahead. But make sure to stay close, okay?"She grinned and ran outside, her blonde hair streaming behind her. Ethan, who had been playing with his toy cars on the floor, looked up at me."Mommy, can I go outside too?"I knelt down to his level, brushing a stray curl from his face. "After breakfast, sweetie."He pouted but nodded, his little lips pulling into a tight line as he held up his toy truck.I went back to the kitchen, turning off the stove and preparing to set the table. Just as I placed the last plate down, I felt a pair of strong arms wrap

I stood by the kitchen sink, watching through the window as Leonardo played outside with our daughter. Their laughter echoed in the crisp air, blending with the rustling of leaves.She sat perched on his shoulders, her tiny hands gripping his hair as he ran in circles, pretending to be a horse.“Faster, Daddy!” she squealed.Leonardo groaned dramatically. “Princess, Daddy is getting old.”She giggled, tapping his head. “No, you’re not! You’re strong like a superhero!”I smiled, my heart swelling.This was our life now. Simple, filled with love.No more running. No more looking over our shoulders.

The morning sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a golden glow over the wooden floors. The air smelled of fresh coffee and something sweet—pancakes, maybe.I followed the scent, my heart warming at the sight before me.Leonardo stood at the stove, shirtless, wearing only loose pajama pants. His dark hair was still tousled from sleep, and the muscles in his back flexed as he flipped a pancake with effortless ease. But what made me smile the most was the little girl sitting on the counter beside him, her tiny hands clapping together as she watched her father cook."Again, Daddy!" she giggled.Leonardo grinned and spun the spatula between his fingers before tossing the pancake into the air. It flipped twice before landing perfectly back in the pan."Like that, princess?" he asked.She nodded enthusiastically, her brown cur

    Chapter 156: EpilogueOlivia’s POVThe mountain air was crisp as I stood on the wooden balcony, gazing at the endless stretch of pine trees below. The sun had just dipped behind the peaks, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The wind whispered through the branches, carrying with it the clean scent of rain and earth.It was quiet here. Peaceful.Safe.For the first time in months, I could breathe without fear coiling around my throat. The Russo family was gone. Matteo Russo was dead. The house, the network, the legacy—destroyed. Harris had confirmed it with photos and reports. There was no one left to hunt us. No shadows lurking behind cameras. No footsteps echoing in the night.Leonardo stepped onto the balcony beside me, two mugs of coffee in hand. He handed me one, then wrapped his free arm around my waist, pulling me into his warmth."Thinking again?" he asked softly.I leaned against him, feeling his steady heartbeat through his sweater. "Always."He kissed the top

Smoke burned my throat, and every muscle in my body screamed for rest, but we couldn’t stop. Not now. Not with Matteo Russo closing in.We reached the ground floor and burst through the emergency exit into the alley. The cold night air hit me like a slap. I scanned the shadows for movement, gun raised. Olivia stood beside me, her eyes wide and wild.The phone in my pocket buzzed again.Another message.“You can’t run forever.”I gritted my teeth and shoved the phone back into my jacket. "He’s playing with us," I muttered.Olivia’s voice shook. "He’s just a kid, Leonardo.""No," I said, scanning the rooftops. "He stopped being a kid the moment Victor put a gun in his hand."She hugged herself, shivering. I placed a hand on her arm, grounding her. "We end this tonight.""How?" she asked.I didn’t have an answer.The phone buzzed again.I hesitated, then

    Chapter 154Olivia’s POVThe smell of smoke lingered in the air as I stood beside Leonardo, staring at the burning ruins of the Russo compound. The flames crackled, devouring the walls, the floors—everything Matteo Russo had built to continue his father’s legacy.But the weight in my chest wouldn’t lift. The fire might’ve destroyed the compound, but the memories remained. The sight of Matteo’s small body hitting the floor haunted me. His lifeless eyes. The blood spreading across his shirt.He’d been just a boy. A boy raised to hate, to kill, to continue the twisted family tradition. And Leonardo had been forced to pull the trigger."Olivia," Leonardo said softly, his voice pulling me from my thoughts.I blinked, realizing I’d been clutching my arms so tightly that my nails had dug into my skin. I loosened my grip. "Yeah?""We need to go. The police will be here soon."I gave a shaky nod.Leonardo took my hand, guiding me toward the car parked beyond the tree line. The headlights wer

Olivia sat beside me, her eyes locked on the image as though it might come to life. My own thoughts churned like a storm, each one darker than the last.Victor Russo had a son. An heir. A child born into a legacy of violence and manipulation."We didn’t know," Olivia whispered, voice trembling. "We thought we ended the family."I ran a hand down my face, exhaustion pressing against my skull. "Victor always had contingency plans. We underestimated him.""But how?" she asked. "We dug into every aspect of his life. There was nothing about a kid.""Because he wanted it that way." I stood and paced the length of the living room. "Victor was always obsessed with bloodlines. Family. Legacy. Of course, he’d hide a child until he was ready to use him."Olivia rubbed her arms. "He looked so...calm. That boy at the door. Like he wasn’t scared at all.""

"Did...we win?"I glanced at Victor’s body. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling."Yeah," I said. "We won."Harris’s team arrived within minutes. They removed the bomb and secured the mansion. Harris, bruised but breathing, sat on the porch while medics checked his vitals.Olivia and I stood nearby, watching the sunrise paint the sky in soft oranges and pinks."It’s really over," she whispered.I wrapped my arm around her.

Olivia sat beside me, silent, her body rigid with fear. The message on my phone echoed in my mind:“The devil doesn’t die.”Victor Russo was alive. Or someone who looked and sounded exactly like him.I didn’t believe in ghosts. But I knew the Russos were capable of almost anything. Victor had faked his death once already. Why not twice?"Leonardo," Olivia said softly.I glanced at her, her face pale in the dim light. "Yeah?""How...how is this possible?" Her voice cracked. "We saw his body. We saw the coroner’s report."I didn’t have an answer. I’d held Victor’s cold wrist to check for a pulse that day. I’d seen the bullet hole in his forehead. But tonight...I’d seen him standing beneath the trees, breathing, smiling."We’re missing something," I said finally. "Something big."She hugged herself. "What if it really was him?"I gritted my t
