In love with the Enemy   Twenty five years earlier, The discord
Twenty five years earlier Bruno's Pov, The mission was fraught with peril from the very beginning, and the slightest miscalculation could have spelled disaster. We were racing against the clock, knowing that the slightest misstep could result in our capture. It was a game of cat and mouse, with the stakes higher than ever before. And just when we thought we had made it out unscathed, the police appeared out of nowhere, nearly foiling our plans and threatening to end it all. But somehow, we managed to slip through the net and escape with our lives, our hearts pounding and our nerves frayed. It was a close call, and one we would not soon forget. I had promised myself that if we made it through the next two operations, I would leave the gang and start a new life with Monalisa. Despite Don's selfish and self-centered nature, I was determined to break free from his control and forge my path. But the thought of leaving everything I had known behind was daunting, and the risk of failure l

Twenty-five years earlier, Monalisa's pov, One month had passed since my relationship with Bruno crumbled, and every day felt like an eternity. I missed him with an almost physical pain, an all-consuming longing. I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't focus on anything. My days were spent in a haze of grief and regret, wondering what I could have done differently, and how I could have prevented this from happening. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a way to make things right again, except I was ready to go against Don Pablo and risk Bruno's life. The realization that Bruno was unwilling to compromise, that he would not bend his desire for the sake of our relationship, was devastating. It was a painful reminder that sometimes, no matter how much we want something to work, it just isn't meant to be. And as much as I wished we could find a way to make it work, I knew deep down that he was not ready to make the sacrifices I needed him to make. It was a bitter pill to swa

BRUNO'S POV,The incident from earlier kept replaying in my mind filling me with worry, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about what would have happened if Monalisa hadn't shown up in time, As I dwelled on that, my mind went back to her proposal, I kept weighing the weight of her words and the implications, that would mean me going back to my vomit, even as I tried to find a good reason to change my conviction, I was yet to lay my fingers on any, making me skeptical about it all."Daddy!" Isabella called me back to the present, which made me fix my gaze on her in response,"Is anything the matter?" She asked in her small shrill voice, "You've been pacing about since we got home, you look worried." She added, making me realize I was standing right in the middle of the room,"Oh Bell! It's nothing, your daddy is not worried at all." I responded forcing a smile to my face in an attempt to dissuade her from her conviction,"No Dad, you're worried, it is written all over your face," sh

SYLVIA'S POV, "I'm sorry, miss," Raynold said, his voice as hard as granite. "I cannot allow that."The finality of his statement hung heavy in the air, suffocating me with its weight. He straightened his spine and fixed his gaze on a distant spot, unwilling to meet my eyes, as I pleaded with him,I pleaded with Reynolds, desperation bleeding into my voice. "Please, I won't take long. He's here already, waiting outside. Just give us a few minutes, I beg of you.".I knew I had to press more if I wanted him to bend a little, how could I let go of the perfect opportunity to spend some time with Antonio, when I had carefully drafted out my plans, I had lied to both my father and stepbrother about stepping out to get something downtown."Reynolds, we're still friends right?" I said, looking into his eyes, even though his eyes were far from mine, "At least I know I don't see you as just my guard," I paused, allowing it to sink in, I knew eliciting his pity was one way to get him to bend

I inquired lightly, with a smile that startled him, he wasn't expecting my return,"Mom!" He exclaimed, gasping as he heard my voice, his expression was as hard as a rock, a direct opposite of what I had expected,"Where did you go?" I rephrased my question, taken in his countenance, I walked casually towards him, beaming with joy, as I anticipated his warm welcome,"That's what I should be asking you, Mom," his voice reverberated with anger as he said that,"Where are you coming from?" He added with so much boldness I hadn't seen before, making my brows crest as I took in the change in his demeanor,I had seen him angry before, but it was nothing compared to the look on his face and the matching resentment in his voice."Tonio, what's gotten
