The following morning, there was a knock on Matteo's apartment door. Kate, who had just finished freshening up, emerged from the spare bedroom and asked, "Are you expecting someone?"

"No..... Perhaps you are." Matteo replied.

"Lucas." Kate whispered, ‘He sure moves quickly.’ Then his familiar voice sounded from outside the apartment.

"I know Kate was here last night. Will you open the door or do I have to break it down?" Lucas demanded.

Matteo walked to the door and opened it, revealing

    Kate giggled at something her uncle had said to her, then bit into the sandwich she was holding and chewed slowly.A nurse had brought it to her a while ago, telling her that someone had ordered it. Kate had smiled at her, knowing it was Victor who had arranged it. She had collected the brown paper bag from the nurse and thanked her while the nurse nodded and stepped out of the room.Bob scowled at Kate when he saw that she was enjoying herself too much. Then he stood up from the bed, smoothing his outfit. “I think it's time for me to leave. I should let you enjoy your sandwich in peace."The smile slid off Kate's face, and she reached out her hands to stop him from leaving. "Come on, Uncle. Don't go yet; I’m enjoying your company.""Yeah, right. You're enjoying yourself at my expense,” Bob said, feigning anger, but his eyes held affection as he looked at Kate. He’d been telling Kate about the mishap that had happened to him when he went to gamble a week ago at the casino and how he’d

    In Elizabeth’s room, Matteo's head rested on the edge of her bed, and his eyes were closed as he slept.Elizabeth's fingers twitched by her side, then her eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the light. ‘I’m alive?’ she thought, letting her eyes dart around the room as she realized she was in the hospital.But who had brought her here?She turned her head to her left and saw a man's head lying beside her. ‘Who is that? One of her father's men?’ She shook her head when it occurred to her that Lucas had probably eliminated all of her father's men and allies.Elizabeth moved her hand and dropped it gently on the man's head. Matteo jerked away instantly, and as his eyes fell on Elizabeth, who was staring back at him, he sat up straighter. “You're awake," he said, his voice filled with relief.After the operation, Elizabeth was transferred from the emergency unit to a ward, and Matteo had been the one looking after her since then. He had also paid her medical bills and listed himself as her gu

    Ace froze.He didn't expect that the important thing Uncle Julian wanted to discuss with him was to ask about Lucas's relationship with Kate. ‘Why was he asking me about this instead of Lucas? And why does he seem so interested in their relationship?’ Ace mused, wondering if he should spill everything or leave out some details.“You seem hesitant, Ace. Why is that?" Julian asked, narrowing his eyes."No, Uncle Julian. I'm just trying… to refresh my memory so I don't skip over important details,” Ace explained, chuckling nervously.Julian nodded and crossed his legs. “I'm listening," he said, as one of Lucas's men returned to the living room with a glass of water and handed it to him. Julian took the glass, waved the man off, lifted it to his mouth, and drank. He set the glass on the table before looking at Ace.Ace took that as his cue to start talking. He cleared his throat and began, "Lucas was coerced by the Cosa Nostra to take a fiancée before he could be given access to your bro

    Bob’s eyes softened when Kate threw herself at him. It felt just like old times when he’d come back home and Kate would rush toward him and hug him.Staying away from her for so long and not being able to talk to her had made him suffer greatly. He had missed her so much and regretted ever handing her over to Lucas. Kate was not just a niece to him; she’d been the daughter he had raised and never had.Bob had gone to his usual casino to play games and drink when he heard a group of mafia members talking about the death of Wilson and how he’d kidnapped Lucas's wife, intending to use her against him, but their plans had failed miserably. He’d heard them talk about the fate that befell Wilson and his daughter.Bob felt his heart skip a beat at the news. He had walked over to the group and asked what had happened to Lucas's wife. “We don't really know all the details, but we heard she was shot and taken to the hospital. And rumors have it that Lucas had personally—”Bob rushed out of the

    “He was involved in an accident, one that claimed lives. That was the first time Lucas had blood on his hands,” Victor revealed.Kate went still, the truth knocking the breath out of her. She didn't expect such a revelation. “Accident," she repeated, and her mind couldn't help but think back to the time Uncle Bob had come home that night and told her that her parents were gone because they had been hit by someone.For some reason unknown to her, Victor’s words pressed down on her chest, as though some invisible thread tied that tragedy to her own soul. Her lips parted as she struggled for air."Kate! Kate,” Victor called, his voice filled with slight panic when he saw that she was struggling to breathe.He quickly stood up from his chair, went around her, then knelt beside her as he patted her back. "Look at me,” he commanded.Kate's eyes moved to him, and when Victor saw that he had grabbed her attention, he inhaled and exhaled, then said to her, "Breathe… follow my lead."Kate follo

    Kate's chest tightened with each word that came from Victor’s lips.“When Lucas turned ten, his mother started bringing men to the house. She’d get drunk and end up shouting at Lucas. As a child, he desperately craved his parents' love, but they showed him none. He’d watched his parents quarrel every night. Sometimes, they even threatened to kill each other or pointed weapons at one another. As time went by, Lucas became indifferent and would lock himself in his room whenever they fought—until one night that changed him completely.”Victor stopped talking and leaned back in his seat while Kate moved away from the bed and adjusted herself on its edge, her legs dangling in the air. “Why did you stop? Go on," Kate urged, eager to know the rest of the story.Seeing how eager Kate was, Victor’s eyes gleamed mischievously and he couldn't help but tease her with his next words. "That's all I know.”Kate was dumbfounded and blinked at Victor. “What? That can't be,” she exclaimed. She had been

    “Where do you think you are going?” Lucas asked with knitted brows when he saw Kate heading to the hallway that led to her room instead of his. Was she going to sleep in her bedroom? Had she forgotten that they were newlyweds now, and tonight was supposed to be their wedding night? Lucas mused sile

    The cathedral stood with its magnificent dome and intricate stone carvings that have stood the test of time. It was a sight to behold. Outside of it, Ace stood there with furrowed brows as he appeared to be dialing someone on the phone and placing the mobile close to his ear. He was pacing back an

    “Er… why are you staring at me like that?” Ace asked as he shifted back slightly in his seat. ‘What has gotten him all worked up now?’ Ace wondered, glancing up at Lucas with a confused expression. Lucas balled his hands into fists, his thin lips pursed tightly, and his emerald eyes blazed with fur

    Kate's heart pounded in her chest, as she rose from her seat, and moved towards the door, her steps light and cautious. She glanced back at Ace one last time, then swallowed a lump in her throat as she turned away, and slipped out of the living room and into the hallway, her mind racing.Kate walked
