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

    “Have you lost your mind?" Victor snapped, looking at Lucas as if he’d suddenly grown two heads.Lucas shook his head. “No, I haven't," he replied curtly. “You’ll take control for me, Lucas, and protect the familia like you would your own. The gangs will answer to you, and nothing about the familia will concern me anymore. You're the only one I trust enough to handle this. Please, you cannot refuse me.”Victor exhaled loudly as he searched Lucas's face. “Why are you doing this?" he asked. Then his eyes narrowed as he immediately put the pieces together. “This is because of Kate, isn't it?"Lucas's silence was enough for Victor to know he’d guessed right. He cursed under his breath and glared at Lucas. “Why are you throwing everything away for the sake of a woman? Is she worth giving up everything for? Uncle Julian wouldn’t be pleased about this. Hell, even I don’t support this madness."The air around Lucas grew heavy, charged. His eyes burned and his whole body tensed as if every wor

    As Julian waited for Erick to come back, his eyes kept drifting to the door. When it finally opened without a knock, he rose from his seat in one motion.‘That had to be Erick,’ he thought.Erick stepped in and handed him two brown paper files. “Here's the information you asked for."Julian acknowledged Erick by nodding his head, then took the files and sat back down. He set them in front of him, staring for a moment, praying silently that his suspicion was right.Then he opened the first file and scanned the front page details: Deceased file of Anthony and Katelyn Walker.He flipped to the next page and read through the details, his eyes moving fast until they stopped on their surviving child, whose name was none other than Kate Walker.Julian didn't react right away. He set that file aside and opened the second one: the file with Kate's information. He scanned it quickly.By the time he finished, satisfaction settled in his chest; cold and immediate.Kate was the daughter of Anthony

    “Really?” Kate asked, her voice rising slightly with surprise.She had thought it would take her time before she could finally convince Lucas to change his ways of doing things. But hearing him give in to her so easily truly surprised her.‘Matteo was right. She really had the power to steady Lucas.’“Yes,” Lucas affirmed with a nod, and a bright smile instantly bloomed across Kate's face.She suddenly closed the distance between them and wrapped her hands around his neck. “I know changing won't be easy,” she murmured softly, affection shining in her eyes. “But thank you for wanting to try for my sake. I love you, Mr. Mafia.”Lucas raised his brows. “Why do you call me that?” he asked, amused. If he remembered correctly, this was the third time she had called him by that nickname.Kate giggled as she pulled away from him. “Because that's the nickname I chose for you. You're from the mafia, aren't you?”Lucas chuckled. “Well, I'll be stepping down tonight and giving the reins to someon

    "What?" Kate whispered shakily, staring at Lucas as if she had suddenly stopped understanding the room around her."What did you say?" she asked, fear slowly creeping into her eyes.Lucas exhaled slowly, looking like he wanted to take back the last few minutes entirely. Regret flashed across his face as he looked at her.He had been the one who threatened the doctors into keeping the truth from her. He had also warned Ace and Victor not to tell her anything either.All because he couldn't bear the thought of hurting her with the news. And now, in a moment of anger, he had destroyed that himself. "I... I didn't mean that, Kitty," he said quickly, trying to salvage the situation."Forget what I said—""No." Kate shook her head immediately, cutting him off. "Don't lie to me, Lucas. I want the truth."Kate's breath heaved as she continued, "What did you mean?" she asked again, her voice now trembling. "Was I preg...?"The word refused to leave her mouth completely, as she searched Lucas's

    Bob stood to the side, watching the couple with widened eyes. They had completely ignored his existence and were in their own little world.Now that he realized Lucas had fallen hopelessly in love with Kate, Bob was ecstatic.'Doesn't that mean he could gamble at the casino now that things are settled between them?' Bob mused in his head.Kate shook her head. “Not anymore.”Lucas's face fell at her words. “You…”“I was scared when you told your men to chop off Wilson's fingers,” she admitted softly, cutting him off before he could speak further. “You were terrifying, Lucas. I got chills just looking at your back that day.”Lucas's gaze lowered slightly.“But later,” Kate continued quietly, “I realized you were avenging Wilson for all the terrible things he has done. And suddenly…I couldn’t bring myself to pity him anymore. I didn’t let my fear decide how I see you.”Something in Lucas shifted, and his hand moved to her waist gently, reverently. “Thank you,” he murmured hoarsely before

    As if Kate knew that Lucas was at the door, she turned her head and looked in his direction. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him standing there, his gaze locked on her with emotions swirling in his eyes.“Lucas," she whispered softly. Moisture gathered in her eyes as she recalled his painful past that Victor had shared with her. She pushed her own sadness down her throat and focused on the man before her.Kate slid off the bed and, barefoot, hurried towards Lucas. When she neared him, she moved closer and wrapped her hands around his waist.Lucas stilled for a moment, caught off guard by her hug. He hadn't expected such a gesture from her, and the moment she touched him, all the nervousness and tension in his body eased slowly as he allowed himself to breathe in her scent.Lucas inhaled deeply, her scent filling his lungs and grounding him in a way nothing else could. He pulled her against him and lifted her while Kate’s legs locked around his waist and her hands went around his

    “Kitty," Lucas called out, breaking the comfortable silence between them, and Kate hummed against his chest. “Why don’t you tell me more about yourself? I want to know what you like and the things you don’t. I want to know every single detail about you; from your childhood days to your teenage year

    “Is the sun rising from the west today?” Ace said as he entered the kitchen and saw Lucas wearing an apron, mixing something in a bowl while the chef stood by, giving him instructions. Ace raised his eyebrows. “What are you doing?" he asked curiously.Lucas was not the type to set foot in the kitc

    “What did you say?” Kate asked, wanting Lucas to elaborate further. ‘What does he mean that he wants her to move into his room? Was he breaking his own rules?’“I want you to move into my room," Lucas repeated. Kate's eyes swirled with warmth, yet confusion. She couldn't read the man before her; he

    The next morning, Lucas woke up with the light of the sun caressing the curtains with its golden rays. His emerald eyes peeled open, and the first thing that greeted his sight was the beautiful face of his wife.‘His wife,’ Lucas repeated in his head, liking the sound of it. She slept peacefully, f
