"Well, I guess I'll have to figure it out myself," Nicole said, then she searched the fridge for something to cook.

She put on her headphones and started cooking to the rhythm of the music. Unlike her sister, she always enjoyed cooking. Her nanny had been her best teacher, teaching her many things. Through her, Nicole developed a passion for gardening, and her nanny always told her that if you speak nicely to plants, they become beautiful and bloom.

She prepared some eggs Benedict, toast, coffee, and orange juice.

When she turned around, she saw Bruno leaning against the wall, watching her. She ignored him, set the breakfast for both of them on the table, sat down, and started eating.

"I didn't think you'd enjoy cooking. You're really good at it," Bruno commented.

"Thanks," Nicole replied.

They finished their meal in silence, and after they were done, Bruno left while she stayed behind to clean the kitchen.

The house was truly grand, in Victorian style, inherited by Bruno from his gra

    Nicole couldn't help but smile. Dante was so different from Bruno, like two opposite poles. She was happy that she could finally go out.Despite Jack's disapproval, they left the mansion. He followed closely behind. Dante took them to a trendy restaurant, stylish and modern, located on the top floor of a building facing Central Park, offering a marvelous view."It's wonderful to be able to go out and enjoy this view again. I thought I might be a prisoner forever," Nicole exclaimed."I know, sis. I'm sure Bruno has gone too far, but I believe he'll be different when he returns. This time apart will give him some time to think," Dante reassured her."I truly hope Bruno treats Nicole better. She doesn't deserve everything he's done," Sophie commented, embracing her friend.They continued chatting for a while when suddenly Leandro and Shelsy approached."Hello, Nicole. We meet again," Leandro greeted."Hi, Leandro. What a coincidence. Would you like to join us? We haven't ordered yet, and

    In the Williams mansion, Noah was trying to find a way to talk to Emma. Rina had returned, and she could harm them. Nicole couldn't find out who she truly was."I've noticed you've been acting strange and distant. Is something wrong?""On the day of the gathering, when I was leaving with Nicole to take her home, Rina appeared. After all these years, she dares to come.""That can't be. We must keep her away from my daughter. She abandoned her when she was very young. She can't expect to reclaim her now.""I know. We must keep a close watch on her without Nicole finding out. We must do everything in our power to prevent her from getting close to our daughter."That night, Leandro invited Shelsy to dinner. It would be a great opportunity to end things with her and make everything clear. After all, she didn't love him; she was still in love with Bruno. He knew that if he asked her, she would help him separate Bruno from Nicole. She was a hollow and empty woman, and he couldn't stand being

It was clear that he was aggressive and didn't respect her. He wasn't aware of what was really going on.

    Nicole had heard the loud noise caused by things falling and glass shattering. She sat calmly, ignoring what was happening. Bertha got up and ran off, and a little while later, she returned looking completely pale."Mr. Bruno is in a bad mood. He threw everything off his desk, the glass broke, and he ordered that you clean up later," she said."Well, he makes the mess and I'm the one who has to clean it up," Nicole replied, annoyed.During lunchtime, Bruno came out looking very serious and stood in front of Nicole's desk."You will come and have lunch with me," he said in an authoritative tone."Sorry, I already made plans to eat with Bertha," she responded, irritated by his way of addressing her."I'm not asking you. Let's go," he said, approaching and grabbing her arm to force her to get up.Nicole felt that she had had enough of Bruno's behavior. She couldn't stand him anymore and needed to find a way to distance herself from him. They walked to the restaurant together, which was on

    Nicole reacted furiously to Bruno’s audacity. She was tired of his games and of him feeling like he owned her. She was paying for something that wasn’t her fault and wasn’t willing to tolerate it anymore.“You’re an idiot, a boor. Don’t ever come near me again. If you gave me a divorce and I never saw you again, I would be the happiest woman on earth.”“Wow, you’ve got guts, kitten. Don’t you dare do what you did again or I’ll forget that I’m a gentleman. I’m informing you that next Saturday we’ll be attending the charity gala your parents are hosting. The driver will take you after work to choose the dress you’ll wear that night. I’ve already spoken to Madame Sutie, she’ll be waiting for you. Wait for me in your room tonight, don’t lock the door or I’m capable of knocking it down.”Nicole couldn’t believe the nerve and audacity of that man. She pretended to accept his order to avoid continuing the argument.“I don’t feel like arguing, it will be as you command, master and lord.”She s

He has put up surveillance to keep me away from you.""Do you have something to do with my father? Are you his lover?""I was his wife twenty years ago.""It can't be.

    Bruno headed to Gío's house, longing to be reunited with his wife and son. They received him with such coldness that he felt like he was facing blocks of ice. Rina and Gío watched him, clearly annoyed."If you're going to mistreat our daughter, why did you come looking for her?" Rina said."I love her," Bruno replied, bowing his head, feeling ashamed of his behavior."Are you sure? Because if you're not, it's better for you to leave. Your insecurities are causing our daughter pain.""I need to talk to her, to ask for her forgiveness.""This will be the last time you do something foolish and we allow you to get close to her. Let it be clear that we're doing it for our grandchild. If it wasn't for that, we would have taken her out of the country in the early hours of the morning."Bruno paled upon hearing those words. He didn't want to lose her again; he couldn't bear it.Rina and Gío went upstairs, and a few minutes later, Nicole came down with a serious expression on her face."What d

    Alizza was being interrogated. Bertha had already given her statement, and Alizza insisted that the woman was lying. She claimed she didn't work for anyone and hadn't made any calls."This woman hates me, that's why she's trying to implicate me," Alizza lied in an attempt to save herself. She had admitted everything to Bruno and Dante, but now she denied it."If you tell us who ordered you to harm Mrs. Leone, maybe we can reduce your sentence. You're in a big mess, young lady," the detective told her."I'm telling you the truth, I haven't done anything. Bruno and I love each other, that's why these women have set me up," she thought of making them believe that Bruno was lying about her.The police officer left the interrogation room and immediately called Bruno to give his statement. Bruno arrived promptly."Mr. Leone, you lied in your previous statement. The girl claims to have a relationship with you, which is why your wife and secretary have implicated her," the officer informed hi

    In the corporate office, Alizza was getting ready to leave when Dante approached her."Do you need something, Mr. Dante? I was about to leave," she asked, puzzled. Dante never spoke to her."Why?" His face displayed the fury he felt."I don't understand," she replied, unaware that she had been discovered."Why did you do it?" The intensity of Dante's gaze made her uneasy."You're scaring me, sir. I don't know what you're talking about," she instinctively took a step back."Don't play dumb. You put oil on the stairs to make Nicole slip. We have evidence," he said, restraining himself from slapping her."Sir, I have no idea what you're talking about," the girl trembled, terrified of being exposed.At that moment, Bruno entered the room. Alizza saw his face distorted by pain and anger, and she attempted to run away."You're not going anywhere," Bruno grabbed her arm and without thinking, he struck her in the face. Then, he grabbed her by the throat and began to apply pressure with his ha

She left the place, trying to contain her fury.Bruno took Nicole's hand and they returned to the dining room. Sara, seeing that Deborah had left, took Santi downstairs so he could be with his parents. Later, they went upstairs to put the little one to bed, and as they did every night, Bruno told him a story.He enjoyed this role as a father; he had always felt that his life lacked purpose, and now he had found it.Nicole was lying down, and he applied cream to her hands before starting to massage her feet. He constantly surprised her; this wasn't the Bruno she knew. Perhaps he had changed.After a while, he rested his head on Nicole's abdomen."You, together with your brother, will be the most loved baby in the world. I will protect you for the rest of my life, I promise you, my little love."He fell asleep while she tenderly stroked his head. Bruno might

    Alizza headed to the bathroom, took her phone, and made a call."Hello.""Sir, Mrs. Nicole and Mr. Bruno are still together.""I already know that.""She's pregnant.""Well, well, that's interesting. That's something new. Keep me informed of everything that happens.""Yes, sir."Alizza hung up the phone after the man on the other end ended the call. She hated that man because he forced her to be his spy, but she knew he was willing to make Nicole disappear, and she was pleased about that.Two days later, they gathered at Rina's house. It was the day she was discharged from the hospital, and they had organized a welcome party.Shortly after, she arrived with Gío. She was still in a wheelchair and would be for some time since she had fractured her foot."Welcome home, Mom," Nicole exclaimed and approached her, hugging her while handing her a beautiful bouquet of roses.Leandro did the same. Bruno and Nicole took advantage of everyone being gathered to share the news of their pregnancy.

    Gío returned to the hospital later and found Leandro anxiously standing outside the room."Has something happened? Is Rina okay?" he asked."She's fine, but as soon as you left, my father came," Leandro replied."That means he's keeping us under surveillance.""Now I'm certain that he's the one who caused all this. He entered the room and asked me to bring a pillow to end my mother's life. Thankfully, a nurse came in at that moment, or else he would have realized that I disagreed. He's determined to kill her just to preserve his fortune. We need to have surveillance in place.""I'll talk to the hospital director right away to get authorization. Wait here for a moment, and don't leave her alone.""I'll wait here," Leandro said.Leandro entered the room and stood next to Rina. He observed her for a moment, unable to hold back his tears."Mother, you have to wake up. I need you; I've needed you all my life. We have to make up for lost time. Please forgive me; I know it wasn't your fault.

    “How is Rina?" asked Gío."I think it's time for you to refer to her as your mother. You know perfectly well that she's not to blame for your father keeping her away from you," Gío pleaded, aware that Rina was suffering because she thought her son hated her."I understand, and I have nothing against her. It's just difficult for me to get used to calling her mother," Leandro honestly replied. He had grown up without uttering that word."Going back to the topic, we won't allow our father to harm anyone else. We need to put a stop to it," Noah said, feeling fed up with the situation."Are you with us or against us?" Bruno asked."You know I'm completely against what my father does. I won't let him hurt Nicole or Santi. If he harmed my mother, he must pay for it," Leandro affirmed.Later, everyone said their goodbyes. They couldn't stay in the room for too long. Gío went back to Rina's side, and Bruno stayed with Nicole."You should have gone home. You need rest. You drove from the lake,"

    Bruno entered the room at that moment."Good morning, sleeping beauty," he greeted."Hello, my silver-armored prince," Nicole replied.Bruno bowed and then approached her, kneeling on one knee while taking her hand."Beautiful lady, before you stands your humble servant," he said."Haha, get up already, you clown. I saw that you packed our bags," Nicole said."Yes, that's right. We're heading to Lake George. Santi is excited to go fishing in the lake. I have a house in that area," Bruno explained."Perfect, then, my beloved prince, let's go to our next destination," Nicole said.A couple of hours later, they arrived at Lake George and made their way to a house on the outskirts of town, right in front of the lake. Nicole really liked the house; it was Victorian-style, just like many houses in the area."Dad, the house has a part built over the lake," Santi exclaimed."Yes, son. In that part, there are boats stored that go directly onto the lake," Bruno replied.Later on, they went for

    When Nicole woke up, she didn't find Bruno. She looked out the window and saw him talking to some men who seemed strange to her. She went to take a shower, and after a while, she heard him come in.When he came out, she noticed that his expression was serious."Has something happened?" she asked, puzzled."No, why do you ask?" Bruno tried not to get nervous."Who were those men?" she sensed that something was wrong."Oh, those? They were locals. I was asking them some questions about fishing," he said, stating the first thing that came to his mind."By their appearance, they seemed like military personnel," Nicole thought they didn't look like locals at all, they looked different."I only know that they're from here, no idea what they do," he shrugged as he said it.Nicole found his attitude strange; he was clearly being defensive."And now, what did you eat?" she asked, serious now."Nothing, I haven't had breakfast," the question seemed odd to him, not relevant."I'm asking because
