A veil of confusion fell over me as I stared at her message. Was she right? Maybe. Did I want to? No.

“What do you mean ‘get out of there'?” I asked.

She immediately deleted the message after I sent mine. “Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. It wasn't at all empathic of me,” she texted.

“No, it's fine. Can I text you much later? I have to go,” I said before turning off my phone without waiting for her response. I took a deep breath once my phone was out of the way.

I started deeply wishing I hadn't said anything to her. Maybe if I had already told Enzo everything before then, I would have been able to tell him about the pregnancy.

Pushing her words to the back of my head, I stood up to stand in front of the full length mirror.

I folded my sweatshirt up so I could visualize my bare stomach, turning in different directions as if a bump would have formed within the time I lay down. It was still as flat as ever.

A knock sounded on the door. Before I could react, I heard the lock turn ope

    After the day Luca threatened me, he let me be. Although I was avoiding him like the plague every single day, I still saw him around enough to know that he was there. I tried to tell Elena or Sabrina about what happened, except the part about me being pregnant, but I could never bring myself to do so. Not until some days after when they both came over to spend the day with me. “I feel like I haven't seen you in forever,” Sabrina groaned as they plopped down on the couch in the living room.“That's because we actually haven't seen her in forever. She's been so distant,” Elena said with pout. I gave them a small and very fake smile. “I've been distant because you girls hardly ever checked on me,” I wanted to say, but I stayed quiet instead.“The last time I saw her was when Santos sent a message to Luca, and I had to work here,” Sabrina said in a hushed voice.I looked around on instinct to be sure there was no one around us who could overhear. “How's that search going?” I asked, m

    Maybe I should have given it more thought, or maybe not. Waking up that morning, in the same bed, in the same house, scared to death of the same man but this time, acutely aware of a child growing inside of me. It was like the adrenaline rush I needed. I was going to run away. The first thing I did was to scout the area. “Gabriel, can we go for a run? I don't want to use the treadmill and my joints are sore,” I said to Gabriel, doing my best to look nonchalant about his response. “I'll ask the boss when he co—” I cut him off. “Oh for Pete's sake. It's just a run in the compound's perimeter. Do you have to take permission from ‘your boss’ for something like that?” “Besides, he's not around and I want to run now before the sun comes up,” I added although I didn't know Luca wasn't home when I asked that. Gabriel contemplated for a few seconds. “Alright ma'am, I'll meet you here in three minutes,” he said before jogging off. I took a deep breath. I'm ready. I came back to my

    I didn't know where I was going but I kept running. I finally found what seemed like a homely neighborhood and I slowed to a casual jog.The thrill and adrenaline finally wore off as I sat on a bench by the sidewalk.“What now?” I asked the baby growing inside of me. I wasn't sure what stage they started to hear but I didn't care. If I wanted to speak to my baby, then I would. “You're in there, right?” I asked, poking my stomach but careful not to apply pressure. “Please don't be mad at me that we left without your daddy,” I said.The only things in my mini purse were a credit card which I was certainly not going to use, some neatly arranged dollar bills, a passport sized photograph of Enzo and I from years ago, and a piece of gum.I sighed, popping the gum into my mouth. It tasted bitter so I spat it out right after.There was no way in hell I could go back to where I lived. Apart from the fact that it was on the whole other side of the city, it was also the first place that Luca w

    I woke up on a cold surface to a very dark room. I have never been a fan of the dark, so I jumped in an attempt to get away, but I was met with resistance. Trying again, I realized that my arms were chained to the wall. Memories of that night when Luca had taken me flashed through my mind.Where am I? What am I doing here? Who was the person from last night? The chains were pressing down tightly into my skin. It was certainly going to leave a mark.A dimly lit orange bulb that hung just above my head came on, leaving the other half of the room still dark. “Hello?” I called out to the darkness, shifting closer into the wall like there was any space left there. “Who are you?”“I think what you should be saying is please don't kill me,” a hooded man said, coming to stand in front of me.My heart was hammering from fear, but I tried not to let it show on my face. “No?” He asked, cocking his head sideways. I stayed quiet. “Alright then,” he said as he crouched down to look at me.“I'm g

    I wasn't sure what he wanted to tell Luca through the video, but he made me stand so he could make a video of me.“You look a little too good,” he said, cocking his head to the side. Before I could speak, I saw his fist approach my stomach and I screamed at the impact. My baby! I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to shield my stomach from his raining blows.“Please stop,” I begged, forcing myself to fall to my knees so he would have access to my face instead.He plummeted blows on my face. I heard a sickening crack of my nose and I wailed. I felt blood trickling down my nose until I could taste it in my mouth. The door burst open and a woman stormed in. She pushed him away from me and pinned him to the wall. “What the fuck do you think you're doing?” She asked him in a low voice.“Oh come on Dee, she can take a couple of hits. She's the Don's wife,” he said with a scoff, pushing himself off of her.The woman leaned in closer to him and whispered something into his ear, making hi

    Luca's POVI slammed the glass on the wall, watching the shattered remains of the crystal tumbler litter the floor as the amber liquid seeped into the plush carpet. I stood motionless with my fists clenched at my sides. The silence in my study was broken only by the ticking of the antique clock that hung on the wall.It had been three days since Nazlynn ran off. Three days since I've had my men searching for her.She had nowhere to go to and no one to meet, so where could she have gone?A tentative knock sounded at the door. "Don Luca?" My jaw tightened. "What?" I snarled, not moving my gaze from the floor where the carpet had lapped up all the vodka.The door creaked open, revealing a shaking Gabriel. "Boss, I... the search teams have returned. There's no sign of her in any of the places we listed out."In two swift strides, I crossed the room and seized Gabriel by the collar. “I told you not to show your face to me, didn't I?” I hissed, slamming him against the wall. "You had one

    The butler's eyes widened in surprise as he opened the door. "Don Luca, we weren't expecting...""Where is he?" I demanded, brushing past the startled man."In his study, sir, but..."I didn't wait to hear the rest. I strode through the familiar halls, pushed aside the memories of my childhood. Without knocking, I threw open the door to my father's study. Manuel Alessandro looked up from his desk, one eyebrow raised in mild surprise. "Luca. What do I owe the pleasure?"My words came out in a rush. "Nazlynn's gone, I don't know where. I need your help. Your connections, your resources – anything that could bring her home."Manuel leaned back in his chair, regarding his son with an unreadable expression. "Sit down, Luca.""Padre, I don't have time to...""Sit. Down."The command in my father's voice was unmistakable. Reluctantly, I sank into the chair across from the desk.He studied me for a long moment before speaking. "Do you know why I stepped down, Luca? Why I handed the control o

    The insistent buzz of my phone cut through the silence that had covered the room. I glanced at the screen, brows furrowing at the unfamiliar number.With a growing sense of unease, I answered, stepping out of the room and into the hallway.“Ah! Don Luca. So good to finally speak with you, I'm sure you've gotten my message.”The voice on the other end was smooth, almost jovial. It sent a chill down my spine."Who is this?" I demanded, although a sinking feeling in my gut told me I already had my answer.He let out a low chuckle. "Come now, Luca. I think we both know who this is. It hasn't been that long."My free hand clenched into a fist. "Where the hell is my wife, you bastard?""Tsk, tsk. Such hostility. Your lovely wife is... shall we say, enjoying my hospitality for the moment. But her continued well-being…that depends entirely on you, my friend.""I'm not your friend," I growled. "What do you want?""What your pig-headed father refused to give me after all this time. The Marina D

    I had just finished washing my hands and was back to where my men stood over Alice's body when I saw a ball of colours approaching me with speed from a distance. My face softened when the ball of colours got closer to me. Nazlynn threw herself into my arms, almost knocking us both off balance. I hugged her tight, breathing in her calming scent and presence. She ran her hand up and down the nape of my neck, and I involuntarily relaxed into it. She squeezed me tighter in her arms, like she was scared to let go.I attempted pulling away to see her face but she shook her head and held on firmly to me. Chuckling, I pulled her closer in my arms, placing a kiss into her hair. When she pulled away, she raked her eyes over my body, running her hand over it at the same time. “Are you hurt anywhere? Did you get… Oh my God, you're bleeding,” she said fearfully, as her hand touched a wet patch on my shirt.“No baby, hey, relax. It's water, I just washed my arms. I'm okay, I promise.”She nodded.

    Elena ducked just in time for Enzo to aim for Alice's hand. The bullet went through her flesh, making her drop the gun and release her hold on Elena. She had pulled the trigger as her gun clattered to the ground.Alice glared at me, then looked at the door behind her through the corner of her eyes. I fired a shot as she pushed back into the door and into the library. I heard her groan that indicated my bullet had hit her but not enough to take her down.“I need someone in the rooms beneath and above the library. The rest of you secure this building in case there's a way outside of it. Gabriel, Enzo, with me,” I instructed before following behind her with my gun raised.Gabriel and Enzo walked silently behind me. When we got in, all the lights were turned off, making the library extremely dark. “You don't peg me as the ready type Alice. You can't exactly hide in there forever,” I called out as I walked further into the library.I silently cursed whoever had the idea of making a home

    Enzo shot bullets after, but she was no longer in sight. “Go!” I barked at my men who were staring at the place where she stood in shock. “Don't kill her,” I said as they passed by me. “That's for me.”If anything, I was glad we left that floor and were going back to the ground.“I don't know who's sloppier, you or your men,” I heard her call out, cackling. “You have a lot of guts, talking when that would only help us find you faster,” I said, nodding to my men to follow the sound of her voice.“What makes you think that's not what I want?” She asked in a cunning tone. I halted my men, clenching my jaw.Her words were suggestive. The only thing I could think of was that she may be setting up a bomb inside, or she may have already done it within the few minutes she had earlier. She seems to like playing with explosives.She was behind a door, and we had the door surrounded from a safe distance. I knew my men were waiting for me to give a go ahead so they could march in, but everybod

    I pulled Hailey out of her crib and into my arms, cradling her shakily. My eyes darted from Alice’s face to the door and back.Alice took a step towards me, and I scooted back on the floor, ignoring the stab of pain as my skin dragged across the shards of glass. “What's wrong? Waiting for hubby, or should I say your prince charming to save the day again?” She let out a menacing laugh. “Lucky for me, it's currently an all girl’s house.”“Please don't hurt my baby, I beg you, Alice,” I pleaded just as Hailey started to cry from the noise she had heard. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the door to the bathroom open slightly, and Enzo peeked into the room.He gave me a small nod. Once I saw him raise his gun, I ducked, covering Hailey with my entire body. Alice was faster than him, but unfortunately, she managed to dodge the bullets that Enzo rained down on her until she ran out through the door and into the main house.“Fuck,” he swore loudly, rushing to my side.“Are you okay?

    Nazlynn’s POVAlice was certainly a girl who clearly didn't want to be found. Luca had his contacts pull some strings in the police department to put up a surveillance on her, but nothing has turned up so far. Nothing of essence was discovered at the house that Luca had found me in. Of course, his contacts in the police force had to cover up using some story about a robbery gone wrong. The bodies had already been taken care of by the time they arrived at the scene.I was up to speed at everything that was happening in no time. Elena and Mathias decided to have a small wedding but postponed it until after the whole Alice thing had been dealt with. Luca cleared things up with his father, and they were back to having their weird love-hate father-son thing. Whatever the hell that meant. I was about to convince Luca not to kill my so-called birth father. It's the least I could do since he saved my life.Our mansion was almost completely back on its feet, and we moved back in two days be

    “What do you mean you couldn't find her?” I asked shakily. Luca gave me a concerned look.“Luca, what do you mean by that?” I asked again, scooting towards the head of the bed and away from him.“Hey Nazlynn, calm down, baby. I'm right here, and I'm not going to let anyone hurt you, okay?” He said, reaching out to me.I smacked his hand away before it could come in contact with my skin. “No! No, no. She's going to kill me. She's going to kill us all. My baby. Where's my baby?” I asked hysterically. Luca shot up from his position on the chair and approached me carefully. I could see concern for me in his eyes.“Wh..where's Hailey?” I stammered as tears started streaming down my face. “Dr Martin!” Luca said, trying not to shout too loudly but making sure his voice was loud enough. He kept his eyes on me. He edged closer to me until I was cowered up by a corner of the bed. “Gabriel, get Dr. Martin now!” He yelled again.I grabbed his hand tightly, and I could feel my fingernails diggi

    Nazlynn’s POVLuca stared at me in shock for over a minute but didn't even give himself some time to answer me before standing up and yelling for Dr. Martin. I had expected to wake up to the pungent smell of a hospital room and the faint beeping of machines that had been working tirelessly to keep me alive but the room I was in looked like the average bedroom. Bright light seeped through the window, casting a glow over the space.As I struggled to sit up, the sharp pain shot through my whole body made me groan. Luca was back by my side in a flash. His gentle hand grasped my shoulder, easing me back onto the pillow.“Take it easy, chica bella. You'll rip your stitches,” he whispered softly. It had been so long since I heard his voice that I wanted to cry at the sound. It felt like music to my ears. Dr. Martin dashed in, greeting me with a smile before she began to do some further checks on me. It was extremely strange to hear someone tell you “welcome back to the living”. It should b

    “Baby, can you hear me?” I asked, tightening my grip on her hand so I wouldn't miss any motion.“Gabriel,” I bellowed, and he scrambled in. “Get Dr. Martin here now! Tell her my wife moved,” I said without looking back.I heard no movement after a few seconds, and when I turned, I was met with a wide-eyed Gabriel who was staring at me with shock.Moving closer to her on the bed, I spoke again. “If you can hear me, can you tap me with your finger again?” There was nothing but I stayed put. It was a very uncomfortable position for me, holding Hailey up with one arm while the other was stretched out to her mother, but I was way past the point of caring.It was like Hailey knew something had just happened. She twisted her neck to see what I was doing.“She's here,” Gabriel announced barely five minutes after he had left. I frowned. That was fast.“Hey Luca. I was already on my way here when he called me. What's going on?” Dr Martin said, clearing my confusion as she approached us on the

    “You found him?” I asked, shocked to hear it. “How?”Mathias gave me a look. “On my list of ten possible things you would say first, that certainly wasn't a part of it. Is there something else I should know, Luca?”I sighed in resignation. “He's her father Mathias, her birth father, and I think she should have a say in what we do with him,” I said truthfully. “Is he in our custody yet or….” I trailed off.“Not yet. We wanted to receive instructions from you first. I have guys watching and trailing his every move. He's been acting scared as fuck and I don't think it's just you he's afraid of,” he said.“Alice?” He nodded.“That girl must be a total nutcase. I can't help but wonder just what happened there. The only person who can tell us is well, not available,” I said looking at Nazlynn.“She's stronger than you give her credit for, I know she is. She'll pull through,” he said, giving me a pat on the back before standing up. He was almost at the door when he turned. “Come with me.”
