After I'm done with breakfast, Ryan hands me a piece of paper on my way out. This reminds me I have to get a new phone. Aside from Marco, I don't have anyone else to talk to. And being phoneless comes in handy when men try to hit on me. My generic reply these days is,

"I lost my phone and I'm in the process of replacing it." The clever ones get the hint and the persistent ones give me their business cards.

Although, if Giovanni or anyone wants to find me, it wouldn't be that hard. I understand how powerful my family is. It's worse now that I have Damiano as a brother-in-law. He used to be a cop so he definitely knows people who can help him easily find me.

I'm just hoping they'll leave me alone since there is nothing for me back there. Deciding to get a phone another day, I look at the paper Ryan gave me. The word observatory stands out the most. One world observatory. It sounds boring. I'll start there and then figure out my next destination.

When I arrive, I understand why Rya

    "It was nice doing business with you De Luca. See you around" Lowell says getting up. He's one of the people I trust with my business in this country because of his connections. So once in a while, I make a point of coming to see him personally, to make sure he's not doing anything tricky that could jeopardize my investments. We shake hands before he leaves the restaurant. Fabian enters and sits opposite me. "Where to sir?" "We pick up Val. I don't like the idea of leaving him in a daycare with strangers" I've made it a habit of not staying away from my son for too long. Whenever I go on business trips, I make sure to get back quickly or take him with me. This time he came along, not because we'd be here for long but because I wanted to spend more time with him. Raising Tommaso made me realize how fast children grow. I don't want to miss anything important in Val's life. I want to experience his first steps, first words. All the firsts. I'll make sure I don't regret not being the

    I'm impatient to get home so I can pick a dress to wear. On my way back from the daycare, I bumped into this guy who was giving out flyers for a newly opened club. It reminded me of the decision I made during the weekend to go back to my old, sexy, confident self. Clubs and parties used to be my thing. I enjoyed being called the Lombardi princess. The privileges that came with it made my life tolerable. Now that I'm not trying to tolerate anything, why not try to live like other single women? The anxiety swirling in my stomach has me skipping to the building. In my head, I'm going through my closet, trying to see if I have something sexy to wear. But the moment I step out of the elevator, my stomach drops. "Why are you here? And what's with the bags?" Marco smiles "I thought I could stay with you for a while" "Did something happen to the hotel you were staying in?" I ask, still reluctant to move. Stay with me? This is a little selfish of me, considering I stayed in his house fo

    He tells the driver to give him a minute before turning to face me "For what?" "Being a bitch. I don't have any excuse except that I was born this way. Forgive me?" "Done," he replies, then bends down to kiss me, but something bumps on my back. I should thank whoever that person is. Inviting Marco to stay with me doesn't change anything between us. I still want a fresh start, and I'm going to get it. Unfortunately, we just weren't meant to be. "Sorry, ma'am," a guy says, walking past us. He's carrying a box, too. Which floor are they going to anyway? "Let's go back inside and talk" As Marco is taking his things out of the backseat, I catch a glimpse of a man in a suit. It's New York. A lot of people wear suits, so it shouldn't be surprising, but for some reason, it is. His back looks familiar. Where have I... "Come on," Marco grabs my hands and leads me back inside. The elevator is full, so we have to wait for the movers to go up first. Before the door closes, I realize one

    "You idiot! I didn't tell you to bump into her but him. What if she'd gotten hurt?" "I'm sorry sir" "Get back to work" I snap at him even though it wasn't really his fault. Marco was standing between Carina and the cab so there was no way he could have bumped into him. On the bright side, at least he stopped them from kissing. I hate that he has the right to do that and I don't, when in fact, she is still my wife. Any other man would have marched to where they were and demanded that bastard get his hands off her. But I won't, can't do that. If I ever want to get Carina back, I'll have to put my jealousy on a leash and pretend like her relationship with Marco doesn't bother me. I have to show her that I've changed. The asshole she once knew is no more. In his place is a man who is ready to do anything to repent for his sins. Luckily, Fabian found a great realtor who managed to convince Carina's neighbor to move out. I offered the guy double the market price and he couldn't leave

    This is what I get for trying to be nice. If I'd killed that bitch Violetta the first day she came back, I wouldn't be dealing with this shit. Not only did she not leave, but she also came to Tommaso's school. Sitting in the car, I watch as she strikes conversation with him, not afraid that I might catch her. Does she think I won't kill her? Giving birth to my son doesn't make her his mother. Why won't she get that through her thick head? "Take Tommaso home" I order the guys climbing out of the car. She has her back to me so she doesn't see me approaching them. Now I know Tommaso saw me the moment I arrived but he didn't bother acknowledging my presence, which makes me wonder why. He should have waved or something. Is this bitch filling his head with lies? I will fucking chop her nipples off if she tries to alienate him from me "Get in the car" I say startling her. Slowly, she turns around to look at me. "Nev" "You know the drill kid. Wash up, eat then do your homework" "I know

    "Good morning" "I made breakfast. Come sit down" "I'm running late Marco. Sorry I can't have breakfast with you" "But I made it for you. At least have a bite before you leave" I hesitate, not wanting to give him the wrong idea. He said he wanted to try even after I told him his efforts would be fruitless. After seeing Cris's apparition in the elevator, I spent an hour walking around trying to clear my mind. To figure out what was wrong with me. Why was I thinking about him while pushing Marco away at the same time? I'd decided I wanted nothing more to do with the world they both live in. I'm trying to be normal, independent, and happy. When was the last time I'd woken up feeling happy? The answer I got didn't sit well with me. Because it had to do with the person I should be hating but don't When I got back, we decided that it would be better if he slept on the couch. Unconsciously, I found myself locking the door before going to sleep. We both know he heard me doing it and

    "How was it?" "How was what?" Seth asks blandly handing me Val and I want to punch him. I spent all day feeling anxious, wondering if Carina saw them and how she reacted. But he's trying to play coy with me. "Did she see you?" "Who? Your wife?" "No, the president. Of course, I'm talking about Carina. Did you meet her?" He walks past me shrugging "No idea. I was busy trying not to drop the kid to pay attention to anyone. What do you feed him? He doesn't look like it but he weighs a ton" "Seth" "She was just arriving with her boyfriend when we came in" At that, I rush to the living room, grab the remote, turn on the TV, and manage to see them going inside her apartment. The camera I installed at the door is quite useful. It's not just for spying but for protection too. Being on this side of the world doesn't mean I'm out of reach. My enemies can get to me wherever I am. Besides, I don't feel comfortable living in a place that doesn't have security. Especially now that Fabia

    "Are you busy? Let's go shopping" "Not today Mom," I say flipping impatiently through the magazine on my lap "I'm waiting for Giovanni to come home" "Giovanni? I thought you were calling him dad these days" "Yeah, well not anymore" Besides, I was only doing that in case I needed any favors from him. Money-related favors. Now? I don't give a crap about his money because I realized he's never going to change. Everything he does is for his own benefit. "Did something happen?" "Nothing you should concern yourself with" She will worry to death if I tell her that Lombardi is still alive. Even if he won't be breathing for long. Nev, Cristiano's right hand assured me that he'd take care of him. He called me asking if I knew where Giovanni was because they didn't want him showing up at that house while they were still inside. Although, I wonder why they even have to go inside. Wouldn't it be easier to find a hitman or a sharpshooter? So that if the person is caught, he can't be linke

    "Can you stop calling? I've already told you that I'm not leaving her""Why not? You can find someone better. I bumped into Mrs Perella, you know the politician? And she told me her daughter..."I hang up and block her number. My mother has changed but I can't say I'm surprised. Her dislike towards Marianna doubled ever since she came to live with us and she tried to set me up with other women when she heard me lashing out at her. Because I was just lashing out when I told her we were over.Aurelia's death was a shock to me. In my eyes, she was still a child who was grieving the only family she had. Shooting Carina was a mistake but I thought letting her live would help her repent. I also felt responsible for dragging Aurora back. Truth is, she didn't want to go back. She'd saved up enough money and wanted to leave with Aurelia but because of my investigation, I convinced her coming back was the right thing to do.I told her Lombardi would never let her go and the only way she could be

    Marianna That bitch! She's dead when she wakes up. I got a call from Simona asking me to go to the hotel because they'd just found me a rich husband, but when I got there, they were all out. Those morons had the time of their lives last night while I was busy babysitting. Not that the kid was problematic. Change his diaper, feed him, turn on the TV and he won't bother you. The only problem was that he was up by four in the morning. No matter what I did, he wouldn't go back to sleep.So I decided to return him. I was looking forward to party too but I can't do that alone and I don't want to drink with strangers. Now what? Without a distraction, I'll end up thinking about that asshole and probably call him. Can't have that. The only thing I can do is go back downstairs and have breakfast. I'll decide what to do after that. At the restaurant, I order a full breakfast and I'm in the middle of handing the menu back to the waitress when I notice some guy watching me.Judgi

    My eyes snap open when something heavy lands on my face. I have to jerk my head back to see what it is. Not a what but a who. Val. Marianna is standing next to the bed her face filled with disgust. She did not just dump the kid on my face "What the fuck?" "Sorry to burst your little bubble but I'm done babysitting" "Where is Fabian?" Cris asks sitting up and pulling Val into his arms. I've never seen anything so beautiful. His muscles flex when he lifts him in the air and I have this urge to run my hands on the leathery skin. Leave marks on them so everyone knows he's taken. Fatherhood suits him. "He left claiming he was busy" "Couldn't you have waited until later? It's seven in the morning" "I could. But knowing that you're here enjoying your married life while mine is falling apart didn't sit well with me so here we are" "Aren't you the one who pushed us back together?" "I regret it. If I'd known what would happen, I wouldn't have lifted a finger. That way we'd

    "Why isn't he picking up?" "Maybe he's busy? Val can be a handful sometimes" Soriano offers and I want to punch him. Since when is Cris too busy for me? Also, I wasn't talking to him. Why did he feel the need to answer? Dumbass. "Don't you have something to do or somewhere to be?" "Nope. It's my off day today" "Great. Can you go have it elsewhere?" who invented off days again? Oh wait, it was me. I thought it would be a good idea for the guys to have one day off to spend with their families or bitches but now I realize that it was a mistake. These kinds of employees don't need off days. Hanging up, I call Fabian. He picks up on the first ring. For the millionth time, I wonder why he's so glued to Cris. Obviously, I'm the better guy between us. Loving, considerate, appreciative- is that even a word? Any way. I would totally treat him well if he was my guy. When we went to kill Lombardi, I thought we'd bonded and tried to get him to come to work for me but he flat-out turned me

    I was prepared for this. Lashing out at me whenever she is unhappy or angry. It will take some time for her to completely forgive me so until then I can't do anything but take everything she throws at me. But fuck, it hurts. Knowing that I let her down and I can never change it. If only I could turn time back. "I never stopped caring" "Sorry. I was just shocked" "Why did you let her go?" "Because Damiano asked me to. He said she didn't know that I was pregnant. Besides, killing her wouldn't change anything. It's not like I can be pregnant again" No, she can't. "Come on. Your sister bought a lot of food. I wonder if she was planning on locking us in here for a week" I change the subject because it feels like now isn't the right time to talk about Leone. Someday we will be able to talk about him comfortably without it being too much for her. At least I hope so. "She's an idiot. Luckily she's with Fabian or God knows what would happen to your son" "Paulo and your friends are here

    "You're the one who wants to wait." "Not anymore" He pulls back to take off my dress. Making me realize that he's still fully dressed while I'm completely naked. "Don't you think you're overdressed for the occasion?" "I can't wait any longer," he says spinning me around. My eyes connect with his in the mirror and the wicked smile on his lips is enough to let me know what he's thinking. I hear the sound of a zipper then his hot, hard cock is between my crack. He spreads my cheeks open, wedging himself between them, and starts to slowly move up and down. Lord, that feels good. With his eyes still on mine, he reaches up to caress my breasts, pinching my nipples and sending a bolt of heat straight to my pussy. There's something erotic about watching him play with my body. Watching both our reactions to his ministrations. Especially since I'm naked and he's still dressed. It feels like I'm his plaything. Like he can't be bothered to get undressed because he knows I'll accept him either

    Did being a father change him so much? It's been more than an hour and he hasn't touched me which is unlike Cris. The man I know couldn't keep his hands off me. We were like rabbits who fucked anywhere and everywhere. Has he changed or am I not desirable anymore? Did I get old and lose my sex appeal? I'm not even thirty yet. How could he lose interest so fast? He made me sit next to him at the dining table and all he's done is hold my hand. Jumping up, I rush to the bathroom. I was pregnant but never got to breastfeed so my breasts aren't saggy. They're still firm just like how they used to be. And I haven't lost my waist yet. It's still there. I turn around several times to make sure that I'm not lying to myself. Since I came here, I haven't tried dieting or going to the gym. Maybe I gained a little..."What are you doing?" He asks leaning on the door, making me jump. "Fuck, you scared the living daylights out of me" "Are you looking for something?" "Yes. My sexiness

    "Last chance, Cris. If you mess it up, I'll send you to hell myself" Damn it! Who was I kidding? I never had a chance. Maybe provoking him wasn't a good idea. If I hadn't talked to him, he would have continued his play. Giving me more time to convince her that I am the better choice. Then again, who's to say she would have given in? Actions speak louder than words. She doesn't trust me. Locking her door was a clear sign that she didn't feel safe with me. I can't help but wonder what would have happened if I hadn't let her go the first time we met. Why does she keep going back to him? He'll hurt her again. I know he will. Turning off the laptop, I take my car keys and leave. She needs to come back to her senses. After everything that bastard did, how could she forgive him? It's okay if she doesn't want to be with me but he's not right for her either. He left when she needed him the most and he will do it again. "Sir" "What?" "She's still waiting for you in the lobby" Damn th

    I'm curious to know if they've made up but I don't want to disturb them in case they're in the middle of it. Carina just needed a little shove to see that she still loved her husband. I know the other guy, Marco, has done a lot for her but he honestly scares me. Cris is on our level. If we put our minds to it, we could destroy his business and leave him penniless. As a matter of fact, if he does something stupid again, that's what I'll do. But Marco? He's too powerful. He doesn't go around showing it but Damiano told me about him and I was shocked. If someone like that were to date my sister, of course, we would be known as the most powerful family. But it would also mean that we couldn't do anything without his permission. I thought about it really hard. About who would make Carina happy. Maybe I'm judging Marco too harshly but I don't think he can do it. She doesn't look at him the same way she looks at Cris. At first, I just wanted to mess around with her and see if there was a
