MenaEstelle’s lips curled, and I had the sudden urge to smack that smirk right off her face. “I think you know what the deal is,” she said. “I do want you to know that it was a one-time thing, and it won’t happen again.”I eyed her strangely. The information matched what Alessio had told me, and I believed him. Their encounter had occurred during a time when we weren’t officially together—but I couldn’t get myself to trust her.I chuckled to myself. Here I was, worrying about Estelle damaging the relationship which was already hanging by a thread."I work for him, and that’s it. You don’t have to worry about me," Estelle reassured me, but I could see through her fakeness.“I wasn’t worrying about you,” I snorted. “I have other things to worry about. You weren’t even on my mind.”At least not until I had laid my eyes on her.Worst case scenario, Alessio might decide she fit in his world way better than I ever could, and settle for her by the evening. He could make me pack my bags and

MenaI remained quiet as Alessio led me through the garden back to the ballroom. Meanwhile, my mind raced, wondering what he was planning to do, and what he so desperately needed to show me to convince me that we would not be able to push our issues aside.His hand was still wrapped around mine as he walked to the back and he raised his hand to ask for attention. “Everyone,” he called out loudly.Anxiety filled my stomach as I tried to prepare myself for whatever was about to happen. Why would he need an audience to prove me wrong?The music stopped abruptly, and all eyes turned in our direction. It was silent, and everyone was curious. "Dad, come here," Alessio beckoned.Domenico, along with the rest of the Fanuccis, including Gian and Dante, made their way over. As they gathered around, I noticed a large curtain behind us. I wondered what would be behind it, and it added to my worries.Why were we standing in front of it?"I can give you a speech, but I won’t because there’s no need

MenaLeaning against the door, I closed my eyes as I waited impatiently. The silence from inside was killing me, and with each minute ticking by—I had yet to hear a reaction from Alessio.My mind raced with all sorts of thoughts about what he might be doing, what he might be thinking, and so on. I only knew one thing, and that was that a reaction would come.It had to because describing Alessio as anything but a hothead would be an understatement.I had already concluded he was crazy, and that was putting it mildly.As more minutes passed, my anxiety grew. The longer the silence, the worse I feared his outburst would be. Now that I sat on my own, I had time to think about my feelings and once again realized that bothering him with this news, especially tonight after he had a few drinks, might not have been a smart decision.After my talk with Gian in the car, it became obvious that the topic of betrayal was something sensitive to this family. It was for that reason that Grandpa Fanucc

Mena“Before and after,” I spoke without a second thought. “I told you, we might not always agree—but I love you, and I’ll have your back, no matter what.”In that moment, I realized I had already made my decision—and this time I hoped he could hear my sincerity. This was the path I chose—to stand by Alessio no matter what, and I would not go back on my word ever again.“I’m with you.”Alessio released a relieved sigh. "And you’ll have to be patient with me because I clearly still have a lot to learn—but I do know that I have to stop you from whatever you planned on doing because I can’t lose you," I continued, my voice softening.The gun might’ve been lowered, but his rage wasn’t. His breaths were heavy, and I could sense it took him every bone in his body to stay calm.I reached up and cupped his face, gently forcing him to look at me. "I know it’s difficult, but you need to relax.”I slowly took his hand and led it to my stomach, reminding him of the other news I had just shared wi

MenaWaking up in Alessio's arms felt as comfortable as I remembered. It had been a long time since I had done that, and now I knew to cherish this feeling.He was still asleep, which was unusual for him. Alessio was an early bird. He must’ve been really exhausted with everything going on. His ability to sleep despite the stress surprised me because he was the type who usually couldn't rest if something was bothering him.Smiling softly, I gently drew circles on his chest with my finger. Despite everything that had happened, we made sure to have a proper reunion last night. I had missed his touch, the way he made me feel—everything.It was something we both needed before we would dive any deeper into this Isaac hole.Afterwards we talked for a long time. I told him about everything regarding my trip to Towson—how I visited Isaac’s ex-wife and what she had told me. I could tell it was tough for Alessio to hear all this. He tried to keep calm, to hide his emotions, but I could see he wa

Alessio“Daddy!”Naty’s voice filled the halls as she burst through the door, Melody and Mom trailing behind her. She ran into my arms, and I scooped her up before twirling her around in a big hug. As always, she greeted me with cheerful giggles. I had a fucked-up day yesterday, the days before that, and today would be no different—but if there was someone who managed to make me smile, it was her.“Hey!” Mena laughed beside me, playfully snatching Naty from my arms. “You mean, Mommy!” she corrected her with a grin.“Yes, Mommy!” Naty planted kisses on her cheek. Watching them together did something to my heart, and knowing we would soon have a new addition to our family felt like a blessing.I greeted Mom and Melody with the same energy, but soon after, my spirits sank. How could they not when the one I had referred to as a brother turned out to be a fed?“Where’s your dad?” Mom asked, pulling me back from my thoughts."He wanted to visit Stefano’s grave one last time," I told her. He

AlessioDante inhaled sharply, then exhaled slowly, his usually sweet expression hardening. "Are you fucking with me?" he asked, waiting for the part where I would tell him it’s a joke—but it never came."Gian’s little trip was to collect evidence. Mena has a whole folder and everything, so even if I want to deny it…""You can’t," Dante finished for me.It was silent for a moment as I thought about how far Gian and Mena had gone to gather evidence. I figured they must have done it because Gian knew how highly I thought of Levi—or Isaac. I had really put him on a high pedestal, and had always been good to him. I respected him so much, both Gian and Mena thought I would’ve believed his word over theirs—but I would’ve never done that.They could’ve told me without any evidence, and I would’ve believed them—because they meant more to me than they could ever think.Although I wasn’t the best in expressing my feelings to them, my brothers meant the world to me."Does Dad know?" Dante asked,

AlessioI looked at Donni, not knowing where to begin. We had gathered in the basement. Dante, Mena, and Pilar were also present—and I could sense Donni’s nerves as all eyes were on him. Everyone else in the room knew what was going to happen and were probably anticipating his reaction as much as I had. They were all aware of how close Donni had been to Isaac.Gian had already left on a three-day errand with him. If anything, he deserved a gold medal for being able to spend any more time with that con artist. Personally, I knew I wouldn’t be able to handle it.“Do I have something on my face or…?” Donni’s eyes moved side to side."Donni, I’m going to tell you something—and I need you to promise that this basement will stay intact.”Mena let out a small chuckle, probably remembering the state I had left our room in after reading through those papers. I had been a wreck."Is that the reason why all of you are looking so pale?" Donni joked, trying to lighten the mood, but his voice betra
