MORENO’S POVI left the doctor's office with my head hung low, I couldn’t think straight and my head was spinning. How could I possibly tell Bella that I put her and our baby at risk because of a mistake I made in the past, I couldn’t bring myself to tell her. I was terrified and ashamed. I slumped on the chair outside the room trying to gather my thoughts, but all I could think about was the horror on Bella’s face when she found out the truth.Mateo walked up to me, “How did it go boss?” He asked. “Everything is fine, she just needs to rest,” I could see the worry in Mateo’s eye, I didn’t want to lie to him, but I couldn’t bring myself to tell him the truth. I knew he didn’t believe me but he didn’t push the issue. I took a deep breath got up and walked into the room Bella was in. She was already awake when I saw her face, all I wanted to do was tell her the truth, but instead, I forced a smile. “Hey cupcake, how are you feeling?” I asked putting on my best smile to hide how I felt i

MORENO’S POVAfter bathing and dressing, we ate dinner and went to check up on Gustavo, then Bella and I went back into our room, just the two of us.As soon as we entered the room, I closed my eyes and took a deep calming breath. I didn’t want to lie to Bella anymore, I knew I would have to tell her the truth eventually. “Come here,” I said and she sat on my lap obediently. I knew she was waiting for what I was going to say.“I brought you both here to keep you safe,” I started and I searched her face for any form of reaction, when there was none I continued. I plan to do something very dangerous and it wouldn’t be safe back home. I would not be able to live with myself if anything happened to you both, the weight of that responsibility will crush me and haunt me forever,” I said squeezing her hands softly, my thumbs tracing circles on her skin. “I came so close to losing you once and I won’t let that happen again, the mere thought of reliving that terror is unbearable.”“You should

When I first met Mateo we were both kids and he was always by my side even while I built my empire to where it was today, I had always treated him like Familia.
