71. Stronger

Enzo Denver. My plan was to tell her the truth after resolving the conflict with my father over what I did without his permission. However, that plan has now changed.I understand Kayla's desires and needs, but I couldn't bear to see her cry anymore. She's pregnant, and my mother was right. Kyla's pregnancy hormones may cause a rift in her system."Enzo…" There's a ghost in the way she looked at me.My jaw tightened, and once again, I held her hand."She's not your mother, Kyla." It hurt me to see a sorrowful expression in her eyes. She smiled a little bit and let go of my hand."This is not funny, Enzo. I have no time for this." She avoided making eye contact and turned away from me.I heaved, looking at her, struggling with what to say next that wouldn't hurt her so much. But how? This is what it is. This is the reality of her life—those who use her must be punished. I could never forgive them!"I'm sorry, darling, but she isn't your mother," I clarified once more."Kylie is aware

72. Mother

Kyla Eva.My tears flowed constantly as I hugged my mother tightly, with Nay Meline crying behind her.I couldn't believe it. My birth mother was the one I'd visited before. She was Nay Meline's dear friend who was in the mental care facility for two decades.I still remember everything that Nay Meline told me about her. My mother's family neglected her and placed her in a mental facility, where she suffered a traumatic accident that led to the erasure of her memories.How could this happen? What did she do to deserve this? My poor mother…"You are so beautiful, dear." She gently touched the side of my face and wiped away my tears."Your face is familiar to me. You look like my daughter, my eldest one. She's got plump cheeks like yours. Her eyes were beautiful like yours… so beautiful," she sweetly smiled while surveying my whole face.I couldn't keep my tears from flowing. It hurts like hell to see my mother like this."I had twins, but I forgot what the other one looks like. . . Y

73. The difference

Enzo’s POV.“How could you make a move without informing me? You have no idea who you’re dealing with!” My father’s eyebrows met as he looked at me sharply.I stood in front of him, unwavering.I dislike seeking my father’s approval. It’s something I really prefer not to do. If I can handle things on my own, I will do so without needing my father’s assistance.“It’s alright, Dad. Diezel and Morris are helping me, and it’s all under control.”“Under control? That’s stupid! How many times have I told you that we must not enter the world of the mafia, my son! I don’t bloody care about the others! But your cousins, Morris and Diezel? What do you think will happen if the elders find out about this?”I felt my jaw tighten, and I looked away. This rule from the elders really bothers me. Dammit. I couldn’t care less about it!“But she’s the mother of the woman I love, Dad. I’m not a heartless jerk who will do nothing to correct their corrupt minds. I will not turn a blind eye to my wife’s mo

74. Confront

Kyla Eva.I Island was not that far. It's a private one owned by Morris, one of Enzo's cousins. It's beautiful here. The sand is white, and the water is crystal clear. Morris Paradise stood in the middle with high securities all over the place. There's no escape here because everything around is surrounded by water.Kylie was tied up when I entered the room. She was asleep but looked well. There are no marks of abuse on her skin—quite the opposite of how I was treated back then.I sighed as I looked at her in silence. Enzo signaled the two guards, who slowly let go of Kylie's tie and untied her.I looked at Kylie once more and realized that I no longer had sisterly feelings for her. After what she did to me and our birth mother, I no longer feel sorry for her.She showed no remorse for her past actions and lacked sympathy for our real mother.How could she do this? I've been wondering what's going on with her. Where is her innocence? Maybe she has lost touch with her inner child, bec

75. Welcome

Kyla Eva.My mother was in the garden beside the house, smiling sweetly while admiring the beautiful flowers in front of her. Her personal nurse was behind her, holding the wheelchair."Mum!" I hugged and kissed her."Oh? K-Kyla?" Her face lights up when our eyes meet."Yes, it's me. How are you?""I'm good. I'm happy that I see you now. I miss you…""And I miss you too, Mum. I'm glad you came to the Island. Did you follow me all the way here?" My eyes sparkled with excitement, and I momentarily forgot about Kylie.Mum looked at the person behind me. It was Enzo. I composed myself and whirled my body to see him."I told Nay Meline to come here. Rex fetches them at the facility," Enzo explained."I see. . .""It's good for her to see the ocean and—""I don't know about that." I cut Enzo off and looked at him seriously. I don't think it's a good idea for our mother to see Kylie as her condition is not good and she's hysterical at the moment.Enzo nodded in agreement. "It's beautiful h

76. Trouble

Enzo Denver.My mother kept pacing back and forth, biting her nails. My father looked serious, thinking of something. I gritted my teeth as I couldn't clear my mind. I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to be this way.Santiago Delamares raided Morris's warehouse down the west, and a few people were injured. Kingston, the person in charge, was there, protecting the warehouse and fighting against Santiago's people.

77. Unconditionally

Kyla Eva."What happened?" I was shocked as I looked at Nay Meline, who was crying.I ran towards her and hugged her tightly. "Where's mom?" I looked behind her to see if mother was with her, but none. Nay Meline was alone but accompanied by Enzo's father's bodyguards."Your mother is fine, Kyla. I moved her to a different facility with much more secure security this time." Enzo answered behind me. I let go of Nay Meline and looked at him with worry.Today was supposed to be a visit to them earlier, but Enzo had an emergency, so we canceled. Instead of me going to where my mother is, Nay Meline came as a surprise, escorted by Enzo's father's security.I was afraid to ask him, lacking the courage to confront my fears. I didn't want to hear any bad news about my mother, Nay Meline, or the others."We're safe, Kyla. Diezel sacrificed himself to protect us, my dear," Nay Meline said, and I looked at Enzo in shock.What's happening? Why am I the last person to know what's going on?"I'm w

78. Embrace

Enzo Denver."I understand…" After my conversation with my mother, I felt the weight of my destiny settles on my shoulders. Fear no longer held me captive. I knew I had to face it. This was my purpose, and there was no escape. If sacrificing myself was the only way to protect those I love, I was ready to embrace it.I remained passive, waiting for the operation to conclude. My mother was vigilant, monitoring everyone in the line, gathering information from my father. Meanwhile, my grandfather was on the move, ready to eliminate the Delamares clan. All I could do was wait, hoping that no lives would be lost in this high-stakes game.After two days, my grandfather won. This victory is not new anymore. I know my grandfather's capability.

79. Duke

Enzo Denver.One thing that is currently troubling me is the idea of meeting Nonno, my grandfather. I still recall that his realm is off-limits to my mother and me. My mother has chosen a different path in life. She married into the Mondragon family, who are noble but not royalty.My mother's love for my father is a testament to the power of love. She never regretted giving up her noble status, choosing to marry my father and creating a world where her love for him was her everything.Mum possesses a unique discernment. She can easily see through lies and pretense, a skill honed from dealing with the various personalities of high-status individuals during her time under her father's care.Today, only Kyla, my mother, and I are traveling. My grandfather ruled that my father was not allowed to set foot here."We are here!" My mother exclaimed calmly, and my head moved to Kyla beside me.

80. Position

Enzo Denver.Grandfather's mighty king chair, with its rich mahogany hue, faced the expansive glass window that overlooked the serene garden.When Mum's voice, filled with anticipation, called out to him, his chair seemed to pivot in slow motion, and his smile, warm and comforting, sent a wave of nostalgia through my entire being."Dad…" Mum hugged him immediately like a child who had missed her father for years. It's been two decades since they last saw each other, and I'm sure Mum misses Grandfather so much."My dear child," he said in his solid baritone voice. He stood up, opened his arms, and embraced mum.As my mother and grandfather hugged, I fought to keep a calm facade. Kyla, sensing my tension, squeezed my hand tightly. She looked at them with joy, unaware of the complexities of our family history."You look well, Dad," Mum complimented him."Is that so?" Grandfather slightly laughed and paused when his eyes darted on us. He then walked closer to me and Kyla."Milord Enzo De
