Chapter 131

MenaStunned by the force in Alessio’s voice, Gian instantly fell silent. I realized what Alessio had done. It was a 5 against 1 vote, because I knew he was also against it, but he had chosen me over the group’s decision.Why would he do that?“Mena,” Alessio called out my name.Understanding what had to be done, I grabbed my phone and searched for Jessica’s number.Alessio took the scissors from Gian’s tight grip and made his way to Isaac to press the scissors to his neck. Gian, who had not moved a muscle since he had been yelled at, followed his every move with a vicious look in his eyes.“Don’t do anything stupid,” Alessio hissed at Isaac.I dialed Jessica’s number and put the phone on speaker, holding it out so everyone could hear. The line beeped twice, and then someone answered. “Hello?” I recognized Jessica’s voice."Jess, it’s me," Isaac’s face lit up a bit."No, I don’t want to talk to you—" Jessica began."Please, please—just hear me out!" Isaac spoke, sounding desperate."W

Mena“Someone had to do it,” Gian clicked his tongue, speaking as if he had just fixed a minor error, and not ended a life.With my back still turned, I looked from Pilar to Dante. I knew this had to be done, but for some reason, everything about Gian made me sick.I could see the look in all of their eyes.Dante, Donni—even Pilar. You couldn’t tell me he didn’t make them sick as well?“Get out,” Alessio commanded. He sounded angry, pissed—but I did not know why, because if Gian hadn’t done this, he would’ve done it himself.“What?” Gian chuckled.“Just go home, I’ll clean up here,” Alessio spoke, his tone more calmly this time.“Gladly!” Gian responded. “He got what he deserved, and now my job is done here.”Disgusting.“Yes, it is,” Alessio said. “Donni, you stay here—Gian, take Mena with you—““No!” I opposed. My heart raced, and anger flared up inside of me. How could he suggest I leave with Gian after what that monster had just done?“Don’t tell me to go with him,” I nearly plead

MenaAfter the strange women had come for Isaac, we followed them through the guarded woods and pulled up to a hidden mansion. The mansion was massive, with tall, bright windows that let in streams of sunlight.It was tucked away to the point I wondered how anyone ever found their way here. Outside, there was a large group of people working, gardening—and most of them didn’t look different from the nurses who came to save Isaac.It made me think again.Who did he call?Now we were waiting in a lounge, decorated with beautiful flowers and a lot of green. The air was fresh, the people were nice—so far, so good. Nothing strange.When I first heard Alessio decided to bring Isaac here, to this person he hadn’t mentioned by name, I felt a chill throughout my body. Strangely enough, now that we were here—I felt at ease and comfortable.More than I had been the first day I entered the Fanucci mansion.The only thing less peaceful was waiting for any news on Isaac’s condition. He had to hold o

MenaJulian walked over to his little bar and showed off his three special bottles. "What do you want to drink? Tell me.”I examined each bottle, picking it up to inspect it closer before letting out a deep sigh. I knew I couldn’t touch it, but looking would be alright. “I think I should probably take the one without alcohol.”He looked surprised. "You don’t drink?" Julian questioned."I do...just not now," I replied, setting the bottle back down gently.As Julian looked down at my stomach, I wondered if he knew what I meant. “Hmm,” he hummed, not going into it any further. He grabbed another bottle, waving it in the air.“I think this one is for you,” he poured me a drink. Then he led me to a sofa."You remind me of my niece," Julian started talking as soon as we sat down. He swirled the drink in his hand. "I haven’t seen her in a while, but she’s just like you."“What am I like then?"Julian smiled, "You’re soft, determined, and have these curious eyes—like you want to know everythi

Alessio"Being a good leader means doing what you believe is right, even when it’s hard. You’re doing that. And that’s why you’ll be a great head of this family."I tried to focus and pay attention to Dad’s words, but it was difficult since I didn’t deserve them. After we’d arrived back at the mansion, I found myself in the study with Dad and my brothers to discuss today’s events.As far as he was concerned, Isaac had died. That’s what his little spy, Gian, had told him—and that’s what I would make him believe for the rest of his life.That didn’t mean I didn’t feel bad. I felt like shit. Lying to my family on such a scale was something I had never done before. I had always tried to prove myself and do whatever was necessary to keep this family together—but this time I failed.It was as simple as that. Letting Isaac live? I had no real explanation for why I did what I did. The only thing I knew was that Mena told me to listen to my heart, and it answered for me."I knew there was no r

MenaI stared at my reflection in the mirror of the boutique, the dress hugging my flat belly. “Can you believe there’s a baby in there?” I caught Pilar’s gaze through the mirrors.It had been a few weeks since everything settled down. Life had returned to normal, or as normal as it could be for us. Domenico and Giulia had returned to Italy, and Alessio was back to his long hours leading the Fanuccis.“I’m sure it’ll grow,” Pilar smiled. “But have you already thought about what we’re going to do if you go into labor while I’m away on a gig?”I pouted, as did she. Pilar would soon be heading back home to continue her career, and I understood she had her own life to lead. As much as I wanted her to, she couldn’t stay here forever. The thought of not having her around had already started to make me feel lonely. She wasn’t just a friend, over time she had become like a sister.She was the one who always had the best advice, the one who made me laugh and forget the stress around me. Who wo

AlessioI sat in the chair in Julian’s office, waiting for the man to arrive. He had called me yesterday, told me Isaac was fully recovered, and now it was time to figure out what came next.Quite some time had passed, and I began getting impatient when the man decided to walk in at his own time, with two glasses in his hand. “Ah, if it isn’t my favorite fed lover,” he greeted me, handing me the drink before making his way over to his chair.A grin spread across his face, as if he was proud of his own joke. I scoffed, eyeing the drink in my hand.“The drink isn’t poisoned if that’s what you’re thinking,” Julian spoke.I released a chuckle, setting the glass down without taking a sip. “It’s not that,” I said. “I trusted you when I asked for your help, and I trusted you when I left Mena in your care—but now, I just want to discuss what needs to happen to Isaac.”“And that’s why you won’t drink?” “I don’t have time to drink,” I stated, my tone urgent.Julian’s expression changed, and

AlessioI stepped into the room, letting the door slam shut behind me. Isaac, who sat on the bed, his back turned against me, turned instantly and our eyes met. His were full of regret, but mine were empty.He looked different, better indeed.His face was still bruised, his neck where the scissors had been, bandaged—but overall he looked good.I stuffed my hands into my pockets and leaned back against the door, watching him in silence. Would he be the one to speak up, act like we were just two old friends catching up—or perhaps offer an apology—or was he really smart enough this time to know he had to keep his mouth shut?Minutes stretched out, and neither of us broke the silence until he finally spoke."I know you still have a lot of questions," Isaac began. “And if you want to know more, I can explain—“I grunted. “There’s nothing more for you to explain, and I don’t have anything else to say to you,” I spoke coldly. "I’m here to give you instructions, and that’s it."Isaac nodded,

MenaI wrapped a scarf gently around Naty’s neck, making sure she was warm for the evening. She looked adorable in the dress I had chosen for her, for the dinner Alessio had planned.He hadn’t told me much, only that a driver would take us to the location. Whatever he told me, I just went with it—because I was too tired to investigate. I had already done that a lot lately.Naty showed me a wide grin.“What is it?” I asked, curious about the reason behind it."Nothing, I’m just really happy," her eyes sparkled.I immediately pulled her into my arms, caressing her hair with my fingers. She was really happy, that’s all I wanted to hear. After everything we had gone through, this was what she deserved. A joyful and carefree life.“Come on, let’s go,” I took her hand in mine.As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I noticed Liza in the foyer. Our eyes met and a smile spread across both our faces. It was the first time I had caught her alone since she handed me that letter. The letter that

Mena "Look, Mommy, it's pink!" Watching her excitement filled my heart with warmth. "Is it for me? Can I open it?" Naty asked eagerly. "Is this the thing that's better than the candy ring?" Flustered, I looked at Alessio as he took the box from her. "I will open it for you, and while I do that—there’s something I want to ask you," Alessio spoke tenderly. He took Naty's hand across the table, and she smiled at him. I relaxed in my chair, wondering what he was about to ask her. “I’m not good at speaking,” Alessio began, “But I want you to know that what I’m going to tell you comes from the bottom of my heart,” his voice was sincere. Naty nodded, giving him her full attention as her eyes turned wide. For a moment, the air filled with silence as Alessio paused, thinking about his words. "Naty,” Alessio said, nervously. “Having you and your mommy in my life is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I love everything about you, I will always be there for you—and I will do
