Chapter 130

Emma’s POVThe news still felt surreal, like a dream I wasn’t quite ready to wake up from. Two weeks ago, Luca and I had been in paradise on our honeymoon, and now, I was carrying his child. It seemed like everything had changed overnight, but the reality was that it had all been building for a while—our bond, our love, and now, this new chapter that was about to unfold.As I sat on the plush armchair in our bedroom, the soft glow of the morning light spilling through the curtains, I couldn’t help but place my hand over my still-flat stomach. A child. My thoughts raced, my heart filled with a mixture of excitement and fear. Luca and I had always known that we were meant to be together, but now, we were about to share something even deeper. Our child.I glanced over at him, standing by the window with a quiet, contemplative expression. Luca was always so composed, so certain. But I knew him well enough by now to understand that even he, the man who controlled everything with an iron gr

Chapter 131

Luca’s POVThe moment the doctor had shown us the ultrasound, it felt like time had stopped. The small flicker of life on the screen was all I could focus on. My heart pounded in my chest, louder than I had ever felt before. That was our child—the proof of everything Emma and I had built together. It was surreal. And yet, it was real. It was happening.I turned to look at Emma, and for the first time in a long while, I felt vulnerable. Her eyes were full of wonder, full of love, as she looked at the screen, her hand gently resting on her stomach. She was the mother of my child. This beautiful, strong woman who had always been so independent, so fierce, was now carrying a piece of me. It was almost too much to comprehend.I couldn’t help myself. I reached for her hand, squeezing it gently. She turned to me, her eyes shining, and I could see that we were both thinking the same thing. This was the beginning of a new chapter—one that would change everything. Our lives, our future, it woul

Chapter 132

Emma’s POVThe house felt quieter today, more still. It was an odd kind of quiet, one that settled deep into my bones, like the calm before a storm. My fingers traced the ultrasound picture on the coffee table, my gaze softening as I watched the small image of our baby flicker in my mind. Luca’s promise echoed through my thoughts, his words laced with both certainty and a quiet determination. I had no doubt he would protect us, but the weight of that promise… the weight of everything that came with it… was beginning to press down on me.I let out a slow breath and stood, the soft fabric of my robe brushing against my skin. I had been thinking a lot about the future since we’d learned I was pregnant—about what was ahead for us, for our family. The life we’d built together was far from perfect, but it was real. It was ours. And now, with a child on the way, it would be tested in ways we never could have anticipated.I had to admit, a part of me was scared. Terrified, even. But the fear

Chapter 133

Luca's POVThe tension in the air felt thicker than usual as I walked into the mansion, the soft click of my shoes on the marble floor echoing in the vast hallway. My mind was elsewhere, a constant buzz of thoughts and plans swirling around in my head. The moment I set foot inside, I could almost feel Emma's presence, like a quiet anchor grounding me in the chaos that constantly surrounded me.My hand went to my pocket, fingers brushing the small velvet box hidden there. A reminder of the promise I had made to her—the promise of forever. The promise that, despite everything I had done, everything I had been involved in, she would always be my priority.I wasn’t a man who made promises easily. I had learned early on in my life that promises often meant nothing in the end. But with Emma, everything changed. She had become my world, the one thing that kept me tethered to something good, something real.“Luca,” came her voice, soft but strong, cutting through the noise in my head.I turne

Chapter 134

Emma's POVThe morning sunlight streamed through the tall windows, bathing the room in a warm, golden glow. I stretched, the silk sheets tangled around my legs, and turned to find Luca’s side of the bed empty. A faint trace of his scent lingered, that familiar mix of cedar and spice that made my heart ache in ways I never thought possible.It had been two weeks since I told Luca about the pregnancy, and while he’d been nothing but attentive, I couldn’t shake the unease that had settled deep in my chest. Something was off. He’d been distracted lately, always slipping away for meetings or taking calls in hushed tones. And while I trusted him, there was a small part of me that couldn’t help but wonder if he was hiding something.I sat up, brushing my hair out of my face and reaching for the glass of water on the nightstand. My thoughts drifted back to our conversation the night before, his promise that he was planning something for us. The way his eyes had softened as he spoke had made m

Chapter 135

Luca’s POVThe air was crisp, the cool breeze brushing against my skin as I stood on the terrace, overlooking the vast gardens illuminated by the moonlight. A glass of whiskey sat untouched on the railing beside me, the amber liquid catching the soft glow of the lights below. Tonight should have been serene, yet my mind was anything but at ease.Emma had confessed her love earlier, her words simple but powerful. They had settled into my chest like an anchor, heavier than I’d expected. It wasn’t because I didn’t feel the same—I did—but because love made you vulnerable. Love made you reckless. And I had spent my entire life building walls to shield myself from those weaknesses.But Emma? She dismantled those walls without even trying.“Sir.”I turned to see Nico standing in the doorway, his expression grim. His interruption wasn’t a surprise. I’d been expecting him.“Is it done?” I asked, my voice low but firm.Nico stepped closer, his movements deliberate. “Not yet. We’ve located the l

Chapter 136

Luca’s POVThe warehouse on the outskirts of the city smelled of oil and desperation. The air was damp, thick with the stench of rust and sweat. I stood in the center of the room, surrounded by Nico and a few of my men, as our rival's second-in-command knelt before me. His face was battered, one eye swollen shut, his lip split and bleeding. Yet there was defiance in his expression, a flicker of rebellion that irritated me more than it amused me.“You’ve got guts,” I said, my tone calm but cold. “But guts don’t keep men like you alive in my world.”The man spat blood onto the concrete floor, his breathing ragged but steady. “You think you’ve won, Moretti?” he rasped. “You don’t even know what’s coming.”I stepped closer, my polished shoes echoing on the floor. Squatting down to his level, I locked eyes with him. “What’s coming,” I said slowly, “is the end of anyone foolish enough to cross me. Starting with you.”I stood abruptly, signaling Nico with a flick of my hand. He stepped forwa

Chapter 137

Emma’s POVThe late afternoon sun streamed through the windows of Luca's estate, casting golden light across the dining room table. I sat at the head of it, poring over a guest list that had somehow grown longer than I ever intended. The wedding planner was seated across from me, tapping her pen against her notepad as I crossed out yet another name.“Mrs. Carmine?” she asked, tilting her head.“She sent her regrets last week,” I muttered, scribbling a line through the name. “And honestly, I don’t think she and her brood would’ve fit anyway. They have a habit of turning everything into a spectacle.”The planner nodded, making a note. “That brings us down to one hundred and seventy-five. Do you want me to cut it further?”I leaned back in my chair, pinching the bridge of my nose. “No, leave it for now. If I stare at this list any longer, I’m going to lose my mind.”She chuckled softly, gathering her papers. “Take a break, Emma. You’re trying to control every little detail, and it’s goin

Chapter 138

Luca’s POVI stood in the quiet study, staring at the cracked glass of whiskey in my hand. It had been a long day—longer than I cared to admit. Between the escalating tensions with old rivals and the never-ending demands of my empire, the weight of it all was pressing harder than ever.But none of it mattered when I thought about Emma.I’d caught a glimpse of her earlier during a dress fitting. I wasn’t supposed to be there—hell, I wasn’t even supposed to know where she was—but something had drawn me to her. Seeing her radiant smile and the way she moved in that gown, even from a distance, had left me breathless.It wasn’t the dress, though. It was her.I downed the whiskey in one gulp, the burn barely registering. The deeper I fell for her, the more I feared what loving her could cost me.When the door creaked open, I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. Her presence was like a spark in the room, warm and all-consuming.“Drinking alone again?” Emma’s voice was soft, but the

Chapter 139

Emma’s POVThe smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as I stood by the kitchen counter, staring out the window. The morning sun spilled golden light across the garden, a stark contrast to the storm brewing in my mind. Luca had been unusually calm when he returned earlier. Too calm.He’d kissed me and said all the right things, but something lingered beneath the surface. A tension he hadn’t managed to hide.I poured myself a cup of coffee, my hands steady but my thoughts swirling. Luca thought he was good at keeping secrets. Maybe he was—for other people. But not with me. Not anymore.I’d learned to read him. Every glance, every pause in his words told me something he wasn’t saying.And right now, it told me he was hiding something.I didn’t confront him immediately. That would only make him retreat further into himself. Instead, I busied myself with preparations for the day. A dinner with some of Luca’s closest allies was on the agenda, and as much as I despised the formality
