CHAPTER 71 ALESSANDRO'S POV The call had come unexpectedly that morning, and to be honest, I had not been prepared for it. My mind was still foggy from sleep when the phone rang. I had always prided myself on being composed, but the sudden news threw me off balance after answering the call in my sleepy state. The old man was coming to visit. I had not expected him, not today, not at this moment. The last time he had come, it had been a matter of business, a casual check-in, and everything had been civil. But this time, there was something different in the air—something I couldn’t quite place. The man didn’t show up unless he had something important on his mind, and it wasn’t often that he paid me a visit without bringing some sort of heavy conversation with him.For me, he just didn't need to visit my space. I groaned softly, pushing myself out of bed and rubbing my eyes. The day had already started off wrong, and I needed to gather myself quickly. I couldn’t let him see me thin

CHAPTER 73It was morning already and time for breakfast.Alessandro had insisted they eat together, saying he wanted Amelia to start the day feeling relaxed.His actions made her even more relaxed so Amelia didn’t argue and let him pull her close, his voice low as he told her how beautiful she looked in the early sunlight. "I can't believe that he is pulling this trick on me again," Amelia thought as she tried hard to hide her blush and pretend like she was unaffected by everything that he seemed to be doing to her. His fingers brushed against hers as he poured her coffee, a small smile playing on his lips. For a moment, everything else faded—it was just the two of them, the quiet clinking of dishes, and the steady beat of her heart.But just as she was about to take another bite, her phone vibrated against the table, breaking the peaceful moment between them. She glanced at the screen, her stomach tightening the moment she saw Luca’s name.She hesitated for a while to answer wh

CHAPTER 75Amelia sat on the plush couch in Alessandro’s office, her fingers absently tracing the rim of her coffee cup. She had been learning the ropes from Mike and getting used to the peculiarities of Alessandro’s world. But the more she learned, the more she realized how deep she had gotten herself into something that wasn’t just dangerous—it was inescapable and was it strange for her to admit that she was loving it? Her phone vibrated on the table. She already knew who it was. Luca.She sighed, staring at the screen before pressing the power button to silence it. She had been ignoring him for days now, not because she didn’t care, but because she didn’t know what to say.She had expected him to be upset when she rejected his feelings, but she didn’t expect him to keep pushing—calling, messaging, even coming by her apartment, hoping that she might decide to heed his message. She had told him she wasn’t going to leave Alessandro, but he refused to accept it. And now, she felt stuc

CHAPTER 77Amelia paced back and forth in her bedroom, her phone clutched tightly in her hand. She had been avoiding Luca’s calls for days, knowing that every conversation would lead to another argument. But Alessandro’s warning lingered in her mind—Luca was pushing too hard, and Alessandro was losing patience.She didn’t want this to escalate.And she didn’t want Luca to get hurt because of her so it was best for her to stop hiding from him. Taking a deep breath, she finally dialed his number.The call barely rang before he answered. "Amelia, you finally picked up. You...how...." His voice was sharp, urgent. "Quit the greeting. I’ll meet you," she said quickly, cutting off whatever he was about to say. "Tonight. Just us. I have something important to tell you."Luca exhaled, his relief almost palpable through the phone. "Great. Where are we meeting? I also have something important to tell you" "The café near my old apartment," she said. "One hour."She hung up before he

CHAPTER 79 The tension in Alessandro’s office was thick, the air heavy with unspoken thoughts as he leaned against his desk, arms crossed. His sharp gaze was fixed on Mike, who stood a few feet away with a neutral expression. “She’s going to find out soon,” Alessandro muttered, dragging a hand through his hair. “Luca won’t stop. He’s determined to make her question me, and it’s only a matter of time before he throws Isabelle’s name in her face.”He had kind of discovered that Luca had been going around digging dirt at him, and there was only one reason why he would do so — to show Amelia. Mike exhaled, shifting his weight. "Should we take him down?" "Amelia won't like it." "Then maybe tell her first.”Alessandro’s jaw tightened. “It’s not that simple.” “Yes, it is,” Mike countered. “If you don’t, she’ll hear it from someone else. And when that happens, you won’t have control over how she reacts.”Alessandro let out a frustrated breath. He knew Mike was right, but ho
