Extended Epilogue (The Russo Family Vacation Begins)

(Sienna’s POV)The chaos started before we even left the house.“Where’s my shark floatie?!” Matteo shouted from the top of the stairs, his small voice frantic.“I told you, we don’t need floaties! We’re staying in a villa, not a water park!” Luca called back, exasperated. He stood by the door, two suitcases stacked beside him, one hand gripping Alessandro’s tiny wrist as our other son tried to wriggle free.“But Mama said there’s a pool!” Matteo insisted, his blue eyes wide with betrayal as he turned to me for support.I sighed, adjusting my sunglasses on top of my head. “Baby, there’s a pool, but you can swim without the floatie now, remember? You’re a big boy.”Matteo puffed out his cheeks in that stubborn way that reminded me too much of Luca. “Big boys still need their shark floaties.”Luca groaned. “Fine. Get the damn floatie.”Matteo cheered and bolted upstairs. Meanwhile, Alessandro seized the distraction and successfully yanked out of Luca’s grip, running toward the kitchen.

Extended Epilogue ( Sun, Sand, & Stolen Kisses)

(Luca’s POV)I used to think handling multimillion-dollar business deals was stressful.Then I had kids.Two boys, both with boundless energy and an apparent mission to break the laws of physics.Our second day in Greece was supposed to be relaxing. The plan? A simple beach day—sandcastles, swimming, and a family picnic. Nothing too wild.But, of course, with Matteo and Alessandro, nothing ever went according to plan.Morning MadnessIt started with a battle over swimsuits.“I want to wear my pirate trunks!” Matteo declared, stomping his tiny foot.Alessandro, standing beside him, crossed his arms. “Pirates are old. I want my superhero trunks!”I sighed, running a hand down my face. “You both have about ten different swimsuits. Why does it have to be a fight?”Sienna, standing by the mirror in a black bikini and a sheer white cover-up, shot me a smirk. “They’re your sons.”“They’re our sons,” I corrected, my eyes tracing the curve of her hips. “And by the way, you’re trying to kill me

Extended Epilogue (Sailing and Secrets)

(Sienna’s POV)The sun hung high in the Greek sky, casting golden light over the deep blue sea as we boarded the private yacht. The salty breeze played with my hair as I tightened my grip on Alessandro’s little hand, ensuring he didn’t go sprinting off the dock and straight into the water like his brother nearly had.“Matteo, slow down!” I called out, watching as he ran ahead, his little feet thudding against the wooden deck of the yacht.“But Papa said we could drive the boat!” Matteo whined, pointing at Luca, who stood at the helm with an amused smirk.Luca ruffled his hair. “I said you could help me drive, bud. There’s a difference.”Alessandro tugged on my shirt, his big brown eyes filled with curiosity. “Mama, do you think we’ll see sharks?”I laughed, kneeling to his level. “Not here, sweetheart. But we might see dolphins.”Matteo, who had been pouting about his co-captain status, perked up immediately. “Dolphins?! Can we swim with them?”Luca chuckled, wrapping an arm around my

Extended Epilogue ( Home Sweet Chaos)

(Sienna’s POV)I love vacations. I love the sun-kissed beaches, the endless cocktails, and the stolen moments with Luca where we pretended we weren’t parents of two tiny hurricanes.But coming home?That was a whole different beast.The moment we stepped off the plane, I could feel the shift. The real world rushed back in—no more lazy mornings in Santorini, no more romantic walks along the cliffs. Just suitcases, cranky kids, and an overflowing inbox waiting for me.Luca, of course, looked obnoxiously unfazed.“We survived a week with them in Greece,” he said, hauling our bags like they weighed nothing. “How bad could this be?”Matteo and Alessandro chose that exact moment to start an all-out brawl over who got to hold my hand first.Luca gave me a dry look. “Forget I asked.”The Jet Lag StruggleBy the time we got home, the twins were in feral mode.They were wired from too much sugar, exhausted from travel, and convinced that bedtime was a myth.Alessandro ran in circles around the

Extended Epilogue (The Fracture in the Perfect Life)

Matteo had always been the louder of the twins, the one who ran first, climbed higher, and laughed the hardest. But today, he was eerily quiet. Sienna had noticed it from the moment he woke up, sluggish and groggy, rubbing his eyes as if he hadn’t gotten a full night’s sleep. She had brushed it off at first, assuming he was just tired from their recent trip, but as the hours passed, unease settled in the pit of her stomach.She stood in the kitchen, watching him from across the room as he curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket even though the air-conditioning wasn’t on. Alessandro sat beside him, happily munching on a cookie, but Matteo only stared at his, making no move to eat it.Luca walked into the room, his brows furrowed as he followed her gaze. “What’s wrong?”Sienna shook her head. “I don’t know. He’s just… off.”Luca approached the couch and sat beside Matteo, ruffling his dark curls. “Hey, buddy, not hungry?”Matteo shook his head slowly. “My head hurts,” he mumbled, h

Extended Epilogue (The Unknown Battle)

Luca’s POVI have never felt fear like this before.I have faced men with guns, stared down death in ways most people never would. I’ve fought, bled, and walked out of situations I should never have survived. But nothing—nothing—could have ever prepared me for this.Matteo lies in that hospital bed, his small body almost lost in the white sheets, his skin unnaturally pale. His chest rises and falls so weakly that I find myself holding my breath just to hear the sound of his breathing. The steady beep of the monitors is the only sign that he’s still here, still fighting.Sienna sits beside him, gripping his tiny hand in hers. She hasn’t moved in hours. She barely blinks, like she’s terrified that if she looks away for even a second, he’ll slip away. Her other hand is clenched around her phone, knuckles white, as if she’s waiting for news—waiting for something that will tell her this isn’t as bad as it feels. But the way her entire body trembles tells me she already knows the truth.Som

Extended Epilogue (The Weight of the Unknown)

Sienna’s POVI’ve never felt time move this slowly.The walls of the hospital room feel like they’re closing in, trapping us in this nightmare that refuses to end. Matteo still lies in that bed, his small body looking too fragile beneath the layers of blankets, an IV taped to his arm, oxygen tubes keeping his breaths steady. But steady isn’t enough. Steady is just survival.I want him to wake up. I want him to open those big, mischievous brown eyes and ask me why I look so sad. I want to hear his laugh again, feel his tiny hands tugging at my dress, asking for one more bedtime story, one more hug.Instead, I sit here, frozen, watching the rise and fall of his chest as if the moment I blink, it might stop.Luca hasn’t left the room, not even for a second. He stands near the window, arms crossed, his jaw clenched so tightly that I’m afraid he’ll crack a tooth. His entire body radiates tension, frustration, and something deeper—something I know he doesn’t want to name out loud.Fear.“Mr

Extended Epilogue (Cracks in the Armor)

Luca’s POVI have never felt more useless in my entire life.I’ve built an empire from the ground up, made enemies kneel at my feet, and controlled situations most men wouldn’t dare touch. But none of that means anything right now. None of that can help me here.Matteo is lying in that damn hospital bed, pale and fragile, with wires and tubes keeping him tethered to life. And I can’t do a damn thing about it.I pace the length of the hospital room, my hands clenched into tight fists. I need to do something. Anything. I need to fix this. I need to take the pain away. But all I can do is watch my son struggle, waiting for a diagnosis that might rip him away from me.Sienna sits beside his bed, holding Matteo’s tiny hand in both of hers. She hasn’t moved in hours. Her usually bright eyes are dull, lined with exhaustion, but she refuses to let go. She strokes his fingers absently, whispering to him, even though he hasn’t been fully awake since this nightmare started.Every time I look at

Extended Epilogue ( A Father’s Promise)

Luca’s POVI don’t sleep that night.I sit in the hospital chair beside Matteo’s bed, staring at the slow, steady rise and fall of his chest. Every breath he takes feels like a small victory, but I can’t shake the fear tightening around my ribs. I’ve always been a man who takes action—who fixes problems before they even have the chance to become threats.But this? This is a battle I don’t know how to fight.Sienna finally dozes off sometime after midnight, curled up in an awkward position in the chair beside me, her hand still clutching Matteo’s. I should tell her to go home, to get some real rest, but I already know she won’t. She won’t leave our son, and neither will I.The clock on the wall ticks away the hours, but I can’t focus on anything except the helplessness clawing at my insides.I hate this. I hate the waiting. I hate the unknown.And most of all, I hate the idea that I might not be able to protect my son from this.At some point, my phone vibrates in my pocket, breaking t

Extended Epilogue ( Unbreakable)

Sienna’s POVI’ve never known fear like this.Not even in the darkest moments of my life, not even when Luca and I almost lost each other. This fear is different. It’s suffocating, relentless, and no matter how much I try to push it down, it claws its way back up, wrapping around my heart like a vice.Matteo is sick.And no amount of love, no amount of strength, no amount of sheer willpower can change that.I sit on the edge of the hospital bed, my fingers gently stroking Matteo’s curls as he sleeps. His face is peaceful, too peaceful, as if his body has already surrendered to the exhaustion that the illness is forcing on him.Luca is pacing again.He’s been on the phone with Ethan and Dr. Caldwell all morning, trying to force the world to bend to his will. And I know he’s doing it because he has to—because it’s the only way he knows how to fight.But I also know he’s scared.Because even Luca Moretti, with all his power and influence, can’t just will this away.I close my eyes, inhal
