Athanasia And Lucas

For seven years, I had been the secret of Enzo Gallo, the new Don of the Gallo family. When I went to register our son Lucas's birth, I discovered Enzo had already married his sister-in-law, Camilla, and claimed her child as his own. Her child became the heir to the family, with all the privileges that entailed. My child became a shameful bastard. Years ago, after Enzo's brother died, the family elders gave Enzo one condition to become Don: he had to have an heir with his sister-in-law to secure the Gallo bloodline. That night, Enzo held me close and swore I was his only true wife. He promised that once Camilla gave birth, he would give me the wedding I deserved. But he missed Lucas's birthday the day Camilla went into labor. Instead of the wedding he promised me, all I got was the news of his marriage to his sister-in-law. My son gently wiped away my tears with his small hand: "Mamma, don't be sad. I changed my birthday wish. I don't want a Papa anymore." "I don't care about being an heir. Having you is enough." I pulled Lucas into my arms, swallowing the bitterness that rose in my throat. "Who says you aren't an heir? Baby, Mamma is taking you home. To our family." What Enzo doesn't know is that I am the only daughter of the most powerful Mafia family in Sicily. I never cared about being the Donna of the Gallo family.

Hindi matandaan ni Miya ang nangyari at nagising na lang siya na matindi ang sakit ng ulo at walang maalala sa inuman. Naguguluhan pa kung ano nangyari nang gabing iyon dahil tila ba hinila lahat ng hangover ang alaala niya. Habang inaalam ang nangyari, bigla na lang nag-flashback sa utak ni Miya ang pakikipaghalikan niya sa isang lalaki. Ngunit ang lalaking kaharap niya ay iba naman ang sinasabing nangyari nang gabing iyon. Ngayon ay gulong-gulo na siya kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari lalo pa nang puntahan siya ni Lucas para ayain siya sa isang contract marriage. Hanggang sa naglapag ang kompanya ng bagong polisiya: isang milyon sa unang limang ikakasal na empleyado sa kumpanya. Para makuha ito, napilitan si Miya na pumayag sa pagpapakasal kay Lucas sa pamamagitan ng contract marriage nila. Ngunit sa pananatili nila sa isang kontrata, may mamuo ba na pag-ibig o mananatili na lang sa papel ang pagmamahalan nila?

My husband, Lucas Gabriel, and I were on our way to sell paintings when we got robbed. I used all my strength to fight off the robbers. I wanted to keep Lucas’s hands safe so that he could keep painting. However, he failed to escape. He threw his paintings on the ground and yelled at me, “This is all your fault, Aria! “If I had married Chloe instead of you, I would be the leader of the Lenza Group in Ros Aegeles by now! I wouldn’t be some poor, helpless painter!” Right before the robbers killed me, I finally realized that he never got over his childhood sweetheart, Chloe Lionel. That was why he never wanted to have children with me while we were married. When I opened my eyes again, we had both returned to a time before our marriage. This time, we went our separate ways. I cut ties with him and left Ros Angeles to focus on medical research. Seven years later, I returned. Lucas was already the boss of Cosa. He had Chloe in his arms and mocked me. “I know you’ve loved me in both lives, but did you really have to stay single for me?” I ignored him and held my son’s hand. He lost it. His eyes turned red with anger as he demanded, “Whose child is that?! Didn’t you say you would only have my children?!”
