Chapter: Chapter 0092Heels clicked on the spotless tiles of the hospital interior, drawing the attention of the nurses nearby who all turned to acknowledge her with a polite dip of their heads. She flashed back a sugary smile, her heavy perfume trailing after her, leaving traces of it like a souvenir. Vivienne. Brown leather pants, stilettos, a silk top with a cowl neckline baring just enough cleavage, and hair pulled up into a sleek ponytail.“Welcome Mrs. De Luca” The gynecologist in the room greeted her as she soon strolled in and claimed the seat opposite the desk. Vivienne’s grin spread wide “Nice office” she complimented from sheer joy, a subtle giggle in her voice. “Thank you” The Doctor responded. “The hospital called…so soon? I just got inseminated a week ago” Vivienne started, setting her bag on the desk as her smile slowly waned. “We know that, Mrs. De Luca” The Doctor replied, her voice holding a faint tremor. “Drop the formalities. Call me Vivienne” “Would you like some water?” The D

Chapter: Chapter 0091“He got what he deserved, one bullet wasn't enough” Alessandro divulged, an unbothered tone lacing his voice. Bianca’s breath hitched as her pupils slowly widened. Her face fell into petrification. “You…did what?” Her brows furrowed in utter disbelief as she asked in a low voice, desperate to be sure she hadn’t heard wrong. Alessandro's strict gaze slid to her “You still love that bastard after everything, Bianca? You disappoint me” Bianca’s glare stiffened immediately “This isn't about love, I'm not heartless…he looked miserable the last time we met” “Stay away from that family Bianca, they are all a bunch of losers. They are no good for you” She huffed, her countenance still clouded with dread as the news sent a jolt of weakness coursing through her bones. What would Roman think once he found out? She swallowed hard at the thought. “Why...why would you do that?” she stuttered, chest heaving as panic washed through her. This wasn't going to end well. Alessand

Chapter: Chapter 0090Two whole dreadful weeks, Louisa vanished after that brutal altercation they’d had, leaving their baby’s needs to the beck and call of a hired nanny and Alaric deliberately rubbing it off in his face. Two weeks of being a miserable man with no trace of where she could be. Two weeks of external threats from quiet enemies waiting for moments of weakness from him. Alessandro sat behind the mahogany desk in his study, head buried in a heavy bound ledger book opened right before him—desperate for a distraction, but these thoughts kept whirling cruelly in his head. On the desk, an almost empty bottle of whiskey he’d downed the previous night rested while the ashtray still curled with smokes from freshly burnt cigarettes. A slight knock came on the door and a figure slithered into the dim room, faint shadows stretching from the tiny streaks of sunlight slithering into the room “Boss, we caught him…he’s in the basement” The deep voice boomed. Alessandro jerked up to his feet

Chapter: Chapter 0089Louisa sat in the car as the chauffeur drove her back to the estate. Silence enveloped the humid atmosphere except for the soft hum of the engines and the loud screech of tires. Her mind did a quick flashback to how in a fit of rage at Vivienne she had driven Alaric closer to her than she liked. She shut her eyes tightly to block out the memory of that piggyback as subtle flashes of Nina’s face assaulted her; No, she wouldn't be mad at her, whatever closeness with Alaric that was about to ensue was only transactional. Nothing else.She nodded her head as if to assure herself she was about to do the right thing. Her fists clasped around her thighs and squeezed tightly to offer herself comfort. The car ride soon came to a halt in front of the grand De Luca estate—Alessandro’s home which she wouldn't be coming back to after sorting out whatever she had to with him. The minute the chauffeur held open the door and her legs touched the ground, Vivienne walked out, false lashes overlappi

Chapter: Chapter 0088Alessandro’s jaws worked through clenches after Louisa left, her sudden absence and attitude stabbing a void in his chest. His chin locked tight with an impassive glow resting on his features, eyes shadowed with a dead look that sat calm like still water. Three black cars pulled up in front of him, the heavy tension suddenly shifting with a subtle kind of danger. Men in black stepped out in an orderly fashion, guns hidden behind their well-polished suits. A man stepped forward with a suit bag in hand and right there Alessandro’s fingers worked on his shirt as he tore it away from his body, revealing scars on tattooed skin—some already faded and some still fresh from his recent gun wounds. He slipped into the new pair of suits with swift precision. “Guard the hospital and keep watch over my child…” He trailed off, voice clipped as the recollection of Louisa fleeing away from him replayed like a cruel joke in his head. And still, beneath all that control he wore like armor,

Chapter: Chapter 0087TWO DAYS LATER “You are all set to go home now Mrs.Carter” The doctor announced as a nurse removed the last strip of IV tape on the back of Louisa’s hand. “It's Louisa Delaney, please” Louisa corrected through her teeth, suddenly repulsed by the surname of the loser she had married—a name she couldn't wait to discard. Divorce papers or not she already felt free and independent. Once the documents arrived for Colin it would be the perfect icing on the cake. As soon as the nurse stepped back from her, Louisa rose to her feet and smoothed her hand down the bodycon dress accentuating her figure with a satisfied smile curling on her lips. Nina would always say ‘Act like the Romans when in Rome’ and now she intended to do exactly that. “Can I get my tox panel result? I’m filing a lawsuit against my husband” She said to the Doctor who awkwardly gave a small smile. “Mr.De Luca asked that we don't let you get involved, he wants you to get more rest” “Whatever he must have
