Chapter: Epilogue!Seven months later!The bedroom was a slumbering giant, quiet and dark. The only source of light was soft moonlight reaching through the window. The shadow of Eva clung to the walls as she got up from the bed way too silently, preventing herself from making any noise that could wake her husband. She entered the kitchen. The only sound was a faint hum of the fridge as she tiptoed barefoot across the cool tiles. Every step felt like a secret, the wood beneath her feet creaking just enough to make her pause and to see if her husband had come around.But she can't blame herself for waking up in the middle of the night because of her pregnancy cravings. That craving hit her like a storm hours ago, a hunger so fierce it gnawed at her and tugged her out of bed. Eva opened the fridge door with a careful softness, as if even the rush of cold air might betray her. The insides are glowing like a treasure chest just like moonlight.Grinning, she opened the ice-cream tub, taking a spoonful of mint

Chapter: His truth!There's a phrase called.'Pain is a silent storm that rages within, unseen by the world but felt in every breath I take.'They lost a baby!But they still had another one!In the hospital's white sheets Eva stared blankly at the ceiling. She was numb to feel anything absorbing the news from earlier. Her heart wasn't ready to accept that they had lost a baby, but she was still pregnant with the other one. Yes, she was pregnant with twins, but their fate took an ugly turn. Her heart pained at the loss, but at the same time it was relieved that she was still pregnant. She was pregnant but she lost the other one. She didn't know how to feel about it.The doctor checked her with a stethoscope while Vincent's gaze remained stuck on her stomach. He was feeling the same emotions as her but showed an emotionless demeanor towards the outer world."It's a phenomenon called 'vanishing twin syndrome'. It wasn't a rare case, as people believe, but who can escape destiny?"The doctor's last words ad

Chapter: We won't lose!Author's POV'Eva trembled as fear started rising in her when Chloe declared that, and before she could open her mouth to say something, a loud voice could be heard inside the basement."I'll burn down the world, including you, if you even dare to hurt my wife, Chloe."Her eyes snapped towards the source of the voice. She took a breath of relief as silent tears made their way through her eyes."Oh, so you have finally come, my dear son."Chloe stated sarcastically, but my eyes were stuck on Vincent, who wasn't even glancing her way. Her heart clenched thinking he might not forgive her this time for the stupidity she did."Come to the point, Chloe."His eyes remained firm on his mother."What's the hurry, son? We are meeting after so long, and I'm your mother, so don't call me by my name."Chloe's eyes started to turn red in anger when she stated the last line."You don't deserve to be called a mother. In fact, you don't deserve to be one."Chloe gritted her teeth at his words."Watch

Chapter: Heartbreaking Message!"If you want to find out about an important woman in your husband's life, then come and meet me at the given location."I stared at the message in front of me blankly. I was so excited not too long ago, and I was feeling numb not understanding my own feelings. After finding out about my pregnancy, the happiness and incredible feelings which I was feeling was just indescribable. I was so excited to surprise Vincent with this news, but got this heartbreaking message which shattered my heart into pieces.Is this the same woman whom Vincent was taking with the other day?I need to find out about her. It is a necessity for me to know, since Vincent wasn't telling me on his own. We can't move on to our next chapter of life without knowing one's past life. He already knows about mine but me, on the other hand? What about me? Isn't it my right to know about my husband's past life which he refused to tell me about?"Since you won't tell me, I need to find out on my own or else we can't move on

Chapter: Sick?Holding my hair at one side, I continued to throw up in the toilet of whatever I ate this afternoon until my stomach emptied completely. Vomits are the most disgusting thing in the world. I always find them way to hell because it takes all my strength away, leaving me numb and weak. I was feeling so numb that I couldn't even stand on my feet even if I tried, so I sat there until I was able to stand on my feet.I was still feeling that sweet sore between my legs after our last night's session.I'm not complaining though. A tear rolled down my cheeks when last night flashed in front of me."I don't want you again in my life. Do you get that? I'm happy with my wife and don't want any other woman in my life."Whom was he talking about? Is he hiding his past from me? Don't I have the right to know? Did he had another woman in his past, and now she's trying to get back?I sobbed as I felt an immense pain inside my heart when I thought about possibilities. I should trust him and nothing else.

Chapter: Hiding?I stared up at him with my glossy eyes while his eyes were still closed as he made his wish with a blow of a candle. I smiled back through my glossy eyes when he opened his eyes, smiling."It's not a good thing to let others know about your wishes, Vincent."I exclaimed softly, trying to control my tears, but unfortunately, one tear escaped from my eye. He chuckled lowly before wiping my tear using his thumb."For me, I wanted you to know my wish."He whispered near my ear, leaning down."Because no one can fulfill it rather than you."I smiled, bringing the cake up towards him."Come on now, cut the cake and tell me how it is?"I exclaimed happily, but he narrowed his eyes in curiosity. I sighed dramatically before saying."Because I made it with my own hands for you."It's my first cake which I baked by the way, but I won't tell him because I don't want to terrify him by telling him it's my first time making a cake. Yes, I have baked before, but they were muffins, not cakes.He shoo

Chapter: Bonus!Author’s POV'Six years laterThe Romano mansion breathed celebration.Blue balloons floated lazily across the living room ceiling, their ribbons swaying as servants moved around making last-minute arrangements. Laughter echoed from the garden, where colorful play stations had been set up for children—mini slides, games, and a small carousel. Every detail was perfect. Exactly how Elena wanted it.And yet, irritation simmered beneath her calm exterior.Her phone buzzed again.She exhaled sharply, already knowing who it was.“Unbelievable,” she muttered, striding toward the bedroom with one hand planted firmly on her hip.The door swung open just as a familiar voice called out—“Elena—”She stopped in the doorway, arching a brow.“Finally. Got some free time for me?”Vincenzo asked, his voice smooth, his expression as darkly composed as ever.Elena let out a dramatic huff.“Free time? Really, Vincenzo?”He turned toward her, impeccably dressed except for the tie hanging loose around his

Chapter: Epilogue!It took everything in me to convince him.Even now, standing at the entrance of our mansion, I wondered if I had made a mistake.I drew in a shaky breath, my chest tightening as I took in the sight before me. Vincenzo’s men lined one side, Levi’s men the other—guns visible, faces cold, tension thick enough to choke on. The mansion that once felt like home now felt like a battlefield waiting for blood.My pulse spiked.Suddenly, the memories crashed into me—the gunshot, the pain, the darkness swallowing me whole.No. Don’t go there, I told myself desperately.Vincenzo’s grip around my hand tightened, grounding and possessive, like he was anchoring me to this world. His fingers were almost painful now, as if letting go meant losing me forever.Not now.Not ever.I glanced at him and saw it—the barely restrained rage burning in his eyes. My husband looked like a man standing on the edge of slaughter, ready to kill anyone who even thought of taking me away from him.“Finally,” Levi’s voic

Chapter: Not so fast!"You are the best thing that has ever happened in my life."The moment those words left Vincenzo’s lips, something inside my chest shattered and healed all at once."But I didn't get you any gifts."My face dropped."You are the best gift already. You are enough, sweetheart."“I’m so lucky to have you as mine,” he continued, his voice low, sincere—dangerously honest. “Thank you, love, for coming into my life like an angel and filling it with happiness. Even after everything I put you through… every wrong I did to you.”His thumb brushed over my knuckles as if grounding himself.“I promise,” he said firmly, “I will never let your smile fade again. I’ll give you every happiness this world has to offer. I’ll hold you like this and love you until my last breath.”My heart was no longer beating normally.“I love you, Annie,” he whispered. “More than you could ever imagine.”Tears burned my eyes as he tightened his hold on my hand, as if afraid the world might take me away if he loosened hi

Chapter: Consuming!“Vincenzo,” I called his name, with a hint of anger lacing my tone. I could finally speak. I was so glad to have my voice back that I nearly cried. The first words which I let him hear were.... I love you Vinni. He was head over heel to hear it again and made me repeat the whole week.I didn't tell him that they weren't my first words after my recovery, and I was actually practicing it, but he doesn't have to know that it was my surprise.A low chuckle answered me instead.It had been weeks since I was discharged from the hospital, weeks since he brought me back to the mansion and quietly turned my recovery into his religion. He didn’t let me lift a finger—not a glass of water, not a book, not even my own blanket. If I moved, he would be already there. If I wanted something, he anticipated it before I could even think of asking.At first, I argued.Now, I let him.He fed me when I was tired, carried me when my legs ached, kissed my scars like they were sacred symbols etched into my sk

Chapter: Dangerously honest!Elena POV'It’s been two weeks since I woke up.Two weeks since, the darkness loosened its grip on me and allowed light back in—harsh, blinding, real. The first two days were a blur of white ceilings, muted voices, and pain humming through my bones like a warning.It took time for my mind to catch up with my body, to understand that I wasn’t dead… just suspended between what I was and what I had become.The doctor said my body was weak. Healing. Fragile.And then came the worst part.I couldn’t speak.No matter how hard I tried, my throat refused to cooperate, my voice trapped somewhere deep inside me. The doctor said it was normal. That coma patients often take days… weeks… sometimes months to speak again. He said it was a miracle that I woke up to which he received a deadly glare from Vincenzo. I bet he had threatened the old man.I hated that word—months.Because silence made me powerless.And because my husband never left my side.Vincenzo was around me. Always. Like a shadow stit

Chapter: Fragile hope!Night came for him the same way it always did—slow, merciless, and heavy with her absence.Eight and a half months had passed since the bullet tore through Elena and ripped the color out of his world. The doctors called it a coma, a word too clean for what it really was. To Vincenzo, it was a suspended death. A punishment. A waiting room where time mocked him by moving forward while she remained still.By day, he had turned into something colder than before. The city whispered about it. The men under him feared it. Vincenzo spoke only when necessary, each word clipped, surgical, as if language itself was a weakness he could no longer afford. His eyes no longer burned with fire—they were glaciers now. Unfeeling. Untouchable. Anyone who mistook that silence for mercy never made the mistake twice.But night stripped him bare.When the mansion went quiet and the walls stopped pretending she was still there, Vincenzo returned to the bedroom they once shared.Her side of the bed remained un
