Falling For The Father
Love and revenge don't mix well in the dark streets of Milan.
When Daisy Fontana stepped into her engagement party at the Marino mansion, she thought she had it all. A handsome fiancé from one of Milan's most powerful families, a bright future ahead, and a perfect life far from her father's reach. But that dream shattered in a single night when her sister Sofia exposed her family's little secret... she wasn’t really a Fontana at all.
Daisy was humiliated and cast aside by her fiancé Antonio, so she came up with what she thought was the perfect revenge. She'd get close to Antonio’s father, the feared Don Vincenzo Marino, by becoming his assistant. In her mind, it was simple: make Antonio jealous by becoming important to his father's empire. Then hopefully that would make him realise he made a mistake by letting her go.
But what Daisy didn't know was that Vincenzo had watched her for a while, hoping for a chance. While she plotted her little revenge against the son, she had no idea she was walking straight into the arms of a man who had craved her for a while. She was supposed to get back at the son, but didn't expect she'd be falling for the father.

Chapter: Chapter 107Time went by very fast in the Marino mansion. Daisy’s belly had grown very big. She was so big that she could not see her own feet anymore, and was struggling with simple tasks. Her body was not as easy to move as it was before. It was hard for her to bend over to pick up things that she dropped. Just the other day, she had tried to tie her shoes. She sat down on the bed and leaned forward slowly, trying to reach the lace. But she could not reach it. Her big stomach was in the way. She tried again but she felt a sharp pull in her back.“Ouch, my back!” she whispered. “It hurts so much. I cannot do this anymore.” She gave up. She just sat there, looking at the shoe in frustration. The other time, she had tried to get out of the bed, but it seemed impossible. She tried to push herself up with her arms. But it was too hard. Luckily, Maria arrived just in time to assist her. “Why didn’t you call me, dear?”“You think I want anyone to see me like this? It’s so embarrassing. I had to wait

Chapter: Chapter 106Daisy and Vincenzo arrive back at the Marino mansion. The big, black cars pulled up to the huge front door. The house felt different now. It felt like home.The big doors opened, and the house was ready for them. Maria was standing right there. She had a big, warm smile on her face. Many of the guards and maids were also standing there. Maria walked forward fast. She hugged Daisy very tight. “Welcome home, Donna,” Maria said. “We missed you so much. We have been waiting for you. The house is ready for you both.”“Oh I missed you too, Maria.” Daisy hugged her tightly.“Welcome home, sir.” She turned to Vincenzo. “I hope you enjoyed your trip?”Vincenzo nodded. He put his hand on Daisy’s lower back and smiled at Maria. “Thank you, Maria. The trip was perfect. But it is good to be home.”Maria had prepared a very warm welcome for them. The house was decorated. There were fresh flowers everywhere and candles in the halls. It smelled so good. She knew Daisy would like them.“Oh my goodnes

Chapter: Chapter 106It was the last day on the beautiful island. Daisy knew this was the end of their perfect time. But she was happy because she had such a good time with Vincenzo. It was sad because they had to leave this place.Daisy walked slowly along the shore. She wanted to remember everything. She wanted to put every small detail of the island into her memory. She looked at the blue water, watching the small waves come in and then go out. She watched the little sea birds flying high in the bright sky. She felt the cool breeze on her skin, and closed her eyes for a long moment, taking a very deep breath. This was the last time she would see this beauty for a long time. She walked a few more steps, hearing nothing but the waves. It was so peaceful.Then, she felt two strong arms wrap around her from behind. She didn't need to open her eyes to know who it was. She knew the strong arms belonged to only one man. Vincenzo.He leaned down and kissed the back of her head.“Are you making a memory, amore

Chapter: Chapter 105The days on the island had flown by quite quickly. Every single moment had been perfect. But now, as the honeymoon was coming to its end, a nervous feeling started to form inside Daisy’s heart. They were going back to Milan soon. They were going back to the world of the mafia. And she was not just going back as Vincenzo’s girl anymore. She was going back as his wife, Donna Marino, and the mother of his child.She sat on the big balcony, watching the sea. The blue color was so calming, but her mind was not calm. She was thinking about all the eyes that would be on her. All the men and women who would judge her. She felt small and so worried about stepping into the role of Donna while carrying a child. It felt like too much to carry. She didn’t know if she was going to fit into her role.Soon, Vincenzo found her there. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on the top of her head. He could feel the tension in her shoulders. He knew she was worrying ag

Chapter: Chapter 104Daisy and Vincenzo were sleeping close together, wrapped up in soft blankets. Suddenly, Daisy jerked awake. Her eyes flew open. She was breathing very fast, and her body was shaking. She was covered in sweat, the sheets were sticking to her skin. In her dream, she had been running, running in the dark forest but she couldn’t get away.She had seen herself back in that horrible room where Madonna kept her. She managed to run away but Madonna was right behind her. She saw herself trip and fall, and saw Madonna raise her hand, ready to stab her with the knife she was holding, a terrifying smile on her face. And just as the pain was about to hit her again, she woke up.Daisy cried quietly. She didn't want to wake Vincenzo. She tried to stop the tears, pushing her face into the pillow so he wouldn’t hear the small, shaking sounds coming from her throat. But the tears just kept coming, hot and fast.Vincenzo, a man who only slept with one ear off, heard her tiny sobs. His eyes opened right

Chapter: Chapter 103Daisy and Vincenzo decided to go out to the small town. They walked hand in hand, looking at the beautiful scenery. The people of the town were so friendly. They were walking past a small house when a couple came out, smiling. The man was holding a guitar, while the woman was holding a bottle of wine. “Hello!” the woman said. “You two look so beautiful together. You look like you're on your honeymoon.” Daisy blushed slightly. “Thank you, and yes, we are on our honeymoon.”“You chose the right place to spend your honeymoon. We are having a small party here with some friends. Just some music and some food. It’s just a small gathering we hold once in a while for the locals. You both should come. It would be so much fun.” The woman invited them.“Umm,” Daisy turned to Vincenzo, as if seeking his approval.Vincenzo was about to decline. But Daisy kept looking at him with those pretty eyes of hers, pouting.“Please, come. It’ll be so much fun. You’ll get to meet other people there as well

Chapter: Epilogue One Year Later The Barrett estate was filled with life, laughter, and warmth. It was the twins’ first birthday, and the garden had been transformed into a magical wonderland with twinkling lights, pastel-colored balloons, and flowers. The scent of freshly baked cakes and savory treats prepared for the celebration filled the air. Raven stood in front of a large mirror in her bedroom, adjusting the delicate lace dress she wore. The gown hugged her figure in all the right places, a testament to how well she'd recovered after giving birth. She had lost some of her confidence after having the babies – her body had gone through so many changes, and she had hated looking in the mirror for a long time until Mason wouldn't allow her to anymore. The thing she was most self-conscious of was the scar from the surgery she had had to have after the babies were delivered. Mason bought matching lingerie and sexy sleepwear and refused to let her question how stunning she was. Every time he saw her h

Chapter: One hundred and seven When they returned to the mansion that evening, the house was eerily quiet."What’s going on?" Raven asked. "Where'd everyone go?""What's that over there?" Blair pointed to a small bouquet on the table. Attached to it was a note that read, Come to the garden.Raven’s heart skipped a beat. She followed the note’s instructions, and when she stepped into the garden, her breath caught.The garden was transformed into a romantic paradise. Twinkling fairy lights adorned the trees, and a path of rose petals led to a small table surrounded by candles."Mason did this," Raven whispered, her heart swelling. Suddenly her aching feet had disappeared, the back pain that had hit her while they were in Victoria’s Secret and signalled the end of the trip. Her exhaustion was gone and she was smiling so much her cheeks hurt. She was already close to tears as she took it all in.Just as she took a step forward, looking for Mason, a sharp pain shot through her abdomen. She grabbed her stomach and cried

Chapter: One hundred and six Later that night, Raven was on a call with Blair, discussing the transformation of Lenora’s modeling agency."I was thinking we could add a design department," Raven suggested. "That way, we can focus on both modeling and fashion."Blair’s excitement knew no bounds. "That’s a great idea! I’ll handle the modeling side, and you can oversee the designs.""Deal," Raven said.After a brief pause, Blair asked, "You sound a bit down, not yourself. What’s wrong?"Raven hesitated. "Nothing, I’m worried about Mason.""Why? You two have been great lately, you’re perfect for each other. You’re even closer than before."Raven bit her lip. "I thought he’d ask me to marry him again by now. But he hasn’t mentioned it and I'm starting to get anxious. What if he doesn’t want me? What if the babies are scaring him off? What if he thinks I’ll be like Candice? What if-"“Raven, breathe. Have you talked to him about it?" Blair asked."No. That’s not something you can just bring up," Raven said.Blair chuck

Chapter: One hundred and five The dining table was filled with different breakfast dishes: fluffy pancakes topped with berries and syrup, scrambled eggs with herbs, smoked salmon on toast, and fresh fruit bowls. In front of Raven was a large bowl full of bacon, strawberry jam, and chocolate sauce – her strangest and most intense craving.Mason sipped his coffee, stealing glances at Raven as she hummed softly, her hand occasionally resting on her baby bump. He had become more attentive than before – which was already overboard according to Julie. He was more proud, more focused, and a lot more protective. Watching her scoff down her food now, still looking as sexy as ever, made his chest hurt a little. So much had happened; she had been through so much; he just wished the worst of it hadn’t been because of him.She sighed and looked up at him, offering him a genuine smile.“What are you looking at?” she asked, but all he could do was shake his head and smile back at her. “Well, you’re being very strange.”“Yeah, bu

Chapter: One hundred and fourJustin found Mason sitting quietly in Charles’s office. He didn’t sit at the desk, rather, he sat at the sofa to the side where they had argued so many times. He stared at his father's desk as if he could still see him sitting and working as they watched when they were children. It was the only thing he and Mason had ever been able to do together without fighting. Thinking back to those moments, Justin couldn't understand why he always felt like he had to one-up Mason, why they couldn't have been friends.He turned to leave him in peace when Mason spoke up.“Remember when we'd just sit here and watched Dad working?” he asked as if he had sensed his presence.“I was just thinking about that.”Mason looked up at him with tears in his eyes, shocking Justin with the vulnerability in the other man's eyes.“Did he suffer?” Mason asked softly, trying to hide the sob that threatened.“No,” Justin said, sitting in the seat across from him. “He just sort of… went.”Mason turned back to look at

Chapter: One hundred and threeMason pulled up to the Barrett mansion early that morning. He had deliberately left his penthouse early, avoiding Candice while she packed her belongings. The last thing he wanted was another confrontation. He wanted no part in her theatrics, they just made his headaches even worse than the blinding migraines he often suffered with.He exited the car and made his way inside.He had barely entered the living room when he spotted Justin coming down the stairs as if he owned the place. He looked… smug.Smug?Or something else?Mason couldn’t quite place it, but it rubbed him the wrong way to see him in his father's house. Justin had never been anything more than a snake in the grass, always waiting to take what Mason had."What the hell are you doing here?" Mason demanded, narrowing his eyes and letting the door close louder than necessary behind him. "Here to gloat about your little affair with Candice? Or measuring the curtains – you know you’re not inheriting the place, right? I’m sti

Chapter: Chapter 48Nadia’s POV Lunch arrived. We ate, and the conversation drifted into easier territory. His work, the economy, a new development project he was considering in the south of France, a restaurant he had been to last week that had genuinely offended him with its portion sizes. It was comfortable in a way I hadn’t expected. Easy in a way that felt almost strange after everything. Then a question I had been turning over for years slipped out before I could think better of it. “Can I ask you something?” Richard nodded without hesitation. “Of course.” I looked at my plate for a moment. Then decided honesty was simpler. “How did you end up with Vivienne?” The smile didn’t disappear from his face angrily. It just faded. Slowly, the way light faded at the end of an afternoon. “Sorry,” I said immediately. “You don’t have to—” “No.” He shook his head. “It’s fine, Nadia. It’s fine.” A long silence followed. He set his fork down. He looked out the window at the street, and for a moment he se

Chapter: Chapter 47Nadia POV I wasn’t planning to eat lunch out today. Actually, I wasn’t planning much of anything. The last few days had been a strange mix of anger, determination, and exhaustion. One moment I would be sketching designs and feeling genuinely hopeful. The next moment I would remember that Vivienne had destroyed my job with a single phone call, and the hope would curdle into something sharper. Then I’d get angry all over again. So when I found myself standing outside a restaurant around noon, I honestly hadn’t thought that far ahead. I just wanted food. And maybe a little peace. And something warm that wasn’t made in my apartment kitchen with whatever was left in my refrigerator. I pushed open the glass door and stepped inside. The restaurant wasn’t crowded. Soft music played somewhere in the background, low and unbothered. A few businessmen occupied tables near the center. A couple sat near the back, sharing a dessert and not speaking, the comfortable kind of silence that only ca

Chapter: Chapter 46Dorian’s POV Because suddenly, with absolute clarity, I knew exactly how the next ten minutes would go if I kept talking. I would start explaining my complicated business frustrations. She would listen to me, sort of. But not really. Her eyes would quickly drift away from my face. Her attention would wander down to her glowing screen. She would nod her head at random intervals, saying “Oh, that’s crazy, babe,” at all the wrong moments. Then, she would seamlessly change the subject to talk about a dress she saw online or a party invitation she received. And somehow, knowing that exact outcome in advance felt a million times worse than if she had just flat out told me to my face that she didn't care about my life. Because she probably did care about me, in her own superficial way. Just not enough to actually look away from her phone. Then, another uninvited memory arrived, slamming into my thoughts. FLASHBACK It was a quiet Tuesday night, two years ago. We were sitting in our old

Chapter: Chapter 45Dorian’s POV I turned my head and looked at her. “What stuff?” She pointed her manicured acrylic nail directly toward the street vendor’s cart. “That. Right there.” I looked back outside at the cart. It was just hot dogs, soft pretzels, and standard New York street food. Nothing unusual at all. “It’s basically literal garbage,” she laughed, a condescending sound. “I mean, seriously, Dorian. People actually pay real money to put that toxic grease into their bodies? It’s completely repulsive.” Then, before I could even reply, she looked straight back down at her phone screen, her thumbs typing away rapidly. The conversation completely ended for her, just like that. She had dismissed those people and that food without a second thought. But as the car sat there in the dark traffic, something strange happened inside my head. A memory surfaced. It was an old memory, one that I didn't ask for, and one that I definitely shouldn't have been thinking about right now. FLASHBACK It was r

Chapter: Chapter 44Dorian’s POV I checked my watch for the fifth time in less than ten minutes. 7:18 PM. Our reservation at the restaurant was strictly for 7:30 PM. It was one of those high-end, ridiculously exclusive spots in Manhattan where if you lose your slot by showing up even ten minutes late, they give your table away to a waiting list of billionaires without a single thought. I was already completely dressed. I was already wearing my tailored charcoal suit, my shoes were shining perfectly, and my tie was knotted tightly against my throat. I was already standing impatiently right near the heavy bedroom door, shifting my weight from one foot to the other. And Lena was still getting ready inside the bathroom. Again. At first, I braced myself and told my irritated brain that this was completely normal. Women always took time to get ready. My mother, Vivienne, took an absolute eternity to prepare for any public event. Every single wealthy woman I had ever known in my social circle took hours to

Chapter: Chapter 43Mara’s POV Later, I went to the terrace for some fresh air and that’s when my phone buzzed on the table. I picked it up and saw Nadia’s name on the screen. I smiled before I could stop myself, the way I always did when she texted, because it meant she was doing something rather than sitting in her apartment being sad, and lately I needed that confirmation more than I liked to admit. Below the preview was a picture attachment and a message. Nadia: What do you think? I opened the image. A fashion sketch filled the screen. A coat, long and structured, with a collar detail that was doing something genuinely interesting at the neck and a hemline that broke all the rules in exactly the right way. It was elegant and confident and specific in a way that designs only are when the person who drew them actually had something to say. Very Nadia. I was still smiling at it when a voice spoke from directly behind my shoulder. “What is that?” I nearly threw my phone from the terrace. “Callu
