A Wife For Nico Vescari 154.
~CAKE~The fountain in the Russell garden was quiet tonight, water spilling softly over the stone edges. I sat on the bench with my legs tucked under me, letting the cool night air brush over my skin. The surgery cut still pulled when I moved too fast, but the pain had dulled to a manageable ache. For once my mind wasn’t looping through guilt or loss. I just sat there, breathing, watching the water catch the lights from the house behind me.Footsteps approached on the grass I didn’t turn. I already knew who it was.Nico sat at the far end of the bench, leaving space between us. He didn’t speak right away. Neither did I. “How are you doing?” he asked finally. “Gustavo said you’re healing up well.”I nodded, smacking my lips once. “Yes. I’m fine.”He reached into his jacket and placed a thick envelope on the bench between us. “This is for you.”I glanced at it, then back at him. “What is it?”“A list of properties I’ve transferred into your name.” He kept his voice even, but I caught t

~NICO~Enzo stood in the dim basement light, arms crossed, staring at the covered figure tied to the chair. “Do you know why she sent it?”I didn’t answer right away. The burner message from Bianca had come hours earlier, with a wink emoji. Russell’s men had intercepted it at the gate — a large bag thrown from a moving vehicle. Inside was Adriano, beaten but alive, delivered like a gift. Bianca was playing her own game now.I pulled the cover off Adriano’s head. He blinked against the light, face already bruised, eyes wide with fear and defiance. I looked at him for a long moment and laughed. “They really sent you back to me. Must have pissed them off that badly.”Enzo moved fast. His fist connected with Adriano’s face with a sick crack. Adriano’s head snapped to the side. Raffaele grabbed Enzo from behind and pulled him back before he could do it again. “If you keep going, you’ll kill him too quick,” Raffaele said quietly. “We need answers first.”Adriano spat blood onto the floor an

~BIANCA~The meeting room reeked of cigar smoke and cheap cologne. Tomaso’s men sat around the long table like dogs waiting for scraps, their voices overlapping in useless noise about sightings and dead ends. I stood near the window, arms crossed, watching them with the patience that came from knowing I was the smartest person in the room. Tomaso paced at the head of the table, face flushed with anger as he slammed a fist down.“We had him,” he growled. “We had that bastard in our grasp and you let him slip away. Again.”I kept my expression neutral, lips painted the deep red I favored. The color always made men stare a little too long. It reminded them I was beautiful. It reminded them I was dangerous. Tomaso turned his glare on me.“And you,” he said, voice dripping with contempt. “You were supposed to stay until the job was finished. You were supposed to watch him die. Instead you ran like a frightened little girl. Now he’s out there somewhere, alive, and who knows what he’s planni

~CAKE~The car ride back from the fast food was quiet, and felt almost peaceful. Enzo didn’t push for conversation, and I didn’t offer any. The salt air still clung to my clothes, and my body ached from the slow walk on the sand, but for the first time in days I felt a little less like I was drowning. We pulled up to the Russell mansion and I thanked him softly before stepping out. He gave me a small nod and turned off the engine.Nico was waiting at the entrance like he had been standing there for hours. His eyes found me immediately. I kept walking, passing him without a word. His hand shot out and caught my wrist.“Tesoro.”I pulled free, the motion sending a dull throb through my stomach where the surgery scars still pulled. “Leave me the fuck alone, Nico.”I didn’t look back. I walked straight to the room I had been recovering in, closed the door behind me, and took my medication with a glass of water. The pills went down bitter. I climbed onto the bed, propped myself up against

~CAKE~I woke up to an empty room and the weight of everything I had lost.Elianna had told me the truth days ago, right after I opened my eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed with red eyes and a shaky voice and said the words I already knew in my bones.The baby was gone. The surgery had removed the damaged tissue but the trauma had been too much. Nothing left to save. I had cried until my throat hurt and my eyes swelled shut. Then I cried some more. Nico never came to see me. He sent orders instead. I was not allowed to leave this room until Gustavo cleared me. So I stayed in bed, staring at the ceiling, replaying every mistake I had made.If I had told him I was pregnant, he never would have let me go with them, and our baby would still be here. The guilt sat on my chest like a stone I could not push off. I kept thinking about the way I had curled around my stomach in that warehouse, trying to protect something that was already slipping away. All of it because I had been scared to

~NICO~Javier arrived with his men just as the flames started licking at the walls. He got us out fast, pulling Cake from my arms and loading her into one of the waiting cars while I covered them. The ride to Gustavo’s private clinic passed in a blur of blood and sirens. I held her the entire way, her head against my chest, her breathing too shallow. Enzo sat across from me, bleeding.Gustavo met us at the back entrance. He took one look at Cake and started shouting orders. They rushed her into surgery. I stood in the hallway with blood on my hands and watched the doors close behind her. Enzo dropped into a chair, leg stretched out while one of Gustavo’s people worked on the gunshot. I stayed on my feet.The wait stretched. I leaned against the wall, eyes fixed on those doors. My mind kept replaying the warehouse. Cake curled around her stomach trying to protect our child from boots and fists. I had failed them both.When Gustavo finally came out, his face told me everything before he

~CAKE~The gates slide open as the car pulls in, and I’m already tired.Not physically. Just… people.Ignacio didn't say a word the entire ride home. Smart man.I step out, smoothing my hands over my jeans like that’s going to fix anything about the mood I just walked into. The house is lit up, cal

~NICO~Enzo held out a cloth without saying a word.I took it and wiped my hands slowly, watching as the last of the bodies were dragged across the concrete floor. The men I used for cleanup worked efficiently, the way they always did. No hesitation, no questions. They knew their job.Enzo glanced

~CAKE~“—and then he had the audacity to say I wasn’t focused,” I said, laughing as I shook my head. “Like I wasn’t the one carrying his entire training session.”Luca snorted, leaning back against the low concrete ledge by the river. “You? Carrying someone? Never.”“Shut up,” I shot back, tossing

~CAKE~The car stopped in front of my mother’s house, and I didn’t wait for anyone to open the door for me before stepping out.“Come back for me later,” I said, already reaching for my bag.Neither of them moved.I turned, brows raised. “Did you hear what I said?”One of them shifted. “We’re suppo
