A Wife For Nico Vescari 113.
~CAKE~I spent all of yesterday grieving my mother.Not pretending to be okay. Not distracting myself. Not letting Sienna drag me into another game or letting Nico hold me until I forgot what happened for five minutes.I stayed in my room and let it hit me properly.I cried until my head hurt, slept for barely two hours, woke up missing her all over again, then cried some more because I kept reaching for my phone to call her before remembering there was no one left to answer.By the time morning came, I felt wrung out.Not better. Just emptied.Which was probably why I agreed to this whole hacking thing in the first place. Sitting still meant thinking too much, and thinking too much always dragged me back to her.Nico had everything I asked for yesterday prepared before I even came out of my room.The space I asked for was two doors down from his office. Bigger than I expected. One wall had already been lined with equipment, two monitors, fresh systems, external drives, cables, a secu

~NICO~I had her sent for first thing in the morning.By the time Enzo walked into my office, I was already going through the same set of facts for the third time. Tomaso knew about his driver. My sources confirmed it, not long after sunrise. No retaliation yet. No message. No move.That wasn't a relief. That was a delay.Enzo stopped in front of my desk, his attention going straight to the briefcase sitting in the center.“You’re actually going through with this,” he said.I didn’t look up immediately. “We don’t have time to wait.”“We didn’t have time yesterday either, and look how that turned out,” he replied.I leaned back slightly in my chair, finally meeting his gaze. “Cut her some slack, she handled it.”“She got lucky,” he said.“She didn’t get lucky,” I replied. “She did exactly what she went there to do.”“And she could have died doing it,” Enzo snapped.I held his gaze. “But she didn’t.”That didn’t satisfy him. I could see it in the way his jaw tightened, in the way he shi

~CAKE~I blink.He’s in a dark t-shirt and low-slung sweatpants, his hair slightly damp like he didn’t bother styling it, and somehow that makes him look even hotter.Sienna claps again. “Look at this. They can dress like normal people.”Enzo rolls his eyes. “Careful. You’re going to make me feel underdressed.”“You should,” she shoots back.Javier walks over to Elianna without hesitation, his hand brushing hers briefly before he sits beside her. It’s small, but it’s there.Nico’s gaze finds mine almost immediately, and whatever I was thinking before fades into the background as he walks over and sits down beside me.Enzo drops onto the floor across from us, stretching his legs out. “So this is what we’re doing now?”“Yes,” Sienna says. “And you’re going to behave.”“Not my strong suit.”“That’s obvious.”The room settled into something warmer, and messier.Food shows up at some point. I don’t even remember who ordered it or when, but suddenly there are boxes, drinks, snacks scattered

~CAKE~I slam the door behind me and lean against it for a second, staring at nothing.Enzo’s voice is still ringing in my head, every word louder now that I’m alone. Reckless. Stupid. Like I don’t already know what I did, like I didn’t feel every second of it with my own hands.“Idiot,” I mutter under my breath, not even sure if I mean him or myself.I push off the door and head straight for the bathroom. I don’t bother easing into anything. I turn the shower on, strip out of my clothes, and step under the water like I’m trying to wash the entire day off me.The funeral. The people. The dirt hitting the coffin. His face. The blood.It all mixes together in a way I can’t separate.I stay there longer than I should, until my skin starts to prickle and my head feels heavy from standing too long. When I finally step out, I don’t feel better, just cleaner.I dry off, pull on a loose top and a long pair of pajama trousers, making sure the fabric covers my leg completely. The last thing I n

~CAKE~I didn’t think it would feel this final.I knew what a burial meant. I knew what it looked like, what it was supposed to be, but standing here and watching them lower the coffin into the ground makes something settle in my chest in a way nothing else has. There’s no arguing with this part. No delaying it, no pretending it isn’t happening. This is the moment that makes everything permanent.Elianna’s hand hasn’t left mine since we got here.She’s standing close enough that our arms brush, her grip firm, like she’s anchoring me without making it obvious. I let her. I don’t have the energy to pull away, and if I’m being honest, I don’t want to stand here alone.Everyone is dressed in black. It should feel uniform, respectful, but all I can think about is how many of these people I don’t know. Faces I’ve never seen before, voices I’ve never heard, all standing here to watch my mother be buried because of who I’m married to.Nico’s associates.Men in suits, women who look polished a

~NICO~I didn’t go to her immediately.That was the first decision I made after seeing her walk into the house with blood on her hands and something in her eyes that told me she had already done what she set out to do. Every instinct in me had pushed to follow her, to drag the answer out of her right there in the hallway, but instinct is not what keeps things from falling apart. Information does.So I let her go to her room.Then I start making calls.Tomaso picks up on the second ring. “Nico,” he greets, his tone easy in a way that would fool anyone who doesn’t know better. “To what do I owe the call?”“My wife snuck out of the house,” I say, keeping my voice level. “I just wanted to confirm if she stopped by, perhaps to see Bianca?”There’s a brief pause, not suspicious, just enough to suggest he’s recalling it.“Yes, she did,” he replies. “She said she needed to see Bianca. She looked… shaken. I assumed it was about her mother.”“That’s why I’m calling,” I say. “She stepped out wit
