ADRIANA’S POV

“Adriana,” a voice called out. “Adriana, open your eyes.”

I heard my name drifting through the darkness. It was Alessandro calling my name again and again, his voice rough with worry. The sound pulled me upward until my eyes snapped open.

I jolted upright with a gasp, fear flooding my chest like ice water. A strong hand closed around my wrist and held me in place. My heart slammed against my ribs. Roman. It had to be Roman. He had come back to finish what he started.

  • AFTER FIVE YEARS, HE FOUND ME   0028: Fractured Hearts

    ADRIANA’S POVI sat in the passenger seat and watched the city blur past the window. Exhaustion pulled at every bruised muscle in my body, yet a new determination settled in my chest. I had carried this secret long enough. Luca’s relapses came more often now. His little heart could not keep fighting without proper help. Alessandro needed to know the truth. He needed to know Luca was his son and that our boy might not survive another crisis without his father. I planned to tell him the moment we reached the hospital.Alessandro gripped the steering wheel tightly. His jaw stayed locked and his shoulders looked rigid. At first I thought the tension came from our argument, but then I noticed the way his breathing changed. It grew shallower. His forehead glistened with sweat even though the air conditioning blew cool across us. Something was wrong.“Are you okay?” I asked quietly.He nodded once without looking at me. “I am fine. Just focus on Luca.”I did not believe him. His knuckles tur

  • AFTER FIVE YEARS, HE FOUND ME   0027: Shattered Truths

    ALESSANDRO’S POVI stood over the hospital bed with my blood still boiling. Adriana looked small against the white sheets, her face swollen and bruised, yet her eyes held a stubborn fire that only fueled my frustration. I leaned in closer, my voice low at first but gaining heat with every word. “Tell me what really happened five years ago. Why did you marry Roman after everything we shared? I deserve the truth, Adriana.”She turned her head away and stared at the wall. Her fingers gripped the blanket until her knuckles paled. “You do not want to know any of it. Alessandro, please leave the past where it belongs.”“The hell I will leave it.” I slammed my hand on the side rail of the bed. The metal rattled under the force. “The night before your wedding, do you remember? You showed up at my door. We tore each other’s clothes off like the world was ending. You moaned my name for hours while I was inside you. I held you afterward and thought we had forever. Then I woke up alone. No note.

It was Alessandro calling my name again and again, his voice rough with worry. The sound pulled me upward until my eyes snapped open. I jolted upright with a gasp, fear flooding my chest like ice water. A strong hand closed around my wrist and held me in place. My heart slammed against my ribs. Roman. It had to be Roman. He had come back to finish what he started. I turned my head slowly, every movement sending sharp pain through my skull. But it was not Roman. It was Alessandro. He sat beside the hospital bed with his head resting near my hip and his fingers wrapped gently around my wrist. His eyes stayed closed and his breathing came deep and even. Bruises and dried blood still marked his knuckles. He looked exhausted yet somehow peaceful in sleep. I stared at the lines of his face and remembered how he had burst through that warehouse door like vengeance itse

  • AFTER FIVE YEARS, HE FOUND ME   0025: Blood And Regret

    ALESSANDRO’S POVI gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. The engine roared beneath me as I pushed the car faster through the crowded streets. Horns blared around us but I did not slow down. Red lights flashed past in blurs. I swerved around a slow truck and cut across the intersection without a second thought. Rocco sat in the passenger seat beside me. He kept his mouth shut. The others in the back stayed silent too. They knew better than to speak when rage like this consumed me. My men had tracked the signal from her phone. I’d put a tracker on it since the day I found her and I never thought I would have to use that to find her, but here we are. Roman’s idiots left a trail a blind man could follow. Sloppy routes, no signal jammers, and no decoy cars. Only one fool operated with that kind of arrogance. Roman De Santis. The realization burned like acid in my veins. He had taken her again. We reached the old warehouse district on the edge of the city. I slammed

  • AFTER FIVE YEARS, HE FOUND ME   0024: Alessandro… please save me!!

    ADRIANA’S POV“Make sure you eat something today,” Cassian said. “And don’t forget to call me when you get there. Have a nice day, Adriana.” And with that the call ended. I stared down at my phone for a moment, a small smile touching my lips despite everything. I could still hear the concern in his voice. For the past week, that had become normal. Cassian checking on me, Cassian making sure Luca was okay, Cassian reminding me that I wasn’t completely alone.I ended the call with Cassian and slipped the new phone into my bag as I set out to leave for the hospital. Luca had been admitted back into the hospital two days ago after collapsing unexpectedly. The doctors said his condition had stabilized, but that didn’t stop the fear that lived permanently inside my chest. Every phone call terrified me. Every hospital visit felt like walking toward a possible goodbye. I hated it. God, I hated it. I just wanted my son healthy, I just wanted one normal day.I flagged down a taxi and climbed

  • AFTER FIVE YEARS, HE FOUND ME   0023: Blood in the Water

    ALESSANDRO’S POVI sat behind my desk in the dim light of my office and stared at the photograph on the screen. Adriana walked beside that doctor in the market, her head slightly tilted as she listened to him. Cassian looked at her with open adoration in his eyes, the kind of look that made my blood simmer. It’s been one week. She had run from me seven days ago and already another man hovered close enough to smile at her like she belonged to him. I gripped the edge of the desk until the wood creaked. No one had the right to look at her that way. Not while she still carried my mark on her skin and my ring on her finger, even if she had tried to sell it.The tracker in that ring had led my men straight to the jeweler. They recovered it within hours. She thought she could erase me so easily. The thought brought a cold smile to my lips before the anger returned. I enlarged the photo and studied Cassian’s face again. He wanted her. I could see it in the way he angled his body toward her,
