Alessandro stood.

"Talk."

"Your father-in-law's security detail just reported that his house has been entered."

Valentina's face drained.

"What!!!?"

Alessandro raised a hand, listening.

"Is Antonio there?"

"We haven't confirmed his location. The front door was open. There's no sign of forced entry."

"Find him."

"We're searching now."

Alessandro ended the call.

Valentina pushed the blanket away.

"I'm coming with you."

"No."

"Alessandro...."

"Your father is missing. I'm going to find him. You're

I'm going to find him. You're staying here."She stared at him."He's my father.""And you're my wife. You're carrying our child, and I am not risking either of you!!."Her eyes filled with frustration."Don't use the baby to end every argument."He stepped closer."I'm not ending an argument. I'm trying to keep you safe."For a moment, neither spoke.Then Valentina reached for his hand."Bring my father home."He bent and kissed her forehead."I will."By evening, the mansion had become a fortress.Men stood at every entran

    The first thing Alessandro learned that morning was that his wife had developed an unreasonable hatred for eggs.The second was that she intended to make it everybody else's problem."Take it away."Alessandro looked down at the breakfast tray. "You asked for eggs.""I asked for scrambled eggs.""These are scrambled eggs.""They look suspicious."He stared at the plate, then at her."Suspicious?"Valentina nodded, pulling the blanket higher around her waist. "Look at them, Alessandro. They have done something wrong."He pressed his lips together."You're accusing breakfast of a crime?""I'm pregnant. I have rights."A laugh escaped him before he could stop it."Of course you do, amore."He picked up the plate."And what would Her Majesty prefer?"She considered it for a moment."Strawberries.""Anything else?""Chocolate.""Naturally.""And maybe pancakes.""Maybe?""Don't question me. Just bring them."He leaned down and kissed her forehead."You're lucky I love you."She caught his

    That evening, Sofia joined them for dinner. She brought a bag of baby clothes and immediately demanded to see the nursery. When she saw the cot, she tilted her head. “Why is it leaning?” Marco nearly choked on his drink. Alessandro closed his eyes. Valentina burst out laughing. “Thank you! I've been saying the same thing.” “It is not leaning,” Marco protested. Sofia pressed a hand against one side. The cot shifted slightly. Everyone stared. Marco slowly removed his hand. “Okay. Perhaps it needs a little adjustment.” Alessandro pointed toward the door. “Get out.” “It's my niece or nephew's cot too!” “Not anymore.” Valentina laughed so hard that Alessandro immediately came to her side. “Careful, cara.” “I'm fine.” Sofia sat beside her. “Have you thought about names?” Valentina nodded. “Alessandro wants Matteo.” Sofia smiled. “That's our grandfather's name.” “I know. He thinks it's perfect.” “And what do you want?” Valentina hesit

    “Alessandro, you're staring.” “I'm not.” “You've been staring at me for five minutes.” “I'm observing.” Valentina lowered her spoon. “Observing what?” He glanced at her stomach. “Our child.” She looked down at her slightly rounded belly, then back at him. “The baby is not going anywhere.” “You don't know that.” She blinked. “Are you planning to keep watch over my stomach now?” “If necessary , I ...will..” Valentina shook her head, laughing. It was becoming a habit. Ever since the baby had started moving, Alessandro had developed an entirely new personality. The man who once terrified half of New York now stopped in the middle of important conversations because he thought he felt a kick. Yesterday, he had interrupted Marco's business report to ask whether babies could hear music. The day before that, he had called the doctor because Valentina sneezed three times. She was beginning to suspect that pregnancy had affected both of them. “Come here,” she said. Alessand

    By lunchtime, Marco had become the latest victim of Valentina's pregnancy cravings. He entered the sitting room carrying a folder. “Alessandro asked me to bring these documents.” Valentina was curled up on the sofa, watching television. She looked at him. “Marco?” He stopped. “Why do I feel like I'm about to be sent on an errand?” “Because you're my brother.” “That's not an answer.” She smiled. “I want ice cream.” He nodded. “There's ice cream in the freezer.” “Not that one.” “Which one?” “Vanilla.” “Okay.” “With chocolate syrup.” “Fine.” “And crushed biscuits.” He started toward the kitchen. “Anything else?” She considered it. “Fried yam.” Marco stopped walking. Slowly, he turned around. “I'm sorry. What?” “Fried yam.” “With ice cream?” She nodded. Marco stared at her. Then he looked at Alessandro, who had just entered the room. “Your wife is trying to kill me.” Alessandro shrugged. “Welcome to fatherhood.” “I'm

    At 2:17 a.m., Alessandro De Luca discovered that his wife was capable of committing a crime against his sleep. “Alessandro.” He didn't move. “Alessandro.” A sleepy groan escaped him. “Hmm?” “I want mangoes.” He opened one eye. “Mangoes?” She nodded. “Fresh mangoes. The sour ones.” He glanced at the clock. “It's two in the morning, val.” “I can see that.” “Fruit shops are closed.” “Then find one that's open.” He stared at her. She stared back. For a moment, neither spoke. Then Valentina turned away and pulled the blanket over her shoulder. “It's fine. Forget it.” Alessandro sat up immediately. “No, no. Don't do that.” “Do what?” “Use that voice.” “What voice?” “The one that makes me feel like I've personally disappointed the entire Russo family.” She pressed her lips together, trying not to smile. “I'm pregnant, Alessandro. I can't help what I want.” He ran a hand over his face, then reached for his phone. “Fine. Mangoes.” “
