AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.

“What?” My jaw dropped. “That’s absurd.”

Olivia escaping wasn’t what shocked me; it was the fact that she’d stolen something. I couldn’t believe it, and I didn’t.

Rosa swallowed hard, her eyes repeatedly blinking at me.

“Non volevo tenerlo lontano da te,” [I didn’t mean to keep it away from you,] she muttered. “But she forced me to—‘

“—Quit lying!” I snapped at her, taking quick steps forward. “Olivia would never do such things.”

Stealing? What on earth could she possibly steal? For some reason, I felt like I’d established something with her that would never make her want to escape.

She’d begged me to reconsider my marriage to Nelly, and as badly as I wanted to, I couldn’t do anything.

Was that why she’d left?

Because she was hurt and felt betrayed?

I stared at the phone in my hand—her phone. It wasn’t coincidental or deliberate that she’d left it. Something had happened, and observing that room explained more than what a single glance could see.

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.“A month?” I arched my brows. “For what?”It was the first time in years that I was speaking to Donatello over the phone. And having that conversation triggered the bad blood we had.“I hate repeating myself, Salvatore.”“I’m not having a wedding in a month’s time,” I panted, pacing around with my right hand inside my pocket. “It’s too early.”A brief pause ensued. I halted in my tracks, my eyes glaring at the glass of whiskey that was on my table.“My daughter is carrying your heir.” I hated the sound of that, the way he spoke proudly like he owned me. “The least you could do is hurry up with the wedding.”‘Heir’ like I wanted that fucking baby.I ran my palm over my face, silently burning with the imaginary smoke that blew off my ears.“We had a fucking deal,” I gritted my teeth.“And I’m keeping to my part of the bargain. All you’ve got to do is give Nelly the wedding of her dreams.”I grabbed the glass and threw it over the wall, sending it crashing into seve

    OLIVIA“When did you return to this?” I asked, my lips quivering at his menacing figure. “You swore that you changed, but… you only managed to hide everything perfectly.”I’d done wrong, I knew. But Axel? He’d morphed back into his beast form. That wasn’t part of his promises to me, and I couldn’t imagine living with this old personality of his.He huffed, tilting his head forward as I swallowed hard. I matched his gaze with twitching eyes, my whole body trembling.“Get the fuck out of my sight, Olivia,” he growled.He was still furious, his mouth threatening to spit fire. That part of me was something I couldn’t face again, so I ignored his dismissal and proceeded to say the words bothering my mind.“Are you really getting married to Nelly?” The question was too painful to ask. And I’d lost a part of my sanity ever since I heard the news. “Is that more important than us?”“Us?” Axel scoffed, his eyes blazing as he chuckled bitterly. “There’s no ‘us.’”“There was!” I screeched, hatin

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.“W-what?”Maybe I didn’t hear right. She’d fucked who?Her words sent my heart racing faster than a sports car. For a split second, everything appeared blurry, even her petite figure standing in front of me.How could she? I didn’t want to believe it. Olivia knew the gravity of what she’d done. The crime she’d committed. I watched her struggle to keep her tears from falling, her eyes already throbbing and red.But that didn’t mean anything. It wouldn’t solve anything. She hadn’t just given her body to another man but had lowered the reputation that was held up high.My reputation.“I’m—I’m sorry,” she pleaded, trying to reach for me by tugging at my arm.“Sorry?” I snapped, my voice a low growl. “You’re sorry for fucking Alessandro?”“It was a mistake.” Her voice was soft as the words slipped out of her quivering lips. “I didn’t mean to. I was mad at you and—‘“—I told you everything was for the wrong girl,” Viper chipped in, blowing thick smoke into the air. He

    OLIVIA“Does Axel know that you’ve been fucking other men?”Other men?My breath hitched at the question as I stared at him. Viper glared at me like he had the intention of setting me ablaze, a smirk at the corner of his lips.“N-No. I—‘ I stammered, but he interrupted me hoarsely.“— I heard everything.” He took a step closer, making me retreat with my heart hammering against my chest. “You’ve been fucking the gardener.”I swallowed, my eyelids fluttering. He already knew. And he was going to tell Axel for sure.Alessandro had walked off after Viper told him to. I’d tried to leave, but he’d caught me by the arm, forcing me to stay.His eyes narrowed, and he tilted his head forward, almost brushing his lips against my skin.“It’s such a pity that he puts everything at risk just for you to cheat on him.”Cheat on him? We weren’t even… a thing.Well, maybe we were.“I didn’t cheat on him,” I snapped. “Alessandro and I… we only had sex once, and it was a mistake.”“Have a good time expla

    OLIVIAStaying indoors, trying to keep a low profile, made my bones ache with restlessness. I hadn’t seen Axel in days, and to make matters worse, Nelly had moved back into the house.She was back to her old ways—yelling at the staff, barking orders, and looking for anyone to take her anger out on. But this time, I wasn’t going to be one of her minions. Something had shifted inside me. My confidence was returning, and I wasn’t going to give her the chance to bully me anymore.That afternoon, I escaped the suffocating walls of my room and strolled into the garden. The sweet scent of flowers wafted through the air, and the warm breeze kissed my skin.I should have known he would be there. I had been avoiding him for days. Yet, there he was, crouching a few feet away, his face buried in the plants he was tending.He didn’t know I was there. I tried to spin around, to run, to walk away like I hadn’t been there at all.It was too late.“Olivia.” His hoarse voice stopped me.I swallowed ha
