A black Maybach came to a halt at the entrance of the Romano villa; inside, Natalie reached for her bag and asked,

โ€œAre you coming in? I can introduce you to my mother.โ€ But Lucas shook his head and replied,

โ€œI don't want to run into your cousin. Maybe we can arrange a dinner, and then you introduce me to your mother.โ€ Natalie smiled and took Lucas' hand and said,

โ€œMy cousin doesn't live here; he lives in the outskirts of town. So you can come in if you want to.โ€ Lucas' interest piqued at the mention of Xavier's location.

โ€œWhy?โ€

โ€œCan I tell you a secret?โ€ Natalie asked, leaning in when Lucas nodded and whispered into his ear, โ€œMy cousin is a mafia. With the police constantly meddling in our family's underground businesses, um, our family has a safe house hidden in the mountains where the current head of the mafia and his family live till he retires.โ€ Lucas' eyes widened at the revelation.

โ€œOh nice, I didn't know. So does that mean your cousin is living alone in that place? I bet

    After Lucas left, he instructed his driver to send him to the firing range. He wanted to vent his anger after the revelation. He didn't care about all the hundreds of yeses ringing in his head that Reina was Xavier's wife; she's still his wife, and he will claim her back. Reina can only be his. He will kill Xavier if that's the only way to have her back.~Thirty minutes later, Lucas arrived at the firing range. And after signing the waiver, the safety officer guided Lucas to a box after preparing his weapons, a pistol, a rifle, a sniper, and other firearms, making a total of five guns on the table in front of him. He put on the protective ear gear and glasses and reached for the pistol and started shooting.Imagine the target as Xavier; the first shot went straight to the bold 'X' on the heart. A satisfying grin appearing on his face as he continued firing at the same spot till the bullets ran out and he took another weapon. He shot six times at the target head as he chanted the word

    It was a few minutes past 6 pm when Lucas arrived at the location the private investigator gave him. He got out of the car and walked through the front lawn, and judging by how trimmed the grass of the lawn was, he realized there was someone accommodating the house. He climbed up the stairs, stepping onto the veranda, then pressed the doorbell. He had lifted his hand to press the bell once again when the knob turned. The door opened, and a middle-aged woman, Rosario, came into view. One look at Lucas' face that reminded her of her late sister, his gray eyes that were the exact color, she opened her mouth as the name, โ€œLucas?โ€ escape it. Lucas frowned as a whirlwind of thoughts swirled in his mind. โ€˜How did the woman know who he was? Could it be that they knew where he was all this while but did not reach out to him?โ€™ Before Lucas could voice his thoughts, the woman said, โ€œOh, my goodness, you are alive! I knew you didn't die. My boy,โ€ she said, throwing her arms around Lucas, embra

    Xavier sat Reina on the bed and went into the bathroom. He returned a few minutes later and gently pushed her down on the bed, her hair spread on the pillow, her cheeks crimson as she held his gaze. Xavier smiled at her softly, and Reina returned it nervously, her body trembling slightly. She was shy now that she thinks about it. Even though she had had sex with Xavier, imagining him looking at her so intimately made her nervous and excited with anticipation at the same time. Xavier, seeing her nervousness, began to gently caress her thighs. He spread her legs wide and knelt between her legs. "So beautiful," Xavier breathed, his breath caught inside his throat as his eyes fixed on Reina's red pussy calling out to him. Reina, feeling bare and exposed, tried to clamp her legs shut, but Xavier's grip on her inner thighs, gentle but firm, held her in place. โ€œDon't move; allow me to relieve you,โ€ Xavier said, bending over and placing a lingering wet kiss on her closed pussylips, inhal

    After what felt like an eternity, Lucas finally reached his climax. He was sensible enough to pull his dick out of Ximena and cum on the sheets. Ximena lay there, her eyes bloodshot as her body was covered in sweat. โ€˜How did she end up like this? She met her long-lost cousin for the first time, and they already had sex?โ€™ She was so tired after all the effort she used to push Lucas away, but he prevented her. Just then Lucas hovered over her, and that snapped her out of her thoughts. She pushed him away just as he asked her. โ€œAre you okay?โ€ Ximena scoffed, disbelief etching her features. She sat up and slapped Lucas hard across the face. โ€œI asked you to stop. But you forced me. I hate you! I wish you had indeed died!โ€ With that, she got off the bed and hurried out; lucky for her, there was no one in the corridor. Ximena had entered her room when she jumped in fright. โ€œMarco, when did you come?โ€ She asked, her voice trembling. โ€œWhat happened to you? Did you cry?โ€ Marco questioned,

    ~Sicily~ It was a few minutes past 12 PM when Lucas and Rosario arrived at the mall. Even though Lucas had insisted it was okay, he would just ask his driver to get his clothes from the hotel. However, Rosario insisted he came to the mall with her since the clothes they got weren't his size. They approached a luxury boutique. An assistant approached them with a warm smile and said, โ€œHi, welcome to our boutique. I will be your assistant to help you check out the clothes you are interested in.โ€ Rosario points at Lucas and says, โ€œI need clothes in his size.โ€ Just then Lucas' phone started to ring. He brought out the phone, and it was Bianca. He smirked inwardly as he thought. โ€˜After refusing to answer all his calls, who is calling now?โ€™ He turned to Rosario and said, โ€œI will get this; you go ahead.โ€ Rosario nodded and walked away. Lucas went to the dressing area, and just then his phone began to ring again. He saw a flimsy red lingerie on a mannequin, and he imagined how it would look

    โ€œReina...โ€ the name slipped out of Lucas' lips. He had been looking forward to this, the day he would finally come face to face with Reina after almost two months apart. But this wasn't what he had anticipated, the expression on her face as she looked at him. โ€œReina, I can explainโ€ฆ please,โ€ he said, reaching for her hand, but she recoiled away from his touch and demanded, โ€œTell me! Tell me it wasn't true! Tell me I heard wrong that the man I spent four fucking years of my life with didn't pay a random man to have sex with me!โ€ โ€œI'm sorry, mi amor; I regret my decision back then. I love you. I realized it too late," Lucas explained, his voice tender as he searched Reina's face for a sign of understanding. โ€œOh, I'm so happy; my husband loves me,โ€ Reina exclaimed sarcastically, tears streaming down her face. Just then her eyes widened, as if recalling something, as she demanded, โ€œSo it was all a plan, you changing overnight? You really couldn't stand me, so you decided to set me up,

    The car Reina was riding in glided through the darkening streets. They had turned onto the forest route when suddenly, the headlight of another car from behind shone in the car. She turned to look back just as the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat informed her it was the boss. Reina's heart skipped a beat as she thought of what to do; feeling out of ideas, she instructed the other bodyguard driving the car. โ€œKeep driving; don't give him the impression we have noticed them, orโ€ฆโ€ Reina's speech was interrupted by the honking sound of Xavier's car. โ€œMadam?โ€ The driver awaited Reina's instructions. Reina could see the panic expression on the bodyguards faces. They were scared of the impending wrath Xavier would unleash on them. โ€œStop,โ€ Reina ordered, and the car halted. Reina watched as Xavier, dressed in his signature all-black, got out of his car, still looking ravishing, even with the frown twisting his face and the deadly aura surrounding him as he approached.

    Xavier, with Reina in his arms, walked out of the glass gazebo; he locked it and hurriedly walked back into the mansion, his heart racing as he inwardly chided himself. โ€˜How could he have thought he could take her there, knowing how much she cherished that place?โ€™ Tonight, he felt happy with the way things were going that he forgot he didn't have to do anything that might trigger Reina's memory. Tonight he had wanted to show and tell her everything. That she was his wife, for God's sake. He can't anymore. He wants to go to bed with his wife in his arms. Her face to be the first he sees when he opens his eyes. โ€˜Is that too much? To want his life to be whole?โ€™ On reaching the floor where their rooms were located, he had wanted to take her to his room but decided against it. Xavier gently placed Reina on her bed. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed Dr. Emiliano, who answered on the first ring. โ€œBoss,โ€ his voice sounded. โ€œCome to my wife's room immediately.โ€ Xavier
