登入The entire event had fallen apart because of the sudden turn of events. The baby had been taken while Mrs Wendy looked away for only a brief moment. She was distressed, breaking down in tears as she blamed herself over and over for being careless.....and one could not calm her.Rewind…The annual Moretti Foundation Ball was being held live inside the grand hall of the Moretti family stadium. It was one of the most exclusive events of the year, attended by elites, business tycoons, politicians, and celebrities, all gathered to support Dominic Moretti and his foundation. The entire venue glowed with luxury as guests arrived dressed in expensive designer outfitsThe grand doors slowly opened, and Bianca stepped inside, instantly drawing attention across the ballroom. She wore a stunning dress, her curly hair styled perfectly around her shoulders. Right beside her was Sebastian, dressed in a black tailored suit that made him look effortlessly elegant. Behind them, Mrs Wendy carefully push
It had been three days since they arrived in Germany, and Charles looked like hell, with no sleep, barely any food, just coffee, hospital hallways, and the image of his mother’s face under those harsh white lights. He was driving back to the hospital after stepping out briefly to grab a few things and stop by his hotel. The past few days had taken everything out of him, and it showed… his eyes were heavy, his body drained, like there was nothing left holding him together.As he drove, a car pulled up beside him. From it came the sharp, relentless cry of a baby that nothing seemed to calm. Charles glanced through his left mirror, the sound growing louder as they stayed side by side in the same lane. He pressed harder on the accelerator, speeding past the car, eager to get back to the hospital... and away from the noise. He didn’t need that right now.But barely two minutes later, traffic brought everything to a halt.He leaned back into his seat, already exhausted, trying to catch a fe
Coming out of her car, still feeling giddy, Mrs Clara’s smile faded the moment she saw the Moretti family lawyer, Mr Marco Virelli, stepping out of the house. Marco hadn’t been to the estate in three years…not since Dominic signed the prenup. He didn’t make house calls unless someone was dying, divorcing, or being disinherited.Her steps slowed as he approached. He paused when he recognized her, shifting his briefcase to his left. “Ah… Mrs Clara Moretti, I didn’t expect...”“What is Marco Virelli doing in my house?” Clara cut in smoothly, her tone light but firm as she reached out, stopping him from finishing. He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he glanced past her toward the driveway.Clara tilted her head slightly, waiting. “Changes,” he said simply.The word hit her like ice water. “Changes?” she repeated. “What kind of changes, Marco?”“I think I’ll worry anyway,” Clara replied, still smiling. “My husband and I don’t make changes without discussing them… together.” She watched
Hearing that made Bianca feel a certain way. She hadn’t even come to terms with the fact that Mr Moretti was her father yet. There were too many questions in her mind, and it didn’t feel like the right time to face any of them. She lowered her head, saying nothing, pretending she hadn’t heard what she said.Mrs Clara’s smile remained perfectly in place as she stepped closer. Her gaze drifted to baby Gianna lying peacefully in the crib, and her hand lifted slightly as if she might touch her…before pausing midair.“Doesn’t she look like her father?” she said softly, then turned her eyes to Bianca.Bianca remained still and quiet, giving a slow nod, not fully understanding why she made that comment.Mrs Clara, fully aware of what she was doing, nodded again. Her eyes stayed fixed on Bianca before she added, “Exactly like his father… Charles Warren.”The moment the words left her mouth, Bianca looked up in shock. Her heart began to race as she wondered how Mrs Clara knew about her past. “
A few days passed, and Rosina’s jealousy only grew as she watched Bianca live what looked like a perfect life, a life she believed should have been hers, not Bianca’s. .That morning, she could barely get out of bed. Her body felt nauseous and weak all at once. Somehow, she made it to the bathroom to freshen up, but as she opened a drawer, her eyes landed on a pregnancy test kit. She froze, staring at it for a long moment before slowly picking it up. Two weeks ago, she and Max had lost themselves completely in each other... With shaky hands, she took the test and waited, her heart pounding loudly in her ears.When the result showed two bold lines, her breath hitched violently. It felt like her world stopped. “Oh my God…” she whispered, her voice trembling. “This… this can’t be true.” She started panicking as she splashed water on her face over and over again, hoping she was mistaken but the result didn’t change. The lines were still there bodily. Desperate, she rushed out, determined
Getting back to the Warren estate almost at midnight, a little drunk, a bottle still hanging loosely from her hand, Rosina staggered forward, swaying left and right. The whole place looked different now. The blood had been wiped away... . They had marked it with yellow warning tape- CAUTION: DO NOT CROSS.Rosina walked up to it, her eyes blurry as she swept her gaze across the place, now restricted by the police. She burst out laughing… then weakly clapped her hands. She grabbed the tape and pulled it down, making parts of it fall to the ground and the rest following her upstairs.Her hands fumbled clumsily at the door as it slipped a few times before she got hold of it. “Fuck,” she muttered, turning the door handle and stepping inside the room.Charles was still lying there without any form of movement. Rosina laughed a little harder, seeing him exactly how she wanted…breathing but still…She walked up to his bed and fell on her knees. She laughed as she looked at him, then burst int
The voice echoed so loudly through the house that Mrs Camilla was already out of bed. She quickly pulled the sleep cover from her eyes, muttering a curse under her breath as she hurried toward the door.“Aunt Bianca!”The voice rang through the house again. Mrs Camilla frowned, clearly irritated as
Bianca had just finished her consultation and checkup. Everything had gone well, thank God.She was smiling to herself as she gently held her stomach. Finally, in just a few weeks, she would be put to bed, and she would finally hold her child in her arms.She stepped out of the doctor’s office and l
He stepped even closer after saying those words, holding her in a piercing stare. Rosina looked as if she had seen a ghost, shaking under his intense gaze.“I know you’ve missed me,” he mumbled, inhaling slowly as though breathing her in. “I’ve missed you too…..God knows my heart.” He bent down sli
Rosina gasped hard as the memory snapped back into place. The same shiver that had seized her in the car rushed through her again. She shot up from the bed abruptly as her whole body trembled…As she tumbled forward out of fear, she kicked Charles’s phone farther across the floor.Her breath hitche
