Chapter 6

Author: Celebrant
The check bore Isabella's signature. The pregnancy report, however, showed I was three months along.

Enzo couldn't believe it. His hand holding the report trembled slightly. "Isabella… How dare you…"

At that moment, Isabella burst through the door, clearly rushing to catch up with him. When she saw the check in his hand, she went from anxious to guilty at the drop of a hat.

"Enzo, listen to me…" she stammered.

He turned toward her, his eyes and voice bone-chilling. "Go on. I'm listening."

Isabella bit her lip, tears shimmering in her eyes. "I just… I only wanted to test her for you, Enzo. Look—she even dared to accept two million dollars. Doesn't that prove she's greedy?"

Enzo's eyes turned ice-cold. A cruel smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "A test? And who gave you the right to meddle? If it weren't for you, Bianca wouldn't have left!"

Her face was pale, but she wasn't giving up just yet. "I did it for you. I'm the one who's a right fit for you. What does Bianca have?"

    To my surprise, Enzo made up his mind to stay here.I was busy with work and didn't pay much attention to him, only hearing bits and pieces from the team now and then. They said he watched me move through the disaster zone day after day, always on the move.He also saw me climb hundreds of feet up the ice cliffs to install monitoring equipment, in hopes of collecting data for early warnings.That was when Enzo realized the woman who lived under his shadow, following him around without a voice of her own, wasn't the real me. Instead, I was strong, educated, capable, and independent.This version of me felt both unfamiliar and captivating to him.About two weeks later, I suddenly received an alert about another avalanche nearby. A child had been trapped under the collapsed slope.Before anyone could react, Enzo rushed in and used his own body to shield the kid from the falling debris. The child survived, but his arm took the hit. He was bleeding badly.When I heard the news, I cou

    At long last, I finally stepped into the university I had dreamed of since I was a child. When Antonio saw me in the laboratory, he broke into a genuine smile. "You're finally here, Bianca. Glad to have you."I reciprocated a grateful smile. "Thank you, Prof. Greco. It's an honor to be in your lab."He patted my shoulder. "Work hard. I have high hopes for you. And don't worry about the baby. The faculty has arranged housing for expectant mothers, so you can focus on taking care of yourself."If you ever need help, just come to me."A month later, I joined the research team for a glacier expedition in Hextray. Antonio had originally objected."It's too dangerous for you," he had said. "One wrong step, and you could be lost in the mountains. With your pregnancy, it's all the more reason why you shouldn't go."However, I insisted on going with the team. "Prof. Greco, I have my reasons. I must go."I knew, with Enzo's resources, that it was only a matter of time before he tracked me

    As a mafia boss, Enzo's birthday party was always the event of the year. Politicians, business leaders, and all the members of his organization attended.This year, with Isabella by his side, the party's buzz reached an even higher pitch."Long time no see, Ms. Gallo. You're as stunning as ever.""Mio dio. You two are such a perfect match—childhood sweethearts, and now both of your families have business ties," another commented.Isabella smiled sweetly, and Enzo stood beside her, listening to their praise without saying a word. He wore a navy blue suit that made him look tall and imposing.She happily linked arms with his, but a sense of uneasiness slithered beneath his calm composure. The reason was simple—I hadn't arrived.After waiting for another 30 minutes, his expression was as dark as coal. Quietly, he asked Romeo beside him, "Where is she?"Romeo shook his head, clueless. "Not here yet, sir."A strange irritability rose in him. As a mafia boss, he was used to controlli

    Over the next few days, the mansion became Isabella's stage. She sat by the window, saying, "Enzo, come be my model! I want to paint you."Sunlight spilled across her canvas as she smiled up at Enzo. He put away the documents and walked over, gently ruffling her hair. "Of course. As long as it makes you happy."He sat on the couch, patiently posing, his eyes full of an indulgence I had never seen before. It was a softness that came straight from his heart."Come take a walk with me in the garden, will you? The doctor said I need more exercise," she said, linking her arm with his and pouting playfully.He smiled and rose, strolling out of the room with her. I stood by the window, bitterness in my chest as I watched them walking shoulder to shoulder.Placing a hand over my belly, I whispered, "Now that your Papa's amore mio is back, Mamma will take you somewhere new and start over, tesoro."Later, I heard Isabella in the kitchen, softly begging, "Cook for me, Enzo. Ti prego."Enzo

    That night, back at home, I quietly started packing my things. The walk-in closet had once been filled with the jewelry and bags Enzo had given me, each piece carrying a memory of our sweet moments.Now, I pulled them out one by one and tossed them into trash bags. Even the photos, in which we smiled so happily without a care in the world, had become unnecessary clutter. I gathered them all, ready to throw them away.I watched as the room slowly returned to the state of emptiness it was before I arrived. The warmth of those memories surged like waves and then receded, leaving only desolation.Once, we had cuddled on that very couch, watching movies. He would hold me gently in his arms, and we would laugh like carefree kids.On the balcony, the flowers we had planted together still bloomed. Little did they know, their owners were about to part ways. On the desk sat the pair of clay figurines we had sculpted together, symbols of our love.Now, everything screamed irony in my face. I
