Chiara’s POV

I looked down at my dress, genuinely unsure what was wrong with it. Yes, it was more revealing than the conservative outfits I’d worn throughout our marriage, but I didn’t think it warranted the fierce glare Luciano De Luca was giving me now.

Did he think I was embarrassing him?

Was I embarrassing him?

Suddenly, he grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Giacomo.

ā€œHeyā€”ā€ Giacomo started, but the moment Luciano’s furious gaze snapped toward him, the words died in his throat.

  • Ex Luna's Revenge Ā Ā Ā Chapter 108

    Luciano's POV ā€œI want the truth, Silvia,ā€ I said, my voice firm, leaving no space for evasion. For a moment, she only stared at me, her wide, trembling gaze slowly hardening into something sharp and dangerous. The fear melted away, replaced by anger that burned just beneath the surface. ā€œSo you trust him over me?ā€ she asked, her voice rising with disbelief. ā€œGive me a reason not to,ā€ I replied, unyielding. In the past, I had allowed guilt to cloud my judgment. I had been the one to introduce Silvia to Ricardo, and when everything fell apart between them, I carried that weight as if it were my own sin. Because of that, I never questioned her story as deeply as I should have. I had told myself that no one would fabricate something so cruel, so damaging. Now I could see how wrong I had been. ā€œFine,ā€ she said at last, her voice tight, as if each word cost her something. ā€œMaybe I exaggerated parts of it.ā€ ā€œIt’s all lies,ā€ Ricardo cut in, his voice sharp with frustration. I turned b

  • Ex Luna's Revenge Ā Ā Ā Chapter 107

    Luciano's POV Without another word, Silvia Romano shoved past Doctor B and the masked assistant, her composure shattering as she rushed into the hallway like a woman fleeing a fire she could not outrun. ā€œSilvia!ā€ I called after her, irritation sharpening my voice, though confusion sat just beneath it. There was always something volatile about her reactions, but this felt different, more desperate, more afraid than anything I had seen before. I followed quickly, Doctor B and the assistant close behind me. Silvia had nearly reached the stairs when the assistant’s voice rang out, cutting through the corridor with a force that made everyone pause. ā€œYou can’t run from this, Silvia!ā€ The sound hit me like a blow. Recognition came instantly, cold and undeniable. My head snapped toward him, shock tightening every muscle in my body. That was no assistant. That was Ricardo. Silvia’s ex-husband. My former friend. The rogue I had cast out. Before he could take another step toward her, I

  • Ex Luna's Revenge Ā Ā Ā Chapter 106

    Luciano De Luca’s POV While I refused to accept Silvia Romano’s demand that Chiara be erased completely from my life, I could no longer deny a quieter, harsher truth within myself. What I was doing… clinging to what had already slipped through my fingers… was not healing me. It was slowly hollowing me out. So I did the only thing that felt remotely like control. After placing a lock on Chiara’s old bedroom door, I made a decision I was not certain I could keep. I would not go in there again. Each time I had stepped into that room, I had forced myself to relive everything I had done wrong. Every careless word. Every moment I had chosen pride, distraction, or indifference over her. I had convinced myself it was necessary, that it was punishment I deserved. Yet no matter how many times I stood in that space, surrounded by the ghost of her presence, it brought me no closer to forgiveness. Because the truth was simple and merciless. Chiara was gone. No amount of regret, no amount o

  • Ex Luna's Revenge Ā Ā Ā Chapter 105

    Luciano De Luca’s POV I watched the shift happen in real time, the way Silvia Romano’s expression changed as her eyes landed on the door behind me. What had been soft curiosity sharpened into something tense, something unsettled. ā€œThat’s Chiara’s room,ā€ she said slowly, as if saying it aloud made it more real. ā€œYes,ā€ I replied without hesitation. There was no reason to deny it, not when the truth stood right there between us. Her gaze snapped back to me. ā€œWhy were you in Chiara’s room?ā€ The question wasn’t hers to ask, but I knew better than to say that. Silvia had a way of stretching conflict until it consumed everything, and I had no patience for another exhausting scene. So I said nothing. I held her stare without answering, hoping silence would be enough, hoping she would let it go. She didn’t. If anything, my silence made it worse. Her eyes narrowed, her lips pressing into a thin line as irritation began to simmer just beneath the surface. It was still better than tears

  • Ex Luna's Revenge Ā Ā Ā Chapter 104

    Chiara’s POV At work that morning, Caterina, Piera, and I gathered in the small office, the scent of strong espresso curling through the air as we leaned against desks and chairs, trying to pretend it was just another normal day. At my insistence, Caterina had not brought the newspaper with my face splashed across it. I had thought that would spare me the embarrassment. Unfortunately, Piera had already beaten her to it. She held the paper like it was something precious, her fingers smoothing the edges as though she truly intended to frame it and hang it behind her desk like a prized possession. ā€œYou know my identity is supposed to remain a secret,ā€ I reminded her quietly once we were alone. My gaze lingered on the bold headline before I forced myself to look away. ā€œIf you hang that up, people will start asking questions.ā€ Piera lifted her chin, completely unapologetic. ā€œI’m allowed to admire the former Luna of the pack,ā€ she said, as if that alone justified everything. Caterina

  • Ex Luna's Revenge Ā Ā Ā Chapter 103

    Chiara’s POV ā€œAdoption?!ā€ The word came out sharper than I intended, laced with pure disbelief. My fingers tightened around my bag as I stared at the reporter, my thoughts scrambling to catch up with the absurdity of his question. ā€œUh… no. No, that’s not why I’m here,ā€ I said, my voice stumbling over itself despite my effort to stay composed. This was never meant to turn into anything public. I had only come to give back to the orphanage that had once taken me in, that had fed me, clothed me, and kept me alive when grief had hollowed me out after my parents died. ā€œWhat other reason could you have for being here?ā€ he asked, his tone lacking even the smallest trace of respect. ā€œI don’t know,ā€ I replied just as bluntly, my patience snapping without warning. If he could not offer basic decency, then I had no reason to offer it in return. I raised my hand and flagged down a taxi, eager to escape the conversation before it twisted further. ā€œIf you’ll excuse me.ā€ I should have known

    Chiara’s POV My feelings for Luciano De Luca, as Chiara, were a tangled mess. Outrage and heartbreak were knotted together with a love that refused to die quietly. It made me emotional, reactive, quick to anger. As Doctor B, however, I could not afford any of that. Above all else, he could neve

    Chiara’s POV Ignoring Caterina’s remarks, we returned home, where I read until sleep finally claimed me. The next morning, I woke with a new resolve. I needed to approach Cesare’s condition from a different angle. Instead of continuing the endless arguments about the life extending medicine, pe

    Chiara’s POV ā€œYou don’t need to apologize for Luciano De Luca,ā€ Cesare’s son, Matteo, said quickly. I shook my head. ā€œI do. His behavior was out of line, and instead of trying to clear up the misunderstanding, I went along with him and left you there.ā€ ā€œIt’s fine, Chiara.ā€ ā€œIt isn’t,ā€ I insist

    Chiara’s POV After the mob dispersed, I decided to call caterina and return home to rest, at least for a while. I needed space to think, somewhere safe.
