Beatrice's POV

Zoe came racing towards me and I quickly composed myself. Forcing a bright smile, I glanced at my father. One look at his furrowed brows though and long strides and I could tell wasn’t very happy.

“Hello,” I greeted them both, my voice a little tight.

“I need to have a word with you,” he said, his expression taunt. “Run along, Zoe. We’ll meet you inside in a moment.”

My heart dropped.

“What about?” I asked innocently, fearing the angry look in his eyes.

“I’ll cut to the chase,” he told me. “I’m irate with you. Logan’s parents informed during our morning jog today that your marriage to Logan is fake? Is that true?”

Shit. Biting my lip, I gave a quick nod.

“So you can adopt Zoe? Marriage is not a game, Beatrice. How could you? This is incomprehensible.” He glared at me. My father was a force to be reckoned with at the best of times. But when he was angry? He was down right intimidating.

“It’s not what you think,” I stared. But again, his sharp words interrupted me.

    Third Person POVThe music was thumping from the top deck of the cruise ship, and Adonis and Jay, dressed in neon jumpsuits, were having the time of their lives.Since it was the final night of the cruise, Jay and Adonis had decided to go all in, taking full advantage of the cruise ship, booking in a day excursion, a spa treatment, a romantic dinner at the Greek restaurant, and then a night out at the dance.Which was why Adonis didn’t see the urgent messages from Luigi.The Bahamas cruise had been a long time dream of Adonis’, and after a long stint in the hospital, and a long recovery process at home, Jay had surprised Adonis with the one week cruise.Adonis had, of course, been worried about the company, since Willow was in Italy with Luigi’s family. But Willow had assured him that everything would be fine. It was only a week, and Willow felt that Adonis needed the break with Jay, so Jay and Adonis had set sail to fully enjoy the cruise.“This is the best time ever!” Adonis hollered

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 249: Pawn or King?

    Enzo’s POV“What?” Enzo asked. Bruno removed his robe showing the pudge of his belly that sat over the rim of his bathing suit, his naked chest hairy with dark hair. He climbed into the hot tub and motioned for the maid to bring him his wine.Steam circled around him as he lounged back, his eyes closed.“There’s no point in waiting,” Bruno said, his face lifted up in the sky as he settled in. “We’re drawing up the contracts. You can sign them tomorrow.”“What contracts?” Enzo asked. There was something about this that made him feel uneasy. They were deciding things and he felt like he didn’t have a say in anything.“Typical contracts,” Giulia sighed. “Fetch me some caviar, yes?” she said to the maid. “There’s too much cheese here.” The maid scurried off.“And bring me a glass,” Enzo called after her, since no one had brought him a glass yet.“Can we talk about this?” Enzo asked, furrowing his brows. From the hot tub, Bruno chuckled.“There’s nothing to talk about,” Bruno said flippantl

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 248: The Lombardi Estate

    Third Person POVClenching the steering wheel, Enzo tried to push away his disgruntled feeling. Luigi must really think he was an idiot, trying to bait him into confessing like that while he recorded the conversation.Luigi’s actions only served to solidify Enzo’s belief that Luigi and the entire family thought he was incapable of running the estate. They’d all dismissed him as a ‘play boy’ who shirked responsibility, and it had always been a sore spot for Enzo.Luigi thought Enzo had tampered with the will, and of course he had. He’d rewritten the will, bribed a public notary, and then snuck into his father’s room the night before he died. Enzo had lied to his father, who’d been groggy, claiming that he needed his father to sign off on a loan. Enzo fed him a ridiculous story about how he was going to start a new business, his own business so he could really prove himself. Enzo said he’d seen the error of his ways, and he wanted to make his father proud by becoming a success on his own

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 247: The Text Message From Willow

    Luigi’s POVEnzo knew I was recording him. I was caught, red-handed. He saw right through my ploy. He wasn’t going to say anything that could be used against him. There was nothing left for me to say. Enzo chuckled again, and then brushed past me, to the door. He left without another word, leaving me shattered.Enzo wasn’t stupid enough to come right out and confess, but he had confessed in a way. I knew then that he’d really done it, that he’d tampered with the will, his eyes and expression had said it all.But without his confession, I was no closer to having the proof I needed.With heavy steps, I walked out of the bedroom and went to my own room. Outside, I heard Enzo’s car drive off. He’d come home just to change. Where was he going? What was he doing? Was he really a lost cause? I didn’t want to believe it, but his actions gave me little room to doubt it.Sinking down onto my bed, feeling so disheartened by my brother that I could barely swallow, I checked my phone again. Still

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 246: A Conversation With Enzo

    Luigi’s POVI checked my phone every fifteen minutes or so, but Willow wasn’t getting back to me. By nightfall, I began to worry. It seemed strange that she wasn’t responding, even though the message said she’d read them.It wasn’t like Willow to not respond, and I had this nagging feeling that something was ‘off’. It was a feeling I couldn’t fully describe, like an instinct, but I did my best not to overact and give her some more time.It was shortly after dinner that I received the text from my butler that Enzo had returned home. Ensuring I had my phone in hand, I went directly to his bedroom and entered without knocking.He was undressing, and turned to me, frowning, wearing just his pants, his naked chest exposed.“It’s not polite to enter someone’s room without knocking,” he said sarcastically to me, reaching for his laundered shirt in his dresser. Turning his back to me, he slipped on his shirt.“Where have you been?” I asked him, coming into his room.He turned to me and cocked

    Luigi’s POVLucius paused, his eyes darting over the papers. Then he nodded, his lips pressed together.“I’m afraid I don’t have good news,” he said, his tone blunt. His plate of food was perched precariously on his lap as he picked up a piece of cheese and popped it into his mouth.My brows furrowed. I’d been led to believe that they’d found something, hence the important, urgent meeting. But now Lucius was telling me otherwise.“What do you mean?” I asked, careful to keep my emotions in check.“I mean,” Lucius said, “Without definite proof that the will was tampered with, there isn’t much we can do.”“There’s no way my father, days before he died, suddenly changed his mind about a decision he made when I was a child. My brother is…he’s not capable of running the estate and my father knew that. Why would he leave the entire estate to Enzo?”Lucius sucked in a long breath of air, removed the plate from his lap, and rested his elbows on his knees, leaning forward. “I have no doubt that
