For a few seconds, I couldn't speak I just glanced at Lia in the rearview mirror. Her small face was serious, her eyes waiting for an answer I wasn't prepared to give.

"Sweetheart," I said, my voice coming out thinner than I intended. "We'll talk about it later, okay?"

Lia frowned but nodded. In the seat beside her, Luca was quiet. He stared out the window, his jaw set in a way that reminded me too much of his father.

The rest of the drive home passed in silence.

  • FORCED TO MARRY MY SISTER'S BILLIONAIRE FIANCE    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT

    I stood there, holding my phone tightly. What if the truth was worse than I thought? My thumb still hovered over the call button, shaking slightly.Then I heard three soft knocks on my front door.My heart stopped.I turned towards the door, my body frozen in place. The knocks came again, gentle but insistent. I looked down at my phone, then back at the door.It was late...too late for visitors.My mind raced with possibilities…was it the person sending the photographs or someone watching my apartment and wanting to hurt me?I crept towards the door, my bare feet silent against the wooden floor. My hand trembled as I reached for the peephole.I pressed my eye against it and let out a breath I didn't realise I had been holding.Damiano…He stood in the hallway with his hands in his pockets. His dark hair was a little messy. He still wore the charcoal suit from the photo, but his tie was loose, and he looked tired.I unlocked the door and pulled it open."Gabrielle." His voice was soft;

    I locked my phone and set it down on the coffee table, my heart pounding in my chest.For a few seconds, I just sat there, then I pulled my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them, staring at the dark screen of my phone, hoping it would somehow give me an answer, but it didn't.I looked at my phone again, even though I tried not to. I opened the message and zoomed in on the picture until Damiano's face was all I could see.I zoomed out, then in again, studying every detail like I was investigating a crime scene.Maybe I had missed something.Maybe she was wearing a wedding ring, or there was something on the table that could tell me who she was, but there was nothing.Just Damiano sitting across from a beautiful woman."There has to be an explanation," I whispered to myself. "There's always an explanation."But my voice sounded thin and unconvincing, even to me.I set the phone down and stood up, pacing across the living room."No," I whispered.I shook my head."Stop it,

    The next morning, I woke up with a strange smile on my face.I hadn't slept well; my mind had gone over last night's dinner more times than I wanted to admit.I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling, then I laughed softly at myself."Get a grip, Gabrielle."I climbed out of bed and walked into the kitchen.The apartment was quiet, but that never lasted long when the twins were awake.Lia appeared first, her hair sticking out in every direction."Mommy?"I turned around."Good morning."She walked straight into my arms."Are we having pancakes?"I smiled. "Is that the first thing you say to me?"She nodded seriously."Yes."I laughed and kissed her forehead.A few minutes later, Luca came in, still half asleep. He climbed onto one of the chairs and rested his head on the table."I'm hungry.""Of course you are."I opened the cupboard. "What do you want?""Pancakes."I looked at Lia, and she grinned."See?""Two against one," I said.Soon, the kitchen was filled with the smell o

    For a few seconds, neither of us spoke; his hand was warm around mine.I could feel the slow beat of his pulse beneath my fingers, and something about it made the moment feel strangely real.I gave him a small smile. "Thank you for dinner."His lips curved slightly. "Thank you for staying."I looked away before he could see how much those words affected me.We walked out of the restaurant together, the night air was cool against my face, and I breathed it in slowly. The street was still busy, with cars passing and people walking along the pavement.I pulled my coat tighter around myself, and Damiano noticed."Cold?" he asked."A little."He started to remove his jacket, but I stopped him with a hand on his arm."Don't," I said. "I'm fine."He paused, then nodded. We walked side by side down the empty sidewalk, our footsteps echoing in the silence. Damiano opened the passenger door of his car for me.I stopped before getting inside."What?" he asked."Nothing." I smiled...As he walke

    The candlelight flickered between us, casting shadows across his face. His hand remained there, suspended in the space between us, waiting patiently.My throat tightened… Five years of silence, anger, and convincing myself that I did not need him and building walls so high that I forgot what it felt like to let someone in.I thought about pulling away or making an excuse, about saying I needed air or that it was getting late. The old Gabrielle would have run, but I was tired of running.Slowly, I moved my hand forward. My fingers brushed against his, and the warmth of his skin sent a shiver up my arm. He did not grab me or pull me closer; he simply opened his hand.I placed my palm against his, and his fingers closed around mine, gentle but firm. Like he was holding something fragile and precious."Thank you," he whispered.I looked at our hands joined on the white tablecloth. His thumb moved in slow circles against my skin, and I felt something loosen in my chest. "I used to dream a

    My mother stood there with tears in her eyes, reaching for me while my father sat still on the couch, gripping his knees.I stood in the cold room, feeling like I was seventeen again, small and invisible, but I was not seventeen anymore."I need time," I finally said. "I cannot give you an answer right now."My mother's hand dropped. She nodded, but I saw the hurt flash across her face."That is fair," my father said quietly. "We have waited this long."I grabbed my purse and walked toward the door. My legs felt heavy, like I was wading through water.When I stepped outside, the cool air hit my face. I took a deep breath, walked to my car, and sat inside without starting the engine.I sat there for a long moment, staring at the steering wheel. I had said what I needed to say…so why did I feel like crying?My phone buzzed. A message from Damiano."Are you okay?"I stared at the message."I am alive," I typed back."That is not what I asked."I almost smiled."I will be okay… Just tired
