(Celeste Moretti’s POV)

I got back to my apartment a little after seven, dropped my bag near the door, and stood there quietly for a full minute without moving.

Then I suddenly remembered that I had never told Vincenzo I was taking the day off.

I picked up my phone and checked our last conversation.

His final message said he had a business dinner.

Mine said I would see him later in the week.

I had never followed up after that.

He probably assumed I was not coming tonight.

I thought about it for

  • From Ex-wife to his Uncle's Obsession    Chapter 61

    (Author’s POV) Vincenzo was in his office when Celeste Moretti’s leave request came through. He read it, set it aside, and said nothing. A few minutes later, his phone rang. Matteo, calling from Seoul. “Sir, we’ve finalized things with the donor on the Korean Bone Marrow Registry side. We’re at the gate now, about to board. Do you want to tell Ms. Celeste yourself, or should we contact the hospital directly?” Vincenzo checked the time. “When you land, go straight to the hospital,” he said. “Tell the attending physician that a match was identified through the latest update to the donor registry database. Let him be the one to tell her.” “Understood.” Matteo hung up and turned to the donor standing behind him, a taciturn gentleman. “We’re ready to board now. Thank you for your patience.” The donor nodded and followed him toward the gate. Matteo had been with Vincenzo for five years. He had watched him dismantle companies, outmaneuver rivals, and make decisions that left entire

    (Author’s POV) Celeste stood slowly. She picked up her bag and smoothed the front of her jacket. “I’ll be in touch,” she said evenly. At the doorway, she paused and glanced back over her shoulder. “One thing, though.” Her voice remained calm and controlled. “Don’t mistake my silence for desperation. That’s a very dangerous habit to bring into a negotiation.” She left before Tiziana could answer. Over the following days, Celeste buried herself completely in work. She avoided the hospital. She answered emails, reviewed data, ran assays, and forced herself to keep moving forward without stopping long enough to think. Meanwhile, Adelina arrived at Lavinia’s apartment carrying a folder. She placed it on the table without ceremony. “Sign this,” she said sharply. “It’s a waiver. Celeste relinquishes all claims to the marital assets. You’ll sign on her behalf.” Lavinia looked down at the documents uncertainly. “And Tiziana…” “She’ll donate.” Adelina’s voice was clipped and imp

    (Celeste Moretti’s POV) Leo reached for my hand slowly. “Celeste.” His voice sounded weak, rough around the edges from exhaustion, but his grip tightened around my fingers with quiet determination. “Thirty percent is still thirty percent. I want to try.” I looked at him carefully. At the dark shadows beneath his eyes. At the IV line taped against his arm. At the way he carried himself so cautiously now, like even breathing too hard might break something inside him. “No,” I said flatly. “Celeste…” “I said no, Luca.” My voice stayed calm, but every word felt heavy in my chest. “Thirty percent means we’re gambling your life on odds that are already stacked against us. I’m not risking you on that.” He went quiet after that. But he still didn’t let go of my hand. Later, after the doctor left the room and Tiziana finished giving blood for the compatibility testing, Luca waited until Lavinia stepped outside to pace the hallway before speaking again. “You need to stop this,” he

  • From Ex-wife to his Uncle's Obsession    Chapter 57

    (Celeste Moretti’s POV) I arrived at the hospital early. Luca was already awake when I stepped into the room, sitting upright against the pillows with a paperback resting on his knee that he clearly hadn’t been reading. He looked slightly better than yesterday. Barely. The color still hadn’t fully returned to his face, but his eyes looked clearer, more alert. Lavinia Conti was already there, occupying the chair beside his bed and talking endlessly. Apparently, she had been talking long before I arrived because the second Luca saw me, he gave me a look. The exact look we had perfected over years of shared suffering. The silent kind that said, save me before I lose my mind. I almost smiled. Setting my bag down quietly, I pulled the other chair closer to the bed. “You look exhausted,” Lavinia said immediately, scrutinizing me with concern. “Are you even eating properly? You’re too thin, Celeste. You’ve always been too thin.” “I’m fine,” I answered calmly. “You should be home res

  • From Ex-wife to his Uncle's Obsession    Chapter 56

    (Author’s POV) Tiziana knew her last conversation with Stefano had ended badly. She sat in front of her vanity mirror, slowly brushing through her hair with measured, mechanical strokes while replaying every second of it inside her head. She had pushed too hard. Said too much. Now she could finally admit that to herself. But regret was not the strongest emotion sitting inside her chest. Calculation was. She had invested years into Stefano Conti. Not simply time, but strategy. Every carefully timed glance. Every moment of practiced vulnerability. Every conversation subtly crafted to convince him that she understood him in ways Celeste never could. And she was not about to walk away from all of that now. Not after Celeste had finally done the sensible thing and filed for divorce. Actually, the divorce itself was useful. Tiziana slowly lowered the brush onto the vanity table and studied her own reflection carefully. Stefano was under pressure now. Financial pressure. Emot
