[ARIETTA’S POV]

I can't count how many times I've cleared my throat since I entered this room. I'm also not comfortable sitting here because across from me is Pierce fucking Grimaldi! I’ve been praying since I got back here that our paths wouldn't cross. When will fate ever be kind to me? It seems like whatever I wish for, it gives me the complete opposite.

We're not alone in this room, though. He’s with their lawyer and secretary, while I, on the other hand, have my secretary and lawyer with me as well.

Our lawyers are speaking, arguing, and bickering with each other. It's clear that Pierce doesn’t like the ongoing disagreement because of the frown on his face, while I... I’m so distracted! Even though I keep telling myself not to stare at Pierce, I still find myself looking at him.

I can see the blatant changes in him. His hair is tousled—and he’s dangerously hot! If women were already swooning over him back then, I feel like I’m doing the same now. It seems like Pierce has matured,

  • Grimaldi's Blood and Vows   EPILOGUE

    [PERCIVAL’S POV]Arietta held my hand tightly. We’ve been here in the delivery room for a while, and she’s been cursing at me non-stop because of her labor. If words could kill, I’d probably be at my own wake by now.This is my first time seeing her give birth—I didn’t get to witness the birth of our firstborn.I kissed the hand she was holding onto me with while the doctor and nurses were taking care of her. I reassured her that everything would be okay.The doctor kept giving instructions to Arietta, telling her the status of the baby while I was nervously thinking about how long it usually takes for women to give birth.I did my research, of course, and it said that delivery times can vary. Some women take a long time, while others give birth quickly.Arietta and I are married. We decided to get married before her belly got too big. She didn’t want to wear a wedding gown that would show her pregnancy, and I didn’t want to wait too long before we were officially married. So, even th

  • Grimaldi's Blood and Vows   Chapter 152

    [ARIETTA’S POV]Tears started to flow even more as he said those words. I had only dreamed of hearing those words from him. To be accepted by Pierce’s father. I thought it would always remain a dream, something that would never come true, but now... I was hearing it from him.I couldn’t speak anymore. Even thanking him felt impossible as the tears just kept flowing.Uncle Marcello stood up and hugged me. It felt like I was receiving the embrace of another father."Thank you, Uncle. Thank you..."If I were to list the things that made me happy in this life, this moment would be among them. My heart feels so light now, as one of the heaviest feelings has vanished.Pierce entered the room. He was shocked to see me crying and immediately came over to us."What's wrong?" Pierce asked, slightly worried.I smiled at him and shook my head. I didn’t need to say anything for him to understand what I wanted to convey.Uncle Marcello patted his son’s back and turned away from us. He slipped a han

  • Grimaldi's Blood and Vows   Chapter 151

    [ARIETTA’S POV]I remained staring at Mr. Marcello Grimaldi. Nervous and lost in my own feelings, I couldn’t read what he was thinking, and his eyes showed no expression."How are you feeling?" he asked me.I was taken aback because I didn’t expect that to be the first thing he would ask. I lowered my head and shyly replied."I-I’m okay. I remembered what you did earlier, so I wanted to thank you. Thank you for stopping Mr. Ciro Verdi. I know you did that for me…""I’m sorry."I froze at his words when he suddenly said those two words. I looked up at him, and I don’t think you could paint the look on my face right now because of how shocked I was. Did I really hear that correctly? Did he really apologize to me?He smiled. It was the kind of smile that wasn’t truly happy. It was full of regret and shame. I also noticed the sadness in that smile."I don’t know where to begin," he said, taking a deep breath. "I was blinded by my hatred and anger. I didn’t listen to what others, Pierce an

  • Grimaldi's Blood and Vows   Chapter 150

    [ARIETTA’S POV]I felt weak and dizzy when I saw the gun pointed at me. My anxiety worsened when I heard who the old man in front of me was."I didn’t... kill her," I managed to speak, though I was slightly weak. "I would never do that to Aunt Giovanna.""You may not have done it yourself, but I know you’re involved!" His voice was filled with fury. "I don’t understand why Marcello let you into his son’s life! You will pay for what happened to my daughter! You don’t deserve to live while my daughter is gone from this world!"I flinched, almost certain he was about to pull the trigger. His grip on the gun was so tight that I felt at any moment, he could fire it at me. I kept denying it, but he wouldn't listen."My daughter was so kind, and you made her your target? You West are animals!"I didn’t know how to explain that I was just caught up in the situation. But I understood his pain; he lost his child. Perhaps, to him, anyone could bear the brunt of his grief and anger over what happ

  • Grimaldi's Blood and Vows   Chapter 149

    [ARIETTA’S POV]Earlier, while we were in the air, and Pierce told me to look out the window at the ground, I was greeted by an arrangement of flowers forming the words: WILL YOU MARRY ME?And now, here we were, in the place where those flowers were, and Pierce was kneeling before me.The feeling is surreal, like I’m dreaming."I hope this proposal is enough for you," he laughed, which made me laugh too. "I promised you years ago that I would marry you at the right time... and I believe this is it, Arietta."Pierce took a deep breath. He was confident, but I could see a hint of nervousness in his eyes.I used to tell other women that they deserved better, that I wasn’t the one for them. I’ve never been fond of entering relationships because I felt like I wasn’t suited for them.I was shocked by his sudden confession. "But now, I want to be a better person for you, Arietta. I won’t tell you that you deserve someone better than me—I'm going to be the standard, the better person for you.

  • Grimaldi's Blood and Vows   Chapter 148

    [ARIETTA’S POV]I was planning to tell Pierce about my pregnancy. I’ve already seen a doctor, so it’s no surprise anymore because, well, we’ve been quite active in that area. I was just preparing myself on how to tell Pierce.I woke up in the middle of my sleep when I felt something move on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and knew that the sun hadn’t risen yet."Why?" I mumbled, still sleepy. Why was Pierce waking me up so early? It’s still too early. Auriette isn’t even awake yet.I felt him move closer to my ear. "Wake up, love. We’re going somewhere today.""Pierce, the sun hasn’t risen yet.""That’s the point. Come on. I know you’ll need time to get dressed, so get up now. You don’t want to miss this."So, I had no choice. I brushed my teeth, quickly freshened up, and got dressed. Pierce and I left the penthouse. Auriette was still asleep, so I figured we wouldn’t be bringing him."Where are we going?" I yawned as we headed toward the basement parking. Beside Pierce’s car, I saw Ger
