Genevieve's Point of View

"Just this once, babygirl. I'll spare him just this once, but I'm having his head if he misbehaves next time—and you don't get to beg for him then," Enzo said, each word clear as day.

"Thank you." I sealed it with a peck on his lips.

He smiled. "Let's go home. You have a query."

"Huh?"

A query? I began wondering what I did that earned me a query.

"Welcome home, sir, ma'am," Cora greeted as we walked through the door.

She didn't go with me to the dungeon because she was scared Enzo would have her head for letting me go there without his consent, so she had one of the guards take me.

Right now, she's too scared to raise her head and look Enzo in the eyes. But thankfully, Enzo replied to her normally—a curt nod.

"Hey," I waved at her, and she smiled in response.

"I'm famished," Enzo groaned as he slumped on a sofa, dragging me along and making me sit on his lap. Then he rested his head on my chest.

"Of course you'd be hungry. You just exhausted yo

    Genevieve's Point of ViewEnzo cried for a while. I let him cry to his heart’s content, and when he’s had enough, we sat in a moment of silence."Are you okay?" I asked, breaking the silence."Yeah.""You can stop. You don't have to tell me everything," I told him, but he shook his head in disagreement."I have decided to tell you everything about it, and I must tell you."He cleared his throat, then continued his story."It was later found out that a Mafia member was behind the accident. It took a long time, but my father eventually hunted him down and killed him," he said.I tensed instantly. My biological father was also a Mafia member. Could it be the one? Could this be the reason behind the decade-long enmity between our families? No, the time frame isn't right. I couldn't have been a baby when Enzo's sister was a teenager, right?"Although my father got revenge for my sister, I couldn't stop blaming myself. We were attacked because they knew I wasn't strong enough to fight back.

    Genevieve's Point of ViewI don't know how long I slept, but it was already dark outside when I woke up. I sat on the bed and stared out the window, admiring the night view.Soon, the door pushed open and Kayla came in."Thank goodness you're awake!" she sighed in relief upon seeing me, which made me frown slightly."What's going on?" I asked.She dabbed some sweat beads from her forehead with the back of her palm. "Your flash husband is what's going on. He's been waiting in the living room for almost two hours. He said he won't leave until he speaks with you."She suddenly paused, then shuddered as if she recalled something scary."He's so scary!" she hissed.I jumped out of bed and ran straight to the living room. Enzo sat on a sofa with a serious expression, his arms crossed over his chest. But he smiled immediately when he saw me. He quickly got up and approached me."Babygirl, you're awake," he said.I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest as I turned away from him. "W

    Genevieve's Point of ViewMy mind was in a total mess as I walked down my mom's street. I decided not to board a cab because my head was heavy and I needed some fresh air.How is Mr. Fabio connected to my family? What is our decade-long enmity all about?While these questions were running rampant in my mind, my phone's ringtone suddenly broke through.Retrieving the phone from my purse, I saw Enzo's name flashing on the screen. I wasn't in the mood to talk to him, so I ignored it.After walking for a while, I arrived at a kids' park. I sat on a bench and held my head in my hands as my thoughts continued.My phone buzzed. I reached for it and realized it was a text from Enzo. It read:"Babygirl, are you done with your meeting? Should I come pick you up?"I wanted to reply to him, but when I remembered that his father might be behind my father's death, I quickly blocked his number."I can't be friendly and loving to my father's murderer," I said to myself.I dialed Kayla's number, and s

    Genevieve's Point of View> A Week Later —a week later, waiting outside the manager's office to sign our contracts."I can't believe your mom actually begged you to let Fred go because of that ungrateful son of his—and you did," Kayla said, her eyes burning with anger and hatred like mine did last week."You don't understand. Kelvin is just a kid. He didn't understand what happened during that accident, so it's natural for him to assume that I killed his mother. He—""Continue defending him," she interrupted me. "You're just too kind for your own good, and that's why they took advantage of you for so long."I sighed. "I did it for Susan. She gave up her only chance of survival for me, and I have repaid that debt by saving her husband's life.""True," Kayla nodded in agreement.Finally, it's done. Life for life. I have fully repaid my debt of life."But come to think
