Nyla’s POV

I sat at the edge of Luca’s bed; doctors had already come in to stabilize him, and he was now sleeping peacefully. The rashes from the reaction were starting to disappear as well.

I took a deep breath. Mr. Valenti had come in to observe him earlier and also to assure me that he would be fine.

He was allergic to walnuts?

My son also had a deadly allergy to walnuts; merely perceiving them alone could harm him, much less taking them into his system.

What are the odds…?

No, it can't be, but what if….

I turned to look at his face, and a strange shiver ran down my spine. Why does he suddenly have the same facial features as my son Alex?

His eyes slowly opened, and his grey eyes met mine; a slow smirk formed at the corner of his lip, and that was when I realized I was still seated on his bed. I stood up at once, and he chuckled.

“Were you worried about me?”He whispered, and I scoffed.

“You wish.”

He didn't utter a word but just stared at me, his grey eyes piercing deeply, and I

    Selena's POV “You can't come in here however you like!” Mr. Williams Valenti reacted at the sound of my heels clicking against the marble floor.This sly old man didn't even need to turn before he could tell I was the one.I let out a humorless laugh as I sat down comfortably on the large leather couch. The penthouse screams of old money, rich and royal all in one place.“What are you scared of? Your son finding out about our little secret?” I smirked, taking out a cigar from my bag as I lit it. I took a few drags from the stick as I released the smoke from my lungs, throwing my head backwards in excitement.“If you are doing this on purpose, I would suggest you stop…” He groaned, sipping from his whiskey glass, and sat down in front of me, his face now serious. “What else do you want, Selena?”I smiled at the way he called my name… Like father, like son.“Now you speak my language…” I whispered, “You see, I can't really observe your daughter-in-law from such a far distance.” “Well,

  • Her Enemy. Her child's Father; Hate and Love   Chapter 40

    Luca's POV After Silver suddenly left yesterday, I noticed how her muscles got tense during the news.The Romano family. Five years ago, the family was slaughtered and the mansion was burnt into ash,one of the most powerful Mafia families was reduced to ashes in a single night with no survivors.I sigh.Back then, my father had informed me that a contract between the two families would hold out to restore peace, but the plan never happened.I know it was very disheartening, but why was she acting that way? Why was she overly affected by the news? I kept thinking as she left the ward yesterday, leaving only the faint scent of her perfume.Hopefully, I'll be out of bed soon enough. I picked up my phone, calling my father's number. I haven't been able to reach him since Selena showed up. What could he possibly be hiding?~~~Silver didn't come throughout the next day. I called Matteo about her whereabouts, and he told me she went to work. I was caught off guard when he informed me but d

    Nyla’s POV‘Sample A and B are a match.’ It was written boldly on the paper.‘The DNA profiles of sample A and sample B are a 99.99% match.’ I read it silently in my head.I blinked, finding it hard to believe. My knees grew weak, and I suddenly felt dizzy. I should have known.Luca, tell me what the man from that night said. That night was fuzzy and traumatic,I didn’t want to remember what happened, but everything came rushing back to me. His eyes, the way he looked at me, his touch,everything came crushing all at once.It was Luca all along,no wonder I was drawn to him despite how much I wanted to hate him. He is…my child’s father.I didn’t move,I just stood there staring at the white paper.“Mrs. Valenti, is everything okay?” Dr. Harris’s voice suddenly called out, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Oh urm… Yes, everything is okay,” I whispered back, my throat suddenly felt too dry. “Dr. Harri…” I suddenly called him, and he lifted his head from the chart he was observing. “Can you ke

    Nyla's POV“Silver….. are you sure you are okay” he asked again.I turned my head slowly,my heart was beating so fast I feared he might have heard it. I tried to stay more neutral.Today was my family's death anniversary,I couldn't even go see them. And those anchors making joke out of the whole things was really cruel.“I'm fine” I muttered quickly this time,the word felt crisp and detached in my mouth.My hands were already pushing against the armrest, lifting me up. “I need to go, it's getting late. You need to rest anyway”“Silver…”“I’ll see you tomorrow.” My tone left no room for argument. Before he could press further, I was already halfway to the door, my body moving on instinct, desperate for distance.The cool air of the hospital corridor hit me, grounding me just enough to keep walking. I didn’t head straight to my car;at least not yet. My feet carried me to the office of the doctor handling the DNA test.He looked up as I knocked lightly and stepped inside. Thankfully he

    Nyla's POV “Mrs. Valent!” Ava’s voice sliced through the air from afarHere we go again,I thought I could finally have some peace all to myself but who was I kidding….She walked towards me at a fast pace,why is she in such a hurry?Before I could process what was going on,she pulled me into a tight hug almost squeezing me in the process.“Mrs. Valent,” she said breathlessly, squeezing me tightly. “I know it must be very difficult for you, but Mr. Valenti will be fine, okay?”I blinked at her, taken aback by the sudden hug.Slowly, I pushed her back to look at her face.“Are you here to console me… or because of Marco?”Her cheeks turned pink instantly. “Of course not! Don’t be ridiculous, I…”I tilted my head, unimpressed. “Then why are you blushing so hard?”Ava’s lips parted, but no words came out at first. She fidgeted with the hem of her dress, her eyes darting away like a guilty child caught stealing sweets."I… I just meant that I care,” she stammered, her voice almost pleading

  • Her Enemy. Her child's Father; Hate and Love   Chapter 36

    Luca's POV The moment Silver stepped out of the room, I turned towards Marco with a serious face this time.“There's a problem,”I muttered, and he raised his brows in surprise. “Selena is back.” I took a frustrating deep breath.And his lips parted in shock, but no words came out.. “It’s bad; this is going to be a serious issue…. She's going to be working in the company too,”I added with a scoff. “You don't mean the Selena that disappeared 4 years ago,, right?” He asked in disbelief, like he had just heard the craziest thing.“I'm as surprised as you are right now.” I frown..“How the hell is she back? And working in the company, that's way too far. Did you……?”“Of course not.” I cut him off. "It's my father; he brought her in, and I don't know what game he is playing, but it's reckless. This is going to ruin my progress with Silver.”Marco sank into the chair beside me, rubbing his temples. “Luca, you know exactly what kind of person she is. If she’s back, it’s not just for work.
