Luca's POV

When I finally arrived home, it was already 1AM, and the house had grown so quiet that only the faint hum of the refrigerators could be heard.

I strode into the kitchen to get a glass of water first before heading upstairs when my phone made a buzzing sound. I took it out lazily, but the words on the message made me freeze in my tracks.

Hey muchi,

I miss you so much.

Hope you miss me too.

Your one and forever love, Selene.

Selene?

I froze.

My fingers around the phone became tight. Of all the names in the world, hers was the last I expected to see, not in this lifetime. How the hell did she get my number? An uneasy knot formed in my gut.

I could already perceive trouble just from her text.

Trouble...that was what Selene always carried with her like perfume.

She wasn’t just any random girl. She was my past, my first girlfriend, and my first in everything.

We had met in my senior year of college, burned bright for three reckless years, and then, just like that, she vanished.

  • Her Enemy. Her child's Father; Hate and Love   Chapter 34

    Luca's POV Silver had been acting off since we ran into each other at the hotel the other day. I wanted to get my mind off her, off everything that had been going on these few days…. Selena randomly texted me, and Silver showed up at the hotel.But even as Silver and I sat right next to each other, laughing and throwing words at each other, it felt peaceful—well, not until Selena’s voice interrupted.My stomach dropped at the sound of her voice.“Selena?”Four years. Four damn years of silence, no explanations or goodbyes; she just vanished, and now she was standing right in front of me like she had never been gone.Silver’s eyes narrowed; her eyes darted between me and Selena in confusion. She didn’t know her… and I wasn’t sure I wanted her to.“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked flatly.Selena stepped fully into the room, her mouth curved into that familiar smirk she always wears. She looked almost the same but much sharper than she was.“Oh, Luca,” she cooed smoothly, comp

  • Her Enemy. Her child's Father; Hate and Love   Chapter 33

    Nyla's POV My heart skipped. “Is he okay? Is everything okay? Did he…?” The man who I presumed to be the doctor cut me off.“He’ll be fine… but we need to admit him just to observe his recovery process.” I exhaled “thank you,” and then the call ended. I hurriedly changed into a more proper dress and took a jacket, and then I placed the samples properly in my handbag, making sure it was safe. This was an opportunity I won't waste.“Mrs. Valenti, the car is ready,” Matteo’s voice called softly from outside my room; he must've gotten the information.I tried steadying my breath. Luca was in danger, and instead of being happy since he was the enemy, I felt like a part of me was going to be cut into pieces.Matteo must've noticed my unsettled expression, his brow tightening with concern, but he said nothing as he opened the door for me.The ride to the hospital felt like forever. My fingers wouldn’t stay still, twisting together in my lap until it turned red.When we arrived, I hurried

  • Her Enemy. Her child's Father; Hate and Love   Chapter 32

    Nyla's POV Morning came by too soon. By the time I tried forcing myself out of bed, my body was still yearning for more sleep. I couldn't sleep last night. I spent the whole night thinking of worst-case scenarios of Luca being my child’s father.By the time I finally found my way downstairs, he was already at the dining table, sharply dressed, the feeling of his eyes on me like they always did.I didn’t even glance back. My heels clicked against the marble floor as I passed him.“Silver…” His voice came low.I help myself with a cup of coffee, ignoring him as if he wasn't there to begin with, then set the cup down without taking a sip. “I’ll be in the office early today,” I said flatly and walked out of the dining room.At work, I buried myself in files, numbers, and presentations,anything that could keep me away from the unsettling thoughts I was having. Ava, on the other hand, wasn’t so easily fooled; by midday, she slid into my office, her notebook in hand, her brows knitting as

  • Her Enemy. Her child's Father; Hate and Love   Chapter 31

    Nyla's POV I dropped Ava off at her house, and she stayed by the car door a second longer than usual with her eyes narrowing on me.“Get some rest, Mrs. Valenti,” she said softly.I forced a small smile and gave her a nod as I watched her disappear from my sight. The silence that followed settled heavy in the car.The drive back to the estate felt endless. Matteo didn’t try striking up a conversation, but I caught his worried glances in the rearview mirror, but I pretended not to notice; my gaze stayed glued to the passing shadows of the city outside. My hands were locked tightly in my lap, the memory of Luca’s piercing stare replaying in my mind over and over again. When the gates of the estate finally swung open, I let out a breath I didn’t know I had been holding. But then my heart skipped. Luca’s car was already parked neatly in the driveway.Matteo slowed to a stop, and my throat tightened as I stepped out of the car. The evening air was cool, but my skin prickled with heat.

  • Her Enemy. Her child's Father; Hate and Love   Chapter 30

    Nyla's POV I had suggested to Ava that we should see the hotel in person and had intentionally picked the one my investigator had sent, although she didn’t suspect the real reason. The project was just a convenient excuse. If there was ever a chance of crossing paths with that man from four years ago, then it would be today.When we arrived, I stepped in first, leaving Ava, who was caught up in a phone call, outside. And it was just what I wanted.The hotel felt familiar; the lobby smelled faintly of polished marble, lavender, and champagne; the receptionist was busy behind the desk, and a man was standing in front of her. I moved further in, pretending to admire the place, when a familiar voice caught my ear.“You know why I'm here.”“I checked both the old and new records… No one has come searching the way you’ve been. “I’m sorry,” the receptionist answered after a few minutes of going through her file.What did she just say?My chest tightened. I didn’t need to see the speaker to
