NINA's POV

“Mom… slow down.”

I heard a voice from the front seat. Older, steadier. She sounded like she knew more than me, like she had to be the one in control.

“Seatbelt, Gabriella, now!” Mom snapped, her hands gripping the wheel tight.

I fumbled with mine, tiny fingers trembling. “Mom… I’m scared,” I whispered from the back, voice shaking.

“It’s alright, baby,” Mom said softly, her hand reaching back to brush my hair. “We just need to go… as far as we can.”

My stomach knotted. Far

    I was still smiling when the call ended. Enzo, who had been sitting by the window, glanced in my direction. “Luca and Gia are getting married,” I announced. “Good for them,” he said, not sounding particularly impressed. I rolled my eyes. “You could at least sound a little happier.” “I’m happy for them.” “You don’t look it.” He gave a small shrug, then returned his attention to his phone. “So…” he began, watching me. “You’re going to Paris.” “Apparently.”

    I took a moment before answering. “After I was adopted, I lived with a woman and her daughter for about two years. Then they had to leave the country, and I was returned to the orphanage.” Daniel’s expression changed. “They couldn’t take you with them?” I shook my head slightly. “Well, it’s complicated.” He nodded, deciding not to push further. “And after that?” “After I turned eighteen, I left the orphanage and started a new life. I became Nina Nyx, a ballet dancer.” His eyes widened. “Wait, what? You became a ballet dancer?” I laughed. “Yes, Danny.” “Wow! That’s incredible. I always knew you were good at dancing, but I never imagined you’d actual

    NINA’s POVThe checkup went better than I expected. The doctor was satisfied with my recovery, although he still advised me to take things slowly and avoid putting too much strain on myself.Enzo had stepped outside to answer a call, leaving me alone in the examination room. I was scrolling through my new phone when the door opened.I looked up, expecting the doctor who had attended to me earlier, but another man walked in, holding a tablet in one hand.He glanced at me, then stopped.“Nina?”I raised my head. “Yes?”He stared at me for another second, a smile slowly spreading across his face.“You don’t remember me?”I studied his face, trying to place him. There was something familiar about his eyes and the shape of his smile, but I couldn’t immediately remember where I’d seen him.“I’m not sure,” I admitted.He chuckled.“It’s me. Daniel.”I blinked.“Daniel?”“Yes.”I stared at him before my mouth fell open.“Oh my God! Daniel? Like Danny?”He laughed. “Yes, Danny.”I couldn’t bel

    I watched Nina walk toward the building until the glass doors swallowed her from view. I stayed in the car for a few minutes, the engine still running, my hands resting loosely on the steering wheel. Bruno glanced at me through the rearview mirror. “Sir, are we heading somewhere?” I didn’t answer immediately. He noticed the hesitation on my face and waited. “No.” I paused. “Actually…” “Sir?” I looked toward the building again, then leaned back against the seat. “How do you think Nina would react if I gave her a proposal?” Bruno blinked. “Sir?” “What proposal?” I hesitated, trying to find the right way to explain it. “I mean…” I rubbed my jaw. “She does seem to still have feelings for me.” Bruno stared at me for a moment. “You mean you want to ask her to be your wife?” “Well, that.” I paused. “But maybe not that fast. A slow step.” “Oh.” Bruno turned slightly in his seat to look at me properly. “You mean girlfriend to fiancée, then wife?” “If

    “I will.” He gave me a doubtful look. “I promise, Enzo.” He reached for my chin, brushing his thumb lightly across it before letting go. “Have Bruno take you, at least.” I opened my mouth to protest, but he gave me a look that made me reconsider. “Fine. Just Bruno but no guards.” He seemed satisfied enough with that arrangement. “Good.” I picked up my handbag and phone, then leaned forward to kiss his cheek. “I won’t be long.” “Take your time, Tesoro.” I smiled at the change in his expression before heading out. Behind me, I heard him call Bruno to make sure the car was ready. The restaurant was quiet when I arrived. Daniel had chosen a table near the window, and he stood as soon as he saw me. “Nina.” I smiled as he pulled me into a hug. “It’s been a while, Danny.” “Too long.” He pulled back to look at me. “You look better.” “I feel better too.” “Good. Sit down.” I settled into the chair opposite him, placing my handbag beside me. We ordered drin

    I was still smiling when the call ended. Enzo, who had been sitting by the window, glanced in my direction. “Luca and Gia are getting married,” I announced. “Good for them,” he said, not sounding particularly impressed. I rolled my eyes. “You could at least sound a little happier.” “I’m happy for them.” “You don’t look it.” He gave a small shrug, then returned his attention to his phone. “So…” he began, watching me. “You’re going to Paris.” “Apparently.” He nodded once, his expression unchanged. I stared at him for a moment, waiting for another comment, but he seemed more interested in whatever was on his phone. “Let’s go eat downstairs,” he said, getting to his feet. I followed him out of the room. We ate in the dining room, with Enzo occasionally checking his phone while I told him about the things Gia wanted us to do before the wedding. He listened, though he didn’t say much, and I was halfway through my meal when he brought up the subject again. “How l
