Author's Note

Hello, my lovely readers!

Okay… we’re back.

If you’ve been wondering when we were going to return to Nina and Enzo, I KNOW.

You’ve just spent quite a bit of time with Giulia, Dimitri, Nico and all the chaos happening around them, and I know some of you have probably been sitting there between comments like, “T. Hush… where is Nina?!”

Trust me, I heard you.

But now it’s time.

We’re going back to Nina and Enzo.

And this time, we’re not leaving them behind again.

Before we jump back in, though, I want you to understand why I took the story through Giulia’s side of the world.

What happened in Rome wasn’t just a random detour.

The Russian situation, Ricci, Dimitri’s political plans, Gabby, Volkov, Nico, and everything that happened behind the scenes are all pieces of a much bigger picture.

Some of those pieces may not seem connected to Nina yet.

But they will.

And that’s what I want you to watch for from this point forward.

Because while everyone in Rome was dealing with their own problems, Nina was lying unconscious in Milan.

And now…

She’s awake.

After everything Nina has been through, you can probably imagine what that means for Enzo.

The man practically drove across half of Italy the moment he heard she had opened her eyes.

But here’s the thing…

Nina waking up doesn’t mean everything is suddenly okay.

There are questions.

There are things she remembers.

And things that happened while she was unconscious that are going to matter more than you think.

And then there’s Enzo.

Because for months, he has been waiting for the woman he loves to wake up.

Now she finally has.

But what happens when the woman you’ve been waiting for opens her eyes and you realize you don’t know what she’s going to say?

That’s where we’re going next.

So if you’ve been patiently waiting for Nina and Enzo to come back to the center of the story…

Stay with me.

Because the pieces are starting to come together.

Some things you’ve already read will suddenly make sense.

Some characters you thought were simply part of another storyline will become much more important.

And some secrets that have been sitting quietly in the background are finally going to start causing problems.

We’re entering a different part of Nina and Enzo’s story now.

The questions are bigger and the stakes are higher.

So whatever Nina remembers when she finally starts talking could change everything.

So please don’t skip what comes next.

You might think you know where this story is going.

You probably don’t.

Thank you for staying with me through all the twists, the arguments, the heartbreak, the chaos, and yes… all the moments where you probably wanted to shake these characters yourselves.

Thank you for commenting, voting, leaving reviews, screaming at me in the comments, and telling me exactly who you think deserves what. 😂

I read your reactions, and they genuinely make writing this story so much more fun.

Now…

Enough about Rome.

Let’s go back to Milan.

Nina is awake.

And Enzo is finally on his way to her.

Let’s see what happens when they finally come face to face.

With love,

T. Hush

P.S. — And please… don’t forget everything that happened in Rome. You might need those details sooner than you think.
