Chapter One Hundred And FiveEnzoThe sun filtered in slightly through the hospital blinds, casting slanting beams across the white walls. It was morning again, the morning we had waited for. Rain was going home. I was going home with my wife, and my baby.My wife? I didn’t know if I should call her that, yet. Or wait until after I and proposed to her, until after she had taken my hands and decided to go on this journey with me. I didn’t know if I should wait until after we both step on the alter again to recite those vows that’ll keep us together for the rest of our lives.The doctor stepped in later to finalize the discharge, and all I could think about was the other thing I had planned. The moment that had been replaying in my head over and over. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Rain’s birthday was in a day now. I wanted to give her more than a celebration. I wanted to give her the beginning of everything she ever dreamed of.No more pretending. No more contracts. No more survi
Chapter One Hundred And FourEnzoMy brother.Eduardo.He was the only one who knew something about what happened. Rain’s question echoed in my ears again, my mind jolting back to everything I had been trying to suppress. The chaos, the attack, the betrayal from the same people who created the syndicate rule. I had forgotten that thread entirely in the fog of everything else, I had been too concerned about her condition, the baby we lost, the one we were still holding onto, and the gut-wrenching decision she had to make between her family and me.But now, it came flooding back.Eduardo had followed the suspicious guy with other syndicate members and I hadn’t heard from him since then. I still remembered seeing him go with the other members but I hadn’t seen any of them since them . If there was any lead, any detail about who stabbed Rain… it would be with him. He would have all the information we needed, but he hadn’t come since. I couldn’t help but wonder if he was safe too. If e
Chapter One Hundred And Three Enzo My heart skipped a thousand beats as her words echoed in my head, followed by a loud sigh that somehow brought calmness back into my chest. It was like I hadn’t expected her to say that, yet she did. After everything she had endured just to find her parents… after all the pain, all the yearning, and the excitement to finally know who they were… I didn’t expect that she would still choose me over them. I looked into her eyes, and even though I could see doubt swimming in their depths, an uncertainty over whether she had made the right choice or not. I knew exactly what I wanted. I wanted her. And now that she had chosen me, I would spend every day making sure that this decision would be the best one she had ever made. I would make sure she never regretted a single moment with me. I moved closer, gently taking her hands in mine once again. I had let go of her earlier, just before she made her choice, not because I truly wanted to let her go, but be
Chapter One Hundred And TwoRainI stared at Enzo like he’d just punched a hole through my chest. I couldn’t understand what was happening. I didn’t get it. I had just woken up after hours of surgery, after pain and silence, and now I was being made to choose.They wanted me to choose between the man I loved, the man who saw me when no one else did, the man who gave me this life I was living and a woman who claimed to be my mother. A woman who said I was taken from her, but for all I knew, she was the one who left me on the streets to die. And now she was standing here, talking about abduction, about family. And I was supposed to decide between them?“What will it be, Rain?”Enzo’s voice echoed in my head again, over and over, like a cruel bell I couldn’t unring.I blinked. Once. Twice. Trying to make sense of this nightmare. But it didn’t work. My thoughts were still clouded, heavy, slow. I couldn’t piece anything together. I didn’t know what exactly was going on.There was the pain,
Chapter One Hundred And OneRainA loud noise echoed in my head. It was deep and hollow, like someone banging a metal drum inside my skull. Then came the voices, muffled and distant at first, bleeding slowly into my consciousness. It felt like I was underwater, floating somewhere between sleep and awareness. Everything was foggy. Everything hurt. My head hurt. My eyelids fluttered, heavy as stone. I tried to lift them, but even that felt like too much. Even that hurt.There was a sharp pressure in my chest, a dull ache radiating from my side, and something cold pricking at the back of my hand. I tried to move, but the weight of my body pinned me down. Panic flickered somewhere in the haze. Where was I? I even tried to sit up, but a sharp pain pulsed through my stomach and I laid back.Then came a voice. That low and familiar voiced, breaking through the storm and sending a sudden warmth through my aching body. “Rain… baby, I’m here. I’m right here.”Enzo. It was my Enzo.My lips par
Chapter HundredEnzoIt had been hours. Long, dragging hours of torturous silence, waiting for a result that could either fortify or completely shatter the relationship I’d been building with Rain. Time moved like it was crawling through wet cement. Every second was heavy. Suffocating. This wasn’t just another test result. No, this was the kind of truth that could split a soul in half. This result had the power to either keep everything intact or burn it all to ashes.If Rain turned out to be the daughter of this family… I didn’t know how to continue. I didn’t think I could. I didn’t think I could stay married to the woman who bore the blood of the very people who once stood beside the man that murdered my father. That wasn’t something I could make peace with. That would mean she was one of them, even if unknowingly. That she belonged to the same bloodline that tore mine apart. How was I supposed to live with that? How could I love someone who might unknowingly carry the same legacy t
