Author: Coconut Crisp
Third-Person POV

Marta froze. Her voice tightened as she hurriedly waved her hands in protest. "I only said those things because I couldn't bear to see him crying like that. I was upset and wasn't thinking straight. You know how much I care about Tullio…"

"Get out."

Niccolo didn't bother listening to her excuses.

"From now on, Marta, you're not allowed anywhere near Tullio. You're also forbidden from entering the main house, and when Serena returns, I don't want you anywhere near her either.

    Third-Person POVMarta's sobs stopped abruptly. She struggled to prop herself up in bed. "Niccolo, don't you remember? Three months ago, on the night of the celebration, you got drunk. I was the one who took you back to your room. You held me so tightly and wouldn't let go...""Serena always made sure I had something to prevent a hangover before I went drinking. I wasn't drunk at all!"Niccolo cut her off. He pulled out his phone and played the hotel's security footage. "From the moment you entered my room to the moment you left, exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds passed. Are you seriously claiming that's when you got pregnant?"Marta opened her mouth, but not a single word came out.Niccolo then produced another document and handed it to Vittoria. "This is what the private investigator just uncovered. For the past six months, Marta has been making frequent trips to a bar downtown to meet the same man. He's the illegitimate son of the Vitale family."Vittoria was so furious that he

    The two of them seemed to have made up their minds. Neither was willing to leave Montelune.Niccolo began bringing Tullio to my office every day. Like clockwork, he'd be waiting outside every morning with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.Ingrid once jokingly asked if I wanted her to call security. I shook my head. Each time, I simply pushed the flowers back into Tullio's arms, refusing to accept them.Tullio had become much better behaved, too. He no longer threw tantrums or made a scene. Instead, he quietly followed Niccolo around every day, looking like an abandoned puppy.A few times, when I was working on sketches at a cafe, he'd sit beside me reading a book, staying there for the entire afternoon. Each time, I forced myself to look away.Once the trust in a relationship was broken, there was no putting it back together, whether it was between family members or lovers.Eventually, after days of this painful stalemate, Niccolo finally reached his breaking point.One evening

You're also forbidden from entering the main house, and when Serena returns, I don't want you anywhere near her either."Marta's eyes widened. She was so shocked that she forgot to keep up her helpless act. "Niccolo, you're throwing me out?"Have you forgotten who stood up for you when you got scolded as a child? Have you forgotten who stayed by your bedside the night you were shot? What has Serena ever done for you besides cry and throw tantrums?"At that moment, the last trace of affection Niccolo held for his childhood friend vanished.He pressed the intercom. "Show her out."The butler arrived shortly a

    Serena's POVBefore leaving, I'd sent my resume to several leading fashion companies in Montelune. My portfolio quickly caught the attention of one of them, and they offered me a position, even promising to provide accommodation in the city.By my third week in Montelune, I was gradually settling into my new life. Just when I thought I'd finally managed to leave the past behind, Tullio suddenly called.I stared at his name flashing across the screen, unable to stop the dull ache in my chest. After a long hesitation, I finally answered. "What's wrong, Tullio? Is there something you need this late at night?"Tullio spoke as though he were giving me an order. "My school's open house is the day after tomorrow. I want you to come with me."For a moment, I almost agreed.He'd been distant from me for so long that even the slightest effort on his part to reach out used to be enough to melt my heart. I'd forgive him for everything and agree to whatever he wanted without a second thought.

    Serena's POVMost of them were from Niccolo."Serena, where are you?""What's the meaning of those divorce papers? I never agreed to a divorce.""Answer your phone. Tullio keeps asking for you.""And here I thought you'd finally learned to be reasonable. Serena, you've really disappointed me."I stared at the word "disappointed" and suddenly found the whole thing laughable.Apparently, even with the divorce papers right in front of him, Niccolo still thought I was just throwing another tantrum.Anger flared up inside me, and I decided to ignore his messages. I put my phone away and walked out of the airport.A cold gust of wind hit me, and I instinctively pulled my coat tighter around myself.The last time I'd visited Montelune, I'd been with Niccolo. It had been summer then. We'd taken a boat ride along the River Selune, watching the setting sun turn the city's famous tower golden as the grand cathedral rose in the distance.Now, when I returned, it was already late autumn.

    Serena's POVMy phone buzzed. A message had arrived from Vittoria. It read, "The divorce has been finalized. Tullio will remain with the family as its heir. You'll receive 30 million dollars in compensation. Leave as soon as possible."I replied with a simple, "Okay."Then I smiled and took the camera from the butler. "I never said no. Here, I'll take the picture for you. Go on, get into position."In truth, earlier that morning, I'd signed the divorce papers Vittoria had prepared long before. I'd decided to give up on the marriage that had caused me so much pain, along with the son who no longer loved me.The only reason I'd stayed until now was that I'd wanted to spend a little more time with Tullio on his birthday. After all, I probably wouldn't be there to celebrate any of his future birthdays.But now it seemed even that gesture had been unnecessary.Niccolo gave me a surprised glance before nodding.With Niccolo and Marta holding Tullio between them, my son beamed happily
