BEN POV

Was this the best decision ever?

I wasn’t so sure myself, but all I wanted to do was keep my baby safe.

The villa was a beautiful place, and I understood why Ambrose always took every opportunity he could to visit Italy.

This was his home, where he thrived and also met his first love—Katherine, Nolan’s mother.

Then there was me—a random girl he met at some dingy bar, had a one-night stand with, and now I was carrying the child of a dead man.

I still couldn’t believe that my ex-fiancée offered me a place to stay. Even though I was expecting his father’s baby, he still didn’t care.

Nolan was a rare breed.

He was too kind.

I pulled the cardigan tighter around myself as I suddenly felt cold.

There was a knock on the door, and it opened before I could say a word.

“Are you ready to go? Nolan is already waiting for all of us downstairs.”

I nodded quietly, and Clay gave me a small smile.

“Ben, are you sure that this is a good idea?” he asked in a worried tone,

  • LOVE FOR SALE    False God

    BEN POV I looked at him like my world ended with him. Ambrose Esteban was the love of my life. Every conversation felt like a decade hadn’t passed. The memories were still raw, and I couldn’t help but look at him. I really thought he was gone, and seeing him again, well and alive, was a little overwhelming. Seeing him close with Alessia was warming my heart. I’d always wanted them to have a special relationship. Couldn’t he see the resemblance? Alessia Marie looked exactly like him. There was a knock on the door, and I wiped away my tears, snapping back to reality. “Mommy?” It was Alessia. I opened the door and found her dressed in her Hello Kitty pajamas. She had two mismatched ponytails. One was high, and the other was low. “I need your help.” I couldn’t suppress my laughter. I burst out laughing as Alessia walked in with a huff. I closed the door and spun around, meeting her gaze. She looked away as I took my hairbrush out of my suitcase, whi

  • LOVE FOR SALE    Memories

    AMBROSE POV The sunset seemed to have chosen the perfect time to illuminate the vineyard, and the view was spectacular. It was one of the reasons I used to miss Italy despite moving to America. After the operation, I lost myself, and everything felt foreign to me. I didn’t even know my own name. I only recognized people through the pictures shown to me. In my previous life, I was married to the love of my life, Katherine, a tourist who came to explore the vibrant culture of Italy, and she captured more than pictures. She won my heart. I haven’t seen her since I returned from the hospital. Mateo has always promised to share the truth with me when the time was right. Katherine and I had a son together. His name was Nolan, and he was married to a woman in New York, and they had a daughter together. I didn’t even know my daughter's name, and I’ve never seen a picture of her. I was carrying two buckets filled with grapes when I saw Mateo at a distance. He was talkin

  • LOVE FOR SALE    To ruin a friendship

    NOLAN POV Maybe it was the alcohol rushing to my head, but she looked more radiant than ever, and my gaze lingered a little longer. She swallowed hard and began to pick up the scattered papers, which were now all over the floor. I offered to help, and once we were done, our eyes locked again. “Sorry, sir.” Mr. Rebel cleared his throat, and I turned to look at him. “This is Rosie. She recently joined us, and she’ll be working as a new personal assistant since Kayleigh decided to have kids instead of doing her job,” he muttered coldly. I forced a smile, extending my hand to Rosie. “My name is Nolan, but you can call me Mr. Esteban.” She grasped my hand. It still fit in mine just like I remembered from years ago. She smiled and pulled away, excusing herself. Once she was gone, Mr. Rebel gave me a knowing look. “You know how I feel about work relationships… but I want you to pursue whatever is going on between you and Rosie.” I choked in disbelief. “That’s ag

  • LOVE FOR SALE    Meeting my rebound

    NOLAN POV I was back at the empty apartment I once shared with my wife and Alessia. Looking at the way things went down, she was no longer my wife. She wanted to be with another man. When will I ever learn? That man was none other than my father. The house felt cold, and each room was filled with undying silence. Once again, I had lost everything I had worked hard to achieve. I was back where I started. When I walked away, I was hoping that Ben would stop me and tell me that we could work things through. But she didn’t even try. She had made her decision. I poured my heart into work and didn’t give myself a chance to feel heartbroken or disappointed. Later that next morning, I decided to call Ben’s mother and ask how she was doing. She picked up on the first ring. “Nolan, my dear, how are you?” I forced a smile. “I’m alright, thanks. How are you?” “Okay, dear.” “Can I talk to Ben or Alessia? I can’t seem to get through to them.” She paused. “O

  • LOVE FOR SALE    The fate of Ophelia

    BEN POV I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself. I had always known the truth for a long time; I just didn’t want to admit it. It was always Ambrose. Even in death, he still owned my heart. Somehow, I had convinced myself that Nolan could fill that void, but even after all these years, the thoughts of Ambrose still consumed me. I still remembered every single thing about him. Just like that, I had lost Nolan. The man who put aside his happiness just to make me happy. I felt guilty. I felt guilty for not fighting for our love. For not fighting for our marriage. I had made up my mind. I was going to see Ambrose in Italy no matter what. I wiped my tears away. I couldn’t let Alessia see me this way. I took a deep breath and went back inside. Alessia looked up, meeting my gaze. “Where is Uncle Nolan?” she asked curiously. I forced a smile. “He had an urgent meeting he had to attend.” She frowned. “I heard everything, Mom… I heard the two o

  • LOVE FOR SALE    The summer I turned pretty

    BEN POV I deserved to know the truth. I deserved to know why Nolan chose to keep me in the dark for all these years. It’s been a week since I moved in with my mother, and Alessia Marie was coping with the change of environment. I didn’t want any of this to affect her, but I couldn’t be in the same room with Nolan. This whole time he has been putting on a fake front at my own expense. I was still pissed off. Being in the same space as my mother, I got to witness one of her late date nights. The mere thought made me cringe. “Benny honey, how long are you going to ignore your husband?” I groaned deeply. “Please don’t call him that.” She shrugged carelessly. “He’s been sending you flowers all week, and I’m running out of room in my house. I know you’re still upset with him, honey, but you need to talk to him.” I sighed softly. She had a point. I wanted to know the truth, but at what cost? The truth was going to break me. I nodded quietly, wrapping the com
