As Kate gently elbowed Ace, she inclined her head towards a specific direction. Following her lead, he turned to see what had caught her attention.

"Can we sit close enough to eavesdrop?" Kate asked, her eyes glimmering with curiosity.

"Absolutely," Ace replied, motioning for Kate to follow him through a curving path, expertly navigating through the restaurant to avoid being spotted by anyone, particularly Lucas. Finally, they arrived at a nearby table, conveniently concealed by a large pillar.

    As Julian waited for Erick to come back, his eyes kept drifting to the door. When it finally opened without a knock, he rose from his seat in one motion.‘That had to be Erick,’ he thought.Erick stepped in and handed him two brown paper files. “Here's the information you asked for."Julian acknowledged Erick by nodding his head, then took the files and sat back down. He set them in front of him, staring for a moment, praying silently that his suspicion was right.Then he opened the first file and scanned the front page details: Deceased file of Anthony and Katelyn Walker.He flipped to the next page and read through the details, his eyes moving fast until they stopped on their surviving child, whose name was none other than Kate Walker.Julian didn't react right away. He set that file aside and opened the second one: the file with Kate's information. He scanned it quickly.By the time he finished, satisfaction settled in his chest; cold and immediate.Kate was the daughter of Anthony

    “Really?” Kate asked, her voice rising slightly with surprise.She had thought it would take her time before she could finally convince Lucas to change his ways of doing things. But hearing him give in to her so easily truly surprised her.‘Matteo was right. She really had the power to steady Lucas.’“Yes,” Lucas affirmed with a nod, and a bright smile instantly bloomed across Kate's face.She suddenly closed the distance between them and wrapped her hands around his neck. “I know changing won't be easy,” she murmured softly, affection shining in her eyes. “But thank you for wanting to try for my sake. I love you, Mr. Mafia.”Lucas raised his brows. “Why do you call me that?” he asked, amused. If he remembered correctly, this was the third time she had called him by that nickname.Kate giggled as she pulled away from him. “Because that's the nickname I chose for you. You're from the mafia, aren't you?”Lucas chuckled. “Well, I'll be stepping down tonight and giving the reins to someon

    "What?" Kate whispered shakily, staring at Lucas as if she had suddenly stopped understanding the room around her."What did you say?" she asked, fear slowly creeping into her eyes.Lucas exhaled slowly, looking like he wanted to take back the last few minutes entirely. Regret flashed across his face as he looked at her.He had been the one who threatened the doctors into keeping the truth from her. He had also warned Ace and Victor not to tell her anything either.All because he couldn't bear the thought of hurting her with the news. And now, in a moment of anger, he had destroyed that himself. "I... I didn't mean that, Kitty," he said quickly, trying to salvage the situation."Forget what I said—""No." Kate shook her head immediately, cutting him off. "Don't lie to me, Lucas. I want the truth."Kate's breath heaved as she continued, "What did you mean?" she asked again, her voice now trembling. "Was I preg...?"The word refused to leave her mouth completely, as she searched Lucas's

    Bob stood to the side, watching the couple with widened eyes. They had completely ignored his existence and were in their own little world.Now that he realized Lucas had fallen hopelessly in love with Kate, Bob was ecstatic.'Doesn't that mean he could gamble at the casino now that things are settled between them?' Bob mused in his head.Kate shook her head. “Not anymore.”Lucas's face fell at her words. “You…”“I was scared when you told your men to chop off Wilson's fingers,” she admitted softly, cutting him off before he could speak further. “You were terrifying, Lucas. I got chills just looking at your back that day.”Lucas's gaze lowered slightly.“But later,” Kate continued quietly, “I realized you were avenging Wilson for all the terrible things he has done. And suddenly…I couldn’t bring myself to pity him anymore. I didn’t let my fear decide how I see you.”Something in Lucas shifted, and his hand moved to her waist gently, reverently. “Thank you,” he murmured hoarsely before

    As if Kate knew that Lucas was at the door, she turned her head and looked in his direction. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him standing there, his gaze locked on her with emotions swirling in his eyes.“Lucas," she whispered softly. Moisture gathered in her eyes as she recalled his painful past that Victor had shared with her. She pushed her own sadness down her throat and focused on the man before her.Kate slid off the bed and, barefoot, hurried towards Lucas. When she neared him, she moved closer and wrapped her hands around his waist.Lucas stilled for a moment, caught off guard by her hug. He hadn't expected such a gesture from her, and the moment she touched him, all the nervousness and tension in his body eased slowly as he allowed himself to breathe in her scent.Lucas inhaled deeply, her scent filling his lungs and grounding him in a way nothing else could. He pulled her against him and lifted her while Kate’s legs locked around his waist and her hands went around his

    A slow breath escaped Lucas through his nose as he stared at Victor’s face. “I don't know, man. I'm scared of going to her, not after the issue we had before Wilson took her away. I almost hurt her with my own hands, Victor. She also witnessed me lose control the other day.”Lucas let out a dry laugh as he continued, “Kate must be thinking the worst of me now. What if she despises me and wants nothing to do with me anymore?” he whispered, his expression tightening as if the thought alone was enough to break him.Victor looked at Lucas for the tenth time that day as if he was seeing someone else. Never had he seen Lucas so afraid of facing someone. “You must really love her."Lucas's features softened. “I didn't think I could fall for her, but I did. She drives me crazy, Victor," he admitted, his eyes straying to Kate's door once again.“Come over here,” Victor said, dragging Lucas to the nearest chair in the hallway, and they sat together. Victor looked Lucas in the eye as he spoke. “

    Night had settled over the mansion, casting a dark silence over the rooms. Wilson stepped into the living room, his eyes scanning the space for any sign of his daughter. When he didn't find her, he walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water.After pouring himself a drink, he placed the cup dow

    “What about now?” Lucas asked, and when Kate cast him a confused look, he explained, “What does he mean to you now?""Umm…” Kate paused, letting his question hang in the air for a while as she collected her thoughts. ‘What does Matteo mean to her now?’Her mind drifted back to the memories she’d sh

    Lucas wanted to ask questions about Matteo, to know how they had met and how close they had been, but he shoved the thought aside. This wasn't the right time for that. At this moment, Kate needed him, not his jealousy.He reached out, taking her hands in his. “Kitty,” he called softly, his voice st

    Kate sat on the bed, her knees pulled up to her chest, arms wrapped around them. Her head was bowed, her face half-hidden behind her knees, and a soft, broken sob slipped from her lips. Her entire body trembled, as though the memories she’d just shared with Lucas were too heavy for her to bear.Luc
