Ace froze.

He didn't expect that the important thing Uncle Julian wanted to discuss with him was to ask about Lucas's relationship with Kate. ‘Why was he asking me about this instead of Lucas? And why does he seem so interested in their relationship?’ Ace mused, wondering if he should spill everything or leave out some details.

“You seem hesitant, Ace. Why is that?" Julian asked, narrowing his eyes.

"No, Uncle Julian. I'm just trying… to refresh my memory so I don't skip over important details,

    Ace froze.He didn't expect that the important thing Uncle Julian wanted to discuss with him was to ask about Lucas's relationship with Kate. ‘Why was he asking me about this instead of Lucas? And why does he seem so interested in their relationship?’ Ace mused, wondering if he should spill everything or leave out some details.“You seem hesitant, Ace. Why is that?" Julian asked, narrowing his eyes."No, Uncle Julian. I'm just trying… to refresh my memory so I don't skip over important details,” Ace explained, chuckling nervously.Julian nodded and crossed his legs. “I'm listening," he said, as one of Lucas's men returned to the living room with a glass of water and handed it to him. Julian took the glass, waved the man off, lifted it to his mouth, and drank. He set the glass on the table before looking at Ace.Ace took that as his cue to start talking. He cleared his throat and began, "Lucas was coerced by the Cosa Nostra to take a fiancée before he could be given access to your bro

    Bob’s eyes softened when Kate threw herself at him. It felt just like old times when he’d come back home and Kate would rush toward him and hug him.Staying away from her for so long and not being able to talk to her had made him suffer greatly. He had missed her so much and regretted ever handing her over to Lucas. Kate was not just a niece to him; she’d been the daughter he had raised and never had.Bob had gone to his usual casino to play games and drink when he heard a group of mafia members talking about the death of Wilson and how he’d kidnapped Lucas's wife, intending to use her against him, but their plans had failed miserably. He’d heard them talk about the fate that befell Wilson and his daughter.Bob felt his heart skip a beat at the news. He had walked over to the group and asked what had happened to Lucas's wife. “We don't really know all the details, but we heard she was shot and taken to the hospital. And rumors have it that Lucas had personally—”Bob rushed out of the

    “He was involved in an accident, one that claimed lives. That was the first time Lucas had blood on his hands,” Victor revealed.Kate went still, the truth knocking the breath out of her. She didn't expect such a revelation. “Accident," she repeated, and her mind couldn't help but think back to the time Uncle Bob had come home that night and told her that her parents were gone because they had been hit by someone.For some reason unknown to her, Victor’s words pressed down on her chest, as though some invisible thread tied that tragedy to her own soul. Her lips parted as she struggled for air."Kate! Kate,” Victor called, his voice filled with slight panic when he saw that she was struggling to breathe.He quickly stood up from his chair, went around her, then knelt beside her as he patted her back. "Look at me,” he commanded.Kate's eyes moved to him, and when Victor saw that he had grabbed her attention, he inhaled and exhaled, then said to her, "Breathe… follow my lead."Kate follo

    Kate's chest tightened with each word that came from Victor’s lips.“When Lucas turned ten, his mother started bringing men to the house. She’d get drunk and end up shouting at Lucas. As a child, he desperately craved his parents' love, but they showed him none. He’d watched his parents quarrel every night. Sometimes, they even threatened to kill each other or pointed weapons at one another. As time went by, Lucas became indifferent and would lock himself in his room whenever they fought—until one night that changed him completely.”Victor stopped talking and leaned back in his seat while Kate moved away from the bed and adjusted herself on its edge, her legs dangling in the air. “Why did you stop? Go on," Kate urged, eager to know the rest of the story.Seeing how eager Kate was, Victor’s eyes gleamed mischievously and he couldn't help but tease her with his next words. "That's all I know.”Kate was dumbfounded and blinked at Victor. “What? That can't be,” she exclaimed. She had been

    Kate stirred softly on the bed. She tried to move her hand, but her body felt too heavy.Her body ached, as if she’d been lying in one position for a long time. She opened her eyes slowly, and the first thing that greeted her was the white ceiling and the brightness that assaulted her eyes.Kate shut her eyes again and reopened them, adjusting to the light in the room. ‘Where am I?’Her eyes moved around and landed on the tube connected to her hand. ‘She’s in the hospital, but why?’She turned her head to the side and blinked when she saw an unfamiliar person beside her. “W-who are you?” she asked in a quiet voice.Victor’s eyes snapped to the hospital bed, and when he saw that Kate was awake, his eyes brightened. ‘Lucas would be over the moon,’ he thought, looking at her.“Water,” Kate croaked out. Though she didn’t know him, Kate hoped he’d be kind enough to hand her a cup of water. Her throat felt parched, and she was really thirsty.Victor’s eyes scanned the room, and when he didn

    Two weeks had trickled by, and Kate was still unconscious. Lucas was growing impatient with the lack of progress and wondered why she hadn't awakened yet.He anxiously paced back and forth in Kate’s hospital room. He had done this repeatedly over the past fourteen days.Lucas stopped pacing and glanced at the unmoving woman on the bed, his heart clenching when he saw that her eyes were still closed.He hadn't slept well since Kate was hospitalized. He either slept on the plastic chair beside her bed or tried to fit himself on the small couch at the far end of the room, causing his body to protest every time he woke up.He had also talked to her when no one was around while she was sleeping. He’d begged and threatened her to wake up. He would have already gone insane if not for that damn machine.Every beep was proof that she was still breathing—and so was he. Lucas raised his head to look at the door when he heard footsteps approaching.Ace entered Kate's room, with a nervous Dr. Smit

    “What did you say?” Kate asked, wanting Lucas to elaborate further. ‘What does he mean that he wants her to move into his room? Was he breaking his own rules?’“I want you to move into my room," Lucas repeated. Kate's eyes swirled with warmth, yet confusion. She couldn't read the man before her; he

    The next morning, Lucas woke up with the light of the sun caressing the curtains with its golden rays. His emerald eyes peeled open, and the first thing that greeted his sight was the beautiful face of his wife.‘His wife,’ Lucas repeated in his head, liking the sound of it. She slept peacefully, f

    “What is the plan?” Elizabeth asked her father immediately as they entered the living room. She had been hurt seeing Lucas marry someone else right in front of her! She had wanted to cause a scene earlier, accusing Kate of stealing her man and taking away the status of being Mrs. Romano from her.In

    “Where do you think you are going?” Lucas asked with knitted brows when he saw Kate heading to the hallway that led to her room instead of his. Was she going to sleep in her bedroom? Had she forgotten that they were newlyweds now, and tonight was supposed to be their wedding night? Lucas mused sile
