Chapter Four

Two weeks after the insemination, Katherine sat beside Massimo's motionless form on the massive bed. She'd been told by the doctors, it might not result to pregnancy but she should still hope. It was said, Massimo had never been able to father a child.

Her fingers moved with gentle precision, dipping a soft cloth into warm, scented water, wringing it out, and carefully wiping his pale skin. It was an intimate ritual she’d never imagined becoming so familiar.

“It’s been so long already… Are you ever going to wake up?” she whispered.

A faint twitch.

Her heart skipped a beat. His fingers moved, a slight, almost ghostly stir. Katherine leaned closer, breath caught in her chest, eyes locked on his hand.

Was it real? But just as suddenly, the motion stilled.

“Are you trying to pass a message, Massimo?"

Her phone shattered the fragile moment. The screen flashed with an unknown number.

“Hello?” she answered.

“Is this Mrs. Katherine?” a stranger’s voice asked, calm but urgent

    “Oh, fuck! What the hell’s going on?!” Massimo screamed for the umpteenth time, clutching his stomach as he bolted toward the office bathroom, nearly tripping over the carpet. His usual composure had vanished, replaced by the raw panic of a stomach twisted into knots.Katherine’s lips pressed together, but the moment he disappeared behind the door, she couldn’t hold it in. She threw her head back and burst into loud laughter, slamming her hands onto the paperwork in front of her.Oh, goodness… she was enjoying this far too much.Earlier, she’d slipped a tiny amount of Bisacodyl, a mild laxative into his coffee, just enough to make him squirm and visit the toilet throughout the day, but not cause real harm. Since then, Massimo had treated the office bathroom like his second office, cursing under his breath every time he dashed past. Katherine had played the part of the innocent, her face buried in work as his outbursts echoed across the room. And every time he disappeared into the toil

    The tension in the office was so thick it felt solid. Katherine swallowed hard, finally tearing her gaze away from Massimo. He was still standing where he'd been since Rosa announced the news, his jaw tight, fists clenched at his side. Rosa had fled as though her trousers were truly on fire, leaving Katherine alone to face the storm. She cleared her throat. “I-I’ll go get your coffee now… and also get Sir Damien his too. I’ll be back soon.”She turned toward the door, but before her fingers could touch the handle, a firm hand slammed against the wood beside her. Her breath hitched as Massimo’s body closed in. Her back hit the door with a dull thud.He was too close. Close enough that she could feel the heat of him.She looked up at him, heart racing. “Wh-what are you doing, Ma-Massimo? You—”Her words dissolved into a shaky gasp when his hand rose and settled against her throat, not tight, but just enough to steal the air from her lungs and send awareness flooding straight to her

    Monday Morning.“Ethan, hurry up or you’re going to be late for school!” Katherine called out as she double-checked the lunch bag on the counter. It was her first day back at work, and all weekend she’d rehearsed her survival strategy: stay invisible, avoid Damien completely, and most importantly, keep herself far, far away from Massimo.But even the thought of him made her stomach twist. No matter how hard she tried to shove it out of her mind, the memory of that humiliating encounter at the hospital clung to her. Every time it replayed in her head, she felt her cheeks heat in embarrassment. How was she supposed to look him in the eye today? Share the same hallway? Breathe the same office air?Be neutral. Pretend nothing happened. Focus. You planned this, Katherine. Stick to it, she reminded herself for the hundredth time, inhaling deeply.“Mom, I’m here.”Ethan’s small voice pulled her back to reality. She looked down to find him standing in front of her ready.A smile softened her

    “You caused all of this! You’re the cause of it!” Ariana snapped, pacing the hospital room.Ryan sat on the edge of the visitor chair, shoulders hunched. “I’m sorry. I di—” he starts, but Massimo’s glare made the apology died on his tongue. Massimo lies propped against pillows, his chest a white sheet of bandages. Ariana watches Ryan’s face, then narrows her gaze at Massimo. She presses a fingertip to her chin, like she’s weighing a bitter thought.“That bastard son of Vortan will pay,” Massimo promised. “Once I’m out of here I’ll ruin him and his family. I’ll tear them apart, then I’ll finish it with Katherine. She’ll have nothing left.” He smiled, cruelly. “She deserves to be left in ruin with him.”Ariana’s jaw hardens. “You’ll do whatever you like to get revenge, Massimo, but not at Katherine’s expense. She’s my friend. You hurt her, you hurt me. Not a scratch, physically or emotionally will touch her while I can stop it. Settle your scores with Damien without involving her.”Ma

    Mr. Rogers (Katherine's former boss) sat in the dim glow of the hotel room, with a cigarette between his fingers. He leaned back on the velvet couch, watching the woman kneeling between his thighs with her mascara running down in messy streaks as she sucked on his cock, her tears glistening in the light. His face might’ve shown pleasure, but his mind was miles away, dragged back into the chaos that had consumed his life these past few months.Ever since the night Myles was killed.He could still hear the gunshot echoing in his head. He was the one who had pulled the trigger that killed Myles after days of battering his body with an acidic substance.Ever since that night, his life had been a living hell.Since his death, a group calling themselves the Revenge Team had been hunting him. And at first, he hadn’t taken them seriously. The first few messages he received seemed like a prank with anonymous notes, eerie pictures, even a doctored image of his face fixed onto a bloodstained th

    In New York CityMadam Elizabeth, Kassandra and uncle Daniel sat round the dining table. Kassandra sat at the head where Massimo always sat, cradling a tiny bundle against her thigh. The baby stirred, letting out a faint sound before settling again. Kassandra had given birth a week ago, but she'd just left the hospital for home yesterday.Madam Elizabeth leaned forward with a wide smile. “She looks so much like Massimo. She even has his nose. She's so cute.”Kassandra’s gaze flicked toward Uncle Daniel. Their eyes met briefly, before she turned back to Madam Elizabeth with a smile. “Yeah,” she murmured. “Much like him. I just wish he were here to see the masterpiece we’ve both created.”For a moment, silence filled the room. Daniel’s jaw tightened as his eyes lingered on the baby. How dare Kassandra say that?!Even in your absence, you still taunt me, don’t you, Massimo? he thought bitterly.Madam Elizabeth’s smile faltered. She covered Kassandra’s hand with a squeeze. “He’ll come
