Alexa’s POV

The truth hit them like a physical blow, a crushing, silent force that made the polished mahogany table between us feel like the edge of a cliff. The air in the boardroom, once thick with tension and hostility, was now suffocating with a grief so raw it felt tangible. The man I had known my entire life as a titan of industry, a fierce rival, my father, was gone. The anger that had fueled his existence had been replaced by a vacant, horrified stare. He sat there, a shell of his former self, a man left with nothing but the devastating knowledge that his entire life’s work—his rivalry, his vengeance—had been built on a lie.

Across from him, Don Antonio looked no better. The man who had always carried himself with an impenetrable grace and icy control now looked utterly broken. His stoicism had crumbled, revealing the human pain beneath. He wasn’t a rival or a threat; he was just another broken old man, brought together with my father by a lie that had stolen so much from th

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   125. An Old Friend

    Don Antonio’s POVThe heavy, ornate door of the library closed behind Donald, and the lock clicked with a quiet finality. There were no assistants, no lawyers, no reporters. Just the two of us, surrounded by old books and the scent of leather. This wasn't a business meeting or a negotiation. It was a final meeting between two men who were finally free.He didn’t sit down. Neither did I. We just stood there, facing each other across the polished hardwood floor, a lifetime of animosity stretched out between us like a physical thing. We didn’t shake hands. There was no need for a formal truce. I looked at him, truly looked at him, and saw a man who had lost everything he thought was real. The fire in his eyes was gone, replaced by a hollow emptiness that mirrored my own. We had both been so consumed by this war, so focused on destroying each other, that we had failed to see the truth right in front of us. We had both been victims of a lie we believed in, and we had both paid a terrible

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   124. A Forgiving Spirit

    Alexa’s POVI closed my eyes, exhausted by the weight of everything that had happened. The room was dark and quiet, but in my mind, a different light began to form, soft and golden. It wasn't the harsh light of the morning sun or the sterile glow of the boardroom. It was the warm, gentle light of a memory, of a place that felt like home.And then she was there, in my dreams. My mother stood in the soft light, her hands clasped in front of her. She looked just as beautiful as I had always known her to be, but there was a new sadness in her eyes, a deep regret that hadn't been there before. I wanted to scream at her, to ask her why she had let all this happen, but the words wouldn't come. All that came out was a soft, choked-up sound.She took a step closer, and her voice was a quiet whisper that still filled the silence. "I'm so sorry, my love," she said. "I'm sorry for the secrets I kept. I'm sorry for the lies. I'm sorry for trying to push you away from him."The words hung in the ai

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   123. Apologize Like A Man

    Don Antonio’s POV The door to her studio was nothing like the heavy, imposing one to the boardroom. This one felt lighter, almost welcoming, and I pushed it open slowly, hesitantly. The smell of paint, canvas, and something else—a clean, sharp scent of possibility—filled the air. The harsh morning sun outside was softened by the blinds, casting long, peaceful shadows across the room.And there she was. Not the fiery, defiant woman I had fought against for so long, but a person completely consumed by her work. She was bent over a large sketch pad, her hair falling across her face. Around her were piles of new designs, lines and shapes that were unlike anything I'd ever seen from her. They were sharp, raw, and so full of emotion they felt like they could leap off the paper. I realized then that she wasn't just a designer; she was a true artist, turning her heartbreak into something new and beautiful.My own grief was a heavy, useless weight inside me. I had come here not knowing what I

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   121. Open Secret

    Alexa’s POVThe polished mahogany of the boardroom table reflected the sharp angles of the city's skyline outside the window, a stark contrast to the quiet park bench of yesterday. The air was thick with tension that no amount of expensive decor could soften. Don Antonio sat on one side, his face a mask of weary composure, while my father sat opposite him, his usual bravado replaced by a subdued, almost fragile air. They were two kings, meeting on neutral ground to sign a truce, but it felt more like a surrender.I had found the location from my mother, the information delivered with a single, knowing look that told me she understood what I had to do. The silence in the room was a fragile thing, waiting to be shattered. And I was the one holding the hammer.The two men didn't even hear me at first. I pushed the heavy oak door open, the sound echoing through the room and drawing their heads up in unison. Two sets of eyes, one dark and calculating, the other weary and defeated, stared a
