Chapter 898

Guys!

I’m NOT going to be bullied into giving someone children again. I have nine other couples. NINE. And guess what? Almost all of them have children. Some have multiple children. So if you need babies to feel emotionally fulfilled, there are plenty of families in this universe for you to visit.

In my previous book, I wanted Alessia and Rino to finally just live for each other after everything they’ve been through. But apparently babies are the missing ingredient to complete a marriage. 💀

And now, after years of Allegra and Remo (Their children from their respective marriages) being their entire personality and their first priority, apparently Isabella is next because, let's be honest, good parents prioritize their children, that's just facts.

But God forbid Gianna and Raphael decide they want to work on themselves, heal, grow, and become better versions of themselves before bringing a child into the picture, or even bringing one at all.

Apparently, according to some people, having a baby is basically a magical cure-all.

Bad mental health? BABY.

Trauma? BABY.

Relationship problems? BABY.

Existential crisis? BABY. 😂

And apparently nobody has learned anything from real life, so… drumroll please 🥁

Lindsay Clancy.

People with bad mental health should not have children before working on themselves first!

But yes, let’s continue pretending that parenthood automatically fixes people instead of acknowledging that sometimes people need to work on themselves BEFORE they become responsible for another human being. 😭

Anyway, I said what I said. 😂

At this point, I’m genuinely concerned for the men in some of these women’s real lives because according to the comments, only Gianna is allowed to have feelings, opinions, boundaries, and free will. 💀

Raph? Personality? Who needs it.

His opinions? Irrelevant.

His feelings? Please, he’s a man. 😂

His job is apparently to stand there, nod enthusiastically, and say, “Whatever you want, my queen.” 👑

And God forbid he makes a decision Gianna doesn’t like. Suddenly I’m the devil for giving a fictional MAN a personality. 😭😭

Honestly, prayers for their husbands, boyfriends, and future husbands. May they be strong. May they survive. May they remember they are also human beings with opinions. 😂🙏

And before someone inevitably misunderstands me: I’m a hardcore feminist in real life.

I actively advocate for women’s rights, equality, women having their own choices, careers, independence, safety, and the freedom to live their lives however the hell they want.

But there’s a difference between feminism and “women good, men bad” feminism.

It’s 2026. We really don’t need to turn every relationship into a gender war. Men are allowed to have feelings, boundaries, opinions, personalities, and sometimes even be right. Shocking, I know.

Gianna doesn’t have to sacrifice herself for Raphael, and Raphael doesn’t have to sacrifice himself for Gianna. They’re both human beings.

That’s literally the point.

Also, before anyone asks, this note cost you absolutely nothing. It’s a note chapter, so you didn’t spend a coin, a key, or anything on this one.

You’re welcome. ❤️
