LOGINHey everyone,
Iâm so sorry for the delayed updates. Unfortunately, my health didnât improve as expected, and Iâve been advised to take some time off to rest and finish my medications. (Itâs just all the stress catching up, Iâll be up in no time.) I truly appreciate your patience and understanding. The moment Iâm back on my feet, Iâll be jumping straight behind my keyboard! I know, I miss Nikolai and Sylvia as well. 𼺠Thank you for sticking with me and for understanding. Take care of yourselves too. xoxo đHey fam! And thatâs a wrap! Writing Nikolai and Sylviaâs story has been such a refreshing ride for me. . . and for you, I hope. First time exploring the whole complex plot of church, convent, bad boy meets innocent angel nun vibesâand whew, I loved every second of it! I hope you did too, because Iâm just getting started. This universe is growing, and Iâm committed to giving you something fresh and different with every new book. From Russel and Allesiaâs very spicy good-girl-meets-mob-sex-god vibe, to Vincenzo and Stacyâs once-upon-a-villain POV and chaotic trauma hate-to-love, to Nikolai and Sylviaâs soft opposites-attract, passionate bad boy vs innocent nun redemption arcâweâre building characters youâll never mix up. Now the big question isâWHOâS NEXT? Oh, itâs coming. I just need to revamp a few things, change the route, switch up the theme⌠you know how I do. I havenât decided which character to pick yet (lol), but trust me, itâll be worth the wait. Speculate in the comme
EPILOGUE âżââž Sylvia âżââž The pregnancy hormones were going to be the death of me. I sat in the car outside Nikolaiâs new warehouse, my hands gripping the steering wheel as another wave of need crashed over me. Fucking ridiculous. Weâd had sex this morning before he left for work. And last night. And the night before that. Yet here I was, five months pregnant and practically vibrating with want, because Iâd caught a glimpse of him adjusting his shirt this morning and hadnât been able to think about anything else since. Dr. Martinez had warned me about increased libido during pregnancy, but this was insane. Poor Nikolai was probably wondering what heâd gotten himself into, though heâd never complained. If anything, he seemed to worship my changing body with an intensity that made me feel like a goddess even when I felt like a whale. Through the windows, I could see him talking with his men, Luigi, Manuel, and Viktor clustered around him as he gestured at something on the floo
Chapter 163 âżââž Nikolai âżââž I ran her a bath while she sat on the edge of our bed, slowly peeling off her work clothes. The sight of her in just her lingerieâsomething Iâd specially requestedâall soft curves and smooth skin, sent the familiar jolt of want through me that she always inspired. But underneath the desire was something elseâa nagging worry that had been growing stronger over the past few weeks. Sheâd been tired more often, pushing herself harder than usual, and now the nausea⌠âThe bathâs ready,â I said softly, pushing the thoughts aside for now. She smiled gratefully, rising to kiss me softly before disappearing into the bathroom. I heard the soft splash of water as she settled into the tub, followed by a contented sigh that made me smile despite my concerns. Russel and Allesia insisted on keeping Maeve so we could settle into married life properly for the first few months. That was working really well, considering how often we converted every part of our new home
Chapter 162~ Work-life BalanceâżââžNikolaiâżââžHey guys! đWeâre almost at the end!

It had taken two months of construction and more money than I cared to calculate, but seeing the kids from the convent finally settled into a proper home made every penny worth it.Sylvia had been relentless in her vision for this place. What started as a simple relocation away from Albany had evolved into a full-scale NGO operation, complete with educational programs, counseling services, and what she called âlife ski
Chapter 161 âżââž Nikolai âżââž Dylanâs eyes swept the room, taking in the expanded group since heâd last visited. âSeriously though, between marriages and babies and engagements, I can barely keep track of who belongs to who anymore.â âItâs called growth, Dylan,â Melissa said sweetly from her perch on the arm of Keganâs chair. âSome of us are evolving beyond eternal bachelorhood.â âWell, Iâm not eternal. Iâm just⌠selectively single.â âSelectively single,â Marcel repeated with a snort. âYou mean âchronically unable to commitâ?â âI can commit,â Dylan protested. âI committed to showing up tonight, didnât I?â âTwo hours late,â Kegan pointed out, earning himself a mock glare. âFashionably late,â Dylan corrected. âThereâs a difference.â Some things never change, and Dylanâs commitment issues were about as reliable as Sicilyâs sunshine. âSpeaking of commitments,â Melissa said, turning those bright eyes on me with that mischievous gleam that usually meant trouble, âwe havenât talked
Chapter 160 âżââž Sylvia âżââž âWhat?â The word came out as a shriek of surprise before I could stop myself. âOh my God, congratulations!â But even as the words left my mouth, I could see this wasnât the joyful revelation it should have been. Allesia was shaking her head, fresh tears spilling over. âIâm scared,â she whispered. âI donât know if this is a bad time. I forgot my shots because I have this project Iâm working onâthis film thatâs been consuming all my time and attention. Iâve been so scattered, so focused on my careerâŚâ I guided her to one of the kitchen stools, my hands gentle on her shoulders. âHey, itâs okay. These things happen.â âBut they shouldnât have,â she said, her voice breaking. âRussel and I, we had a plan. We agreed to wait at least four years before having another baby. Adelio is barely two, and I was already pregnant during our wedding planning, which was stressful enough. We wanted to give ourselves time, to let me establish my career, to give Adelio more
Chapter 141âżââžSylviaâżââžI saw the exact moment his pupils dilated until his eyes were almost black, the way his breath caught in his throat like Iâd just offered him salvation.âBut you donât have to if you donât wantââ he started again, but his voice cracked.âBut Iâm going to,â I whispered, my
Chapter 135 âżââž Sylvia âżââž We spent the next twenty minutes arranging plates and napkins. Maeve chattered the entire time about the proper way to fold napkins (which Manuel had apparently taught her) and how important it was that everyone had the right utensils. âDaddy doesnât like his food to
Chapter 129 âżââž Sylvia âżââž The book in my hands might as well have been written in ancient hieroglyphics for all the sense it was making. Iâd been staring at the same page for twenty minutes, reading the same paragraph over and over, but the words kept swimming together. âŚThe protagonist walk
Chapter 133 âżââž Sylvia âżââž I opened my eyes to the soft sound of Dr. Martinezâs voice speaking in hushed tones just outside the bedroom door. The light filtering through the curtains felt too bright, making my head throb with a dull ache that had become my constant companion. ââŚthis medicatio
