No Longer Mrs. Vincenzo Chapter 9
Lorenzo's gaze locked onto the child. Those eyes. They were exactly like his.He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.I bent down and scooped up my son, patting his back gently."A stranger."Matteo nodded, not quite understanding, then wrapped his little arms around my neck."Mommy, let's go home. Aunt Greer already made your favorite steak."I nodded, lifted my son, and walked away. I didn't look back at Lorenzo.After Lorenzo left, I thought my life had finally returned to normal.I had my career. I had my sister who loved me. I had Matteo.I thought the people who had hurt me would never cross my path again.But I never expected Elara to show up.That night, I had just finished a shoot and was about to take Matteo home.As we walked into the parking garage, several figures stepped out from the shadows.I instinctively moved to shield Matteo behind me. But before I could react, everything went black.When I came to, freezing wind whipped across my face.I opened my eyes and foun

I got exactly what I wanted. I joined the best photography studio in Paris, and the director, Claudia, dropped a mountain of client orders on my desk."Ayana, these clients saw your portfolio and they're all fighting to book you.""Especially this model. Tons of photographers have tried to work with her, but she only wants you."I smiled and took the orders, asking my assistant to schedule all the shoot dates.My sister Greer sent me the final divorce decree. She said Lorenzo only wanted me to be happy.The commissions kept pouring in. Every time I released a new set of images, they dominated the fashion pages.Within three months, I had cemented my position as the studio's chief photographer. My booking calendar was full for the next three years.The day I went on maternity leave, Claudia showed up at my door with a trunk full of nutritional supplements and baby supplies."Ayana, congratulations."She hesitated. I stroked my son Matteo's little hand and smiled at her."Just say what y

Lorenzo's POVIn an instant, countless private investigators from the Vincenzo family were deployed.But they scoured every port and airport in New York. No trace of Ayana.Detective Capo reported back cautiously."Mr. Vincenzo, we can't find any information on Mrs. Vincenzo."Before he could finish, Lorenzo hurled a bottle at his feet."Useless. All of you are useless.""What's the point of the Vincenzo family keeping you?"The days Ayana had been gone, Lorenzo went nowhere. He stayed home, drowning in alcohol, sitting from dusk till dawn.But that locked door never opened again.He still foolishly believed that once Ayana cooled down, she would come back on her own.What he didn't know was that Greer had already bought Ayana a new identity on the black market.Of course he couldn't find Ayana.Detective Capo stood frozen, not daring to move, letting the glass shards cut into his legs. Blood dripped down."Maybe Mrs. Vincenzo never left New York at all."Lorenzo stared at him with dar

Lorenzo's POVLorenzo stared at the familiar folder, his heart pounding so hard it almost hurt. For the first time, he felt real fear.His hands trembled as he flipped to the last page. His own signature stared back at him.But the day Elara had handed him that folder, she said it was paperwork for the Vincenzo family's neighborhood protection fees.She had come to him with the folder already open, tears streaming down her face."Lorenzo, I'm scared. Why would Ayana threaten me like this?""Is it because I've been too close to you? But I swear, I don't have any feelings for you like that. I only see you as my dearest senior.""Besides, you saved my aunt's life. Doesn't that mean I should be grateful to you?"He had looked at her red, swollen eyes and felt a pang of pity. To comfort her, he signed without even reading the contents.He never imagined it was a divorce agreement.So that day, Ayana had already made up her mind to leave him.His steps felt unsteady. All he wanted now was to

Lorenzo's POVLorenzo hadn't slept at all that night. Ayana's ashen face kept flashing through his mind.Regret crept in. Why had he defended Elara when Ayana was the one hurt?He tossed and turned until morning, then went straight to the jewelry store. He bought the sapphire necklace Ayana had always wanted but never let herself have.He looked at the gleaming blue stone and suddenly remembered her eyes right after they got married. They used to shine just like that."Lorenzo, we'll be together forever."He had held her hand and answered, "Until the end."A smile tugged at his lips. Ayana would be so happy when she saw this.He walked into the hospital and pushed open the door to her room. Her bed was empty."Ayana... Ayana..."He called her name as he rushed to the nurses' station.He grabbed a nurse by the arm, so frantic he almost dropped the necklace box."Where is Ayana?"The nurse looked uncomfortable under his panicked gaze."Dr. Lorenzo, Mrs. Vincenzo has already been discharg

I opened my eyes to Elara's face hovering over me. Blood was pooling beneath my body.Greer burst through the door, shoved Elara to the floor, and slammed the call button by the bed."Doctor! Get in here! She's bleeding!"The medical team rushed in and wheeled me to the emergency room.The surgery lasted five hours. The baby survived.When they rolled me back to my room, I stared at the blinding lights overhead and let the tears stream down my face.The doctor said I had a difficult time conceiving. This child was a miracle. Thank God Greer found me in time.Greer reached over and wiped my tears away. That was when Elara walked in.She hung her head, looking wounded."Ayana, I didn't mean it. I was just so worried. I thought it was just your normal anemia.""So I gave you a stronger medication. I had no idea you were pregnant. I didn't know it would react badly."Her voice shrank smaller and smaller. Greer raised her hand and slapped her across the face."Your prenatal report was right
