Chapter 8

Author: Clear Dreams
"Lorenzo! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. A weak punch like that is nothing," Lorenzo said, flashing a reassuring smile even as blood welled in his mouth.

I spun on my heel, glaring fiercely at Leonardo.

"Have you completely lost your mind, Leonardo?! What gives you the right to show up here and lay hands on my people?!"

Leonardo froze in his tracks, his body trembling slightly from a mix of rage and utter disbelief. Seeing the way I threw myself in front of Lorenzo to protect him, the sheer bitte

    "Leonardo! What did you just say?!"Gia shrieked as she lunged in front of Leonardo, throwing herself into his arms."You're sending me away to Chesterford? You're going to abandon me for this woman?!"You can't leave me! I won't let you leave me!"I instinctively furrowed my brow. Gia's state seemed completely unstable, far beyond her usual tantrums.Enraged at having his desperate plea interrupted, Leonardo shoved her off with brutal force, roaring in her face."Gia! Haven't you had enough? Do you have any idea that Bianca is cutting ties with me for good?!"Because of your absurd, endless demands, I've already ruined my marriage eight times! When on earth are you going to let me go?"Gia was thrown onto the ground. She tilted her face up, a terrifying, unhinged smile spreading across her lips."Let you go? Leonardo, my father gave his life to save yours! Your whole life belongs to me!"It's great if she won't marry you. I'll marry you instead!"The words burst out of Gia'

    "Lorenzo! Are you okay?""I'm fine. A weak punch like that is nothing," Lorenzo said, flashing a reassuring smile even as blood welled in his mouth.I spun on my heel, glaring fiercely at Leonardo."Have you completely lost your mind, Leonardo?! What gives you the right to show up here and lay hands on my people?!"Leonardo froze in his tracks, his body trembling slightly from a mix of rage and utter disbelief. Seeing the way I threw myself in front of Lorenzo to protect him, the sheer bitterness and grievance in his eyes nearly boiled over."Bianca... I was trying to protect you!"Look at yourself, Bianca! You're exhausted. He's controlling you, isn't he?!"He's poisoning your mind! You would never talk to me like this on your own!"A cold laugh bubbled up in my chest from pure rage.Now he decides he wants to protect me? Where was that protective drive when Gia was tormenting and humiliating me? Back then, he was nothing more than Gia's willing accomplice."The best way y

    The phone rang again, and this time I answered."Bianca! Where on earth are you? Why haven't you been replying to my messages?!"Leonardo's voice sounded on the verge of a total breakdown."And Lorenzo... what the hell is he to you?"It seemed he had finally dug up Lorenzo's identity: the underboss of the Greco family, my father's trusted right-hand man, and my adopted brother.Hearing his tone, which reeked of someone accusing their spouse of cheating, I felt an unprecedented wave of satisfaction.Dirty-minded people see dirt in everything. Just like how he knew deep down that his dynamic with Gia was blurred and toxic, he couldn't help but assume Lorenzo and I had something unnatural going on, too."What Lorenzo and I do is none of your concern, Leonardo. Don't forget that we're divorced."Even if I had ten men lined up outside my door, that is my right as a single woman. You don't get to interrogate me anymore.""Or what, is it only okay for you and Gia to have your littl

    Leonardo froze in place, confusion and helplessness filling his eyes."Bianca, what are you talking about? How could I be an outsider? I'm your husband!"I let out a self-deprecating laugh, pulling open the car door and sliding inside."Leonardo, don't forget we got divorced today. You're not my husband anymore."Just as the engine roared to life, Leonardo lunged wildly in front of the car."No, that's not how it is! Bianca! Get out of the car and let me explain!"This time is just like the previous seven times. We'll remarry again very soon!"He slammed his hands against the car window, desperate. Meanwhile, Gia, who had been trailing behind him with tears in her eyes, tugged at his arm."Leonardo... my head's spinning, and I think my nose is bleeding. Can you take me to the hospital, please?"Just leave that woman alone. Let her leave with whoever she wants!"Leonardo's footsteps faltered, and he instinctively reached out to steady Gia.He looked down at the crying Gia, th

    I yanked my hand out of his grip and stared calmly at Leonardo."It means nothing except that from now on, whether you guys want to eat or play around with suicide, I'm done playing along."Leonardo tried to step toward me, but Lorenzo took a swift step forward, blocking his path entirely."It seems Don Leonardo has no idea how to value a rare diamond."He slipped off his suit jacket and draped it over my shivering shoulders, a rare flicker of sympathy softening his usual icy expression."If you were suffering like this, Bianca, you should have called home months ago.""Bianca, you need to remember that the entire Greco family has your back. Anyone who dares lay a finger on you, I'll send them to feed the fish at the bottom of the sea."A sudden wave of warmth washed over my heart. Lorenzo's words were meant less for me and more as a blatant warning aimed straight at Leonardo.He was still protecting me, just like he used to when we were kids."Let's go. The car is waiting out

    The last spark of hope deep inside my heart finally died out.I raised my head and looked at Leonardo, my expression completely flat. "If that's the case, then just kick me out."Leonardo's body shuddered violently. He lowered his gaze, taking me in.The swollen red bruise on my forehead was a horrifying sight, and several tiny droplets of blood were still oozing from the pinpricks on my arm. As for my toes, they were rubbed raw from running all that distance, leaving faint smears of blood on the cold marble floor.In those eyes of his that usually held nothing but cold, decisive authority, a flicker of panic actually surfaced."Bianca..." he began, his voice slightly raspy.But almost immediately, he forced that guilt back down. He grabbed my wrist roughly and hauled me straight into the bedroom.The door slammed shut, finally leaving just the two of us."Bianca, look at yourself! What kind of behavior is this?!" He exhaled heavily, his tone dripping with exhaustion and di
