LOGIN“Oh, fuck!” Reid hissed, lunging at Luciano before he could pull the trigger.At the same time, Luca panicked, moving swiftly in to help restrain the Don.“Let go of me, Reid,” the Don growled. Reid shook his head, his grip tightening on Luciano’s wrists to keep him from aiming at Samuele.“Move, or I’ll kill you first!” Luciano warned, but Reid didn't budge.“Boss, calm down. We’ll deal with him later, but not here—not in the hospital,” Luca pleaded, trying to reach him.“No, I’ll fucking kill him! He keeps irritating me... keeps touching my Rosie!” Luciano roared.The noise shattered the moment for Rosa and Samuele. They broke their embrace and turned toward the commotion. Lucy was already staring at the infamous Don, horror etched into her face.Rosa quickly realized what was happening and threw herself in front of Samuele, shielding him with her own body.“What the fuck are you doing, Luciano?” she cried, her eyes wide with panic, and her heart began to pound so loudly she felt she
Luciano headed straight to the hospital bar to grab two coffees and a couple of panini. He thrust them toward Luca. “Take these to Lucy. Tell her to make sure Rosie eats.”Luca took the food tray with a nod, though a knot formed in his chest. Lucy had been frowning at him whenever he came into her line of sight today. Her anger was evident and directed right at him. He wanted to talk to her, but with Renzo still in the Pediatric ICU and everyone frayed with worry, it didn't feel like the right time for a personal fight.However, a command from the Don was a matter of duty. Luca walked over to where Lucy sat with Rosa. He stood back, waiting until Lucy finally looked up. He gestured for her to come and take the food, but she only deepened her frown. It was only when he pointed toward Rosa, signaling that the food was for the grieving mother, that she finally moved.Lucy stood up and walked over. As he handed her the tray, he kept his voice low. “This is for you and Madam.”Lucy stared a
They stood facing each other in the heavy silence of the hallway. Luciano waited for her to offer an explanation, and Rosa waited for him to demand one, but none of them spoke.Finally, Rosa turned and sank onto a seat in the lobby. Her eyes lifted to the doors of the Pediatric ICU one last time before she buried her face in her palms. Closing her eyes, she began to pray silently, her entire body trembling with the silent sobs of her plea for Renzo’s recovery.Luciano watched her, his blue eyes clouded with helpless worry. He began to move toward the empty space beside her, but Lucy rushed past him. She reached Rosa first, sliding into the seat and lacing a comforting arm around her friend’s shoulders.“Rosa! He will be fine. Our baby boy has to be alright,” Lucy whispered, her own voice unsteady as her heart ached for little Renzo. Rosa lifted her head, and her face was now drenched in tears. She threw herself into Lucy’s arms and sobbed against Lucy's shoulder. Her tears soaked into
Luciano froze at her cry, spinning around to face them.“Renzo?!” His voice cracked, fear flashing across his face as he saw the boy’s eyes closed and his body limp in Rosa's embrace. The boy was still breathing, but he was unresponsive. He tried to shove his way closer to take him from Rosa, but she clutched her son tightly in her arms, shielding him with her own body.“Don’t touch my son!” Rosa bawled, her voice raw. “If anything happens to him, I will fucking kill you, Luciano Mancini. Remember that!”Luciano’s eyes flashed with a momentary rage at her words, but he refused to fight her now. He turned to his men and roared, “Get the car! Inform the hospital—now!”When Samuele and Lucy heard Rosa’s panicked voice, they tried to move toward her, but Reid blocked Samuele while Luca stopped Lucy. Lucy glared at Luca, her eyes burning with fury, but Luca simply looked away. He gestured for one of his men to take over his post; his boss’s life was in total chaos, and he would have to deal
Rosa swallowed hard, her mind nearly grinding to a halt now that her nightmare had become reality right in front of her. But she shoved her fear down and met his eyes with forced confidence.“She... she is right. You’re making crazy assumptions. What would I do with your son? I didn’t even know you had one.” Rosa’s voice was frantic, laced with sheer nervousness.“You didn't know I had a son? That we have a son?!” he challenged, his gaze intensifying until it felt like a physical weight.“What? No! I don’t know what you're talking about,” Rosa lied again, knowing damn well that Samuele had blurted her secret to Luciano. But she wasn't going to accept it. Not now. Not ever. When he narrowed his eyes at her, she let out a taunting giggle. “Oh God, Luciano, you know very well that Renzo is Lucy’s son.”“Yeah? Then what are you doing here with him, and where are you taking him without Lucy?” He was dead-set on tearing the truth out of her, determined to make her confess with her own fucki
Rosa sat in the airport with Renzo, watching him eat his waffle with Nutella. She smiled at the contentment on the little boy’s face. Then, she touched her flat stomach, feeling the new life growing inside her. A surge of joy and accomplishment rushed through her.There was a time when she was all alone. First, her parents died, and her uncle’s family treated her poorly, throwing her out onto the streets. Then, her grandfather took her into his home, but he also left her alone in this world. She had even been married and had a husband and a family, but no one cared for her. Only Luciano’s grandparents were compassionate toward her, but after Luciano declared his intent to divorce her, even they never turned to look at her again.Then she had her light: her son, Renzo. Since then, she was never alone. Now, another of her own flesh and blood would come into this world, and the three of them would be a family—they would need no one else.But then she remembered Samuele and his proposal. O
The hospital corridor was a blur of sterile white and frantic movement. Lucy’s heart hammered against her ribs; she had already called Rosa, and the guilt of losing sight of Renzo was eating her alive. When the automatic doors hissed open, Rosa practically sp
Early that morning, Luciano’s grandmother’s condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. She began struggling to breathe and was rushed to the hospital immediately. As soon as Luciano received the news, he raced there.His grandfather was already by his wife's side, but the moment Luciano entered
“Listen to you, Alberto—still drunk on your own confidence,” Rita snapped at her brother, her tone sharp with contempt. “That same damn confidence almost cost us everything. If I hadn’t thought clearly and acted in time, we’d still be rotting and living in poverty.”Vittoria scowled. “Don’t forget—
“Where’s the boss?” Reid demanded as he stepped into the mafia headquarters.One of Luciano’s men shifted uneasily, his eyes flicking toward the corridor that led to the torture room. Reid followed the glance, already shaking his head, and strode in that direction without another word.The screams
