Luciano looked at his wife for a long moment before lowering his gaze to his coffee.For the first time, the Italian Don couldn't meet her eyes.The sight broke Rosa's heart.She knew the man sitting beside her was supposed to be formidable, impenetrable, and untouchable. Seeing him so utterly broken hurt her more than she could ever put into words.Even though it pained her to push him, she wanted him to finally open up—to let go of all the sorrow, guilt, and fears that had been eating away at him and slowly destroying their marriage.After a long silence, Luciano finally spoke."I... I'll call the wedding coordinator," he said quietly. "Tell her everything should stay as it was. The wedding will go ahead on the original date."Rosa gently shook her head and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze."I'm not asking about the wedding, Luciano." Her voice was soft but unwavering. "I'm asking why."She searched his face."What made you cancel it without even discussing it with me? What fright
Rosa and Luciano walked back into the mansion together.By then, the household staff had arrived and were already busy preparing for the day. Rosa gave a few quick instructions for breakfast before heading upstairs to wake Renzo for school.Luciano followed her.Everywhere.She let him, secretly marveling at how completely she held his attention. Every time she looked over her shoulder, his eyes were already on her—and that soft, heart-melting smile refused to leave his face whenever he looked her way.He followed her into the bathroom while she helped their son brush his teeth. He leaned against the doorframe while she ran his bath. Then he lingered by the dresser as she helped Renzo get dressed.He simply refused to leave her side.Eventually, even four-year-old Renzo had enough."Daddy," he sighed, folding his little arms across his chest. "Don't you have work? You've been standing there staring at Mommy like a weirdo."Luciano rubbed the back of his neck, a sheepish smile breaking
"Rosie..." Luciano's voice came out strained. He drew in a slow, controlled breath, fighting to keep his composure. "I never wanted this marriage to begin with. It's better if we both go our separate ways and live the lives we want.""What's really bothering you, Luciano?" Rosa asked instead, ignoring everything he had just said. The question caught him completely off guard. She took another step closer, closing the distance between them. He fought hard to maintain that indifferent face, but she saw the muscle twitching in his jaw and his palm flexing at his side."Nothing is bothering me," he replied, avoiding her eyes as he tried to pull his hand free. "Just... leave me alone."But Rosa refused to let go. Instead, she wrapped both of her hands around his, holding on with everything she had."No," she said, making him look at her. "You don't get to shut me out again. You already did that once, and it broke us."Her voice was steady, but every word carried the weight of the years she
Samuele's jaw tightened. "You think she needs your money?" he barked. "You're a fool."He stepped protectively in front of Rosa, his eyes burning with anger. "I'm here for her. Rosa is more than capable of building a life without you or your money. So just disappear from her life."Turning to Rosa, Samuele's expression softened despite the anger still burning in his eyes."Come on, Rosa. You're not staying here," he urged, picking it up from the floor and holding the divorce papers out to her. "Sign them, and let's leave." But Rosa barely heard a word he said. She stood frozen, staring at Luciano as his words echoed relentlessly in her mind: I can't do this anymore. Let's end this.A painful wave of déjà vu crashed over her. Five years ago, he had cast her out without a second thought. Now, he was walking away from her all over again.Luciano broke the silence, his voice calm and almost detached. "She doesn't have to leave."Both Rosa and Samuele turned to look at him. Rosa was still
As Rosa descended the stairs after being told that Dr. Samuele had arrived, confusion crossed her face at first. But then panic hit her.Renzo.Had something happened? Had Samuele discovered a problem with his recovery?Her heart lurched.Without another thought, she hurried down the remaining steps, nearly breaking into a run. In her panic, she forgot all about manners and greetings."Samuele!" she called the moment she reached him. "You're here this early? Is everything okay? Is something wrong with Renzo's recovery?"Samuele gave her a reassuring smile and nodded."Good morning to you too, Rosa."Rosa froze for a second before letting out an embarrassed sigh."Sorry... I just..." She rubbed her forehead. "Good morning, Samuele."His smile widened."There's nothing to worry about. Renzo is doing very well. His recovery is on track, and he's perfectly healthy." His expression softened as he looked her over. "You, on the other hand, don't look fine. You've lost a lot of weight. Stop wo
The don slowly pulled away from Luca's embrace, his tear-filled eyes fixed on him in disbelief, as though he'd just heard a language he didn't understand."L... love?" he repeated, frowning.Luca nodded without hesitation."Yes. You're in love with your wife."Luciano blinked at him."No." He shook his head almost immediately. "That's impossible. People have spent their whole lives calling me incapable of feeling. Love... isn't something meant for a man like me."He had never believed in love. To him, it was nothing more than a fantasy people wrote about in novels or whispered about in fairy tales. Something that belonged to everyone else, never to him.Luca studied him for a moment before speaking."Boss, I've never seen you like this before. You can't eat. You can't sleep. You're crying because you can't bear the thought of Madam with another man." A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "If that isn't love, I don't know what is."Luciano stared at him in silence."So..." he
Just as Luciano turned the corner, Rosa arrived at the other end of the hall. She saw his retreating back, but at that exact moment, Luciano turned around. Rosa froze.Pure, cold fear gripped her. She instinctively ducked against the wall, hiding behind a thick marble pillar. Luciano’s eyes swept th
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
Luciano had been furious with Rosa for lying to him. He had avoided going to see her because he knew he wouldn’t be able to control the monsters inside him—and he might end up hurting her.But that morning, when he heard she was going to Prose and Stanza, his anger turned into worry. He didn’t know
One hour earlier…Luciano was sitting in his car, with Luca driving them toward his office, when his phone rang. It was the man he had assigned to follow and guard Rosa.From the bodyguard, he learned that Rosa was on her way to her father’s publishing house. The news immediately put him on edge.“
