“Hey! He is my baby boy too,” Lucy said, sounding dramatically offended.“Okay, okay, my mistake. Sorry, Lucy,” Rosa laughed playfully, yielding to her friend. Lucy laughed soundlessly right back, shaking her head.“Really, Madam, Lucy and I can stay while you go and rest. It’s completely fine,” Luca insisted.Despite his reassurance, Rosa’s heart couldn't be completely at ease with the idea of leaving her son. In the past, she had been forced to leave Renzo in Lucy's care, but back then, she had been helpless against a cruel twist of fate and circumstances beyond her control. Now, things were different. The tide had turned, and she no longer had to leave him behind.“Baby, you’re weak, and I don’t want to take any risks with you or our baby,” Luciano insisted, his tone dropping into a soft, protective murmur that once again caught Luca off guard. “After I drop you off at home, I’ll come straight back and stay here with our son,” he promised.Lucy cut in, waving off his concern. “Lucia
Rosa blinked, her brow furrowing in brief confusion. But a second later, the sheer audacity of his double entendre dawned on her, and her eyes widened in shock. Lucy immediately looked away, suddenly finding the hospital floor fascinating, while Luca let out a loud, forced cough to clear his throat.“Boss, please,” Luca warned in an amused but strained tone. “We have a woman and a child in the room.”Luciano whipped his head around and leveled a sharp glare at him. Luca quickly pressed his lips together, looking away with a massive, victorious smirk.Rosa shook her head at her shameless husband, who clearly didn't care about the time or place whenever the mood struck him.“Renzo, your daddy has gone completely insane from sleep deprivation,” she said, directing her attention back to her son. “So just don't listen to a word he says.”Luciano let out a low growl at the way she deliberately used that word again.“You really know exactly how to push my buttons, baby,” he murmured under his
“What is going on in here?” Rosa frowned, her voice raised in disbelief as she marched right past Luciano straight to Renzo’s bed and snatched the phone from his hands.Luca and Lucy, who were sitting right beside the hospital bed, looked up at her with matching guilty expressions.Rosa looked at Luca first before turning a pointed, disapproving look on Lucy. “I didn't expect this—at least not from you, Lucy. He needs his rest. He needs proper sleep to heal.”“I’m sorry, Rosie,” Lucy said with a sheepish smile, lifting her hands in an immediate gesture of surrender. “My baby boy woke up crying for his mommy, and you know I just can't bear to see him cry. I did what I had to do to make him stop.”She glanced fondly at the little boy, who was watching the grown-ups with quiet fascination, clearly loving the fact that he was the center of attention.“He wanted to see Luca’s phone,” Lucy continued with a helpless shrug. “You know how he is. It's that new model that hasn't even hit the mark
Sitting behind her desk, the doctor pulled a prescription pad toward her and began writing, her focus entirely on the paper. The heavy silence in the room stretched on until she finally looked up, addressing the anxious couple.“I have checked her thoroughly, Mr. Mancini. The ultrasound and the heartbeat monitor show that the baby is completely fine, and her blood pressure is perfectly stable.” She paused, her serious expression softening into a reassuring smile. “There is absolutely nothing to worry about. It's just standard morning sickness—a very difficult, but very common phase in pregnancy.”“But doctor, I didn’t feel this bad even in my early weeks, and now I’m at the end of the third month. Why now?” Rosa asked, her voice laced with confusion and exhaustion.“Well, every pregnancy has its own unique timeline and symptoms, and it seems you are just hitting this wave a bit later,” the doctor explained gently. “The best thing you can do is keep yourself hydrated. Eat small meals at
Luciano paced frantically outside the restroom door, his phone glued to his ear. In a blind panic, he had already summoned the hospital’s top doctors and nurses, who were rushing down the hallway toward him. He had even called Samuele—completely forgetting their rivalry in his terror. Samuele wasn't an OB-GYN, but he was the only person Luciano knew personally and could fiercely rely on in a situation in the hospital. Samuele did his best to ground him, firmly reassuring him that Rosa and the baby would be fine. For the first five minutes, the agonizing sounds of dry-heaving had echoed from inside. But now, another five minutes had passed in absolute silence.Ten long minutes, and Rosa hadn't come out.His heart sank, gripped by a cold, unexpected dread. Just moments ago, he had been furiously yelling at Luca over the phone, blaming him for the food. Luca had frantically sworn he bought it from a Michelin-starred restaurant, having personally instructed the chef to prepare it specific
Samuele stopped in his tracks, a sharp frown pulling at his brow.“And I mean it, sir,” she added, her voice ringing with a sudden, bold confidence.That did it. Samuele turned slowly around to face her, his dark eyes turning cold with a dangerous friction as his brows knitted together.But Bella, as if possessed by this newfound boldness and fueled by Rosa’s encouraging words from just a few minutes ago, didn't stop. “Yes, I like you, Dr. Samuele DeLuca. And I am adult enough to own up to it.”Samuele’s eyes narrowed dangerously, a muscle ticking in his jaw. Without a word, he began walking toward her, his strides slow and deliberate. Bella stood her ground, forcing a sweet, confident smile onto her face. But as he kept closing the distance, getting within a single step of her, her racing heartbeat—growing wilder with every stride he took—overrode her bravery. On their own, her feet started to move. She took a step back.He stepped closer. She took another step back.They kept going
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.“
