After that, Luca acted like a man possessed. He poured all his energy into attacking Adriano, seizing territory, cutting off supply routes, and buying loyalty. He used every method imaginable.

She just wanted to live her own life in peace. However, every time Adriano came to see Mattia, he arrived with fresh injuries.Once, his arm was wrapped in gauze with blood seeping through.Serena frowned. "What's the point of you two fighting like this?"Adriano smiled bitterly. "He won't let go. What am I supposed to do? He wants me to hand you over. Says if I give you up, he'll back off."She fell silent. "What did you say?"He looked at her, his expression complicated. "I told him to dream on."She said nothing. She knew Adriano treated her well, bu

    That evening, Serena took Mattia for a walk around the neighborhood. The sunset was beautiful. Mattia ran ahead, his laughter bright and clear.Serena watched his small figure, a slight smile curving her lips. However, the next second, that smile froze on her face. Luca stood in the distance wearing all black. He had lost a lot of weight. His eyes were sunken, like he had not slept well in a long time.He looked at her. His lips moved, but he could not say anything.Serena's first reaction was to pull Mattia behind her.Mattia saw him too, and his small hand clutched the hem of Serena's shirt."Mamma...""It's okay," Serena said softly, then looked at Luca. Her gaze was as calm as if she were looking at a stranger. "Can I help you?"Luca's throat tightened. He had imagined countless scenarios of seeing her again. He thought she might curse him, hit him, or hate him. He never expected her to be this distant and calm."Serena, I..." He took a step forward.Serena took a step bac

    Luca's voice was absolute.Gabriele had always been a coward. He only touched Serena before because Ginevra had repeatedly assured him it would be fine. Now, faced with Luca, he was terrified out of his mind. Almost instinctively, he unbuckled his belt."Hurry up."Luca ordered Tommaso, "Record it."He did not leave. He just stood there watching Ginevra's agonized face. What floated before his eyes, though, was Serena's struggling expression in those videos.When she was sent to Adriano's bed, did she suffer like this too? When Ginevra schemed against her, did she suffer like this too? He was the one who started it all!"Bastard, don't touch me! Luca Romano, I'm your woman! Do you even have a heart?"The pain wracking her body made Ginevra's abdomen cramp. Blood flowed continuously. However, Gabriele kept grabbing her legs and pulling her down. He would do anything to save his own life.Luca watched the scene with cold detachment. "My woman... is Serena and only Serena."Gin

    Luca could not figure out what he wanted, but what he knew for certain was this—no matter what, he had to keep Serena by his side where he could watch her. When Tommaso brought him recent photos of Serena, Luca was transfixed.In the photos, her gaze was gentle. When she cared for the children, she radiated maternal warmth. She was so radiant that he could not look away.Luca felt himself being drawn to her again. However, when he saw Adriano's figure in the background, his expression darkened.Tommaso stood off to the side with his head ducked, not daring to speak. He could not figure out what Luca was thinking. He had been following Luca since the day he was confirmed as the Romano family's Don.He could not understand why Luca would send Serena to Adriano's bed. Was it just for power? But back then, Adriano was already out of the picture."Bring her back to me."Tommaso hesitated. "Don Romano, Adriano's been working hard to build his influence in the years he was banished abro

    Serena's body reached its limit. She slumped over the edge of the bed and fell into an exhausted sleep.Finally, a small hand touched her face. She felt it, and her eyes flew open. Mattia managed a weak smile, but it made Serena feel more at ease than anything.After confirming Mattia was alright, Serena thought about earning money to pay Adriano back for all the expenses. She did not want to owe him.The next day, Serena found a job at a preschool watching children. The hours were not too long, and she could still spend time with Mattia during her lunch break.After arranging everything, Serena finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had once resented the world because of Mattia. Now, he was the only thing keeping her going.…Back home, after the wedding was disrupted, Luca's true nature was exposed. People online cursed him relentlessly.Luca sat in his office, his expression dark.What bothered him was not the criticism or the Romano family's plummeting stock prices. It was

    Luca could only watch helplessly as Serena's frail figure disappeared through the doorway. Over the years, he had thought about leaving Serena countless times, but now that she was truly leaving, his heart felt hollow.Ginevra clutched his arm. "Luca, don't worry about that lunatic. Let's continue the wedding. I'm going to become the Don's wife."Luca slowly turned his head, his gaze as cold as ice. "You had your cousin assault her?"Ginevra froze, then laughed. "Oh, come on. My cousin's been single for so many years. Isn't it normal for him to want a woman? The ones outside aren't clean, but Ms. Vitale was at least vetted by Adriano. She's safe to play with."Before she could finish, a hand closed around her throat. "Who gave you permission to touch her?"Luca's entire body trembled. He had promised he would never let Serena experience that kind of violation again, yet all the harm that followed had come from him.Ginevra was frightened by the look in his eyes, but she quickly r
