Elowen

"Okay," Caroline said softly, her voice steady despite the shock that must have been coursing through her. "Okay, El, but why? What happened? You need to tell me why."

I shook my head frantically, unable to put into words the humiliation and the pain and the way I'd been passed around like I was nothing, unable to explain how thoroughly I'd been broken by three men who were supposed to care about me.

"I can't," I whispered, my voice cracking. "I can't talk about it, Carl, I j

    Chapter 254Elowen"I want to make love in the garden," I said, turning to face them fully.Their eyes widened."Tonight?" Matteo asked carefully."Right now," I confirmed. "Under the stars. All three of us. I want to feel alive. I want to celebrate everything we have. I want..." I stopped, feeling my cheeks heat. "I want both of you. Together. Outside where everything feels infinite."Kian's eyes darkened immediately. "Elowen...""Please," I said. "I know it sounds crazy. But I need this. I need to feel connected to you both. To this life we're building. And I want it under the open sky."They looked at each other, having one of their silent conversations."You'll catch a cold," Matteo said finally. "You're pregnant. You just recovered from hypothermia. We're not risking your health...""Then we'll bring blankets. We'll...""How about this," Kian interrupted. "You go take a bath. Get yourself ready. Put on something that makes you feel beautiful. And we'll take care of the rest.""Bu

    Chapter 253Elowen Guests started arriving at seven.Alessandro came with Marco, bringing wine and his easy laugh. A few of Matteo's business partners arrived with their spouses. Kian's colleague from his law firm. The house filled with conversation and laughter. Giuliana and Marco appointed themselves as unofficial hosts, showing people around and making sure everyone had drinks.I was talking with one of Matteo's associates' wives when I heard the doorbell ring."I'll get it," Giuliana announced, already running to the door.I turned back to my conversation, only half paying attention as I heard the door open.Then I heard Giuliana's voice. "Hi! Welcome! Mama, more people are here!"I excused myself and turned toward the entrance hall.And froze.Standing in my doorway, looking uncertain and hopeful and terrified all at once, were two people I never thought I'd see again.Caroline and Damien.Caroline's eyes found mine across the room."Hi, El," she said softly.The room tilted.

    Chapter 252ElowenMatteo ran a hand through his hair. "It's not... we were going to tell you. Eventually. We just didn't want to upset you while you were recovering.""Matteo." My voice was dangerously quiet. "What. Are. You. Hiding?"Kian was the one who finally spoke."We know who leaked the video," he said quietly."We've known for a few days," Matteo added, his voice careful. "We were waiting for the right time to tell you. Waiting until...""Who was it?" I interrupted, my voice sharper than I intended. "Who did this to us?"They exchanged another one of those looks."Tell me," I said. "Now."Kian took a breath. "It was my ex-fiancée. And... Adrian." I scoffed. Of course it'll be Adrain, but then...I stared at him. "Your... what?""They worked together," Matteo explained. "Adrian manipulated her. Convinced her that posting the videos would clear his name, make him look like the victim instead of the abuser. He knew where Kian kept the files. He'd seen them once when he was at K

    Chapter 251ElowenThe next few days passed in a blur of rest, food, and Giuliana's constant chatter about the baby.Dr. Ferraro came by to check on me personally, declaring that I was recovering well but needed to continue taking it easy. He also examined Giuliana and confirmed what we already knew—the treatment was working better than anyone had hoped."Whatever you're doing," he said with a knowing smile, "keep doing it. She's thriving."What we were doing was being a family.Real family dinners. Bedtime stories with all four of us piled on Giuliana's bed. Morning coffee while watching her and Marco play in the garden.But there was one thing that was becoming increasingly obvious.The sleeping arrangements weren't working.I'd been sleeping in my old room—the one I'd used when I first arrived. Matteo and Kian were in their own separate rooms.And every night, I lay awake, feeling the wrongness of it.We were supposed to be together. All of us.On the fourth night home, I couldn't

    Chapter 250Elowen Giuliana's room was exactly as I remembered it. Soft pink walls. Stuffed animals everywhere. The nightlight shaped like a moon.Matteo tucked her into bed while I settled into the chair beside her."You're really staying?" she asked, her eyes already drooping."I'm really staying.""Promise?""I promise.""Good." She reached for my hand. "Because I have something important to tell you when I wake up.""Oh? What is it?""It's a secret. But it's a good secret. The best secret." She yawned again. "You'll see."Within minutes, she was asleep, her hand still holding mine.Matteo and Kian stood in the doorway, watching us."I'll stay with her," I said quietly. "You two should rest too. You've been awake for two days straight.""So have you," Kian pointed out."I slept in the hospital.""Barely.""I'm fine. Go. I'll wake you if anything changes."They hesitated but eventually left, closing the door softly behind them.I sat there, watching Giuliana sleep, my hand in hers,

    Chapter 249ElowenThe next morning came with sunlight streaming through the hospital window and the smell of terrible coffee.Dr. Chen arrived early, running through one final round of tests. Blood pressure, temperature, checking the baby's heartbeat on the ultrasound machine she wheeled in."Everything looks good," she said, smiling as she handed me the discharge papers. "But I want you on strict bed rest for the next week. No stress. Plenty of fluids. And I'm prescribing prenatal vitamins. You're severely malnourished, and we need to get your levels up for the baby's sake.""I'll make sure she follows orders," Matteo said from his position by the window."I'm sure you will." Dr. Chen looked between the three of us... me in the bed, Matteo by the window, Kian in the chair he'd apparently slept in all night. "It's good that she has support. Recovery from something like this isn't just physical. Make sure she's taking care of her mental health too.""We will," Kian said.After she le

    Chapter 132Elowen Adrian and Kian had successfully painted me as mentally unstable, had used my own vulnerability from years ago as a weapon, had delayed my freedom by at least another month.I sat there as the courtroom emptied, unable to move, unable to process what had just happened."Elowen,"
