Tragic Love

Bias

Hypocrisy

Winning Back the Wife

Regret

On Christmas Eve, my husband, Luca Moretti, hosts a dinner at his family estate. As he cuts my baked apple pie for me, a friend sitting beside him quietly asks in Valdorian, "Elena is due any day now. Are you really flying to Besselton tonight to be with her? Victoria is about to give birth soon, too." Luca doesn't look up. "Nico took a bullet for me. Elena and her baby are all he has left in this world. I promised Nico I'd take care of them." "What about Victoria?" Luca places the sliced apple pie in front of me. "I've arranged for doctors and nurses to look after her. She'll be fine here. Elena has lost Nico. I need to be there for her when the baby is born." I stare at the apple pie on my plate without touching it. Luca doesn't know that before I married him, I spent three years working as a Valdorian simultaneous interpreter in Melen. He thinks I'm just an ordinary woman with no family to rely on but him. But he has no idea I'm the sole heiress to the Bellardi family. My parents had opposed our marriage, but I insisted on marrying Luca anyway. I even refused to answer their calls. Now, I set down my fork and stand up. "It's too stuffy here. I'm heading back." This time, I have no intention of waiting for Luca to come home.

Chapter 1
I reached the door and was about to ask a butler to bring me my coat when my husband, Luca Moretti, caught up with me."What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" he asked."It's nothing. I'm just tired and want to lie down for a while," I replied.Luca let out a sigh of relief, took my coat, and helped me put it on."The elders are still waiting for us to cut the Christmas cake together. If you wanted to leave, you should have told me first."The door opened, and a gush of cold air rushed inside.Luca took off his scarf and wrapped it around my neck. Then he told the guards to bring the car around to the entrance.Luca's friend, Marco Gallo, followed us. Luca turned to him and spoke in Valdorian."I've arranged the doctors and nurses for her, but she still insists on having me with her. See? I haven't even left, and she's already upset."Elena would never behave like this. Whenever she called, she was afraid of interrupting my work."I lowered my head and pulled my hair free fro

As we neared the hospital, I began to feel waves of tightness in my belly.After examining me, the doctor told me to stay for observation.Mom called and said she and Dad were already on their way. They had also contacted a local medical team to take over my care."Once you get there, focus on delivering the baby. Leave the rest to us," Mom said.I murmured my agreement.As soon as I hung up, Luca suddenly walked in. "I still have some time before my flight, so I thought I'd come and keep you company. Where are you going?"He glanced at my phone."My mom arranged for me to go to another hospital," I replied."Have you contacted your family?"I nodded and set my phone on the nightstand.Luca sat beside the bed and took my hand."Are you upset that I'm not staying tonight?""What if I go into labor tonight? Would you still leave me here alone?"His grip tightened slightly. "What are the odds of that happening? I'll be back soon.""What if the baby can't wait until you get b

When the call connected, I heard Luca's voice. He was nearby, telling someone to check the luggage."Rosa, check her things one more time. Make sure nothing's missing."The doctor moved somewhere quieter. "Mrs. Moretti, are you feeling any discomfort right now?""Are the nurses going with you, too?" I asked."Yes. They said other arrangements had already been made for you."I asked if he could send me the updated arrangements.A revised appointment notice appeared on my screen a moment later.The staff assigned to my delivery, the postpartum care services, and even the supplies I had chosen had all been reassigned to Elena.I had always thought Luca simply couldn't be there for me, but he had taken away everyone who had promised to stay by my side, too.The call was still connected when I heard Luca urging people to board in the distance."Victoria has people looking after her. Take care of Elena first."The doctor paused for a moment. "Mrs. Moretti, if you didn't agree to t

I gripped the bed rail and looked at Lorenzo."I want to transfer to another hospital. Please get me out of here."Lorenzo nodded and asked Chiara to record my request. Then the two of them continued pushing my bed.A man in a suit hurried over and blocked their way."Hold on. I'm a hospital administrator. We haven't cleared things with the people at the exit yet."Lorenzo kept hold of the bed. "The ambulance is downstairs, and she's still bleeding. How long do you expect us to wait?"The hospital administrator glanced at Roberto. "Have the ambulance go around to the back entrance. Don't let everyone crowd this area.""There are steps at the back entrance. We can't get the hospital bed down them," Chiara said.After she spoke, Roberto picked up his phone again and stepped aside to discuss it with someone.Blood kept pouring out beneath me, and my grip on the bed rail grew weaker.Lorenzo bent down to examine me and told everyone nearby to move back. Then he urged Chiara to up

After surgery, I was taken to the intensive care unit.Mom later told me that shortly after I was admitted, Roberto showed up at the hospital.He held up his phone and demanded that the hospital let him into the surgical ward."Mr. Moretti sent me to get Mrs. Moretti. If something happens to her, who's going to take responsibility?"Dad stepped in front of him. "When they begged you to let her through, why didn't you ask that?"Hospital security stepped in and escorted Roberto away from the entrance. They required him to stay and explain why he had blocked my transfer.Dad's lawyer had already contacted the first hospital. The lawyer, Matteo Fontana, demanded that they preserve the security footage, entry and exit records, and all communications related to my transfer.The administrator involved was removed, and the Moretti family's staff were ordered to leave the ward.Roberto was still making calls when Matteo held out his business card."I'm the Bellardi family's attorney

Dad hung up and set his phone aside.That was when I learned that the Moretti family needed to work with Bellardi Group to secure several shipping routes they were pursuing.To land the deal, Luca had already rented warehouses and bought more equipment. He had been waiting for the contract to be signed so he could expand the shipping business.He had never told me about the deal.He also had no idea that the Mr. Bellardi he had been so eager to meet was my dad, the man who had once urged me not to marry Luca. I had hung up on Dad back then.When Matteo came in, Mom propped up my pillow."I want a divorce," I said.Matteo pulled up a chair and asked about the assets in my name and the property we had acquired during our marriage.I told him everything I knew, one thing at a time."He wanted to give me that house by the sea, but I never signed the papers. I've already had his people send it back to him."Matteo made a note of it. "Anything else?"I looked at the phone in Mom's

By the time Luca reached the funeral home, Matteo was already waiting for him. Luca rushed into the lobby before he had even put on his coat properly."Where's Victoria?" he asked.Matteo didn't answer and just stepped aside.Two urns sat on the table—one large and one small.Luca stopped in the doorway. "What is that?""The Bellardi family asked me to give these to you."Luca shook his head and took a step back. "I asked where Victoria is. Take me to her.""You're too late."Luca suddenly grabbed Matteo by the collar. "Who gave you the right to move her? I'm her husband! I wasn't even back yet!"A nearby bodyguard pried Luca's hand away and stepped in front of the table.Matteo straightened his collar and placed a record in front of him."Where were you when Victoria needed you to come back?"The record showed when the doctor had requested a transfer.It also listed when the ambulance arrived, when Roberto refused to let it through, and when Luca ordered them to keep

Over the next few days, one company after another under Luca's name ground to a halt.After Bellardi Group pulled out of the deal, it left all of Luca's money tied up in warehouses and equipment. His creditors refused to wait any longer.His family stripped him of his authority to approve account transactions and command security.Luca made call after call, but as soon as he named the amount he needed to borrow, the other person began making excuses.He then called Marco, who was at the Christmas dinner. Luca hoped Marco could contact Dad on his behalf.But Marco refused. "I asked you that night what would happen to Victoria."Luca gripped his phone and said nothing.Marco continued, "You said someone would look after her and nothing would happen. What am I supposed to say to Enzo now?"The call ended.Luca returned to the house by the sea and placed the two urns in the nursery.The cradle was still empty, with a stack of unopened storybooks beside it.He sat in an armchair,

Even after Luca was taken into custody, he still had his lawyer investigate the record.It was a dispatch record for a vehicle transporting a newborn on the night I was sent to the other hospital.There was no name, but the timing matched.Luca's lawyer brought in a copy. Luca read it once, then leaned closer to check the date."This vehicle picked up a baby, right?" he asked."All we can confirm so far is that it was dispatched," the lawyer replied."Then keep looking into it. The baby might be alive, and Victoria might…"Luca clenched the paper and suddenly looked up."Enzo Bellardi has the power to hide people. He must be hiding them!"The lawyer told Luca to sit down, but he leaned forward impatiently."Contact the Bellardi family's lawyer for me. I need to see him."When the news reached me, I was at Matilde's follow-up appointment.The doctor said she was recovering well. I looked down and held her tiny hand. She moved her fingers and grasped mine.Back in the hospit

A year later, Luca was sentenced.To lessen his own punishment, Roberto handed over the original messages on his phone. He also revealed how he had handled Luca's shipping accounts.The investigation traced those accounts and uncovered falsified records and misappropriated project funds.The Moretti family refused to clean up Luca's mess any longer and handed over the related financial records.The hospital security footage, medical staff testimony, and Luca's own orders were all included in the case file.In the end, Luca was sentenced to life in prison for the harm caused by blocking emergency care, his assault on Elena, and his proven financial crimes.Meanwhile, Roberto was sentenced to eight years in prison.The companies under Luca's name had already gone bankrupt. His properties and other assets were sold off to pay his debts and compensation.The house by the sea had a new owner too. Elena never got the place she wanted.No one paid Elena's outstanding private care fee
