The morning sun bathed the city of Milan in a soft, golden light as Alessandro’s black SUV pulled up in front of the towering SKYE TECH headquarters.

A gentle breeze stirred the company banners that hung proudly at the entrance.

Inside, the lobby buzzed with excitement.

It had been five long years since Alessandro Amato had walked through those doors — five years since he stepped back from the spotlight to rebuild his shattered life after betrayal and heartbreak.

Now, he was back.

As soon as he stepped inside, the employees, dressed sharply in their suits and blazers, instinctively gathered, forming a line down the polished marble corridor.

A hush fell over them as they caught sight of him.

"Good morning, sir," one of the older executives said first, his voice thick with emotion. "It’s been five years… and if I may say — you’re looking better than ever."

A soft wave of laughter rippled among the group, warm and genuine.

Alessandro offered a rare smile — a small curve of his lips that

  • Secret Wife Of The Billionaire   In the Silence I stay strong

    The hospital walls were too white. Too quiet. The kind of sterile quiet that didn’t match the chaos pulsing inside Antonia’s chest. She sat stiffly by Alessandro’s bedside, her hands clutching his motionless one, her face pale but unreadable. The heart monitor’s steady beep was the only sign that he was still with her — somewhere behind the curtain of unconsciousness, somewhere she couldn’t reach.Alessandro had been in a coma for three Months.Three Months since he’d thrown himself in front of the bullet meant for her.Three Months since she’d held his blood-soaked body in her arms, screaming for help, praying to any god that would listen.Now, it was just her.Her and the silence.But the silence didn’t scare her anymore. What scared her was the thought of her sons growing up without the man who’d loved them so fiercely, who’d bled to protect them. What scared her was forgetting the warmth of his voice, the shade of blue his eyes turned when he smiled at her, the way he whispered “M

  • Secret Wife Of The Billionaire   Her breaking point

    The silence after the last gunshot was deafening. Alessandro’s body lay motionless in Antonia’s trembling arms, blood soaking through his white shirt like an ominous rose blooming across his chest.Antonia could barely see. Her vision blurred with tears as the reality of what just happened crashed over her like a tidal wave.“Alessandro, stay with me... please... please stay with me...”His eyes fluttered, barely open. A faint breath escaped his lips, but then his body slackened. Panic surged through her veins like fire.The twins were sobbing behind her, their little arms wrapped around each other. Their innocence—shattered.She looked at them through her tears and found her voice, low but firm.“Matteo, Antonio—listen to Mommy,” she said, her voice shaking. “Go upstairs. Go to your room. Hide under the bed. Don’t come out no matter what you hear. Do you understand me?”Antonio sniffled. “But what about Daddy?”“I’m going to help Daddy. But I need you to do this for me first.”Matteo

  • Secret Wife Of The Billionaire   When the blood betrayal

    The air reeked of gunpowder and betrayal.Alessandro’s hand gripped the pistol so tightly his knuckles turned white. His body, trained and battle-hardened, stood in front of his family like a fortress.Across the room, Federico grinned—madness gleaming in his eyes—while Beatrice stepped into the living room, heels clicking on the marble floor. Her gown shimmered like a snake’s skin, her lips curled in satisfaction as she lifted a small black pistol.“Why, Federico?” Alessandro growled, his voice hoarse with disbelief. “Why are you doing this?”Federico tilted his head, the grin never leaving his face.“Why?” he echoed. “Isn't it obvious? Because I can. Because for once, I want to destroy something you love as much as I loved you.”Antonia’s arms tightened protectively around Matteo and Antonio, her heart thudding in horror.Federico walked slowly toward them, ignoring the gun pointed at him.“I gave you everything,” Alessandro said, voice breaking. “I treated you like a brother—you we

    Dinner was unusually silent that night.The clinking of cutlery against porcelain echoed hollowly around the massive dining room, the air thick with words unsaid. Matteo and Antonio, still buzzing with the energy of childhood, babbled about their day at school, unaware of the heavy glances their parents exchanged over the table.Antonia barely tasted her food.Her hands trembled slightly as she wiped the twins' mouths, ruffling their hair when they laughed.After the meal, she tucked them into bed, smoothing the covers over their small bodies, pressing kisses to their foreheads."I love you," she whispered into their soft hair."Love you, Mommy," they murmured, already drifting into dreams.She closed the door quietly behind her, her heart pounding so hard it echoed in her ears.Tonight. It had to be tonight.No more waiting. No more hoping things would magically fix themselves.She couldn’t allow Alessandro’s secrets to put their children in danger again.She wouldn’t.Upstairs, Ales

  • Secret Wife Of The Billionaire   A Dangerous Alliance

    The old restaurant on the edge of town had long since fallen out of favor.Its once grand chandeliers now hung crooked, dust clinging to their crystals like parasites. Torn leather booths and cracked mirrors lined the dim interior. A single flickering lightbulb buzzed overhead, casting shadows that seemed to crawl across the walls.Beatrice tapped her manicured nails against the table, her lips curled in impatience.Where was he?Her phone buzzed, and she snatched it up."On my way," Federico's message read.Beatrice sneered. Typical.Always late. Always careless.She adjusted her sunglasses, even though the place was so dark she could barely see, and crossed her arms over her designer coat.A few minutes later, the door creaked open.Federico strode in, looking more like a ghost of the man he used to be — thin, his face gaunt, his eyes hollowed out by rage and obsession.He slid into the booth across from her without a word.For a long moment, they simply stared at each other.Two br

    The house was unusually quiet that evening.Dinner had gone by with the usual laughter and chaos — Matteo trying to sneak more dessert, Antonio fiddling with his new hearing aid and gadget — but underneath the surface, Antonia felt the tension simmering.She smiled, she laughed when she had to, but her mind was elsewhere.The packet of papers weighed heavily in her handbag, a burden she couldn’t forget even as she read bedtime stories to the twins.She tucked Matteo and Antonio into bed, smoothing their hair back with trembling hands."Mama," Matteo whispered, already half asleep. "Love you.""I love you too," she murmured, kissing his forehead.Antonio grinned at her, his hearing aid glinting in the dim nightlight."Night, Mama.""Good night, my love."She lingered at the door longer than she should have, her heart breaking as she watched them drift off to sleep.I'm doing this for you, she thought fiercely.Turning off the light, she stepped quietly into the hallway.Alessandro was

  • Secret Wife Of The Billionaire   First steps towards goodbye

    The next morning dawned grey and cold.Rain drizzled against the windows, the sky heavy with brooding clouds, but Antonia barely noticed.Her mind was elsewhere — caught between a thousand regrets and a brutal, necessary determination.Today would be the day she took the first real step.Toward freedom.Toward safety.Toward a life where Matteo and Antonio would never again have to suffer because of her mistakes.Because that’s what Alessandro had become, hadn't he?A mistake.A beautiful, tragic mistake that she had loved too fiercely, too blindly.She finished helping the twins get ready for school, tying their shoelaces, smoothing their hair.Matteo clutched her skirt, looking up at her with bright, worried eyes."Mama, you’re coming to pick us up today, right?" he asked.Antonia smiled, forcing cheer into her voice."Of course, sweetheart," she said, ruffling his hair."And you’ll be there for the soccer game tomorrow?" Antonio piped up, his new blue hearing aid flashing as he til

    The evening sun dipped low, casting a warm, golden glow over the sprawling Amato estate.Dinner had been a quiet, tense affair — the twins happily chattered about their day, oblivious to the storm brewing between their parents.Alessandro had sensed it the moment Antonia walked through the door.There was a new distance in her.Not anger — something colder, something final.After dinner, Antonia wiped Matteo’s and Antonio’s mouths gently, her touch lingering a second longer on Antonio’s ear aid, her heart tightening."Go get ready for bed, amore mio," she murmured, ruffling their hair.The boys ran upstairs, their laughter echoing down the marble halls.When she straightened, she found Alessandro watching her from across the dining room, his arms crossed, his eyes shadowed.She didn't flinch.She didn’t even pretend to smile.Without a word, she wiped her hands on a towel and motioned him to follow her into the private study.Once the door closed behind them, silence fell — thick and

  • Secret Wife Of The Billionaire   Broken Chains

    The morning was crisp, the sun barely climbing over the rooftops, casting a warm, golden light over the sleepy town.Antonia drove silently, her hands firm on the steering wheel, her mind heavy with the weight of the day ahead.The twins, seated in the backseat, chattered excitedly about their new gadgets, their innocence a balm to her aching heart.Antonio’s small voice floated forward from the backseat.“Mama, will you watch me today when I show the teacher my new ear aid?”Antonia forced a smile through the tightness in her chest.“Of course, amore,” she said warmly, glancing at him through the rearview mirror.He beamed, his bright blue ear aid glinting proudly under the morning light, matching the watch on his tiny wrist.Antonia's heart clenched.They deserve better. A safer life. A future unburdened by secrets and danger.As she pulled into the school’s parking lot, she turned to the boys, smoothing Matteo’s hair and adjusting Antonio’s jacket."Be good," she whispered, kissing
