THE BILLIONAIRE'S VENGEANCE: Pregnant With Twins 160
Time in a hospital waiting room isn't measured in minutes, but in interrupted heartbeats. Alessandro stood with a tight jaw and his gaze fixed on the swinging doors of the operating room. Beside him, Marcus was the living image of collapse; the man who could dismantle corporations with a phone call was now reduced to a bundle of nerves, head in hands and silence weighing on him like a concrete slab.Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the hallway's calm. It was Audrey. She had called Olivia in the middle of the night to come over and look after the children, incapable of sitting idly while her best friends fought the most important battle of their lives. Seeing her, Alessandro stepped forward and received her in an embrace meant to instill a calm he himself could barely sustain."Any news?" she whispered, glancing sideways at a Marcus who hadn't even noticed her presence."They're still in there. The surgeon hasn't come out," the dark-haired man replied in a grave voice.Sh

The second hand of the wall clock in the master suite seemed to hammer against the sepulchral silence of dawn. Alessandro and Audrey had finally slipped between the thread sheets, sharing that collective sigh of parents who know the house is finally sleeping. He had just wrapped his arm around her, drawing her to his chest in that quiet gesture of possession that had become their ritual, when the blast of a ringtone shattered the peace.Alessandro groaned, feeling across the nightstand until he found the device. Seeing the name on the screen, his eyebrows arched with a mixture of surprise and bad omen."It's Marcus," he whispered, his voice hoarse with sleep. "It's two in the morning.""Answer," Audrey said, sitting up immediately, her alert instinct igniting. "He only calls at this hour if the world is ending or if..."Alessandro didn't even get to put it on speaker when a muffled, frantic scream emerged from the earpiece, so loud the brunette could hear it perfectly."Alessandro!

The dawn light of that Monday filtered through the wide kitchen windows, bathing the rustic wooden table that was now the epicenter of the Di Giovanni family's life. It was no longer the frigid dining room of the early years; now it smelled of freshly brewed coffee, toasted bread, and that sweet cereal scent Maxwell insisted on eating every morning. The morning hustle was a chaotic yet perfectly tuned symphony that Alessandro and Audrey had learned to conduct with admirable patience.Alessandro, impeccable in a charcoal gray suit that accentuated his renowned architect's stature, was finishing reviewing blueprints on his tablet while, with his other hand, helping Matthew tie his school uniform tie. The ten-year-old boy imitated his father's posture with a seriousness that always managed to draw a smile from Audrey."Dad, do you think the new museum project will be ready for the winter gala?" Matthew asked with curiosity, adjusting his navy blue sweater."If the foundations are as stro

When it ended, they moved to the porch. The children, in their casual clothes already somewhat disheveled from play, lay down on the lawn to look at the stars with a telescope Marcus had given them. Audrey watched Alice finally sleeping in her lap and felt the circle was closed. She had her mother, her friends, her four children, and the man who changed everything for her.It was in that moment of calm when Marcus stood up and cleared his throat, exchanging a look loaded with meaning with his wife."Well, family, friends..." he began, leaving his glass on the wooden table. "Now that the little earthquakes are safe and Alice has given us a breather, Jen and I have something to share with everyone."Jennifer took Marcus's hand and, with a smile that lit up her face, looked at Audrey and then at Alessandro."It looks like the rehearsal we did four years ago paid off," Jennifer said softly. "We're going to expand the family census. I'm pregnant."A second of silence was broken by Hanna's

Four years later...The echo of children's laughter bounced off the walls of the grand hall, definitively shattering the solemnity that once characterized that space of high ceilings and cold marble. The Di Giovanni mansion, which in other times functioned as a monument to a wounded man's power and isolation, had finally transformed into a living, warm, and chaotic organism. Matthew and Emma, who at ten years old already walked with astounding confidence and a height beginning to rival the adults' shoulders, were finishing organizing the final details for that night's reception. Far from the stiffness of formal events that used to mark Alessandro's agenda, today the watchword was closeness and comfort.Both were dressed casually, reflecting the freedom that now reigned in their home. Matthew wore dark jeans and a navy blue knit sweater that gave him the air of a little intellectual, an image reinforced by his habit of adjusting his hair just like his father when he was focused. Emma,

A dinosaur shoe flying through the air was the definitive sign that the naptime truce was over. Marcus dodged it by centimeters, amazed that a seven-year-old had the aim of a sniper. The living room, which Alessandro always kept like a museum piece, now looked like the stage of a minute but unstoppable revolution."Matthew, dinosaurs don't fly toward Uncle Marcus's face!" Jennifer exclaimed, holding back laughter while carrying a Maxwell who, caught up in the chaos, waved his little hands enthusiastically.Marcus ran a hand through his hair, which no longer sported the morning's immaculate styling. He had a smudge of fingerpaint on his cheek and exhaustion was starting to weigh on him more than any quarter-end closing on the stock market. They had spent the entire day running around the garden, enduring a picnic interrupted by an open garden hose, and an art session that ended with more paint on the floor than on paper."I admit defeat," Marcus said, raising his hands in surrender whe
