ELENA

I let out an exasperated breath and stared at Alessia through my phone.

Tonight was the party Papà had planned, and all the clothes I had picked didn’t seem to fit in. There was always something wrong with them,either I didn’t like the way I looked in them, or they weren’t exactly what I was going for.

At this point, I was done and ready to call it a night. But knowing who Papà is, he would come here and drag me out. God forbid his daughter doesn’t attend the party he threw.

“I’ve told you, all these are amazing,” Alessia said, equally frustrated by my indecisiveness.

We’d been at this for close to an hour, and I knew I should free her.

“You know you don’t have to do this with me,” I said, picking up the phone. Her face covered my whole screen.

Behind her, I could see the dress she had picked out. She had bought it in Paris.

“I know,” she mumbled, “but I still want to be here. You need to be sure Papà doesn’t chase you back home to change,” she joked, but I knew she was serious.

    ELENAI tried not to focus on Alessandro carrying his child, but it was hard. I should listen to him, but my head was wrapped in that instant he extended his hands for her.It was out of impulse, I know, but he could have stopped himself.But he didn’t.Aurora was smiling now at him, her hands playing with his hair as he talked.How can I concentrate when he looks so good carrying her?I had watched him and Papà by my bedroom window. I knew he was pissing Papà off by the many stares Papà gave him.When I saw Papà leave, I immediately texted Alessia to tell her it was done.Tell Alessandro I owe him one, she replied back.I rolled my eyes at the text. She owes him one, but I owe him three.Right then, Aurora, who has given me enough free time, began to cry. I breastfed her, changed her out of her clothes, and took her out with me.I would have left her with Rosa, but I didn’t. I wanted Alessandro to see his daughter, in case he has forgotten.I guess that worked, because I am rewarded

    ALESSANDRO I was going to give Lorenzo so much shit when he returned. He was out on Vacation that was the reason he didn’t want to have a drink with me.Right now, I just needed to figure out how to keep Mr. Moretti out.Lorenzo didn’t even try hiding his forbidden relationship with Alessia. I had caught him several times smiling at a text he received. I decided I wouldn’t bring it up to him or at least tell him how dangerous what he was doing was.Partly because who he loves is none of my business as long as she treats him right. He’s been through a lot, and the last thing he needs is someone adding to it.I wasn’t sure Alessia was the one. Sure, I married the sister, which is the main reason I was skeptical. But seeing how she reacted the day Lorenzo was shot, all my doubts were cleared. And also because Mr. Moretti doesn’t have the right to tell his daughters who to love regardless of whether he’s their father.I’m all for forbidden love… until it gets busted. But we’ll get there

    ELENAI was going to kill Alessia for putting me in this position.Alessia and I had been texting back and forth. They had successfully landed in France, and she’d been showing me the different places they had visited. It was like I was there with them.I was happy living through her until she dropped a message that spoiled my mood.Aurora was sleeping beside me, she’d been sleeping a lot today, which had given me a lot of time to text with Alessia.Alessia: “Papà said he’s coming.”I read the text again, wishing it said something different.Me: Coming to where? I replied.Alessia: To your place. I told him you were struggling a bit and that’s why you needed me to stay with you for a week. He said you have staff that can help you. I told him you demanded it had to be me.Perfect.Me: Now what do you expect me to do? I shot back.Alessia: You have to stop him, Lena. If he comes there and doesn’t see me, we’ll be in so much trouble. If he finds out about Lorenzo and me, he’s going to ki

    ALESSANDROFor the past few days, Elena had been looking better than she had been. The day out she had with my sister and hers must have helped a lot. She’s been smiling more, talking with Rosa in the kitchen. I shouldn’t notice these things, but I do. I notice everything she does.I sat in my home office, going over the file Matteo had sent me. Victor was back in town. He disappeared after the day Elena had gone for the signing event in New York, but now he’s back, and I know it’s not for a good cause. I have my men on the lookout in case he tries to go near people close to me.The bodyguards I assigned to Elena are doing a pretty good job, she hasn’t noticed them. If she had, she would’ve stormed into my office to confront me. I wonder if that would have been better. At least that would’ve given me an opportunity to talk to her.The silence she’s been walking around me with is unsettling.When she couldn’t shut up, I wished she would.Now that she finally has, I want her to start ta

    ELENAI decided to ignore the message until I got home, partly because I knew what it was about, and it wasn’t a serious issue.I drove out of the parking lot. The once sunny weather was gloomy now, and I should get home before the rain started.I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw Alessandro’s car wasn’t in the driveway.“Welcome back,” Rosa greeted, with a smiling Aurora in her arms.Aurora was getting less cranky by the day, and I was grateful for that.“How are you, my little angel?” I took the baby from Rosa, and she carried the bags for me.I entered the living room to see a scowling Alessia propped on the couch.“You’re here,” I said dryly.A crease formed between her brows. “You weren’t replying to me. Luckily I was around the area.”“I was driving. I was going to call when I got home.”Her forehead smoothed as she relaxed. “Give her to me. Go get changed, then we’ll talk.”I handed a bubbly Aurora to her and went upstairs to change into more comfortable clothes.I ripped my c
