Roman’s POV

The second those words tore from my throat, Franca lost it. She shoved past us, tears smearing her makeup, and bolted out the front entrance.

The door slammed against the frame with a violent crack. I stared at the empty space where she’d just been, a cold sneer tightening my jaw.

The hypocrisy of that woman was nauseating.

What right did she have to cry? She had spent the day stabbing her best friend in the back, yet the second the blood spilled onto her own dress, she played th

    Roman’s POVMy words came out cold and her brows drew together. “Yes. I meant it. What about it?”“I can make that happen now, if you're still willing to go.”“Wait, like now?” She stared at me. “Roman, why the rush? Tell me what happened. Is it my father?”“No. It's Charles.”Her expression changed immediately.“He has Gianna.”Raina went still, her arms tightening around the baby. “Gianna? Your girlfriend?”I hesitated for a moment before nodding.“Yes. My girlfriend.” The words felt strange in my mouth, not because they weren't true, but because I had no idea whether Gianna would still want to be called that after everything that had happened between us. “Charles is holding her hostage. I don't know where he's keeping her yet, but he called and demanded that I bring you and the baby to him.”“He wants both of you, and he believes I have no right to claim what isn't mine.”“Oh my God.”Raina covered her mouth, and tears immediately filled her eyes.“I'm so sorry, Roman. I never wan

    Gianna’s POVVoices.That was the first thing I heard when consciousness slowly returned to me. Two men were talking somewhere nearby, their voices low but heated enough to cut through the pounding in my head.“How are you damn sure she's the one? You can't just go around kidnapping people, Charles, for fuck's sake! Your brother is a detective!”“I don't care, Nathan. Now listen to me. I don't want to hurt her. I just want to get Raina back.”I tried to move, but something stopped me.My eyes flew open.I was tied to a chair, my wrists bound tightly behind my back, and a cloth gag was secured over my mouth. Panic shot through me as I struggled against the ropes, trying to make sense of where I was and how I had ended up there.Another kidnapping?Was this some kind of sick joke?“How jealous can you possibly be?” the second man demanded. “Raina is with another man who can take care of her. Why can't you leave her alone?”“No! No, you don't understand. Roman Bellini is not that man,

    Gianna’s POV“You see, all these years, I had to lay low.”Viola crossed her long legs and reached for the glass of wine sitting on the small table beside her. She swirled the red liquid slowly, watching it stain the sides of the glass before bringing it to her lips.“There were times I wanted to walk straight up to Roman and demand answers for what he did to me.”“There were nights I dreamed about standing in front of him and watching the expression on his face when he realized I was still alive.” Her lips twisted into a bitter smile. “But I couldn't. Not until I was ready.”I watched her carefully, trying to understand how a woman who had supposedly been dead for years could sit in front of me with so much hatred in her eyes and speak about Roman as though she still had a claim over him.“Did he tell you?” she suddenly asked.“Tell me what?”“That he tried to kill me?” Her voice sharpened. “That he killed my family, too?”My stomach tightened.I had heard pieces of Roman's past, b

    Gianna’s POVIt hurt that he had left.It hurt with a sharp, suffocating ache that squeezed my throat until I could barely draw breath. Worse than his absence was the crushing weight of knowing I was the reason he had walked out. I hated myself for it. I hated the cruel words I’d flung at him, but deep down, I felt like I hadn’t had a choice. Calling him a killer had been my desperate, messy defense mechanism, my only way to create a barrier between us and avoid him at all costs before he destroyed me completely.Yet, after he slammed that front door and left me alone, every wall I’d built began to crumble.I was lying to myself.During that entire frantic drive toward the Bellini estate, my stomach had remained tied in agonizing knots. My hand trembled against the steering wheel as I tried calling Roman, once, twice, several times. Every attempt went straight to voicemail, his silence heavy and deafening.I had left my place after Vivianne had convinced me desperately hoping to e

    Roman’s POVI looked up sharply.“What?”“I want to give her your name. You've helped me through everything, and I want her to carry something that reminds me of you.”I looked down at the baby in my arms, unable to answer immediately.I had helped Raina because I didn't want her to be hurt. I had protected her because I had promised I would.But I had never expected to become part of her child's life in this way.“You don't have to do that,” I finally said.Her smile faded a little.“You've done so much for me. I don't want to be a burden to you anymore.”I looked at Raina, then down at the sleeping baby in my arms.“You're not a burden to me, Raina,” I told her.She gave me a small smile, but I could see the sadness hiding behind it. She had been through enough, and the last thing I wanted was for her to believe she was nothing but a problem I had to solve.“Right, then I want to name her Ramona,” she said, glancing at the baby. “Obviously, I can't name her Roman. Imagine having two

    Roman’s POV“Can I see her first?”“No, sir. You cannot enter right now.”I stared at the nurse, wondering if she understood who she was talking to. I had spent the last few hours watching people run in and out of that room while Raina screamed in pain, and now someone wanted me to stand outside like I didn't have the right to know what was happening to her.“I fucking want to see her right now!”“Sir, she's being prepared for…”“Boss.”Luca's voice interrupted her. Before I could say another word, he stepped beside me, pulled the nurse to one side, and spoke quietly to her. I had no idea what he told her, but after a few seconds, she nodded and returned to me.“You can go in, sir, but please don't interfere with the doctors.”I didn't bother answering. I pushed past her and entered the room.The first thing I heard was Raina crying.The second thing I noticed was how pale she looked.She was lying on the bed, her hair stuck to her sweaty forehead, and her fingers were gripping the
