Tempting The Devil’s Son Chapter 121
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

Gianna’s POVI swallowed hard.“Then why does it sound like you're afraid of her?”“Because you don't understand what she's capable of.”“Then make me understand, Roman!”I was tired of half-truths. I was tired of being the woman he kissed in private but kept in the dark about the things that mattered. I wanted to know who Viola was, what she had done, and why the mention of her name could turn the man standing before me into someone I barely recognized.Roman opened his mouth, but before he could answer, the door burst open.Luca strode into the room, his expression so serious that I immediately turned toward him.“She's bleeding, boss.”My heart dropped.“Who's bleeding?” He asked, rushing toward Luca.For one terrible second, I forgot that I was angry with him. I forgot that I had been planning to leave him. All I could think about was the possibility that someone was hurt.Roman turned sharply toward Luca.“Who?”“Raina,” Luca answered. “Damian is waiting outside. He said her fat

Gianna’s POV“I heard you right and clear, Gianna,” Roman said, his voice low and dangerous. “But the dead cannot rise again. The living…”“But the living what, Roman?”The words escaped me before he could finish, and I laughed bitterly because I was tired of standing in front of this man and feeling like I knew nothing about him.“Who are you, really?” I demanded, blinking back the tears burning behind my eyes. “Some days, I think I know you, even if it is just a little, and then you turn around and give me more reasons to doubt everything.”“Every time I think I understand you, I discover something else. So tell me, Roman, who the hell are you?”His jaw tightened.“Gianna, repeat what you just said about Viola.”“Are you even listening to me?”“Of course, I am.”He moved slowly toward me, closing the space between us until my body remembered what my heart was desperately trying to forget. This was the same man whose arms had made me feel safe, whose voice could calm me even when t

Gianna’s POVVivianne held up a dress against my body.“This one.”I barely looked at it.“Fine.”She narrowed her eyes. “You'd better hope this man is worth all this trouble.”I picked up my phone and stared at Roman's name.“He is,” I whispered.And that was what scared me most.Because I wasn't just afraid of losing Roman Bellini anymore.I was afraid that by the time I finally told him everything, I would discover that I had already lost him.My hair fell beautifully around my shoulders, and my makeup made my tired eyes look less obvious.“You look gorgeous,” Vivianne said, standing behind me. “Now go and fix whatever mess you made with your man.”“He's not my man.”She gave me a look.“Right. And I'm the president.”I rolled my eyes, grabbed my bag, and left before she could say anything else.The entire drive to the Bellini estate, my stomach remained tight with fear. I had called Roman several times, and he hadn't answered a single call. I couldn't stop wondering whether he wa
Tempting The Devil’s Son Chapter 116
Gianna’s POVI stood in the middle of my childhood bedroom, staring at the half-empty wardrobe while my mother folded the last few clothes I had decided to take with me. I should have been excited. I had my own house now, a place where I could live without asking anyone for permission.But all I could think about was Roman.His face kept appearing in my mind, followed by the sound of my own voice calling him a killer. I still couldn't believe those words had come out of my mouth. I had hurt him without even understanding why I had said them, and the worst part was that he hadn't even tried to defend himself.He had only looked at me.And somehow, that had hurt more.“Are you sure about this, Gianna?” my father asked from the doorway.I turned to him. “About what?”“Moving out. Starting a new life away from us.” He paused, studying my face. “Is someone making you do this? Is anyone forcing you to leave?”I frowned. “Dad, what are you talking about? Nobody is forcing me to do anything
