Chapter 92: Alessandro

I sat in my office until three in the morning, staring at the marriage contract my lawyers had drafted.

Clean.

Professional.

Exactly what Victoria had requested.

Everything was spelled out in black and white—the temporary nature of our arrangement, financial obligations, custody considerations, and the predetermined divorce date.

It read like a business merger.

Cold.

Calculated.

Nothing like the love story I’d imagined we were writing.

But if this was what Victoria needed to feel safe helping me, then this was what she’d get.

I signed my name at the bottom of each page, the pen scratching against paper the only sound in the silent penthouse.

Aria was asleep down the hall, blissfully unaware that her father was about to enter a marriage designed to end.

The irony wasn’t lost on me.

I was getting married to keep my daughter.

And potentially losing the woman I loved in the process.

Something had changed Victoria’s mind.

Three days ago, she’d looked at me across that restaurant table with

    The elevator ride to Alessandro’s penthouse felt different this time.Before, I’d been a guest.Now I was… what?A tenant with an expiration date?A temporary wife?Someone playing house until the custody hearing was over?The boxes containing my belongings were already lined up in the foyer when we walked in.Efficient.Professional.Like everything else about our arrangement.“Mrs. Ciro organized everything while we were at the ceremony,” Alessandro explained, shifting a sleeping Aria in his arms.Mrs. Ciro.His housekeeper who would now be our housekeeper.At least for six months.“That was thoughtful of her.”“She’s good at anticipating needs.”He paused, studying my face.“Your room is down the hall. Second door on the right. I had Mrs. Ciro set it up with some basics, but obviously, you’ll want to arrange your things however feels comfortable.”My room.Not our room.The distinction was clear, even though we both knew it.“Thank you.”“Aria’s room is across the hall from yours,

    I stood at my window, watching the sun rise over Rome on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life.Instead, I felt hollow.Empty.Like I was watching someone else’s life unfold from behind glass.My wedding day.The words should have filled me with joy, anticipation, and nervous excitement.Instead, they sat in my chest like stones.Alessandro and I hadn’t spoken properly since that awful meeting at the café.Our interactions had been reduced to polite texts about logistics.Ceremony time: 2 PM.Dress size: confirmed with designer.Witness arrangements: handled.Everything is planned with the efficiency of a business merger.Which, I suppose, was exactly what this was.I hadn’t told Giulia or Ace.How could I?How do you explain to your closest friends that you’re getting married to help a man win a custody battle, then divorcing him six months later?They’d think I’d lost my mind.They’d probably be right.My phone buzzed with a text from Giulia.*Taking a long lunch today

    The Barolo was perfectly aged, smooth, and rich as it slid down my throat.Fitting, since I was celebrating.My terrace overlooked the Tuscan hills, golden in the late afternoon sun.Everything was peaceful.Serene.The perfect setting for savoring a victory three years in the making.Victoria had looked so pale when I’d left her apartment.So shaken by the photographs and documents I’d carefully curated.The fear in her eyes had been everything I’d hoped for.Sweet, naive Victoria who thought she could waltz into Alessandro’s life and play happy family with my daughter.She had no idea what kind of world she was stepping into.Or what kind of woman she was crossing.The photographs had been real, of course.Alessandro’s business dealings weren’t exactly pristine.You didn’t build an empire like his through construction contracts alone.But I’d been careful about what I’d shown her.Nothing that would implicate me or my family’s operations.Nothing that would bring unwanted attention

    I ordered my third espresso in two hours, though my hands were already shaking from caffeine and nerves.The coffee shop near the gallery had become my refuge for the past three days.Ever since the mysterious woman had left that envelope on my table.Ever since my world had tilted sideways.I’d barely slept.Barely eaten.The photos and documents were still spread across my dining table at home, taunting me with questions I wasn’t sure I wanted answered.But one thing had become crystal clear through all my sleepless nights.Aria.That sweet little girl who deserved stability and love and a father who would protect her from whatever darkness might exist in his world.Whatever Alessandro might or might not be involved in, he loved his daughter.That much I was certain of.And if marrying me could help him keep her, then maybe the rest didn’t matter.Maybe.I’d called him an hour ago, asking to meet here instead of at my apartment or his penthouse.Neutral territory.Somewhere public w

    I stood at my kitchen counter, staring at the sandwich I’d been trying to make for the past ten minutes.My hands wouldn’t stop shaking.Twenty-four hours since I’d offered to marry Alessandro, and I still couldn’t quite believe the words had come out of my mouth.Marriage.To a man I’d known for three weeks.For a custody battle, I barely understood.What the hell was wrong with me?I’d never been impulsive.Never been the kind of woman who made life-changing decisions based on feelings.But something about Alessandro and Aria had turned me into someone I didn’t recognize.Someone who was apparently willing to completely upend her life for love.Was it love?It felt like love.The way my heart raced when I thought about him.The way Aria’s smile could make my entire day better.The way the three of us together felt like the missing piece of a puzzle I hadn’t known was incomplete.But how could I be sure after such a short time?And how was I supposed to tell Giulia and Ace that I was
