I left the office earlier than usual since there wasn’t much to do. With a light workload, I decided to head home.

Then I remembered Violet. She’d asked me to come over, even though she’d been back home for a while now. She had security guards keeping an eye on her, but I wasn’t sure if they were really needed anymore, now that Ronan was out of the picture.

“Let’s go to Papa’s house,” I told Renzo as we pulled out of the parking lot.

Honestly, I hadn’t visited my father in ages—not even when I thought Violet was dead. I knew he’d probably blame me for everything that had happened, and honestly, I thought he might even wish I was the one who had died instead.

    Marco and I walked into my office, the smell of lunch hanging in the air. It was obvious he hadn’t eaten yet—he was waiting for me. I didn’t even remember him saying anything about lunch plans."Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?" I asked, calm and straightforward. I had nothing to feel guilty about."Answer me first. Who were you with at the café?" he shot back, repeating the same question from earlier.I let out a sigh. Renzo must’ve said something. He always does this—any time I talk to a guy, even casually, he runs to Marco like it’s some big deal. Like every man around me is a threat."I want to hear it from you," Marco said, walking over to my desk and easi

    When I finally remembered that name, my eyes went wide, a mix of surprise and worry rushing through me. My mouth went dry, and I just froze for a second.Hudson. He was a classmate from college, always around, always somehow in my orbit since the moment I stepped onto campus. Sophia and Alec knew him, but it was me he seemed to follow, all the way from freshman year until I graduated. Maybe even after I left. Then, out of nowhere, he and his family disappeared, leaving no real explanation.Back in college, I had guys interested in me, but my focus was on getting my father's approval, so I didn't really pay attention. Hudson was the "almost-boyfriend" suitor that I have. If things had been different, I probably would've said yes to him. But one day, after a cut on my lip, caused by my father, I just couldn’t face him. I was too

    As I walked back home feeling down, I made my way straight to the room Marco and I shared. The weight of disappointment was heavy on me, and I just needed to be somewhere familiar. I stepped into the bathroom, hoping to wash away the emotional mess of the day. The mention of spotting by Aunt Mildred had sparked a tiny hope in me, so I decided to take a pregnancy test. But, when I saw the result, it crushed my hopes—no baby, I’m not pregnant yet.Even though I knew the truth, I couldn’t shake the sting of disappointment. The well-meaning words from everyone, telling me there’s still a chance, didn’t help much. They saw how upset I was earlier and were trying to comfort me. But all I could do was sigh and sink into the bed, feeling unmotivated and drained.I sat there, lost in my own thoughts, when I heard

    I glanced around and saw the staff were nowhere near us—no one would notice what my foot was up to under the table. Dessert had just arrived, and I’d specifically asked for ice cream because that’s exactly what I wanted.A grin spread across my face when I realized Marco had shifted in his seat to give my foot more room between his thighs. I felt him respond to my little game, and it was all because of me.“It’s your fault,” he mouthed when he caught me watching him. I just smiled back. Scooping up a bit of melting ice cream, I let it drip slowly off my spoon, making sure Marco got the full show.I sensually licked the ice cream from the spoon, eyes locked on his. I noticed his adam’s apple bobbing—he was definitely feeling it.

    I couldn’t help but grin when I looked at Marco. It wasn’t just the bracelet he’d given me that had me so happy, but the meaning behind it. Every gift had a deeper significance, showing how sentimental he really was—a quality I absolutely adored about him.With a playful smirk, he motioned for me to follow him, and we walked through the house with my laughter filling the space. As soon as I saw the familiar hallway that led to my room, I couldn’t help but laugh even more.Marco swung the door open, and my smile grew wider with anticipation. I plopped down on the bed while he knelt beside me, giving me that adorable look that made my heart melt.I bit my lip, feeling a mix of excitement and curiosity. There was something unspoken between us, and

    At noon, I tried calling Marco, hoping he might have some free time. After a few tries, he finally picked up."Maddie," he said, greeting me."Hey Marco, do you know when you'll be back home?" I asked, eager to find out. I wanted to go to Aunt Aurora's wake at the funeral chapel. Since Carson was still a family friend, I felt it was important to show my support and make sure he was doing okay.I didn’t want to go there by myself, especially knowing how Marco can be. If he wasn’t too busy, I was hoping he’d come with me."Sometime around 6 pm, why?" Marco asked."I saw in the paper this morning that Carson’s mom passed away," I said. "I thought it would be nice to go. I just wanted to see if you're free tonight or if you’ve got other plans. I was thinking it might be nice if we go there together."There was a long pause, and I felt a little anxious, wondering if Marco was going to say no. He wasn’t exactly a fan of Carson. Just hearing his name seemed to set Marco off, and I worried th

    I stood by the door, watching Marco disappear into the distance. Minutes passed, and even though I knew they could handle themselves, I couldn’t shake this uneasy feeling. Ronan was finally out of the picture, but the anxiety still lingered.I kept wondering—would things finally calm down now that Ronan was gone? Would we finally get the peace we’d been hoping for? But deep down, I knew it wasn’t that simple. Marco still had plenty of enemies. Ronan and the Lombardi were just the tip of the iceberg. There were more threats out there, waiting for the right moment to strike.I stayed frozen by the door, lost in thought. Violet stood beside me, just as weighed down by everything on our minds.After saying goodbye to my sister, it was time to leave. The day had slipped away, and the sky was already starting to darken. Time to go home.We got into the car—just me, Renzo, and our driver, Wilfred. The rest of our security team followed in another car.I turned to Renzo, needing to ask someth

    I gave Violet a look. Really? Was now seriously the time for jokes?Renzo cleared his throat, probably trying to move past her comment. “We jumped into the river on purpose,” he said. “We knew the current would carry us. I can swim, so it wasn’t a big risk. Lucille and her crew just assumed we drowned. They never checked. That was part of the plan—to throw them off and keep them guessing. They weren’t even sure if we’d been taken out by the Morettis. Gabriele was waiting for us downstream. That’s how we made our final escape.”I glanced over at Caleb, expecting he’d want to chime in now that everyone else had spoken.“I didn’t do much,” he said with a grin. “Mostly just cursed a lot, Ma’am.”
