Matteo's POV

"Was the death of Isla Moreno AKA the deluca princess really an accident or an orchestrated murder?"

That headline kept glaring at me, mocking me. I was shaking with so much with the amount of anger I had in me. I scrolled through the article. A frown made its way to my face when the reporter's name wasn't written. That was really suspicious. But it didn't matter anyway. Who was I that I couldn't find out if I wanted to? Besides, the news company was boldly written on top. It wouldn't be long before I dug out the bastard who had the balls to write the absurd article. Not only was he tarnishing the De Luca name, but the constant use of the word 'orphan' for Isla was insulting.

He or she was making fun of her; something that no one should dare to do. Isla was a precious pearl, and shouldn't be tainted by such a lowlife. I will make sure they pay dearly for ever messing with me. They would never get to work in this city ever again— that was if whoever it

    Chapter Forty-FiveMatteo's POV I can't believe that it was finally happening. Sometimes it felt like a dream. Maybe I was not ready to get married yet, or was it the fact that I wasn't Marrying the woman that I loved.I didn't know what the problem was, but the only thing I knew was that I wasn't really feeling the whole ceremony. Everything was great. Mia did a good job in choosing the venue. She was very beautiful in her wedding dress. The weather was perfect, the guests were all smiles. Everything was going perfectly, but for some reason, my mind wasn't in it. It was far away. I kept glancing at my parents, specifically at my mom— or should I say the vacant seat beside her that should have been Isla's even though I had no idea if she would have attended the ceremony if she was alive. Would she be at home sulking that I was getting married to someone else or would she put on her fixed smile and tried to wish me a happy married life? I wondered.Marriage was meant to be someone's

    Chapter Forty-FourIsla's POV "Never look down on yourself. Never let anyone bring you down, whether by words or action. Do you understand pic..." I jolted awake. Looking around, I breathed a sigh of relief when I found out I was in the living room."Why can't I put a face to that voice?" I wondered aloud.I held my head when I felt a sharp pain. Massaging my forehead, I tried to ease the headache. I jumped in surprise when I made eye contact with Lucia as she sat still staring at me intently. For a second, I thought she was asleep with her eyes wide open until she smiled at me."Lucia! I have told you to stop scaring me that way. Are you trying to make me have a miscarriage?" Lucia rolled her eyes playfully, then crossed her legs still not saying a word. Feeling like I was under scrutiny, I stood up, making my the kitchen to get a glass of water. Lucia was acting weird much lately which was so unlike her. She wasn't teasing me as much and her quietness was making me uncomfortable.

    Chapter Forty-ThreeMatteo's POV My father kept on tapping one of his fingers on the table, both of us having a staring contest. No one wanted to break eye contact first. I had no idea what he was thinking, or why I was called in the first place. He seems to be doing that a lot these days. Maybe it was his way of trying to relieve his guilt about what he planned to do to Isla. But I knew my father, and he never feels remorse. Instead, he'll definitely be disappointed with himself that Isla died before he could get his hands on the Russo's territory. I blame myself. I was caught up in my own world that I didn't notice my father was making side deals with the enemy. The thought of Isla getting married to another man terrified. When I first found out that I was in love with her, it bothered me that someday she would have to leave the De Luca mansion. I knew that one day she would stop bearing the Moreno name, and use that of her husband. That was why I kept my feelings hidden deep in

    Chapter Forty-TwoRaymond's POV "I'm sorry I have been acting like a stranger. Damian is always around, and if he finds out that both of us are together, it wouldn't end well,"I held her by the waist, pulling her closer, kissing her gently on lips, my heart pounding loudly. I never thought I will be capable of falling in love with someone like her, but she truly brightened up my world. Without her in my life, I don't think I had a purpose for living."I have always known that Signor Damian was too strict but is it really to the point where he controlled the person that you dated? Would he mind if you and I are together? I have already gotten on his bad side, and it was just over a simple job of closely monitoring Isla, but instead of doing that, I turned into her friend." I shook my head. I knew that wasn't the reason Damian would be against me dating, especially someone like Josie."He would think that I was getting distracted with my work. Damian would also think that I was shari

    Chapter Forty-OneMia's POV "You have barely touched your pasta. I thought this was your favorite restaurant. Or did I get it wrong? I have heard you always talk about this place. If the food isn't good, we can go somewhere else." Matteo tried to stand up, but I touch his hand, stopping him from doing so. The restaurant nor the food wasn't the problem. He was right. This was my favorite place of having a meal, even though I had no idea how much Matteo knew. I guess he was really paying attention to me whenever I am talking. I wished it was the restaurant though. The only thing on my mind was what Alessandro De Luca wanted. I know I shouldn't trust that man but he proposed a really tempting offer, and I didn't know how to say no to him. But I also knew that making a deal with Mateo's father was not something I should be doing. He was manipulative, cunning, and selfish and I have no idea how Mateo would react if he finds out that his father wanted me to spy on him— his own wife. It w

    Chapter FortyIsla's POV "As expected, the baby is healthy. Although from the bags under your eyes, it seems as if you are stressed, Mrs Russo. Haven't you been getting enough sleep?" Doctor Stefano asked me, his eyes raised to my face as he awaited my answer.I glanced at Damian who stood by the door, looking nervous. He always had that look whenever the doctor came to check up on me. Whenever he found out the baby was okay, he always let out a sigh of relief. I wondered why Damian always looked more panicked than me who was even carrying the baby. I suspected that it may be a past trauma. Had I been pregnant before? Had I lost it? Is that the reason why he was always so paranoid? He never wanted me to stress myself. "I have been getting enough sleep, Doctor. Maybe it's just the hormones acting up. I can't wait. I am just glad that my baby is okay," I replied.Doctor Stefano smiled. I have gotten really comfortable with him. At first I was quite skeptical with Damian bringing him b
