When Leonardo finally arrived home in his disheveled state, guilt weighing heavy on his shoulders, he found Sofia waiting for him near the front door. Her phone trembled in her tight grip, and the moment she saw him, she shot to her feet, rushing toward him.

She threw herself into his arms, her body shaking as tears streamed down her cheeks.

“Where were you the whole night, Leonardo?” she cried, her voice breaking. “Who does this to his pregnant wife after a small fight, huh?”

Her sobs echoed in the hallway as she pressed her face against his chest. Leonardo’s heart shattered at the sound of her pain. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly as though he could shield her from everything—including himself.

“I’m sorry, amore mio,” he whispered, lowering his head and pressing his lips to her hair. “It won’t ever happen again. I swear.”

Sofia pulled back slightly, just enough to look into his stormy grey eyes with her tear-filled blue ones. Her voice was soft, but the words st

    The next morning, Siena woke up with a pounding headache, wincing as sunlight streamed right onto her face.“Ugh… who the hell opened the curtains?” she groaned, pulling the pillow over her head.“Language, Siena!” her mom, Renata’s sharp voice rang out, making Siena snap out of her sleepiness instantly. “And now, hurry up—your father’s waiting for you at the breakfast table.”Siena’s eyes widened in nervousness as she peeked out from under the pillow. Her mom didn’t sound furious, but when Siena caught a glimpse of her walking away, the trademark frown still lingered on her beautiful face.Heart thudding, Siena tossed the blanket off and stumbled into the bathroom. She scrubbed her teeth, trying to ignore how awful her mouth tasted, then jumped into the shower, letting the water wake her up and wash away the hangover.God. Last night, she hadn’t been in her right mind—loud, messy, completely out of control. Her whole family must’ve seen her drunk and wasted. Crap. Her dad definitely

    Siena’s eyes stayed locked on that familiar, charming smile—the one that used to make her heart race. Fabio Santoro. The guy she crushed on for a year, the one who’d shocked her by asking her out—and who she dated for six unforgettable months.But tonight, that smile wasn’t for her.It was for the woman he was about to get engaged to.Her grip tightened around the beer bottle as her throat burned with a mix of alcohol and betrayal. She took another swig, her eyes stinging, then suddenly pushed through the crowd, heading straight for the stage where the picture-perfect couple stood.Behind her, Anna and Riya hurried after her, alarmed. They exchanged a quick, panicked glance. Just as Siena raised the bottle, fury burning in her eyes, ready to smash it over Fabio’s head, both girls lunged forward and grabbed her arms, pulling her back with all their strength.Gasps and shrieks rippled through the crowd as heads turned, the music dying mid-beat.All eyes were on Siena—the heartbroken girl

    “Mom, why can’t we come with you to the party?” Lucia asked in her sweet little voice, tilting her head as she sat patiently while Sofia oiled her long, blonde hair.Sofia smiled softly, brushing her fingers gently through her daughter’s silky strands. Lucia was like a little mirror of her—same features, same quiet charm. Sometimes she couldn’t believe how beautiful her little girl was. “Because, sweetheart, you have school tomorrow. And the party is going to be really late.”“But we want to go too,” Vin chimed in, arms crossed and clearly grumpy about being left out.Leonardo, who was leaning against the doorway watching them, stepped in. “And who’s going to take care of your little brother, hmm?”“Ricco will be fine with Grandma,” Vin said quickly, trying to sound grown-up and clever.“True,” Leonardo nodded, amused. “But Grandma will need help too, won’t she?”“Exactly,” Sofia added, still trying to reason gently. “You know how Ricco is. He won’t sleep without his bedtime stories a

    His chest ached with emotion. He didn’t want to let go. He couldn’t.“You’re my life, Sofia. My love. My world,” he murmured, brushing his lips to her brow. “I didn’t think it was possible to love someone like this. But every day, I wake up wanting you more… needing you more.”She gave a quiet, breathy laugh, the kind that warmed his heart. “You say the most dangerous things, hubby. What am I supposed to do when you love me like this?”He looked down at her, eyes dark with emotion, yet soft with adoration. “Fall deeper,” he said simply. “Just like I do. Every damn day.”Sofia’s lips quivered into a tender smile as she leaned in and kissed him again—slowly, deeply, lovingly. They stood there, the ocean lapping at their legs, the sky above painted with the first blush of dawn, their hearts beating in sync.Leonardo didn’t care about anything else. In that moment, with her body still joined to his, her soul wrapped around his heart—he knew. There would never be anyone else.She was his b

    Sofia’s hand slowly slid down between their bodies, fingers wrapping around Leonardo’s thick, pulsing length. Her touch made his breath catch.“God… you’re so big,” she whispered in awe, her voice trembling with desire as she began to stroke him. Her hand glided from the base to the head, every motion deliberate and reverent, her thumb teasing the swollen tip slick with arousal. Her eyes locked on his, parted lips drawing in shallow, heated breaths as she guided his cock toward her slick entrance.Leonardo groaned low in his throat, watching her like a man starved. “Yes, angel… take my big cock. Take it deep inside you. Ride it nice and fast,” he commanded, his voice a raw, guttural growl as he thrust his hips just enough for the tip to press against her tight opening.She gasped and cried out when the swollen crown stretched her sensitive folds. Her head fell back as she moaned. “Fuck! Leonardo… you’re huge!”A breathless, nervous chuckle left her lips as she glanced down, biting her

    He groaned, almost buckling beneath the weight of need. “So you want me to fuck you hard in this ocean?” he growled, catching her bottom lip between his teeth and tugging gently before pulling back just enough to meet her gaze.Sofia whimpered, nodding slowly.He slipped a hand between them, fingers sliding over her drenched folds. She was soaked already—her body more than ready. He plunged a finger inside her, slowly, deliberately, feeling her walls clench around him as she gasped and arched against him.His mouth dropped to her neck again, kissing and nipping at the marks he’d left, his voice vibrating against her skin. “You’re so wet for me already, baby. This pussy is begging for my cock.”She dug her fingers into his shoulders, her breath hot and ragged as she cried, “Then take me, Leonardo… make me yours again. I need you inside me.”"You do have me in you," Leonardo grunted, his breath hot against her cheek as he drove his finger in and out of her slick heat. His rhythm grew fa
