Chapter 5

Author: Jasmine Flower
I pushed the door open. My face tightened as I stared at Bianca. "What the hell are you teaching Luca?"

Bianca's expression faltered for a heartbeat. Almost immediately, she replaced it with an innocent smile. "Enzo, what are you on about? I was just chatting with him."

As she spoke, she subtly nudged Luca, silently urging him to speak.

"Dad… My head really hurts. Can you stay with me?" Luca's voice was barely a whisper.

Still, my gaze remained cold and unyielding.

"Is Luca really sick? I'll go get a doctor to check on him right now."

Panic flickered across Bianca's face, and she grabbed my arm. "I-It's fine, Enzo… I'm sure Luca will be okay after he gets some rest…"

I let out a cold laugh and shook her hand off.

"Bianca, you've honestly changed. You weren't like this before. What's with your attitude lately?"

Bianca went pale. She tried to explain, "I just wanted you to spend more time with Luca—"

I interrupted her. "Did Carmela really push you this morning?"

    I pressed my lips together and answered coldly, "He's a friend. Mr. Moretti, is there something you need from me?"A shadow of pain flickered in Enzo's eyes. "Carmela, I know the truth now," he said. "Bianca lied to me. I was wrong to blame you. Please… Give me another chance. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you."I looked at him, but my heart was completely unmoved. I had loved him once, but that chapter was over.I shook his hand off and said firmly, "Enzo, we're divorced. You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."His eyes burned with desperation. "No! I never agreed to this. I tore up the divorce agreement! You're still my wife!"I scoffed. "So what? I have a lawyer handling everything. Whether you agree or not, it makes no difference." As I turned to leave, Enzo's hand shot out and grabbed mine. "Carmela… please. Just give me one more chance. You know I can't live without you."I met his eyes, but deep down, I felt nothing at all.At that moment

    I shuddered, a flicker of pain passing through my eyes.I closed them and drew a deep breath. When I opened them again, my gaze was as cold as ice."So what? I'll take responsibility for my mistakes, but don't think you can escape the consequences. Bianca, our score isn't settled yet."With that, I left the hospital room, not once looking back.Bianca sank to the floor. Her eyes were filled with despair as she watched my retreating figure.…Back at the office, I immersed myself in work. I tried to drown my thoughts in a relentless schedule. I didn't want to confront the painful events that still haunted me.But in the stillness of night, my thoughts kept drifting to Carmela and the happy moments we had shared.I was overwhelmed by regret, pain, and guilt, yet more than anything, I longed for her. My heart was heavy with remorse.From that day forward, I devoted myself entirely to my work while searching relentlessly for any sign of Carmela.I spared no effort, exhausting eve

    With a heart heavy with sorrow and fury, I confronted Enzo with the brutal truth. "The baby's gone. He passed away while you were with Bianca and Luca."Enzo's face went pale, but almost immediately, his anger flared. "Carmela! You're lying—"Just as he reached toward my stomach, Bianca cried out, "Ouch! My foot hurts, Enzo…""You better not go anywhere. When I get back, we'll have a proper talk!" Enzo snapped at me.After shooting me a glare, he carried Bianca out the door.I glanced at my bruised wrist from when he had shoved me to the ground. With a bitter smile, I pushed myself to my feet. Dragging my suitcase, I left the villa and made my way straight to the airport.When I finally boarded the plane, a wave of relief washed over me.…Enzo's Point-of-ViewI sat in the hospital room, peeling an apple for Bianca. Out of nowhere, a creeping unease settled in my chest.I couldn't stop thinking about the resolute look in Carmela's eyes earlier. It was obvious that she hadn't

    I went home and started packing my things. I was finally ready to leave.On the way, I stumbled upon Bianca's new Instagram post."Having Enzo with him at the doctor's made Luca brave. He wasn't afraid of the pain this time!"The photo showed Enzo holding Luca close, his expression full of concern.Enzo had commented on the post, "From now on, I'll always be there for him.""I'll treat him like my own son."As I read those words, tears filled my eyes again.I had already been shattered by the loss of our baby. Yet here he was, promising to care for another woman's son.Every ounce of his love should have belonged to our baby.Grief coiled around my heart, leaving me gasping for air.Upon returning home, I looked at the nursery I had lovingly prepared. Tears streamed down my face as I stood among all the baby items.Enzo and I had planned every detail for our baby's arrival. But now, our child was lost to us.The home that had once overflowed with happiness now felt like a k

    Suddenly, my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram notification."From now on, Luca will have Enzo with him at every parent-teacher meeting!"In the photo, Bianca and Enzo stood on either side of Luca, their smiles lighting up his face. Every word in her caption overflowed with pride.While Luca was being cherished by Enzo, my baby had already been erased from his world."Enzo," I thought bitterly, "when you finally realize that you chose another child over our own, will you feel even the slightest regret?"I grabbed my phone and instructed my lawyer to forward the signed divorce agreement to Enzo.A whole week went by, and I still hadn't received a reply. Determined, I arranged for the divorce agreement to be delivered straight to his office.Even three days later, there was no response. With no other option left, I called to confront him."Carmela, I really liked the gift you sent this time," Enzo said. "Stop lying just to get my attention, and stop being jealous of Bianca and Lu
