Lucia was exhausted by Leonardo’s accusations.

Her voice was calm, but every word cut deep.

“Leonardo, do I exist only for you? Am I here just to raise your children and obey whatever you say?”

Leonardo shot back immediately, his tone sharp.

“You’re not helping me—you’re protecting your own life. Didn’t the kids call you Mom? They never once called Lorenza that. And I gave you a comfortable life in return, didn’t I?”

Lucia stared at him in disbelief.

Her gaze turned icy.

“I raised them for six years. Of course they call me ‘Mom.’ If they never called Lorenza that, it has nothing to do with me. Since the day we got married, I have never taken a single thing from you. And that so-called comfortable life? To me, it’s worthless.”

Worthless.

Leonardo let out a cold sneer.

“So now that you’ve met Damiano, your standards have risen? Lucia, the most important thing a person can have is self-awareness. Know your place. If you want to stand on the same level as someone like Damiano, you’d bette

    Marcello was saying that all the recent turmoil and arguments in the family were because of Lucia Bianchi. He cited her incompatible energy with Leonardo Marchesi’s as the reason all this trouble kept happening.“Let’s set that aside for now. Mr. Colonna, is there anything we can adjust in the house?” Lorenza asked.Marcello glanced around. “I’ve already taken a look earlier. A few items should be removed, like that wedding photo. It’s primarily black and white, and it’s placed in the west. Such a placement disrupts the harmony between the couple in the house.“Also, all the bedrooms with doors facing east should be reassigned to someone who complements your energy. That will bring immediate results.”East-facing bedrooms?It struck Davide that every bedroom door in the house faced east. The guest rooms were rarely used.If someone had to be “reassigned,” then it could only mean that they were being moved to the master bedroom.Lorenza seized the opportunity and said, “Leonardo, I thi

    Nina smiled and said softly,“It doesn’t hurt, Mom.”She was trying hard to pretend everything was fine. She was afraid Lucia would feel even worse if she showed pain.These days, Lucia’s tears appeared only for the two children. She wrapped her arms around them and lifted them gently.“Have you been eating?” she asked.“Yes!”Nina clung tightly to Lucia’s neck. Her affectionate dependence was enough to irritate Lorenza just by watching.Lucia carried the children to the dining room and sat down.Lorenza spoke calmly,“Lucia, Nina said earlier that she needed someone to feed her. She’s not a baby anymore. She should be learning to eat by herself.”Nina immediately lifted her head.“I said that only when I’m sick. You misunderstood.”Lorenza looked awkward.“Oh
 right.”Lucia said nothing. She simply picked up the spoon, ready to feed Nina.But Nina took it from her.“I can do it, Mom.”Leonardo frowned. He didn’t understand why Nina had insisted on being fed earlier.Once again, he th

    Inside the hospital ward, Leonardo sat on the edge of the bed and spoke gently,“Nina, Nico, I’m not taking your biological mother’s side, but you still need to be respectful. If something is bothering you, you should talk it out calmly.”“But we don’t like her. We just want Mom.”Nina looked so pitiful that it was impossible not to feel sorry for her.Leonardo was their father—of course he cared. Still, he couldn’t stop the frustration simmering in his chest.“I raised my voice earlier,” he said, wrapping an arm around Nico. “I’m sorry. Can you forgive me?”Upset, Nico let silent tears fall as he whispered,“We just want Mom to come back.”Mom
Lucia.The children depended on her far more than Leonardo wanted to admit.“She’s not here, but I am,” he reasoned inwardly.Leonardo remembered Lucia’s words—They’re your kids.She had left just like that, without a second thought. To him, it felt deeply irresponsible.Anger surged again.He refused to believe that he couldn’t take care of t

    Gusto Castro shook his head calmly.“That might have been true before. But Ms. Bianchi is now an employee of Gusto Group. If someone tries to exploit my staff, I won’t stand by and watch.”He had thought this through long ago. If Lucia and Leonardo ever went to war, he would stand with Lucia—without hesitation.Not only because he enjoyed making Leonardo’s life difficult, but because bringing Lucia to his side meant securing the most powerful hidden asset connected to San Celestino.And he would never be foolish enough to reveal Lucia’s true background to Leonardo.He was looking forward to the day Leonardo Marchesi would finally regret everything.Leonardo’s expression darkened as he stared at Lucia.“It’s late. You should go back and video-call the kids.”To him, it was her responsibility. The children depended on her the most. They adored her.So wasn’t it natural that she should be the one caring for them?Even here, in public, he ordered her around like a servant—like a nanny—wit

    At that thought, Leonardo Marchesi stepped forward. From several feet away, his voice cut through the room.“Lucia.”Every head turned.Leonardo’s eyes met Damiano’s calm, smiling gaze. In that instant, a sharp sense of wariness flared in his chest—the kind of silent hostility only men understood.Gusto Castro was the first to speak.“Mr. Marchesi, what a coincidence.”Leonardo didn’t believe that for a second. Every time the Marchesi Group targeted a project, Gusto Group somehow appeared.What unsettled him more was Lucia’s presence beside Gusto. He suddenly remembered her mentioning she was starting work again.Did she join Gusto Group?The thought sent a surge of anger through him. He strode over, grabbed Lucia’s arm, and pulled her aside.Behind Damiano, a man whispered, “Mr. George, should I—”Damiano shook his head calmly.By the side entrance, Leonardo’s gaze turned cold.“So you really went back to work? And of all places, you chose Gusto Group just to provoke me?”He hadn’t e
