Chapter 31. Finding Solace.

Luca's footsteps echoed through the grand hallway of the familiar hotel as he let out a weary sigh. His hands found solace in his pockets, seeking comfort as he embarked on a much-needed stroll. He had concocted an excuse to Elena about wanting information on the bonfire party scheduled for later that day, but that was only a fraction of the truth. Tonight, he craved a moment of respite, a chance to breathe.If Elena discovered the weight still burdening his heart, it would only add to her worries. He couldn't bear to inflict more pain upon her delicate soul. She had already suffered enough on his account. Retrieving his phone from his trousers, Luca realized he hadn't updated his best friend on the recent upheaval in his life."Hey, Rio," he said as soon as he heard the familiar beep on the other end, signaling his friend's response."Luca," Rio's voice came through, laced with a hint of tension."Hey, are you alright?" Luca inquired, pausing in the hallway that branched out to vario

Chapter 32. Ancia.

Lucia's lips slowly parted, her breath catching in her throat before she finally managed to close her mouth. With a determined swallow, she forced her unwavering gaze back to Andrea, her boss. A hint of a smile played on his lips as he welcomed her."Hi, Lucia," he said, his voice warm and inviting."Hi," she replied, her voice trembling slightly. "Boss," she added, unsure of what else to say."What are..." Lucia began, but he swiftly interrupted her. "Would you invite me in first?" he asked softly, his eyes searching hers."Oh... of course. Come on in," Lucia responded, opening the door wider. Andrea smiled and walked past her. Lucia couldn’t help but hold her breath as he passed. His cologne was doing something to her senses. It wasn’t anything good.She swiftly secured the door’s lock and rushed in to meet Andrea. He stood as he surveyed the room. She wasn’t sure why her boss was here. Or was she?“I….”Andrea quickly turned to look her as Lucia paused, she bit her lips as she ent

Chapter 33. Ancia(part 2)

Lucia pulled away abruptly, as if their contact had never been meant to happen. She struggled to catch her breath, feeling the intensity of the moment weighing on her. Kissing Andrea had been the craziest thing she had ever experienced."Lucia, I..." Andrea began, but she quickly retreated, her eyes pleading with him. “I really can’t do this, Mr Romano,” she looked up at him, with a pleading look. At that point, Andrea felt helpless. He had wanted to confirm something about Lucia. And now, he can’t stop yearning for her.“It’s fine,” he pressed his lips while regarding her with watchful eyes. “But please, resume work tomorrow,” Lucia paused for a moment then nodded lightly. “Sure,” Andrea stood for a moment contemplating his next move then advanced towards her.Lucia fought the urge to step back, regretting the sudden break in their romantic connection earlier. Romantic? Was she even worthy of having something romantic with this man?"Maybe..." Andrea began, his gaze calm and stea

Chapter 34. A Third Party.

Rio's private investigator paused, ready to divulge crucial information. "Celine Darlington, born to an Italian mother and an American father. She attended Crux High, and now she owns one of the biggest cosmetic companies in the country, but there's more to her story...""Wait, wait. Hold on a second. Celine is dead. How could she..." Rio's voice faltered as he struggled to come to terms with the reality of the situation."Dead?" The investigator seemed taken aback. "I can assure you, boss, she's very much alive. Celine underwent a face surgery.""A surgery?" Rio repeated, trying to process the shocking revelation."Yes. Based on the photo you sent me, I delved into her past. It was a challenging task since almost everything about her history appeared to have been erased."Rio muttered, "That explains a lot.""Where is she now?" Rio inquired, his impatience growing by the second."She's in Venice," the investigator revealed, causing Rio's breathing to quicken. If she was in Venice, th

Chapter 35. Disguised.

“Celine,” his body shook in terror as his eyes widened. Elena noticed his discomfort as he looked from him to the woman frantically. “Luca?” She called as she tried to grasp the situation.Luca who has his attention on the woman quickly stood up and rushed towards hers, he pushed her instinctively, pinning her on the sandy floor, holding her neck tightly with all the strength he could muster.“Luca! Stop!” Elena shouted as she held him from behind, but it was like she speaking to the air. “Luca!” She continued frantically as the woman gasped and tried to push Luca away. At last, with the help of people around, they were able to get Luca off the woman.“Hey, are you alright?” Elena asked her in fear as she checked and observed her neck.“I’m fine,” the lady managed to mutter. Elena watched her frantically and turned to look at Luca who stared at the lady like he was still after her.“Luca! What the fuck was that all about?!” Elena fired Luca staggered back with a widened eye as he wat

Chapter 36. Unrequited.

Luca rushed towards her when he realized who she was. With a swift motion, he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to him. Burying his face in her fragrant hair and reeling in it’s warmth.“I’m so sorry,” he muttered. “I don’t know what’s happening to me, Elena. I’m messed up,”The woman in his arms kept still, confused. They stayed that way for some moment then Luca noticed that something was off. She didn’t reply nor reciprocated the hug.The absence of her response, the lack of reciprocal warmth, troubled him deeply."Elena?" he called out, his grip on her loosening slightly.He released her slowly, and held her shoulder as he watched her, a mixture of concern and confusion etched on his face. At that point, he caught a glimpse of another being standing some feet away from them. “Elena?” He called as he shifted his gaze from the woman standing before him and to the one feet away."Elena?" he called again, his gaze oscillating between the woman before him and the mysteri

Chapter 37. Caught Off Guard.

"Listen, Maria. This is a huge. Can you double the fee?" Urgency laced the male voice from the other end of the line."Huh?" Maria responded, caught off guard."I need you to double the fee," he repeated, sounding slightly annoyed."Fine, just tell me already," she scoffed, trying to appear nonchalant. Deep down, however, she was desperate for the news. She had been keeping tabs on Andrea all these years, but from a distance. She didn't dare to get too close, knowing she was a wanted criminal."Lucia has got something going with Andrea,” he revealed."What?”Celine retorted, making her way to the table where a bottle of scotch sat. She picked it up and held the phone between her shoulder and ear, bending her head to secure it in place."Lucia," he replied.Celine scoffed in disbelief. "That's nonsense. Lucia isn't seeing anyone."The man chuckled softly. "You've been busy, Maria. You can't keep track of everything. Your baby sister has something going on with Andrea."Celine froze, let

"Tell me everything, Rio," he requested, his voice tinged with a hint of urgency.Rio sighed, his eyes filled with concern. “He had this fight with Elena. Although…I’m not sure why. And then, she disappeared. Luca has been frantically looking for her. He's a wreck."Andrea let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding, relief washing over him. "Thank goodness," he murmured gratefully.Confusion flickered across Rio's face as he questioned, "What do you mean?""Celine called Rio," Andrea disclosed, his voice heavy with implications.Rio's eyes widened, a wave of realization crashing over him. “Oh my God,” Rio breathed, realization dawning on him. “How is that even possible?”"I don't have the answers. I've already contacted someone to investigate. I called to ensure Luca's safety. Is he with you? How is he holding up?"Rio hesitated, his gaze meeting Ryan's sympathetic eyes. The unsp

Chapter 39. Twisted.

Rosa sank back on the sofa she sat on earlier. Celine words hit her like bullets. “You promised,” she said with teary eyes. Celine gave out a wicked laugh and crouch down beside her as Rosa looked at her. “What did you think Rosa? Ugh? I would just let you go. So that you can destroy my plan? Go rat me out on the Romanos? You are so dumb, Sweet Rosa,” she cooed as tears spilled from Rosa’s eyes.“You don’t plan on letting me nor my son go,” Rosa swallowed shakily.“Yeah…” Celine stood up and walked some feet away from her and turned again. “Maybe not,” she teased playfully. “I could just let you two be if I get what I want,” she gave a mocking smile.Rosa fell on her knees as she dragged herself towards Celine while holding the helm of her skirt. “Please..please Celine,” she pleaded desperately. "I'll do anything. Just let me see Robin. I beg you," she implored, her voice filled with raw desperation.Celine bent down, using her finger to lift Rosa's chin slightly, forcing their eyes

"Rio, I'm so..." he began, his voice trembling."Shut up," Rio interrupted, pointing aggressively at Ryan, his eyes filled with fury. "Don't you ever try that again. Do you hear me?" he warned, his anger propelling him towards the door. However, Ryan couldn't let it go."Are you going to let yourself be the third wheel forever?"
