The room fell into a tense silence as Layla's eyes locked onto Rene, her expression shifting from confusion to shock. Jason, still holding Layla’s arm, followed her gaze and his eyes widened slightly, clearly taken aback by the unexpected turn of events.Rene's heart pounded in his chest as he tried to maintain his composure. He had not anticipated seeing Layla and Jason here, and their presence complicated matters further. He could feel the eyes of the Rossi family boring into him, their expressions a mix of curiosity and disdain.Layla's voice, laced with a hint of disbelief, cut through the silence. "Theo? What are you doing here?"Before Rene could answer, Jason rushed for him, his fist swinging for Rene's face. At first, Rene wanted to dodge, but remembering Rome's warning and not wanting to make the situation more suspicious than it already was, he allowed Jason's punch to connect. Before he could retaliate, however, another fist collided with his jaw, and he felt his vision go

The mention of Ford's family brought a quiet fear into the room. Mr. Rossi’s expression darkened as he processed Parblo’s words. The Rossis and Fords had a complicated history, and any hint of scandal or violence could have serious repercussions.Mr. Rossi’s eyes narrowed, and he leaned forward, his voice low but edged with menace. "Are you suggesting that I, or anyone in this house, would be responsible for any injuries your son has sustained?"Parblo swallowed, his eyes flicking nervously between Mr. Rossi and Rene. "I’m simply stating the facts. If Kia returns with visible injuries, it could lead to unwanted attention and trouble, especially with the Ford family’s reputation for investigating such matters."Mr. Rossi’s face tightened as he considered the implications. The last thing he needed was for the Fords to become involved or for rumors of misconduct to spread. He took a deep breath, regaining his composure. "Very well. Maria, since he's your soon-to-be husband, you are respo

The elderly woman’s gaze shifted to Rene, her look of disdain evident. Maria’s face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and frustration as she stood in the kitchen, her mother’s reprimand hanging heavily in the air.“Mother, I was just trying to—” Maria began, but her mother cut her off with a sharp gesture.“Just trying to what?” her mother snapped. “You’re aware of the family's reputation and how we handle guests. Bringing a stranger into the kitchen and catering to him like this is completely inappropriate.”Rene, sensing the increasing tension, remained silent, feeling the weight of the disapproval in the room. He noticed Maria’s shoulders stiffening and her expression hardening.“I understand, Mother,” Maria said, her voice barely above a whisper. “But he’s—”“No, Maria,” her mother interrupted, “you’re to cease this nonsense immediately. Our family’s image is paramount. You will not let personal sentiments interfere with our standing. It's already a disgrace for you to get marry

In the kitchen of the Rossi mansion, Rene stood at the sink, an apron draped over his clothes as he scrubbed pots and pans with meticulous care. Just then, Rachel entered the room, and seeing that it was empty, she approached Rene, and then said, "Let me help you." Rene looked up, his face marked with exhaustion, but he managed a small, weary smile at Rachel. "Thanks, but I’ve got it covered."Rachel shook her head, stepping closer. "No. I don’t mind. It’s the least I can do after what you’ve been through.""You must be new here. The Rossi don't appreciate servants that associate with me, so it best to avoid me if you want to keep this job." Rachel’s eyes widened at Rene’s warning, but she remained undeterred, stepping closer and giving him a sympathetic smile. “It’s my first day, yes. But I’ve already heard about how the Rossi family treats you. I don’t want to just stand by and do nothing.”Rene’s eyes softened slightly as he glanced at her, taking in her earnest expression. “You

When Rene didn't budge, Josh’s face turned bright red as he stormed toward him, fists clenched and eyes wild with anger. The room fell silent, everyone holding their breath between Mr. Rossi’s stern decision and Josh’s explosive outburst.Rene met Josh’s rage with a calm, steady gaze, refusing to back down. He stood firm, not breaking eye contact. Sensing the danger, Maria stepped in front of Rene, spreading her arms open, her face showing both desperation and defiance.“Dad, please!” Maria’s voice trembled as she pleaded with Mr. Rossi. “This isn’t right. You can’t force us into this.”With a scoff, Mr. Rossi’s gaze remained fixed on Rene, cold and unyielding. “Maria, there’s no discussion here. Actions have consequences, and today you’ll see that.”His father's words made Josh’s anger boil over and he raised his hand to slap Maria, but in a flash, his wife Vittoria clinging to him, tears streaming down her face. “Josh, stop! Let’s think this through.”Frowning at her, Josh’s voice
