LUCAI handed Maya to Valerie and stood. So both of her children were not Riot's? That made more sense. Now I understood why she was so worried.“Maya isn't his daughter too?” I asked, leaning forward with my hands on the table. “No, I already had them before I married Riot. When I couldn't give him a child after a year, he started hating me.” Valerie cried, cleaning her face. If Valerie's son was not Riot's child, then he was very unsafe. They could kill him.We had to find him, and we had to save him.Alina followed me to the door. Immediately we stepped outside, she stopped and her eyes filled with bright tears. “What have I done, Luca? That kid will die, won't he?” I stepped towards her, shaking my head. “He won't die. We won't let him. Go in for work. Call a meeting with your men, and ask them to be careful, we're not sure yet how they will react, but we need to be ready.” Alina gulped and nodded, turned and walked inside. Marco was already standing beside my car. A minute

LUCAI parked outside and waited for Alina.I was picking her up after her meeting. The door opened but it was Alberto who came outside. He walked past me toward his car, his eyes burning with so much hatred, it was almost laughable. If looks could kill, I’d be dead a thousand times over and he wouldn't have been my killer either. I didn’t react. Didn’t even spare him a second look as I pulled open the passenger door just as Alina stepped outside.She pulled her coat tighter, her hair shifting against her shoulders as the wind picked up. She looked tired and majestic at the same time. When I stepped into the car, the driver pulled out, my security detail in front and behind us. After being shot at, I was more careful with security. I watched Alina's face. She looked calm, but I could tell she was worried. “How did the meeting go? Any problems?” She shrugged. “The meeting went fine enough.” Then, after a second, she added, “Alberto threatened to kill you.”I laughed quietly. Why

LUCAAs we stepped into my office, Daniel was already waiting, sitting lazily in one of the chairs like he owned the place. He looked up, and his mouth curved into a smirk before his eyes rested on Alina. He laughed.“Oh, I see,” he said, looking her up and down lustfully. I felt my blood boil. “She’s definitely a pussy worth all this fighting.”Alina looked disgusted, as though she wanted to spit on his face. I touched her waist to stop her.I clenched my jaw so hard I thought my teeth might crack. My fingers curled into fists, the urge to walk across the room and smash his face into the table nearly unbearable. I could become The Monster, I could crack his face so hard into the table that his numb skull would split apart. I could declare war by killing Daniel.It would take one second. Just one hit, and I would wipe that smug expression off his face permanently.But I couldn’t. Not yet.Daniel was a bastard, but he wasn’t an idiot, at least not completely, because he wasn’t here

LUCAThe car ride home was quiet.Alina sat curled up in the back seat, her legs pulled up onto the leather, her body angled toward the window. She looked half-asleep already, her head tilting slightly, her fingers resting loosely in her lap.I watched her tiredly. The last few days had been difficult. Everything had happened so fast; Riot, Valerie, Daniel, and we’d barely had a second to breathe, let alone talk. And now that things were finally settling, now that the adrenaline had seeped out of both of us, I realized something. I had no idea why that hit me now, in the back of this damn car.But I missed her.Which made no sense because we had spent the vast majority of time with each other, fighting. It had come to me when Daniel had pointed that gun at her.I would have killed him without any care if he had dared to shoot. I cleared my throat. “What do you want to do with Valerie?”Alina blinked, as if pulling herself back to the present. She shrugged, eyes still half-lidded.

ALINAI pulled my phone out as I walked out of Valerie’s room, dialing my mother.She picked up on the second ring. “Alina?”“Get ready,” I said, heading down the hall. “You’re going on vacation in two days.”Mother laughed happily. “Is Sofia leaving finally?”“Yes.”“Oh, finally!” she said, laughing. “I’ve been stuck here for too long.” I swallowed. “You deserve a break, Mami.”She exhaled. “I know.”There was a pause, then her voice became softer. “Valentina came back. She finished cleaning your father’s study.”I stopped walking, feeling guilty. I hadn't gone back to the office since finding the diary even though the room was now supposed to be my own office. Valentina had, though. She had done what I couldn't.I pulled the phone away from my ear and clicked on Valentina’s contact after I had told my mother goodbye. She picked up almost immediately. “I thought you're dead.” I winced. She had most probably heard about everything going on. “I'm very alive and well. I called to s
