Ariana's POVIt was finally weekend... The week was busy and tiring.Dante had to leave very early in the morning for an emergency meeting in Dubai unfortunately ruining our plans with the kids for the weekend. I am currently in the kitchen with the kids, flour was everywhere Sophia was covered in it, Asher was carefully stirring the bowl and Isabella was reading the recipe out loud telling us exactly what to do."No Sophia, that's too much vanilla!" Isabella complained in annoyance."But it smells good!" Sophia argued holding the bottle.I laughed. "Isabella is right baby too much vanilla makes it taste bitter, just a little bit okay?."She puffed, "okay mummy"We were all laughing and chit-chatting It was a perfect normal morning one which Dante should have been here with us but unfortunately that stupid meeting had to ruin everything.Ugh!the doorbell ringing snapped me out of my train of thoughts."I'll get it!" Sophia yelled dropping her spoon."No no you're all messy," I said

D A N T EI closed the door to the guest room behind me as I walked into the room my heart pounding with rage.Melissa was trying to mess with me and ruin the happiness I finally thought I had."what are you doing?" I asked my voice low and tight. "We had an agreement, I gave you the money just as much as you asked and I even added some on top. Why can't you just take it and leave us alone? I want to be happy I finally have my family back and you want to ruin that for me? Come on."She grined a satisfying one “An agreement?" she scoffs. "You think money fixes everything Dante? You think you can just pay me off and I will disappear? I love money Dante and you know that but I love you even more, I didn’t realize that until after I left you. I made a mistake, it was the biggest mistake of my life and now I’m back to fix things."My patience was running very thin, I was trying so hard to keep it down so Ariana doesn’t wake up or the kids. "It is too late for that Melissa! Too late! That

D A N T E I watched Ariana run into the house her sobs tearing at something deep inside me hating myself even more than I already do. But Ariana shouldn’t have said those mean things to Melissa, it actually surprises me that she said those things… it’s that part of her that I’ve never seen before. “Oh Dante,” Melissa’s voice was a shaky fake whisper beside me as she clutched my arm her fingers digging in. “I’m so sorry…I didn’t mean to cause any trouble I just wanted to be her friend.” Melissa was faking whatever it was… and I wasn’t liking it. “Let’s go inside Melissa,” I said, my voice tired. I pulled my arm from her grip. “We need to talk.” I didn’t wait for her answer I just turned and walked towards the house my steps heavy. I heard her quick light footsteps following me we went upstairs forcing me myself to keep walking to the guest room and not run to Ariana and offer her comfort. I held the door open for Melissa and she walked in and the moment I closed t

A R I A N AFor a long time I just stared at him as I struggle to digest the words nothing making sense to me.Ex-wife. Son. His. I took a step back my back hitting the hard edge of my desk. The pain was sharp real. It grounded me in this nightmare.“No,” I whispered. Then louder. “No!”I looked right at Dante. “All this time,” I said my voice shaking. “All this distance. The coldness. You not looking at me not touching me.” I could feel my face getting hot the tears drying up replaced by so much rage and pain “No wonder It all makes sense now! No wonder you don’t give me the attention I want or spend all your time with her It’s because of her isn’t it? Your ex-wife!”I said the word like it was poison.

Was our whole marriage just a lie? Was I just some… some placeholder until she showed up again

A R I A N AMy legs moved on their own one step back then another as I tried to log me breath so they don’t hear me.I had come to Angelo’s apartment to seek comfort just like I did the other time when we had a fight.After what happened in the office, I didn’t have anywhere to go soI came here. Seeing them both together made my heart crunch in pain, it made my blood went cold. It couldn’t be.Angelo’s voice was smooth and approving.This was all part of their plan… how stupid could I be?“I told you I could handle him. Dante and I… we have a history.”Melissa’s voice.I had listened to every single word. The plan. The lies. The manipulation. The divorce papersa “masterstroke.” The children—a cruelty she decided on because she didn’t care. She wanted Dante miserable. I stumbled back and back into my hip hit a small side table a vase wobbled but I was quick to grab it, my fingers fumbling, and it settled with a soft clink.Had they heard?Panic, pure and electric, shot through
