Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back: Kabanata 251 - Kabanata 260

Logan’s POV“Do you want me to get that?” Beatrice asked sweetly from her position on the couch.“No,” I snapped at her, walking across the living room to answer my buzzing phone.I resisted the urge to roll my eyes as I passed by her. It was 8 in the evening, and she was still in her silk robe from the morning. She hadn’t even gotten dressed today. She’d just been lounging on the couch all damn day, binge watching her ridiculous reality TV shows and scarfing down ice cream.It had been like this for the past few weeks. Apparently, she was suffering from really bad morning sickness, which I found hard to believe by the way she ate that ice cream. She blamed everything on the pregnancy. She was tired because of the baby. She was ill because of the baby. She couldn’t go to work because of the baby, couldn’t pick Leo up from school, couldn’t make dinner, couldn’t do the laundry.And now, she apparently couldn’t even get dressed.Meanwhile, I was run off my feet trying to take care of Leo

Logan’s POV“I’m going to check and I’ll call you back,” I said and before Luigi could respond, I hung up.There was an ominous feeling about the place, something that I couldn’t fully describe. The lights were all off.“Will?” I called out. There was no response, so I flicked on a few lights and made my way into the living room.The apartment was neat and tidy, with stacks of papers on the coffee table. To the corner, I saw a make shift office station, with a desk full of assorted glass tubes. Wandering over to it, I lifted one.It was full of liquid, a thick oil. Popping off the top, I smelled it.A sweetness hit my nose, a fresh, bright scent. Realizing that these viles were Willow’s perfumes, I put the vile back down. It felt invasive, looking through her perfumes in progress. Cautiously I made my way to a door on the other side of the room. It creaked open, revealing a four poster bed in the centre of the room, with a simple dresser to the left.Willow’s bedroom, I realized.The b

Willow’s POVGiulia held my gaze as she revealed her gun. I didn’t really have much of a reaction. I knew this was coming, and I’d already resigned myself to the fact that I was going to die, one way or another.“So you’re going to do it, then?” I asked Giulia.“Yes,” Giulia said. She reached for the gun, lifting it from her waist band. My eyes flitted to Enzo, but the moment my eyes met his, he looked away, an uncomfortable feeling on his face.Giulia took a few steps towards me, but I held up my hand.“Wiat,” I said. She paused. With extreme effort, I brought myself to my feet, using the wall to help haul myself up.“What are you doing?” Giulia asked, watching my struggle to make my way to my feet. My legs shook and my knees threatened to buckle out from under me at any moment, but I willed myself to stand and let go of the wall.“If you’re going to kill me, I want you to do it face to face,” I said, my voice coming out stronger than I felt.For a moment, Giulia furrowed her brows, a

Third Person POVIn the corridor, Enzo Giulia, Enzo, Bruno and Corloni’s man walked down the dimly lit corridor, silent, each locked in their own thoughts.Enzo’s mind spun as the sick feeling in his stomach slowly subsided. He thought he was cold and hardened, capable of doing anything the Bianchi asked of him, but when the moment came to actually witness a murder in cold blood, Enzo’s stomach had turned and his throat had constricted.Right before Giulia had pulled the trigger, he’d opened his mouth to cry out to her, to tell her to stop. Criminal activity was one thing, drug smuggling and violence. But actually taking someone’s life was an entirely different thing Enzo realized, and he didn’t want Giulia to do it.To his surprise though, she’d shot the wall behind Willow. Flooded with relief, Enzo had been stunned. The relief didn’t last long though as he saw Bruno take the gun. He couldn’t let this happen. He couldn’t witness this. So he’d stopped Bruno, whispering in his ear that

Luigi’s POV“Ssssh,” I motioned for my mother to be silent so we could hear what was being said. My mind reeled though as I stared in disbelief at Giulia, with Enzo by her side.Enzo?A feeling of dread washed over me.“As many of you already know,” Giulia said, brandishing a coy smile, “Luigi has been named the sole heir of the famous Hernandez estate and winery. And I am happy to announce that I will soon be helping Enzo run his family business, since…” Giulia paused for dramatic effect. The crowd was silent, waiting in anticipation for her next words. My face went pale and my hands became sweaty as Giulia held up her hand to reveal a dazzling, sparkling ring. “We’re engaged.”“Oh my god,” my whispered, bringing her hand to her mouth. Her eyes were wide as she stared at the screen. In stunned silence, I stood, frozen to the spot.No, this wasn’t happening. It couldn’t be.Enzo was engaged to Giulia?That’s where he’d been going all this time? To secretly meet up with Giulia? But why?
