Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back: Kabanata 551 - Kabanata 560

Luigi’s POVCorloni?My mind spun. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why in the world my mother needed to talk to me about Corloni.He was gone. He’d left yesterday morning. Apparently, he’d snuck Giulia out of prison. At first, I’d panicked when I’d heard that Giulia had escaped. Knowing what she was capable of, I felt like I was being plunged right back into the same old nightmare.But my mother told me that Corloni had taken her, and that I had nothing to worry about. That had alleviated my thoughts a little, since I knew that Corloni wouldn’t allow her to come near me.I assumed I’d never hear from Corloni again, now that the ordeal was over. It wasn’t exactly like we ran in the same social or business circles, and he was an ocean away.So I found it really odd that Corloni was the topic of this conversation.“What about him?” I asked, still holding my mother’s hands. She slipped her hands out from under mine and reached up to fix a loose pin in her hair. Then she clamped h

Luigi’s POVWillow stepped out of the room and my breath hitched in my throat. How was it even possible for someone to be so beautiful?“Ready?” she asked, giving me her hand. Her blush pink silk dress cut low in the front and fit her snuggly around the waist. Glancing down, I saw the baby bump that had started really showing. I placed my hand over it and smiled.I couldn’t wait to see what she looked like when she was fully pregnant. Just as I couldn’t wait to hold our babies for the first time. Sometimes I felt like I should pinch myself, like I was living in some sort of fairy tale dream. With Willow by my side, I knew that my future would be nothing but happiness.She was the woman of my dreams, and I felt so fortunate for her every single day.It had only been a couple of weeks since I’d been released from jail, but it felt like a lifetime. It had been a whirlwind of activity as we got my mother settled and helped Logan and Sasha prepare for their departure to Italy.It hadn’t tak

One Year LaterWillow’s POVMy stomach was a bundle of nerves, although I had no idea why. Turning to the mirror, I glanced at Adonis in the reflection.“Do I look okay?” I asked, biting my lip.“No,” he replied, shaking his head. “You look better than okay. You look positively perfect.”My eyes scanned along my reflection. My floor length satin wedding dress was tied around the waist with a blush taffeta sash. The full skirt billowed out, accentuating my small waist. It hadn’t been easy to get my figure back after the birth of the twins, but as I gazed at my reflection, I had to admit that I’d done a pretty good job of getting my pre-pregnancy figure back. The dress was strapless and the diamond necklace around my neck glittered under the lights.The necklace had been a ‘push’ present from Luigi. He’d presented it to me right after I gave birth, and I had saved it for this very day…my wedding day.Adonis came up behind me with my veil in his hand. He placed it on my head and then smoo

Third Person POVLogan knew that Luigi was nervous and trying not to show it. Logan found it endearing, that after everything Willow and Luigi had been through, he was still nervous about marrying her. It was sweet really, Logan thought to himself as he made his way with Luigi down the petal-strewn aisle to the front of the crowd.The vineyard looked fantastic, with massive bouquets of flowers everywhere, their sweet scent thick in the air. The sky was perfectly blue without a cloud in sight and the sun was warm but not hot. Rows of chairs looked out over the vineyard where the Justice of the Peace was waiting.It was a small wedding, exactly what Willow had wanted. Logan couldn’t help but remember his own wedding to Willow, and the differences between the two weddings. Theirs had been huge, with more than 400 guests packed into an ornate ballroom at a prestigious hotel downtown. But looking back on it, Logan realized that it hadn’t really been Willow’s style.This wedding was much mo

Willow’s POVThe moment Luigi placed his hand in mine, I felt calm. I hadn’t been feeling so calm before that moment though. My nerves had started to get the better of me as I walked down the aisle. All eyes were on me, which only exacerbated the situation.What if I tripped? What if I messed up the vows? My mind had started to spin. I’d waited so long for this day, and I wanted everything to be perfect.But Luigi’s warm, strong hand in mine instantly calmed me. My mind flashed back to the first time I met him, out on the street that day, while Beatrice and Logan sat inside the restaurant at my birthday dinner. It was the first time we’d met Mira, who Beatrice had named Zoe at the time, claiming that she had found her at an orphanage. That was the night Logan asked for a divorce so he could marry Beatrice and help with her adoption of Mira (Zoe).What if that hadn’t happened? What if Logan had never asked for that divorce? What if I had never met Luigi?These thoughts swirled through
