His tone had shifted—suddenly calm and dangerously soft. The sudden change was so jarring that every man in the room instinctively looked up at their Boss in shock.A moment ago, he had been fuming with rage, ready to execute them all over a single mistake. Now, he sounded as if the gun wasn't still gripped in his hand.Rosa whispered softly, “I am going home.”He sighed, his voice offering a rare touch of gentleness. “Let me drive you, then.” He tucked the gun into his waistband as he walked toward her.Reid, Luca, and Kane were ready to thank Rosa for saving them from the Don’s lethal rage; they knew that without her presence, they might not have survived the night. Though the Mafia King valued them more than his own life, when he wa

Luca was instantly anxious, his heart sinking. He assumed that because Lucy was Rosa’s friend, Luciano was forbidding the match out of spite or caution. “Why, Boss?”“Because her son already asked me to marry her,” Luciano deadpanned. “Technically, I was the first groom proposed for the position.”Luca’s face fell, his expression turning sour and unamused. Luciano, however, couldn't help but smirk, secretly enjoying the frustrated look on his bodyguard’s face. He was just getting a little payback for the ‘promotion’ talk earlier.“Boss, but you… you can’t marry her,” Luca whispered, his voice turning icy. He hated the very thought of Luciano marrying Lucy. He was beyond upset; he was furious with the Italian Don. If Luciano didn't drop this right now...But Luciano wasn't dropping it. He was enjoying this far too much. These men usually tested his patience, and now it was time for them to taste their own medicine. This was what happened when they didn't follow the Don's instructions pr

After dinner, Rosa tucked Renzo into bed. Later, under the dim glow of the living room lights, she and Lucy sat together, decompressing over hot cups of coffee.“I was shocked when Renzo said that,” Lucy said, bringing up the topic with a teasing smile.Rosa shook her head, letting out a heavy, weary sigh. “I swear, I was completely taken aback. It’s true what they say—children have a natural tendency to lean toward their fathers. That kid doesn’t even know Luciano is his father; he’s lived with me his entire life, yet out of all the men in the world, he chose him to be his dad.”Rosa shook her head once more, her expression one of pure disbelief.“It seems mother and son share the same taste,” Lucy teased.Rosa’s eyes widened in a mix of shock and irritation. “Shut up, Lucy. I don’t like that man.”“Right. Then who was the one blindly in love back then?” Lucy reminded her gently. She was the only one who remembered why Rosa had walked away from her education and her future to get marr

Renzo began scrambling to get out of the trolley, his small face set in a look of pure defiance and anger. Seeing this, Rosa quickly scooped him up into her arms, clutching him tightly to her chest. She held him firm, stopping him from wriggling out of her embrace, even as he looked ready to take on the world to defend her.“Mommy?!” Chiara and Laura both snorted, their voices thick with disgust and mockery. They looked down at the four-year-old boy and then back at Rosa, their expressions turning predatory as they realized they had uncovered her dirty secret.“So, you really are a whore,” Chiara remarked with a mocking sneer. “Having a bastard with no father.” Laura joined in, her laughter sharp and cold.

Rosa looked at her four-year-old son and then at Samuele, who had just made an already impossible situation so much more complicated. She scrambled to find an excuse, her mind racing to frame it all as a game—a story where the doctor was a hero helping them save the world. She hated the idea of lying to him, but the thought of crushing his spirit or admitting the ugly truth was even worse.But before she could weave another lie that would eventually break her heart, Samuele beat her to it.“I am your doctor, Renzo,” he said gently. Rosa’s eyes snapped to his, and he gave her a small, reassuring nod. He had seen the panic written all over her face and stepped in to anchor her.“Then why did you say I was your son back there?” Renzo questioned, a small frown creasing his face.“Because those people were bullying your mommy, I had to play along to protect her. You know, Renzo... sometimes a lie told for a good reason isn't a sin.”Suddenly, Renzo’s face fell. The light in his eyes vanish
