Alle Kapitel von Ex Luna's Revenge : Kapitel 41 – Kapitel 50

Chiara’s POV Ignoring Caterina’s remarks, we returned home, where I read until sleep finally claimed me. The next morning, I woke with a new resolve. I needed to approach Cesare’s condition from a different angle. Instead of continuing the endless arguments about the life extending medicine, perhaps I could help him using more conventional treatments. Standing in Cesare’s hospital room, disguised once again as Doctor B, I addressed his family calmly, explaining my plan of care. “You’ve already said he has limited time left,” Montgomery snapped. “Why waste that time on methods that may or may not work when the obvious solution is right there? If this is about compensation, Doctor B, I can assure you there is no limit to what we will pay for our father.” “Not everything is about money,” Matteo shot back sharply. “Quiet, Matteo. You’ve never understood,” Montgomery said. “How do we know,” one of the in laws asked suspiciously, “that you are not deliberately sabotaging one o

Chiara’s POV With the money and identification cards spread across my desk, I noticed there was one final item still inside the envelope. A letter. I pulled it out slowly and unfolded it. The handwriting was unmistakable. Luciano De Luca’s. It read: Whether you choose to remain with Nightfall or travel elsewhere, you and your child will forever be welcomed and respected here. These cards will ensure that you may always return. Sincerely, Alpha King Luciano De Luca My fingers tightened around the paper. Slowly, I lowered it back onto the desk and leaned into my chair, staring at the ceiling as I tried to steady my breathing. First, his apology. Then, his confession that he once believed I was Chiara. Now this. When I was finally alone, with the weight of it all settling over me, I could truly process what had just happened. Luciano knew I was pregnant. And instead of questioning me… he secured a future for my child. I did not know how long I sat there, replaying ever

Chiara’s POV I wanted to help Cesare Conti. But I wouldn’t be able to save him if I was dead. I glanced at Alessandro Conti—Cesare’s elder brother. He looked conflicted. Matteo Conti, however, did not hesitate. He grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the doorway. “What are you waiting for?” Matteo growled. “Move.” “Two floors up,” the security captain said quickly. “There’s a reinforced panic room behind one of the break rooms.” He eyed Matteo suspiciously but didn’t stop him. Perhaps he recognized a fellow soldier. Or perhaps Cesare’s reputation as a war hero shielded his family from doubt. “I trust Matteo,” I said firmly. Matteo shot me a brief, puzzled look. Since he didn’t know I was Chiara De Luca, my trust must have seemed misplaced. There was no time to explain. “Let’s go!” the captain ordered. Six guards surrounded us. The others pushed downward toward the stairwells to contain the mob. “We’ve shut down the elevators,” the captain said as we climbe

Chiara’s POV Once again, I found myself caught off guard by the kind of man Luciano De Luca truly was. Not for the first time, he had stepped forward to shield Doctor B from ruin. He had spoken with unwavering confidence, placed his authority on the line, and silenced a restless crowd with nothing but certainty in his voice. A part of me swelled with pride at standing beside such a leader. And yet, another part of me ached. When I had stood before him as Chiara, I had not received the same unshakable faith. He had not seen me then the way he now saw Doctor B. Perhaps I had not given him reason to. Or perhaps I had simply been invisible in ways I could never fully explain. The pride and the pain tangled together inside my chest, but there was no room to indulge either. Too much rested on what would happen next. Too many eyes were watching. Too many reputations—Luciano’s, Francesco’s, and my own—were balanced on a fragile thread. I could not retreat to my office to nurse old wound

Silvia Romano’s POV “Because of Doctor B’s abilities and her resolve to never give up, Cesare was able to decide for himself whether he wanted the life-extending medicine or not,” Luciano De Luca said on the television. “Because of this, she has saved us all from making a grave error.” This wasn’t how things were supposed to be. Luciano continued speaking, but Silvia started tuning him out, her anger spiking to new heights. She had coordinated with Carlo and the other Healers. They had contacted the World Healer Association, who were supposed to step in and stop Doctor B, not give her even more free rein! That Francesco had to be some kind of hack. Perhaps Doctor B was giving him sexual favors. Why else would he defend her like he did? No one would just support her like that. Now she was praised as a hero while Cesare was just going to die? What a joke! The worst of all of it was now, sitting here in the living room, listening to Luciano De Luca praise Doctor B. She didn’t deser
