THE PAST (SPECIAL CHAPTER)

Bianca did not tell Marco immediately.Not because she was hiding it, and not because she was afraid of what he would say, but because she needed time to understand her new life first before bringing someone from her old life into it again, even if Marco was one of the few people she still trusted completely. She had spent so many years trying to separate the two parts of her life, the world of danger and power and loss, and the quiet world she built near the sea, and now that she was about to become a mother, she wanted to be sure that the life she was building would remain peaceful and far away from everything that once destroyed so many people she cared about.Adrian noticed that she had been thinking a lot again, the same way she used to when they first met, when she would look at the ocean for long periods of time as if she was remembering something she never talked about, and although he never forced her to tell him about her past, he always knew there was more to her story than

A LETTER NEVER SENT (SPECIAL CHAPTER)

Months passed slowly, but for Bianca, time no longer felt heavy or empty the way it once did, because every week that passed brought change, small changes at first, then more visible ones, until the life growing inside her was no longer just an idea or a quiet secret, but something real that she could feel, something that reminded her every single day that her life was moving forward whether she was ready or not.Her mornings became slower, her walks shorter, and Adrian became more careful with everything, always making sure she ate on time, rested enough, and never carried anything heavy, and sometimes she would laugh at how serious he looked when he talked about things like vitamins and doctor appointments, because she had seen men lead wars without looking as focused as he did when he talked about taking care of her and the baby.One afternoon, while Adrian was out buying groceries in town, Bianca sat alone near the window with a notebook in front of her, staring at the blank page

A SUDDEN FEAR (SPECIAL CHALTER)

The afternoon had started like any other quiet day, slow and ordinary in the way Bianca had come to love, because there were no urgent calls, no unexpected problems, and no reason to rush through anything, just a simple plan to go out, walk around, and enjoy something as normal as spending time in a place filled with strangers who had no idea who she was or what kind of life she had once lived.The mall was busy but not overwhelming, filled with the usual mix of families, couples, and people moving from one store to another, carrying shopping bags and talking about things that felt small but important in their own way, and Bianca found herself watching them more than she expected, noticing how natural everything looked, how effortless it was for people to live lives that were never touched by the kind of past she carried.Adrian walked beside her, holding a few bags in one hand while keeping his other hand ready near her, not in a controlling way, but in the quiet, instinctive way he

THE NAME (FINAL CHAPTER)

After four weeks.....the night Bianca went into labor, the rain was falling softly outside, not the kind of storm that frightened people or flooded streets, but the quiet kind that made the world feel slower, calmer, as if everything was waiting for something important to happen.She woke up because of the pain.This time it was different from the one in the mall, different from the false alarm that had sent them to the hospital weeks before, because this pain did not disappear after a few minutes, and it did not feel like tightening that came and went without warning, but something deeper, something stronger, something that made her sit up slowly in bed and press her hand against her stomach as she tried to breathe through it.Adrian woke up when he heard her breathing change, and when he opened his eyes, he immediately saw the expression on her face and knew this was not like the last time.“Bianca,” he said softly, sitting up quickly. “Is it time?”She nodded slowly, her face tense
