Scarlet’s POVAs I slowly fluttered my eyes open, the dim moonlight filtering through the curtains illuminated the room. The soft rustle of sheets and the warmth of Ryan’s body pressed against mine reminded me of the passionate afternoon we had shared.We had made love over and over again all afternoon, and the intimacy had left me feeling a sweet ache in my body, a perfect blend of desire and satisfaction.Ryan’s peaceful sleeping form lay beside me, his features softened in the gentle glow of night. His chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm, and his arms were securely wrapped around me. I couldn’t help but admire him in this vulnerable state, a sense of admiration and contentment washing over me.The conflicting emotions swirling in me left me breathless, and I couldn’t quite pinpoint what this newfound connection with Ryan meant. I knew I couldn’t say I was in love with him; that would be too extreme, but what I felt for him at the moment wasn’t just physical attraction, it ran de

Third-Person PovScarlet sat back in the passenger seat, her eyes wide with wonder, as the luxurious surroundings outside the car window glided past in a blur. The anticipation of meeting Lizzy’s family, especially her son and Ryan’s nephew, who would automatically also be her nephew, had filled her with a bubbling excitement that mingled with a touch of disbelief.She had been so excited when Lizzy had called while she and Ryan were shopping for clothes and accessories, especially since she couldn’t remember the last time she’d been invited for dinner as a part of a family.After about thirty minutes of driving, Ryan guided the car to a stop in front of a grand gate that led to a sprawling estate, its magnificence evident in every detail.The sheer magnitude of the house looming before them left Scarlet in stunned silence, her gaze flickering between Ryan and the impressive structure.“Is this really Lizzy’s house?” she asked in a voice tinged with disbelief, her astonishment clear i

Third Person POV.“Welcome, sister Elena,” Lizzy greeted with a small smile, watching as Elena’s eyes scanned the room.She had on her typically frightening expression, and even though Lizzy had invited her for a reason, she couldn’t help but worry that she might have played with fire and would end up getting burned.“Stefano, take the child upstairs. I have a bone to pick with someone in this room,” Elena instructed as soon as she noticed that Ryan was also in the room.Ryan groaned in frustration as soon as he heard Elena’s words. He wished he could be surprised that those were her first words as soon as she walked in, but nothing Elena did surprised him anymore. He just knew his bitter and all-knowing big sister was about to ruin his mood for another month, if not longer.Scarlet, on the other hand, was totally confused. She stared at Elena with a bewildered look on her face, wondering why Ryan couldn’t just tell her once and for all how many siblings he had. First, it was Lizzy, a

Third Person POV.“You can think I’m afraid of him, Elena. But I’m not afraid of that idiot, and he has no power over me. I hate him for what he did to me and Giorgia, and I’ll make him pay for everything. It’s that simple,” Ryan retorted, struggling to sound confident with his words.“Giorgia… another root cause of evil,” Elena blurted out, causing both Lizzy, Ryan, and Scarlet to stare at her with confused looks on their faces.“You better not speak ill of Giorgia, Elena. She’s a no-go area,” Ryan warned.“She’s a no-go area? And why’s that? Because she’s dead? So, because she killed herself, I’m not allowed to talk about it as freely as I want to?” Elena retorted.Lizzy hissed back in response. “She’s your youngest sister, Elena. Just leave her out of this conversation. Aren’t you tired?”“Point of correction: she was my sister, Lizzy. Now she’s dead, and forgive me if, unlike you guys, I don’t blame myself for what happened to her,” Elena fired back at her with a nonchalant look o

Third Person POV.Lizzy stood amid the aftermath, her gaze sweeping over the scattered mess in the dining area. She eyed the untouched food on the table, the remnants of a family dinner that had spiraled into chaos. Turning to face Elena, her expression a mix of disappointment and frustration, Lizzy couldn’t hold back her words any longer.“You really messed up this time, Elena. You went too far.” Her voice was tinged with a hint of exasperation, her eyes locking on Elena’s in a silent challenge.Elena simply shrugged, a nonchalant expression gracing her features as she feigned ignorance.“What did I do wrong?” Elena’s question cut through the tension, a hint of defiance in her tone as she met Lizzy’s accusing gaze head-on.Lizzy gestured toward the chaos around them. “In case you didn’t realize, you went off like a madwoman back there, and you gave Ryan even more reason to run from you for the rest of his life.”Elena’s response was a dismissive scoff, her confidence unwavering as sh
