Chapter 1

Marcelina~Dom Vitali was going to be the man to give me my baby.The thought landed in my head fully formed and terrifying, like a diagnosis you do not want but already understand. It did not come with emotions like lust or desire. It came with certainty, and that scared me more than guilt ever could.I glanced at the tablet in my hand, even though I’ve already memorized every line of his report. This appointment was a follow-up, and unfortunately, it was the last. The foundation was laid during the first meeting weeks ago, involving baseline scans, cognitive testing, and reaction time assessments amongst many others. Today was supposed to be another routine.But it wasn't."Let's continue," I said, tapping my tablet to wake the screen. "Have the headaches increased since our last session?""Same,""Frequency?""Does it matter?"There we go again.I forced my face into something neutral and looked up at him. "Yes,""Then no,"I made a note anyway. He always did that. Like this was ju

Chapter 2

Marcelina's POV The moment the door closed behind me, I broke. Thankfully, the hallway was empty and quiet, but I barely noticed anything else as I walked down fast, wiping my cheeks with the back of my hand like that would fix it. But it didn't. And the tears didn't stop either. "Get it together, Marcel," I muttered under my breath, swiping angrily at my face again.My chest felt too tight, like I had been holding my breath for weeks without realizing it. And I hated myself for it. I hated that I had just lost one chance I had allowed myself to imagine.I wasn't like this.I didn't fall apart in hallways or cry at all—not anymore. But here I was, stopping right in the middle of the hallway because I couldn't bring myself to walk anymore.Pressing my palm against the cool wall, I bent my head and drew in a slow breath. Then another. I counted them like I always did years ago. "Four in, hold, four out." And just like that, I was sixteen again.My mother had been brilliant.That was

Chapter 3

Marcelina's POV The sound of his voice sent a shiver through me. It was low and rough, like a warning wrapped in temptation, like something that knew exactly how much damage it could do and didn't care."You say that like you were expecting me.""I was," he replied simply.That should have scared me. It did scare me. But it also sent a slow shiver through my spine especially when he turned us smoothly, guiding me backward until the edge of the table pressed into my lower back.He stepped in close, his body blocking every exit. With one hand braced on the table beside my hip, the other rested at my waist like a warning."No one walks into my office without an appointment, Doc," he said quietly, dangerously. "And no one barges in like you just did."My heart was beating so hard I was sure he could feel it. I swallowed, my throat suddenly dry, and my hands hanging uselessly at my sides. I should have thought this through. I should have known this would not unfold like the movies, where

Chapter 4

Marcelina's POV Inside my head, I was doing something very close to a victory dance.No, scratch that, it was a full celebration. Confetti, music, fireworks. The kind of ridiculous happiness I had not let myself feel in years.I was finally getting my child.A baby. Mine.I did not care if it was a boy or a girl. I did not care if they had his dark gray eyes or my stubborn mouth. I would love them anyway. I would love them completely. I was already thinking of names, too many names. Lily, Adrian, Bloom, Tristan. I filed them away carefully, like precious little things I needed to take very good care of later.I was so lost in it that I did not notice the tears. Not until his voice cut through my thoughts."If you're planning on crushing my waist, you might want to be ready for another round of evaluation."Reality snapped back into place.Oh.My legs.They were still locked tight around him.Heat rushed to my face as I quickly unwrapped myself, nearly tripping in the process. "Oh G

Chapter 5

Marcelina's POVCorey studied my face. "That sounds messy."No, it wasn't. But even as I wanted to say that, my throat suddenly felt tight."So... this patient..." Corey stared at me like I'd just confessed to robbing a bank. "Let's get this straight.""He gave me my baby," I admitted quietly. "It wasn't planned like a romance. No dinners, no flirting, no build-up. He didn't know about the baby part. He thought it was just... sex."She said nothing at first.She only whistled, smiled, and shook her head. But then, she asked. "Do you... feel guilty?"The question surprised me.I thought about it. About his face, his voice, the way he looked at me like he saw more than I wanted him to. Of course, I felt guilty. But it couldn't erase what had already happened."I feel relieved," I said instead.For a second, she said nothing. Then, "Do I know this man?""He's well known," I mean, who didn't know Dom Vitali?"Damn," she said, her grin turning wicked. "You really went all out and got your

Chapter 6

Marcelina's POV I exhaled slowly and folded my trembling hands on the bar, pressing my fingers together to stop the shaking. Of all the things I've been in my life, a liar and a thief has never been one of them.Until now.The silence between us stretched, heavy and dangerous. I knew then that this was turning into something else. Something I wouldn't be able to control if I didn't put some distance between us."I should get going," I said, keeping my voice steady and professional. Like this was nothing more than an awkward encounter. "If you have concerns about my conduct as your doctor, you're welcome to address them formally. Otherwise, I don't see the point of this conversation."With that being said, I slid off the bar stool and reached for my purse, careful not to rush or look at him. He didn't stop me. And that alone scared me more than if he had.Every instinct screamed at me to leave. To walk straight out of the club and never look back. But I couldn't just disappear without

Chapter 7

Marcelina's POVAt the sound of that deep, smooth, and achingly familiar voice, I froze. My stomach dropped first. Then came the cold rush down my spine. My heart followed, plummeting so fast it felt like it had shattered against the floor.No.It couldn't be.He couldn't be the boss they had mentioned.He couldn't be the man running everything I had just walked past.My fingers slowly fell away from the door handle. And just as slowly, I turned around. At first, I saw nothing but shadows. Then my eyes adjusted.He was standing in the darkest part of the room, right in front of the floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the city. The lights from outside framed him in a muted glow, but his face remained hidden, swallowed by the dimness.That was why I hadn't seen him when I first walked in.Now that I looked closer, I could make out his tall silhouette, broad shoulders, and hands tucked lazily into his pockets. He was still and unmoving, as if he had all the time in the world.He had

Chapter 8

Marcelina's POV"Can you... Can you take a step back?" I asked, my voice barely steady.But he didn't move.Not an inch.The silence that followed told me everything. He wasn't interested in my comfort or fear. And he definitely wasn't interested in another lie."I was desperate," I blurted out, forcing myself to meet his eyes. "I wanted a baby so badly."I tried to hold his gaze, but it was hard. There was something lethal behind it now. And it scared the living hell out of me."I promise it doesn't have anything to do with you," I continued. "You were never supposed to know." His jaw tightened.My heart skipped."I knew what I was doing was wrong," I admitted, forcing the words out clearly. "But I was too desperate to care." The silence that followed was heavy and pressing."So you used me," he said at last."No," I answered quickly. "No, I would never use anyone. I thought of you as a... a donor."The second the word left my mouth, I knew it was the wrong one. What came after wa

Chapter 9

Domenico's POV"Wait. What?" Her voice cut through the room, sharp with disbelief.I didn't answer immediately. Instead, I watched her.The shock on her face. The way her fingers tightened around the strap of her bag. The faint tremor in her shoulders that she was trying very hard to hide.She truly hadn't expected this.Good.She's in for more surprises."You heard me," I said calmly, despite the storm brewing in my chest. Her eyes widened. "You can't be serious"My gaze drifted briefly to her stomach before returning to her face. I didn't waste time repeating myself because that single glance was enough to let her know I meant every single word."No, you're not taking me anywhere," she said, shaking her head as if that alone could undo what I had just said. "And I am certainly not going to fucking Italy with you,"I said nothing, letting her argue with the belief it could change things."I will raise my child here," She went on, stubbornness sharpening every word. "You don't have t

Chapter 10

Marcelina's POVI woke up with a stiff neck and a dull ache running down my back. And for a moment, I didn't remember where I was. But then the ceiling of my living room slowly came into focus, and I realized I was lying on the couch.Everything hurts.My body felt heavy, like I had run a marathon and collapsed halfway through, my legs ached from standing for hours in Mr. Vitali's office, my arms were sore from struggling with the men he had ordered to take me home, and even my shoulders felt tight, like the stress of the night had settled deep into my bones.All at once, memories from the previous night rushed back. Dom Vitali's cold voice, his threats, his men grabbing my arms when I refused to leave.Squeezing my eyes shut, I groaned softly. I had fought them at first. Kicked, twisted, argued, and demanded they let me go. But they were stronger. And after a while, my body simply gave up. By the time they pushed me into the back of the car, I was too tired to keep fighting. I curl
