Chapter 61

B I A N C AChloe left that afternoon after making me promise to call her if I needed anything. I told her I would be fine. That I just needed some space to think.The house was quiet again. But this time, the silence felt different. It wasn't empty. It was... thoughtful.I found myself walking into his study. The room was the perfect reflection of him. Sleek amd modern, with floor to ceiling windows. His desk was neatly arranged and on it, was a single photo frame.I picked it up. It was a picture of us, taken on our honeymoon. A photo of us inside the pool, looking like the picture perfect couple. My head was thrown back in laughter. His arm was wrapped around my waist, and he was looking at me with an expression of pure adoration.The memory was so vivid. I could feel the warmth of the sun on my skin as I tried to push him away. I remembered the way he had looked at me that day, like I was the only woman in the world.Had it all been a lie?Or had it been the truth?I traced my fing

B I A N C AThe next morning, I woke up to the sun streaming through the windows, warming my skin. I turned my head and saw Damian lying beside me, his eyes closed, his breathing slow.He looked so peaceful, so vulnerable in his sleep. The hard lines of his face were softened, and the usual furrow in his brow was gone.I reached out and gently traced the line of his jaw, my fingers barely touching his skin. He stirred, his eyes fluttering open."Hey," he said, his voice husky with sleep."Hey," I said back, a small smile playing on my lips.He reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear, his touch gentle. "How are you feeling?""Better," I said. "A little... sore."He chuckled darkly. "You were insatiable last night."I blushed, burying my face in the pillow. "You were no saint either."He laughed, a real genuine laugh that made my heart do a stupid little flip. It was the first time I had heard him laugh like that, and I realized I wanted to hear it again and again."W

B I A N C AAfter a weekend of playing house and getting to know each other again, really getting to know each other. It was finally time to get back to reality. The real world. The one outside our bubble.Damian had to fly to Milan for an emergency meeting with some investors. "I'll be back as soon as I can," he said, his arms wrapped around me, his head buried in my hair. "I promise.""I know," I said, my voice muffled against his chest. "Just... be careful. And call me when you land.""I will," he said, pulling away to look at me. "I love you, Bianca. More than you'll ever know."It pained me that I wasn’t able to say it back yet. Because I wasn’t sure it was what I felt yet. I wouldn’t want to mistake feelings for love, then say it out loud when I wasn’t sure. “I know.”A flicker of disappointment went through his eyes before he masked it with a small smile. "I'll see you soon."He kissed me one last time, then turned and walked out the door. I watched him get into the car and dr

Chapter 64

L U C A SMy grandmother had invited us all over for a family dinner. I wasn't in the mood to play happy families, but I had no choice. My grandmother didn't take no for an answer.The whole drive there, my mind was consumed with Bianca. Her rejection and her refusal to even entertain the possibility of us getting back together. It was like a slap in the face.Natalia sat beside me in the car, her hands clasped in her lap. Her was gaze fixed on the window. She hadn't said a word to me since I'd gotten back from seeing Bianca.She knew. Of course, she knew. She always knew when my head was somewhere else. When it was with Bianca."You're still thinking about her, aren't you?" she asked, unable to hide the disdain in her voice.I didn't answer. I just kept my eyes on the road."That bitch," she seethed. "She has you wrapped around her little finger, doesn't she? After everything I've done for her. After everything I've given you.""You don't know what you're talking about," I said, my vo

L U C A SNatalia’s face went beet red. I could feel the tension at the table. I wanted to disappear. I wanted to be anywhere but here."Grandmother, I—" Natalia started to say."No," Nonna said, cutting her off. "I don't want to hear it. I've had enough of this drama. I'm an old woman. I just want to have a peaceful dinner with my family. Can we at least do that? I'm sorry if I have hurt you, Natalia. But it's the truth. Moving forward, how are the wedding preparations coming along?"Natalia's eyes lit up at the mention of the wedding. She loved talking about it. She loved the attention. She loved the idea of being my wife.I would have loved it a few months ago. But I already lost so much as a result of my reckless decision. I couldn't even fucking afford a grand wedding. I had to ask Bianca, because she was now the owner of my own company.How pathetic."They're going great," she said, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "We've finally decided on a venue. It's a beautiful castl

B I A N C A"I need some money."I rose my head from the document I was reviewing and looked up at Natalia, who was standing in front of my desk with her arms crossed, looking smug. This was our first interaction after my break up with Lucas. "What are you doing here, Natalia?" I asked, trying to keep my irritation in check. "And why on earth would I give you money?""Oh, I think you know why," she said, a sly smile playing on her lips. "You know about my little shopping habit. And I need to maintain my image as the future Mrs. Hart. Can't have people thinking I'm poor, can we?"The audacity. "Your little shopping habit is not my problem. You have a rich fiancé. Go ask him for money.""Lucas has cut me off," she said, her smile faltering for a second. "He's being a jerk. He said I need to learn the value of money. Can you believe that? Me? Learning the value of money? I'm a Rossi. I don't need to learn the value of money.""Then I suggest you get a job," I said, turning my attention

Chapter 67

B I A N C A"Then what?" I leaned back on my chair, smirking. I was starting to enjoy this. The power I had over him."My wedding is in a few weeks. I don't have enough to pay the wedding planner." He finally admitted.I burst out laughing. I couldn't help it. The sight of Lucas, the former CEO of this company, begging me for money to pay for his wedding, was just too much."Are you serious?" I asked, wiping tears of laughter from my eyes. "You want me to pay for your wedding? The wedding where you're marrying the woman you cheated on me with? The woman who tried to ruin my life? You've got some nerve, Lucas.""You’re not getting it, are you?" He finally snapped, his jaw tight. "This wedding is not just about me and Natalia. It's about our families. It's about our reputation. And you, being the CEO of this company, have a responsibility to uphold that reputation.""I have a responsibility to my company, not to your ego," I said, my voice cold. "And if you can't afford to pay for your o

B I A N C AI walked into my last meeting for the day. The team were filled with excitement. We were finally ready to launch the new company in Asia. Months of hard work, of late nights and early mornings were about to pay off.It was the best feeling in the world, being able to see something I had helped build from the ground up, flourish. It was my own success story, my own legacy."Alright, team," I said. "Let's go over the launch strategy one more time. I want this to be perfect."The next hour was spent doing presentations, discussions and brainstorming. By the end of it, we had a solid plan in place."Great work, everyone," I said, a wide smile on my face. "I'm so proud of all of you. This is going to be a huge success."The team cheered, their faces beaming with pride. I couldn't help but feel a sirge of pride. It seems like, I had done a good job by sacking my father’s old employees after all.I had younger and more innovative people working for me now. People who were not afra

B I A N C A"Yes, punished," he said, closing the distance between us. He gently took the roses from my hands and placed them on a nearby table. "For every second you don't say it back, I'll think of a different way to make you scream my name instead."Before I could respond, he scooped me up into his arms and carried me up the stairs. I wrapped my arms around his neck, burying my face in the crook of his shoulder. He smelled amazing, like sandalwood and clean laundry.We finally made it to our bedroom. He gently laid me down on the bed, his eyes dark with desire."You drive me crazy, Bianca," he said, his voice a low growl. "You have no idea what you do to me.""Show me," I challenged. "Show me just how crazy I drive you, Damian."He didn't need to be told twice. He crashed his lips against mine, the kiss hungry and demanding. I melted into him, my hands tangling in his hair. He tasted of wine and mint, a combination that made my head spin.His hands roamed my body, tracing every curv

Chapter 70

B I A N C ADamian's expression hardened instantly. The relaxed, loving look in his eyes vanished, replaced by a cold expression. "Who?" I told him everything. About finding the bug in the server room, about John's call, about the tracker in my car. "Lucas," he growled, his hands clenching into fists at his sides. "I'm going to kill him.""We don't know for sure it's him," I said, though I had a strong suspicion it was. Or Natalia. They were a team, after all."Who else could it be, Bianca?" he asked, his voice dangerously low. "He threatened you. He was in your office today. This has his stink all over it. He's crossing a line. A very dangerous line.""I know," I said, my mind racing. "But we can't prove anything. Yet. We need to be smart about this. We can't just confront him without evidence.""Fuck being smart," he snarled, getting out of bed and starting to pace. "He's tracking you. He knows where you are. He could have been watching us. Watching us just now."The thought made
