Chapter 1

When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the estate.My hand went instinctively to my stomach. The life that had been there was gone.I blinked, and tears fell in silence.A maid noticed I was awake and rushed out, beaming. "She's awake! I'll go get the Don!"I murmured his name. "Enzo Bianchi..."One last look at him. A final goodbye, and then I'd let go for good.The door swung open, revealing another face I knew all too well."Sophia? What are you doing here?"My sister wore a look of concern, shifting uncomfortably. "Enzo's still handling a deal at the docks. He really couldn't make it back, so he asked me to tell you he's sorry."I turned away. I wanted to laugh, but nothing came out.My husband couldn't come see me, and he'd sent another woman to apologize on his behalf."It's fine."My voice came out rough.Since I had already decided to leave, it didn't matter whether I saw him one last time or not.Sophia took my hand. "Are you still upset with me?"She lowered her head, gui

That evening, I ate a small meal and followed the doctor's orders to rest early.I was drifting off when I heard the door creak open.Familiar footsteps. Enzo.I didn't sit up. I kept pretending to sleep.He stood in the doorway for a while, then said softly, "Louisa, if you're still awake, can we talk? There are some things I need to say to you."Sophia must have already told him about the divorce.I was afraid he'd confront me, and even more afraid he'd simply agree, coolly and without feeling.I stayed still, feigning sleep.After what felt like an eternity, I heard him say, "I'm sorry..."He closed the door and left.I lay there with my eyes open, and it took me a long time to realize that those words had been his thoughts, not spoken aloud.I'm sorry. Again, I'm sorry.He had forgotten our dinner plans so he could go to the airport and pick up Sophia himself.I sat with the pregnancy report in my hands, waiting until the middle of the night.All I got was a phone call. "I'm sorry,

I clutched the blanket around me and sank to my knees on the floor.A dull thud echoed through the room.A maid upstairs heard the noise and came to check. She gasped when she found me and hurried to help me onto the bed."Don't worry, Donna. I'll call the Don and the doctor right away."I was drenched in sweat from the pain, but I grabbed her hand. "Don't!"Realizing how alarming my reaction must seem, I steadied my voice. "It's late. It's just an upset stomach. I don't need a doctor. Just go to the medicine cabinet and get me some painkillers.""But, Donna...""Do as I say!"I rarely raised my voice. The maid flinched and did as she was told.I warned her. "Don't tell Enzo about this. I don't want him to worry. And don't tell Ross either. If he finds out, Enzo will find out."I fixed her with a hard stare. "Do you understand? If you can't keep this quiet, I'll have you dismissed tomorrow."After she left, I sagged onto the bed, all my strength gone.After a while, I forced myself upr

I woke and reached instinctively for the left side of the bed. Empty.I opened my eyes slowly. Before the familiar ache could settle in, Enzo stepped out from behind the dressing screen."You fell asleep downstairs last night. Ross should have sent you up to bed sooner."He came closer and pressed his palm to my forehead. "No fever. Good. Just take it easy today, all right?"When I didn't respond, he frowned. "I'd like to talk about what's been going on. Would that be okay?"I pulled away from his hand.Just then, Ross's voice came from outside the door. "Don, one of the Gallo elders is on the line. He says it's urgent." Enzo called back, "Tell him I'm busy. I'll find him shortly."I spoke up. "I don't have anything to say. It's not urgent. Go take care of your business."I didn't know why, but the thought of being alone with him frightened me.Enzo seemed to sense my resistance.He leaned down, trying to kiss my forehead. I turned my head away.Enzo said nothing more. He gave a few pa

Even though I was inside, wrapped in a blanket, a chill seeped into my bones.I started coughing violently, doubling over as if I might cough up a lung.I lifted my head, my eyes bloodshot.The door was cracked open. Sophia hadn't closed it all the way when she left.I followed the silk scarf on the floor up to the woman standing over it, to a face I had known for more than twenty years."Why'd you go quiet?"The caller lost patience and hung up.Sophia looked panicked. "You heard that?"My eyes were red but my expression was blank. "Heard what?""Sophia..."Panic overtook her. She lunged and snatched the phone from my hand."How dare you switch my phone?"Instead of an explanation, I got accusations."You're the one who took the wrong phone. After that call, I didn't even touch it!"She insisted. "You still have no right to answer my calls without permission."I looked away. I almost laughed.I asked, "So are you going to explain, or not?"Sophia hesitated. "What exactly did you hear?

The bullet hit the floor at Enzo's feet."I'm leaving. I want a divorce."The words barely made it out of me.The gunshot instantly drew every guard on the estate.Heavy footsteps converged from all directions. Within moments, I was surrounded. Over a dozen guns pointed at me."Nobody fires without my order."Enzo stepped forward. I backed up several paces, pressed myself against the wall, and swept my gaze over every face in the room.The gun stayed trained on Enzo.Sophia's voice came out trembling. "Enzo..."I fired another shot at her feet.Every guard had their sights locked on me. Any one of them could have dropped me on the spot.My eyes were burning. "I want a divorce. Say yes."Enzo's expression was impossible to read. "Louisa...""Shut up. Don't say my name. Just answer the question. Yes or no.""Have someone get me a car and a large amount of cash. Right now!"Enzo frowned and started to speak, but another shot cut him off.Bang!The bullet struck my right shoulder. My hand

Chapter 7

The car vanished down the road. Enzo stared in that direction long after there was nothing left to see."Don, your wound needs immediate attention."Ross spoke carefully.Enzo shot him a cold look. Ross bowed. "You have every right to blame me. I'll accept whatever punishment you see fit. But your wound can't wait any longer."Enzo's chest heaved, but he forced himself back inside to the study.Sophia moved to follow, but Ross stopped her."Ms. Cattaneo, I'll need to ask you to stay in your room.""Rest?"Sophia's voice rose. "That's not rest. That's imprisonment! How dare you?""Enzo!"She called after him, but he kept walking as if he hadn't heard a thing.She tried to dodge the guards closing in."I'd like to see any of you try to touch me. When Enzo comes to his senses, every last one of you will pay for this!"Ross watched Enzo disappear into the house. "These are the Don's orders. Take her."Sophia screamed that it was impossible, but she was half-dragged, half-escorted away.A m

Chapter 8

Only Enzo and Ross remained in the study.When Sophia saw Enzo, tears welled in her eyes. She tore free from the guards."Enzo, those men locked me up. They said it was your order."She looked at him with wounded eyes and reached for his sleeve, but he stepped aside.Sophia froze. "What's the matter? Are you angry at me?"Enzo didn't spare her a glance. He gave Ross a slight nod and turned toward the window.Ross stepped forward and firmly pressed her into a chair, keeping her from lashing out."Enzo!"Her voice cracked with tears. "Don't do this. You're scaring me..."Enzo spun around. Sophia's face lit up and she started to speak, but he cut her off."You're scared?"Enzo took one step closer and leaned down.Sophia sensed that something was very wrong. She shrank back in her seat.After a stunned moment, she scrambled to put distance between them."You only think about your own fear. Did you ever stop to think about how scared she was that day?"Sophia blinked. "She? You mean Louisa

Chapter 9

"Sophia."Enzo spoke her name."If Louisa wants, I'll hand you over to her. If she's not interested, I'll have someone else handle you properly.""Every ounce of pain Louisa suffered, I will make you pay back a hundredfold."Sophia shrieked. "You wouldn't dare! I'm a Cattaneo. If I disappear, my family will come straight for you!"The corner of Enzo's mouth twitched. "Disappear? I'll simply let them know you went abroad.""Nobody's going to believe something that flimsy."Enzo nodded. "All right. Then I'll send you back and tell them you acted on someone's orders and opened fire inside the Bianchi estate, leaving Louisa and me seriously wounded.""Then they can decide for themselves whether you were trying to destroy the alliance between our two families."Sophia's lips began to tremble.Enzo took a forged handwritten letter from Ross. The penmanship was a perfect copy of Sophia's."I'll have this delivered to the Cattaneos along with travel records. They'll have very little reason to

A long time passed before he spoke, his voice strained. "Yes. I'll say my piece, and then I'll go.""And you won't come back? I don't need you picking apart my new life."He didn't answer that."During the kidnapping, I thought the kidnappers would assume the person I rescued first was the one who mattered most. My men had already infiltrated the building, and I believed they could get you out safely.""I wasn't fast enough.""I never had feelings for your sister. Not once. You could hear my thoughts. You know who I really loved.""The dog wasn't about Sophia. You were pregnant. I was worried about the effect on you.""And France? The fact I'd never gone was pure coincidence. I could take you there now.""The times I didn't come home, I was investigating the people behind the kidnapping. I thought seeing them punished would make you feel better.""That banquet, Sophia told me you'd asked her to go as my date. That's the only reason I agreed to take her.""The marks on her neck. I asked
