His Baby My Burden: The Mafia Rider's Claim
Rosa sits beside her, weaving a braid into her dark hair, her lips moving softly with a story I know I once heard in my own childhood.
“And the brave knight,” Rosa says, her voice low and melodic, “fought not for glory, but for the heart he cherished. For love.”
Sofia giggles. “Like Daddy?”
Rosa’s gaze flickers, just for a breath, toward me standing in the hall. Then she smiles, soft and practiced. “Yes, cuore mio. Like your Daddy.”
Something twists inside me. The warmth should comfort me. Instead, it burns.
Matteo appears behind me, silent as ever, one hand brushing my lower back in quiet greeting. His eyes fix immediately on Rosa, hard and unyielding.
