Author’s POV

The black car moved slowly as it entered the road leading to the house. Alexandro sat in the back seat, his black suit jacket already removed, his tie loosened around his neck. Marco drove calmly, occasionally glancing at the rearview mirror, observing his boss’s unreadable expression.

But in front of the gate, the car stopped.

Marco looked ahead, then turned slightly. “Sir, there’s another car parked in front.”

Alexandro lifted his head. On the side of the road, right in front of

    "You just gave birth to our children. Your body just went through a struggle that almost took your life. And you're already talking about diets?"I looked down, unable to meet his eyes. I knew he was right. But I couldn't control how I felt. Every time I saw my reflection in the mirror, I saw a stranger's body. My stomach was still bloated, my skin was loose, and there were stretch marks adorning my belly and hips. I felt ugly."I can't accept this. I don't want you to see me like this," I said.Alexandro let out a long sigh. He got up from the bed, then walked over to the large mirror in the corner of the room. He patted the spot next to him, gesturing for me to come closer."Come here," he said.I hesitated for a moment, but finally walked over to him. When I stood beside him in front of the mirror, he placed his hand on my shoulder and made me look at our reflection."Look at this, Lulu. Look at what I see."I looked at our reflection reluctantly. There, I saw a tall, sturdy man wi

    Lucia's Pov.I turned, looking at Alexandro with eyes that were still wet. His words surprised me a little. Over the past few days, we hadn't had a chance to discuss our babies' names.Everything had been too busy with grief, with the funeral, with Rosa and Sofia leaving, with my body's slow recovery. But now, on this quiet night, he suddenly brought up names."What names?" I asked, trying to smile even though my heart was still heavy."I want to give them names that mean something. Names that will remind them of our struggle. Of our love. Of everything we've been through.""What names did you have in mind?""For our son, I want to name him Alessandro. Alessandro De Luca Jr. But not just that. I want to add a middle name that means 'strength.' Because he was born from struggle. Because his mother almost died to give birth to him."I smiled. "Alessandro. A strong name.""But for our daughter, I want to give her a softer name. Something that reflects light. Because she is the light in t

    Lucia's Pov.The car drove slowly away from the cemetery. I sat in the back seat, holding Sofia who had fallen asleep in my lap. Rosa sat beside me, her eyes still red, but she wasn't crying anymore. She just stared blankly out the window, as if her mind was drifting far away to a place I couldn't reach.Alexandro sat in the front seat, beside Marco who was driving. He didn't say a single word the entire trip. I could see his tense back from behind the seat and feel the sadness still enveloping him.When we arrived at the mansion, Davina was already waiting at the front door. Her face was full of concern, but she smiled when she saw us get out of the car."Welcome back. I've prepared warm food for everyone.""Thank you, Davina," I said.I took Sofia and Rosa inside. I led them to the room that had been prepared, the same room they had been staying in for the past few days. I helped them change clothes, cleaned their faces, and laid them down on the bed."Rest now. You're tired."Sofia

    Lucia's Pov.I saw Rosa shake her head slowly. Her swollen eyes looked at me with confusion, like a little child who didn't understand why the adult world was so complicated and full of sadness. I reached for her hand, holding it gently."I don't know. My Dad never talked about a laptop. He just often carried his work bag everywhere."I looked at Alexandro, his face tense. I knew he was disappointed. I knew he had hoped Rosa could give him a clue about Fabio's laptop. But sometimes, hope didn't always match reality."We're going to the funeral tomorrow. You and Sofia will come with us to see your parents off," I said.Rosa looked down. Her tears fell again, dripping down her small cheeks. I hugged her, letting her cry in my arms. Sofia, sitting beside me, also cried seeing her sister cry. I hugged them both, trying to give them the warmth they needed."You're not alone. We'll always be here for you," I said.The next day, we went to the funeral. The sky was overcast, as if it was grie

    Alexandro's Pov.I stood in front of the ICU room, staring at Fabio's lifeless body. The nurses covered his face with a white sheet. The machines that had been blaring were now silent.Fabio was gone. My friend, a doctor, the man who always annoyed me with his jokes, was now gone. I couldn't hold back the tears streaming down my cheeks.Marco approached from behind."Sir, my condolences."I nodded without speaking. I couldn't speak. My voice was gone. All I could do was stare at Fabio's still body, remembering all our memories together. When he laughed at my jealousy over Lucia. When he teased me about my married life. When he patiently explained Lucia's complicated health condition. He was always there. Now he was gone.I took a long breath."Marco, handle all the funeral expenses. I want Fabio and his wife buried together. One casket, one headstone. They should always be together.""Yes, sir. I'll take care of everything.""And his laptop. Fabio said the laptop was at his house, und

    Alexandro's Pov.Fabio's condition remained critical for the next two days. I went back and forth from the hospital to the mansion, from the mansion to the hospital. Every time I was by his bedside, I hoped to see his eyes open. But all I saw was his body lying still, surrounded by tubes and machines blinking with monotonous green numbers.The little girl, his daughter named Sofia, started to get used to my presence. She was still quiet, still rarely spoke, and often cried at night. But she started to eat, started to bathe, and started to play with Davina in the garden. Lucia, who was already recovering, often kept Sofia company, reading her stories, drawing with her.I watched how Lucia cared for Sofia with such tenderness, like she was her own child. I smiled seeing that. Lucia truly had a big heart.But deep in my heart, there was a worry that kept gnawing at me. Who did this to Fabio? Davian? Or someone higher than Davian? I couldn't confirm yet. But I knew, when Fabio woke up, he

    The priest began to recite the prayer in a steady voice that echoed throughout the church. I stood still beside Alexandro, my hands feeling stiff as I held the bouquet. The scent of lilies was too strong, almost making me dizzy."We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Alexandro De Lu

    I showed him everything I had learned from Mira.I sat on his lap, both arms wrapped around his neck. My breath was slow, rhythmic, exactly as Mira taught. "Breathing is the key," she said before. "Proper breathing can make a man lose control."I whispered in his ear. "Where do you want me to start

And every night, I waited.Alexandro did not come home.Around ten at night, I heard a car in the driveway. My heart pounded wildly.I ran to the window. The black car was p

    At nine fifty, I was already sitting in the living room, my heart pounding. The simple house dress I was wearing didn't feel like enough. I twisted the hem of my clothes and waited.Right at ten o'clock, Mira arrived.Today she looked different. Still beautiful, still graceful, but her clothes were
