Bella’s hands tangled into the fabric of his shirt, gripping him tightly as if her very life depended on it. Her body surrendered completely in his arms while he devoured her mouth with unbridled passion.Just feet away, her colleagues chatted about mundane hospital routines, entirely unaware that a senior surgeon was kissing an intern behind the lockers—undoing her completely until her world spun and her knees felt weak.The raw danger of the situation sent a jolt straight through her blood. A violent surge of desire flooded her core, making her pull Samuele even closer, arching her body so her breasts pressed against the solid wall of his chest.Against her mouth, Samuele let out a low, amused smile at the sudden boldness of the little kitten in his arms.It was only after the locker room door finally clicked shut, and the doctors’ footsteps faded down the hall that Samuele broke the kiss. He pulled back just in time—right as Bella felt she might pass out from a lack of oxygen.She
When Samuele left Mancini Manor, he went straight to the hospital.It was far too early for his first morning rounds—so early that even the shift nurse who usually assisted him hadn’t arrived on the ward yet. But he didn't care. All he cared about was seeing the face he had yearned for all morning: Dr. Bella.He texted her, and she replied that she was still at the doctors' quarters, arriving in five minutes.Five minutes later, he texted again. She replied that she was in the locker room and would be in his office in five minutes.When another five minutes passed, and she still hadn't shown up, he decided to look for her himself.As he reached the doctors' locker room, a junior resident was just leaving. "Good morning, Dr. DeLuca," the doctor greeted him respectfully."Good morning," Samuele replied in his deep, cool voice, without slowing his pace for a second.He stepped inside, only to stop dead in his tracks.Bella was leaning against her locker, a soft smile on her face and her
"Because I still haven't forgiven myself for what I did to you," Luciano said quietly. "How can I forgive the people who caused you so much pain, baby?"Rosa sighed. She could hear the sincerity in his voice. If she forced him to forgive them, he probably would—for her sake—but it would only add another burden to the guilt he already carried. It was better to let him heal at his own pace."Okay," she said softly. "But... could you at least let them see Renzo?"Luciano narrowed his eyes at her, a warning look crossing his face."Rosie...""If you don't want to, I won't force you," she replied gently, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. "Your peace matters more to me than anything else."Luciano let out a slow breath."You need to understand something, Rosie." His voice turned firm. "Not everyone has a heart as kind as yours. I'll think about what you've said. I'll make sure my mother is taken care of financially and that she has everything she needs."He paused before adding,"But I
"I canceled the wedding because all of my fears came true the moment you stopped talking to me," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.Rosa lifted her head from his shoulder, staring at him in total disbelief.She hadn't been avoiding him out of anger—she had been drowning in grief. She’d spent weeks trying so hard to act normal in front of the world while quietly breaking apart inside. Only now did she realize that in her desperate attempt to survive her own pain, she had accidentally locked out the one person who needed her most."I thought..." Luciano forced the words past the tightness in his throat, "...maybe you never really wanted to stay."He turned his head to look at her, and the raw insecurity in his eyes made her chest ache."I remembered how I forced you to stay. I was the one who made you sign those marriage papers when all you wanted was to leave once Renzo's treatment was done."Rosa stared at him, stunned.Oh God... was that really what he had been carrying al
Luciano looked at his wife for a long moment before lowering his gaze to his coffee.For the first time, the Italian Don couldn't meet her eyes.The sight broke Rosa's heart.She knew the man sitting beside her was supposed to be formidable, impenetrable, and untouchable. Seeing him so utterly broken hurt her more than she could ever put into words.Even though it pained her to push him, she wanted him to finally open up—to let go of all the sorrow, guilt, and fears that had been eating away at him and slowly destroying their marriage.After a long silence, Luciano finally spoke."I... I'll call the wedding coordinator," he said quietly. "Tell her everything should stay as it was. The wedding will go ahead on the original date."Rosa gently shook her head and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze."I'm not asking about the wedding, Luciano." Her voice was soft but unwavering. "I'm asking why."She searched his face."What made you cancel it without even discussing it with me? What frighte
Rosa and Luciano walked back into the mansion together.By then, the household staff had arrived and were already busy preparing for the day. Rosa gave a few quick instructions for breakfast before heading upstairs to wake Renzo for school.Luciano followed her.Everywhere.She let him, secretly marveling at how completely she held his attention. Every time she looked over her shoulder, his eyes were already on her—and that soft, heart-melting smile refused to leave his face whenever he looked her way.He followed her into the bathroom while she helped their son brush his teeth. He leaned against the doorframe while she ran his bath. Then he lingered by the dresser as she helped Renzo get dressed.He simply refused to leave her side.Eventually, even four-year-old Renzo had enough."Daddy," he sighed, folding his little arms across his chest. "Don't you have work? You've been standing there staring at Mommy like a weirdo."Luciano rubbed the back of his neck, a sheepish smile breaking
Just as Luciano turned the corner, Rosa arrived at the other end of the hall. She saw his retreating back, but at that exact moment, Luciano turned around. Rosa froze.Pure, cold fear gripped her. She instinctively ducked against the wall, hiding behind a thick marble pillar. Luciano’s eyes swept th
Early that morning, Luciano’s grandmother’s condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. She began struggling to breathe and was rushed to the hospital immediately. As soon as Luciano received the news, he raced there.His grandfather was already by his wife's side, but the moment Luciano entered
Luciano had been furious with Rosa for lying to him. He had avoided going to see her because he knew he wouldn’t be able to control the monsters inside him—and he might end up hurting her.But that morning, when he heard she was going to Prose and Stanza, his anger turned into worry. He didn’t know
One hour earlier…Luciano was sitting in his car, with Luca driving them toward his office, when his phone rang. It was the man he had assigned to follow and guard Rosa.From the bodyguard, he learned that Rosa was on her way to her father’s publishing house. The news immediately put him on edge.“
