We walked along the water's edge, the waves washing over our feet. The silence was no longer uncomfortable. It was... calm.

"Can I ask you something?" I said, breaking the silence.

"Anything," he said, turning to look at me.

"Why me?" I asked, the question that had been nagging at me for weeks. "Why did you agree to this marriage? I'm sure you could have had any woman you wanted."

He stopped walking and turned to face me.

"Because you're not just any woman, Bianca," he said. "You're

    B I A N C AI didn't sleep well that night. I kept tossing and turning, my mind racing with possibilities. Who would do this? And why?I was in the kitchen the next morning, pouring myself a cup of coffee, when Damian walked in. He was already dressed for work, a grim look on his face."Did you find out who it was?" I asked, my voice hopeful."We did," he said, pouring himself a cup of coffee. "And you were right. It wasn't Lucas."Relief washed over me, followed by a wave of confusion. "Then who was it?"He took a sip of his coffee, his eyes locking with mine. "We don’t know for sure. The person made sure to cover their tracks. It's a burner phone, purchased with cash. No way to trace it."My blood ran cold. "So, it could be anyone.""It could be," he said, a dark look in his eyes. "Which is why you're not going to be alone for the foreseeable future. And it’s a guy. If it isn’t Lucas, who could it be? It’s obviously someone who hasn’t gotten over you because of that ‘she was mine fi

    B I A N C AAs soon as the car door opened, Ian was the first to run out of the car and into my parent’s house. It was my parents' 40th wedding anniversary and we were celebrating at my childhood home."Grandma! Grandpa!" he yelled, his little legs carrying him as fast as they could.My mom appeared in the doorway, a huge smile on her face. "There's my big boy!" she said, scooping him up in a hug.My dad followed, ruffling Ian's hair. "Look at you, champ. Almost as tall as your old man."Ian giggled, squirming in my mom's arms. "I missed you!""We missed you too, sweetie," my mom said, kissing his cheek.We followed them inside, the house filled with the familiar scent of my mom's cooking and the sound of laughter."Damian, Bianca, it's so good to see you," my mom said, hugging us both."You too, Mom," I said, returning her hug."Happy anniversary," Damian said, shaking my dad's hand. "Forty years. That's incredible.""We've had our ups and downs," my dad said, a twinkle in his eye. "

    B I A N C A"Ian Leandre Moretti!" I yelled, my patience worn thin. "If you don't put your shoes on right now, we are going to be late for school!""I can't find them!" he yelled back from somewhere upstairs.I let out a frustrated sigh. This was our new morning ritual. A frantic search for a missing shoe, a lost sock, or a favorite toy that absolutely had to come with us."Mommy, have you seen my dinosaur?" he asked, running into the kitchen, his bare feet padding on the hardwood floor."Ian, we don't have time for dinosaurs," I said, pointing to the clock on the wall. "We have ten minutes to get out the door."He pouted, his lower lip trembling. "But I need him.""Fine," I said, giving in. "But we have to find your shoes and your dinosaur in the next five minutes, okay?""Okay!" he said, a wide grin on his face.He ran off again, and I shook my head, a small smile on my face. He was definitely my son.I found his shoes hiding under the couch, and with a little coaxing, we managed to

I asked, looking up from my computer."Your 12pm lunch meeting is in thirty minutes," she said. "And I have your schedule for the rest of the day right here."She handed me a piece of paper, her hand shaking slightly."Thank you, Emma," I said, taking the paper from her."You're welcome," she said, a small smile on her face.She turned to leave, but I stopped her."Emma," I said."Yes, Ms. Salvatore?" she asked, turning back to me."You're doing a great job," I said, a genuine smile on my face. "Don't be so nervous. I don't bite."A look of relief washed over her face. "Thank you, Ms. Salvatore," she said, a bright smile on her face. There was a small piece of lint on her blazer. The kind of thing that would have driven my old assistant, Sophia, crazy. But on Emma, it seemed... e
