Elina was just a broke waitress trying to survive another double shift when a feared mafia boss entered carrying his baby son. The child supposedly rejected everyone—bodyguards, nannies, even family. But the moment he saw Elina, he reached desperately for her and refused to let go. When she finally held him, the baby instantly relaxed against her chest. His father went pale. “Only his mother could do that.” Then Elina noticed an old photograph behind the bar—and froze. The woman in it had her eyes, her smile…almost her exact face.

I stared at Victor's tattoo, the horrifying truth suddenly clicking into place.

Victor was the one who had murdered Isabella and framed a rival cartel for the explosion.

I quickly looked away, keeping my hands pressed firmly against Dante's bleeding shoulder to hide my realization.

Victor paced around the room, demanding answers from the guards with completely fake outrage.

Dante gritted his teeth, waving his brother away as the medical team finally arrived to take over.

Later that evening, I sneaked into Dante's recovery room while the nurses were on a break.

Dante was awake, looking pale but remarkably strong despite the heavy blood loss.

I locked the door behind me and handed him the hidden leather diary.

You need to read the last page, I whispered, terrified that Victor might be listening outside.

Dante read the elegant handwriting, his expression shifting from confusion to absolute devastation.

Isabella knew Victor was stealing millions from the syndicate accounts, Dante confessed softly.

I never believed she would betray me, but Victor convinced me she was planning to run away.

Dante looked up at me, tears glistening in his dark, dangerous eyes.

My brother killed my wife to silence her, and he killed Maria to keep you from finding out.

I sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out to gently hold his warm, calloused hand.

We will expose him, Dante, I promised, my fear completely replaced by a burning desire for justice.

Dante pulled me closer, his hand gently cupping my cheek.

He leaned in and kissed me, a passionate, desperate kiss that tasted like survival and hope.

For a brief second, the terrible world outside this room completely ceased to exist.

Suddenly, deafening alarm sirens began blaring throughout the entire estate.

Red emergency lights flashed through the windows, casting a bloody glow across the bedroom walls.

Dante grabbed his sidearm from the nightstand, ignoring the terrible pain in his shoulder.

Someone just used the master override codes to open the main security gates, Dante yelled.

When my newborn 'passed away,' my mother-in-law leaned in and said

“You’re Dead When We Get Home,” He Snapped

Victor did not just try to assassinate me today.

He brought a small army to finish the job.
