Diego's POV I watched her intently, sensing she was carefully choosing her words, saying what she thought I wanted to hear. There had to be a limit to how much she could tolerate.I knew exactly what to ask to break down the walls she'd built around her emotions. Jake Marino. Couldn't she just forget about the damn guy?"Heard from Jake lately?" I inquired casually.She lowered her spoon, surprise flickering across her face. "What?""He's facing some challenges, I heard," I said, unable to hide the glee in my voice when I saw the news. He was gone, back to where he came from. Hopefully, this would be his downfall, ensuring he wouldn't return."Well, I saw it on the news too," she replied evenly."Why the concern for Italian news, then?" I pressed.She bit her lip and closed her eyes, a tactic I recognized. She'd probably count to ten to control herself, but I wouldn't give her the chance."You still love him, don't you?" I blurted out.Her eyes snapped open, and she glared at me. "Di

Selena's POVMy mind was not at peace. It had been a few days since my wedding to Diego. The marriage itself seemed good, the kids were happy, but a hollowness persisted within me. I possessed everything I thought I ever wanted, yet something crucial remained missing.I knew the news on my phone wouldn't be pleasant, but staying totally informed felt necessary. Picking it up, I stumbled upon a report of Jake attending a board meeting. Had he lost his mind? They'd tear him to shreds!Before I realized it, I was pacing my office, I felt so much anxiety eating me up. Having faced rejection myself, I understood the challenge of facing those who despise your success, and I knew Jake did too. So why this reckless behavior?My assistant knocked and entered, her eyes searching mine with concern. "Is everything alright?" she inquired."Yes," I forced a nod, dismissing her worries. Suddenly, a memory flashed to me, it was when Jake addressed my mother as Gracie. It had to be true then. But from

I realized that it does not have to be an hour or a whole day before one's life can turn upside down. All it took was seconds for the news to go on air.It spread like wildfire; my phone has been ringing since I left New York. I knew reporters would be waiting for me at the airport since the news had gone out that I was in New York for business. I traveled to South America and took another flight back to Italy.No one would be expecting that. I made sure my disguise was in place as I exited the gates. I saw the reporters, but hopefully, no one noticed me. I called for a cab, still leaving my car in the airport parking lot. Who knows, they might be waiting for me there.I took the cab to the penthouse I stayed in with Selena when we got married. No one would be expecting me to go there. I tried calling Jeff, but it would take me to his voicemail.How on earth did the news get out? Was it my doctor? Did he spill my secret for money? I closed the door behind me as I walked into the penth

Diego's POVI saw the look on Selena's face; she looked so torn. Her bottom lip trembled with unshed tears. Her heart must have gone to her kids. Her kids were like the thread that kept her together.And I wouldn’t be the one holding her back from what makes her happy. I just vowed to make her happy, I won’t do otherwise now. With my mind made up, I spoke.“Go get ready, we are flying back home,” I informed her, pulling out my phone and calling Johnny.“But Diego…” Selena started to object.“We are leaving,” Johnny picked up the call. “Get the jet ready, we have an emergency back at home.”“Yes, sir,” he responded and hung up.Selena was still rooted in her position. I touched her shoulders, which were so stiff. “They will be fine once we get back home. Go get your bag ready.”“We just got here,” she complained. “They will stop crying once they are sleepy or tired.”“Are you for real?” I felt like laughing but instead said, “Let’s go back home.” I placed a kiss on her forehead and pus

Selena's POVI was so tired that I slept half of the time for our short flight. By the time I felt a touch on my shoulders, it was Diego. He looked down at me with a grin.“We are here.”“Where is the 'here'?” I asked, rubbing my eyes and sitting upright in my seat. I couldn't feel the motion, so we must have landed. “Sorry, I slept off.”“It is no problem. Come and find out where we are,” he helped me with my seat belt and took my hands. We stepped out of the jet, and my jaw dropped.We were on an island. I looked around for a hint of which island. Queens, that was where we were. Diego led me to the glass house away from where we landed.“Wow, this is massive, Diego,” I said, shocked.“Wait till you see the inside of it,” he said with a wide grin and walked ahead of me to the house. “They will bring our things in, don’t worry,” he called back to me.I gathered my wedding gown and hurried after Diego. He was waiting for me at the door. I stopped beside him. “Ready?” he asked, looking d

Diego's POVSelena was finally mine. I couldn't wait to show her my love and devotion, to prove I was committed to making our marriage work. Her smile throughout the ceremony seemed forced, tense even. But during the reception, when she held her children, a genuine smile lit up her face. She laughed with them, took pictures, and even playfully placed the crown on Jada's head. The little girl, oblivious to the oversized crown, giggled and declared herself a princess.While Jadon clung to his mother, his eyes wide with curiosity, Nana approached me for a dance. Selena, carrying Jadon, joined us on the floor, swaying gently with her son."Congratulations again," Jane said. "Such a shame your father couldn't be here." I knew the apology drill was coming.Honestly, his absence didn't bother me. Everything went smoothly. But Jane seemed determined to make excuses for him."He'd be here if it weren't so important," she muttered, her gaze glued to her feet. She wasn't the most graceful d

Selena's POVIt was the D-day. The wedding song was about to begin, my cue to march in and meet my future husband. Only my family was present.As planned, I would be walking down the aisle alone. The few guests from my side included Mom, Gracie, Sophia and the twins, Hillary and her son Max, Mr. Luke and Mr. Abrahams, along with my assistant. My aunt had refused to participate in "such a union."I hadn't seen Jake for two days. The last time we interacted, he seemed distant, avoiding conversation with me while remaining playful with the kids. Was it because of the wedding? My behavior last time? How did he feel about me now? I was a different person than before. Could he see it? Did it matter to him? Or was he only concerned about the kids?Was securing heirs all his attention on them amounted to? It brought tears to my eyes when Jada called him "dada" one evening, and Jadon mimicked her. I watched as Jake wiped a tear away, pulling the twins into a hug that excluded me.For two days

Jake's POVUndecided, I muttered to myself, "What should I do? Should I even go to the DaCosta's house? I know I won't be welcomed, but..." The thought of the approaching wedding, just a day away, spurred me on. "At least I have to try and see her, the kids..."Reaching the gate, I was surprised. The security guards waved me through without a hitch. Was Selena being considerate today? Entering the mansion, I bumped into someone. Unsure who it was, I stayed silent. Thankfully, the person spoke."Will you just stand there?" Gracie's voice filled the air. "You can see the kids briefly. They miss you." She walked away, and I followed her to the playroom.The children spotted me and squealed, rushing into my arms for a hug."Hello, Mr. Jake!" Sophia greeted me from the play mat."Hello," I replied, setting Jadon down as he wriggled impatiently. He toddled over to his toys, grabbing one and returning to me."Play," Jadon demanded, holding out the toy."You better take off that fancy suit,"

Diego's POVShe seemed lost in thought, not paying attention to me or responding to my questions. When we reached the restaurant parking lot, I had to tap her shoulder and call her name to get her attention.What troubled her? The kids were fine, the family was fine, work was smooth sailing. What could be weighing so heavily on her mind? Jake.That damn guy just wouldn't leave her alone. I'd been actively inserting myself into their interactions, fearing I might lose her if I wasn't careful. That's why I'd moved up the wedding date. In a week, we'd be married. No more interference."Why do you look so lost? Is it Jake?" I asked as she looked up at me with those innocent, troubled eyes."What?" she blinked repeatedly, trying to regain control of her expression."He's been hovering around you a lot lately. Is he causing trouble?""No," she said, shaking her head, but I saw the lie in her eyes."I think you're lying," I stated. "Anyway, let's go in."I stepped out of the car, unfazed by
