CHAPTER SIXTY THREE
VINCENZO
There was an overwhelming ache coursing through my body as I gradually regained consciousness. My head felt like it was being pounded by a sledgehammer, and the brightness of the surroundings made me squint.
I had to blink a few times to adjust to the light. Glancing at my left hand, I noticed the IV tube connected to it. Confusion clouded my mind as I tried to piece together why I was in so much pain.

VINCENZOI step into the casino, the clatter of chips and laughter from the gamblers filling the air. The flashing lights and the lingering scent of cigars and whiskey set the stage for this high-stakes battleground. Sinclair, the idiot who thought he could betray me to the law, is on my radar. My schedule is packed, my responsibilities vast, but I can't let treachery go unchecked.The law's pursuit doesn't concern me much. After all, they won't unearth anything significant.

ANYAI open my eyes and blink repeatedly, trying to focus in the unfamiliar surroundings. My body aches, the result of being confined and bound for far too long. This room is different from the one before; a bedroom, immaculately clean. I'm still chained to a chair, though at least my legs are free.Attempting to stretch my legs, pain shoots through me, and I can't help but let out a cry. Damn cramps – a consequence of being immobilized for so long. How much time has passed? How long have I been here? And why hasn't Vincenzo found me yet?My discomfort is momentarily forgotten as the door creaks open, revealing a man who exudes intimidation. My heart races as I take in his appearance – round face, sharp blue eyes, and an aura that radiates danger.

Why had I been kept in the dark? What other secrets had been hidden from me?Before I could even process this revelation, Uncle Pietro roughly pulled me out of the room, yanking me away from the chaos of my thoughts. The sight outside was even more chaotic. Lifeless bodies littered the ground, a testament to the violence that had erupted in Vincenzo's wake.Amidst the turmoil, my heart leaped at the sight of Vincenzo in the distance.

I intended to make him pay for every bit of pain he had caused Anya. He was going to regret the day he crossed paths with us.My promise to protect her echoed in my mind, and I cursed myself for not being able to keep her safe. I shouldn't have asked her to trust me in that moment of chaos. I should have kept her out of harm's way, no matter what.Anya had been in surgery for nearly seven hours.

I didn't know how to react – whether to be elated or overwhelmed with emotions.After the nurse left, Vincenzo calmly told me the news again. I looked into his eyes, trying to decipher his feelings, but all I saw was love. It confused me even more.

Thank you for making me the happiest man on earth. Thank you for making me a father,” he expressed, genuine awe and joy evident in his face.I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

ANYAErik's small hand reached out and touched my hair. I raised my head to meet his gaze. “Why are you crying so much like this?”Tears still shimmering in my eyes, I managed a smile. “I'm just really, really happy.”He turned his gaze to Vincenzo. “Does she cry like this often?”Vincenzo chuckled. “Yeah, she does. It's a miracle she still has tears left.”Erik then looked at Vincenzo, a determined expression on his face. “Thank you for taking care of her.

Stepping out into the fresh air, I relished the escape from the hospital's distinct smell, which had become increasingly nauseating.Vincenzo, true to his overprotective nature, treated me like a fragile egg throughout our ride back home. I understand he cares deeply, but sometimes it feels like he's fussing over me too much.“Would you stop frowning already? It doesn't suit you,” he remarked, his eyes on the road.I snickered and shot him a mock glare. “I'm not sick, Vincenzo. I'm pregnant, pregnant!”He glanced at me and chuckled. “Do you think I don't know that?”“If you do, then you must know that it is not necessary to do this,” I retorted. He had placed a small pillow behind my back and adjusted my seat so that I was reclining slightly.“It's just for safety measures. We
