“Yes, she did the gut engaged, and the irony is that I would have gone through with the marriage. I would have settled into that half–life, a mus do of aunt I once shared with you. But then you showed up, standing in my doorway with our little Nico in your arms, and all I could tie was, ‘This is my wite! My woman? I wanted to shout it from the rooftops.”
Lang’s gazs tased distant as tw recalled that moment. “It was like a wakeup call, having you living under my roof with our baby boy–the living embodiment of our love, but it was painful, too, because I was thrust back into a dream that felt impossibly out of reach. I was faced well the line could have had together
He sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair as frustration flickered in his eyes. “You can’t imagine the thoughts that swirled in my head. I’d find myself probing and prodding at Nico, asking if his mummy had any male friends, if there was anyone she brought home regularly. I was king my wit
“The problem was still the same,” Luca continued, his voice heavy with frustration. “You seemed completely unfazed by the fact that I was engaged to another woman.” He paused, collecting his thoughts as he searched for the right words. “Remember the first week you were living there? Just to test the waters, I mentioned that I had invited Carlotta over for breakfast at the casa.”
Amber nodded slowly, the memory coming back with a rush. She could still picture Luca’s face, a strange mix of anger and disappointment when she had accepted the invitation with indifference, It was as if he had wanted her to react, to fight him about this.
“You just shruzzed and said, “Okay, as if it was no big deal that I was bringing my girlfriend into our home. In that moment, it felt like my skin had been flayed with a branding iron.” Luca’s voice grew thick with emotion, a bitter edge creeping in.
“WHY?” Amber asked, her brows furrowing in confusion.
“Because I still saw you as my wife,” he replied, his tone softening. “And what kind of wife would let her husband bring his other woman into their house without a second thought?” He studied her closely, noticing the way her lips twisted and her face scrunched up in disbelief.
“You can say it,” he urged, almost challenging her,
Amber took a deep breath, her eyes narrowing slightly. “You’re so damn twisted in the head that it would be easier to untangle a hippie’s dreadlocks,”
“yeah, probably,” he agreed, self embarrassingly.
“Was that why you were giving me those strange, angry looks when I said I wouldn’t be coming with you and Carlotta to take Nico to the zoo?”

The silence that followed hung heavy in the alt, thick with unspoken word and unresolved feelings. He stared at the flour for a moment, fost In thought before finally breaking the stillness.
The thunderstorm was really my saving grace, you know,” he began, his ice low and earnest. “When I held you in my arms again, when I Lissed you, everything shifted, in that instant, I realized something profound–I didn’t give a damn about anything else. I didn’t care about what you felt or whether you still loved me. All that mattered was having you back in my life, just like that.”
His eyes darkened with emotion as he continued. “It was as if the storm hill washed away all the doubts and fears I’d been holding onto. For that fleeting moment, it felt like nothing else existed but you and me. I wanted to forget everything–the hurt, the anger, the confusion–and simply bask in the warmth of you again.” He leaned forward, his expression raw and vulnerable, his voice barely above a whisper. “I needed that connection, that spark we once had, I wanted to forget the world outside, the chaos of our lives, and just be with you.”
“And then it spiraled into my worst nightmare,” Luca confessed, his voice low and strained, as if dredging up the memory caused him physical pain. He turned to Amber, his gaze piercing, filled with a tumultuous intensity that shook her to her very core. In that moment, the world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them suspended in a charged silence.
“When you finally revealed the real reason you were here, it felt like the earth had crumbled beneath my feet.” His words hung in the air, heavy and unyielding. “Nico is never going to be separated from his mother, not ever! I won’t allow it!” The fervor in his voice echoed through the room, a primal declaration fueled by love and desperation.
“You won’t be leaving him here! I will be right there with you when you leave for your treatment next week,” he continued, his expression resolute, like a man standing guard over everything he held dear.
