A terrifying thought hit Bianca

A terrifying thought hit Bianca and unease swept through her. Her plan was simple. She expected me to cry and make a scene over the divorce. Everyone would hate me and she could take my place. Instead, I walked away without hesitation and disappeared with twenty million dollars. Everything had gone completely beyond her control. Meanwhile my parents and I arrived in Miami. It was warm and peaceful far from New York's suffocating family drama. Exactly the fresh start I wanted. I bought a spacious luxury waterfront condo with plenty of room for eight children. Inside, Mom and Dad were discussing clothes for the babies. Everything felt warm and peaceful. No cold Mafia rules. No mocking looks. Once my babies were born, I'd give them the best life. I'd never live by anyone else's moods or compromise myself again. Six months flew by. My belly grew and all eight babies were thriving. We often walked around Miami and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. This way instead of gaining weight, I actually lost some. During this time, I prepared clothes and shoes for my babies. Life was simple but happy. Alessio finally returned to New York after six months overseas. He had finished handling the Marchetti family's overseas business. Michael was already waiting at the airport, pale and sweating. What happened at home these past six months? Tell me everything. Don Marchitti, Mrs Marchitti signed the divorce papers. He had never wanted a divorce. And he had never ordered anyone to deliver divorce papers. The moment Alessio entered his study, he lowered his eyes to the signature. What the hell happened? Don Marchitti, it was Miss Rossi. She messaged your wife in your name and made me deliver the papers. Her goal was to trick Mrs. Marchetti into leaving. Get out. You no longer work for this family. Michael hurried out, leaving Alessio alone in the empty study. Bianca's scheme, his grandmother's favoritism, Michael's betrayal, all of it enraged him. But what hurt most was Vivian leaving. Back then, Vivian had saved his life when he was badly injured. He married her afterward to repay that debt. After they married, Vivian never complained or asked him for anything. She quietly took care of everything at the Marchetti estate. She knew his stomach was sensitive and always made sure he ate properly. Warm water and his favorite snacks waited for him. You don't have to do this. I know. Take care of yourself. The concern in her eyes had always been impossible to hide. And that night they slept together. He hadn't been drunk at all. He used the pretense of being drunk to get close to her to kiss her. He wanted to break the cold distance between them. But now Vivian was gone. She left with his children and his twenty million dollars without looking back. The twenty million dollars was a gift Alessio planned to give her once their relationship improved. But Bianca had turned it into a weapon against her. Only now did he finally realize he had fallen in love with Vivian long ago. But it was already too late.
