A week before Easter, Adrian gave me seven days off and had a ticket to Stockholm slipped into my bag. I thought he was finally learning how to care. Then I heard him talking to our son on the staircase. “Dad, are you really going to marry Aunt Bianca? What about Mom?” Noah was holding his model car, trying to sound brave. Adrian was quiet for a moment. “It’s only a legal marriage. Matteo is gone. Bianca and Sophia are exposed, and I can’t leave them that way. They need the DeLuca name for protection.” “Does Mom know?” “She can’t know.” His voice softened. “Keep this from her, Noah. On your birthday, I’ll buy you that Aston Martin model you want.” So the ticket was never a gift. It was a way to move me out of the picture. If he could put his family name on another woman, even for show, then I could take back the pride and ambition I had buried in this marriage. This time, when I left for the north, I would not come back.

Cassidy loved Zane for three years. Only when Zane told her to go buy condoms for him and his new girlfriend did she realize she had always been nothing more than a “bed companion” in his eyes. On her 25th birthday, she caught Zane and his new lover Lily in a tight embrace, and her heart died completely. She decided to leave. A car accident cost her her child and finally made Zane realize his true feelings. Only when she started her new life at Vertex Group did Zane finally understand that he had loved her all along — but now it was too late to win her back.
