Matteo was taken aback by Emily’s sudden declaration. His eyes searched her face for any sign of hesitation, but all he saw was unwavering determination.

“You can’t be serious,” he said, his voice laced with disbelief. “That’s your ancestral inheritance, Emily. Your parents left it for you. It belongs to you, and you should keep it. Why would you want to give it all to Gia and Maximo?” The confusion was clear in the furrow of his brow. 

Emily’s eyes softened, emotions swirling behind them. “Because I want my wealth and property to go to my children after me,” she replied, her voice thick with feeling. She had come to a grim realization–the world was a cruel place, one that might not let her live much longer. But more than anything, she couldn’t bear the thought of her inheritance falling into the hands of those monsters masquerading as family. 

In her heart, Emily knew that her true family was Aria, Gia, and Maximo. Though they weren’t bound by blood, the bond she shared with them was stronger than anything. She loved Gia and Maximo as if they were her own children. Knowing she could never conceive herself, she was ready to give everything she had to Aria’s children. 

“If anything happens to me, at least I’ll know they’ll be taken care of,” she whispered, her voice filled with a mix of sadness and resolve. “That’s all I want… to live in peace until the next threat comes. And if I die, I’ll rest easy knowing my children, Gia and Maximo, are inheriting after me. 

Matteo’s heart clenched as he saw the sadness reflected in Emily’s eyes. Without hesitation, he gently cupped her face in his hands, tilting her head up so she could see the sincerity in his gaze. His eyes were filled with raw emotion, and his voice was steady, filled with conviction. 

“Mon amour, nothing will happen to you,” he vowed, his voice unwavering. “I’m here, and I will always be here, standing between you and any threat that comes your way.” 

Emily’s expression didn’t soften. Instead, her brow furrowed, her lips trembling as she met his gaze with a question that made his heart sink. 

“How long?” she retorted, her voice filled with doubt and vulnerability. “How long are you going to protect me? You have a life, a family of your own. One day, you’ll get tired of this responsibility. You’ll see me as a burden.” 

Matteo was hurt to hear her think so lowly of him. 

“That’s never going to happen, ma douce. You’ll see; I will always be there for you as long as I’m alive.” He said it with such conviction that he surprised even himself, caught up in a whirlwind of emotion. 

“That’s absurd, Matteo,” Emily grimaced, shaking her head as she pulled away from his touch and turned her back to him. 

Taking a deep breath to mask his own tumultuous feelings–a skill he had honed over the years–Matteo adopted a stern expression. His voice turned cold as he asked, “Then why are you giving everything to Gia and Maximo? Why don’t you make a will for your own children?” 

She was willing to give away everything she had fought to reclaim from her criminal ex–husband. It didn’t make sense to him. In a world where blood relations could not be trusted, Emily was prepared to entrust her legacy to children she had no biological connection to–children she loved purely from the heart. 

“Because I know I can never have my own children… and a family,” Emily’s voice trembled, her eyes chimmering with the weight of bitter truth
