Emily’s phone pinged, showing an incoming video call from Matteo–the man who constantly occupied her thoughts. Biting her bottom lip and struggling to contain her excitement, she answered the call and propped her phone in front of her. Matteo’s handsome face appeared on the screen, stealing her breath away. He was in his lawyer’s suit, sitting in what looked like the corner of his office near the courtroom.
“Aren’t you supposed to be in court, arguing your case and proving your client right?” she teased, though her face radiated the happiness she felt inside.
“Baby, I miss you,” Matteo replied, his voice dripping with hopeless romance as he gazed at her lovingly. “So, I asked the judge to wait a moment while I talk to my beloved.”
“Huh! Such a liar you are,” she reproached playfully, narrowing her eyes, knowing he was exaggerating.
Matteo chuckled. “Okay, mon amour, you got me. I asked for a break without explaining why, but…” He paused, his heart overflowing with love for this incredible woman who was his. “I miss you, and that part is the truth.”
“Alright, I believe you, Mr. Vinci,” Emily replied softly.
“Thank you, Miss Yang,” Matteo sighed, his eyes locked on her face displayed on the screen. “Listen, chérie, I’ll pick you up after work.”
“No need,” Emily shook her head shyly.
“I’m picking you up after work because we’re going on a date,” he stated, making his intentions clear.
Emily blushed, feeling butterflies flutter in her stomach as she lowered her eyelashes, trying to hide the mix of emotions welling in her eyes. After a moment, she lifted her chin, looking at the handsome man on her screen to her heart’s content.
“How about we go home and have a private dinner instead?” she whispered, licking her lips, her face revealing the mischievous thoughts behind her suggestion.
“Ah, you’ll be the death of me, mon amour,” Matteo groaned, closing his eyes and throwing his head back. “Now how am I supposed to concentrate on work?”
Emily giggled, giving him an innocent look. “What? I was only suggesting we avoid unnecessary attention in public.”
Matteo stared at her, love shining in his eyes.
“And this innocence of yours is going to drive me crazy one day.” He placed a dramatic hand over his heart. “However, we are going on a date, and that’s final
He wanted to do it right this time. He wanted to court her, to chase her, and make her feel how special she was to him.
“Okay, Mr. Vinci,” Emily replied, suppressing a grin.
“Fuck!” he cursed, throwing his head back in helplessness. “Now how am I supposed to wait until evening?”
“Have some patience,” Emily murmured, her smile lingering. She then noticed Matteo looking ahead, signaling to someone as if engaged in a brief, silent conversation. After a moment, he shifted his gaze back

“Babe, the break is over, and everyone is waiting for your lover to start the pending argument,” Matteo said with a sigh.
Emily nodded, a smile tugging at her lips at the title he had given himself.
“Go,” she urged softly, but inside, she felt a reluctance to let him go.
“Miss me, okay?” Matteo whispered, blowing her a kiss. Emily smiled, returning the gesture, but she ended the call before he could get too distracted and late for the trial.
Setting her phone aside, Emily felt her heart thumping with excitement at the thought of her upcoming date with Matteo Vinci. She tried to focus on her work, but her concentration shattered when the door to her office swung open. Benedetta Vinci stormed in, rage etched on her face.
Emily stood in shock at the sight of Matteo’s mother. Before she could process what was happening, Benedetta closed the distance between them and slapped her hard across the face.
“You filthy whore! First, you ruined Tomas Bradford, and now you’re trying to ruin my son’s life. Leave him alone! He doesn’t deserve to be with a barren woman like you!”

“Where is he?” Alvis Vinci roared, his voice echoing with rage. He had been calling Matteo since last night, but his son hadn’t picked up once, fueling Alvis’s growing fury. The man standing before him, head bowed, struggled to find a reply.
“Why won’t you answer me?” Alvis demanded, his tone sharp and unforgiving. But the man who worked for him still had no answer.
Bruno Vassalo, Lia’s father, scowled in frustration. “Honestly, Alvis, if you can’t keep your promises, I have no reason to invest in your business. I want my daughter to be happy, and if your son keeps doing this and upsetting her, I’ll have no choice but to call off this marriage,” he warned, his voice cold.
“No, Bruno, don’t make any hasty decisions,” Alvis interrupted quickly, trying to calm the tension. “This is just a misunderstanding. We’ll sort it out.”
