Chapter 14 - Nia Explains Her Years of Silence
Nia slowly stood up from her chair, her posture rigid, her hands resting flat against the wooden surface of her desk for stability.
“You’re trespassing, Luca. Security downstairs should have called the police the moment you stepped into the lobby,” Nia stated coldly.
“They tried, but my legal team owns the building lease, Nia,” Luca replied smoothly, taking a slow step into the private office.
“Of course they do. You always did love owning everything around you, didn't you?” she sneered, her eyes flashing with lingering resentment.
“You kept my children from me for four years, Nia. Four years!” Luca burst out, his carefully controlled composure finally cracking under the pressure.
“Your children?” Nia laughed bitterly, the sound sharp and devoid of any humor.
“Whose children, Luca? The ones you assumed I was too broken to carry? The ones you didn't even bother to stay and fight for?”

Luca flinched as if he had been physically struck across the face, his dark eyes darkening with sudden, agonizing remorse.
“I was wrong. I was arrogant and blind, and I let outside whispers destroy what we had... but that doesn't give you the right to hide my flesh and blood!”
