Chapter 5 - Luca Chases Them to the Exit
“Nia! Wait!” Luca shouted, his voice cutting sharply through the sophisticated murmur of the restaurant dining room.
Several high-profile diners turned their heads in shock, recognizing the billionaire titan losing his legendary composure in public.
Nia didn't even turn around, quickening her pace slightly while keeping her small children safely sheltered beneath her arms.
“Nia, I’m talking to you! Stop right now!” Luca yelled louder, closing the distance between them with long, desperate strides.
He reached the edge of their table just as the last child slipped past the velvet partition toward the exit doors.
He threw his hand out, grabbing the edge of a mahogany service cart to keep from stumbling over his own expensive shoes.
“Don't you dare walk away from me, Nia! We need to talk about what’s going on here!” Luca demanded hoarsely.

Nia finally stopped at the doorway, turning her head slowly to look at him with a look of absolute, freezing disdain.
“There is nothing for us to talk about, Luca. You made your choice years ago on a snowy night in our kitchen,” she whispered coldly.
