Chapter 10 - I Remind Luca Of The Night He Walked Away

“I spent years believing I was a failure as a woman because of the doubts you planted in my soul,” I whispered bitterly.
Luca stepped closer, his dark eyes brimming with unshed tears as he tried to bridge the impossible chasm between us.

“My children don’t need your money, Luca; they need a father who doesn't abandon them when life gets hard,” I replied firmly.
