Mia stood just outside the doctor's office, watching as her husband gently closed the door behind him. The doctor had asked to speak to him privately, something about her. Despite her best efforts to push away the swirling negative thoughts, she couldn't shake the growing dread. A tight, uneasy feeling began to rise in her chest, making it hard to breathe normally. Her eyes drifted to their children, waiting a short distance away. Forcing a smile, she walked over to them.
After what felt like forever, the door to the doctor's office finally opened. Alessandro stepped out, his face unreadable, but the look in his eyes told a different story. Something was wrong. Mia immediately stood up, her heart paced faster.
"Alessandro," she said, her voice barely steady, "what did the doctor say? Is everything okay?"
Her worry was unmistakable, and she searched his face for answers, dreading what she might hear.
Alessandro licked his lips to hide his hesitation and smiled weakly. "Yes, everything is fine, amore mio," he whispered, taking a deep breath as his eyes darted around, as if trying to evade her penetrating gaze. It felt as though she was trying to read his mind. "Where are the kids?" he asked when he didn't see Gia and Maximo around
"They were getting bored, so I sent them with Alessio to grab a bite at the nearest restaurant," she replied. "I'm feeling tired too, and if we're done here, we can join them and get something to eat."
Alessandro exhaled sharply, as if bracing himself to reveal the harsh reality to Mia.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
"Baby, we can't just leave. The doctor said you need to get a shot that the doctor has prescribed, and then we can go home," Alessandro said softly.
"A shot?" Mia's brow furrowed, her fear deepening. There was definitely something wrong, and Alessandro wasn't telling her. Her frustration grew even more with it. "What are you hiding from me, Alessandro?" she demanded, her tone sharp as her face flushed with anger.
Alessandro glanced around, noticing that other patients were watching them.
"Come with me," he said, gently grabbing her smaller hand in his larger one and guiding her to a quiet corner where some chairs were vacant.
He carefully sat her down and took a seat beside her. Mia's impatient eyes stayed fixed on him, her irritation clear.
"Now will you tell me?" she snapped.
Alessandro nodded, his expression turning somber. "I truly regret not being with you when you delivered Gia and Maximo. His voice broke with remorse. "If I had been there, I would have made sure everything went smoothly and that you and our babies were safe. Alessandro's puzzling words only deepened Mia's confusion.
"What happened?" she pressed.

knew he had promised there would be nothing hidden between them, and he was determined to keep his
word.
Mia's eyes
flared with realization as the truth sank in. She gasped, clutching Alessandro's hand tightly.
"What will happen, Alessandro? What are we going to do?" she murmured, her eyes glistening with worry for their unborn child. She didn't care about her own health; all that mattered was this baby. Their baby. It needed to be healthy and safe. The mother in her was determined to do anything to ensure its survival.

"Everything is going to be fine. We are going to be fine, cuore mio," Alessandro replied firmly. "That's why the doctor has started the medication and is taking all the necessary precautions to make sure everything
well." He declared this to his wife, even though his heart was still thudding loudly against his chest. One thing he knew for certain: he would do anything to protect his family, even if it meant going against fare. He couldn't bear to see the pain reflected in Mia's eyes. He would burn the whole world down before he allowed her to be broken.
Just then, the nurse approached them and said, "Ma'am, please come with me."
Alessandro nodded to Mia, and together they followed the nurse to the exam room. The doctor entered shortly after and administered the first shot of RhoGAM to Mia.
"It's done, the doctor said, offering a reassuring smile. "Now everything is fine. Just make sure to follow my instructions and come in regularly for checkups," she suggested before leaving to attend to other patients.
"See, I told you. There's no need to worry," Alessandro said, trying to lift his wife's spirits.
But today, Mia was determined to uncover all the truth. This was her opportunity to find out what was coming between her family's happiness.
"What about the other thing you're hiding?" she pressed.
Alessandro sighed as he led Mia to their car. He knew it was finally time for her to know everything-his involvement with the mafia and his decision to leave it behind. Though she was aware of his connections, she remained uncertain about his position and role within that world. Alessandro had never spoken about it with her; he wanted to keep her safe from his dark world,
He helped her into the car and took a seat beside her, his face etched with determination as he began to explain everything. But before he could start, his phone rang.
Seeing the unknown number, he frowned and answered, "Hello?"
"If you want to see your kids alive, come to this address a filthy voice snarled, freezing the blood in his veins.
He glanced at Mia, unable to mask the panic on his face, but he couldn't bring himself to tell her that their children had been kidnapped.
