Ennly sat in Alessandro's private jet, her gaze fixed on the clouds drifting past as she headed to Florence. Her conversation with Mia had left no doubt about leaving Paris, especially in her current emotional state -hurt, vulnerable, and longing for the comfort of family. She missed Mia and the twins. They were her only real family. But now Alessandro had also started to show a surprising level of care and appreciation for her as Aria's best friend as he was grateful for the support she'd offered during his wife's tough times.

Emily had made the decision to stay away from Matteo after the harsh encounter with his mother and fiancée. It wasn't out of fear of their threats, but rather desire not to complicate his life further while she worked on sorting out her own. One thing was clear: there was no future for them together. Her life was already filled with complications and malevolent people, and the last thing she wanted was to drag Matteo into that chaos, marring his life with her own flaws and troubles.

She had been fine living her life alone before Matteo had entered it, and deep down, she knew she could do it again. It hurt to admit it, but distancing herself felt like the only option.

Matteo left the courtroom, his expression tense. The judge had postponed the trial once again without reaching a decision, adding yet another layer of frustration to his already long day. Still, one thought kept him grounded: his beloved-Emily. Just the idea of seeing her tonight made the rest of his day bearable. She would be waiting for him. The excitement of their upcoming date buoyed his spirits, igniting a spark of joy in the midst of his dark mood.

He had made special arrangements for the evening, determined to create a memorable experience for her. This time, he planned to propose properly, with a ring that symbolized his commitment. In the morning, his proposal had been genuine, yet it felt rushed and impulsive. He wanted to rectify that, to do it right, to make it clear that his love for her was profound and enduring.

He had already instructed her secretary to procure the most exquisite ring for Emily, confident that it would perfectly symbolize his love for her. A text from Amy confirmed that she had placed the order using Matteo's card. Although he had planned to purchase the ring himself, the demands of the day's important trial had consumed his time and focus.

Now, he couldn't wait to see Emily's reaction when he slipped that ring onto her finger. Then he'd take her home and spend the whole night making love to her, expressing his love in every possible way and showing her just how much she meant to him. But as soon as he left the courtroom and reentered his office, his secretary rushed up to him.
