“What help does Rocco need from you?” Luca said in a condescending tone.

“Don’t punish him for what I did.”

“I didn’t punish you, and you already know I love my grandkids. That’s the one thing you managed not to mess up.”

“You know what? Olivia forgives me.” Nico turned his back on Luca.

“When did you tell her?” Luca asked in a shocked tone.

“I haven’t, but I bet she knows. She always knows everything, and she still loves me. I love her, Luca. She’s my rock.”

Luca huffed. “I’m busy right now. Can you get to your point?”

Nico’s brows lowered. “What are you doing?”

“Making a gift for my new granddaughter for her wedding.” He gestured toward the laptop.

He glared at him. “Are you filming?”

“I am.”

Nico snorted. “You’re going to delete that—”

“You think I want to risk my dear ones knowing what kind of man you are?” Luca snapped.

Nico closed his mouth and ran his fingers back through his hair. “Okay…uh, yeah. Please delete me from your video. Okay. Thank you…And the will?”

“You’restillin the will,” Luca blew out.

Nico’s shoulders dropped, and a weak smile appeared on his lips. “Thank you.”

Knock knock.

Magda appeared. “Rocco and Adelina are driving up to the estate.”

Luca smiled at her. “Thank you. Please show Nico out the back. I don’t want them to see you. Make sure they don’t.”

Nico bobbed his head. “I’m parked down by the winery. Uhm, can you please delete the video now? Just in case it gets mixed up?”

Luca glared at him and crossed his arms. “Get the hell out of here now.”

Nico finally left, and Luca smiled as he recentered himself before the screen. “You and Rocco are here, and I’ll restart this video after dinner. See you soon.”

The screen went black for a moment, leaving me frozen in shock at Nico’s betrayal. He strutted around like he was above it all, but he was nothing more thana cheating scumbag.

He’d gambled everything to snatch that video, terrified I might spill his secret to Rocco. Maybe I still could, but the fallout would hurt everyone.Maybe that was why Luca had kept it hidden. Still, why leave it in the video? Did he expect me to do something about it?

No. Luca ran out of time. However…

A chill ran through me, and I thought about the irresponsible way I’d handled my birth control lately, especially since I knew Rocco didn’t want a child right now. All my complaining to Olivia about forcing us, and I was no better.Am I doomed to repeat the past? Would I face the same heartbreak with Rocco if I’m pregnant?

“Adelina.”

I turned to find Rocco in the doorway, his face pinched.

I tensed. Rocco always smiled or came to kiss me whenever we were together. “Uhm, are you okay?”

Rocco walked into the office and stood next to the chair but didn’t touch me. He glanced at the dark screen. “What’s going on?”
