Whisperes of Passion

/Riccardo's POV/

The day of Bella's performance arrived, and the theater buzzed with excitement. The audience filled the seats, their anticipation palpable. Eliana and I sat side by side, our hands intertwined, as we waited for our daughter to take the stage.

Unlucky, Eliana's whole family was there too. However, she didn't even spare a glance at them. I understand, I mean these people made us apart, shattered her trust, and separated me from my daughter. However, it still hurts seeing her trying to keep her emotions in. 

Tessa was also here, beside me. She didn't talk to me the whole time and I couldn't summon an ounce of care. I just let her be. Eliana's reaction to her was the only thing I cared about. She knows that I've slept with her and she is Luca's mother. As long as Luca is in my life, she will be there too.
