Inessa's life took a drastic turn when her father owed Vincent Valentino a lot of money. Unable to pay him back, Vincent decided to take Inessa as collateral. Inessa's world came crashing down, but she didn't cry; she was disappointed in her father...
Inessa enjoyed taking walks with baby Matteo, finding solace in the fresh air and the tranquility of the surroundings. On this particular day, Vincent had decided to join them, wanting to spend some time with his family outside the confines of the mansion. Little did they know that an unexpected encounter awaited them.
As they strolled along the path, Inessa spotted a familiar face up ahead. It was Katja, the same woman who had always made snarky comments and tried to undermine her at the baby mamma workouts. Inessa's heart sank, anticipating another encounter filled with disdain and negativity.
"Hello, Inessa," Katja greeted with a condescending tone, her eyes scanning Vincent from head to toe. "Out for a walk with your little family, I see."
Inessa took a deep breath, refusing to let Katja's presence ruin her day. But her patience wore thin when Katja's attention shifted to Vincent, and she began to flirt shamelessly.
Unwilling to tolerate the disrespect, Inessa spoke up, her voice laced with determination. "Excuse me, but he's taken. That's my man, and you need to back off."
Katja's smirk grew wider, seemingly enjoying the confrontation. "Oh, really? I didn't know you two were together. What a lucky guy," she retorted, undeterred by Inessa's words.
Vincent, who had been observing the exchange quietly, couldn't contain his annoyance any longer. His voice dripped with coldness as he addressed Katja. "Didn't you hear my wife? She said back the fuck off. Whoever you're supposed to be, you should take her advice."
Katja's face turned pale, her confidence shattered in an instant. She mumbled an apology before hastily making her retreat, clearly shaken by Vincent's sudden outburst.
Inessa couldn't help but feel a surge of pride for Vincent. Despite their complicated relationship, his protective instinct was undeniable. She glanced at him, seeing a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes as he watched Katja disappear from view.
"Thank you," Inessa whispered, her voice filled with gratitude.
Vincent's expression softened slightly, a rare display of vulnerability. "No one messes with my family," he replied, his voice gentler than before.
As they continued their walk, Inessa felt a renewed sense of connection with Vincent. In that moment, they stood united against the world, ready to face any challenges that came their way.

Vincent's heart swelled with anticipation as he dropped off baby Matteo with Inessa's mother, Anoushka. He couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of determination to make things right between him and Inessa. Anoushka greeted him warmly, sensing the change in Vincent's demeanor, and he couldn't resist asking her about Inessa's favorite flowers.
"What are Inessa's favorite flowers, Anoushka?" he inquired, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Anoushka paused for a moment, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Peonies," she replied, her voice filled with a knowing glimmer.
Vincent's smile broadened as he confirmed his suspicions. With newfound determination, he swiftly texted Inessa, instructing her to get ready because he had plans for the evening. The anticipation grew as he drove back home to pick her up.
As Inessa emerged from the house, Vincent's breath hitched in his throat. She was a vision of beauty in a stunning dress that hugged every curve, her radiant smile illuminating the evening. He couldn't help but feel a surge of desire and appreciation for the woman standing before him.
