Determined to reclaim what had been lost, Luciano made a decision that would change everything. He would confront his father and fight for his love—no matter what it cost him.
The following day, he summoned all his courage and approached his father in his study—a room filled with books and artifacts that symbolized power and wealth but felt cold against Luciano's racing heart.
"Father," he began hesitantly, "we need to talk."
His father looked up from his papers with an expression that shifted from annoyance to surprise. "What is it now?"
"I cannot live this way any longer," Luciano declared firmly. "I refuse to abandon Benjamin or our love."
His father's face darkened as he rose from his chair. "You will do as I say! You are a Moretti! You have responsibilities!"
"No!" Luciano shouted defiantly. "I have responsibilities to myself—and to my heart! Love cannot be dictated by social status or expectations!"
The tension crackled between them like electricity in the air as Luciano stood tall against his father's fury. For too long he had allowed fear to dictate his actions; now it was time to reclaim control over his own destiny.
"You will regret this," his father warned ominously before dismissing him with a wave of his hand.But instead of fear creeping back into his heart, Luciano felt emboldened by conviction—he would find Benjamin and fight for their love no matter what obstacles lay ahead.
