Chapter 7

Years passed.

I became Anna Moretti.

I learned the business. Learned how to lead. How to protect. How to stand strong.

Marco and I grew inseparable. We looked out for each other. We stood together.

The rival family was eventually brought down. Their leaders imprisoned. Their power broken.

But peace came slowly.

One evening, Marco and I stood on the balcony of the mansion where it all began.

"Do you ever think about that day?" Marco asked. "The cake?"

I nodded.

"I think about it every day."

Marco turned to me.

"I used to be ashamed of that day. Ashamed that I needed saving. But now... I am grateful. Because that day... it brought you to me."

He took both my hands in his.

"My father says destiny led you to that cake. I believe him."
