ANTONIO - BOOK 1 (THE PARKERS)
When they drove out of the parking lot, Aaliyah lets out a breath she didn't realize she was holding.
"Good job, Ms Davis." She turned to Antonio her gaze sharp.
"Shouldn't you call me Mrs Parker?" He sighs.
"I apologise, I needed that deal, it wasn't my intention to bring you into this." She refrained from rolling her eyes, reminding herself he was still her boss.
"I'm not coming to another meeting." She told him, walking to the car.
"Remember who gives to your cheque at the end of the month." She turned back to him.
"Well, then I want a raise if I'm going to continue lying to them." He nods.
"Fine."
"I was joking."
"I'm not, I'll pay you if you pretend to be married to me for a while. We need our marriage to look more believable, we will go to parties together and other gatherings." She looked at him like he had gone mad.
"Aren't you already married to Samantha."

Chapter: Chapter 99: Fruits & Mother In Law-Chapter 99: Fruits & Mother In Law-About four hours had passed since Antonio had left, and honestly, I was feeling extremely lonely, but I knew I had to power through until this whole scandal had blown over."How are you feeling?" Tia asked me the second I answered her call, and I unconsciously caressed my stomach."Good besides constantly throwing up my food," I confessed with a bittersweet tone."Is Antonio taking good care of you?" She inquired, and her words only reminded me of his absence and my longing to see him."He's at work, but Maria's here with me." "I'm guessing he'd doing damage control?""Yeah," I confirmed while sitting up on my bed the sound I felt the urge to vomit rising from the depths of my throat."Do you think this can be resolved?" She questioned me as I brought the bucket that was located on my table to my mouth as I moved off the bed."Hopefully, I-" I began, but was interrupted by the rejection of my food that found its way out of my stomach and through

Chapter: Chapter 98: Sadness & Grapes- Chapter 98: Sadness & Grapes - Hearing those words should have brought me nothing but joy, unfortunately, the only I was feeling was fear. It was the same fear I had when I heard Brittany say that the chances of me surviving childbirth were extremely low. "Aaliyah, are you still there?" I heard Tia which pulled me from my thoughts. "Yeah, I have to go Tia. I'll talk to you later." I immediately hung up before she had the chance to respond. "Is everything alright?" Antonio asked the second I placed my phone on the counter. "Sort of." He raised a brow moving toward me. "What do you mean?" "A few days I asked Tia to do a blood test on me..." This didn't seem to make his concern lessen as his brows were now pulled together showing both his worry and confusion. "What were the results? Are you sick?" I shook my head.

Chapter: Chapter 97: Call & Tia- Chapter 97: Call & Tia - Aaliyah’s P.O.V I wasn’t too shocked by his announcement because I saw the pictures of her baby bump earlier, but now that he admitted it I realized he didn’t just lose Lillian, he lost his baby. “How long ago was this?” My father asked, “About 3 years.” Antonio responded softly, looking very tired from all the questions and I wasn’t surprised as I would be too if I was being hounded like this. “Y—” My sister Isabella started but I spoke, cutting her off. “No more questions for tonight.” No one made a move to object. “Alright, we’ll go home.” My mother said as she stood from the chair she sat.

Raymond Parker’s niece, Ilaria De Luca is the leader of one of the biggest American Italian mafia in the states. He and his son Antonio Parker have been seen doing deals for her with different mafia families, including The Andersons and Petrovs.’ Many pictures were shown of Antonio talking to a tall, muscular man who had dark brown eyes and black hair who stood beside a woman with brunette

Chapter: Chapter 95: Date & Truth- Chapter 95: Date & Truth - Aaliyah’s P.O.V I stared at Samantha waiting for her to speak up and answer my question. Tia seemed wary of her presence after the things I had told her about Samantha, she unconsciously took a step in front of me as if to protect me if anything happened. I doubted Samantha had the guts to hurt me, but I also knew her obsession with Antonio would probably drive her that length. “Answer me, what are you doing here?” I asked once again this time there was much more venom in my voice. “I’m here for charity.” She answered with a creepy smile that had the hairs on my arms standing. “I don’t believe that for a second. You weren’t invited.” Samantha nodded walking towards the sink, resting her purse

"Don't remind me." He only smiled while pressing a kiss against my forehead. "I'm sorry I'm late, my flight got delayed." I gave him a smile of reassurance. "It's fine, I got to spend more time with the kids," I informed him while he took a seat beside me. "That's good to hear, so do you want anything for this birthday?" I stared into his eyes as I bit my lip. "I can get anything I want?" He laughed lightly at my tone. "Besides that, our beautiful children are still awake." I sighed playfully. "Alright, can you make me some pancakes?" "It's 6 pm, Nat." I shrugged. "Isn't it my birthday?" "I guess,

I was silently hoping this wouldn't be my last night on this earth, but I knew hope wasn't something steady to rely on.

Chapter: Chapter 45: Necklace"She's a vampire? How on earth is that possible?" Dailon inquired everyone, awaited her answer."Well, we've come up with a theory. Xaviana is favoured by the sun, so she's was granted the ability to become one, we got that idea from the humans in their stories vampires aren't allowed outside in the sun because they'll burn." Lilith explained."But why isn't Adrian a vampire as well?" Marcella asked."Because he's favoured by the moon not the sun, that's why he became my mate, the moon paired us together.""Wait, since Xaviana has your blood and Adrian's, she's a vampire, a witch and most likely a wolf," Amaris said making them realize what she was."She's a tribrid, how are we going to fight her?" Wyatt inquired worry in his voice, Marcella also had a worried look on her face as she was deep in thought, it was rare to see the Goddess and God of War worry about war, as they normally would come up with a plan in just a few seconds."We're all

Chapter: Chapter 44: PowerfulOnce they went deeper into the village they could see the fire wielder shooting fire everywhere carelessly, The vampires tried to run but the fire around them would kill them in an instance. Lilith stared at the fire on the trees putting it out with ease, she knew she wasn't doing this by herself as she could feel Adrian's presence, she knew he could control fire with just a look. Her eyes moved to the fire wielders, Adrian used his magic to stop them from wielding fire. "You can go Adrian." And he did. "Jusbe eh osue." She whispered snapping the vampires' neck putting out the fire in the process. The fire wielder moved to run but Lilith wasn't going to let that happen. "Rapia." Ropes appeared wrapping around the fire wielders bodies and the vampires. "Bring them back to whatever holding cell you have, be quick I don't know how long their ability will be gone for." Kuan and the training guards did as told. "Leave the vampires, I need to have a chat with them.

They all turned to Lilith making her look up sighing. "Why are you all looking at me? I'm not your parents." She states as she continued her food, they continued looking at her for an answer. "Yes we're staying, I'm sure Ophelia and Marina need time to catch up, that would give Amethyst time to talk to the plants like she has been asking to do for a while and Darci some time to sleep." "You're gonna make a great mother," Darci said yawning making them yawn as well. "Yuie oisae." She heard Adrian her eyes moved to him. (My love in Crelaxos) "Missed me?" He smiles placing a kiss on her forehead, she sighed since he was astral projecting, so there weren't tingles as there would be in person. "Just wanted to check on you, and of course I miss you."

(Ocoaele - Mother & Uliyeni - Father in the ancient language of Seabriria - Uettisesh)"They only told everyone that to protect me," Marina told her as the place got colder and colder, Darci nor Lilith were used to this weather as they lived in a tropical climate, even in the winter it wasn't that cold, but Ophelia and Amethyst were used to the coldness as during the winter in Seabiria the waters are the coldest, and Amethyst, well she could get used to any environment with ease, she was the Goddess of Nature after all."What do you mean?" Ophelia asked what everyone was thinking, Lilith closed her eyes, letting Mara warm her up, her wolf fur was on Lilith's skin but it wasn't visible, Darci whispered a spell warming herself."Well, when I was born I was dying, slowly, no one knew why, Oc

Do you think the news will blow over?” He shrugged letting out a sigh. “I’m not sure. Maybe.” The uncertainty in his voice told me this would probably go on for weeks. “Did you make breakfast? She hasn’t eaten all day.” He shook his head. “I was just about to go out and meet a friend, but I can—” I stopped him as I offered him a smile.

This was probably the first time I’ve seen her so relaxed besides last night. I reached for my phone to check the time. It was 7 AM, shocking me. Amoy was usually up before 5 or 6, I wondered how long she stayed out on the balcony. I slowly and quietly removed her hands off me, replacing my body with a pillow before going into the bathroom, taking a shower and brushing my teeth. I was in the bathroom for a good 15 minutes

I silently watched as everyone gathered around the piano watching Olivia play a sweet melody. She was also another one of Amoy's competitors, I only knew so little of her, though her parents, Joseph and Kayla never stopped bragging about her fashion business. They said she dressed celebrities like Rihanna and Taylor. I had to admit though I barely spoke to her, she seemed down to earth and friendly, I mean in this family someone who didn't speak to you was as friendly as you could get.
