Chapter: 42I reread the same line over again, waiting for something to change. It wasn't possible that I was pregnant. I wanted to scream but I couldn't find my voice and I didn't even feel as bothered as I thought I'd feel.For some reason it felt like fate had intentionally played this card. Now I felt like I had another purpose. I never thought I'd be ready to carry a child but I felt satisfied even knowing it belonged to Frank. I had someone of my own to raise and love the way I wanted to.This meant that I needed to plan my life out as best as I could and as quickly as possible.I needed to hire my team and grow the millions I had in my bank account. If I spent too long, I would end up exhausting all that cash without making anything from it.Suddenly all my headache was gone and nothing mattered to me except Frank, I didn't want to bump into him at any time soon. I wanted him far away from my life and I couldn't even trust anyone at this point.I was going to work on leaving the country, s

Chapter: 41Getting to the ground floor and not minding all the stares that came with me running through the hallway, I waved the driver over. I knew it would take a good while before the elevator got to him again and he surely wouldn't want to embarrass himself by running after me in nothing but his boxers, knowing how well news spread like wild fire especially since everyone was interested in knowing what was happening to the Marcello brand after his death."Just take me home." I directed the driver. My head was fuming hot and a terrible headache had formed where my thoughts had been surrounded by what had just happened."Can you fucking drive any faster?" I groaned when I realised how slow he was being."Yes ma'am." He nodded and increased the speed. In this moment, I couldn't think about anything or anyone, not even Bianca even though at the back of my mind, I wished I could have taken her with me, she must have been so scarred to witness what had just occurred.I didn't wait for the driver t

Chapter: 40When Frank left for work I decided to check on Bianca in her room where I knew she would be sitting on the bed with her iPad and her messy hair."Hey baby what's up?" I called after knocking and going in, closing the door behind me."Don't you have work to be at?" She rolled her eyes at me barely looking up from her iPad.I sat beside her on the edge of the bed, look baby girl I know you're upset but trust me dad is only trying to do what is best for us for you especially and on the bright side I decided to take today off working just so we could spend some time together so why don't you get yourself cleaned up and you and I just have some girl time." I spoke in an excited tone with hope that she would match my energy.I heaved a sigh, "Bianca you can't stop talking to me, OK what do you want to do?""I just want attention from my father is that too much to ask for, I'm just a child and he spends every single day of his life working and he doesn't listen to anything I want he thinks th

Chapter: 39"Morning babe." I stretched, sitting up in bed. It had been three months since Marcello died and that meant it had been three months since I'd been sleeping in this room every night but I was still yet to get used to the luxury of our bedroom. It still marveled me every single morning."Morning." Frank called back in a lazy voice, groaning as he said my name. He swung his arm around me as though we had nowhere to go.I gently slid his hand away and got to my feet, "come on babe, get up, we have places to be." I was attempting to move away when he held my wrist and forced me back down to the bed."Frank!" I chuckled at his behaviour.He opened his eyes and tried to settle himself on top of me. "Not even a little morning kiss.""Ew, your breath stinks." I said, dodging his kiss. When he leaned away from me, I planted a soft kiss on his lips and got to my feet, "you know we can't be lste for work." He groaned his disapproval and lazily got to his feet. I offered him a small smile, "come

Chapter: 38"Frank!" I yelled on top of my voice knowing I should leave to go get help but also not wanting to leave a hurt mam by himself. There was no way Frank would hear me even if I kept screaming on top of my lungs.I tried to help Marcello sit on the floor. He was still coughing hard and his nose bleed was worsening. "Just sit right here, I'll be back in a second." My chest rose and fall as I turned to leave and get help.Frank and Bianca were laughing over something by the time I showed up. They turned to look at me and when they saw the panic on my face, Frank left her side to stand by me, "Hey, are you okay? Did he do something to you?" He ran his eyes all over me to find an anomaly. I wished that was honestly the case."No," I shook my head fast, "Marcello, he's hurt." I swallowed and left his side.Frank hurried with me to the room where Marcello was and by the time we got there, he was unconscious, sprawled across the floor with blood streaming dow

Chapter: 37"Frank, what are we going to do?" I panicked internally. Frank was immediately stepping into action while I wondered what it was I could do to help. Two masked men had gotten into the car with us, "keep your hands where we can see them!" One of them bellowed on top of his voice.My only fear in that moment was Bianca. Although she was still asleep, I feared she would wake up to something that could possibly traumatise her for quite a while.Frank and I looked at each other and the men that had been helping us with driving and we were going to raise our hands when our driver suddenly pulled a gun out.My eyes went wide and he assured us with a scared look plastered on his face, "I'll handle this."The masked men seemed frightened in their countenance even though we could not see their reactions. My heart skipped knowing that these men had been driving with a gun this whole time but it did come off in handy now.It worked in our f
