"Why did you do that?"She asked."It's late,and I'm enjoying my wife in my arms."She buried her face in his neck his scent surrounding her."It could be important maybe it's work related besides I know not many people have your personal number."She had a point he thought and on cue it rang again. "Answer."She urged."We almost home and I want you all to myself without any disturbance."He checked to see who it was but the caller id showed unknown."Torrés."He said down the line."Max.."He heard Marcella say on the other end.His whole body became rigid every cell in him turned ice cold. Adriana lifted her head to look at Max when she felt his body stiffen under hers.The look in his eyes was empty and that scared her."I miss you my love."She said in spanish."I miss your arms around me.""How dare you call me."His tone devoid of any emotion Adriana knew he was talking to Marcella."We could've been so happy together,we still can be.Don't you want me.Don't you love me anymore?""Goodbye Ma

On the other hand she doesn't want to worry Max more than he already is,that's the only reason she was biting her tongue and not saying anything.Her babies are growing so fast they are four months and feeding like there's no tomorrow Max was proud that they are growing by day he's really looking forward in teaching the boys all the guy stuff.Tonight Michelle will stay longer to assist Maria with the triplets Max had said they don't have to stay long.When Heather had seen the kids on her two day visit in Florida she had been in awe of them even telling Adriana that her daughter will date one of the boys when they'll be grown or both Adriana had laughed at the comment.She had also appreciated the fact that Heather didn't probe or ask questions regarding the Max,Marcella saga, walking over to her dresser she put on her diamond earrings with matching necklace that Max has gifted her for their one year wedding anniversary.He casually strolled into the bedroom she saw he was putting on t

"You won't because I'm never letting you go."He promised gently he tilt her chin to look at him."I won't ever allow anyone to harm you in any way."His mouth swooped down to claim hers in a tender soft kiss as always she was lost in an instant."Will I ever get enough of you."She groaned when they pulled apart.He chuckled."Even I cannot get enough of you.""My life.My everything."She tenderly stroked his cheek."How about we leave for a couple of days.Just us,me you and the kids let's get away from all this,to a place where no one will find us.""As much as the idea entices we both know Amara isn't strong enough to travel far.""I just want things to go back to the way they were.""Me too sweetheart and I promise you we will go back to the way things were.""What are we gonna do about Marcella?"She asked."First of all there is no 'we' I'll handle everything on my own I'm not going to put you in harms way.The kids still need you and so do I.""You really think she will hurt me?""When

Adriana was speechless hearing Max confess his love for her so openly left her numb,if she has ever doubt his love for her she now heard with her own ears to what extend Max loves her.A love as theirs only comes once and she was honoured that a man such as him loves her the way he does."That's love my friend it makes you forget about what's right or wrong when it comes to the people you love."Sam responded."I never thought I'd ever see you fall in love.""Well I guess there's a woman for every man out there.""And Adriana is that woman for you.""She's more than that and I'll do anything to prove to her how much I love her and will never betray her or her trust.Finding Marcella is crucial I know she won't just give up on me not until Adriana is out of the picture.She tried to break us up and didn't succeed one thing is certain she will try something else.""I'll dig further see if I can't find anything else.Why don't you take Adriana and the kids away for a while until we have found

Max had fetched the triplets around dawn when they had began to cry now all three of them were lying between them,she smiled as she gazed down at their sleeping forms.Bright morning light was shining through the windows their dad looked irresistible not able to resist she touched his cheek and allowed her hand to trail down his bare chest,she's had him the whole night and still her hunger to have him was fierce."The triplets are here,unless if you prepared for them to find their parents in a compromising position I'd advise you to stop."He said facing her with that sexy grin."You so delectable it's not my fault I cannot have enough of you."He grabbed her wrist and brought her hand close to his lips Adriana's toes curled when his breath lightly caressed her fingers,automatically her eyes fell shut when he kissed her hand.Why should he have a right to make her feel this way."I love how you respond every time I touch you."He murmured against her knuckles."Your touch is intoxicating,I

Avery gently closed the door to the triplets bedroom,soon enough they gonna split up,except for the girls who'll be sharing a room.Alex is downstairs in the study busy with work she's in her last month of pregnancy so he has taken time off to be with her,to make sure she's on bed rest and not on her feet. Having him home is a godsend,she cannot imagine her life without him.She can't wait for the birth having to carry around all this weight is getting to her she cannot run after the triplets anymore from the moment they began walking they've done nothing but mischief.Taking care of them is a mission which is something that takes all of her energy,day in and day out.If it isn't for Alex lord knows she wouldn't have survived.It's amazing how his presence alone instill orders and the manner in which they listen to him when he talk is even more astonishing whereas when it comes to her it's a totally different story they always end up doing the opposite of what she says.Hence Alex had sa

"Because of the babies."She whispered softly,averting her gaze from his.Now she's beginning to wonder if he knows the truth or not.Him doing all of this tells her he doesn't because if he had she doubts he would've done all of this for her."Alex...I need to tell you something.""Me too sweetheart."He was by her side so fast she hardly had time to blink, her face is cupped between his hands.She can see his wounds have been addressed. "Finally,I see things clearer now.This one hour has given me time to think and I've come to know I don't want to spend the rest of my life without you."Avery is so caught of guard that she could do nothing but glare at him in shock."What I have and feel for you I've never felt for any woman.Not even Paola.I never could understand my possessiveness towards you.Why it angers me when other men look or touch you.I never could understand why but the truth has been staring me in the face all this time.I was too blind to see it."That very same glow she'd seen i

"And this is where it will end."Alex told him."Show time corazon..."He said with a evil smile as he looked at her."Whenever you ready,start by taking off your dress.Slowly."He added."I'm sorry."She mouthed to Alex,her eyes full of tears."I love you....""Arghh...!"Alex growled in anger,the chair he was sitting on shaking as he tried to free himself,blood was beginning to drip from his wrists.She turned around not able to watch as he was bleeding. Hands shaking she began to lower the straps of her dress.She had wore stockings again,white ones to surprise Alex tonight when they were gonna make love,she never wanted him to see them like this.Her dress was resting on her hips when Nick stopped her from pushing it further down."Turn around,I want him to look at you.I want to see the hurt,the pain in his eyes as he looks at you and can't do a damn thing about it.""I can't."She murmured past her aching throat."Isn't having me enough.""No.Turn around or I'll do it for you."He threatened.

"I hope not."He answered,his heart is racing not knowing why she isn't here is driving him nuts.He saw Pablo standing at the door of the church,he rushed over to him."Where is senora?"Alex touched the collar of his shirt it has blood on it."Where is Avery Pablo.""I'm sorry senor.I didn't see him.He blindsided me,he took senora Avery.When I came to I found this in my pocket."He handed him a note.After reading it he told Pablo."Don't tell anyone anything about this.If anyone asks say I went to look for senora.I'll be back."He rushed to his car.Slowly her eyelids fluttered opened,Avery gazed around her she has no clue where she is.Her head is so heavy, lifting her hand she saw they are bound even her feet too.She's no longer wearing her wedding gown,the last thing she remembers.....oh no she thought as everything fell into place.Nick.He kidnapped her.Her eyes fell on the room again strangely enough it feels familiar as if she's been here before,her eyes fell on the bed.Oh God where i

He smiled at her comment."See you next week Kate."He quietly closed the door behind him and left.On his way home he thought about what he and Kate spoke about.Everyone has been telling him that he's in love with Avery but he doesn't know it.How do you behave when you're in love?What gestures do you do or make when you love someone.He's seen and felt the level of affection she has bestowed upon him,and there are days when he feels something burst inside his chest and he has no clue what it is or how to handle it.He has a lot to figure out. Starting by how he's gonna tell Avery that he has a therapist and next week they going for a session together.He wonders why Kate wants Avery there too. Is it because he's been mentioning her a lot or is she seeing something he doesn't.Checking his watch it's still early,he'll go to the office then home.When the clock struck ten Avery went to bed,she's been waiting for Alex yet again but he's a no show.Yesterday he had send her flowers.Her favori

"That's just it Alex."She cut across him."I do care,I care about everything that's got to do with you.You've worked so hard to be where you are now and make a success of yourself and I refuse for you to put that on the line.Cause that's exactly what's gonna happen if I go to trail.Nick's lawyers will probably do their best to show that I wanted what happened even though that's not the case.I'll be paint as a slut,probably a prostitute too.""Don't say that nonsense about yourself.""I'm only stating what's gonna be said or thought of by many.How will that make me look in the eye of a jury.""I have the best attorneys that will handle your case.You have nothing to worry about.Nick won't get away with what he's done.""I don't care about Nick.I care about you and what happens to you.Please try to understand where I'm coming from.I accepted my verdict eight years ago,I've moved on and I'm happy,because I have you and our adorable mischievous babies.I don't want or need anything else.And
