Roman

His grandfather's threats did nothing to him. He was ready to build his own life again just like his dad, okay not necessarily join the army like his dad did, but still he had enough money and other businesses like real estate, wine processing factories heck even auto motors to move on with his life.

What upset him was the fact that his grandpa thought his wife was some cheapskate! She was more than that. Mikaella was not a golddigger she was so much that he was ready to sacrifice everything just so she could be happy. And forcing himself on her wasn't what she'd call happiness.

Marga had already informed him while he climbed the stairs that Mick was awake which meant she'd ran back to her room once she discovered she was on his bed. With a sigh, he entered his room ready to do the necessary.

He was surprised seeing her on his couch with his shirt on but he kept the surprise hidden. Taking out the old duffel bag his sister had bought for him

    MikaellaShe traced her fingers on his stone hard chest. Gosh it felt so right. She didn't want to overthink it but were they okay? After the whole jumble of emotions, the steamy make out in the bathroom, did he think that she didn't want to be intimate with him because she didn't love him?The negative thoughts leaped in her brain one after the other. She loved this man. Straight from the moment she had Seth, she realized that she loved the man that had consoled her on her disastrous wedding night with tender kisses.Maybe it was fate playing it's tricks. She rubbed his chin grateful that for the first time in forever she was happily in love. But was it going to be long? Would their love be everlasting?"What are you thinking about?" Roman stirred in his sleep making Mikaella to get worked up a little.Laying on his chest, she whispered, "Nothing"Her fingers trailed once more on his pecks stopping at the tattoo on his right chest.

    MikaellaHer heart melted and the uncontrolled tears aimlessly left her eyes. With Roman's big hands snuggling her from behind, she smiled once more feeling the love from the two people infront of her more powerful than ever."I don't deserve your love maybe you are right. I'll never change, I'm still the same playboy you met back then. I'm still the same freaking idiot that never treasured you when you all of all people deserved so much. But one thing is for sure this playboy's heart is yours. You have my heart in your hands, it beats for you. You are in my head so much that every morning all I want is to wake up next you"Kevin paused while the rest of the Cervantes family as well as the medical staff in Santa Barbara hospital watched. Chloe with a cast on her hand stayed put on the bed and although Mikaella didn't want to say anything, the girl would definitely say yes this time.It was obviously written in her eyes. The way her eyes glittered

    RomanThirty minutes with her for lunch wasn't enough to quench the desire that ignited within him everytime he was with his wife. Lunch had gone pretty smoothly with her gasping now and then recalling how she had found her brother in bed with her best friend, Raquel.It had also come as a surprise to him in a way. He hadn't interacted with Gustavo that much but Raquel, sheesh, the woman was not his spectator. She was like a tornado in a calming day, a hurricane that would appear all of a sudden and wipe everything out. Ofcourse he pretty much deserved Raquel's hate for heartbreaking Mikaella countless times but still the woman was a lot to handle. Quite frankly, he didn't see Gustavo and Raquel lasting together for an year.Looking back at how Mick's beautiful face drove him crazy. He still wondered how in an instant a woman, not his type had really captured his heart that much. He loved her and he wished they could stay like that forever.Swingi

    ***** Marcus Pierce*****He was at the diner again, ordering what had brought them together in the first place. Sipping his cold beer, he reminisced how a certain brunette had lectured him out of the blue as to why junk foods weren't good for his health.'something as slimy as a greasy burger. Do you know how much grease is in that thing?' The girl with the curly hair and wide rimmed glasses had appeared infront of him and asked such an annoying question.The seventeen year old boy in him had challenged the girl by asking,'Naah why don't you enlighten me, short stuff'Shorty. That nickname always suited her best. It was so funny when she was mad plus adding to her short height, the whole scenario was quite amusing. After huffing the air she had held for so long, she sighed,"All am saying is that if you wanna live long enough to see Bil Clinton retire as president, eating burgers from this place is a step in the wrong direction""You don't say?" He had chuckled

    Mikaella"Do not sass me young man!" She shouted, her finger pointed at her son.She couldn't understand where the new attitude came from. Since when did Seth become a naughty kid? Ice cream before dinner? Videogames before he removed his uniform? Making tantrums just to get what he wanted?Had she and Roman really spoiled him that much?"But mom, my friends play videogames all the time,"Seth huffed angrily.Mikaella stopped chopping the tomatoes and looked at her son."Well they don't have strict moms like you do and I'm hoping the conversation stops here. No way in hell am I letting you play videogames again for the fifth time this week. Has Marga been too good with you, is that what this is?""Arggh you are soo frustrating!" Seth shouted."Apologize. Apologize kiddo" Roman's voice came from behind,"she's your mom, you gotta respect her"Roman appeared out of the blue and Seth rolling his eyes apologized,

    RomanShe looked so beautiful while fast asleep. Her little snores soared throughout their room and as always she had already yanked the blanket to her side of the bed. So typical of Mikaella!He wiped away the stray strands of hair from her face, tucking them behind her ear. The pinkish and purplish part of her skin on the neck made him ashamed. Hurting her was the last thing on his mind last night. The sudden urge to make her his yesterday was great.Maybe the possibility of losing her anytime soon for a mistake he did drove him to insanity. He would protect his family come what may. He once more stared at the hickey on her neck. The mark of his bad behavior was inflicted on her neck and even though she didn't know it everything he did last night, every single act of pleasure on her was to mark her. Claim her as his because he could sense a storm brewing. A storm that would be brought by Marcus Pierce.He leaned his head towards her face wa

    ****Marcus Pierce****Colt and Joe had already sent him her location. Or more so their location. Who knew that Mikaella Sandoval Cervantes would tag along with Chloe at the right time he so badly wanted to appear back in her life?It was merely killing two birds with one stone. His car parked on an alley just between some buildings, he watched her sister in law prance from one store to another with her friends. It surprised him that Mikaella was also in Chloe's groupie. Quite frankly, the entire time he had spent with her, Mikaella never seemed one to be with the crowd. She liked being carefree and independent kinda like a man solo army. No matter, it didn't matter. She didn't matter.Killing his engine he got out of his car, straightened his leather coat and kicked the car door shut with his leg. Time for action.Crossing the road, he was able to catch up with the group of women before they yet again visited another boutique."Marcus!" M

    Roman"How bad was it?""Well she yelled at me and hasn't spoken a word to me since we got home"Don't! You do not get to say you were jealous. Roman, there's something called trust. Marcus is my friend. My friend! Say it with me 'F R I E N D' No! Don't apologize. You always do this. Today was supposed to be my day. My day of being with Chloe, getting to know her better but noo leave it to my husband to do what he does best. If you say sorry one more time, I swear I'll smack you and those bruises on your face will be the last thing to worry about. He recalled her scoldings word by word. She was pissed, so much that the drive back home was silent. After the fight earlier, both Chloe and her friends as well as he, Mick and Marcus were banned from the store. Nonetheless, the bastard got what he deserved. Mikaella was angry at him for the moment but as time went by she would get over it, he at the moment was concerned about his family.The i

    **Eight years later***"Dad! You came!" Kylie squealed jumping into Marcus' arms."I wouldn't miss it for the world princess",he spoke, parting from the embrace and giving her the purple wrapped gift."What about Pop-pop and Meemaw?" She asked looking behind him to see whether they were behind him."Unfortunately your grandfather had to bail at the last minute, something came up. Meemaw was right behind me, she's probably taking something from the car. Anyway, happy sweet sixteen, princess. Or should I say hashtag sixteen, hashtag sweet sixteen? Hashtag adobs""Eew, stop! Just stop! Happy birthday will do",Kylie chuckled.Mikaella and Roman were by the chocolate brunch flirting as always and at the same time wondering when Seth would get to the party. Kylie and Seth were bonded so much that they had an insane love for chocolate and so much that when Seth went to college, Kylie wanted to go to college with him too. The people murmured against themselves asking when the cake would be cu

    Mikaella"You don't have to do this",another voice soared in the room and a pissed James turned to stare at the man standing by the door.Marcus stood cautiously by the door and Mikaella felt relieved that he was there."Daddy!" Kylie screamed wriggling in James' arms."One more step and the kid gets it. Don't tempt me!"James shouted placing the nozzle of the gun on top of Kylie's head."Look, man. She's just a kid. Leave her and her mother and take me instead. I can get you cash, ten million, twenty-any amount you want",Marcus reasoned taking another step into the house."Not another step!"James shouted pressing the gun on Kylie's head harder and Mikaella cried praying that her kid wouldn't get hurt."Money? You think I want money from you? You should have let her die maybe then my family wouldn't be dragged into this mess. You are so clueless, aren't you? I'm not here for money and I don't want to do this but Leonardo has my family! It's a good thing you came, you are supposed to di

    MikaellaHer week had taken quite the somersault, she couldn't imagine that just a while ago she was in New Zealand worrying about what to cook for supper and the foundation's well being. Now she was worried about more trivial things, if Marcus had gotten released today as Roman had promised, if it was right to even go back to Roman and how Kylie would take the whole situation.She had been cooped in the condo for hours now, the logical thing at the moment was to start packing. To start preparing for a new life as Mikaella Sandoval Cervantes.Kylie was in her bedroom sleeping after an exhausting morning of playing horsie as she called it with Knuckles. Pouring the last of the coffee in her mug, she grabbed the mug heading to her bedroom to occupy herself with packing clothes she didn't really like into suitcases she hadn't even bought."I don't even like yellow",she sighed looking at the bright yellow dress on her bed.The other dresses next to her bed were even brighter than that on

    MikaellaᕙShe had worn Elizabeth's clothes inorder to fool the guards standing outside her door. The plan worked and right now she was on her way to Men's Central Jail.Within no time, she was standing outside the place where Marcus was being kept wondering if it was a good idea to even step foot in there. Was she even ready to face him? It was too late now, to back down."Name?"The sheriff asked and she answered Marcus Pierce. I'm here to see Marcus Pierce.It was a good thing he didn't ask who she was because she had no clue how to answer the question. She was his wife or atleast she thought she was his wife.The sheriff got out a bunch of keys opening the metallic door for her. The door creaked open and there was a certain silence that creeped her out. She followed the Sheriff walking behind him meekly. There were all kinds of people in there, one of the guys in there had a tooth, another was missing an eye, another had a scar on his face that looked like either he was burnt by h

    RomanHe must have been way in his head if he thought that just because he found her, they would be one happy family.'Give her time' Most people told him that, but how much time had he lost not being with her?They couldn't understand him, understand how he was feeling after seeing her after so long. He was driving to Lisa's house, she atleast needed to hear everything from him than from another person. He knew he was going to hurt her but the truth had always hurt and at the same time let people free. His wife was back and like a love struck teenager his feelings for her were stronger. Maybe stronger than even before now that he knew he had a daughter and Lisa needed to know that. That he cared for her but he still loved his wife.At first he doubted Kylie was his daughter, which is why hours later after Marcus was brought back from New Zealand with the help of the police, Roman had been the first to visit him in prison. It pissed him off, how Marcus asked about Mikaella and Kylie

    MikaellaShe sipped the wine that came with the condominium. Sitting on a warm fuzzy couch, her eyes raked the world outside the huge glass window. All her life was a lie. All those eight years with Marcus were nothing but a made up fairytale.She couldn't help thinking about what her son said. Seth wanted a mother so bad, he needed a mother by his side but she on the other hand had shut him out of her mind, had shut everyone out of her mind. What had she done to deserve such punishment, such torture?"Don't cry mom",Kylie came to her clutching Mr Knuckles in her hands.Atleast she had Knuckles with her, after everything that happened, Mikaella was sure that the new environment would torment Kylie as much as it tormented her. Which is why, she asked everyone to give her space so that she could process everything.Roman was quick to reject the decision she made but at the end of the day, her brother Gustavo thought it best. So hours later, she and her daughter were in a luxurious condo

    MikaellaIn every action movie, there was always this guy who would say something dumb like 'expect the unexpected '. The dumb thing about it was that once he bravely let those three words out his mouth, there was no manual that came along with it. No list of instructions on how to confront the unexpected or how to react to the unexpected or what the unexpected really was to begin with.Kind of like how her life was at the moment. A whole bucket load of unexpected shit hit her whack in the face and there was no way to confront it, no way to tackle it because in the first place nothing made sense. It was like being hit in the head and waking up in a totally new world, where no one made sense, nothing made sense and the environment didn't make sense either.The more she stared at her shaky palms the more she felt like going crazy, her mind drowning in a whirlpool of questions. Who was she? It was like starting from square one again. Like the exact moment the doctor asked if she remember

    Roman"You tell him to get a good place to hide because I'll sure as hell kill him once I get my hands on him",Roman threatened the woman standing in her living room scared."And where exactly are you taking her? Her husband deserves to know- I'll call the police if I have to,"she fired back and Roman didn't flinch.He had an unconscious Mikaella in his arms unwillingly to let her go. With an angry grunt, he tightened the grip on her waist leaving the house in a hurry and his men following close behind. As soon as she was secure in his car, the driver revved the engine and they were on their way to the airport.He was determined to get her home. He had promised Mick's parents that they would definitely see her. Getting the phone from his pants, he dialed Gustavo's number."I have her. It's her. It's really her but she can't remember. She can't remember anyone. Gather the best doctors from the world, we are going to bring our Mick back, Gus",he said smiling from sheer happiness."I-i'l

    MikaellaSomething terribly fishy was going on, just the other night she had been knocking on Elizabeth's door and no one seemed home. Actually she hadn't seen her for a couple of days now since they had that talk."You are telling me they eloped to come here? What, maybe they eloped again? You know how young love is", Carmen suggested but Ruby couldn't shake off the queer feeling in her chest.If they eloped again Elizabeth would have told her, maybe thank her for everything before saying goodbye. Plus, a little prying about the Hendersons from Marcus and she found out Bill Henderson wasn't planning to move anytime soon. His wife had a great job here and so did he so why then would they sell their house?"Why don't we forget about it. So how was New York?" Ruby asked taking a sip of the coffee infront of her."Turns out I'm destined to never find love, be it in New York or here.
