She wore a tight fit red dress that fell above her knees it had a v-neck,black heels were on her feet and she made her hair ontop of her head,as she headed down the stairs she heard the front door open,she stopped and watched as he appeared at the foot of the steps.For several minutes they stood and gazed at one another.Max doesn't think he'll ever get used to her beauty and the gorgeous smile she keeps on giving him when she sees him,it held so much love he would've been an idiot if he hadn't notice her feelings over the past weeks the glow she has upon seeing him,the warmth in her voice whenever she calls and speak to him then there was the flowers she always sends every week to his office.In such a short time she has made herself an inseparable part of his life.He watched as she descended the last few steps towards him,his eyes closed when she lightly kissed him on the lips he inhale her fresh clean scent,this is one woman that will be the end of him,one woman that will bring him

He lightly touched her cheek with his fingertips allowing it to trail down her arm,he stopped briefly at her breast cupping it,she moaned and smiled.Even in her sleep she responds to his touch,his sweet Adriana.He's seen some changes in her,some days she wakes up tired not in the mood to face the day,some mornings she has alot of energy ready to take on the world.Her stamina for doing it has multiplied,there are days when she eats alot and some days when food didn't hold any appeal,he's notice the changes in her body too.The other night when they were done making love in the shower he had seen her breasts were bigger and fuller compared to the first time he had seen them when she had been a virgin her nipples and areola were darker and bigger.A slight swell at her abdomen,she's even gained a few pounds,since they started making love not once has he seen her get her period or talk about it.He quickly sat upright?Could it be what he think it was.Could she be pregnant?It would explain

She shook her head."Are you stressing?Any new project you working on that's giving you sleepless nights.""No,nothing."She said."There has to be a reason why your blood pressure is so high unless of course if you pregnant.Are you?"She asked after a while."No,I don't think so.""Do you know why you in hospital."She nodded."Well I would say you dehydrated and exhausted that's the reason you fainted,I've put you on an IV to give your body the supplements it needs.We've run a few tests and they should be back in the next few hours we'll keep you here until then.""Is it really necessary for me to stay here."She began."Yes it is,as I said your blood pressure is worrying we need to monitor it and bring it down.If it goes any higher than a hundred and forty you could suffer from cardiac arrest,get a stroke or heart attack this is serious Mrs Torrés and until we know the reason why your blood pressure is so high we cannot let you leave."Adriana slumped back on her pillow she was at a loss

"Then why did you say Amelia will be glad that she won't be alone anymore."She jumped in."If you'll give me a chance to finish."She kept quiet."As I said there isn't anything seriously wrong with you we didn't find anything worrying.But I'm glad to tell you you're pregnant and that explains all your symptoms.""Pregnant?"She said dumbstruck."I'm pregnant.""Yes."Doctor Spencer confirmed."We'll do a ultrasound to see how far along you are and determine the date of your delivery and you'll get to see how many babies you gonna have.Your hcg levels are high you could be carrying multiple."Adriana felt the room spin again she laid down again she doesn't know what's more shocking.Finding out you're pregnant or learning you could be carrying twins.The dream she had about her and Max playing with triplets entered her mind,please god no."You okay?"Max asked,he gently stroked her hair."You knew."She said,meeting his gaze."We'll talk at home for now let doctor Spencer do her work."He kissed

"I knew she looked familiar."Adriana said."I just couldn't place her where,a picture of you two were printed in the paper the following day it was front page news,now I remember.She's beautiful why did you refuse to marry her.""She's a part of my past I'd rather forget and not talk about.My only concern at this moment is you,as for you opening up your second shop it can wait until after the pregnancy.""What!Max that will be after a year.""Exactly,for this whole duration of the pregnancy you'll only focus on yourself and the babies I know Cameroon will do a great job in managing the place without you.I'm not about to take any chances and put one of you at risk.I won't.""Max I'm not the type of person to be confined to a bed all day I'll go crazy."She argued."You'll have to learn starting now,alot can go wrong this early in your pregnancy."And that scares him he thought. "Promise me you'll take things slow."She could see he was worried about them."I promise."She cupped his jaw."Yo

"Glad to see you enjoying my suffering.Put me down I did say I want to go for a walk and not be carried around."He gently sat her down."Thank you."She said,she was about to stalk off ahead of him when he pulled her back and kissed her,she melted instantly it's been so long since he's kissed her like this.So long since his lips has tasted hers and explored her mouth his tongue gently coaxed her mouth open she willingly gave him entry allowing him in and at the same time taking too.A soft moan came from her,she pressed herself even more closer holding on more tightly drinking him in,she's missed him.She felt his hand around her neck holding her head still he kissed her passionately,tenderly it moved through her.She could feel the love behind it and it made her own heart bloom and swell further with the love she has for him.For how long they stood kissing she has no clue but when he pulled away they were breathing heavily he rest his chin ontop of her head,she could hear his heart beat

"Stop defending her!You're my husband.It's her fault if she hadn't come into our lives none of this would've happen we would be happy.""That's not true.We broke up long before I married her.You also married and the baby you lost wasn't mine.""No,you lying to me."She looked so devastated Adriana felt sorry for her."I'm not."Max said."Why Max."She finally said after a while."Why her and not me?""Because I love her Marcella,whatever we had is over.

"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

"Morning."She flashed him that gorgeous smile every bone in his body melt,will he ever get used to her beauty."Max?"He heard her say."What is it."His tone not too gentle he cursed himself when he saw her flinch the confusion clear in her eyes he went over to the closet when he returned she was standing at the foot of the bed softly stroking Amara's back,her night dress left little to his already lustful imagination and thoughts good thing he was fully clothed."Max?"The tenderness in her voice forced him to look at her."I'm sorry,I didn't have a great night.""Is that all."She probe,she could see the hesitation in his eyes when he blinked it was gone."Is something bothering you.""No."He eventually said."I'm late for work."He leaned closer and kissed Amara before she could say anything he was gone. Adriana wonder what happened for him to snap like that she hopes everything was okay at work.He didn't even kiss her goodbye when he left which made her worry even further.Has he heard f

"I have to take care of some work I'll join you later."Max said the second they stepped into the house."Okay."She replied and proceeded upstairs,firstly she checked on the boys they were sleeping soundly.In their room she slowly got undressed she headed over to her closet and slipped on her night dress.She was exhausted, she hasn't even went by the hospital to see Amara today, her baby was coming home in a weeks time and she was excited they will finally be together all of them and she cannot wait.She went to lay down but after an hour of tossing and turning she gave up and got out of bed wearing her shoes and taking the baby monitor she went outside maybe a walk on the beach will help clear her mind. She wonder how her life would've turned out if she hadn't met Max, where would she and Amelia be.He really has turned her whole world upside down,she never imagined she would love someone the way she loves him.Was it even possible to love anyone this much...so strongly?She sighed deep

She went to bed alone that night and couldn't shut a wink,Max didn't come to bed until early morning he didn't touch her neither did he sleep under the sheets,but she could still feel his body heat warming her up.She wanted to turn and reach out to him but didn't,eventually she fell asleep.The next morning her phone ringing woke her up she saw it was Cameroon."Cammy?"She murmured."Morning and sorry for calling so early I just want to hear how you holding up."She sat upright."I'm fine?What's wrong?""I guess you haven't read the morning paper or watched the news."Cameroon said.Adriana was instantly awake."No,I haven't.What happened?""I hate to be the bearer of bad news.""Spit it out already!"She anxiously said."There are pictures of Max and Marcella all over the news and paper,it's front page news and I hate to say this but it looks bad Adriana."Without saying anything she dropped the call and switched on the television the first thing she saw was a picture of Max and Marcella n
