"You really think you'll be able to hear what they doing?"She shook her head at him."It's worth a try."He said,a few minutes passed by before he spoke in spanish she listened as he talked to them,his voice was soothing and wafting through her entire body gradually she felt their movement decreased,clearly whatever he said worked they listened to him.He kissed her belly and met her gaze the love she saw in his eyes was evident,her handsome husband whom she cannot picture a life without,he meant everything to her if she had to lose him her world won't exist."What did you tell them?Cause it seems it worked.""All I said was they should be good and allow their beautiful mother to get rest.""They not even here yet and already the bond between the four of you is so strong.""They know daddy is a very strict man and like things to be in order.""More like daddy is very demanding.""You love me either way."He pulled her into his arms."And I wonder why?""I'll happily show you why."He gri
"Even I cannot wait sweetheart."He heard her yawn."Tired.""Extremely,the comfort and warmth of your arms is also contributing.""Goodnight corazon."He kissed her temple,soon she was fast asleep,when she woke in the morning she was alone and still tired but she cannot sleep the whole day,Amelia was home today she should make the most of this Saturday with Max she has no idea when he'll leave.Getting out of bed in the morning these days was challenging she thought as she made her way into the bathroom.After her shower she got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast."Good morning everyone."She greeted Francesca and Michelle."Morning Mrs Torrés."They said in unison."How many times have I said call me Adriana please."She sat down at the kitchen island Francesca came and brought her tea."Thank you.""You're the lady of the house."Francesca said."Still,from now on I'm forbidding you to call me Mrs Torrés." She warned."It's Adriana and I won't have it otherwise.""As you wish."Michell
"No.She just came barging into my office before you got here and as always she keeps on throwing herself at me.Nothing happened I swear to you." The truth of his words shone clearly in his eyes but there's no reason why she can't play mad."It didn't look like nothing happen from where I was standing seems you enjoyed yourself alot.""That's bullshit!"She flinched and jumped at the same time due to the harshness in his voice."I'm sorry."He said after a minute when she stared at him eyes huge as saucers."I shouldn't have raised my voice like that,please believe me I'll never do something like that unto you.I love you.You're my world no woman can ever compare to you."She was about to open her mouth to talk when she got a strong kick in her stomach."Aaah!"She softly yelped,he was by her side in a flash she held onto him."You're okay?"She nodded."Come sit down."She let him lead her to the couch."Are they giving you a hard time again.""What can I say,they are your babies after all."He c
Through her cries he heard his phone rang,it stopped and started ringing again."I have to take that."He murmured close to her ear."It could be Miguel."Adriana wasn't too happy and groaned her displeasure.She listened as he spoke in spanish from his facial expression she could tell whatever was being said was serious.The call lasted for several more minutes then he hung up."You look worried?Is Daniella okay?""There was an accident at the site where the new offices will be.I'm gonna have to leave for London tonight."She cannot say she was happy but the situation sounded serious."Is anyone hurt?""I'm not sure."He helped her down,they went into his bathroom.Fifteen minutes later she exit the bathroom Max was busy talking on his phone,she used the time to look for her underwear she won't be able to wear it anymore so she might as well put it in her bag."What are you looking for?"Max asked behind her."My underwear.""I put it in your bag.""Thank you.""We have to leave.Ready."She nodd
"Once I find the right guy I will till then I'm not in a hurry.""Can I get you anything else?"Adriana offered."No,I'm good.I have to go my sister asked if I could baby sit for her tonight.""Okay thanks for stopping by and don't forget to call me when Marcella shows up announced.""Will do.Take care of yourself and those little ones.""Always."Her mind drifted to Marcella when Cameroon was gone,she wonder what she wants.She just got married then why was she still running after Max it's clear her feelings are strong Adriana wonder how deep it really went.Max called when she was having lunch and from his tone she could tell things were really bad."You don't sound so good.Is it that bad.""Yes,there was a blast on site looks like someone intentionally planted a bomb where some of the work men were working the police are investigating but we'll only know all the details once the investigation is done,one of the workers are seriously injured and is in hospital.""Do they know who did it.
"Did you hear that.""Most of it and it's clear she will hurt you to get what she wants be careful Adriana the woman is obsessed in getting him back does he know,have you told him."No and she wasn't planning to Max had enough to deal with at the moment."No,please don't mention anything to anyone promise me.""Adriana I-...""Promise me Cameroon,Max is away on business and the last thing he needs is to worry about an ex girlfriend who clearly has mental issues.I can handle this don't worry.""I hope I'm not gonna regret this."Cameroon whispered."I promise.""Thanks,I better go I'll see you soon."Cameroon nodded.Adriana was busy setting flowers on the dining room table when her phone rang it's been two and a half weeks since Max left the days are dragging by slowly.She misses him and wanted him to come home he calls whenever he wasn't too busy to check up on them.It's been a day since they've last spoken she hopes it was him calling,thankfully he hasn't asked about the flowers she ca
He was right she knows he was but she was still wary,he came over to her and cupped both her cheeks between his hands."What's wrong?""Nothing,what makes you think something is wrong.""You look agitated,uneasy."She forced a smile."I'm not,it's unusual for Michelle to leave without saying anything that's bound to worry me."He could see there was more going on and she won't say what."I'll call her.Why don't you sit down."She did as he said,a second later she heard him talking on the phone when he was done he came to sit down next to her."They're on their way she took Amelia to the park,there was nothing to worry about.Do you wanna go out for dinner tonight."She won't mind seeing people after she has been cooped up in the house."I'd love to.""I need a shower."He said standing up."Do you want me to join you."She asked."Are you tired."She shook her head,he took her hand and led her into the bathroom."Anything interesting happen when I wasn't here."She let him undress her."Apart fro
"Nothing much just wanted to see how you were doing it's almost time for the babies to be born you must be busy arranging for everything.""I'm all done.All that's left is their arrival.""Christine came by today.""I know she stopped by and brought a gift for the babies.""Sorry I haven't gotten anything for them but I will soon.""There's no need Cammy as long as you promise to come and babysit."Cameroon laughed."I'll think about it.""Now do you want to tell me the real reason why you called.""How do you know.""It's almost eight clearly whatever it is must be important you've never called this late.""I don't wanna worry you and this is a time when you should be focused on-....""Marcella was at the shop again.""Yes.""What did she want?""She left a small box here I opened it once she was gone there was pictures of you and Max in it your face is scratch out in all of them then there was one of her with Max and three babies, she also said it's almost time.I think it's time you
"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. Adriana is the love of my life and the mother of my kids.I've moved on so should you.""I can't live without you Max I love you.Please don't do this.""I don't love you,I love Adriana and that will never change.""No,you don't mean that.She forced you to say all this things didn't she.Didn't you!"She flung at Adriana."She didn't force me to say anything.Marcella you not well." His tone soften up a bit."You need help and I'll happily give it to you.Does your family know you here.""Don't touch me!"She snapped when he wanted to grab her ar
"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
