Aaliyah couldn't sleep after Antonio had gotten up, she picked up her phone texting Tia.
AALIYAH
How's life without me?
TIA
A lot of fun, I get to do anything and you'll never know
AALIYAH
Do whatever you want as long as it's not on my bed
TIA
Fine, gtg, I have a quiz
Aaliyah was about to reply went Antonio came out of the shower towel around his waist, showing off his abs and muscle, she pictured the things she could do with her ton-- Aaliyah shook those thoughts out of her head. She met his eyes, realizing he was looking at her, she turned away looking at her phone as if he didn't see her staring.
He took a seat beside her leaning in to place a kiss on her lips, she closed her eyes, slowly. "You want me to kiss you." He states, moving back, she shook her head, he smiles. "You can't deny it, every time, I touch you or stare at you, you have this emotion swirling around
-Chapter 14: Wet-A few days past, Aaliyah and her family were in the living room talking. Aaliyah had just come home from work, they began asking her questions about Antonio as they hadn't seen him in days, neither had Aaliyah, he started to stay home and work for a while, so she didn't have anything to do at the office but send him his schedule and write up some emails he needed.Tony was most like helping him with everything. "Aaliyah where is Antonio?" Her aunt, Elizabeth asked."Home, working." She told her, scrolling through her phone."He's been at home working a lot when is he going to visit?" Her uncle, Jorge asked, she shrugs."He's very busy.""With the model Melissa?" Aaliyah's eyebrow raised, she heard that name before, her brother, Noah who had said that showed him the latest news on Antonio, she shrugs."They're friends, I met her before," Aaliyah didn't know for sure, but she needed to get them of
-Chapter 15: Worlds-Aaliyah took a shower, cleaning herself of her orgasm, her legs were wobbling a bit but she managed to change into the clothes she kept in the bathroom, before going outside, Antonio was sitting up, shirtless as he texted someone.He turned as he heard the door close, putting down his phone he said, "Come here." Those words made her insides tingle as she walked over to him, he placed her on his lap. "I think you should know, I haven't slept with anyone since our contract, I'm sorry if I made you feel an emotion you didn't want to feel it wasn't my intention." She smiles shaking her head."I should be sorry, I don't know why I kept getting into my moods, I'm irritating myself and you." He smiles"You're not irritating me, I like the spice you bring into our relationship." She laughs."Spice?" He shrugs."What happens now?" He asked softly moving her hair behind her ear."We pretend this never happen
-Chapter 16: Bathroom-Aaliyah and Britany sat in the couch outside talking to a few women and men who decided to join them, Aaliyah was a little uncomfortable from their stares but she pushed it away as she faked a smile, as she sipped her wine, wishing Antonio would quickly come back.Antonio. Her mind slipped back into the thoughts of him, and a certain memory from a few days ago came rushing back in her mind, it even made her blush slightly as she remembered the places his hand went and the things they did."Aaliyah how long have you and Antonio been together, the news of your marriage is rather new." One of the men asked Mr Tian she believed."It seems like forever b-" Her phone rang. "Excuse me, I have to take this." They nod watching as she walked inside answering the phone, only it was her alarm just in case she needed to get out of there, Aaliyah took up two glasses of wine ready to drink them, but a voice stopped her."Aal
-Chapter 17: Comfortable-Aaliyah and Antonio were currently in the car driving Aaliyah home, to the penthouse. Her mind went back to the bathroom before Aaliyah could have answered someone interrupted them, she then wondered in Antonio was thinking about the kissed they shared in the bathroom, she smiled softly."You know you're very confusing," Antonio spoke up, she turned to him, she raised her eyebrow."What do you mean by that?""You said you don't like me yet, you kiss me and let me touch you in places that are not to be spoken out loud." Her eyes met his. "And you also said we should pretend it never happened but you kissed me in the bathroom of my parent's home.""In my defence, you kissed me all those times." He nods."Yes, but you kissed me back all those times." His hand moved to her thigh, she licked her lips as she felt her whole body react to that one action."Who am I to deny a kiss?" He smiles, leaning
-Chapter 18: Interviews-After the meeting Aaliyah and Antonio went into his office, discussing the points they made."That one was shit." Antonio states, Aaliyah smiles."You've said that about all of them, let's just pick one." He nodded agreeing looking through the different papers."How about this one?" He asked giving her one, as he looked over the rest."Maybe, look for a backup, I'll put this one in the HJK file." She told him as she got up going into the file closet, looking for the file."Where is it?" She asked."Far back to the left." Aaliyah looked but couldn't find it. "Still can't find it?" She shook her head, he got up, going into the cabinet taking it out."You're blind." She scoffs, taking the file adding the new one to it."What time is it?" She asked."6:48 pm." He told her as he wrote down something on a piece of paper."I need to get ready, is it bad if I wear this to th
-Chapter 19: Frustration-A few weeks past, Aaliyah and Tia were getting some coffee before Aaliyah went to work."So how's it going with Antonio?""Great, though he's acting like he's on his period." She told Tia as she picked up their order."How?" Tia asked as the exit the coffee shop, they began walking since the company wasn't too far from here."He's very moody and possessive." Tia smiled."Reminds me of a book I read." Aaliyah rolled her eyes, as she sipped her coffee. "So when was the last time he touched you?" Tia asked in which Aaliyah shrugs."Few weeks, I told him, he's only allowed to touch me when I give permission.""The man must be frustrated, you walk around the office in your skirts, flaunting your ass and legs, and when you address him around people you call him Mr Parker, that's hot, I have no idea how he's still surviving," Aaliyah laughs."He's fine, so how's your relationship with t
-Chapter 20: Potential-A few days later, Aaliyah had gotten a lot of work done with Tia's help, but it was annoying when Tia would constantly tease her about Antonio like they were a bunch of teenagers.Antonio and Aaliyah were currently in a restaurant, waiting on the Greens to arrive."So how's life with an assistant?" Antonio asked."Easy, now I see what all the hype is about, I should have gotten one the moment I worked for Samantha, would have made my life easier." He chuckles."There was hype?" Aaliyah laughs softly, asking."How are you feeling today?""Hungry, you must be too, I'm sorry that's very ungentlemanly, what do you want to eat?""The steak and wine." He called over the waiter."Are you ready to order sir?""Yes, we'll have the usual." When the waiter left.Aaliyah spoke up."I won't be paying, because of yo
-Chapter 21: Point Of Views-"Your father is the buyer, why would he do that? He knows that you're trying to buy the company right?""Yes, he does, but since I didn't want to divorce you, that may be the reason he's trying to steal the company from under me because he knows how much I want it.""But you're not going to let that happen right?" Aaliyah asked watching as he texts, someone, he looked up meeting her eyes."Never." He dialled a number she didn't recognize. "Tony, could you get Aaliyah a dress for the charity event? Thank you." He hung up, texting someone. "Let's see if what we saw was just a coincidence or he is trying to steal my deal." Antonio started the car, driving out, Aaliyah realized he didn't want to believe his father would do this but the other part knew it was true, the other part knew what he was capable of.-It was the currently the night of the charity event, Aaliyah and Antonio were in the limo as
-Chapter 99: Fruits & Mother In Law-About four hours had passed since Antonio had left, and honestly, I was feeling extremely lonely, but I knew I had to power through until this whole scandal had blown over."How are you feeling?" Tia asked me the second I answered her call, and I unconsciously caressed my stomach."Good besides constantly throwing up my food," I confessed with a bittersweet tone."Is Antonio taking good care of you?" She inquired, and her words only reminded me of his absence and my longing to see him."He's at work, but Maria's here with me." "I'm guessing he'd doing damage control?""Yeah," I confirmed while sitting up on my bed the sound I felt the urge to vomit rising from the depths of my throat."Do you think this can be resolved?" She questioned me as I brought the bucket that was located on my table to my mouth as I moved off the bed."Hopefully, I-" I began, but was interrupted by the rejection of my food that found its way out of my stomach and through
- Chapter 98: Sadness & Grapes - Hearing those words should have brought me nothing but joy, unfortunately, the only I was feeling was fear. It was the same fear I had when I heard Brittany say that the chances of me surviving childbirth were extremely low. "Aaliyah, are you still there?" I heard Tia which pulled me from my thoughts. "Yeah, I have to go Tia. I'll talk to you later." I immediately hung up before she had the chance to respond. "Is everything alright?" Antonio asked the second I placed my phone on the counter. "Sort of." He raised a brow moving toward me. "What do you mean?" "A few days I asked Tia to do a blood test on me..." This didn't seem to make his concern lessen as his brows were now pulled together showing both his worry and confusion. "What were the results? Are you sick?" I shook my head.
- Chapter 97: Call & Tia - Aaliyah’s P.O.V I wasn’t too shocked by his announcement because I saw the pictures of her baby bump earlier, but now that he admitted it I realized he didn’t just lose Lillian, he lost his baby. “How long ago was this?” My father asked, “About 3 years.” Antonio responded softly, looking very tired from all the questions and I wasn’t surprised as I would be too if I was being hounded like this. “Y—” My sister Isabella started but I spoke, cutting her off. “No more questions for tonight.” No one made a move to object. “Alright, we’ll go home.” My mother said as she stood from the chair she sat.
- Chapter 96: Video & Pregnant - Aaliyah's P.O.V I stayed silent as the video played as I was curious about the big secret this person had about Antonio’s family. ‘The Parker family have been known for their multi million businesses, they seem normal at first until you gaze into their background and family members. Raymond Parker’s niece, Ilaria De Luca is the leader of one of the biggest American Italian mafia in the states. He and his son Antonio Parker have been seen doing deals for her with different mafia families, including The Andersons and Petrovs.’ Many pictures were shown of Antonio talking to a tall, muscular man who had dark brown eyes and black hair who stood beside a woman with brunette
- Chapter 95: Date & Truth - Aaliyah’s P.O.V I stared at Samantha waiting for her to speak up and answer my question. Tia seemed wary of her presence after the things I had told her about Samantha, she unconsciously took a step in front of me as if to protect me if anything happened. I doubted Samantha had the guts to hurt me, but I also knew her obsession with Antonio would probably drive her that length. “Answer me, what are you doing here?” I asked once again this time there was much more venom in my voice. “I’m here for charity.” She answered with a creepy smile that had the hairs on my arms standing. “I don’t believe that for a second. You weren’t invited.” Samantha nodded walking towards the sink, resting her purse
- Chapter 94: Permission & Without - Aaliyah's P.O.V “Aaliyah, don’t worry everything will be fine.” Tia reassured me, “Yes, with the little time we’ve known each other, I know you’re a fighter and you’ll get through this.” Marcus added, making me grin expressing my amusement. “You both are acting like I’m already on my deathbed.” Antonio slipped his hand in mine. “You won’t be until you’re 80.” I raised a brow at this. “I don’t think I wanna live that long, it seems tiring.” He smiled, placing a kiss on my forehead. “I can’t wait until you two have children,” Brittany stated, with a big smile that made her husband roll his eyes as he took a sip of his wine. “In other words,
- Chapter 93: Want & Die - “Aaliyah! How are you?” Antonio’s mother asked, greeting me with a side hug, “I’m great, how about you?” “I’m feeling amazing. Raymond, come greet your daughter-in-law and your son.” Her husband, who had been talking to someone, excused himself and made his way to her without protest or any sign of irritation from her order. “Aaliyah, Antonio. Thank you for the invitation.” Britany rolled her eyes, “Why are you always so formal? Try smiling a bit. Antonio, Aaliyah, excuse us.” We nodded watching as Britany and Raymond walked away while he tried to listen to her order and smile, he seemed sick whenever he did it. “I swear your mother is the only one who can speak to uncle Raymond lik
- Chapter 92: Breathe & Fine - Aaliyah's P.O.V I pulled back softly gazing into his eyes before I removed my shirt, he did the same with his. The minute we were both shirtless his eyes took in my body with a mixture of love and desire, “I’m so lucky, you are utter perfection.” He praised making me smile softly. “I love you,” I whispered bringing him into another kiss, this one was slow and steady while our hearts were beating erratically, I held his face in my hands gently as he held my ass moving me impossibly closer to him. I couldn’t help myself as I drowned in the love he provided. My mind was focused entirely on his lips, tongue, moans and groans. Everything he did made
- Chapter 91: Nicely & Blood - Aaliyah's P.O.V I watched as Tia drew my blood with a needle, I had to admit I wanted to throw up. I was a bit squeamish at the sight of blood so I looked the other way until she was finished. That didn't take too long as she spoke. "Ok done." She gently cleaned my arm before placing a bandage against the small wound. "When will I get the results?" She shrugged, slipping off her gloves. "About 2-3 days, it depends. I'll call you as soon as I get them. Don't worry." I sent her a grateful smile as I stood. "Alright, I should go ho-" I told her but I was cut off by the sound of the door opening, our eyes were immediately greeted by Marcus's.
