Chapter 8: Planes
-
Aaliyah and Antonio stepped out of the car paparazzi outside taking pictures and throwing the question at them.
"Why would you marry your assistant?"
"How long have you both been married?"
"Weren't you seen kissing Melissa Avaire a few days ago?" And the question went on, the security guards made way for them as soon as they stepped inside the company, all eyes were on them.
"Well, this is awkward." She whispered as they walked towards the elevator. He smiles softly. "I should have thought about the office before I signed the contract, the gossip that Helena will start."
"Helena?" He questioned as the elevator moved up.
"Nevermind, we have a meeting in a few minutes, I'll set up the conference room." She told him as the elevator doors opened revealing more eyes.
"You want some help?" She shook her head.
"I'll manage." He nods, taking her bag. "I'll put this in your office." She thanks him, they went their separate ways. Not even a minute later, Helena and a few other people began walking beside her.
"So when did your affair with the boss start?"
"Is this a workplace or high school?" Aaliyah asked, walking faster.
"Who is Melissa?" Aaliyah didn't answer as she entered the conference room.
"I have work to do as do you, bye now." She closed the doors in there face and began setting up the conference room.
-
A few hours later, everything was going smoothly, no one asked Aaliyah any more questions. A knock her door, made her look up, it was Antonio with food in his hands.
"Damn, I love you." He laughs giving her the food, she quickly took it out the bag, loving the smell, she could wait for the taste.
"So how was work?" She shrugs.
"Normal."
"Your mother called, she was happy to give me an earful." Aaliyah laughs.
"I'm sorry, what did she say?"
"You know the usual, I will kill you if you hurt her Et cetera." This made her laugh harder. "It's not funny, my life is at risk here." He told her but she kept laughing.
"She is harmless, and wants to visit me, well my whole family wants to visit me."
"When?" He asked.
"Probably next year, so don't worry you won't meet my mother." She told him since the contract will end by then.
"I could fly them in." She looked at him like he was mad.
"You're bringing half of Colombia and Jamaica with you." He smiles, Aaliyah was half Jamaican half Colombian.
"I don't mind, I could let them stay in my mansion over in the east, and I'll invite them to dinner at my parent's home next week." Aaliyah was shocked, why was he putting in some much effort to meet her family when her mother threatened him and plus they will be going their separate ways in a year.
"Ok, I don't owe you anything do I?" He shook his head, getting up.
"I have to go, I'll see you in a bit, you can tell your family the news, I'll send up the private plane to get them in a few days."
"You're going to need at least 2." He froze as she said.
"How many people are in your family?"
"34 on my mother's side 16 on my father's side and most of them don't get along, so each on one plane."
"Already emptying my bank account." He joked, she smiled.
"I'll pay you."
"No need, I'll see you later." She nods, as he walked out, she began eating her food.
-
Aaliyah was currently texting Tia telling her she would be home late.
AALIYAH
I'll be home tomorrow
TIA
Office sex?
Aaliyah laughs.
AALIYAH
You wish
TIA
No, you wish
AALIYAH
Goodbye
Aaliyah dialled her mother's number, after the second ring she picked up. "Hello?" It was currently 1:00 am, Aaliyah knew her mother would still be at work at this time.
"Mamá, you're coming here in a few days, I'll text you when."
"Aali we told you we can't afford that."
"But I can, I text you the details, later, I have to get back to work."
"Alright." Aaliyah hung up, getting up she walked to Antonio's office, knocking on his door.
"Come in." And she did, he typing on his computer.
"Do you have an idea of when you'll be able to bring my parents here?" He nods eyes meeting hers.
"Anytime you decide, but I do recommend tomorrow a storm is coming near Colombia." She nods, taking a seat.
"Alright, I'll text my mother right now, what time?"
"As I said before you decide." She nods, texting her mother.
AALIYAH
The plane will be there tomorrow what time will everyone be ready?
MADRE
9:00 pm
AALIYAH
Alright make sure everyone is ready by then
-
Aaliyah looked up as she heard, a clink. Antonio had two glasses in his hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
"Want some?" She nods, poured some in the glass giving her, she thanked him, drinking some of the whiskey as he sat on the desk in front of her.
"No problem, so is there anything I need to know about your mother?" She smiles.
"Besides the fact that she's a psychopath?" He chuckles nodding.
"Yes besides that."
"Very protective and loud, but's she's sweet when you're not annoying her." She told him as she drank her whiskey, his gaze on her.
"Is there anything I need to know about you?" She shrugs.
"Depends." He smiles.
"On?" She shrugs once again.
"I don't know just always wanted to say that." He laughs softly.
"You're weird." She smiles.
"The best one's are." His smile got brighter, his hand brushing against hers.
"Cocky much."
"You're one to talk." He chuckles just as someone knocked on the door.
"I'll get it." She told him, getting up, going towards the door, she opened it revealing a woman a foot below her high, her skin a little darker than hers, her hair was out in an afro, something Aaliyah wished her hair could do, but sadly she got her mother's hair and her father light brown skin, the woman had light green eyes, it was creepy, it felt like she was staring through her soul.
"You must be my son's wife." Aaliyah nods, realizing she was talking to Antonio's mother.

End of Chapter 8: Plans
Chapter 9: Drunk-Aaliyah was stunned, but she quickly covered as she placed a smile on her lips. "Hello, I'm Aaliyah, it's nice to meet you." His mother nods."I'm Britany Parker, how much do I have to pay you to stay away from my son?" Aaliyah quickly realized she was joking as a smiled was on her face."How much are you offering?" Britany laughs, walking into the office. "Antonio I like her." He gave his mother a small hug."I do too." Aaliyah closed the door taking a seat. "So why are you here, mother?""Well you're father is being a pain in my ass and not the way I like it." Aaliyah and Antonio quickly caught on about what she was saying."Too much information mom." His mother nods."Sorry, he wants you both to get a divorce because of you know who," Aaliyah listened to her as if Britany wasn't talking about her, when she felt Antonio gaze on her she snapped out of her daze."I will not divorce him, I love Antonio,
Chapter 10: Emotions-Aaliyah woke up tired and with a headache, she didn't feel good either as she rushed to the bathroom, emptying her stomach, she groaned, she brushed her teeth then took a shower, before checking the cabinets for aspirin, but there was no, she was also on her period so with a sigh, she got ready for work.Aaliyah only had one pad, so she would have to go out for more, she didn't feel any pain on her period.When she went downstairs, Antonio was already in the kitchen, along with Tia "Look who woke up." Her head was killing her."You let me get drunk last night." She states."No, you got drunk all by yourself.""Did I say anything? you weird?""You said that I'm unreasonable hot." She laughs instead of being embarrassed, she soon regretted it as her head felt like it was about to explode. "You asked if we had sex, you thought we were in church and you called your spider woman and you asked which hair produc
Chapter 11: Family-Aaliyah and Antonio were at the airport waiting on Aaliyah's family they were supposed to be here soon, Aaliyah was feeling a bit uncomfortable after the moment she and Antonio shared, was it even a moment or was she just overreacting.Aaliyah looked over at him, he seemed fine, not affected whatsoever, she sighs maybe she was just overreacting. He looked up from his phone meeting her eyes, she quickly looked away."Are you ok?" He asked, she nods playing with her fingers, she did this anytime she got nervous or uncomfortable. "Do you want some water?" She nods, desperately wanting him to leave but not wanting him go."Tony get her some water." Tony was his bodyguard, driver and his second assistant. Aaliyah sighs softly, making Antonio look at her once again, he was confused and frustrated as he had no clue what was wrong with her, had he done something?"Liyah." She hummed, too deep in her thoughts. He placed his hand
-Chapter 12: Jealousy-After many stories, Aaliyah had finally had enough of her embarrassment. "Antonio and I are going home." Everyone frowned."We'll be back tomorrow if my boss gives me a day off." She turned to Antonio smiling. "Please?" He sighs, nodding."Fine, but you'll have to come in an extra day on the weekend.""Deal, thank you.""Wait, he's your boss?" Her father asked her she nods."Wow," James commented."I'll explain later, I'm tired, come on Tonio." He raised his eyebrow at the nickname. "Good night.""Before we leave, Tony is going to need your fingerprints so you can exit and enter the house whenever you please." Tony opened his table, everyone placed their fingerprint on the tablet."Good night everyone, I'll see you in a few days.""Why not tomorrow?" Mariana asked Aaliyah rolled her eyes at her sister's question as she heard the flirty tone but only Antonio saw."I hav
-Chapter 13: Kisses-Aaliyah couldn't sleep after Antonio had gotten up, she picked up her phone texting Tia.AALIYAHHow's life without me?TIAA lot of fun, I get to do anything and you'll never knowAALIYAHDo whatever you want as long as it's not on my bedTIAFine, gtg, I have a quizAaliyah 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 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.
