Luciano observed her closely, she looked so confused and thrown off by what he told her. it was hard to keep telling himself that she was aware of what happened and that she had planned it all. The mood he had been in for the last two days, the way he had gotten into his car as soon as his private investigator had given away her location. Everything he planned to tell her and how he wanted to be harsh to her changed the minute he saw her face for the first time when she unlocked the door. She looked so pale and lost a lot of weight that even if he had been the devil, he still would not have been able to lash out at her like he had wanted. He forgot almost everything that he had wanted to say to her when he saw how she looked. He got protective really quickly and had to keep reminding himself what she did. What he thought she did because now he doubted that she really did it. “It is not true,”She continued to say. Now he felt offended by the fact that the thought of having his child
Dani was going crazy; she couldn’t think straight. She quite literally just agreed to go with Luciano to the hospital where she had done the procedure. She wasn’t so sure she was ready to find out as that might mean she would have to be co-parents with Luciano. The idea of that wasn’t pleasant to think about. Just when she thought she had gotten away from him now, if everything he was saying turned out to be true, she would have to live her whole life with him around her. there was no getting away from him if it turned out that the hospital indeed gave her his semen. Luciano wasn’t someone who backed away from something that belonged to him. He would certainly not back away from his child, no, make that two children. He already said as much. “So?”He asked impatiently. “I need to talk to Keira first but I don’t have a phone. Can you lend me yours?”She requested. Keira had a habit of leaving work during the day to make sure she was okay. she didn’t want her to come home and not meet
“I am sorry but we can’t give you what you want. Don’t worry, I can answer all your questions,”“Oh, really? Then explain to me what the fuck happened and why do I suddenly have a baby daddy when I did an artificial insemination just to make sure I own my kid alone,”Dani fired at her. the doctor nodded and started explaining. The more she spoke, the angrier Dani got. “What are you even saying right now? That makes no sense, I started paying for my procedure a year ago because I had to pay an installment. Before that, we went through the kind of donor I wanted over and over again. I sat through hours of counseling and went through a series of tests. Had to report everything just for you guys to do whatever you want?”Dani questioned as she couldn’t keep listening to her talk the way she was doing. She would have wanted to speak to Dr Williams because she was the one who took her through all her process but suddenly, she couldn’t be reached. They were playing games with her. “That’s
“Why are you already acting like we are a team? What? Are we pregnant? Say who?”She questioned. “You and I are a team, you know we work better as a team, if you hadn’t dumped me a few weeks ago, we would have been together when the news broke out and I wouldn’t have ever thought you tried to scam me or something,”He responded. “Why are you making it sound like we were in a relationship? You were my horrible boss who fired me and then hired me back on probation, couldn’t even give me a damn break when I asked for it, and just when I thought I was over you completely, you show up and now I can’t even get you rid of you again,”Dani lamented. “You can’t get rid of me; I am glad you have at least accepted that. I know I am not the best person and you never asked to be in this situation but can we at least find a way to work things out? I don’t want to be an absent father,”He said, reaching for her hand, she let him take her hand and looked at him. She knew he was trying to manipulat
“Your tummy is so soft but I can’t feel anything yet,”He whispered in a really soft tone that made her heart skip a beat. She still couldn’t believe she was carrying Luciano’s children. It was a crazy twist of fate that she never expected and what was even more shocking was how Luciano was taking the whole thing. He was acting all soft and gentlemanly. This was the calmest she had seen Luciano act. Who knew all it could take for the almighty Luciano Miko to become a softy was a baby bump?“You won’t feel it yet. I read about it and I think the earliest you can feel it move will be in the thirteenth week. Most times from the sixteenth week so you have to wait a little more, I am currently at twelve weeks,”She explained to him and he nodded in understanding while still touching her stomach. She refused to acknowledge how his hand on her bare stomach was making her feel. It was the hormones, it had to be the hormones. No way her body was reacting to his touch. She needed to remind her
“How are you coping with your other secretaries? Did you take my advice or did you end up firing everyone?”She asked. She didn’t want the place to be quiet because left with her thoughts she could only think of strange things that she had no business thinking about. He looked up at her. “Now you are concerned? I practically begged you to stay with me but you said no and chased me away from your apartment. You didn’t even stop there, you blocked me everywhere, you are mean,”He let out. He was making her feel guilty with how he said it but then she reminded herself why she had decided to quit. “I would have left either way, I was sick for most of last month and I could barely do a thing, even if I had stayed working for you, I wouldn’t have been able to do it for long,”She informed him. “I am sorry you went through the first few months of pregnancy alone while I was a jerk to you,”She didn’t expect him to apologize at all. The fact that he did throw her off balance for a moment.
Luciano couldn’t stop looking at her, she was so beautiful and so soft-looking right now. She didn’t look that pale anymore. how did it even cross his mind that Danielle could do what he had accused her of? He felt like a jerk for making assumptions about her. Firstly, with how he had assumed she let some rich dude knock her off just so she could get child support from him, and then he thought she did it to get money from him when he found out it was his child she carried. Vera really ruined him with her lies. He couldn’t use that as an excuse though so instead of making excuses for himself, he made up his mind to make it up to Danielle by standing by her through it all but first, he needed to convince her that moving in with him would be the best decision. He wasn’t used to having people in his space and it would take a lot for him to adjust to having people around him but he was ready to make that sacrifice because they won’t just be anyone. They will be his family. He couldn’t rem
“I am not asking you to marry me. We can build a home for our kids without getting married. I just want us to do it together, under the same roof. I don’t want to be a part-time dad,”He told her. he hoped that he would soon be able to change her mind about marriage but for now, he was going to let her be.“You sure? I just can’t trust you,”“Why?”He asked. “I don’t know. I feel at some point I am going to regret everything. I hate regretting,”She looked worried, he didn’t know how best to assure her that she wasn’t going to regret it. “What do I do to show you that you won’t regret it?”He asked. “Nothing, I just don’t, you know, it is not that easy to just agree to move my life. I have plans, I had my whole life planned, okay not my whole life but at least the next ten years but if I decide to move in with you, I would be giving everything up and I am not sure I am ready for that,”She told him. he liked that she was being sincere. “You know what? Don’t give an answer now. Tak
“Knock, knock,” She said into the mic and heard everyone laugh, even Luciano.“Luci, you are everything I ever dreamed of. Even though you were a pain in the ass at the beginning. You turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened to me. I won’t trade our time together for anything in the world.” She paused for breath and continued.“You are my reason Luciano and I am glad that I am yours too. I promise to love you and stand by you for the rest of our lives and if I am allowed to, I will still choose you again in the next life,”Dani’s voice broke at the end. Luciano’s reassuring smile was all she needed to gain her posture again.“A pain in the ass? Really?” Luciano whispered. Dani smiled and so did he before he took the mic from her. He reached for her face and touched her cheeks softly. Just a small touch from him was enough for her to feel all kinds of emotions. She truly loved this man beyond love and it made her heart full knowing that he loved her just as much as she
“Did they? I didn’t expect them to show up,” Dani said. she smiled. No way would she let her adoptive parents ruin her day.“Yes, they did and your mom wants to see you. I told them I would let you know first. I didn’t want to bring them here without first informing you,” Keira said. Dani didn’t really have anything against them. if she did, she would not have invited them to her wedding. She nodded in approval.“You can let them in, K, I don’t really have anything against them.” She responded. Keira nodded and left to get her parents. Dani looked at herself once again. She looked really pregnant at six months pregnant. She was extra big and the doctor said it was because she was going to have two big healthy babies. They still haven’t checked the sex of the little ones because they both wanted the surprise at birth.The stylists excused themselves and left her alone in the waiting room where she was meant to receive some guests before she would be transported to the chapel which w
“Why are you calling me so early in the morning didn’t you sle---- oh my god!!! Is that a ring?” Keira yelled out excitedly when she saw the reason Dani was calling her so early in the morning. Dani laughed when she yelled and jumped out of sight in excitement. Dani already knew this would be her reaction and she didn’t disappoint.“Yes, it’s a ring! You were right! A wedding in my future. We have a wedding to plan bestie,” Dani said in equal excitement. She still couldn’t believe everything was real and that she would soon be called Mrs. Miko. She woke up last night, sat up and just watched him sleep. She marveled at how lucky she was. Luciano keeps saying he’s the lucky one but Dani knew she was the lucky one. “See!!! I fucking told you! Now I wish I had bet on it, oh my god! Congratulations baby, you deserve all the love. I am so happy for you,” Keira let out when she came back in sight. Dani smiled happily. Luciano was currently fixing breakfast for her. He told her to stay i
“Danielle,” He called out her name. She smiled through the tears. She knew it was serious business when he called her Danielle instead of Baby or Cherry. “Yes, baby,” She answered. “I am sorry I made you cry,”Dani shook her head. She could have cried either way, it was something that she never imagined would happen to her until she got together with Luciano. She gave up on ever getting married about two years ago only for Luciano to renew her dream that she had given up and now he was on his knees in front of her. about to ask her to marry him.“I love you, Danielle. So much. I can’t imagine a life where you aren’t there. You came into my life and became my reason. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you and knowing the feeling of being loved by you. I want us to have the big family that we never had growing up. I want you to be my family, my love, my reason forever,” He paused. Danielle smiled encouragingly.“I promise to be your reason too. to be your love and your hom
“I think I will turn in early today, I am so tired,” Dani told Luciano as they sat in each other’s arms in the living room. she felt tired and sad after what she found out today. Even though she told herself more times than she could count that there was no reason for her to be sad, she just couldn’t help.“Fuck, I wanted us to hang out in the flower field tonight and watch the stars together. But if you want to sleep early, I am fine with it.” Luciano responded. Dani could feel the disappointment in his voice. Luciano has been a thoughtful and considerate man. For him to be disappointed means he really wanted them to see the stars tonight. They have sat together before in the flower field and watched the stars. It was a fun time and she didn’t want him.“Cancelled. If you want us to watch the stars tonight then that’s what we will do.” Dani said, doing everything to bring out the cheery fun side of hers as she said the words. She couldn’t let her not-so-parents ruin what she had w
Luciano was so fucking nervous that he had almost missed Danielle being noticeably quiet after he picked her up from her best friend’s beauty house. He was glad he noticed because he didn’t want her in a bad mood when they got back home. He spent the last five hours preparing a surprise and the last thing he wanted was for it to be ruined.“Hey, baby, are you okay?” He asked. He knew what happened with her adoptive parents so finding out they were back in town after leaving her behind years ago must have been shocking for her. “I guess. They don’t mean anything to me anymore. I am an adult now and don’t need to keep calling them my parents. They stopped being my parents a long time ago,” He slowed down the car, came to a stop at a corner of the road, and turned his attention to her. He reached for her hands and she let him. “Hey,” She shook her head and sniffed.“I mean, I shouldn’t care that they are in town and still they don’t call or try to reach out for me,” She cried. He r
“Don’t worry K, you will be the first to know if he ever asks me to marry him. right now, I am just happy with the way things are. I didn’t know that I could be this happy with someone but I am really happy. I wake up each new day with a smile on my face.” Dani beamed.“I can see that. I am really happy that you are happy.” Keira responded warmly.“I think I used up all my good luck with Luci. I mean, why else would he love me so much? It had to be all the luck I saved up.” Keira laughed.“I am sure you still have some good luck in you. Seeing you so beautiful, healthy, in love, and pregnant feels like a lucid dream but I know it isn’t a dream,” Keira said.“Yeah,” “You do know your parents are back in town, right? I didn’t want to ask you over the phone,” Keira revealed. Danielle stared at her with her mouth open.“What?” She asked. “Sorry, you wouldn’t know since you haven’t left your husband’s house for over a week now. Yes, my mom called and said she saw your mom at the t
“I thought you guys decided not to show your face ever again. I haven’t seen or heard from you in a week,”Keira complained as she walked up to her and pulled her into a tight hug. Dani laughed. Keira was being dramatic because Dani called her twice since the week she and Luciano had spent locked up in the mansion and their room. Yes, since they returned from the orphanage, they spent the week that followed locked up in their room. They played, made love, and told each other things that they didn’t know about each other. talked about their future and a whole lot of other things. It was a time that Dani would remember for the rest of her life. Loving Luciano and being loved by him was the best thing that happened to her. spending time with him and getting to know the loving man who was once her strict boss turned out to be the best moments of her life. He showed her just what being in love and being loved by the person you loved looked like. wiped away her former experiences and mad
Dani watched the man of her dreams sleep. She smiled when she remembered just how she had kept him awake for most of the night. It wasn’t her fault, she missed him so much and couldn’t get enough of him. Even right now, she wanted him again.“Damn hormones,”She whispered as her fingers caressed his face. She didn’t want to wake him up but the urge to touch him was so strong and she couldn’t resist. She traced her finger around his face, his nose, his lips, his eyelids. She leaned down and planted a soft kiss on his lips. “I love you,”She whispered. Finally, she could say those words to him. words that she has been dying to say to him for weeks. Falling in love with Luci was the best decision she had ever made. Okay, getting pregnant was the best too but falling for Luciano definitely topped the list. She felt her tummy rumble. Aside from being extra horny, she was always hungry too. She tried to get out of bed to find something to eat but Luciano grabbed her before she could leave
