VALERIE'S POV"You should have known better than to do that, come with me Kitten" he ordered, his voice low and dangerous.I followed quietly behind him not wanting to cause a scene, I knew I had pissed him off at this point. But I honestly didn't feel sorry, I was still mad at him and wanted to confront him too.As we walked away from the carnival, Stephano's grip on my hand tightened. I could feel the anger radiating off of him. I knew I had pushed him too far, but I couldn't help it. I was still hurt by the fact that he was basically flirting with his ex-girlfriend at the carnival. We walked in silence for a few minutes before Stephano finally spoke after we entered our suite. "What were you thinking, Valerie? Dancing with that guy like that in front of me?" he asked, his voice laced with anger. "I was just having fun, Stephano. I didn't think it would bother you that much," I replied, trying to keep my voice calm. "Of course it would bother me. You were practically grinding on
VALERIE'S POVI woke to see Stephano, was no longer in bed. It was day two of our vacation so I decided to go get ready to see what Stephano had planned for us today.I got out of bed and walked towards the balcony of our room. The view was breathtaking, the sun was shining bright, and the crystal-clear water of the ocean was mesmerizing. I took a deep breath and smiled, feeling grateful for this moment.As I was about to head to the bathroom, I heard a knock on the door. I walked towards it and opened it to see Stephano standing there with a tray of breakfast."Good morning, Val," he said, smiling at me. "I have a surprise for you today.""What is it?" I asked, curiously."I can't tell you yet. Finish your breakfast, get ready, and meet me at the dock in an hour," he said, handing me the tray.I nodded, excited about the surprise. Stephano always knew how to make our vacations special.After breakfast, I got ready quickly and headed towards the dock. As I approached, I saw a small bo
VALERIE'S POVIt was already a bit late by the time I returned back. When I entered Stephano's suite, I was surprised to see Stephano laying on the bed already done with his work."You have been out for quite a while… what did you do?" he asked curiously.I could tell it wasn't because he was jealous and thinking I was with a guy all this while, he just looked innocently curious although innocent and Stephano doesn't fit well put together in one sentence."I met with Kate," I replied."Oh wow, that's surprising," he said.One moment I'm on Kate's neck and the next I'm bonding with her, that's definitely surprising."Yeah…" I muttered, a small smile on my face."Anyways, we have a charity ball to attend tomorrow. A lot of my business partners would be here so I expect you to live up to your status as the mafia Don's wife" he said, his countenance now serious."I thought it's just a business charity event, they are all involved in the gang too?" I asked, really confused."Val, being a M
VALERIE'S POVAs we arrived at the charity ball, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. The grand ballroom was filled with people dressed in their finest attire, all of them exuding an air of power and wealth. Stephano took my hand and led me to our table, where his business partners were already seated. They all greeted us with nods and smiles, and I tried my best to be polite and charming. Stephano was right by my side, handling all the business matters effortlessly while still making sure I was comfortable and enjoying myself. The food was delicious, the music was lively, and I even managed to strike up a few conversations with some of the other guests. It was a surreal experience, being in a room filled with people who were all involved in criminal activities, but I couldn't deny that I was having a good time.As the night wore on, I noticed that Stephano was getting increasingly tense. He was constantly checking his phone and whispering to his business partners , and I could tel
CHAPTER 100!♡VALERIE'S POVHe was gentle and loving, his movements slow and deliberate. I felt safe and protected in his arms, even as the dangers of his world lurked in the back of my mind. But for this moment, I didn't want to think about anything else. I wanted to forget about the outside world and just focus on the bond that Stephano and I shared. I felt a sense of peace wash over me as he kissed me gently, but I wanted more. I needed him. I grabbed his hands and placed it in between my thighs, giving him an hint. He smirked seductively knowing exactly what I wanted.He slowly teased me, his fingers tracing circles on my inner thighs, sending shivers of pleasure through my body. I moaned softly, my body craving his touch. He leaned in and whispered in my ear, his hot breath sending chills down my spine. "You're so beautiful," he murmured. "I crave you so fucking much." His words made my heart swell with desire. I pulled him closer, my body pressing against his, as he continued
VALERIE'S POVInside was a beautiful necklace, with a delicate chain and a small pendant in the shape of a heart. The pendant was made of diamonds, and it sparkled in the light."Oh my god, Stephano, it's beautiful," I said, tears welling up in my eyes. He took the necklace from the box and fastened it around my neck. The pendant rested perfectly against my chest, and I couldn't help but admire it in the mirror."Thank you so much," I said, turning to face him. "It's perfect.""I'm glad you like it," he replied, pulling me into a tight embrace. "I just wanted to show you how much you mean to me."I felt my heart swell with love for him. He was always making me feel incredibly special. We spent the morning packing our bags and getting ready to leave. As we walked out of the hotel room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.

VALERIE'S POV"Let me make love to you baby girl, not fucking but a passionate body worshiping you deserve"I felt my heart race at his words. I knew that my body was changing, and I wasn't sure if I felt comfortable with it. But Stephano had always made me feel beautiful and desired, and I trusted him completely. I nodded my head, unable to form words. Stephano stood up and led me to our bedroom. He slowly undressed me, his hands trailing over my curves and making me shiver with anticipation. He kissed every inch of my skin, worshiping my body with his lips and tongue. I felt a sense of vulnerability, but also a sense of empowerment. Stephano made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, and I couldn't help but surrender to his touch. As we made love, I felt a sense of connection and love that I had never experienced before. Stephano was not just my lover, he was my partner, my soulmate, and the father of our child.

I heard a voice scream back.Suddenly my vision is blurry until it becomes entirely black."Valerie!" the voice shouted again, but more worried and impatient this time around.I tried my best to force my eyes open to get a clear vision of my surroundings. Bright lights make me wince a bit but I quickly adjust my eyes to the lighting here. When I looked around I noticed I was no longer in a hospital room and still in the comfort of my bed sweating profusely. I felt shaken, it wasn't real… the pregnancy complications and the bleeding had all been just a dream. Stephano sat down beside me on the bed staring at me worriedly, he quickly pulled me into his tight bear hug ignoring my distorted state."It's just a nightmare Val, don't worry you're safe right here with me" Stephano whispered comfortingly.I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. It was just a dream, but it felt so real. I wrapped my arms around Stephano

Author povStanding outside the bar, to a corner with lights but devoid of people, Fiona had her eyes closed as she breathed slowly. She felt tired and dizzy and was incredibly craving for alcohol which she couldn't drink. She had to hold on for a few more months.She placed her hand on her stomach, smiling slowly. "Soon." She told herself."Well, well, well." An irritating gruff voice erupted behind her and her eyes snapped open.She turned to the direction to see up to twenty men.

Immediately after the marriage, Fiona and her friends decided that they wanted to go hang out at a bar. Fiona's father wanted to stop them but he thought that thet knew what they were doing and that he should not get involved. He also told himself that he should stop trying to get involved in his daughter's life and stop trying to tell her what to do and what not to do. It just didn't sound okay for him to do that to her..He and his wife went back home after the wedding. Fiona's mother could not hike back her tears. She immediately started crying when they got home. "Why are you crying? Aren't you the one who always said tgat I was being too hard on her and Aiden?" He asked his wife. "Of course you were being too hard on them before this! It's just.....my daughter is finally married and I can't help but feel sad about it. I feel as if it was only a day ago when I held her
AUTHORDo you really think so little of me Fiona?" Aiden asked Fiona. He knows that she was saying all of this because of the pregnancy hormones and that she doesn't really mean it but he was hurt that she'd ever consider that he'd leave because she lost her shape after giving birth to her child. "I don't think that way of you at all. I know that you love me but people change right? What if I go out of shape and you decide that I am no longer what you want?! I think that I am going to lose my mind for real if you leave me....I can't handle that for the life of me" she told AidenAiden took her hand in his "I am just going to tell you this once Fiona so listen. You're pregnant with my child. You're putting your life on the hold to have my child. I am never going to leave you just because you lost your shape after having my child.

FIONA'S POV"You know that I am not doing anything and that they are actually right. I don't want that at all. I want to do something to earn my keep. I know that I am pregnant but that doesn't mean that I am handicapped. I can still do something " I said. I don't like the way Aiden keeps treating me like I can't do anything for myself. I think that I am going to lose my mind if he keeps treating me like this for the duration of my pregnancy. I'd definitely lose my mind if this continues itself. "Who said that you're not doing anything by being here with me? Seeing your face everyday motivates me to work harder. And once I am motivated to work harder, it means that I can earn a lot of money for the company and those people talking will get paid on time. So you see, you being here is actually helping everyone. Do you see how much you're helping me out now?" Aiden asked me. I could not help but burst into laugher when I heard this.

AIDEN'S POVI entered my office after I was done with the meeting. I sighed. All of the people who are working for me are really stressing me out. They are supposed to do thier jobs but there's nothing that anyone of them can do right. They keep making mistakes on top of mistakes. They are all starting to get on my nerves. .I took off my tie as soon as I entered my office and lossened the first buttons of my shirt. I saw Fiona sleeping on the couch. I frowned. Isn't she uncomfortable?!I have told her many times that she doesn't need to come here for me and that she can just go back home and rest once the pregnancy gets too much for her and she wants to sleep. Why doesn't she ever listen at all ? "What are you doing here Fiona?" I asked as I tried to position her on the bed without waking her up as quietly as I could.I took a blanket and tried to cover her with it but she woke up anyway. "What are you doing here Fiona? Didn't I tell you that you can go back and sleep whenever y
Author's POVFew weeks later. Fiona groaned loudly as she entered into the fitting room for yet another time. This was the fifth....sixth? Honestly she's lost count of how many it was. Her mom and Eric's wife Esther were there with her. She went out to show her critiques who sat regally on the chair sipping lemonade. She eyed them dubiously and mouth "really??" With an arched eyebrow. They were only sitting there, enjoying a glass of lemonade and scrolling through the magazine while Fiona was made to endure the prickling and prodding of the stylist. "What do you think??" She asked without much enthusiasm. She felt beautiful but she wanted to hear from them. She gasped, stood up and walked towards her with beaming smiles on their faces."Oh my! You look adoring." Esther squealed into her hand and giggled excitedly. Fiona rolled my eyes as her mum and Esther passed a secret look at themselves. It was secretive if they were passing those looks in front of her. She almost facepalm
Author's POV"I suggest you avoid doing anything that could bring back those painful memories." He said to him quietly.Aidan nodded diligently, his eyes filled with a brimming happiness that seemed highly contagious. "She has been greatly traumatized and her brain is still having problem accepting the reality. Care and rest is all she needs right now. And do ensure that she eats a lot of food and makes she doesn't get upset" Rodriguez added calmly. Aidan had rushed out to call the doctor when the initial shock had wear off him. And thank goodness he did. "I congratulate you once again Mr Aiden." He bowed stiffly, before moving out. Since the doctor didn't want Fiona to listen in on his diagnostic, they were conversing in the corridor.The thought of Fiona going through the hardship of accepting the harsh reality was already hitting Aiden.... hard. A trickle pain of hers turned to an ocean of his own. If he could take her pain as his own, he would. Without thinking twice!He str
