CHAPTER 16VALERIE'S POVI woke up in a good mood this morning. Probably due to the fact that Stephano went out on a business trip last night, He would be gone for a whole week!Luckily he gave me the permission to hang out with Gabe. After much convincing done by me of course. I bet he only let me go since Gabe was gay. He told me any other men were off limits, I don't have any other male friends anyways.I took my time in getting ready since I wasn't in a hurry anyways, I was going to spend the entire day with Gabe. I didn't want to have to deal with Bianca just yet. I wasn't in the mood for that.When I came downstairs, breakfast was already prepared. Pancakes and scrambled eggs. Gosh! I was loving the lavish perks living with Stephano offered. "Where is Bianca?" I asked Pat, hoping that bitch wasn't joining me for breakfast."Oh she already had her meal hours ago" Pat replied.I guess there was an advantage in waking up really late, Bianca was probably an early bed so no wonder s
CHAPTER 17VALERIE'S POV"Who's that guy?" I asked, already getting impatient because of his silence."Just someone I know," he replied, avoiding eye contact.I glared at him with so much intensity, like I had plans of murdering him.."Okay ok, I will explain. '' He said, smiling lightly."Good, go on," I replied eagerly."The guy you saw earlier is Sam, my ex. He was my first ever boyfriend when I realized I was gay. During the first few weeks of our relationship, it was so perfect it felt like a dream. Well that was until it all came crashing down on our third month together. Sam became too obsessive and abusive. He didn't want me out of his sight and followed me every time during the few times I went out of the apartment we shared, we were roommates. I was just a confused college freashmen then, excited and curious about everything. Sam was in his third year at that time" Gabe said."Oh my God- that must have been really tough on you, I can already imagine how bad it must have been
CHAPTER 18VALERIE'S POV"I'm going to go anyway!" I say smirking.I know this was a bad decision, but I mean how bad could the consequences possibly be? All I wanted was to grasp this opportunity to party hard while Stephano was away."Yesss!" Gabe cheered."We don't have to go until night time so what do we do now?" I asked."Hmm… go shopping for your outfit? I already have mine" Gabe replied."I don't need to go shopping now also, Stephano had my closet filled completely with luxury branded clothes. Trust me when I say they are gorgeous as fuck!" I say giggling."Woah! you're one lucky bitch" Gabe said in awe."Nah, I wouldn't describe myself that way" I replied, chuckling a bit."Whatever. I would love to see your new home, do you think Stephano would be ok with me coming over?" he asked, an unsure look on his face."Maybe not, he knows about you so I guess that's fine" I replied."Great! let's go there now" he chirped."Ugh! and I already told my driver I wasn't going back anytim
CHAPTER 19"Are you going to drive?" I asked Derin as we stepped out of the mansion."Nah, I will go with you guys. I plan to drink tonight so I won't be driving" Derin replied.I took the passenger seat, leaving Derin and Gabe in the back seat. The drive was in complete silence, except from the never ending flirting between Derin and Gabe. It was mostly Derin teasing Gabe and him being all shy.They are cute.After we arrived, we entered the already crowded club, filled with dancing bodies and just a few sitting while sipping wine. It had the smell of booze and sweat. It wasn't suffocating though."Do you want to dance?" Derin shouted over the loud music."Yeah sure," Gabe shouted back."You guys go ahead, I'm going to have some drinks first" I replied, not wanting to be a third wheel next to them.I walked over to the bar corner and took the empty stool next to a young lady. I ordered liquor and took a small sip from my glass, exhaling deeply afterwards."Hi!" the girl beside me chi
CHAPTER 20VALERIE'S POVI paced up and down in my bedroom, I was beyond nervous and frustrated. Stephano would be returning in a few minutes. The one week he's been gone for passed away like a blur. Now he will be back soon, by soon I mean few minutes from now and I haven't heard a word from him ever since he left, that scares me even more. His silence feels more dangerous. Especially after what happened.This was partly Bianca's fault, I know she has something to do with this. She had this never ending victorious smirk on her face anytime she sees me. But I can't completely blame her since I did what I did on my own accord. She only somehow pushed me to do it and made sure Stephano could find out.*●♡●*FLASH BACK"Valerie, WAKE UP!!" Gabe's voice screamed inside my ears, making me snap my eyes open immediately."What the hell? what happened?" I groan, glaring at Gabe. I was really tired because of last night's clubbing event. "Look!" He replied, turning his phone screen towards my
CHAPTER 21"Now, let's discuss your punishment" he stated, now very serious. His hands abandoning my pussy.What??I thought this was over.Stephano noticed the shock on my face and laughed out loud at that."Did you really think I will go easy on you after doing something as reckless as that? putting my reputation on the line. How do you expect me to punish you in a way you enjoy and crave also" he said, already making a distance between us but still maintaining eye contact."You are not going to kill me, right?" I asked nervously, I was really scared now."Nah, I'm not going to cause any physical harm to you so you don't have to be afraid. But you are going to do something that would piss you off to the core, and maybe diminish your reputation just a bit" He replied."Just tell me already!" I shouted, already getting annoyed."You might want to watch your tune kitten, I could just make this worse for you" he warned."Now for what your punishment would be..." he started, making me ver
CHAPTER 22Stephano raised his head to look at me again, his eyes held lust as he softly caressed my cheeks. He leans down to kiss me again.*RING RING*Just as his lips was about to touch mine, the sound of a phone ringing interrupts us, Stephano's phone. Stephano groans, ignoring the phone call waiting for it stop but it didn't. He's phone rang again making him sigh then get up to answer the call.I sit up on the bed, still very much flustered. I silently watched Stephano as he spoke on the phone."What is the problem Fred?" Stephano said in annoyance immediately he answered the call.Oh I remember the name Fred, it sounds really familiar. I thought for a bit then I finally remembered, that's Stephano right hand man. The one I met the first day I arrived at this mansion."What??" Stephano said after a moment of silence, his countenance became more serious."How is it possible that one of my men stole my new shipment?!" he said angrily.Stephano looked really angry as he listened to
CHAPTER 23PAT POVI stepped out of the kitchen, carrying some dessert in my hands bringing them to Valerie. I'm shocked by the scene I see in front of me. How did all this happen and I heard nothing, the other maids weren't aware also.Valerie and Bianca were currently laying on the cold tiles, both unconscious. What the hell happened?? There were also stains of blood on the floor. Then I noticed a pool of blood surrounding Bianca. Holy fuck! the baby!!!!I carefully dropped the tray containing the desert then rushed down the hall, heading to the maid quarters to get my phone. I never have the time to use my phone during work hours so I don't bother carrying it, I just leave it inside my room.After getting my hands on my phone, I quickly dial the Mafia's personal doctor contact."Good afternoon Doc, there is a serious problem. The Don's wife is unconscious, Bianca also, they are both slightly injured also" I rushed out, by now everyone already knew Bianca was currently carrying the

It was something that Fiona really looked forward to every day. She loved spending time with her husband and her kid. So no matter what, they always came together for that. The sitting room was adorned with decoration but that brightest decorations of all was the magnificent Christmas tree that stood proud and tall at the middle of the room.The star at the tip added to the brightness and the gift beneath added to the atmosphere of festivity.Laughter echoed at the dinning room.

Even the food she hated as a norm was now her favorite.At night, he had to buy snacks Incase she would begin craving unnecessarily. Sadly, most of the snacks he had gathered, she always rejected.However, she was getting incredibly sensitive."I'm hungryyyy I want pasta!" Fiona cried out from the bedroom.Aiden was in the kitchen which was a complete mess, cooking pasta that she had been crying about for two hours now.She had requested for a sa
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. They were all holding guns and pointing it at her.Fiona sighed. She thought that all her problems was over but of course she was wrong."What?" She asked angrily."What an attitude." One of them chuckled and she felt someone grab her from behind.She screamed, kicked straight in the groin and turned to look at him as he fell to the ground."Moron! Can't you see that I am a pregnant woman?!" She screamed furiously and snatched the gun away from him, shooting him straight in the head then turned to the othe
AUTHORwhat he had always wanted was the happiness of his daughter and he can't be any more thankful for this. 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. And for goodness sake, even if you grow old and become ugly, I won't leave you. I am not with you because ot my looks. I am with you because I love you. The
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. "You're impossible Aiden! I can't believe that you
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
