Alesso.I grunted as I felt the pounding headache in my head making me push my head deeper into the pillow to stop the agony.Why the fuck did I have to drink so much?I heard a small groan near my ear and a hand pushing my head away from the warmth.Suddenly the bed dipped and the pillow went awaynfrom me making me flick my eyesopen. Adjusting to the sunlight, I see Maria sprinting towards the bathroom making me furrow my brows. I looked beside me to see I was sleeping on her side of the bed and my head was notresting on the pillows.I guess the pillows were her boobs.My head snapped to the bathroom when I heard Maria vomiting making me get out of the bed in a hurry but only to see white dots in my vision due to the sudden movement.I am going to kill Matteo for allowingme to bring this much.She started walking towards me whileraising her voice a bit. Leave it be, Maria."Ignore it, Maria." My chest was heaving as I tried to steady my breathing"What do you mean ignore it!? I
Maria.I am still trying to absorb what Alesso had said last night. He showed me around the west wing of the mansion this afternoon but my mind was in adifferent place.Did he mean what he said to me or was it just drunk talk?It's only been four months since our marriage but you never know. To be fair, I have feelings for him and would like to tell him that I love him but I am scared to confess, I mean who isn't?Scared to be taking it too fast or being rejected.My mind is swirling with these thoughts as we walked through the corridors.Alesso didn't hold back at this. He is showing me the storage room for their illegal stuff like drugs, guns, money, you know the usual stuff. I was not allowed to enter in and so we werelooking through a glass window."So, all this life sentence worth shithas been here all this time?" I look athim wide-eyed. We can practically be arrested for life by the number of drugs here are."Well not always. They do get transported here and there." He ga
Trigger warning: miscarriageAlesso"I. Am. Not. Suffering." I said through gritted teeth trying not to raise my voice at her.She was not letting the topic go and it was all my fault, I shouldn't have had a slip of tongue. Fuck Alesso, why would you say that, what was I even thinking?"You are hiding something, Alesso I want to help you but this won't work if you won't open up a bit." Fuck, fuck, fuck she needs to stop talking."I don't want to talk about it, Maria," I could feel my heartbeat go rapidly against my chest and my muscles becoming tight. Knowing what can happen I walk away from her near the treadmill section while toning out of the conversion and trying to keep calm breathing."Why, why don't you want to tell me?" She started walking towards me while raising her voice a bit.Leave it be, Maria."Ignore it, Maria." My chest was heaving as I tried to steady my breathing."What do you mean ignore it!? I have been ignoring all the red flags all my life and here you are tel
MariaI had twins?"When Mr Romano brought youin the hospital we pumped you with drugs trying to stop the bleeding but by the looks of it, it seemed as if the fetus was trying to save yours' and the other twin's life by letting go," she explained making me just look at her dumbfoundedly."What?" It was barelya whisper but the doctor nodded to it."It is true. It happens in some cases when such things happen. By the records given by your husband you were in an accident last month?" She asked me making me nod in reply. "Then you went in a coma for almost four weeks," she confirmed as I nodded. "It is weird, the doctor who was treating you that time didn't figure it out that you were already pregnant and due to that you were given medication which was not suitable during pregnancy." She looked at me with a sad smile and then at Alesso."So you are saying that we lost one of our babies because of the doctor?" Alesso said as she gave her a slight nod. Oh, I know that look. rest in peace
Alesso.Everyone was here and embraced Maria into a hug as she put up a fake smile. I on the other hand just stood there with an emotionless face and shoved my hands in my pockets. Personally, I don't like it when all the relatives come together, it's a lot of turmoil and I like my peace. But knowing Maria was missing her mom last month, I called them to give her a surprise however the timing was not that fortunate. I would have just walked upstairs ignoring all of them but knowing Maria needs support in this I stayed.It's been two days since we found out about us having a miscarriage and Maria hasn't talked with me about it yet making me want to jump off a cliff. The guilt inside me was killing me knowing I was the cause of her having a miscarriage and losing one of our babies. The fact that the last two months have gone like shit makes me think about all its reasons and turns out it was all me."So, what did you do?" I was brought out of my thoughts to see my dad asking me with cr
"You fucking coward! You are going to leave me alone with a baby!?" My eyes widened at what she said making me shale my head immediately."No-""Listen to me, I am not going to make it easy for you but if I ever hear the word me and leaving in the same sentence, I will personally burn this place down with you in it. I won't be the one leaving. If you want to be my guest!" I parted my lips in surprise but then gave her a bitter smile and hugged her tightly."I am not leaving either of you, not now, not ever." She nuzzled in the crook of my neck as I felt her nod, I rubbed her back drawing slow circles in comfort."You better not or I might as well take all your money with me." She joked making me chuckle at it."Please don't blame yourself either," Maria said pulling back and giving me a tight smile but I didn't acknowledge it knowing I was the reason for it."Alesso," she tugged a loose strand of my hair behind my hear and I couldn't help but melt to that touch. "You were not yourself
Maria.We all settled at the dinner table. Vincent sitting at the head, on the right was Georgia, mum and Theo. And on the left were Angelo, Alesso me and then Matteo.This felt so much like the day we came here to Italy to meet the Romano family. The memory brought a spontaneous smile to my lips, remembering how far we have come now even though it's just six months."So, when did you guys arrive?" I broke the silence."Two days ago, but you guys were not here that was a surprise to us." Georgia chuckled, asking for an explanation but that made me remember that we had a miscarriage.Tears brimmed in my eyes before I could control them. I didn't want to ery in front of all of them."We were out for a few days, Maria wanted to go outside for a while." Alesso answer seeing that I was not able to. Matteo looked at me with furrowed brows but I gave him a small smile which he returned."But it is so cold out right now." Mum said making me give her a smug smile.I swear I heard Theo chuckli
"I got curious..." I looked at them and all heads asked for further explanation making me let out a sigh. "I work in the same office room so I was curious as to why everything was so secretive.""So you snooped around?" Mum said making me feel guilty."Yes." I murmured."Maria!" She said in a scolding tone."What!?" I asked angrily. "I deserved to know. All this time no one told me any truth, not a single one of you. You kept lying to my face and when I find out, I forgave you instead of getting angry and demanding a justification. So don't come lecturing me here that I did something wrong," I said in one breath making me sip a bit of water.I can't drink alcohol otherwise that would have helped me with the situation but no, I had to be pregnant now. Everyone was quiet and no one dared to talk knowing I was right this time."You go, girl." I heard Matteo giving a snide remark making me and Alesso let out a chuckle without resisting."We are sorry, Maria." I heard Theo say."We just wa
