Everyone here was wearing red or black. The women's dresses screamed money and so was their makeup. At first, Arieon felt out of place but when she saw how some of them looked like plastic dolls, she felt comfortable in her own skin.

"You look beautiful", a woman approached her. She looked like model even though she was old. "Thank you. You look exquisite too. Is that necklace Tiffany's?", Arieon asked. The woman chuckled and nodded, "I love their brand of jewelries mostly". Arieon nodded in agreement, "They are very artistic".

"You're a very smart woman, Mrs. Armani", the woman said. "Please call me Arieon", Arieon told her with a smile. "I'm Mrs. Rossi but you can call me Milani", she said and Arieon nodded.

"Where's your husband?", She asked. "He went to make a call", Arieon said and she nodded. "How are you liking Italy?", Milani asked her as she flagged down a waiter. "It's a beautiful place", Arieon said as they picked a glass of champagne from the tray the waiter was holding.

Her eyes widened as she realized that she was naked under the covers.She tried to sit up straight but something heavy was holding her down. She placed her hand on it and discovered that it was an atm. She looked to her side to see the owner of the arm and her heart dropped. Vincenzo was fast asleep looking as peaceful as a baby. Her mouth went dry as she tried to remember what happened last night. They got drunk and went home, that was a she could remember.Tears formed in her eyes as she failed to remember what happened next. She peeled the cover away from her body and her eyes zeroed on the evidence of last night's events on the bed. A sob left her mouth as she began to shake Enzo. "Enz

    For the past three days, Arieon hadn't seen Enzo and she was already starting to get worried. Agatha assured her that everything was alright and Enzo was okay but that wasn't enough to keep her calm.Even though their last interaction wasn't sweet, she still worried for his safety "What are you painting?", Agatha asked as she walked into the sun room where Arieon was sitting painting. "A white rose", Arieon replied as she was so engrossed in what she was doing. This was one of the ways to keep her from stressing out like a worried mom. "It doesn't look like a rose", Agatha frowned as she sat beside her. "that's because I'm not done yet", Arieon told her. Agatha nodded and focused on how she painted. If anyone could see her right now, he or she would know that Arieon had a passion for painting. This was the kind of passion that Agatha had for singing but that was several years ago. "Does it look like a rose now?", Arieon asked after few more minutes it painting. She wiped her hands

    Arieon was dressed in a purple sundress that stopped above her knees. Thankfully, she was allowed to wear flat shoes this time. Her hair was pulled in a messy bun and she wore only mascara and lip gloss."You look beautiful", Agatha told her. "Simple would have been the perfect word but I'm not complaining, am I?", Arieon shrugged and she laughed. They walked into the living room and saw Matteo leaning on the wall with a brownie in his mouth as he typed away on his phone. Arieon and Agatha frowned at this. Sending stares on him, he raised his head. "Hey ladies, you're looking as beautiful as ever", he said with a charming smile. "Hey, Matteo. If I may ask, what are you doing here?", Arieon said. I came to keep Agatha company while you and Enzo go for dinner.Agatha tensed and her cheeks reddened. Enzo walked into the living room while he played with the pistol in his hand carelessly. As he walked forward, Arieon went to hide behind Agatha. Enzo frowned while Matteo and Agatha laughed

    For the past one week, Arieon had been nagging Enzo to let her go out of the house. Finally, he agreed because his mother had confronted him to do so."Take Marcus with you and you must come back before five o'clock", he told her. She rolled her eyes and stood up from the couch. "You're not my dad!" she spat and turned to leave."Watch your tone", he warned and she hissed at him before walking out of his office. She walked into the living room to see one of his men standing there. "Are you Marcus?", She asked him. He nodded, "Capo asked me to accompany you". At least he was nice. He was tall with Sandy blonde hair but he had bright green eyes that looked like emerald gems. "Your eyes are pretty", she blurted out her thoughts and her eyes widened.Marcus chuckled, "Thank you, I get that a lot from many people". She nodded and followed him out of the mansion. "Capo told me to let you choose the car you want", he said as they walked into the large garage. Arieon nearly squealed in exci

    The loud screams of the man only seemed to bore Enzo the more. He rolled his eyes and nodded at his men to chip off the man's fingers completely."I'm going to enjoy this", Enzo said as he sat down and crossed his legs while his men began to chop off the man's fingers."No matter what you do, I'll never tell you?!", The man screamed at him. Enzo rolled his eyes, "I know you won't tell me. That's why I'm making your death very slow and painful".The man coughed out blood, "Go to hell". Enzo rolled his eyes, "Aren't we all going there?". He picked up his gun and pointed it at the man. "Boys, move", he said and they obeyed."So you want to shoot me?", The man laughed. "No shit, Sherlock", Enzo rolled his eyes. "You wouldn't dare", the man sneered. "Do me a favour and say hi to Satan for me when you get there, okay?", Enzo said pulled the trigger followed by a loud bang. The man fell backwards with the chair as the hole in his head began to bleed."Clean the mess up and take a shower", En

    Arieon was busy painting a picture when her phone began to ring. She put down the paint brush and smiled as she saw the caller ID."Hey", she said as she picked up. "Hey beautiful", Lucas voice boomed in her ears making her small smile stretch wider. "Hey, Lucas. Aren't you meant to be at work?", She asked."I am at work. I'm having break", he said and she nodded. "Aren't you supposed to be looking for a job?", He asked her. She chuckled, "My husband won't allow me to have a job. It's a miracle I'm allowed to go outside".Lucas chuckled, "Will he allow you to leave the house today?". "I couldn't care less but I guess so", she answered and he laughed. "How about we go to get something to eat?", He offered. "Aren't you on break?", She asked as she sat up straight."I'm the boss", he said. "Okay, where should we meet?", She said as she stood up from the bed. "I'll pick you up", he said. "No!", She shouted immediately and her eyes widened. "Why?", She could hear the frown in his voice.

    Enzo walked into the library and let out a sigh of relief when he saw Arieon laying on one of the couches. She was asleep with a book on laying on her chest. He walked closer to see to see her clearly. She was wearing a blue dress that and already rode up her thighs showing her creamy skin. Tearing his eyes away from her attractive skin, he focused on the task at hand."Arieon", he called as he tapped her gently. She didn't answer so he decided to shake but gentle enough to wake her up. "Come on, Arieon. Wake up, it's time for lunch", he shook her gently.With a small groan she held the book closer and swatted his hands away. "Addison get the fuck away", she moaned. He raised a brow while his lips curved up in amusement. "Arieon, wake up", he shook her again."I swear to God, Addison if this isn't important I'll kill you", she mumbled as she sat up straight and rubbed her eyes.She opened her eyes and came face to face with gray ones. Addison's eyes aren't gray?, She frowned. "Now t

    "Then you throw it like this", Agatha said as she effortlessly threw a knife at the bullseye's board. It got stuck at the red dot.That made Arieon blink several times. "I'm not sure if I can do that", Arieon said with a nervous chuckle. Agatha laughed and went to remove the knife. "Just relax your muscles when you raise your hand up and contract them when you want to throw the knife", she said as she handed her the knife.Today was the day she started learning defense training and thankfully, she was starting it with Agatha first. "I don't know how to do that", Arieon admitted sheepishly. "Just do as I say, okay?", Agatha said and she nodded. "Raise your hand above your head, gently", she said Arieon obeyed. "Now, throw with force", Agatha said. Arieon obeyed and threw the knife. It landed on one of the blue rings. "That was close", Agatha said and Arieon nodded. "Let's try that again", Agatha said as she went to remove the knife. "This time, try to move all your strength from your

    "Arieon", Brea said as she walked into the room. Arieon was sitting by the windowsill reading a novel. She looked up to see her mother in law standing by the door beaming with a smile. "Brea, what are you doing here by this time?", Arieon said as she closed her book. "You have to get ready", Brea said as she approached her. "Get ready for what?", Arieon frowned. Her eyes fell on the red shopping bag in her hands. Brea dropped the bag on the bed and went to pull her up on her feet."Enzo has booked the whole night for the both of you to spend together", she said as she dragged her to the bathroom.

    Arieon sat in the sunroom as she read a novel she found on the nightstand in Enzo's room. It was a werewolf story that seemed to capture her attention and didn't make her notice when Enzo walked in. He leaned on the door frame as he admired her beauty. Her stomach was still flat but the glow in her skin was an evidence that there was a new life growing inside her. Her beautiful brown hair had grown so long that it flowed past her elbows. The way she'd pout unconsciously was driving him nuts. "Bella is stupid", she mumbled as sh was obviously upset with the main female character of the story. "You seem to forget about your surroundings", Enzo said causing her jolt out of her seat in fear. The book fell down with a loud thud while Arieon was still in shock. Enzo chuckled and walked towards her. "Sorry", he said as he bent down to pick up the book. Arieon knew he was anything but sorry. "You scared the hell out of me!", she glared at him but he just grinned at him. "The result was wor

    Enzo sat in his study going through the paperwork on his desk when Antonio walked in. "Daddy?", he called. "Hmm?", Enzo looked up. "I'm hungry", the boy pouted. His father rolled his eyes but stood up nevertheless. "And what would you like to eat?", he asked. Antonio's eyes widened to the size of saucers as he happily approached his father. "Cookies", he said. "You kids need to reduce your sugar intake", Enzo said as they walked out of his study. "Why?", his son asked. "You'll get fat". Antonio scrunched his nose in disgust. "I'll never be fat", he said and Enzo chuckled. "Really?". Antonio nodded, "I want to be like you".Enzo laughed and ruffled his head, "You'll be better than me". The happily followed his father down the stairs to the kitchen. "How much cookies do you want to make?", Enzo asked him as he went to get the pans and pots from the cupboards.

    "Mommy, school was hard today", Antonio said as he caressed his mother's hand. "Me too, mommy", Alessa added as she walked towards the bed where Arieon lay. Enzo was carrying a sleeping Andrea as he walked in. He went over to Arieon and gently placed Andrea beside her. The little boy snuggled closer to his mother as his father left him. "Daddy, why isn't mommy waking up yet?", Alessa asked with a sad pout. "She'll wake up soon", Enzo said to her as he took a seat beside Arieon. It's been three weeks since she had been unconscious but she made no effort to wake up. Her skin was no longer pale and had come back to its usual glow. Her lips were now the soft baby pink color that made Enzo want to kiss her even though she was unconscious.Enzo was getting to the point of giving up but the kids kept sparking up a light of hope in him that she'll wake up soon. "Daddy, when mommy wakes up, can we go to the park?", Antonio asked. Enzo nodded, "I promise". He nodded and continued to caress his

    "She lost a lot of blood and she's barely hanging onto consciousness", the doctor told Enzo as they walked into the ward were Arieon was. "We had to induce her into coma so she and the baby will remain alive", the doctor said and Enzo's eyes widened. He stopped walking and turned to face the doctor. "I'm sorry, did you say baby?", he asked.The doctor nodded with a smile. "Congratulations are in order, Mr. Armani. I must say, your wife is really strong. Any average woman would have had a miscarriage immediately but she was able to save the baby", he said. Enzo's eyes immediately fell on Arieon's unconscious body. There were a lot of wires stuck to her skinny body and her beautiful creamy skin was now deathly pale. "I'll leave the both of you alone for now", the doctor said and walked out.Enzo slowly made his way towards Arieon fearing that his steps might wake her up. He sat down on the chair beside her and placed his hand on her smaller one which had no wire attached to it. "I'm sor

    It's been a week, Arieon thought as she struggles to keep her eyes open. She slowly looked down at the ground below her chair that had a pool of blood surrounding it. She had bled from her private part throughout the night and she was so weak and tired.The door opened and Gordon walked in. "I see you're enjoying your time here", he said with a smirk. Arieon rolled her eyes tiredly at him. Go to hell!, she wanted to say but her mouth was sealed. He chuckled at her silence and walked towards her. "Cat got your tongue?", he asked her. I'll show what the cat can also catch!, she glared at him. She was too tired but him talking was making things worse for her. God, please just strike him with lightening already!, she cried out in her head. "Your hubby will soon be joining us", Gordon told her. Arieon chuckled. She knew that Enzo wouldn't come for her no matter the situation. Only if the kids wanted to see her again. Her heart clenched as her mind wandered to the kids. "Sad?", Gordon tau

    Arieon opened her eyes to the creaking and loud slamming of the door. Gordon walked in whistling loudly much to Arieon's displeasure. "Would it kill you to shut up?", she said angrily as she glared at him. He narrowed his eyes at her. Yes, she was beautiful but her attitude was something he didn't like. "I think I can make a good use of your mouth if you don't learn manners", he said with a sly grin. Arieon's nose scrunched up in disgust as she looked away.This man is disgusting!, she sighed and closed her eyes. "Now, let's start from the beginning", Gordon said and approached her. "Good day, my lady. I can see that you enjoyed yourself throughout the night", he said. "Of course I did but you know what would be nice?", Arieon asked. "And what would that be?", he asked. "For you to shut the fuck up!", she snapped. "Stupid whore", he growled and slapped her hard that she mistakenly bit her lip.She coughed a little and then chuckled, "I hope you're enjoying keeping as a toy". "You're o

    "Daddy!", Alessa ran into the kitchen with he brothers on her tail. She ran and hid between his legs. "Alessa, stop being a baby", Antonio pouted and crossed his arms. "What's going on?", Enzo said as he placed the tray of food on the island. He was making a snack for them while they were playing in the backyard. "I don't want to swing, they'll push me hard and I'll fly", Alessa told him."I thought you said you wanted to fly", Andrea said. The girl shook her head. "I said I wanted wings", she said. Her brother looked at her in confusion. Enzo sighed and shook his head at his triplets. "How about we all play at the swing together?", he suggested. The three children looked up at their father with happiness shining in their eyes. "Are you sure you're not busy?", Andrea said. "No, I'm not busy. But if you don't want me to play with you...", Enzo trailed off as he turned to leave. "NO!", the children yelled and he burst out laughing. "Okay, head on first and I'll follow", he told them. T

    Enzo was busy in his study when he heard a little knock on the door. "Come in", he said not looking up from his laptop. The door opened and Alessa walked in. She was holding a teddy bear and her small blanket. "Daddy", she said with tears in her eyes. He looked up and frowned. She was supposed to be asleep, it was already past midnight."Baby, what's wrong?", he asked as she came closer. "D-daddy", she stuttered as she tried to contain her tears. She let out inaudible noises and coughs as she walked closer. It was a habit she displayed whenever she didn't want to cry. "Princess, come here", he stretched his arms wide. Alessa bursted into tears as she ran to her father. "Daddy, I'm sorry!", she cried as he lifted her unto his lap. He frowned, "You did nothing wrong". She buried her face in his chest, "Is it because of me you don't love me?". "Why are you saying this, princess?", Enzo asked as he wiped her tears with his sleeves. "I had a very bad dream", she sniffled as he pulled her
