"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
Enzo sighed as he walked into his office. He looked at his chair to see Matteo sitting down their typing away on his laptop. "Make yourself at home", Enzo said as he went to the couch and laid down. "How is the feedback from her training?", Matteo asked. "For the past four days, she's been good and impressive", he answered. Matteo raised a brow, "Does that include strength in bed?". Enzo glared at him and he grinned. "Agatha and I heard everything", Matteo said. Enzo nodded, "I hope you enjoyed every second of it". "Tell me, Enzo. I'm your best friend, we're literally brothers. So tell me what you feel about her", Matteo asked. Enzo raised a brow as he sat up straight, "Nothing. I don't have any feelings". Matteo rolled his eyes at his best friend's denial."We're not teenage girls in highschool", Matteo said. "And I'm not doing this shit with you. If you think I love her, then no. I'm not going to be like my father and mother. After the shit that Isabella pulled. I'm not falling i
"You don't look good", Agatha said to Arieon who was breathing heavily. She was still laying in the bed holding the covers close to her. "I'm good, I'm just cold", she answered. Understanding that it's already November, Agatha nodded. "If you need anything, I'll be in the kitchen", she said and Arieon nodded. As Agatha left, she got out if bed and ran to the bathroom. She knelt in front of the toilet and vomited out her stomach's content. "This is horrible", she gagged as she stood up. She continued to gag until she stopped before brushing her teeth. After taking a bath and dressing in a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt, she braided her hair and walked out of her room."You're okay?", Agatha asked as she walked into the kitchen. Arieon nodded, "it's just a random cold". Agatha nodded and handed her a plate filled with omelettes and bacon. "Thank you", Arieon told her as she went to sit by he island."How's everything with Enzo?", Agatha asked her as she sat in front of her with
Agatha was busy cleaning the glass figurines when Arieon walked into the living room. "Do you know where the Advil is?", She asked. Agatha shook her head, "Why do you need them?". "I have a killer headache and I've been puking my guts out all morning", Arieon groaned and went to lay on the couch."What if it's what I think it is?", Agatha said as she stopped what she was doing and sat across her. Arieon sat up straight and turned to face her, "Do you think it's a fever?". With the face Agatha gave her, Arieon knew she wasn't talking about a fever. She knew that look from anywhere. That was the look Addison gave Alison when she slept with Dylan without protection."No, it's not possible", Arieon told her. Agatha raised a brow, "You guys have made love like three times without protection". "I wouldn't call it that but anyways, I'm not pregnant", Arieon denied. She couldn't be pregnant, could she?She let out a laugh, "I'm not pregnant. I'm too young to be carrying a child". Agatha nodd
It's been two weeks since Arieon found out she was pregnant, she had done a good job in keeping the information from Enzo. Lucas was crushed that she was pregnant but he had to force a smile to support her. He was falling deeply for a married pregnant woman. He was so pathetic. "What did you want to tell me?", Arieon asked him. They were in their favorite hanging out spot in the McDonald's restaurant. He let out a sigh and rub his face with his hand. "I don't know how to say this, Arieon", he admitted. "Just tell me", she said as she drank her smoothie. "Arieon, I love you", he confessed as he locked eyes with her.She frowned, "I love you too. Why are you acting weird?". He let out a frustrated sigh and covered his face with his hands. "You understand how much I love you. It hurts to see you happy about your pregnancy and happily married while I'm here sulking about not meeting you first", he said and let out a sigh after his speech.Arieon looked at him in shock. She couldn't say
It's been a week since Enzo decided to leave without letting Arieon notice. For the first two days, she thought he was giving her space.Now, she was worried and scared. Was he dead? Was he okay? Was he mad? She would end up sleeping on the couch in the living room everyday waiting for him but he wouldn't come home. Yesterday, she cried for a very long time as she thought about how she lost two people because of her selfish acts."Do you want to watch a movie?", Agatha offered as she saw her friend's distraught state. "I'm fine", Arieon mumbled as she stared at the window. Agatha sighed and went to sit beside her on the bed. "At least eat something", Agatha said. "I'm not hungry", Arieon said stubbornly. Agatha rubbed her face in frustration."Enzo will kill me if he finds out that you've been skipping meals. Arieon, the last time you eat was the day before yesterday!", Agatha exclaimed. Arieon tore her gaze away from the window and looked at her friend."At least, eat. For the baby
For the past two days, Arieon hasn't been feeling the brightest at all. Enzo, Matteo and Agatha could see it. Anytime they asked her if she was feeling alright, she'd brush them off and change the topic."I hate you", Arieon gave Matteo a sour who. He chuckled and shook his head as he licked his fingers to clean off the chocolate. "Wash your hands", Agatha told him as she walked into the living room holding a lot of files in her hands. "Where are you going?", Arieon asked with a frown. "I need to help Enzo take these files to the office", she said to her and she nodded. "Let me drive", Matteo said as he stood up. "I'm not even going to object. I have a lot of things to do, let's go", she said to him.He turned to Arieon. "We'll finish our debate later", he said to her and she rolled her eyes. As they left the living room she went to the library to look for something to read. She found an interesting looking novel and decided to read it in her room. As she made her way up the stairs,
"It's a boy", Addison said. "It's a girl", Alison countered. Addison glared at her sister, "I know what I'm saying, little sis. It's a boy". Alison pushed her aside and they began their cat fight.Arieon sighed and shook her head in amusement. She heard the door open in the background and the phone was picked up. Her mother's face came in view."Hey sweetie", Elisa said with a heartwarming smile. "Hi Mom", Arieon smiled. "How are you holding up?", Elisa asked her. "I'm okay. I've been getting tired lately", Arieon told her.Elisa chuckled and turned to face her other two daughters. "The both of you need to stop before I send you to rehab", she said before turning back to the screen. "You'll just have to take it easy", she said. Arieon giggled and nodded. "Okay Mom. Please say hi to dad for me" she said. "I'll do just that, sweetie", her mom said and she hung up. Arieon sighed and dropped her phone on the bed before standing up. She made her way to the library and went to look for a
"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's eyes widened as she felt her cheeks get hot. She's kidding, right?. The door of the room opened and Agatha walked in, "You're still like this?". Nope, she's not kidding, Arieon sighed. "I'll take a quick bath and come out, no need to rush", she said as she walked into the bathroom.An hour later, she was dressed in a red dress that hugged her heaven blessed curves in all areas paire
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. "A hundred!", his son exclaimed. Enzo rolled his eyes, "No problem". Alessa ran into the kitchen and saw the two of them prepari
"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
