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
"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 watched distastefully as her mother continued to talk about the wedding party they were going to attend the next day."Arieon, pay attention child!", Elisa scolded her daughter who was narrowing her eyes at her. With an eye roll, she continued with what she was saying."Mother, do I really have to go?", Arieon asked. Elisa glared at her stubborn daughter, "You're going to that wedding no matter what. We need to present ourselves there as a family". "Dear, take it easy on her", Lucas walked in holding a cup of coffee in his hand.'Thank you!', Arieon screamed in her head as her mother's shoulders sagged down."Has Tiffany sent your dress?", Elisa asked her daughter. She nodded, "I got it this morning"."You and your sisters are going to the spa later this afternoon", her mother said. With an annoyed sigh, she nodded and stood up to leave.Eliza watched in frustration as her daughter left the living room."She as grown to be a beautiful woman", Lucas said as he sat beside his wi
"Please reduce her intake of sugar and salt. She needs to take it easy on the number of sweets she eats", Arieon told the woman who had a girl on her lap."Will she be okay?", The worried woman asked as she looked down at her five year old daughter. Little Lilith had a heart stroke and it was a mighty battle of wills before they could revive her.Arieon smiled warmly at the woman, "She's a strong little girl. She'll be fine". After prescribing drugs to her, they bid their goodbyes. Arieon's phone began to ring. She looked at the caller and frowned.Her father was calling her.He rarely called her so why was he calling her now?"Yes, dad?", She picked up. There was a shuffling in the background. "Sweetheart, how are you feeling?", He asked. "I'm fine, thank you. May I ask why you called?", She asked with a frown."I just wanted to hear your voice, darling. I miss my girls so I decided to hear the youngest first", he said with a small laugh."Okay", she said still not convinced but bru
Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves at the triplets' birthday party. Their parents hosted a large birthday party in their grand mansion. Many people were invited from far and near to come and celebrate with the De Mevius."Where's Alison?", Addison asked her younger sister. She shrugged, "Maybe kissing Dylan". Addison cringed at the image of her sister kissing and immediately shunned the image."Don't give me creeps", she told Arieon who laughed at her. "Your expression was priceless", she said."Any suitors?", Addison asked. Arieon rolled her eyes, "I told them I'm not interested". "I'll not be surprised if you married at the age of seventy", Addison shook her head at her sister. Arieon glared at her, "Don't be surprised if I got married before you". Addison cocked an eyebrow, "Is that a challenge?". "I think it is", Arieon pipped. With a laugh, the two sister shook their heads and began to search for their sister to complete their trio.Feeling a burning stare at her back, Ar
He watched as she slept peacefully on the sofa. They were flying back to Italy so he could check on one of the warehouses. He wasn't the type to see woman cry. Damn, if his sister would shed a tear he'd wreck havoc in the nations of the world. He wasn't the one to feel guilty but then he felt it. It wasn't his decision to have her. It was his father's. Unlike his father, he didn't want to settle down for anyone knowing they'll be his weakness. Vincenzo Armani had no weaknesses. The name alone was enough to get one shaking in his or her shoes. He hoped that she wasn't a bad choice. Arieon opened her eyes slowing to see a man staring at her. Groggily, she rubbed her eyes and sat up straight. She tried to move her neck but whimpered when a pain shot through it. "Shit", she cursed as she raised her hand to massage it. "I'm guessing your neck is stiff", the man said making her look up. She winced when her neck hurt. "Allow me", he stood up and walked over to her. Her breath seized w
It has been four days since Arieon set her eyes on Vincenzo, not that she was complaining though. She had the time to explore the mansion. She didn't forget to yield to his warning fearing he may hurt her. "I think orange goes better with it", Agatha told her. "Isn't it too bright?", Arieon frowned. "Well, oranges are bright", Agatha shrugged. Agreeing with her, she decided to paint oranges on the tree. They were in the sun room at the highest part of the mansion. Just like it's name, the sun was shining bright in the room. According to Agatha, anyone could watch the sun rise and set from here. Arieon and Agatha became good friends over the past few days. "It looks good", Arieon said with pride as she looked at her artwork. A scenery of a beautiful garden. Arieon loved to paint. It was a talent she got from her father. "While you don't", Agatha chuckled making her look down at her apron. There were stains of different colors on it. "I'll wash it later", she said as she removed
The sun wasn't even out yet and Arieon was already awake preparing for her wedding. How ironic?Wasn't a woman meant to be happy and excited on her wedding day? Well, that's not the case for Arieon then. She didn't even have a smile on her face as Agatha gave her a full body spa.After getting dressed in a white sundress and her hair pulled up in a neat bun, she made her way downstairs. "After breakfast, Capo asked you to meet him at the court", Agatha told her as she served her. Arieon nodded and began to eat. After enjoying her meal, two guards escorted her to the slick black Escalade waiting for them. They arrived at the court and she was escorted in. She saw Enzo and the lawyer talking. Sensing her arrival, he turned around and their eyes looked. Feeling the heat rush to her face, she averted her eyes to the ground. The lawyer smiled at the tension. "Hello, Ms. De Mevius, I'm Mr. Blaze", he said trying to ease the tension. "It's nice to meet you sir", she raised her head to l

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
