Ava p.o.vMy mouth fell open at the glamorous Mansion that stood in all it Glory before us, There is a marble water fountain that we rode around before stopping in front of the Mansion. An Angel holding a flower was perched on top, looking up towards the sky. Water spurted from it's other hand, which lay gently out in front of it, as if waiting for someone to take it in return. The water fell gently toward the crystal blue pool beneath it, causing ripples to form and wave out until they were no more.Vince open his door stepping out then came to my side and open the door for me, I was pushed behind the door the minutes I came down, He skimmed my neck with he nose sniffing a bit as if taking in my scent, My luck because I always wear my Chocolate musk perfume so I don't smell like a raw fish."Go inside, I will join soon." He murmured still not taking his face from my neck."You are not coming with me." I panicked, I don't know anyone where and I do not know where to go from here. He b
Ava p.o.vImagine the shock when you're been declared a mother, also to a child you nothing about. The child is cute and all, and most importantly I'm getting married to his Dad, so technically that makes me his step mom.But I don't know anything about being a Mother, talking more or less of a step Mom. Won't they think I mistreat him if I ever scold him? I don't even know how to act around him, does he even want me to be his Mom.I thought I'm just getting married to him, now I have a child to worry about. I don't know what to think or how to feel about this, but one thing is for sure it's all happening even if I don't want it to and fast.I was led to a dinning room bigger than the apartment Tricia and I shared, there were multiple foods lined up along the long table. I wasn't aware I was starving until my stomach made a loud rumble, I look down in shame as my face turned a shade of red.I couldn't be more embarrassed."Sit and eat." Vince said already taking his seat at the head o
Ava p.o.vIt's has to be hours of talk with Tricia and Kara, we've talking about anything and everything. Tricia and Kara are the same bubbly type, their mouths haven't rest since we finish lunch. Marco sat on my lap telling us about his school and how he's going to telling everyone he now have a Mom, I realized he's just five year old not the seven years I had assumed.He's quite tall and smart for his age, his basic intelligence and confidence is a lot more than his age mates. That's has to be Vince hand work, Mr and Mrs Alfonso had gone to their garden to work. I assume Kara dread going there except for relaxation, with the way she said it.I glanced at the big wall clock that sat above the TV and saw it was late, it's seven thirty so I might still get a bus."Kara, where is Vincenzo I like to tell him that I'm leaving now." I said gaining their attention, Marco turn in my lap to face me."Are you leaving Mom." He asks confused, he might be smart and talk maturely but he's still a
Vince p.o.vFor the first time in a really long time, in years actually. His night went well, smoothly even, without any disturbance. For the first time in years, He slept soundly like a baby who doesn't have a care in the world.Usually he won't able to sleep more than two hours before his nightmare would start, keeping awake all through the night. He have to keep himself busy, so he would start working.He has his own demons which little to one knows of, They were his past, his battle and struggles to survive. He started his fight to survive at a very young age, he built everything and anything he own today from the very scratch. He work day and night for a better future, Though he came out strong and successful but it came with a price.The price he paid was everything he should have, His Heart. He became cold and couldn't feel any emotion, he forget how to be normal, his soul was tore apart in front of his eyes and his life was consume with darkness. What everyone knows is that h
Ava p.o.vI walk down the stairs mindful not to miss a step and fall down embarrassing myself, seeing as there are many servants walking around carrying out their duties. Some even sneak stares at me, some in amazement, others curiously, While some blantly avoid staring or contact with me like a plague. I shrug and continue my walk.I had just step on the last stair when I felt a soft tug on my hand, I turn to see Marco already dressed for the day. He had a toothy grin on his face and I couldn't help myself but smile back at him."Good morning Mom." He smiled genuinely at me, I Pat his head in acknowledgement. "Mom you didn't went home yesterday?" He asked, you could here the excitement in his voice. I am somewhat conflicted, how long was this kid yearning for a mother."No." I replied, by now we had started walking to the kitchen."You look beautiful Mom." He complimented, I wasn't sure what to reply. This the first time a kid has complimented me, to say a blush has reveal itself on
Ava p.o.v I am furious.Why the hell would he resign for me, who the hell does he think he is to think he can do anything that pleases him. I'm not some tools he can use as he please.I need to cool off, I need a distraction to take my mind off things and be carefree, I need to live for myself for once. I entered Tricia's room, rummaging through her closet. I picked out a crop singlet and a short.I had meant to go to a club, but I ended up walking to the park. I sat on a bench watching as kids play around me, it is a beautiful sight. Would Marco love to come to the park, of course he would, he's a kid after all. "Hey." I turn to see two kids, a girl and a boy not older ten beside me holding a wool and a knitting pin, I arched an eyebrow at them. They are so cute as they smile sheepishly at me."Hi, I'm Katie and he is Liam." The girl introduce themselves."I'm Ava" "I'm sorry if we bother you but.....""do you know how to knit?" Katie interrupted Liam causing him to roll his eye
Ava p.o.vI am shell shock.What the hell did I do.Surprise at myself? YesDo I Regret doing it? Hell no.He deserves more than just a mere slap, if there's nobody that can tell him when he's wrong, then I would.I won't let anyone take me for granted, He don't own me, practically he does. But that gave him no right to decide for me, I was trying to be the reasonable one and not calling out on his controlling persona. But I guess this was the last srew.His face is slightly cock to the side from the impact of the slap, I can see a frown on his face, but did that made me flinch? No!Instead it fueled my anger, he has no right to get angry. If anything, I should be the one going crazy, he's been controlling my life and I kept quiet simply because I was been scared. Not anymore though, I can't have any of it anymore.I took a frightening step back when he took a threatening step forward, his eyes are burning in fury. Did I say I don't regret slapping him? Well that might be a lie, I mea
Ava p.o.vToday started as a normal day for me, it's a sunny day and the weather is nice and warm. But it's a boring for me, Nate doesn't have a class today that why I'm sitting on my own, and the Prof. is not helping at all.He's been ranting on and on about some tubula rasa, I can't wait for the class to finish so I can go home. Yeah home, because I'm officially jobless and phoneless too, now my life will be even more boring than it use to. I don't even know what to do with the spare time, sleeping is out of the question because I've been doing alot of it lately, so I will just have to watch TV.I'm bored out of my mind, of all my courses this is the one I dread the most, psychology. it's boring or maybe it's the professor that is boring, so I've been sitting here for almost two hours and staring at him like an attentive student, but I wasn't actually seeing him. I've space out but. not really thinking of any particular in thing.My gaze left Prof Greg to the entrance of the class,
Adriano’s POVI have never loved being injured more than this moment.Melanie has been treating me like an incapacitated child and I had no complaints.Thanks to the ibuprofen she made me take after breakfast, the pain in my arm wasn’t unbearable and thank God I gave in to her.The pain was quite intense at night and the only comfort I had was having Melanie sleeping in my arms since I was doing a shit job of that.However, she woke up at various intervals throughout the night to check on me and I did a good job pretending to be asleep at those times. I knew that because she didn’t dispute what I said when I told her I slept great.“Thankfully you didn’t pop any of the stitches in your sleep,” Melanie said. She was in the middle of changing the bandages on my arm.“I’m a good patient,” I told her.“Whatever,” she scoffed and finished bandaging my arm.“Thanks for taking care of me, Melanie,” I said.“You don’t need to thank me but you’re welcome all the same,” she replied.I leaned i
Melanie’s POVI woke up feeling something poking me from behind I immediately knew what it was.I was tempted to rub myself on him but, Adriano was still asleep and I didn’t want him to wake up while I was in the middle of whatever I was doing because I wasn’t sure how I would recover from that embarrassment.I felt him stir a bit and I feigned sleep, but it turned out I wasn’t that great of an actress because he knew I was awake.“Good morning, little nurse,” he whispered in my ear. “You can stop pretending to be asleep now.”I groaned. “You’re annoying in the morning,” I said.“Nope, I’m a ray of sunshine especially because I get to wake up next to you,” he replied.I ignored him and rolled over so I could face him.“Did you sleep well?” I asked.“Yeah, I did. I told you I can handle a little pain,” he answered.That wasn’t what I saw when I woke up a few times in the middle of the night to check on him. His face was contoured in pain and it was obvious that he was having a fitful s
Melanie’s POVAfter Adriano had his dinner, I gave him some painkillers that he took grudgingly but I put my foot down and insisted so there was no way for him to win that argument with me.“Thank you, Melanie,” he said.I was drying off the dish he used while he was keeping me company in the kitchen.“For what?””Taking care of me,” he replied.“I didn’t do much. I just stitched you up,” I responded.“You did more than that. You were my safe space. I went out today knowing I had you to come home to and I’ve never had that,” he said.I frowned in confusion. “You’ve never had a safe space?”"I've never had someone to come home to. Someone is waiting up and worried about me. I've never had that and you gave me that. You shined your light in my dark world and gave it color."God, he was being so sweet right now that I was about to cry. “What about your family? I know you really care about them, aren’t they your safe space?”“They’re bound by blood to always be on my side but you aren’t,”
Melanie’s POVOh, my God!I just let, Adriano finger fuck me!It was the most amazing sexual experience I’ve ever had and I didn’t even get to see his dick. Now I was embarrassed.I didn’t know if I would be able to look him in the eye ever again so I buried my face in his chest, trying to avoid the inevitable post-orgasmic haze conversation that we were bound to have any moment now.“Don’t do that, little nurse,” Adriano whispered in my ear.“I’m not doing anything,” I replied but it sounded more like a mumble.“You’re not looking at me and I have to wonder whether or not you regret what just happened,” he said.I raised my head to look him in the eye. “I don’t regret it,” I stated matter of factly.He smiled at me. “Good, because watching you come apart on my fingers was the most amazing thing I’ve ever watched and if you had regretted it, that would only piss me off.”Then he put the fingers that had been inside me just moments ago into his mouth and sucked my juices right off it a
Adriano’s POVMy girl was angry and rightfully so.I got her worried and I already felt bad for it. Plus, I told her I wasn’t going to get hurt but there was no way I could have foreseen the bullet ricocheting and grazing past my arm.When I got a call from Nik this morning telling me he had intel that the Russians might be moving the girls from one of their warehouses today, I left the house without hesitation.Although I was looking forward to spending the weekend with, Melanie, this was too important that it couldn’t be ignored.When Nik told me Alex Pushkin was the bratva head threatening to impede on my territory, I couldn't say I was surprised but I was fucking annoyed.I thought I’d already heard the last of him years ago but it seemed he was still the same cocky son of a bitch I knew. He didn’t know when he was way over his head thus, he kept pushing his limits and now I knew he was the reason why one of my trusted men betrayed me.He was going to get what was coming for him
Melanie’s POVI think I stopped breathing for a moment.There was no way I just heard, Nik correctly, he had to be messing with me.“You’re messing with me, right?” I said.“I wish I was,” he replied and that was all I needed to hear before I began running towards the patient room.I didn’t bother looking back to find out if Nik was following me. All I knew was, Adriano has been hurt and I wanted to see him.I burst into the room and found, Adraino, lying on the bed and holding a shirt to his left arm. I stopped in my tracks, trying to catch my breath. He wasn’t unconscious, neither did he look disoriented.He was even smiling at me!“Hey, little nurse,” he said and I couldn’t hold it anymore, I burst into tears.I was in his arms in the blink of an eye while Nik walked in.“What the fuck did you do to her?” I heard Adriano ask.“I didn’t do shit! I only told her you’ve
Melanie’s POVIt was a weekend and I expected to spend it with, Adriano but he left before I woke up.I wanted to text him before I realized that I still didn’t have his number after all this time. That was something I had to rectify as soon as possible because not knowing where he was or what he was doing was killing me and Alice could sense it.“Why do you look so worried?” she asked.“Did, Adriano tell you where he was going before he left the house?” I asked.She shook her head. “I’m sorry but, Mr. Alfonso does not give me details of his day,” she answered.“And he didn’t tell you when he was coming back,” I said.“You need to stop worrying, Melanie. He just went to work, I’m sure he’s safe,” she said.“I hope so.”I had this twisted feeling in my stomach when I woke and not seeing, Adriano made me feel worse.“I don’t know, Alice. I don’t feel so good,” I said.She
Melanie’s POVThe next few weeks passed by in bliss and before I knew it, I was looking forward to my evening with, Adriano. It was like we were in our own little bubble.He hasn’t made any more advances at me but we’ve been doing a lot of making out. I was all kissed out at this point and I wanted him to just throw caution to the wind and fuck me instead. He really chose the wrong time to be a gentleman because I was going through the height of sexual frustration.Every night, he walked me to my bedroom door, kissed me goodnight, and walked away from me.On the other hand, Hayley and her boyfriend have been going at it like whores on crack. Yes, I knew because she wouldn't shut up about it all the time. It was like I had a front-row seat to the details of her sexual life.Thanksgiving was two weeks away and I still hadn't told my mom whether I was coming home or not.I had been avoiding her calls, using
Melanie’s POVHayley was all giggles and smiles throughout our shift and she disappeared more than once to do something ‘urgent’ and I knew fully well what she meant by that.If they continued like this, it was only a matter of time before people realized something was going on between her and Dr. Rodriguez, although that might be for the best in my opinion.Other girls would know he was spoken for and stop attempting to throw themselves at him.Hayley even suggested we have a double date with our partners. While I was excited about the new thing I’ve got going on with, Adriano, I wasn’t ready to share him yet.But I didn’t want to turn her down so easily so I told her I would think about it.It took a little longer than I expected since Alice always told Aria everything, I swear the both of them were like two peas in a pod but she finally reached out to me.I got a text from her during my lunch break
