Zoey p.o.vI woke up this morning feeling the usual, the feeling of nauseous cutting short my sleep. I rush to the bathroom, throwing up all my guts. These have been going on lately, I've been feeling fatigue, nauseous and dizziness.At first, I didn't put much thought to it, but it's been getting worse recently. I could hardly stay awake and the few times I'm awake it's either I'm throwing up or feeling light-headed.Marco's mom said it was because I've been skipping meals, and thinking too much. She right on that, though, I haven't been myself since Marco's death. I don't eat well, I sleep but not fully rested.Nothing was the same anymore, and it causes a pang of immense pain in my chest. Drifting to sleep at night was, but actually having a good night rest was hard for me. I missed him so much.Every time I think about him, reliving our moments in my mind it increases the pain in my heart making it difficult for me to breathe.The thought of not being able to see him again in this

Zoey p.o.vFive months later.....I held on to Alice as she assisted me down the stairs, I am round and full now that I'm in my third trimester. I feel heavier and bigger for obvious reasons, my feet are the worst of them all as they are fuller.“Ouch.” I hissed, baby kicked my abdomen again. The pain wasn't unbearable, but was still pain.“The baby kick again?” Alice asked, small smile playing on her lips.“Hmm.” I hummed, rubbing my left palm over the place, soothing it.“It's a healthy child.” Alice commented. “Be a good child and don't stress mummy too much, okay?” She spoke softly, bending close to my stomach.It moved again, but this time it didn't kick, more like a wave of hand to say okay. I giggled at the movement, it's one of the moments that keeps me going.This kind of moments did greatly remind me of Marco, and how his lack of presence has impacted our lives deeply. When I was with Adriano, he would speak to him, telling him how eager he was for him. Sometimes he would ge

Zoey p.o.vAs I finished eating a meal that could have easily fed ten people, I leaned back in my chair with a contented sigh. “I feel alive.” I release a burp nosily, Adriano giggles pointing at me.“Momma, you farted with your mouth.” He laughs further as if it's the funniest thing in the world.I smile, my heart swallowing with great Joy, he's my bundle of happiness. He's the one person I look at that keeps me going for the past months. My son and unborn daughter are my strength, His laughter was interrupted when he releases a burp, and that too noisily. He quickly slap his mouth shot as if to keep the sound in, Camila and I burst out laughing at his surprised expression.“You farted too.” Camila told him, pulling him into her arms tinkling his stomach. Their laughter spread over the kitchen, I watch them with the most perfect smile on my face.“I did not, Aunt Camila.” His pronunciations aren't correct, but understandable.“You did.” Camila threw him up in the air, catching him

Zoey's p.o.vI was frozen in the spot. For a moment, my breath caught in my throat, and my brain refused to function. I felt the rest of the world fading away, and the room closing in on me. My eyes picking him out and blocking everyone else. I blinked, once, twice, and for the third time, thinking I was hallucinating. The man sitting behind the desk in front of Matthew was none other than my husband – my supposedly dead husband. Marco.For the love of God, my freaking husband, whom we all thought was dead is sitting here, before my eyes.Confusion and disbelief warred within me as I tried to make sense of the impossible sight before me. Marco had died in the fire accident seven months ago, or so I had been told. “Donna.” Matthew freaked out, rushing to hold me as my legs buckled. I lift my hand, stopping him, supporting myself by leaning against the closest wall.“Marco?” I whispered, my voice barely audible. I was afraid that speaking too loud would shatter the fragile illusion

Zoey p.o.vI sat by the window staring outside, the night isn't young anymore, and it's way past the two hours Marco promised to come to me. I couldn't sleep, my mind filled with a whirlwind of emotions. I felt happy, confused, and hurt all at once. Happy that Marco was alive and breathing, confused about why he hadn't kept me informed of his plans, and hurt that he had seemingly forgotten about our meeting. I felt a sense of peace wash over me. Marco was safe, that's all that matters. The sound of the door cracking open reaches my ear, I don't bother to see who it is because there's only one person who could enter this room without any form of permission. And that person is Marco. “You should be asleep.” He spoke, confirming my guess. “Fuck, it's windy there, it's not good for you.” His footsteps approach me.I felt his presence, his warmth, before I physically saw him. I won't be able to get enough of his presence in this lifetime, his overwhelming presence is a reassurance to m

Marco p.o.v “There are snakes among my men.” I told her. “Aren't they always spies.” Her face frown confused. Her confused stare fixed on me, there have always been snakes implanted among my men. Having too many enemies, there's will these kinds of situations. “Roman Vladimir's snakes.” Her expression changes from the confused state to one of understanding. Roman Vladimir. He's the younger brother to Nikolai, Vladimir. My dad's swore enemy. He's the Russian leader, the Vladimir's has our enemies for decades. He's a sly Fox or so I've heard, if he were that capable, he wouldn't have been played on his on game. Would he? I had experience first hand what the Vladimir's did to my parents, the urge to get revenge has always been there. And now that he has presented himself on a platter of gold, I won't let this opportunity slides. Roman Vladimir isn't my biggest concern right, just an insignificant fly I need to get out of the way for the master mind to come out. “How did you find

Zoey p.o.vToday I woke up in a lighter mood than I've been for the past months, knowing that Marco is a big relief. A relief I couldn't content either can I express, I can only express it through my vibrant mood.“Ma'am, you seem to be in a better mood today.” Alice had asked me.My mood today was obvious to everyone in the mansion, they have seen me in this lively mood since the news of Marco death. So they are quite surprised.“Anything new?” She asked expectantly, smiling brightly as she awaits my response.I shook my head at her dismissively, she quickly took the signal that I didn't want to talk about it. I would rather not spill any words related to Marco's fake death, for obvious reasons.Presently I'm wary of every worker in the estate. Marco refused to point out or put a name of the spies.“You wouldn't be able to contain your emotions, if I point them out.” He declined firm when asked who they were.He was right on that, my reaction towards them if I were to know who they a

Third person p.o.v_The Hidden Lair_Roman Vladimir, the ruthless Russian mafia boss, stood in the dimly lit room, his eyes fixed on the phone as he reported to the hidden boss. His voice was laced with a mix of respect and venom.“Sir, it's done. Zoey is in my custody. The mission was a success. And Marco… is no more.” Roman's tone was laced with satisfaction, convinced he had finally avenged the past humiliation of his family. He could almost taste the sweet revenge, and his mind raced with the possibilities of exploiting Marco's empire.The hidden boss's voice was like a snake slithering through the grass, smooth and menacing. “Excellent work, Roman. You've proven yourself useful once again. I must admit, I'm impressed. You've exceeded my expectations.”Roman's thoughts seethed with anger and determination. _I finally settled the score. Marco's dead, and now I'll crush the rest of his empire. No one will dare challenge me again._ He could already envision the fear and respect he wo
