Ava p.ovI came out of the bathroom with a towel around my chest after a well deserved warm bath, The room was empty, I had half expected to see Vince on the bed with his laptop or even on the couch. But he isn't, maybe he step out for breakfast or probably to make a call or something.I shrug and make my way to the walk in closet at the other side of the room, rummaging through my things looking for something light to wear. Since the weather outside is boiling, ok, I exaggerated that but the sun is hot.I settle for a short that stop at mid-thigh and a plain tank top, I skip down the stairs to the kitchen as my stomach rumbling warning me to feed it. Entering the kitchen, I stop at the door staring as a middle-aged woman runs about shakingly setting the dinning table.Vince who sat at the head of the table was he busy with his phone, oblivious of how frightened the woman is by his presence. I walk in taking a seat beside Vince, his gaze left his phone and settled on me, I look away b

Ava p.o.v"Ah, you did make it alive, Dario was positive you would, guess he was right after all." Tricia Puff out air of relief."You thought I wouldn't make it, didn't you?" I eyed her.This is our first quiet moment alone, since Vince was so determined to lock me up in his beach house and keeping me glued to his side. I had to follow him everywhere he went, bathroom, study, closet, everywhere. I was frustrated, I even went as far as begging him to let me out for some fresh air but he won't budge, claiming I had disobeyed him by leaving the house when he told me not to.Please is walking to the sea side leaving the house? For Christ sake I was still in his property.The only reason I'm sitting here in a five star restaurant with Tricia, is because Vince is here for business and since I'm his personal bodyguard I tagged along."Don't give me that eye, did you not see his angry scary face that day? It's was like a volcano ready to erupt." Tricia spoke earning a giggle from me."It's w

Ava p.o.vI woke up to the sound of birds chirping happily.My eyes open slowly, adjusting to the bright sunlight that seeped into the room from the window.A gentle breeze created by the ceiling fan softly brushed my hair into my face causing a chill to sweep over me. I snuggled up against Vince's firm chest seeking warmth from his body heat.I peek up at the man sleeping soundly beside me, He is sleeping on his back, partially covered by the comforter leaving his brain freezing strong abs in display, with one hand behind his head resting on a pillow.He looked so much more handsome when he slept. Vince's sharp features were more relaxed- lips slightly parted, Vince's disheveled obsidian- black hair fell in his face, falling slightly over his arched eyebrows that gave him a Stern and focus expression.Angular jaw that was perfectly framed by little dark stubble that must have grown over these few days. Although they gave a striking facial features that added to his steely demeanor, b

Fully clothed and my strength fully restored, I decided to make breakfast since we haven't had anything to eat and the rain is still pouring. And hard.Vince has made it somewhat a tradition to take us out for breakfast for the past week, and then show me around for a while. And I have to say it did help a lot in our relationship, we've come closer to each other and much more open minded to each other.Once Vince insist I should be free with him and speak up my mind when ever I feel it, and him on the other hand has become less controlling and demanding giving me chance to make my own choices.It's the sweetest thing he's has done and my heart swollen seeing him trying to adjust, it's not easy for him as he has always be the one calling the shots but he's trying for our relationship and for me.Seeing him trying to make things easier for us which I know didn't settle well with him always makes my heart flutter and my stomach filled with butterflies.I think I'm falling for him.Snappi

AvaIt would be difficult for me to describe how I felt at the moment. Obviously, a form of anger was starting to build from within me.I should be terrified, petrified even and to speak the truth I am. But my anger is much more than anything other thing.My anger is directed to Vince and his rivals, I'm angry at Vince for having too many enemies and his enemies for making me their main target.What I don't understand is why.Why me, why am I the main target. I just don't get it, why using me as a bait to get to Vince. If they want to fight with Vince why not go directly instead of endangering innocent people.I'm just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life before Vince came along, now I have to look over my shoulder Everytime I'm out. I'm not sure if I'm safe in our own home.This isn't what I planned for, it's not want I sighed up for. All I wanted was a peaceful and quiet life, why can't I have that, why am I placed in the middle of these chaos.I don't want this.I don't think I

My gaze move from my phone to the door, I watch as Vince quietly walks into the room. He made a pause and frown when he stare at the empty bed, like he was expecting me to sit on it waiting for his arrival like an obedient little girl.Well jokes on him! I grinned.If only I could just jump on him attacking with blows for locking me in, but I know he would soon notice my presence and just like that his gaze swept the place and locked on mine.I saw his tensed features visibly relax, and he walks further into the room. Quickly, I stood up denying him access to the closet. He has been drenched from the rain, although the rain ended an hour ago and his clothes weren't dripping with water anymore, but he was still soaked."You can't just keep me lock in here as it's pleases you!" No reply, all I got in response was a raised of eyebrow."It's very..... Very foolish!" I said still no reply, instead he turned on his heels and walk straight to the bathroom leaving standing here like an idiot.

Ava p.o.vI collapsed on the hard wooden floor completely exhausted and breathless, my limbs ache and every parts of my body hurts like hell. I remain laying there on my stomach not wanting to stand up, my bones are too weak for any more movements plus I find it relaxing here.My breathing is hard, short and fast. My throat is dried to the point it's almost sore, sighing in contentment as I felt at peace laying on the floor and gathering my strength.I had just finished jogging eight laps around the perimeter of the big Field that lay behind the beach house. I just want to lay here and sleep to God knows when, The door open and shut disturbing my peaceful rest."Donna." I grunt and turn to Luca, my personal trainer and one of Vince most trusted men. Luca would easily passed as a giant, his stature is quite intimidating. He is tall, very tall easily towering over my 5'4 standing at six feet, large and extremely tense bulging muscles.There's is a five inches long scar across his left e

Ava p.o.vI stared at the center of the water which we were miles away from and watched the breeze caress it, creating an an uproar as the waves crashed against each other.A small gentle smile spread on my lips, it was one of contentment and awe. Watching the waves flowing tho and fro gave me a sense of serenity.Sighing, I slumped against the headrest of the seat bore out of my mind. And waiting anxiously for us to get home, I've missed everyone; my family, my friends and that consist of only Nate since Tricia was with me all this while, although we don't get to see each other often but we did sometimes, which are when Vince wants us to.I didn't really gave it much thought, since we were on our honeymoon and it was supposed to be only the two of us, no friends or family but I'm glad Tricia came along.Then again I miss school and most importantly for some reason I miss Marco more than anyone and anything, and I cannot wait to see him as if he's a part of me.

Melanie’s POVI clocked out and ran to change out of my scrubs, ignoring the numerous eyes that were on me. Some were staring at me with approval but most of them had looks of jealousy and envy, like I somehow stole what belonged to them.Well, that was none of my business. The fact was, Adriano is my man and they can look all they want but can't have him. So that was one way to look at it. Besides, I wasn't a stranger to being stared at.I changed out of my regular clothes and when I got out. She was glaring at daggers at me but there was no mistaking the envy in her eyes when she saw, Adriano earlier.I smiled at her. Take that you petty, conniving, bitch. Yes, you can think you're all that and try to take away surgeries from me but you'll never have my man.I got to the nurses’ station, half expecting to meet, Hayley alone but to my surprise, she was engrossed in a conversation with, Adriano and they were laughing.

Melanie’s POV“Ugh… you guys are so cute it’s disgusting,” Aria said, once again interrupting our moment.“Shut up, Ari!” Adriano barked at her.“Whatever, I’m going to be with, Alice in the kitchen so wrap this up because we’re all having dinner together and I don’t want you making googly eyes at each other at the dinner table,” she said.“You still haven’t said it, Melanie,” Adriano said when we were finally alone. “I need to hear you say it.”“You need to hear me call you, baby?” He nodded. “Yes, I do because you’re mine and I’m yours. Every part of me belongs to you. So I’m your baby and it feels fucking good to hear you admit it.”I would have laughed if he wasn't being incredibly sweet. A grown-ass man was happy I called him, baby. Now that was a first.“Still, you shouldn’t have yelled at your sister that way,” I told him."She can handle it besides how do you expect me to let out

Melanie’s POVAdriano and I spent the day watching movies and munching on junk food after he finished the entire jar of cookies I made for him.I’d never seen someone that obsessed with cookies and it’s actually funny to see, Adriano react that way to the cookies.I must admit that it made me feel good that he loved my baking, now it got me wanting to do more. Maybe bake a pie or some muffins. I might start a bit easier and go with brownies instead but we'll see.When we got tired of staying indoors, he suggested we go out for a walk around the grounds and I gladly agreed.I had never really wandered around the house except the insides. I knew that the staff quarters were also in the compound but I'd never been there, and neither do I know how they live over there. It turned out the quarters were an array of bungalows for the staff.That way everyone had their privacy. There was also a large kitchen. Apparently, th

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,”

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
