I'm worried about what must be going on in Vince mind.why is he so silent.My eyes averted to anywhere but his face, I fear that what I might see on his face would force me to spill out the truth. I squirm under his heated gaze, he didn't bought my lie. I can feel it in his stare."Lies!" He finally spoke, breaking the tense air and confirming my thoughts. "You're lying." He spoke confidently. It's was as if he can tell that I'm truly lying.His eyes are dark and daring, challenging me to deny it. He grip the sink with both hands caging me in his space. I have to come up with something to convince him that I'm not lying, or he will suggest taking me to his doctor and I loathe that."I'm not.....""Don't! Don't you dare lie to my face." He snapped interrupting me. I would be lying if I say I'm not scared right now, I want to tell him I'm pregnant but something seems to be stoppin

Ava p.o.vI came out the hospital into the cool evening breeze, causing a chill to run down my spine. I braced myself and rubbing my palms over my arms trying to get rid of the shivers, I'm suddenly feeling cold but it's nothing I can't handle.I needed to be alone.To absorb my current situation, I have to think through everything and to be able to do that I have to alone and not under any pressure.But the heavy and quick footsteps sounding from behind me tells me otherwise. I sighed irritated, why must he follow me. Why can't he just leave me be, I need a few hours alone but with a overbearing and hard head husband like Vince I can't have that luxury.I know I've been away from him for some days, and although it's was against his wish, he still gave me space but not anymore. He won't rest until I give up run back into his ever waiting arms."Leave me alone." I hissed at him as he pulled me by my arms, he turned me to face him. I look away refusing to look at him, I struggle to free

Ava p.o.vDuring the ride home I couldn't process anything, my mind has completely gone blank. I couldn't even breath properly, I was finding it hard to digest the fact that Marco is missing and probably in danger with whoever took him.Why him, I asked myself blinking back my tears, He's just a kid for heaven's sake, I couldn't even begin to imagine how scared, confused and sad he most be feeling right now. He must be shivering in fear and curled up in a corner scared out his mind seeing so many unfamiliar faces armed with dangerous weapons around him.The deep and silent growl that vibrated from beside me had me turning to Vince, he had a calm expression on his face. But his tense shoulders and his fist clenching on the steering were what gave him away.Although, I couldn't see his eyes since his gaze his focused was on the road, driving with incredible speed that has my heart leaping out of my chest. I know his eyes would be fill with different emotions.He doesn't want me to see

Ava p.o.vOnce inside our room, Vince slammed the door shut with unnecessary force. I flinch from the impact, I gulp fearfully as Vince angrily pace the room. I wonder if he's angry at Kara or just angry about the situation we are in.I wait patiently for him to calm down, he took a few deep calming breaths. Stalk towards me, stopping an inch in front of me and pulling me into his arms. I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck, resting my head on his solid chest listening to his heart beating rapidly."You're the only one keeping me sane." Vince buried his face in my neck, sniffing on my neck. I run my hand on the back of his head in attempt to provide some sort of comfort, and reassurance that everything will be alright."Seeing both you and the baby safe is what's keeping my sanity, and I want it to be that way." He pulled back a little, looking me in the eyes before pulling me into a heart wrenching kiss. I quickly return his kiss, putting all my emotions into the kiss as much as

The phone is right in front of us on the bed, but I didn't have the courage to pick it up and check what was sent.We both stare at it for a few minutes before Kara had the courage to pick the phone."Cooper fleid" Kara read out. I inhale audibly, not out all relief with the information because it's a signal for us to leave. And fall straight into his trap, I know this is all a set up and it's very dangerous but I have to take this risk.Maybe it will buy us some time for Vince to come to our rescue, even then I can't sit still and wait for Vince to save us, I might as well plan our escape.Having gotten some courage, I took the phone from Kara in time just as another message came in.

I gasped, I suddenly felt drained, all the adrenaline disappear leaving extremely exhausted.

For a moment I forgot you are pregnant." Kara exclaimed in fear, there confusion and fear in her voice. Even I am scared too, I don't want anything bad to happen to my baby."Me too." I have also forgotten that I am pregnant, damn Vince for putting me in the situation he could have waited for at least a year before having a baby.

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

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.

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,”
