Vincenzo p.o.vEverywhere went silent, it's was deadly silent as nobody had expected Vince to kill someone outside the duel. It's a clear challenge, clear as daylight.Vincenzo has always been a reasonable man, however, when someone crosses the line. The ruthless predator came out and nothing was going to stop the catastrophe from happeningNikolai boiled in pure rage as he watched one of his own drop dead, he wasn't expecting Vincenzo to make such move. But what he didn't know was that, Vincenzo would not tolerate anyone who lay their hands on his woman. It's was a clear death mission, which Vincenzo didn't fail to give the guy that hurt his woman.Ava gasped in shock, this is the second time Vincenzo has killed someone in her present, it's only fair that she's still not used to such things."We need to get you cover because we're about to get down to business." Dante grinned, the excitement and eagerness was clearly displayed on his face. Like he has been starved of his favorite mea
Ava p.o.vI wake up, well my subconscious mind did. I couldn't open my eyes, neither can I move my body, not even my fingers. I felt someone holding my hand tightly, not too tight that it becomes painfully, but gently tight. It was as if the person wanted some assurance, or was trying to give me some assurance.From the grip and the fingers, I know the owner of the hand is a female, hopefully, Mom. I really wanted to open my eyes now, to see whoever was here with me, but since my limbs wouldn't cooperate with me, I can only remain still.The door open and closed, and two more people came in, they stopped at the foot of my bed. "Why isn't she awake yet." It was Vince, I can recognize his voice in any situation. Only this time, his tone was dark. Like he was barely hang on, I can't see his face but I know he must be wearing a deep frown on his face."She will wake up when her body allows her to, the body still needs time to heal." The other person who I'm assuming is a doctor replied,
Ava p.o.vIt's been almost a week now, a week of torturing and pain, up till now I'm still unable to digest or even accept the fact that I'm no longer pregnant.It was like a dream, some bad dream, nightmare even, and I wan to wake up so badly, sadly, it's all reality and I'm wide awake.I blame myself for it, even if everyone says it's not my fault, deep down I know it was my fault. If I had heed to Vince strict warning not to leave the house, this wouldn't have happened.I remember when I had woke up again after the unbearable news, the pain was worst then before because now, it is not about the physical pain anymore. It's was much more than that, it's an emotional pain, one simply I can't get over.I had woke for the second time, unfortunately, the room was flooded with sunlight from the windows. And the room was filled up with my family, except one person.I was relieved and sad at the same time, relieved, because I didn't have to face him right away. Sad, I also wanted him here,
Ava p.o.vThe car came to a stop in front of the mansion, our personal mansion, which by the way isn't that personal anymore since everyone seems to have a room in it. The mansion have enough rooms to accommodate everyone, so why not, I shrug.I alight from the car, pausing and gazing at the house before me, the afternoon sun shining on it, almost blinding. I sighed, it's being a long time since I was here, when I left with Kara, I didn't expect it will take this long for me to come back.But all in all, I'm happy to be back, excitement burns through my veins down to my feet. Urging me to go in but I was suddenly reluctant, I sigh again remembering the situation I'm in and what's waiting for me inside the beautiful mansion.Both my mother and mother-in-law came to my side, Mom held my hand and gave an encouraging squeeze."Vincenzo is aware you are coming home today, he must be waiting for you right now." Mrs Alfonso said patting my back gently."Of course." I scoffed, he must be wait
Ava p.o.vTime, like I've heard waits for nobody, and this I've learnt a hard way. Waiting for someone to acknowledge you, is much more hurtful than any other physical wounds.Especially, waiting on someone you hold dear to your heart, it's like thousands of broken bottle stabbing at your heart and leaving you breathless on each stab.I was told to give him some time and space, even, I wanted to give him time to come to me and open up to me. But I know better now, realization has down on me that Vince isn't going to make any effort.It's been a month, a whole freaking month of this distance, hoping and waiting. It has been terrible, sometimes I don't get to see him for days. like right now, he's out of town for a business trip, which I found out from Lucas.Lucas is now a means of our communication, it's either he's passing Vince message to me or my message to Vince. But it has always be Vince sending messages to me, I didn't bother sending any message to him because what I have to sa
Ava p.o.vI stare at him dumbstruck, I couldn't believe my ears, heck I didn't even want to believe what just came out of his mouth.You know how they say, you get struck by lightning and then everything began to fade away, you could hear your heartbeat accelerating with each breath. Yeah! That's how I'm feeling right now."What? Are you for real." I muttered, hearing my words, one would think that I'm happy about the divorce. But it the complete opposite, my insides burns with anger, I clenched my fist in attempt to control my temper.I hardly ever get angry but when I do, like my brother always says, even the devil runs to take cover. The room felt like it was closing in around me.In my mind, I was growing larger and larger, expanding with rage, if I didn't do something to get myself under control, I'd explode.If I'm one of those disney cartoon characters, smoke will be zoning out of my ears and nose.Vince nod, not bothering to use his words, is he been foolish, or is it me actin
Ava p.o.vThree years later.I woke up with a dormat pain wrapped around my abdomen, I groan knowing I have to deal with it for some moment. The first time I felt this kind of pain, I freaked out. I thought I was losing this baby as well, I alarmed Vince foolishly thinking he could give me some reassurance, but that man freaked out more than I did. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Baby I'm so sorry, tell me what should I do." I couldn't resist laughing at the memory.We went to the hospital and our doctor confirm it's was normal to feel such pains, as I was close to my due date. I still remembered Vince disturbed face, he made himself clear that he doesn't like the fact that I have to be in pains, and ask the doctor if he can stop the pain.He cursed at himself when the doctor told him No. Vince made it his mission to be personal bodyguard and Nanny, he's around me everytime and everywhere, his figure looming over me like a shadow. I thought I was going to hate his overprotectiveness, but surpri
Ava p.o.vEleven years later.The door burst open with force, followed by a couple of footsteps, then the door slammed shot with an alarming forced. The resounding sound bounced off the walls, I wasn't startled but others in the kitchen were, especially the kids.Luciano, who was playing a video game on his tablet. Camila, who was flipping through some fashion magazine, she's going to be the fashion icon in the house and my eight year old daughter, Isabella. Camila and Isabella has grown closed over the years, since Camila can only talk to Isabella about girly stuff.And there is eight year old Marcello, bugging his Mom to give him food, Yeap, he's the foodie. As clichè as it may sound, Tricia and I got pregnant the same year and gave birth the same year as well, but Isabella is just a month older than Marcello.And Aurelio, Valarie and Dante's one year old baby boy, who by the way was sleeping peacefully on his mom's lap before the sudden disturbance. I took a glance over my shoulde
