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

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.

If I was scared of what this meeting was about, it save to tell you. I am paralyzed. These words didn't come that much of a shock to me. I kept telling myself the possibility of him kicking me out of the company. "But....." I held Mrs. Rose's hand stopped from pleading on my behalf. I might not be rich, and as much as I need this job to support my mom with our expenses. I have my pride too, a pride I need to keep intact. I refuse to bow down to a low-brainer guy for kicking me out of his company over our past. I was no longer the teenage push-over girl I was once upon a time.

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
