2021-09-16 11:49:15Siena’s breath caught in her throat as Alfonso abruptly held her waist tightly. Her heart pumped even faster. She could see the desire gleaming in Alfonso’s eyes, especially when he whispered in her ear, “Cherry, it’s time to give me my prize….”
“Alf…!”
Siena pushed Alfonso’s chest away with her hands, but to no avail. Alfonso was much stronger and alert, not to be compared with the jerk teasing her in Dubai’s night club who could be struck down by her easily.
Alfonso chuckled mockingly. “Let’s see if you can smack me down, Cherry….” Somehow he knew what Siena was thinking!
“Alf, let me go!” Siena tried to pull her body away from him.
“Or maybe I’ll smack you down instead? To my bed?”
The next second, Alfonso’s hands m

Siena felt her heart beat faster as the pilot of their plane informed they were going to touch down less than ten minutes. The city of Siena did not have an airport, thus they would have to land on Florence first, the neighboring city, and then continued by bus or train to Siena city.Alfonso held her right hand as if understanding her feeling. “You’re not alone, I’m here…,” he spoke with a reassuring smile on his face.Siena wondered if Alfonso could read her mind, because he seemed to know everything about her. But she certainly needed that smile, that touch of his hands. And above all, she needed him by her side.“As far as I know, Siena is a fantastic city, full of artwork and cultural heritage.” Siena attempted to counter her nervousness by changing the topic.“Then you’re going to love the city. You and Grandfather are both ar

Because it was late in the afternoon, Alfonso and Siena decided to visit Safe Haven Orphanage the next day. Instead they spent the afternoon by walking around the city center. Walking was indeed the best way to enjoy the magnificence of the medieval architectures of the buildings. As the sun went down, Alfonso suggested that they visit a restaurant serving Italian traditional food.“I want to eat anything but pasta and pizza,” Alfonso said, as they took a seat at the terrace of the restaurant.The weather was cold, dark clouds covered the sky. It would be too bad if it rained tonight. They hadn’t got enough of enjoying the city view.“What if we try this, panzanella? It looks delicious,” Siena suggested, pointing at a picture on the menu.Alfonso’s eyes widened in agreement. “Mmm, of course…. It does look tempting.”

Brian’s eyes were pierced on the blonde woman sitting opposite of him right now. Two days ago, when they met in the lobby of Alfonso’s apartment, Gloria looked miserable like a seriously ill person. But now, she was in a better condition. Her eyes were not swollen anymore. She put on some make-up to cover her pale skin, giving a fresher look on her. “Are you… feeling better?” Brian broke the silence. It had been more than five minutes they sat in silence. Brian could not tell exactly why Gloria came to his apartment this morning. Since their first meet, they exchanged their phone numbers. Then Gloria called him out of the blue this morning, asked for his address, and showed up in front of his apartment door not long after. Heaving a long sigh, Gloria shook her head. “I can’t feel any better if I haven’t met Alfonso.” “Can’t you reach him by phone?” “He ig

Siena squinted her eyes, blinking several times because of the sudden brightness after the black cloth covering her head was taken away. The first thing she saw was two tall and large-built men with black glasses standing in front of her. The first man had a black mustache, while the other was bald-headed. They had to be the men who kidnapped her.“Who are you?!” Her heart was drumming vigorously against her ribcage, but she kept the courage in her voice.The bald-headed man put his index finger on his lips. “Relax, Young Miss…. No need to be afraid.”They had just kidnapped her and asked her to not be afraid? They couldn’t be serious! But two things to her relief, they did not point a pistol at her anymore, and her hands were not tied up.Siena observed the two strangers. They wore long black coats, their skins were tanned, and their faces were both

Carlo’s words kept on ringing in Siena’s ears. The story was indeed similar to her mother’s story all that long ago, how her mother met her father in Gotemba. But did it mean she had to simply trust Carlo?“I don’t even know my father’s name. How can you be so sure… that you do not mistake me for someone else? And how can you expect me to believe in your story?” Siena opened her mouth eventually. Her brain was too flooded with many thoughts. In this situation, denying was a much easier thing to do.“You’re Siena Mori, the daughter of Sakura Mori. When Dad met your mother, she was in her second year of study as a nurse. Then you both moved from Gotemba to Los Angeles while you were just ten years old. You studied journalistic in college, and you worked as a columnist in Angels Daily online media for about two years. You are now twenty four years old.”&nbs

“So you want to meet Dad?” Carlo repeated, sounding enthusiastic. “Yes, I want to meet him…,” was all Siena could say. Carlo seemed to ponder. “Alright…. Actually Dad asked me to meet you first, because he’s extremely nervous. He’s not a man of many words. And he’s worried you might not accept him.” “Let me decide it by myself after I meet him.” Siena strived to talk firmly, though her heart began to beat faster. She did not know what to expect, but enough with Carlo’s story. It was time to face the truth. Carlo gestured for Siena to stand up and follow him. They got out of the room and walked along a corridor with garden on its left and right side. It was dark and she could not see the edge of the garden, but obviously this house was extremely huge and spacious.

Alfonso glared with his fiery eyes as the two men were approaching him. Light from the street lamps above flashed on their faces. They wore long coats and black glasses. Alfonso was suspicious, from the shape of their coat pockets, they might be also carrying pistols. He clenched his fists, his jaw tensed, all his senses were on alert.One of the men with bald head raised his hand and greeted him, “Good evening, Sir. We have been waiting for you. We come here to tell you that Miss Siena Mori is fine. At this moment, she is in a safe place. We’re returning here tomorrow morning to pick you up, and bring you to meet Miss Mori.”‘What did he say?!’ Alfonso cursed inwardly. All his blood boiled at once. ‘Dammit! How dare he talk to me like that, while I have been searching for Cherry everywhere in panic!’“Where is Siena?” Alfonso’s voice was lou

Alfonso thought he heard it wrong. But Siena kept staring at him with a serious expression.“What did you say? Family?”Siena bobbed her head slowly. “Yes, Alf…. I’m sorry I couldn’t call you, because my cellphone was taken by one of them, Pino or Dino,” she continued, pointing her finger at the two men with Alfonso. “They were looking for you to tell you that I was safe. But I never expect it will turn out like this…. Please, Alf, let him go….”For Alfonso, gazing into Siena’s beautiful hazel eyes was one of his weaknesses. Siena was standing in front of his eyes now, what else did he want but to meet her? Slowly he released Pino’s neck from his grip, and put the pistol back into his coat pocket.Pino gasped loudly as he could breathe freely now, while holding his neck looking red entirely.

“What does it mean?” Siena’s brows knotted in confusion. “But today is not my birthday.”Ah, it had to be a code, Siena thought. Alfonso intentionally played a prank on her right on their wedding day!She searched for a pen and started to scribble on the paper. “My birthday is on September 17th. Probably it’s the key to shift the letters. Hmm, let me try.”She wrote down her answer on the paper.HVCPAQFKXDR17917917917ICLQHXGRGEY“That’s odd.

“By the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.”As soon as the pastor finished his sentences, Alfonso took Siena in his arms, caressed her cheeks blushing beautifully with the softest touch, and locked their lips in an affectionate kiss. All the guests were applauding and cheering for them.Everything ran according to Siena’s wish on her very special day. She did not wish for a luxurious party, expensive gifts, or fancy wedding dress like a Disney princess. All she wanted was to exchange their wedding vows faithfully and to have the people she loved around her.Once the wedding ceremony was over, Alfonso and Siena got hugs and kisses from Stefano, Carlo, as well as Irina who came all the way from Melbourne. Suddenly….“Siena Chan! Congratulations!” Who

Alfonso entered the bedroom with his face shining. Siena had changed into her nightgown and sat with her head leaning on the headboard. She turned her gaze at him instantly.“You look happy…. It seems like I don’t have to worry about anything you talked with Dad,” Siena said.Alfonso showed a wide grin on his face. “I have just got a Dad today.”Siena gasped. “Is that true? Dad has asked you to call him Dad?”Alfonso answered with a nod. “Yup!”“Oh, Alf, I’m so happy to hear that!” She opened her arms wide to hug Alfonso.Alfonso took a seat next to her and held her tight. “I can’t imagine I have a complete family now. I have a wife I love the most, a wise father, a freaky

For Alfonso, today had to be one of the most special days in his entire life. He had lost Siena for more than three months, struggling to survive with his broken heart, even enduring his life as if a zombie, his body was alive but his mind and his soul was empty.Those miserable days had passed. Now Siena returned to him. Even more than he dared to imagine, he got Siena back together with their unborn baby!“Don’t you want to eat, Cherry? I haven’t seen you eat anything tonight,” Alfonso spoke, looking worried.Tonight, their engagement party took place in the spacious back yard of the house. De Martini was a renowned and very important noble family in Siena City. No wonder the guests just kept on coming.Alfonso insisted that Siena sit on the sofa inside the gazebo throughout the party. He did not want her

“Good day, Mister Stefano.” Alfonso decided to greet first. “Carlo, Damien….” He nodded to the three of them.Stefano’s gaze fell on Alfonso’s and Siena’s hands holding each other. “Siena, you scared us to death. Did Alfonso hurt you?” Clearly Stefano ignored Alfonso’s greeting on purpose.“No, Dad. Alfonso will never hurt me,” Siena gave a quick reply. “Dad, please let us explain everything.”“I believe everything is as clear as crystal for me. You choose to hurt the heart of a very good man like Damien only to return to a man who has obviously hurt you before,” Stefano retorted in a stern voice.“Dad, it’s my mistake. Alfonso has never hurt me. I knew he had nothing to do with Gloria’s problem, but when he came

It took a moment for Alfonso’s words to sink in Siena’s mind. But all she could do was staring at him with her eyes wide opened and her jaw fell to the floor.“I beg you please don’t marry Damien. I want you to be mine only. Marry me, Cherry…,” Alfonso said it loud and clear, the words warming her heart.“Alf….”“Yes, Cherry?”“Did you realize you just asked me to marry you? In a locked garage where you have just kidnapped me right on the day I’m supposed to get engaged to Damien?”Alfonso seemed to ponder for a moment. “Well…, I could have done something more insane if you want me to. I could appear out of nowhere at your house and shout loudly to prevent Damien from putting the engagement ring on y

“You look as pretty as a picture, Siena,” said Viola, a woman around her forties who was Siena’s make-up artist today.Right now Siena was having her beauty treatment in a professional salon before her engagement party. At first she planned to do her own make-up, but Carlo insisted that she had to look special on this very special day.So she reluctantly went to the salon with Pino driving her here, while Stefano, Carlo, and Damien were preparing for tonight’s party in her house.“Don’t you think… it’s too much for me?” Siena hesitated as she saw her reflection in the mirror, since she never liked overdone make-up and preferred natural one.“Absolutely not. Your make-up is perfect for a very special occasion,” Viola convinced her with a smile.&

As Alfonso drove his car entering the front yard of his house, he felt suspicious seeing a white limousine car was parked at the public garden locating right across the house. Not many people would feel convenient to drive a limousine everywhere since it attracted too much attention. Who was the owner of the car, a Hollywood celebrity looking for attention on purpose?Alfonso strode into the house and came to a halt immediately as he scented an odd smell, the smell that reminded him of something familiar.He hurried his steps, his eyes searching everywhere until he finally saw what he had suspected before. Carlo was sitting in the family room of his house smoking cigar!“I believe it’s time for me to hire some bodyguards to keep my house safe. What do you think you are doing, barging into my house at your pleasure?” Alfonso sounded irritated.

Alfonso got out from his car. His gaze landed on Brian and Gloria sitting next to each other in front of their mobile coffee shop and staring at him with serious expression.“How are you doing, Alfonso?” Gloria greeted first, because Brian just remained silent.“Hi, Gloria. How are you and your baby doing?” Alfonso asked in return, standing in front of them.“We are good, though I feel I’m getting heavier day by day,” Gloria said and tittered at her own joke.“I think you seem more like a fashionable pregnant woman, Gloria,” Alfonso praised, but he glanced over at Brian.He said it only to give his support to Gloria without any intention to flatter. But he knew how possessive Brian could be. And he guessed it right, Brian’s expression cha
