I didn't bother changing from what I was wearing because it was comfortable to sleep in, it was just one of my big shirts I changed into from the clothes Rodrigo brought for me. I drew the blanket up my body because for some reason it was very cold tonight and I knew it had everything to do with the fact that this was a beach house. I didn't turn off the lights because I find it hard to see at night so I leave the lights on so I can find my way to the bathroom, shit could get bad at night with my bad eyes. I couldn't sleep, I just kept staring at the ceiling. There was no way in hell I was missing that man. I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. The only thing I'm worried about is because I didn't want to be accused of anything in case something happens to him. I was still trying to sleep when suddenly, the lights went off and I jumped, quickly sitting up in bed. What the hell was that? What type of stupid Halloween stunt is Antonio trying to play on me? This
Antonio was rushed to the hospital by helicopter. I've never been so confused about a situation like I was at that moment. One minute he was being a total asshole annoying the hell out of me and getting on my nerves and then the next minute he was scaring the shit out of me. You know I didn't take him seriously at first because I thought it was one of his crazy pranks not until I saw that he could barely stand. I forgot I didn't like him and was running around like crazy until help came. “ He's doing okay now, you don't have to look so worried," I heard Leo say as he handed me a cup of coffee.“ Who said I was worried? He claims to be a big man so I knew he would be fine," I said and he hummed," There's something I'd like to ask you,” I suddenly said as Leo turned to me with a raised brow." And what would that be?” He asked," What happened to his legs, I mean not now like in general, why he couldn't walk back then in school?” I asked," I don't think I should be the one to answer
FlashbackIt was Valentine's Day and the school was hosting a pool party for all the students. I didn't want to go to the party but somehow my Mom convinced me to go. She knew I couldn't swim but she told me that I should go, that I should interact with people and make new friends.She really didn't know about all the bullying going on in school because I never told her. I told her the only reason I'd go is if she didn't send any bodyguard to go with me. At first she didn't like the idea but since that was the only condition I gave her that would make me go, she accepted.Leo was there to help me if I needed anything, he was always there.The driver drove me to school as he helped me out of the car and Leo was already waiting for me as he waved at my driver before he started wheeling me to the pool where the other students of our class were. I was nervous, I knew they were going to tease me about coming for a pool party when I couldn't even swim.We reached the pool area and just as
“ But you didn't die Antonio, someone was kind enough to save you before I came. If you can also remember, that day, I found you wet on the floor, maybe she must have asked them to bring you out, I don't think her intention was to kill you," he said and I scoffed. “ Can you listen to yourself? Sometimes I wonder if you're my friend or you're trying to get on her good side, what are you saying? That it's fun to play with someone's life? Whether they helped me out or not she shouldn't have sent someone to push me into the pool in the first place, she had it in mind to kill me. So please whatever I'm doing don't judge me, if you keep this up I'll stop telling you things," I said and he raised his hands up in surrender. “ Fine," he said with a shake of his head. " I'm not going to kill her, so you don't have to worry about me going to prison, I only plan on making her suffer for all the things she has done, that's all, it's just pay back,” I said. ....“By the way, I'm going to kee
“But that doesn't give anything away,” my mom said, looking at Lilly in confusion." Come on, we want you all to anticipate. That's why I decided to give you a hint that I have a special gift for you, it's going to be a surprise, so I can't tell you now,” Lilly said and her Mom chuckled." That's my daughter for you, she sure knows how to keep one in suspense,” her mother said with a laugh. " Yeah, I sure do,” she said as she turned to look at me as if saying ‘ this wasn't over, it's just getting started,’" Then I'd wait,” my mom said with a smile." I'm sorry but we have to get going, we have things to take care of,” Anna's father said and her mother nodded." We hope you recover quickly," her mom said as she squeezed my hand.“ Thank you, thank you for coming to see me,” " It's okay, you're our son now, so it's our responsibility to take care of you,” her mother said and I nodded in appreciation before they hugged my parents.“ Take care," Lilly's mother whispered as she touched
“Can you come again?” I asked and she chuckled as she brought her hand to my chest but I stopped her again. " I know your mom and one thing I've noticed about her is that family means a lot to her, she would be ecstatic to know that I plan on giving her a grandchild, wouldn't that be…” I didn't let her finish. I wrapped my hands around her neck but she just smirked looking at me like she didn't mind my hand around her neck and that made me disgusted. " That will never happen, even if I eventually give my mom a grandchild it wouldn't be from a woman like you," I said and the stupid smirk on her face just broadened and I pulled my hand away.“ Okay husband," she said before she got up from the bed.“ You know, I really bought your act until I heard you talking. I was tired of seeing your fucking face too and standing your annoying attitude, so either ways it's a win for me." she said as she looked at me with a smile.She knew all along.“ Get well soon pretender, we've got a baby or s
' There's no fucking way you expect me to sleep here, this looks like a fucking store room…with cheap things, no way is this gonna work," I said as I looked at the room that looked like everything in it was picked from trash.The bedsheets looked like something out of a horror movie, the bed looked like something a teenager would sleep on, I'd be so uncomfortable on that damn bed.“ You don't have a choice, this is the only room for you,” he said as I turned to him with a glare.“ The only person this room is fit for is you and not me because you're a fucking piece of shit,” I said as I walked away from him to go look for other rooms because there was no way I'll stay in that disaster he calls a room. I walked to a door and tried opening it but it was locked. I turned to him in anger before moving to the next and then I tried opening and it was also locked. “ You're the sickest person I've ever seen, you can fucking cook your house and eat it,” I snared before walking away without s
Leo's words hung in the air, heavy and unshakable.“ She's back," he repeated, watching me carefully. I didn't need to ask who he meant; there was only one woman I know who neither Leo nor me wanted to see. A woman I'd once had to force out of my life—someone who didn't know when to let go. “ What does she want this time?" I asked with a sigh as I dropped the laptop I was holding and got up from bed. “ I don't know but whatever brought her back we both know it's not for good, Alessia knows nothing except causing trouble. Especially with her stupid obsession with you.” Leo said,“ I'm married, she should get over it and leave me the fuck alone," I said,“ That's the more reason she's mad, you know how she can be, soon enough she's going to start spreading lies about how you were supposed to marry her instead. I wish I could just bundle her and take her back to where she came from." Leo said, his voice an edge of anger and disgust. “ I don't care what she thinks about my marriage, I
