It was finally time for me to go in as the song, "Can't Help Falling in Love with You," was played. I locked my hands with my father before we marched down the aisle with my face down.

Unknowingly, I clenched tighter into my dad's arm and only when I felt his warm hand on mine did I look at his side and realize what happened.

After whispering " I love you" and hugging me once more, I was handed over to my husband.

I had been avoiding any form of contact with him, but when I finally looked at him, I did a double take. I was beyond stunned.

Victoria's description did him no justice. He had the most intense blue eyes that I had ever seen and a firm jawline. His chest gave a new definition to broad and his suit fitted him perfectly in every area, and for a moment I wondered how he looked without a shirt.

He was beautiful.

I know it sounds weird when you call a man beautiful, but I was at a loss for words to describe him.

I gave him a small smile, but instead I was met with his emotionles

Son? That surprises me. I was unaware that Giovanni had one. From what Vicki told me about Giovanni, I recall that neither she nor my parents or his mother mentioned having a son. That is very unusual to me.“ I requested that your parents and my mother not tell you.” He added, as if he knew what was going through my head, "I wanted to be one to tell you.”Why didn't they inform me about something this crucial? Instead, I started by asking, "Is he back now?"Giovanni nods. “ Yes, and he is extremely pleased to meet you”.Due to the fact that I will be residing with them, I made

He tilt his head as his smirk stretched. “ What....” I could see the amusement in his face and could tell he takes pleasure in seeing me become irritable. “ Yesterday was an exception, "I see no reason why we shouldn't share a room since we are husband and wife."“ Well bravo to you, you know how to crack a joke.

    Although irritated, I still followed her. I still wasn't prepared to deal with that haughty, domineering man, but I was terribly hungry and I needed food like now. When we arrived at the dining room, Giovanni was already there with Alexander. When he notices me, the boy's face cheers up and a broad smile begins to form on his lips and my mood is somehow lifted by the sight. I gave Alexander a gentle smile and sat down next to him with Giovanni sitting across from me who appeared upset about our brief argument earlier today.Suddenly, i feel a resurgence of my anger. What precisely did he anticipate? Despite the fact that we are married, I cannot just share the same room as him. It's best to ignore him. I think to myself, letting out a sigh.Our dinner, fried pasta with chicken, was served by a maid and i was unable to help but drool at the sight of the meal because it was so delectable, which may also serve as a diversion from Giovanni.We three sat down to dine in silence until Giova

    Vicki called to cancel, so our plan fell through. Apparently, something came up with her secret boyfriend whom she refused to tell me about and I didn't have time to question her about it. So we decided to catch up another time.Since I was essentially jobless, I spent my time going around Facebook and Instagram, watching amusing Instagram videos to pass the time, but I ended up dozing off in the process.The soft knocking on the door jolted me out of my sleep. "Roy, may I enter?" From the other side of the door, Alexander's voice could be heard." Come in," I said, sitting up on my bed and the door opened with Alexander walking in."Hey, little man.""Hi Roy," he said, climbing onto the bed to sit beside me.“ How was school today?""It was fine, we had outdoor activities today, so we went to the park," he said excitedly." Really, did you enjoy yourself?" I said in a cheerful voice and he nods.“ I had a lot of fun. I love school. "" I also did like going to school but I doubt not

    Something heavy was constricting me, causing me to open my eyes and be welcomed by the beautiful features of Giovanni’s face close to mine. When I looked down, I noticed that his hand was on my waist, mine on his too, his foot crossed over mine, and his front touched mine.His body was so close to mine that there was no room between us, and my cheek started to warm up at this.Then, as fast as these giddy feelings hit me, they were gone.Wait a freaking minute! Why am I here?Alexander and I were both sleeping off on the couch in the cinema room, so how did I get here? I couldn’t possibly walk to his room because that would be so embarrassing.My breath hitched, and I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt Giovanni's hand start to move around my body. My eyes widen, and I turn to peek at him and discover that he is still asleep.His hand was perilously close to mine tits, then he did it, cupping my breast and began caressing it. I bit my lower lip and groaned. It didn’t help that I w

    The walk from Giovanni's to the main street of the estate had been a great distance, since his house was the only one that stood in that vicinity, despite this being an affluent neighbourhood.I walked for over thirty minutes before I was able to see other houses and sights, touring the neighbourhood and taking in the beautiful sights. I wasn’t sure for how long I had walked around the area, but after a while, I settled at a park, watching as little children played around with each other, and a smile slowly began making its way up my lips.The sight of it was amazing, making me think about...Okay, snap out of it, Royalty. Right now isn’t the time.I stayed in the park for another hour or two before making my way to the cafe for some coffee and a snack before returning home.Walking into the cafe I had first seen, I let out a sigh, noting how nice it was coming out of the scorching sun. Despite having enjoyed coming out of the house, I was beyond tired; it isn’t easy walking on heels.

    Giovanni’s Pov"Where the hell is she?" I stared down at my phone, dialling Royalty number again, only to get the same response I have been getting for nearly thirty minutes about the number not being reachable.I crushed the phone in my hand; the anger in me intensified, as did the worry. It was nine in the evening, and there was no sight of her. According to what Carolyn had told me, she had gone out in the late hours of the morning, saying she wanted to check out the neighbourhood, and was going to be back before evening.It was way past the time she had promised to return, and I was pissed at the fact that I wasn’t informed of her leaving the house until this evening, when Carolyn had called me, saying frantically about her disappearance. I had been on my way to Japan for a business trip but had to put it away as I raced out of the airport, coming back home as fast as I could.Damn it.Where the hell is she? Is she safe? Did something happen to her?All these questions are runn

    Royalty’s Pov.Enzo and I had spent the hour and a half getting to know each other, and I must say it had been really nice. After I had bought him a drink, we both made our way back to the park, and we spent the rest of the hour that he had free from work talking.We didn’t really go into our personal details, but we did have a reasonable civil conversation. I know for a fact that he was a lawyer, owned his own firm, and worked for top-notch clients. He was 26 years old and the only son in a family of two girls.I told him a bit about myself as well, skipping the part about who my family was or the fact that I was married. This had nothing to do with my taking an interest in him.

    It's been a week since the baby shower and gender reveal party. Giovanni has been AWOL, always disappearing every single time I set my eyes on him. He wakes up before me and comes back after I have gone to sleep. I didn't know what to think about it and thought of confronting him, but all he said was "I need you to follow me somewhere this evening. Dress formally" before leaving the room.I didn't want to think much about his secretive behaviour, but that didn't stop my mind from running wild. Was it because I had added weight and I didn't look as sexy as I was for him?sighed.!I got up from bed to get ready. I walked to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and immediately hopped in. I had an hour and thirty minutes to get ready.I walked back inside the room once I was done showering and dried off my hair and body. I walked into the closet to look for a dress, shoes, and other necessities, keeping them safely before taking my seat in front of the mirror to have my makeup done.I did

    " It's time for your hair and makeup." Vicky said in a song-song voice. I walked into the room with a group of makeup artists.I don't know what she was up to. I haven't left the room since the morning because they won't let me. It's been a week since she came over to visit, and we have been hanging out a lot lately. She and Alexander helped keep me company whenever Giovanni wasn't around.But today I had no idea what was going on. When I woke up this morning, Giovanni's side of the bed was empty, and before I could step out of the room, I saw Alfred standing outside the door. He refused to let me pass, saying he was ordered to keep me inside the room for a few hours, which turned into a whole day because it was five in the evening.Anything I needed, be it breakfast or lunch, was brought up here by a maid. I tried calling Giovanni, but he wouldn't pick up any of my calls, and now Vicky was trying to set me up. But for what exactly?" What is going on?" I asked. Vicky shrugged, not re

    The water trickled down my hair to my shoulders and back in the same manner. I washed away the vanilla scented soap off my hair as it stuck to my body. After turning the water off, I stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my body. Things have been going smoothly for a month since I was discharged from the hospital.I stand in front of the mirror, wiping off the fog from it to get a better look at my reflection. I looked at the tiny, hardly visible scar on my forehead andYou could hardly see it except if you were close to me, and my hair plays a major part in covering it up.I walked out of the bathroom and to the closet, looking for a comfortable shirt to put on. It was in the afternoon, and I had already had my lunch. After dressing up, I walked out of the closet to the bed to lie on it. I took out my phone and went through my message box, replying to the messages sent by my mom and brother.I chatted with my mom for some time before she went offline since she had to

    Royalty's Pov.My head was aching, and my ears were ringing. I started to move my head slowly. It was still a pain to move. I could hear the voices of someone talking, but not too clearly. I opened my eyes just to shut them back down due to the sun sipping in. I took in a deep breath before opening it again, looking around the room, trying to figure out where I was.The image of the accident replayed in my head. I immediately placed my hand on my tummy. I looked to my side to see Giovanni's familiar dark hair, which seemed to have grown on the bed beside me, while his body was on a chair. He looked fast asleep.I moved my hand slowly, lifting it up to his hair, running my fingers through it, and he groaned in satisfaction." Giovanni," I said, but it was barely a whisper, making it difficult for him to hear. I used my tongue to wet my dried lips before trying again. " Giovanni."His head snapped up so fast, I was surprised it was still attached to his neck. His eyes showed how shocked

    2015- Feb-7ROY'S POV“Are we there yet?” I ask again for the thousands of hours while still taking in the scenery.Giovanni chuckles at my question, amused by my curiosity. “ Almost.” He says he is still not going into details as to where he was taking me.He had only told me he wanted to show me something but wouldn’t tell me what it was, despite the fact that we had been driving for at least two hours.We travelled further until we arrived in front of a mansion. The view was breath-taking. I couldn’t stop gazing at the castle-like estate as we pulled up to the house and entered the foyer. We both got out of the car, making our way into the house, and I was once again blown away by the view of the living room. It was beyond lovely. Floor-to-ceiling windows were present. The fireplace and the wall both convey grandeur.“Why are we here?” I ask before I get carried away by my own fantasy.I notice the wooden floor planks have been arranged in a herringbone pattern, which gives the wh

    2014-August-23My eyes flutter up, straining at the door, when I notice a shadow lurking outside of it. I got up with a start, wondering if someone had broken in. My parents aren’t at home, and my brother was over at his girlfriend’s place, leaving me alone.Well, not technically alone, since the house was crowded with securities, which was all the more reason to be frightened. How had this person passed through the securities and gotten right at my door?Looking around, I picked up the lamp from beside the bed, slowly making my way to my door, but before I got there, the door knob twisted, and the door opened. I saw a figure walking in and was about to let out a scream when I was able to make out who it was standing in front of me. Giovanni.What is he doing here?How did he get in?“I’m guessing that is for me.” A deep voice asks as the door clicks shut.Since our little escape at the party a month ago, we haven’t spoken much, although he always acknowledges me when we pass each ot

    Standing enthralled with the man in front of me once more, I could not resist his allure and pull. I stood there admiring his broad shoulders and his back to me.The shirt he had on was snug across his broad back as he leans down and rests his forearms on the stone balustrade in the little walk-way path. There is a white cloud of cigarette smoke that rises and is carried away by the wind, but some of it hangs around him, seemingly unwilling to go.I could spend the entire night watching his back, but now is the moment to act. That’s what I’m here for. I can't back down now. I move in closer, making a loud sound as my heels strike the grey slate flooring. My legs feel unsteady, and my heart is pounding almost as loudly. However, I am capable of doing this.I just wanted to say hello. It is not that critical. I force myself to swallow my anxiety and say the first thing that occurs to me, understanding that I need a reason to be here in the first place. "Hello," I murmur. “Can you spa
