Sunlight on my face was what woke me up, as it shone through the window, nearly blinding. My eyes snapped open, just for me to close them back. I blinked repeatedly before fully keeping it open.

I heard the sound of steady breathing behind me and rolled over to the other side, facing a sleeping Giovanni. I took in his handsome features; his mouth was slightly open, and his hair was a bit over his face. I smiled at how adorable he looked right now.

I looked down at our tangled legs, with Giovanni’s arm wrapped around my waist. My hand reached up and brushed the hair away from his face. He stirred a little, his hold tightening around my waist.

My lips rounded into a soft smile, and I felt my heart warm, but at the same time, I couldn’t help but feel guilty that this was the most rest he had gotten in two days. Maybe I should just be honest and let him know about the baby.

I thought to myself as my hand found its way over to my tummy, still trying to comprehend the fact that there was a

    I was starting to feel more like myself after a month. My morning sickness persisted, but it was not as bad as it had been at first. My emotions seem to have been slightly elevated, aside from my morning sickness. In particular, I was excessively frustrated—sexually, might I add?—as well as excessively joyful and depressed. It didn’t help that Giovanni had been away on a business trip due to work.But when I turned over on the bed, I was surprised to see the Greek god curled up next to me, and I couldn’t help but admire his beauty and the perfectly sculpted face even in my sleepy state. I reached for him on autopilot, somewhere in the middle of the night, when dawn was still far away and the night's magic was at its thickest. From the depths of my sleep, I reached for him, my palms flat against his muscular abdomen, my hands finding his chest and running over his muscles. Down, to the arch of his back."Roy," Giovanni whispered softly, his eyes wide and intense, pinning me with the

    As I undressed and turned on the shower, the aroma of flowers filled the room and I smiled, humming. My hands made their way slowly down to my stomach as I started washing my skin. Today was the day I finally tell Giovanni about the baby and the fact that we were going to be parents again. Undoubtedly, I was a nervous wreck, but I have made the decision to focus more on the good than the bad. Having a baby is good news; it's not like we were committing any sins or the like. We are both married and insanely in love with each other. Turning off the shower, I wrapped myself in the plush towel and wrapped my hair with another. I brushed my teeth before making my way out of the bathroom.I changed into a beautiful red dress, letting my hair down as it fell down my shoulders. I did a little bit of makeup and was about to put on my shoes when the sound of my phone ringing grabbed my attention.I walked over to where it lay on the bed, picking it up and bringing it to my ear.“Hi,” I call o

    Giovanni's pov.I was going through some documents in the office when I heard a knock and the door swung open. Nick stuck his head in with a cheeky smile on his face."Boo.” He screamed, walking in.Ugh!, Not again." Boo, I have missed you so much." Nick said, taking a seat across from me. He knew how much I hated him calling me that, yet he did it anyway to annoy the hell out of me." Will you stop calling me that?" I grunted out. I thought you were traveling the world. When did you get back?"I got back yesterday. My dad is calling for a family meeting of some sort." He answered nonchalantly. " And about me not calling you boo, it's never going to happen."I rolled my eyes at his childish tactics. I was not in the mood to argue with him because I knew it was going to be fruitless. This wasn't the first time I had asked him to stop calling me that, but Nick is just filled with all kinds of stubbornness." How is Roy and my favourite godson, doing?" Nick asked, playing around with th

And yet here I was, for reasons I knew very well but chose to ignore.Taking a gulp of my drink, I scan the hall tonight, ignoring the looks and attention I was getting, mostly from women.

    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.

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.

    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.

    " 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
