HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER THIRTEEN
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.
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER FOURTEEN
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
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER FIFTEEN
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. Yes, he was handsome and all, but he wasn’t the one who had my heart racing or an igniting feeling I didn’t know it was possible to have.Since we had only met a few hours ago, it didn’t feel right to share my personal life with someone I barely knew.After spending an hour and a half just talking about nothi
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER SIXTEEN
When I woke up the next morning, I felt disheartened about what had happened last night or yesterday in general.I could understand Giovanni's reason for being pissed and the fact that he had been worried not just about my safety but Alexander’s feelings as well.Carolyn was right; despite the fact that I was free to do whatever I wanted, I should have let him know where I was going.But this day all I feel is frustration and anger; still, it was not enough of an excuse to act the way I did yesterday.Pulling myself out of bed, I made my way to the bathroom to freshen up for the day before changing into a clean sweatshirt and joggers. My hair was tied up in a bun, and my face was bare of makeup as I made my way out of the room, heading downstairs.My footstep halted when I caught sight of Giovanni's, who was making his way to the front door. He was all dressed up and ready for the day.His gaze turned to look at me, resting on my face for a brief moment. The way his features smoothed
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
I stared at myself in the mirror for one last time before I pulled in a deep breath and smoothed out my dress. Picking up my golden clutch, I left my room and descended the stairs, knowing Giovanni and Alexander must've been waiting on me.It was all stares and no words where Giovanni was concerned over the past few days, and i simply found it frustrating.As my hands slid down the polished stair rails, I spotted Giovanni coming from a room while he adjusted Alexander’s cuff links.Our gazes held, and I held my breath when I noticed the look in his eyes. Eyes that later explored the slender length of my bodyWhen I was at the foot of the stairs, he approached me, his movements seemingly stiff, before he finally stood before me, his gaze searching my flawless face, which was more beautiful with the subtle makeup I wore.I had my hair pinned, with a few loose tendrils that lingered on the column of my slender neck, and I watched him check me out, like he was studying every inch of me.G
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Royalty’s PovGiovanni and I conversation still lingered at the back of my head. It was understandable that he wishes for us to have a stable relationship were not for anyone but for Alexander. To which I honestly agree.Despite not knowing Alexander for long, I had grown to adore him. I mean, who wouldn’t? He was just a little cutie; it was impossible not to love him. And also, I felt like I was taking it out on Giovanni, my anger and frustration, when he wasn’t partially at fault. Instead of trying to build a stable friendship relationship, I tried pulling back, which only resulted in more strain in our relationship.That was why I decided to just go with the flow of everything; I mean, we were already married. It was not like there was anything I could do about it. It would be beneficial for not just me but for him as well if we could both be civil with each other.Letting out three deep breaths, I glance at the mirror, taking in my appearance. My hair was tied up in a ponytail, an
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER NINETEEN
Giovanni came home early tonight, just in time for dinner. I was in the kitchen helping Carolyn prepare the food when he walked in. He had a look of surprise when he saw me chopping off the vegetables, which was soon replaced with an amused look, and I had to fight back the urge to roll my eyes at this.I might not be a decent cook, but I am very certain I know my way around the kitchen. At least I think I do, maybe with a bit of assistance. But still, more than enough to make something tangible or chop off vegetables and the like.“ Gio.” Carolyn called in a form of greeting as he walked over to her, placing a kiss on the side of her forehead."Good evening.” I muttered, expecting to get a greeting back from him, but was surprised when he leaned down to peck my forehead.I felt the butterfly swim underneath my stomach at the feel of his lips on my skin, and though I knew we were only putting on an act, I couldn’t help but feel giddy.I tried not to blush, turning away from Carolyn's
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER TWENTY
Today I was planning on spending my day with Vicky. We both have been so caught up with our daily lives that we haven’t actually gotten the chance to hang out like we used to, and I sure did miss our time together.I was dressed in a trench coat dress, pairing it with glossy spiked red kitten heels and a matching bag. My hair was tied to the back with two strands on each side of my face, and the makeup on my face was always minimal.When I made my way downstairs, I spotted Giovanni and Alexander, both having their breakfast. Alexander seemed to be in a little world of his own, while Giovanni’s head shoot up at my presence. He gave me an overall look but didn’t say anything."I was thinking of hanging out with Vicky today; we plan on having a little girl’s out, if that is okay with you.” I asked, taking my seat at the dining table."You know you don’t need my permission; you aren’t locked up here.”"I'm well aware of that. It’s not like you could keep me here even if you wanted to.” I

A year later, they gave birth to their beautiful baby girl, Cassidy. Five years ago, she gave birth to their youngest child, Ace.Ariella. Giovanni's mom also found a man of her own, which was kind of weird at first.

Giovanni had no other option than to agree, giving his blessing to his mom and Lorenzo , Ariella’s husband.Since Lorenzo has children of his own, a boy and a girl, Giovanni had gained siblings and was protectiv
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER EIGHTY
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
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER SEVENTY NINE
" 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
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT
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
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX
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
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR
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
HIS DEEPEST DESIRE CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE
The heavens!.Giovanni Reeves was even hotter than I remembered him to be.I mean, he’s always had good looks. He’s tall and dark, and he’s quiet in a way that makes him seem intriguing—like he’s got a lot of mysterious things buried inside, just waiting to be released.I’ve always wanted to be the person he shares his hidden thoughts with. That would be such a privilege.I still yearn for that privilege now.He’s older now, obviously. He was eighteen and fresh out of high school the last time I saw him, which had been five years ago. And now seeing him again stirs my heart in a way I never knew possible.I can’t pinpoint exactly which parts of his face have changed because he looks exactly the way he always has, and yet he somehow appears different. More mature. More dignified.His voice has grown deeper, as I realised as I watched him greet a couple of friends.He definitely looks like he belongs under the spotlight, with his solid figure, his strong jaw, and his high cheekbones.Bu
