Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 108: Dinner Gone Wrong
A V E L I N AThe food was ready and the table was set. The kids were dressed in their best clothes. It was a formal occasion and the dinner had to be perfect. I wore a red silk dress that clung onto my body perfectly, my hair was tied into a loose bun and I looked presentable enough.Carina was putting on a long peach two piece dress. It was a skirt and crop top ensemble, with her signature stilettos on. She looked beautiful and I was praying that it all worked out in her favor.It was exactly seven when the bell rang and I rushed to the door, opening it. It was Christian.A smile spread across my face as I saw him and his eyes roamed all over my body, unable to hide his shock. After a few seconds, he cleared his throat and murmured, "You look breathtaking," He said and handed me a bouquet of flower.I blushed at the unexpected gesture, taking the flowers from him."Come on in." I said.He entered and I closed the door behind him. He wore a dark blue suit that complimented his figure

A V E L I N AIt was two in the morning and the house was quiet. The kids were sound asleep. But, I couldn't sleep.After the whole drama with Christian, Lorenzo went home and I didn't want to be alone. But, I didn't want to stay with him, or else it'll seem like I'm giving in. So, I had asked Carina to stay for the night which had saved me. She didn't know what had happened until I told her later on. Only that Christian left early, and that Nicholas and Lorenzo had to leave because of work.I was sitting on the bench out in my garden, a bowl of ice cream in my hands. My head was throbbing and I knew I should've been in bed, but my mind wouldn't allow me to sleep."You're not going to sleep?" I jumped at the sound of the familiar voice, my heart pounding as Lorenzo stepped out of the shadows, walking towards me.He was still wearing his clothes, a slight stubble on his chin and his eyes were dark, looking down at me."I want to be alone." I couldn't even recognize my own voice anymor
Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 110: Serenity
A V E L I N AChristian didn't answer any of my calls. Neither did he reply to any of my messages. It was obvious that he was ignoring me.It's been a month.A month since I saw Lorenzo. A month since he left and went back to New York. A month since I told him to leave me for good.He still calls. To check on the kids. At least, that was the only good thing I could do for him. I never let him hear my voice or see my face. Once he was done talking to the kids, I end the call immediately.The kids couldn't go a day without talking to him. Even Zion had warmed up to him and would always speak to him about his day or the new friends he made.I was at the grocery store with Zion and Autumn when a man with his children passes. He carried his two kids and got whatever they pointed at. My heart squeezed as I watched my children's expression.It wasn't because I couldn't get for them whatever they wanted, it was the realization that they had never and would never have this type of relationship
Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 111: Conflicted Feelings
A V E L I N AI saw a car parked as I drove into the front porch of my house. I didn't need anyone to tell me whose it was. It was Christian's car. I parked my car next to his, turned off the engine and stepped out. Christian was in a casual outfit, a dark blue polo and a washed light blue jean. He had on a face cap too.I stood in front of him with a slight smile, "Hi." I said, unsure of the mood he came in."I'm sorry about the other day." He said and I shook my head."No, I'm sorry. I should be the one apologizing to you. I can't imagine the humiliation I put you through. It wasn't intentional, Chris.""I know, I know. It isn't easy to get over your ex who you once loved. I guess I was expecting better from you but I still can't judge you. People make mistakes. Which is why I came back. I like you, Avelina. From the moment I saw you walking aimlessly on the street, I knew I was interested in you. But you had an aura of a broken woman. One who's lost her purpose. Then, I saw you an

A V E L I N A I couldn't sleep.After I hung up, I felt an emptiness inside of me. I had made a big mistake. A huge one.Christian was a nice guy and all, but I couldn't be with him. He wasn't the man who made me happy. The man who was able to bring a smile to my face. He wasn't Lorenzo.Lorenzo, he was my everything. He was my reason for living. And I hated myself for not realizing that earlier.I grabbed my phone and dialled his number. I wanted him. Needed him. To feel his arms around me and have him whisper sweet nothings into my ear.But my calls went straight to voicemail. Maybe this was a sign. Maybe it was meant to happen.Tears fell down my cheeks and I sobbed quietly, wishing things were different.My life would never be the same without Lorenzo in it.I loved him.With all my heart.But it was too late.Too late for me to realize what we had.Too late for us.I was going to move on.I had to.It was the only way to live a happy life.A happier life without him.But it's a

A V E L I N ACarina and I waited for the doctor's appointment. She was sitting in front of me, playing with her phone while I was biting on my nails, deep in thought.I was so nervous, and the feeling made me feel nauseous. I hadn't told anyone, but the last time I was pregnant, the morning sickness was awful. It was almost unbearable.And the worst thing about it, was the fact that it stayed for the entire nine months. I couldn't keep food in my stomach, and when I tried, the food just wouldn't stay in.I had to be in the hospital for a week, we all feared that I was going to lose the twins. I hoped this baby was going to be different, but knowing my luck, I wouldn't be so lucky.I didn't even know what the gender was, but it would be great if the baby was a girl. But, did I even want to keep this child to begin with?I had no idea.Everything was a mess."Hey." I looked up and saw Carina looking at me with a frown. "You shouldn't worry. It's going to be fine.""I know, I know.""Th

I didn't want another child.But, I had no choice. I didn't have a choice. A week had passed and I was yet to make a decision.I didn't know what to do. I couldn't. I was scared. I had to. I was conflicted. But, the answer was clear. I didn't have a choice.My mind made up, I stood from the bed and walked into the closet to look for clothes. After putting on my clothes, I picked up my phone and dialed the doctor's number, she picked at the third ring."Hello?""Will it be okay to come now?""Oh yes, Avelina." She said after few seconds. It might have been my head, but I thought I heard a hint of disappointment in her tone but nonetheless, she kept her professionalism. "Of course. When can I expect you here?""I'll be there soon. Thank you.""It's nothing. Take care, Ms. Marquez.""Yo
Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 115: Irritable Client
A V E L I N AThe next four months flew by in a blur and I had managed to hide my pregnancy from the whole world.Not even a rumor of me being pregnant had slipped. I had earlier thought hiding a pregnancy as a public figure would be hard but my baby had also cooperated by not showing.Well until my fifth month which was the second month of my second trimester. I was currently standing in front of my full body mirror in my closet as I stared at my baby bump in just my bra which was barely fitting anymore and panties and wondered how I was going to fit in any of my clothes without showing anymore. My belly has literally grown overnight. Autumn started at my reflection in the mirror and looked back at me. "Mummy, you're so huge." She said, her small eyes widening as she placed her little hands on my bump.I didn't have the heart to get offended at my daughter's insinuating of being fat. Of course.Little children never had filters.It always be your own kids, for real."Baby sister is

A V E L I N AA gasp slipped past my lips as I realized we had arrived at our destination.We were at the beach.The place was lit up with fairy lights, and there was a table for two in the middle, right by the shore. The view was incredible. It was a full moon and the light bounced off the sea, making it sparkle."Wow, babe. This is incredible.""I'm glad you like it."

She has woken up and gotten hungry while I was dressing up and I let everyone immediately to attend to her.After suckling for ten minutes, she has refused to sleep as she kept staring at my face. Her mouth formed into a toothless smile and I melted right there.Her grey eyes just like her father's own lightened up as I kissed her all over her face. I was told that her real eye color might come out but they were accentuating even more.Lorenzo's literal carbon copy.She grabbed my hair with her fist as she kicked her feet, I winced, gently pulling my hair from her strong little fist.The door opened and Carina came in. "Don't tell me you aren't ready yet." She said in horror looking at my unready state."Raine got hungry, I had to feed her. And I can't get anything done until she falls asleep.""Well, not while I'm here." She carried Raine from my hands and smiled. "My little sweetie pie,

A V E L I N A"Happy birthday Mummy!" I heard a shout followed by bodies landing on my bed. I slowly opened my eyes, to find Zion and Autumn looking down at me."Oh, thank you." I said and they wrapped their arms around me."I have a present for you, Mummy." Autumn said and gave me a paper. I smiled as I unfolded the paper, to find a picture she drew."I drew you."I pulled her into my arms. "Thank you baby. It's beautiful.""Zion, did you get anything for Mummy?"He shook his head. "Nope."I laughed and poked his cheek, "Oh come on. There's got to be something you got for me.""Nope." He said, cheekily. I knew he was definitely hiding something. "Are you sure?"Then he brought his hands from behind him and handed me a little box. Curious to know what was inside, I opened it and gasped.It was a beautiful alphabetical beaded bracelet. And it had the words 'Best Mom' in the middle."Where did you get this, Zion? It's so beautiful.""I made it for you, Mommy. Our teacher told us to mak

L O R E N Z OI arrived at the court house just in time with my lawyer and Nicholas. The first person my eyes met were Natalia's and she didn't look a tad bit remorseful.Her clothes were tattered and dirty and she looked thinner but held so much rage and enmity in her eyes. Seeing her rose lots of pent up anger in me."Order. Order. Will the jury please rise." The judge said and they all stood up."Today is the final court hearing. Has the jury come to a conclusion?""Yes, we have.""Read it out."The lady nodded her head and started to speak. "In the case of the people versus Natalia Serrano, we find her guilty. Evidences and footages have proven that she had conspired with a man to kill her boyfriend, and frame Lorenzo Salvatore for the crime."Natalia's face dropped, and the rage in her eyes burned harder than ever. The glare she gave me was something that could have killed me instantly if it had the ability."Is this true, Miss. Serrano?""No. They're lying. I didn't do anything.

A V E L I N AMy eyes slowly opened to a very blinding white ceiling and a nauseating hospital smell. I tried to adjust to the brightness and then tried to remember what had happened.Where am I?What happened?How did I get here?What was I doing before I got here?Then it hit me, I had a baby. Lorenzo was arrested. Anthonio is dead.I forced my eyes open again and this time, they didn't hurt. I turned and saw Lorenzo asleep in a chair, and the twins were on the bed, sleeping.I tried to call out his name, but I couldn't, I felt weak, my throat was dry, and I could barely move.Lorenzo started moving around and slowly woke up. He looked around the room and then his eyes met mine."Avelina, thank God you're awake." He said, rushing to my side and placing a kiss on my lips. "Oh my God, thank God. I thought I lost you, baby. Please don't ever do that to me again. I thought you died.""Water..." I said in a hoarse voice.He nodded his head and hurriedly got me a glass of water. "You hav

The evidence was too strong and the Mancini's were pushing it.It was finally the day of the trial, and I had been locked up for two days, and the worst thing was, I didn't get to hear from Avelina, I didn't know how she was doing. I was desperate and wanted to hear her voice, but no one was willing to listen to me. My lawyer finally arrived and we were to go to the court, and that's where I would get a verdict.I looked at Dorian and he gave me a reassuring nod. I decided to trust him. The court was packed with people and everyone was looking at me like I was a criminal. It made me feel uneasy and angry.I was escorted inside the room and I looked at the judge. The same one who ruled over my father's case."Mr. Lorenzo Salvatore. Do you understand the charges against you?""Yes.""Do you admit to killing Mr. Anthonio Mancini?""No, your honor.""Do you know of a gun which was

Because I'll sue you so hard, your entire family will be homeless by the end of the week. My client is innocent until proven guilty. There's no reason to threaten him.""Get him out of here. I don't want to see him or any of the Salvatores in my face. You have one day. That's the only warning I'm giving you. Stay away from me and mine.""One day, and my client will come after you." Dorian responded. "You can't touch him, and I will prove him innocent. One way or another, you will see the true colors of the Mancini family."I was escorted back into the room. "Let's go.""Wait."

My heart rate increased drastically as they began to ask me a lot of questions."You're losing a lot of blood.""We have to take the baby.""Give me something for the pain.""Mrs Salvatore, please, calm down. You have to let us do our jobs."My brain couldn't function at the moment, and I was feeling a bit lightheaded."What's going on?" I asked weakly, looking around the room as they took my daughter. My head was spinning and my eyes were heavy, but I wanted to see my baby."Mrs Salvatore, try your best to relax.""Valerie." I called her weakly, my vision blurry. "Tell me... what's going on.""Everything will be fine, Avelina. Lorenzo will be back soon enough." She tried to assure but I wasn't having it. "No." I said, tears falling down my cheeks. "Do
