“Wow.” I said, chugging a glass of water. “That was something.”

“Just another day in my life,” Enzo said, as a matter of fact. He left out a tired sigh, closing his eyes for a few seconds.

“You okay?” I said, grabbing his shoulder gently.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” He said, “Just a light headache. I’ll be fine.”

“Do you think Ratliff is going to listen?”

“Sure, he has no choice.” Enzo said, “Moreover, that is our best bet right now. We can’t really-”

Enzo cut himself off as we heard a strangled cry from a distance. “Get away from him!” It was Grandma.

I stared at Enzo in worry, “What the hell?”

Both of us whipped our heads toward the hall, where Grandma was standing in a corner, watching commotion break loose. It was Alfred that held Grandpa’s collar, a murderous glare claiming his face. They seemed to be having an argument, and people gathered around to see the show.

Enzo and I headed over immediately.

“Alfred, get away from him right now.” Enzo intervened, pushing Alfred off of Gran

    “Enzo got three stitches on his forehead and a mild concussion.” Leo announced to us in the waiting room. “Oh, thank god.” Grandma said, wrapping her hands around my body. I let out a sigh of relief finally, my head hanging low. “Yeah, and the doctors said he needs to rest for the next twenty four hours. So minimal visitors.” “Yeah, yeah. Of course.” Grandma said. “When is he going to be discharged?” “They just want to keep him under observation for a few more hours before they let him go. It’s just for safety.” He said and his eyes then found me. “You can meet him in a few minutes. The nurse is just finishing up.” I nodded, “Yeah.” Right then, Grandpa came in, searching for my eyes. The police held him up at the mansion after hell broke loose, so he had to stay back and take care of that business. Before I left, he swore to me that Alfred would be behind the bars, but I told him to just get here as soon as possible. “How is he?” He said as he approached me. “He’s okay.” “Tha

    There was no news about Alfred and his family the next day. All we knew was that his son bailed him out this morning, and they haven't stepped foot in the mansion since the ceremony. Inorder to make things better, I’d told Grandpa to be fair and give them what they wanted, to which he begrudgingly agreed. “I’ll take care of it.” He said, “Just enjoy your vacation.” “I sure will.” I said, “But you take care of yourself. We’ll be back in four days.” He nodded, before something caught his attention. Following his gaze behind my shoulder, I found Enzo talking to my grandmother. She was examining his wound, gently tapping it to see if it was still tender. As I glanced back at my grandfather, a warm smile claimed his face, “When we came to you, we were praying to God to let us have a granddaughter in our lives. I think God was sorry for us, and gave us a grandson too.” His words tugged at my heart. This was the same man who questioned if Enzo was the right person for me just mere wee

    Enzo and I checked into our hotel at Positano, a small town on the Amalfi coast, officially kick-starting our babymoon. Since I was the one to suggest the idea, I took it upon myself to make all the hotel bookings and itinerary. So when Enzo casually walked into the room only to stop dead in his tracks, I knew that I’d managed to impress him. “Wow.” He said, glancing at me with surprise filled in his eyes, “This looks amazing. I wonder what the view is like.” As we went into the balcony, we were met with a breathtaking view of the coast, with the sea on one side and the bustling town on the other. It was just like what they promised in the hotel pictures. “How did you manage to get us a room here? That too, on such short notice.” I shrugged. “Do you like it?” “I love it.” He said, pecking me on the lips. “I can’t wait to get out there and have some fun on the beach.” “About that.” I said, grinning. “I’ve booked us a private boat ride at sunset. And we have about three hours to

    For dinner, I made a reservation at La Sponda, a Michelin star restaurant. The place was candle-lit with the view of the sea - an entire package of a romantic dinner. Enzo was pleased with my choice as he sat at our table, looking dapper in his crisp white shirt paired with tailored trousers. He looked nothing short of ravishing tonight. As for me, I settled for a simple summer dress in pink, hoping Enzo picked up on the clue. Once we were done placing the order, the waiter asked, “Shall I get a bottle of wine, ma’am?”“Yes, please. A bottle of-” “No, actually. We’re good.” Enzo said, handing him the menu. “Why? Don’t you want some?” “I’ll give you company on your virgin Pina Colada.” He said, “By the way, there’s news from the UK.” I raised my brows, “Okay?” “Raymond got the contract.” I breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank God.” I said, “All that hustle… well, it worked in our favour afterall.” “Yes, and he asked me to thank you specifically.” The waiter came back with our fo

    We scrambled inside the bedroom like two love-sick teenagers. “Careful there.” Enzo said as I fell back on the bed, dragging him by the shirt with me. “I’ll be fine.” I said, pulling him in for a kiss. Enzo planted his hands on either side of my head, delving deeper into my mouth with his. His kisses were hungry, yet gentle. There was always a softness with his touch. He never did anything to claim me, to make me feel like I belonged to someone else. Everything he did, he did it with care and respect. And that’s what I loved the most about him. He nibbled at my lower lip, giving it a gentle suck, as though he was playing the bigger game of seducing me. But I didn’t need to be seduced. I was already insanely turned on. I was yearning for him, his love and all I needed was for him to take me. Show me how much he loved me. “Enzo, please.” I said, “Can you get rid of your clothes already?” He sighed, pulling away from me completely. He started unbuttoning his shirt, suppressing a s

    The next few days passed like a breeze. Enzo and I explored Positano, travelled to the Amalfi town, and came back to Naples to spend the evening there. And then, it was finally time to head back to Sicily. We would be joining Grandma and Grandpa for breakfast before we flew back home to the states. “Did you guys have fun?” Grandma asked as she sipped on her orange. “Oh, yes. It was a great trip. All the credit goes to Cassie here.” Enzo said, “She even planned a surprise gender reveal for me.” “Really?” Her face beamed. “Yes, Grandma, it’s going to be a girl.” “Another one?” Grandpa said, pleasantly surprised. “Damn.” “Don’t be like that, Albert!” Grandma said, slapping his hand. “No, I’m delighted. I can’t wait to spoil her.” He grinned, “It’s Enzo I’m worried about. It’s not easy having pretty daughters.”We broke into a laugh, and that was when someone approached the table. As I looked up, I realized that it was Axon. “Hello, everyone.” He said, “May I join you?” “Of cour

    “All’s looking great, Cassandra.” The doctor said as she stepped away from my belly, that has now grown into the size of a giant watermelon. Or bigger, actually. “Nothing to worry about. Everything’s going fine and we’ll be able to get your daughter into this world in two weeks, on your expected date of delivery.” I grinned, looking at Enzo with excitement. But he seemed tense. “I can’t wait.” “Yeah.” He said, “Anything we should know about? Any extra care in these last few days?” “Nothing apart from the usual. Look for fetal movements, eat and rest well. You know the drill.” She said, “Don’t worry, Mr Deluca. You’re doing everything right.” “Thank you, doc.” A few minutes later, we were in Enzo's car making our way home. He was driving me, and while I tried to make conversation with him, he limited his responses to monosyllables. His eyes were focused on the road, but his mind was elsewhere. “Enzo?” I said, “Are you okay?” “Yes,” He frowned, stealing a quick glance at me, “Wh

    I picked a red dress for dinner tonight, a classic choice that one can’t go wrong with. By eight o’clock, Enzo and I reached the restaurant, right on time. Enzo held my hand and walked up to the reception, checking our reservation. “Hello, we have a reservation under the name Trent Dalton at 8.” Enzo said. The receptionist was a small, young woman, who was clearly not used to seeing handsome men in her profession. Her cheeks flushed as she spoke to Enzo. “Y-yes. Mr Dalton’s already here. Let me guide you to your seat.” I couldn’t help but be amused at her. She was clearly dazzled. Who could blame her? Enzo looked dapper in his three piece all black suit. Luckily for me, I picked out a classic red dress for dinner tonight, complementing him. As we approached our table, I saw a lovely couple conversing with each other. As soon as they saw us, they gave us a huge grin. “Mr DeLuca.” Trent said, offering his hand, “Nice to finally meet you.” “You too, Mr Dalton.” Enzo said, and put h

    Enzo flew out to the UK two days ago, and yet, there was no news of his return. His one day trip was prolonged to three days, and now, he was saying there could be more delay. “The damn paperwork, Cassie. Nothing is delivered on time here.” he said, “I can tell that Trent is doing this on purpose. Such a petty loser.” I sighed, thinning my lips at him as I watched his distraught face on facetime. He was sitting in a cafe, having lunch. “Any news about when you will return?” I asked. Kelly stayed with me for two days, but she had to head back home today. Although I was not scared of sleeping alone, it would be better if I had some company. “I have my flight ticket booked for this evening.” He said, “I’m just praying that nothing else comes up before I get on the plane.” I smiled, “And what if something happens when you’re flying and you have to go back?” “Well, fuck it. I don’t care at this point. Let them shut down the office here if they want to.” He said, “When is Kelly comin

    It only took three days for my fear to come true. I was writing an email on my laptop when I heard the door bang shut. I shuddered at the sound, and feared if there was an intruder. But I quickly heard Enzo’s voice. It was evident that he was pissed. “Fucking hell.” Enzo said as he stormed into our bedroom, his phone pressed to his ear. He had an irritated frown on his face, and he quickly mumbled a sorry my way. I put my laptop away and sat up straight, noticing the file he threw on the table. “Get me everything you can find on this. I’m letting him have his way with this. He’s acting like a bratty child that was denied his fucking candy.” As Enzo cut the call, he looked toward me. “You were right.” “About what?” “That bastard Trent.” He said, “He’s messing with my UK branch, booking me for tax evasions.” “What?” I said, confused. Tax evasions? Enzo never does anything like that. How can he get sued for it? “How is that possible?” “He must have hired a mole in my firm to get
