{Vincenzo’s POV}I was sitting in the dark, a glass of water in my hand. 5 minutes past 12 and I couldn't sleep. I tried but failed. I haven't had a decent night's sleep.I just hate the fact that her Grandma forced me to stay a night in. If Only I could have a hooker next to me so I can sleep or someone next to me. Or Leilani ahem... what am I thinking? I sighed, running my fingers in my hair.I may need to see the Doctor for Sleeping pills. Well another doctor, I'm not allowed to drink sleeping pills anymore. I rested back on the coach and closed my eyes."Vincenzo.... you okay?" I heard a soft voice from behind me.“Couldn't sleep." I said. "I didn't wake you up, did I? Sorry Fiorelli— I mean... Leilani." I added looking at her over my shoulder."Oh.. no I had a stupid nightmare." She said.She walked to the fridge and walked to me. Sitting next to me.“What? You wanna talk about it?” I asked. Nightmares? Haven't had those in years.Related chapters

Later That Day.“Tutu! We are back.” They got into the house with some designs on their face. He was holding a stuffed animal for Leilani.“Grandma?!” She walked to the kitchen and saw a note:Lucritia picked me up. We will be back tomorrow 6pm.“Oh she's gone.” Vincenzo looked at her. “I won't understand your English.” He said and she laughed.“Oh. I meant Lucritia picked her up. She's at her house. So… movie?” Leilani asked. “What do you want to watch? It's only ten?" he suggested, pointing the remote at the TV.I sat next to him, making sure our legs touched, and snuggled myself next to his arm. I stared at the TV, but I could feel his eyes on me as I held onto him."Whatever you want," I answered."Leila?" he asked, softening his voice."Hmm?" I hummed. When he didn't answer me, I looked at him. He was staring at me with a blank expression, almost like he wanted to ask me something. "Yeah?" I said.His lips were on mine faster than I

Later That Night.I was lonely the whole day and I complained to Ed and he made it up to me. Tonight we are watching my favourite movie.I hate that he involved his brother but I had to pretend as if… nothing happened. I walked downstairs wearing my shorts and a tee.I found him seating on my favourite coach and wearing my blanket.“Oh come on Ed!! What's wrong with you?!” I yelled at Edgardo who was sitting on my favorite coach, wearing my blanket. Throwing a hand full of pop corns in his mouth.“There are plenty more blankets and you can seat there.” He pointed the seat next to Vincenzo. Vincenzo didn't care much he was on his phone, blushing. Must be Rose. What do I even care?Italian Boys! Aargh! I walked to the guest room and grabbed the blanket and sat next to Vincenzo. “Great. Now let's resume the movie.” Vincenzo said and I looked at Him.“You already started the movie?!” I snapped at him.“It was his Idea!” Vincenzo pointed Edgardo. I th

The Next Day.Vincenzo walked to the kitchen to find Leilani on the kitchen table and Ed between her.“Go. Get a room. Eww.” He said as he walked to the fridge to take out a bottle of beer.“Tough morning?” Edgardo asked as he fixed his pants and Leilani getting off the table. Walking up stairs. She didn't dare to look at him in the eye.“Tough night you mean? I didn't even sleep a wink. Despite having insomnia? She's too loud.” Vincenzo said and Edgardo laughed in embarrassment.“I forgot the walls are thin.” Edgardo said as he licked his lips. “When are you getting married? Found someone yet?” Edgardo asked and Vincenzo coughed. “Please. Don't talk about marriage. When are you getting married?!” Vincenzo snapped back and Edgardo laughed.“Well… not now. I messed up big time. And if she finds out. I'm a dead meat.” Edgardo said as he sat down.“Carcass you mean? What did you do?” Vincenzo asked as he drank from the bottle. “I… okay I trust you

I knew he won't be at home so I drove straight to the workplace, his work place. Our workplace I mean. I worked as his Personal assistant and incase you didn't noticed we met at right here 7 years ago. The moment he smiled I knew what I wanted in my life.“Hey Sis! I'm heading to My Fian— I mean boss' office.” I said to the receptionist And she waved. Oh she was on a call.I took the elevator to his office. His door was slightly open so I barged in.Why is it not surprising? Edgardo Di fucking Costa kissing none other than Mary… oh should I say it was moaning than kissing? Mary Bradshaw. Who knew she was in town?“Eddy...” I heard the moan when I approached them. And then I saw him. I wanted to scream and yell but I felt speechless. I cleared my throat and handled it like a normal woman would do.“What in the? Ed?!” I yelled and he stopped to throw her off him and when she fell down, ouch that must have hurt.“Mary?! Really Ed?! Oh my gosh. I don't have time
Love In The Dark Oh Poor Leila...
Later That Night At Amelia's Party.Leilani didn't allow Claire to take care of her, she wanted her to enjoy and she wanted herself to have some time alone.“Claire… I'm going to the bathroom.” I said and Claire nodded. She stood up.“No. You stay here. I'll be back in a few minutes” I walked to the bathroom and it was pretty occupied.So I went upstairs to use the bathroom there, yes it's not my first time here. I got in there.Halfway into the bathroom, I heard someone cough from behind me. I jumped and turned around to see some unfamiliar person standing two feet away from me."Oh, sorry. The bathroom downstairs was taken," I tried to explain. The man, looking in his thirties, didn't say anything. Maybe he lived here? I could see, he looked strong. "Um, hello?" I waved to his face.He crossed his arms and gave me an evil smirk that sent chills down my back and I had goosebumps all over. I trusted my gut, so I backed up into the bathroom and fumble
Love In The Dark Never Again
Later That Morning.The tray of equipment fell down and they noticed Vincenzo was standing on the door. “Oh. Bro. You are here?” Edgardo said with a lot of enthusiasm. “Ha-ha. I brought some pants and shirt. Well… Claire did but she said she'll see you soon, her business is under crisis.” Vincenzo explained while putting the clothes on the bed.“Okay.” It was her reply that made Vincenzo realise that she was still mad at him. So instead, he patted Edgardo’s back. The nurse walked in.“Rise and Shine Sweetheart. The bruises will be gone in a few days and for now sign these.” She gave Leilani some discharge forms.“You!” The nurse pointed at Vincenzo. He looked away. “Come on. Bring them to me. Now!” The nurse ordered and Vincenzo gave Edgardo the car keys.“Good.” The nurse said and Edgardo let out a small laughter.“You'll take the car. I'm not allowed to drive. I dislocated my arm.” Vincenzo said. And that's when they noticed he was wearing an arm
Love In The Dark Leaving
At The Therapist.She spent an hour without saying anything. Edgardo even tried to excuse himself but nothing made her talk.“Okay. I understand, it may be that you don't want to talk. But if you feel like talking, you can always write everything down.” The Therapist said to Leilani who was quiet the whole session.“Thank you.” That's all she said. She stood up and walked out to find Edgardo waiting.“Hey baby.” He said as he removed the hair from her face. She smiled. “I need some rest. Can we go home?” Edgardo smiled to her.“Anything for you baby.” He said as he walked with her to the car.He dropped there and had to leave. She stayed with Claire.“So… who you going to choose?” Leilani looked at Claire who was eating potato chips.“What do you mean?” Leilani asked as she sat raised her eyebrows.“Leilani, you do realise you have to choose the man you want to end up with? And Honestly, there's no way you could ever do it without hurting anyone.
Love In The Dark Wait... Who's That?
“Heaven… you good?” Claire asked. Leilani looked at her and smiled. “I am Great!” She said sarcastically and Claire rolled her eyes. “Are you being Sarcastic?”“No. I'm lost in between and honestly… I don't know how to feel.” She said and Claire walked to her.“It's the Di Costa boys, isn't it?” Claire asked and Leilani looked at her.“Let's go inside.” They walked inside. Leilani sat down and Claire brought some ice cream. “So… what did he say?” Claire asked.“He's leaving.”“Probably for the best.” Claire said as she put a spoon full of ice cream in her mouth.“Excuse me?” “What? I mean… you are engaged and he's literally your brother-in-law, so… it's for the best.”“Oh… funny you only said that now. I mean… you could've said it in the start.”“What? No. I thought it was a once off thing and now here you are telling me it's happened more than two times.”“So?” Leilani said as she placed the spoon in the bowl of ice cream.“I m

“…I love you.” I felt air hit my face when Vincenzo said those words. He said them a couple times but this time it hits different. “I love you too.” I finally said the words. He kissed me and then kissed Giovanni.“Now everything makes sense.” Sophia walked over to us. I felt like I could just disappear.“I'm sorry Mom. I… I—” she didn't even let me talk.“As long as you are all happy. And I must say Edgardo is happier.” She says and we all look over to aisle. Edgardo and Claire were kissing again.“Besides… I had a clue at the hospital. ‘Do people always fall in love with what they can't have?’ Duh… Okay I'm lying.

“The saddest thing about betrayal is... that it never comes from your enemies.” He says, my eyes widened and I could say the same for Vincenzo’s.We all knew where this is going.“Trust me, it doesn't. I was betrayed by my own ‘Wife' to be and my brother.” He said and people gasped. I looked over to Sophia and more importantly, my Grandparents… I felt like I could open the ground and enter. I grabbed the bouquet too tight and looked down to the floor.“Well… you want proof? There is my Little Giovanni.” He pointed at Mirabelle, holding Giovanni. Giovanni wasn't even aware that they were talking about her. She was just cooing and gurgling. “Hey! Don't judge her! I was cheating for two full years.” He says and everyone went quiet just Giovanni cooing.“Edga—” Sophia tried to talk to him but he raised his hand.“It's okay mother. Because I was cheating, My darling ‘wife' thought it will ease her pain if she get into bed with my dear brother.” Edgardo said. Vincenzo watched over his moth
Love In The Dark Exposed
The Next Day.The day is finally here. And wow. I was stunned. With me being the most beautiful woman, it was hard for me not to be stunned by my looks. I was gorgeous. Thanks to Claire, she had curled my hair in tight ringlets that fell down my back.Then she had taken hair from the sides and braided them around the back of my head to look like a barrette. Not to mention my wedding dress.The dress leaves my shoulders mostly uncovered and flows down into a graceful cowl neckline. It's a little loose fit which makes the dress look beautiful, cute, yet elegant and stylish.My arms are completely uncovered. A choice which adds to the elegance and grace of the dress.The dress' waist is thin, but it's a slim fit. It's left simple, elegant and undecorated, creating a look that flows from top to bottom.Below the waist the dress widens and has a box pleated style. The dress reaches all the way down, covering my feet and is the same length all around.Well, we had to spice things up, I'm wearin

So I made sure that I stay silent.I walked to bathroom and cleaned my nose. “Are you okay?” Edgardo made me jump when I saw him leaning on the door frame. He chuckled. “…Yes. Why wouldn't I be? I mean it's only a nose bleed.

...It was positive. Claire’s lips parted and he knew what it meant.“…I found out yesterday.” She said and he looked at her. “Is it mine?” He asked. Why would he ask that?“We had sex a lot of times… unprotected. Yes… It's yours but if you don't want it then it's fine. We, I mean I can always... terminate it.” Claire said and Edgardo hugged her.“No. It's okay. Don't terminate it.

Love In The Dark An Angel Added To The Di Costa Famiglia
39 Weeks Into Pregnancy.{Leilani's POV}I knew I wanted to labor at home for as long as possible because it was a comfortable, safe environment and the less time I spent in the hospital, the less likely I was to have a medically unnecessary intervention besides I have my Grandma, Mirabelle and Sophia.I was upstairs, I tried to drink a smoothie my grandma made but after months of abstinence it tasted like rubbing instant porridge. I also tried to rest but my contractions were too intense, frequent to get any sort of meaningful rest. On the other hand, there is a debate downstairs. I labored upstairs in my bedroom for several hours, changing positions frequently. I was on my hands and knees on the bed and on the birth ball on the floor while Edgardo tried to calm me during contractions.“Do you need anything?” he asked. I shook my head and smiled at him.“You can go downstairs.” I say to him. He smiles.“I can't leave you here. It's either we stay here or we go together.” He says. O
