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 fumbleRelated chapters

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

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.

“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

"Shit," he said under his breath. He motioned me over to him, so I got up quickly and stood in front of him."Vincenzo?" the female voice called. "Are you okay?""Just a second!" he replied. He turned to me, lowering his voice. "Leilani, you have to hide. I'll explain later but for right now, you can't let her see you.""Who is she?" I demanded, being sure to keep my voice low. I felt the tears prickle in my eyes, but I blinked them back, determined not to cry."I'll explain later, just get in the closet," he pleaded. Without another word, I turned away from him and opened the hallway closet, stepped inside the dark, tiny space, then closed the door behind me. I lowered myself onto the ground, sat on the carpet slowly, and pulled my knees to my chest, listening carefully."It'll be okay," he whispered into the cracks in the door. I rested my chin on my arms and waited. Light flooded into the cracks on the closet door when he opened the front door. The sound of heels on tile echoed thr

The Next Day.My hands shook uncontrollably as the nerves started to set in. I nervously bit on my lower lip, straining to hear footsteps outside the door.Thud. Thud. Thud.After an eternity, well actually 10 minutes, the footsteps finally came as my doctor stepped foot inside of the room. "Well Ms Reed, are you ready for the results?" He asked.I nodded my head reluctantly, "You are pregnant." He said, speaking the words I dreaded. “Congratulations!!” he added.I gave a wan smile. Tell me it's a prank. Someone tell me!!!!“But the doctor took my blood, there weren't anything abnormal… those levels. I should've paid attention at—"“There, there Ms Reed. That's why I had to do an internal scan so we can find out… whether you are pregnant or not.” He hushed me. Honestly… they had to insert a scan inside of me because the external scanner couldn't detect the baby."Now, Ms Reed, we can discuss your options now, or you can create an appointment and come in then." The doctor said waking

During The Party.Leilani’s chauffeur escorted her into the ball room. She was welcomed by the scent of expensive wine, not to mention perfumes and colognes. The butler took off her fluffy jacket as it was hot in there.She walked in there to look for Claire but people were looking at her. Who wouldn't?The dress covers her shoulders almost fully and flows down into a simple halter neckline. It is a snug fit which puts the focus on her breasts, but in a graceful manner.Her arms are only covered at her shoulders. Which not only helps accentuate her gorgeous skin, it also keeps the focus on other parts of the dress.The dress' waist is a loose fit. A large belt helps accentuate her waist in a stylish manner. The dress reaches to well above her knees.She walked there as the centre of attention but still made her way to Claire.“Girl, you look stunning and 2 hours late. I've been waiting for you.” Yes, the party started over two hours ago and Leilani by that time she was fighting to kee

I woke up feeling like I was hit by 28 trucks. Judging by the pattern on the ceiling I was in the guest room back at the mansion.Claire was sleeping besides me on the same bed. Typical, she wouldn't leave my side because I remember I fainted.I removed the cold pad on my head and got off bed. It was already morning?I walked outside found Edgardo, sleeping on the floor. “He was trying to get into the room but Claire and I didn't allow him.” Sophia said and I smiled at her. But I'm pretty sure his neck is breaking so I reached for him but Sophia stopped me.“Let him be, he deserve that. Come sweetie. Come have breakfast.” I walked towards her and we walked downstairs to the kitchen. “Well… I prepared some tremazzini. You can drink your medicine after that.” She said as she put the prenatal vitamins on the table. I knew she knew.She was looking at me with a lot of excitement. I took a bite from the tremazzini.“This is so good.” I said and she smiled widely. I knew she wanted me t

That Night.Leilani was in tears.“Please… stay.” She asked, emotionally.“Don't ask me to stay Leilani. I'm trying to be brave.” He explained. He grabbed his bag and when he begun to walk Leilani gasped.“Leilani… don't.” He said as he stopped. “What will happen to me?” she asked as tears flew from her face.“Please don't. You know that I can't face your broken heart. I have to do this.”“This is cruel!! You can't just leave me. Where as you know you… given me something that I can't live without.” She said and he turned. “I'm being cruel to be kind. This is what you wanted. So I'm giving it to you. Quit stressing too much, it's not good for the baby.” Vincenzo said as he walked to her and gave her a forehead kiss.“You give me mixed signals…” Leilani said crying.“Leilani—” Claire came outside and saw Vincenzo heading to the car.“Claire… Please take care of her.” Vincenzo added and Claire nodded as he walked into the car.“Leila… let's go inside, it's getting cold.” Claire said an

Even Vincenzo likes doing that and I hate it! They are really brothers. Ha-ha.“HEY!” I yelled and he laughed before catching her. He plopped a big kiss on her forehead and placed her in his arms."Hey baby girl," he laughed.She was busy cooeing. He made his way to me and sat down on my right. Honestly, it wasn't funny!"Not funny!” I snapped at him.“She enjoyed it!” He said as he showed me her little smile.“Now, Giovanni. When you grow old, don't bully Uncle Edgardo, because he is sensitive and might cry like a

“…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. I didn't know until that day when I wanted to use your car. I found a note. A letter from Fiorellino. I didn't know who Fiorellino was until the day you visited her at the hospital when she was in a coma.” Sophia said and I smiled. So he lied that he never visited me?“Why did you keep it a secret?” “Whatever happens in the darkness will finds it's way to the light. I'm

“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

The Next Day. {Leilani's POV}Something is weird, there is no crying? No gurgling? No cooeing? No funny screams? That could only mean one thing… my baby's gone.I sprinted to her nursery room and everything was packed neatly. I checked the time, it was already 9 am.I ran downstairs and saw Edgardo on a phone call.“Giovanni’s missing!” I say and he laughs.“I'll call you back.” He hangs up the phone and smiles.“No, Mom took Giovanni with her. She didn't want to bother you.” He says and I sit down in relief. Oh Thank goodness. “Get ready okay? We have to be somewhere.” He pinches my cheek and walked away.Is it a surprise? I walked up the stairs and took a shower.I tried to be quick as possible but I couldn't. I just wore a dress, Tutu bought for me. It was a white dress with sunflowers. I liked it.Edgardo kissed my forehead as we walked into the car.After a few minutes, we stopped by a café.“Can you please get me some coffee.” He says. Since when he loves coffee? Since he st

{Leilani's POV}I looked at the scar that's on my chest… I remember now. I know how it feels to be betrayed, Edgardo. We are even.Slow deep breath. Calm down. And when I finally calmed down. I walked outside. The hallway was quiet so I assumed that Giovanni is asleep.I walked into our room and found Edgardo lying with her on the bed. 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. Nothing major.” I say and he walked to me to kiss me but I backed up.“I'm wet.” I said that and he raised his eyebrows. “Ahem… I mean I'm wet from… never mind.” I knew if I try to explain I'd make things worse.He shook his head and walked back to the room. I cleaned myself and I walked out.“I'll be back.” I whisper to him as I walked down the stairs and I knew where exactly I'd find Him.I walked outside, the garden and I saw h

“Let's get married.” I looked over my shoulder and saw him.His tie was hanging awkwardly as if something pissed him off and he tried to take it off as soon as possible. “W… what?” I asked with the hope he won't change his mind and he didn't. “I… can't do this anymore. Let's get married.” He said as he walked towards us. He kissed Giovanni.“Yes! Yes!!” I said. He hugged me and kissed me.“Great! We'll get married on Friday!” He says. Whoa, whoa, Whoa!!“Why?

...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. How long?” He asked. “Two months.” She says unsure of herself and he sigh.“I'll book you a doctor's appointment. Now I think I know what to do.” Edgardo said and Morgan walked to them. He then pushed the test into his pocket making sure no one sees it.“Honestly… you should get me a new car. It smells like pregnancy in there.” Morgan said and they laughed. “Andrea wishes she was here. Was on a video call with her.” Morgan says. And they all laughed.“Anyways, Where's Vincenzo?

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
