Love In The Dark If Only Life Had A Rewind Button
“Mom? Will you save her?” Edgardo asked and Sophia turned. She looked at him, she nods. “Yes.” She responded.“Promise?” She smiled at him, remembering when he was a little boy asking for a car toy.“I promise.” Sophia walked in there.“So what blood type is she?” She asked. “O negative.” “Good. Get me a lot of O negative.” She ordered. She lost a huge amount of blood and they couldn’t stop the bleeding for many hours.She went to the head of the bed, and she hooked her up to a respirator that breathes for her.The other surgeon put tubes... everywhere. A large-bore tube goes into each arm, an even larger one into her groin, and through that they start pressure-bagging type-O-negative blood, trying to replace what she’s lost. “Get me another!!!” Sophia called for another unit of blood, but no matter how fast they work, they can’t work fast enough. Because… she was slowly, slowly dying.“Another one!!” she yelled again.The monitor begins to sound this shrill insect whine meant to

The Next Day.Claire heard someone hissing out lot of bad words and the person growls, groans. She quickly opened her eyes. Taking in her surroundings, the dark floor and the dark grey walls. Noticing she was in a room that did not belong to her. It was unfamiliar. She sat up, but quickly grabbed the sheet and covered her chest. She was naked. She looked at herself and then clips of last night flashed back and she was alarmed. She turned her head around slowly to face the male staring back straight at her. Edgardo Di Costa, her best friend's fiancé. He turned.He just looked ahead. His back was facing her. She swallowed hard as she waited for him to say something. But he didn't. Just sat there, at the side of the bed- he was barely on the bed. One question popped into her head. What have she done?He sudden movement startled her that she followed each and every movement of his with her eyes. He stood up. He dropped his blanket that was covering him. She sighed.He stood tall staring a

3 Weeks Later.Leilani shook her hands. When she opened her eyes, Rosetta, the nurse was fixing her pillows. She started to panic as she noticed the Endotracheal tube down her throat. “Oh!” Rosetta said and she looked at the door and back at Leilani.“It's okay… deep breaths okay?! I'll be back in a second.” Rosetta ran to the door to call a doctor. A doctor walked in. “She's awake? Hi Leilani. Do me a favour. I'm going to turn off this respirator and tell me if you can breathe on your own okay?” The doctor asked and she nodded. With her eyes wide open.The doctor turned the respirator off and she was able to breathe on her own.“That's a progress.” The doctor said. Rosetta grabbed the equipment table. “This is going to be a little uncomfortable.” The doctor added as he pulled the endotracheal tube out of her mouth. Making her cough.“Sorry. I'm going to take a look you.” The doctor said as he raised two fingers.“How many fingers can you see?”“Two.” She responded. He checked her e
Love In The Dark The Work Plan
{Edgardo's POV}I don't deserve you, Leilani. As much as I hate to admit this, Vincenzo does. I know because he is my brother, known him for my dear life.I just felt betrayed, I never meant to push you off the balcony, I never did. And I am truly sorry. I know you have no clue what is going on, if you did, you wouldn't want me to lay a finger on you or even worse, to cross paths with me.You belong with Vincenzo… because I think I found someone who… makes me a better man. But, you're clueless and I can't just give you to a stranger. Who does that?That little snore was so satisfying to hear. You are so beautiful. I love you. I kissed her forehead and walked out. I saw Vincenzo talking to Mom. Did I mention that we never talked? Not even a word. Just like 8 years ago. We never contacted each other. That makes me sad, and somehow angry.“Mrs. Di Costa!! I said I am okay. Mom seriously, quit worrying. My ribs finally recovered so I am okay.” I heard Vincenzo say.“Please, if you have so
Love In The Dark I Can't Remember
Later That Day.“The results are back and you're good to go. I prescribed some medication for your amnesia. It may take a few weeks or maybe months for you to regain your memories.” The doctor said and Leilani nodded. “Don't forget your prenatal pills. Here's some tracksuit from Doctor Di Costa.” The doctor said. “Thank you, Doctor.” Leilani says and he nods and walks out.Leilani leans on the bed and feel her bump.“…Wow." She says with disbelief.

Love In The Dark There Are No Secrets That Time Doesn't Reveal
…When I opened my eyes. I was in bed with my Fiancé. Our legs intertwined together, more like me wrapping my legs around his. His hand was stroking my hair. His eyes were in mine and he had a soft smile on his face. “Are you okay?” He asks. Is it weird that I wish it was his brother instead of him? Edgardo looked at me while I was busy processing the information that Vincenzo gave me. More especially, the letter.“Yes. Thank you. What happened?” I asked. He continued smiling. “You collapsed.” He whispers. I looked around.“Where are we?” I had to make sure we are not in the same place with the man I almost cheated with."Home.” He explains. Oh thank goodness.“I missed you. I missed this but I feel like you don't deserve not to remember.” Edgardo says, excuse me? What is that supposed to mean?"Edg—” he cuts me short before I could even talk."Shh…” he hushed me as he places a finger on my lips. "I need to say this." Say what? I feel scared.I shut my mouth and wait for him to conti
Love In The Dark When Love Is Real, It Finds Its Way
She found a message from Vincenzo. So she called him back.“Hello? Uh… I don't know. Okay I'll be there.” Leilani hanged up after being invited to a small business dinner. He sent her the location and it was surprising he invited her to a huge hall but it was empty.“Well… someone was getting ready for bed.” Vincenzo mocked her when she walked into the room. Who would not? She's wearing simple jeans with a pink T-shirt.“Oh please. I had a long day.” Leilani says as she takes off her heels.“Hungry?” Vincenzo asked as he pointed out a table full of food and Leilani shook her head.“No. I'm full actually.” She was right, she ate back at home.“Come on follow me.” He took her hand and they walked into the same room they were slow dancing in. Vincenzo sat down.“Do you remember how you first met Edgardo?” Vincenzo asked as he helped her sit next to him. She giggles.“Like it was yesterday.” She says and he smiles at her.“What happened?” He asked with an enthusiasm that he wanted to k

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
