Love In The Dark Dive Right Into Love
Later That Night.I honestly passed out. And I'm in bed. I calloused fingertips brush the stray hair back from my face and I groan, turning my face into the warm, male chest at my side. The arm around my waist tightens its grip, a kiss is placed at the top of my head and the last remains of sleep are wiped from my slightly drowsy mind.My eyes open slowly, and I frown at the male chest before me. How had I ended up in the bed? And how the hell had I ended up wrapped around Vincenzo like a blanket?Was I not hurting him? Of course I am!"How are you feeling?" I look up to see him frown worriedly down at me."Are you alright?" He was asking me if I was alright? Why? I wasn't the one that fell from a two floor house, I'd only passed out at the sight and sound of his pain. It isn't like its a fatal reaction… trust me, it's not."I am fine, but you have not answered me." He smiles down at me gently, cupping my cheek."I'm fine. But, how can you not feel bad. I crushed your ribs right now?"
Love In The Dark Marriage & Jealousy
Later That Day.She noticed that they didn’t drive to Sophia's mansion but Edgardo’s aunt's place. Mirabelle renovated her mansion, it looked bigger, maybe it's because they haven't visited her in months.From the outside this mansion looks massive, warm and elegant. It has been built with expensive blue stones and has blue stone decorations, blue that's Mirabelle’s favourite colour, last time it was white. Tall, rectangular windows add to the overall style of the mansion and have been added to the mansion in a fairly symmetrical pattern.The mansion is equipped with a big, old-fashioned kitchen, a lot of bathrooms, it also has a cozy and elegant living room, a lot of bedrooms, a big dining room, a bar, it was probably for her husband, a small basement. It had a lot of things. It has two floors. The two extensions extend into a garden path .The second floor is bigger than the first, which creates a stylish overhang on two sides of the house. This floor has a slightly different sty
Love In The Dark Say Something
But I think we all can agree that Alcohol is a solution, in chemistry of course.So I drank. To get her off my mind.After the party, we all took the limousine there, Leilani was quiet trying by all means to never look me in the eyes.Claire and Frederick noticed the tension, Mom was just happy, busy asking me when I am going to marry, which is never. The girl I wanted to marry is married to my brother. I shouldn't have come to my father's funeral. Maybe this wouldn't have happened.Everyone was busy laughing at a joke Frederick cracked. He was a comedian by nature but I didn't feel like laughing. “Okay I get it. Now kids, don't come close to the balcony it's not stable.” Sophia says.“Sophia Di Costa, the Billionaire's wife can't even fix the balcony?” Edgardo asked and Sophia hit his head with her purse.“I don't have kids running around. But now that I do… I'll get it fixed in two days. For now I am tired.” Sophia said as she walked up the stairs.“Good night!” They all said and
Love In The Dark Anger Is One Letter Short Of Danger
“Say something, Babe.” Leilani knew to how to make things worse, more like pouring acids in his eyes which hurts so bad.“What do you want me to say, Leilani?” He asked softly like he was talking to a child. His voice was molten sexy. Maybe if he talked to her like this she wouldn't have cheated.“Anything, but please don't stay silent.” Leilani begged and he turned to her. He gave a smirk.“So it was Vincenzo, all along?” He asked. Leilani begun to stutter and he let out a small unbelievable laughter. “Yes, it was your brother.” She finally said after having the guts to talk.“My brother? Leilani you could've cheated with someone, not Vincenzo.” Vincenzo continued talking to her calmly.Leilani looked at him. “That someone is Vincenzo. It couldn't be helped. I'm sorry.” The damage was already done but nonetheless, she apologized with a shaky voice.“Is that baby even mine?” He asked and Leilani touched her stomach. Oh yeah, she was afraid to tell him that there's a chance that Edgar
Love In The Dark Promises Are The Sweetest Lies
My head, it hurts so bad. This is it. This is the end, isn't it? Blood keeps flowing to the floor beneath my big head, like a puddle of rain of death. Yes, this is the end.How can I still see? I have a chance right? No, impossible. There is no fixing this. I need to sleepI'm tired, so tired. But I cannot give in, I cannot sleep. To sleep means to die, I must stay strong. But my body can't take it anymore, perhaps I should just sleep and save my strength until help arrives. Yes, yes that would be best. Save my strength. Help will be here soon.I heard footsteps.I don't think I'm going to make it. No, I know I'm not going to make it. It all ends here, this is where I die. That's okay, I don't have the strength to fight anymore anyway. I'll just wait then, wait for my final breath. After all, I deserve it, It was just a poisoned bread and I was hungry. Well, it did satisfy the appetite but, it's killing me softly. Perhaps killed me.I could still hear their voices. Maybe this is the ba
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
Love In The Dark We All Have Stories We Never Tell
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
Love In The Dark Memory Loss Is Way To Cope With Damage
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 Our Story Ends Here
“…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
Love In The Dark She Belongs To Me And You Belong To Him
“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

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?

{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
