"I like the sound of that." She replied with a bright grin on her beautiful face."Let's go over there, shade and lounge chairs are there." He pointed towards where some set of palm trees was. "We cannot be under the sun throughout our stay. Although the sun is not too hot, it is still not good."Megan spotted some lounge chairs and shades over there, beneath the palm trees. Her eyes lit up and she looked at him in surprise. "Those were there all this while?" They looked hidden but from their position, they had a good view of the sea."Yes.""How come I did not see them since we arrived here?" Leo shrugged, his eyes filled with amusement. "I don't know. Maybe you just did not look enough." He carried the basket and began to walk towards the shade, she followed behind him. They reached the chair and he set the basket on the table in between the chairs. She settled down on the chair beside his own. There were other chairs around too."Would you like to eat something now?" "Yes, pleas
Megan smiled brightly at the expression on his face when he uttered those words. His eyes were warm and his expression was tender. At least, he cares about her. He was worried that she might be hurt if he did not tell her about Ella Woods. She was happy that he was opening up to her gradually, at least, her hard work to make him love her back was beginning to pay off. The tranquil waters of Lake Como shimmered in the late afternoon sun, their glassy surface reflecting the lush, verdant slopes that embraced the shoreline "Would you like to go and take a swim?" Leo asked. Megan looked at the blue inviting water. "Yes." She replied. "Ok. Let's go." He stood up and began to remove his clothes, he took off his shirt and his shorts followed leaving him with only his swimming briefs. The sun's golden rays shone on his golden skin. He looked like a tanned god that just fell from the skies. "What are you doing still lying on the chair? Get your sexy ass up and stop staring at my body like you
Leo opened the door to his villa and she entered inside, she walked to the living and yelped in fright. She saw a woman sitting in the living room, she was wearing a black long-sleeved dress, a black boot heel, black big sunglasses, and a black hat. Her lipstick looked dark too and Megan noticed that she was staring in her direction. She looked like a female grim reaper.She rubbed her chest trying to calm her frantic heartbeat. Does this person want to kill her before her time?"Mom? What are you doing here?" Leo asked from behind her then he came to stand by her side.Megan's eyes widened when the woman removed her glasses. It was really his mother."What kind of question is that? Can't I visit my son? Is that a crime?" Delphine asked with a jutted chin. "You are making me seem like a bad mother.""I am not saying it is a crime and you are certainly not a bad mother. How did you know I was in Italy?" His voice was dry as if he had encountered situations like this multiple times."Of
Megan waited for his mother to leave before she swung around to face Leo. "Why would you treat your mother that way?""What way?" His voice was calm."You know the way I am talking about." "Well sorry to burst your bubbles, I don't know what way you are referring to, my dear Megan." His voice held no hint of remorse and it provoked her.She took a deep breath, silently asking for patience and control. "Why are you treating your mother like she is not meant to come here and she is disturbing your peace.""Because she is. She knows fully well that she is not meant to come here. My family knows that this is my private area, my resting place away from the world and business." "I did not realize that but it was still no way to treat her. You also lied to her.""When did I lie?" She put her hand on her waist, staring at him like he was not serious. "What?" When he saw how she was looking at him."You lied that we have plans but the truth is that we don't have plans for this night or did y
"Let's head inside so we can move on to our dinner." She led her further into the house. Megan could not help but admire the beautiful masterpiece. "Do you like it?" Delphine asked"Yes. It's beautiful." The expansive living room is dominated by a soaring, double-height ceiling, adorned with ornate, intricate moldings and a stunning crystal chandelier that casts a warm, welcoming glow over the area. The walls are paneled in a neutral, creamy tone giving it a cool nice vibe. Plush, oversized sofas and armchairs in a soft, muted gray palette are arranged in a conversational grouping. Emphasizing the seating area are gleaming, polished side tables and coffee tables with sleek, modern lines. To finish it all, lush, verdant potted plants and artfully arranged floral displays added a touch of natural beauty and vibrancy to the space."Thank you," Delphine replied.They moved to the dining table where the food was arranged. The dining room was bathed in a warm, inviting glow, with the roari
By the time they started to eat, the storm had fully begun. It was raining heavily like Alfonso said it would. The dining table was filled with all sorts of delicacies, ranging from lobster, chicken scarpariello, Risotto alla Milanese, Braciole, and so on. Some that she did not know what their name was. They ate while having small discussions. The dinner felt intimate and warm. She realized that she loved gatherings like this. Maybe it was because she did not do stuff like that most time when she was younger. "So when is your wedding?" Delphine questioned abruptly.Megan choked on her food, and Leo patted her back while she coughed out. Again. What was with her sudden questions? A heads-up will be needed sometimes."Here have some." He handed her a glass of water and she drank it. She swallowed and dropped the cup on the large dining table. "Are you okay?" Leo asked, his dark eyes staring into her eyes."Yes. I'm fine.""Oh, darling. Did I startle you with my question, I am sorry."
"Yes, you heard me well. I will have to schedule your surgery sooner than expected.""But why?" "When we did your test right before you traveled, I did not notice a major issue in your heart condition but I suddenly saw it today when I was reviewing your test results today. I apologize for not noticing it sooner. I will advise that you take things easy for now till your surgery, when you get back from your trip, I will brief you on the remaining things. Also, I would advise they you inform a family member who would be able to sign your approval for the surgery. That is all.""Thanks, doctor, I will make sure that I visit you when I get back from my trip." "Please make sure you do." He reminded then cut the call.Megan stood there for a while staring at the lawn as rain fell on the green grass. She wrapped her hand around her body, the wind howled and the rain pattered against the floor, the sound of an approaching thunder could be heard."What are you doing out here?"Megan whirled
Hearing those words was like a balm to her soul. She wrapped her arms around him and showered his face with kisses. Leo chuckled when she drew back."You don't know how long I have waited for those words. I love you, Leonardo. Tell me you love me again.""I love you, Cara.""Will you say it again, my love? I want to hear it again." She asked."What will I get in return?" He cocked his head to the side, his eyes were heavy and hot on her.You already have all of me. I don't know what else I am to give you.""Kiss me. I want to taste your lips once more."Megan wrapped her hand around his neck and stood on her toes and kissed him on his soft lips, he immediately responded by wrapping his hand around her waist and deepening the kiss, he was exploring her mouth, his hand moved from her waist to her hips and he rubbed himself against her. He was already getting hard."This is what you are doing to me?" His voice was hoarse. "Let's go upstairs to my room." He said, his head rested on her fo
