The next morning when I woke up, I was alone in bed and I wondered for a while if I had dreamed about him coming to sleep with me last night.But when I got out of my room after freshening up, I saw Alexander sitting on the couch reading a magazine while sipping coffee and James was nowhere to be seen.“Good morning.” I greeted and he turned his head towards me and smiled softly as our eyes met.“Good morning, Bellissimo (beautiful). You slept well?” He asked and I nodded, then passed him to get to the kitchen but he stopped me.“Sit down, I’ll prepare a delicious breakfast for both of us.” He offered while standing up after putting away the magazine.“Haven’t you eaten yours already?” I was confused as he was already sipping on his coffee when I emerged from the room.He shook his head, with a smile. “I was waiting for you to wake up. I only drank the coffee, not eaten anything yet.” I pursed my lips, disapprovingly.“It’s not healthy, Alex.”“What?”“Drinking coffee on an empty stom
Alexander: (I)I was working on the laptop in the study when my phone started ringing. I saw the caller ID and my eyebrows knitted together.“May I ask why I got lucky enough to get your call?” I demanded after accepting the call.“To ask you where have you hid my sister?!” He growled.“I think you’re drunk right now. We’ll talk tomorrow, okay? Now go to sleep!” I mocked.“Oh please, stop this nonsense because I’m serious Alexander. Tell me where she is and I’ll leave you alone.” He demanded and I sat up straight.“What are you talking about? When I left, she was in her room.”“She’s not there. I went to her room to talk to her but she had already left with her bag.” He explained.“Maybe she returned to NYC, early?!” I presumed but he was tsking.“No, I checked all the flight data and her name isn’t on any list.” He was desperate and sounded agitated.“Okay, calm down. I’ll try on her number. It means that she’s out there, somewhere so we’ll find her soon.” I exclaimed.“Yeah, tell me
Alexander: (II)“What is it?” We both asked at the same time. She gave each of us an envelope with our names on it. James quickly tore the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper. He read it urgently and then cursed.“What did she write?” I asked out of curiosity and he simply handed me the letter. It said; “I am very glad to tell you that by the time you will be reading this, I have already left the country. You tried again to use me for your benefit, but now I am no longer the old Isabella you used to bully, ordering her around and she would do anything for your compassionate gaze! I’m leaving, never to return, with the conviction that if you have ever loved our parents in the slightest, you will stay away from me and let me make the decisions of my life freely, happily. As I go along, I would like to make a confession that I have always loved you immensely, and always respected you as my brother. But you took away both my child and my love from me so now I hate you more than the l
Isabella:It has been 6 months since my escape and I hadn’t gotten any idea about Alexander’s doings. I was working day and night to compensate for the vacations I took, to visit my brother. When I arrived back, I went to Saira and she kept hugging me for 20 minutes and when she let go of me, her eyes held tears.John was also concerned about me but then I assured him that it would be a jet-lag and nothing else. Only Saira knew about everything that I endured there till my well-planned escape.I was keeping myself busy so that I wouldn’t be able to think about Alexander for even a second, but when I went to bed every night my body craved for him like an addict craved for a drug. I knew that he cared for me but sometimes I doubted that maybe he’d move on and fall in love with another woman who was free from all the insecurities and family drama, who was perfect like him and this thought alone was always enough to undo me. I kept trying to maintain my calm, to keep my temper under contr
It was one a Sunday morning and I was sitting on my couch, drinking a hot cup of fresh coffee checking my emails and also waiting for Saira to wake up. She stayed with me last night and we watched a movie together. I couldn’t remember the last time I slept in. Every time I tried, I just ended up lying there, staring up at the ceiling.Yeah, I’m pathetic but I can’t do anything about it!Today was the last day of the week I gave myself to wait for his return but after tonight, I’ll never give him a thought or even hope for anything.My phone alerted me about a message I received. I opened up the text which came from Jan. He wrote to me that he was flying in the evening and I told him that I’d be at the airport, to see off. I smiled after sending him the message.“Why are you smiling?” Saira asked out of nowhere and I jumped. When the hell did she come out?“Oh, nothing. I was just texting Jan, he’s going back in the evening.” I told her & she sighed.“Good morning by the way. I was wai
...I was sprawled on the couch, looking at the time as it was racing and the day had come to an end & he hadn’t arrived yet. Maybe I’m not as important to him as he is, to me and this thought was killing me, twisting a knife in my chest.Suddenly, I heard a loud knock on the door and I jumped out, I abruptly ran towards the door and opened it just to witness a strange man in a Pizza Hut employee uniform.“What?” I asked him irritably.“Ma’am, is this Condo 601?” He asked in a professional tone and I nodded.“Sorry for being late, Ma’am. It was hard for me to estimate the exact location.” He apologized and then handed me a box of pizza.“But I didn’t order it,” I told him and this time he looked confusingly at me.“Then maybe your boyfriend did because a man called and placed the order.” He explained and my blood boiled at the mention of ‘my boyfriend’.“I can’t take it because I’m sure that it’s a misunderstanding as I don’t have a boyfriend and I live here, alone.” I handed back the
I was drawing rough sketches on the paper for ideas when Saira entered the office but stopped when she saw the floor which was almost covered with balls of discarded papers and I was getting frustrated with the time. “Isabella baby, don’t do this to yourself, please. Eat something, you need to take a proper rest as your body still hasn’t recovered from the shock.” She exclaimed with concern and I huffed in annoyance. “I’m fine, Saira. I just want to…. I don’t need rest, I need new ideas to draw but it’s…..” “Hey, I know you’re pretending to be okay but you’re not and that’s normal because what you have been going through emotionally is far from ‘okay’ but I assure you that everything will be alright soon. Just have some faith!” She came closer to me and rubbed my back to comfort me but it never works nowadays. I got the memory of that last moment back after 5 days of returning from the hospital and it broke me down again, utterly. John and Saira were there to keep me on my feet but
A knock on the door alerted me about a visitor and I walked to the door and opened it just to find John standing there, with a friendly smile on his charming face.“Hello, good evening. How are you doing today without any office work?” I stepped back so that he could enter.“I was going through my emails before you knocked on the door,” I replied and then gestured to him to sit down on the sofa while I settled back on the couch with my laptop in my lap.“Oh….how can you work that much, without any rest?!” He asked curiously and I shut down the lid of the laptop, stood up from the couch and went to the kitchen.“Here. I hope you like it!” I gave him the platter of my baked cupcakes and he moaned after taking a bite.“Isabella dear, you’re a superwoman I must say. Amazing!!” And my lips automatically curved up a little.“Ohhhh you’re SMILING…” He shouted out with joy and I stared at him funnily.“To answer your question; I can do that much work because I have nothing to do except have d
ISABELLA:Under the cool, soft sheets of our bed, I tried to conjure up the feeling of it. Still being honest; I was rarely able to touch myself because for a long time, I had Alex around and since then, I wasn’t even forced to think about giving myself pleasure but now when he’s gone…. I don’t even know where to start. I couldn’t remember the last time I gave myself an orgasm in all these years.I wanted to not call Alex and ask him to do me a favour this late as I knew the great time zone difference between New York and Rome. He’s gone for about a week and a half and since then I was feeling so much desperate to have him back again in my arms, want to feel his gentle touch on my 8 months swollen belly and I need his cock to be buried inside my wetness as my libido was very much getting out of my control. During the past week, I called him at odd hours of the day and begged him to make me come just one time and he
2 years later:“Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday to dear Olivia… Happy Birthday to you!!” Everyone chanted around Olivia who was eyeing her huge birthday cake with her big beautiful blue eyes. It’s her second birthday and she was enchanted by the decorations and arrangements we made at the event. She was more like Alex, both look-wise and also nature-wise. She was also obsessed with me like her father as they both never leave me alone in their presence. They both love to shower their kisses on me from time to time and sometimes frustrate me with their unreasonable lovey-dovey. She also never let Alex and me have alone time together and that’s why we have been both sexually frustrated for a year.Right now, she was with me and Alex was standing beside me in front of the cake. He kissed her cute chubby pink cheek and she giggled. I chuckled while everyone was awed as she wrapped eve
3 and a half years later:I was moving around in the kitchen with a round belly, making strawberry smoothie for me as I had a craving. I was almost 19 weeks pregnant and I was starting to feel backaches, and dizziness, and also my feet swelled up a bit.I had an appointment 2 days ago for the determination of gender and we’re having our first child, a girl. Alex and I were so excited and we were trying to make every moment special even before her birth. We had both already chosen our daughter’s name as we will call her, ‘Olivia Alessa Salvatore’.Alex and I decided to get married 3 months ago and we got married the next week after the decision because we couldn’t wait to be together for the rest of our lives as husband and wife.Thankfully, William accepted our relationship very maturely and didn’t approach me in a way other than professional as I was expecting. We worked together as a
When we entered Alexander’s penthouse, I went straight to the bedroom after hanging the coat on the stand. Alexander followed behind me, like a lost puppy.I put my purse on the dressing table and then turned around, Alexander stopped near me. He was breathing heavily & his eyes were dark, filled with desire & need. He pulled me to him & leaned his head closer, looking straight into my eyes, his warm breath hitting my cheeks. “You can’t escape from me now. I need you more than air, dolcezza (honey)!” He said, his tone dropping an octave, coming out barely a whisper & so deep that my poor heart forgot how to beat for a moment.“Then why wait…?” I challenged him with a seductive smile.As Alexander was waiting for the invitation, he closed the distance & put his mouth on me, successfully turning my brain off as the only thought left was how good his lips felt
I wore a nude high-slit flower appliqued gown for the evening. The gown had a sweetheart bodice with one shoulder straps along with a side-high split skirt. Saira and John, both were in awe after seeing me in it and they were sure that I’d make Alexander crazy for me more than ever.John went to bring Alex to the venue which was my company’s hall I designed specifically for these kinds of evenings while Saira and I applied some natural makeup for the perfect look. Saira was wearing an embroidered plunging neckline navy blue satin A-line long gown which was sleeveless with a deep V back. She was looking gorgeous and I knew that she wore it just to make John go wild with desire for her.Around 8 in the evening, everyone started to gather and I went to the entrance to welcome them all. Everyone was congratulating me on my success and hard work. I thanked Edward for always being a support system and he turned crimson, making me grin at his blus
We spent most of the weekend in bed; cuddling, making out, giving pleasure to each other or simply talking about simple things. We made up for the time we were apart & Alexander also cooked Italian cuisine for me. He was good at cooking & I won’t complain if he continues to spoil me like that. I baked some chocolate cupcakes for him and we watched a movie together in the evening before dinner.After dinner, I remembered that I didn’t check my phone the whole day so when I picked it up, it showed me 20 missed calls from William and 3 messages from Saira. William didn’t message me so I called him back to ask. While the bell was ringing on the other side, Alexander came up from my behind, circling his arms around me and plastering my back to his front. He started nibbling on my jaw & neck making my lips part on their own accord.“Hello, Isabella?” William’s voice rang in my ear and I gulped down the moan tha
He closed his eyes, defeated. “To Remus, your brother.”“Yes. That’s why... that’s the reason for all the attitude… I thought that you wouldn’t believe me & leave me this time, forever. I just... I’m stupid & a selfish bastard, I just… I’m sorry to hurt you, unintentionally.” He apologized with a weak smile.“But my brother? How is this possible?” I half-listened what he said.“It’s my fear and that’s all. I..uh… William was the man he wanted you to seduce. I had known him through your brother but he didn’t know me, I presume.” He explained.“So, You’re saying that James doesn’t send him here, right?” I asked for confirmation & he nodded in agreement. My tensed body instantly relaxed in his arms. I laid my head down on his chest, calming my raging heart.“Thank, God. Or else
Alexander continued to act coldly towards me and I stopped trying to talk to him. His attitude was confusing & strange but I assumed that he’s just going through an extreme jealousy timeline. Although he’s living with me, not sharing a room but a roof that’s not very discouraging for me. I knew that he was not getting much sleep for days but he wouldn’t accept it either. I still have hope that he’ll get over that hurt & come back to me and then I’ll explain everything to him, spill out all my insecurities & doubts about us. Till then, I just have to wait & see where it goes!John was giving most of the time to his own company as he was working in my office in previous days to support me. Saira was also very busy managing the PR department so that’s why I didn’t get the chance to share anything with her. A lot is going on out there and I understand how difficult it can be to handle social affairs,
William leaned back and turned his head towards him. I was also looking at Alexander, trying to gauge his reaction but he kept his instance neutral like he doesn’t care, I know he does!“Who are you?” William spoke first, breaking the uncomfortable silence.“I’m Alexander Salvatore. And you’re William Wilson, I guess!” He started calmly. My eyes widened at his casualness but he’s not looking at me.“Oh, so you already know my name. Are you my fan?” William asked sheepishly and I rolled my eyes while Alexander huffed in annoyance.“I know your name because I’m Isabella’s fan.” He growled and I stood up abruptly from my seat. If I don’t stop him here, he’ll spill out something that I wasn’t ready to tell anyone yet.“Alexander, is everything alright?” I interjected before William uttered anything.“Yeah, ever
