Adriana's POV.I rolled my eyes after my first wave of shock hit me.I didn't expect to see Caden here, and I didn't want to talk to him.I faced the door and walked away, my heart pounding in my chest as I went out of the door.I heard quick footsteps behind me and I knew it wasn't my bodyguard.The bodyguard already walked out immediately. I paused for a while when he called my name.I felt his hands on me, stopping immediately I walked out.He was still breathing heavily but calm now. His eyes never left me.I pulled my hands away from his, "Are you okay?" I snapped.His hands suddenly landed on my shoulders and stayed there."Let's talk." He said."What makes you think, I'm going to talk to you?" I asked."If you think I'll talk to you, you're wasting your time, I don't have anything to say to you."I said quickly."You need to listen to me, please." He pleaded softly.I stared at him in surprise, I can't imagine he would even try to plead with me, I turned away to leave when I noti
Massimo's POV.I stared at Michael, hoping he'll wake up from his coma immediately.The doctors in charge told me I should leave him to sleep a bit longer, but every time I left the room, I rushed back to see him immediately.I keep checking on him, my fear increasing every time.I frowned when I stared at the oxygen, hoping it'll make him wake up this instant.A sudden call jarred me from my thoughts, I rolled my eyes when I saw the caller ID."Why are you calling me?" I barked at my bodyguard."I'm sorry for disturbing sir." He said."Go on, did you accompany her to see her mom?" I asked."Yes sir, but she left the hospital hours ago, right now she's with Mr Caden." The bodyguard said."You told me to call if he comes around her." The bodyguard added."Where are you?" I asked, I could slowly feel my blood boiling.My hands were itching to punch something.I began clenching my hands tightly, the need to hit something almost overwhelming me."We're outside the café close to a men's cl
Massimo's POV.I woke up with a start, my hair sticking up in the back of my head from being ruffled by my Adriana last night.A smile reached my lips when I thought about us, I could see myself falling for her.I shook the thought off and stood up, rushing to the bathroom immediately.I turned on the shower, letting the warm water hit my face as I began to wash away all of the sweat.After finishing my routine, I grabbed some clean clothes and walked into the living room.My eyes landed on Adriana sitting on the couch reading, her hair was down, the waves of it cascading over her shoulders. She looked gorgeous."Good morning, I was waiting for you to finish." She said,"You should've joined me." I replied, her cheeks heated and she rushed into the bathroom immediately.I realized that we were actually in my room.I walked out of the room, to the parlor immediately and I heard my phone ring.It was the doctor's number, so I picked it up immediately."Hello, good morning doctor." I a
Adriana's POV.I can't believe I would enjoy my conversation with Michael, but it's been going well.He sure loves teasing as he did that everytime and chance he got.It made me laugh when I saw how he was also teasing to Massimo.His sense of humour was top notch to me, I couldn't help but giggle as he kept teasing me.I could see the fond look on his face whenever the two of them teased each other.He always looked so proud and amused while he did it. I couldn't help but smile everytime he said something.I began laughing now as he said something again, just to tease me once more.Michael laughed at my reaction as he continued teasing and teasing me back.At this point I thought I would die because of happiness, I felt relaxed and his energy was amazing."And you and Massimo are quiet the couple huh?" He asked in a teasing tone.I blushed immediately, "What are you talking about?!" I blurted out, my cheeks were red immediately.The night I spent with Massimo refreshed in my mind."S
Adriana's POV.I was shivering as I waited for a doctor to help him.I sighed in relief when I heard footsteps, I could see the doctor and nurse rushing towards him.The nurses carried him up and I followed them immediately, I stood outside waiting for them to finish.The thought of losing Massimo made my head throb painfully.I began pacing the room, biting my nails.Massimo's surgery would be tonight but I couldn't sleep at all.The bullet had to be taken out, and that meant a whole host of complications like sepsis or blood clots, or worse.He could die. My beautiful man could die on me.I shook my head, getting rid of the negative thoughts, he wouldn't die if they removed the bullet.The doctor was really good, he’ll have no problems removing it.I kept pacing the room, my headache increasing, my hands were beginning to tremble slightly.I bit my lip anxiously, I was scared, so very scared.My eyes began watering and I clenched my jaw as I continued to pace nervously.I didn't k
Adriana's POV."I'm his ex." She said,I somehow knew this already, but I wondered why she was here.I brushed it off immediately, I didn't really care, all I cared about was Massimo waking up.His condition really scared me, I paced the room again as I stared at the bed.I watched her sit down close to him touching his hands, "Please I hope you wake up." She muttered.I also hoped for that and I wished whoever shot him gets punished.The door opened revealing Michael, I ran to his side immediately."Why are you here?" I wondered who let him out of his hospital room."I got discharged." He replied and I nodded slowly."That's good, but you don't seem completely fine." I said and he nodded, staring at Massimo."I've made the police check the CCTV, the culprit will be certainly caught soon." He said and I nodded."I hope he wakes up, can't believe we've both landed in the hospital." Michael said."Yeah, I can't believe it either." I gripped my hands nervously."Why are you here Jamie?" M
Adriana's POV."How are you?" I asked, trying to keep a false bravado.I didn't want to seem like I just confessed my feelings and he heard me."I'm fine." he replied, still staring at me.I stared at him, trying to see if he was alright, I sighed in relief."I'm glad you're okay." I said sitting close to him, I avoided his gaze.I stood up when the door opened and the doctor came in."Mr Massimo, you're awake." The Doctor said."Let me check how you're faring." He said checking Massimo's vitals."Are you feeling alright? Does your head hurt?"Mussimo shook his head. "Just fine.""Good." the doctor smiled at us, "You can be discharged.""Thank you!" I said to the doctor as he was about to leave."I hope we'll have more opportunities to meet again.""But outside the hospital." I added and he laughed.Doctor nodded. "Yes, I would like that."He left the room and I followed him, closing the door."It's time for us to go." I said and Massimo nodded.We somehow left the hospital minutes la
Adriana's POV.I flushed when I remembered our night together, I'm sure my cheeks were totally red right now.I stared at his sleeping figure, he was still sound asleep.I stood up to the bathroom immediately, taking a long, hot shower in an attempt to cool myself down.I still felt sore from all the sex we had last night, the memory of how it all started is still fresh in my mind as if it just happened yesterday. It made me smile.He knew how to use his hands, he touched me just the way I wanted.My body was completely warm with desire and it kept sending shivers down my spine. I couldn’t stop smiling, my stomach did flips every time I thought about what had happened between us last night.As much as I enjoyed our sex, I still felt like something was missing.I know we confessed our love for each other, but something was missing somehow.It was hard to put into words, but I felt like we needed something more from each other than we could get from any other person and we didn't have th
Adriana sat quietly on the bed, staring between the debtor who was speaking too fast, and Massimo, whose grin was just too wide, wondering about what they were talking about that had gotten them so excited.The doctor shook Massimo’s hand again, for what felt like the hundredth time before walking away with his briefcase clutched tightly in his hands.It was until after he had walked out that Adriana found her voice, and with a force, she croaked out;“What is happening? Why’s the doctor so excited?”The last thing she could remember was having a head-splitting headache. The one that had weakened her and made her faint, and now, seeing Massimo so happy as soon as she opened her eyes made it all so confusing.“I am talking to you, Massimo!” She exclaimed, causing Massimo to stop. He gently sat close to her on the bed, draped his arm around her shoulder, and with that grin still plastered across his face, he said to her;“You’re pregnant.”At first, Adriana was very sure she didn’t hear
Amy’s POVWith my plane tickets in my hand, I dragged my heavy suitcase through the airport terminal, and at the same time, ducking to prevent myself from being seen by one of my many enemies.It’s been three weeks since I killed Caden and made away with Adriana’s money, and ever since then, I’ve been literally watching my shadow.Everyone and everything seemed to creep me out, even the sound of random songs playing on the radio. I couldn’t help but think that I was being watched, and that was why I decided to leave the country.One of the reasons I decided to leave the country though was because I knew that the police were street me for killing Caden and taking part in a kidnap scheme. They also wanted to arrest me for theft and I couldn’t let that happen.Adriana’s money had been long deposited in one of my accounts, and now, all I needed was to get my sorry ass out of this country before I got caught.Bouncing down the extremely clean walkway, I arrived at the check-in desk but as
Massimo’s POVI slowly pried my eyes open and smiled when I was met with Adriana’s pretty sleeping face. She slept soundly and for the first time since I knew her, she didn’t care if she was stark naked or not.It’s been a few days since Caden’s death and even as Jamie and her twin sister, Jannie served jail terms, Amy was still nowhere to be found,l.It was as if she had disappeared off the surface of the earth with my money, and even as the police had set out search parties for her, placing them in several points around the city, none had been able to come up with information concerning Amy; it was alarming.My train of thought was suddenly disrupted when my phone screen came on, and a text notification popped up on the screen. I groaned in frustration when I discovered that the interruption was none other than Jessica and I frowned as I thought about what she might want now.Picking up the phone, I clicked on the message she had sent after I had finished reading through it, and I f
Adriana‘s POVAs soon as I tried to run, I was immediately tackled to the ground by four lunatics who suddenly realized I was some sort of trophy that could be transported from one place to the other just for them to make money off me.In desperation, I screamed out for help but it was nowhere to be found. I thrashed violently in their hold, wanting to free myself but there was no way I could stand the chance against four people who seemed as though they were high on steroids.“Let me go! Let go of me, you psychopaths!” I yelled out fearfully, whilst praying that Massimo would walk in at this moment, and just as I did, I saw him drive in with a sleek Rolls Royce, moving as though he was a madman.At first, Caden seemed so shocked that Massimo had driven in that he stood frozen to a spot. Even Jamie was suddenly unmoving; it shocked me that one person had this much hold on them.“Let her go!” He growled, causing Jannie and Amy, the two people who still held on to me, to move away fright
Adriana’s POVI arrived at the scene about five minutes before the stipulated time, and even though Caden was nowhere to be found yet, I still couldn’t help but feel like something was terribly wrong.The place was eerily silent and so was my head. It was as if my mind had suddenly gone blank and I couldn’t conjure up even a single thought.Seizing this opportunity, I picked up my phone, and quickly sent a text to Massimo even though I wasn’t sure he wanted to talk to me yet, that is after taking a picture of the secluded place and then putting it on silent before tossing it under one of the chairs where it wouldn’t be easily seen by Caden.I bit my fingernails as I waited for Caden. Time moved torturously slow and every moment felt like I was waiting for years. Just when I was already beginning to think about going back home, a black sleek car pulled over and immediately, Caden stepped out.“Hey, you!” He called out almost too cheerfully but as soon as he saw the look of disdain tha
Adriana’s POV“Did you… did you just say you’re Massimo’s cousin?!” I stuttered with widened eyes. It was unbelievable!As if to further surprise me, he nonchalantly nodded his head at me, smiled in a way that seemed a little sheepish, and muttered; “I am, and I wasn’t lying when I said so.”Something about the way he talked made me suddenly begin to feel suspicious about him. I couldn’t help but remember that I had also felt this way about him during the first few days we met.He had this thing about him, this silent pride. One that made you know that he was a servant in this house but at the same time, you just knew that you couldn’t talk to him the way you talked to other servants.That pride he had was the only thing that stopped me from disbelieving him, so I rolled my eyes as I looked away.Suddenly, I remembered that Caden was somewhere waiting for me. He was probably pissed right now, and with I’m not this thought in mind, I snapped; “I don’t care if you’re Massimo’s father
Caden’s POVMy eyes widened in shock when I checked Anastasia’s pulse only to notice that it wasn’t moving at all! She wasn’t breathing and no matter what I did to resuscitate her, it wasn’t working!“Shit!” I cussed aloud, feeling fear begin to seep into my mind. I couldn’t call Amy for help now, especially when Anastasia had died during intercourse. I mean, how was I supposed to explain to her that I had killed a girl I’d been drilling when Lu called to tell me about Massimo without her flipping out?It was impossible!With a new kind of desperation settling at the back of my mind, I picked up my phone and called the first person that came to mind. Now, I didn’t care about getting money from Adriana anymore, all I cared about was hiding this crime in the best possible way.“Hello, Caden?” His deep baritone voice called out, momentarily startling me. It was Lu, and he seemed genuinely surprised that I was calling him back only a few seconds after our first call.“I need a favor!” I
Caden’s POV“Arrgh damn!” I moaned under my breath as I leaned back, watching Anastasia, a girl I had cast my sights on for a long time now, ride me. She groaned in pain when I smacked her ass but despite this, she didn’t stop. One thing I loved about her though was her endurance and her wildness… She was one of those few humans who could be pushed to the wall but would never retaliate.Again, I smacked her ass, smiling when she bit into her lips, drawing blood, and with a new fierce determined look in her eyes, she began bouncing on my throbbing manhood, whilst throwing her head back.The room was hot and smelled terrible. It smelled like tobacco and swear, with a mixture of bodily fluids and alcohol… and something else that I couldn’t quite place, something that smelled damp.Lying on my back made the smell even more difficult to bear. I felt suffocated and nauseated at the same time…if that was even possible; and if not for the fact that she was so good at what she was doing, I wo
Massimo’s POV“Are you suddenly deaf, Mr Grey?!” Lux barked at me, causing a few of his minions around us to burst into laughter, and even as insulting as that sounded, I still couldn’t find it in me to be mad.Right now, all I could think of was Dylan, my younger cousin who at this moment was standing behind me, putting up a brave front.I liked how he seemed fearless. I mean, it was in our family lineage to be domineering but at the same time, I knew that Dylan was faking it. From up here, I could notice the tiny insignificant stuff that no one else could; I could see how his hands shook almost unnoticeably and how his eyebrows twitched now and then. I’ve known this motherfvcker for quite a while now, he’s suffered some of my bullying and teasing, and so I knew that right now, he was petrified.“And who are you?!” Lux barked, shifting his attention from me to Dylan and immediately, I felt a sense of fear pass through me, and when Dylan wouldn’t speak, he added; “Massimo, are you
