Laura’s POV "So, have you heard anything from him yet?" My best friend, Daphne, asked as she hopped into my car."Would I be seething with anger if I did?" I spat at her, and she visibly recoiled before scoffing."Alessandro is such a strange, egoistic man, I can't even with him," Daphne uttered. "I mean, why would he break up with his first love and then ban her from his place?"Gritting my teeth angrily, I hit the steering wheel. "That arrogant bastard thinks he can humiliate me. He shouldn't worry, I'll repay him in tenfold. For now, I've decided to lay low until I hatch a plan."Three weeks had passed since Alessandro made his security team kick me out of his place and two months had passed since I last saw him in person.I had no idea what I had done to him that suddenly made him end our relationship three years ago.Alessandro and I went way back to middle school.We had dated for about a year while we were both sixteen and had broken up a year later.After middle school, I rel
Catherine’s POV "Babe, you won't believe what Dr Arnold told me the other day." Rita huffed from the other end of the line."Remind me who that is again," I said, throwing some plantain chips into my mouth. "Is he one of the interns or residents?""None. He's the newly transferred cardiologist," She divulged. "The round, stocky one who made a move on you the other day."My brows furrowed in mild confusion as I racked my brain, trying to remember who it really was, before it then clicked in my head.I could remember him now.According to what I had heard from the nurses, he had only recently gotten married to his fourth wife; a young lady in her early twenties, who many believed was just with him for his money.He had been divorced thrice due to his incessant cheating, but as it seemed, his young wife probably didn't care about it."Oh, I remember him now," I said. "Let me guess, he asked you out on a date."In the past, the scumbag of a man had asked me to go out with him on a dinner
Alessandro’s POV As I reviewed some documents on my MacBook, a knock came on the door."Come in." I muttered, raising my head from the computer for the first time in several hours.Today was the last day of the month which meant that I was thrice as busy as I usually was.I had to review each and every document from all the departments of my company by myself because I couldn't trust someone else with such a fragile work.Marco walked in, clutching an iPad with a folded of documents under his armpit."Here you go sir," He said, dropping the folder on my desk. "The team leader of the auditing department asked me to give this to you.""Okay, thanks." I nodded absentmindedly, as I averted my focus back to my work."Sir, I found something on Ma'am Catherine," He said, which grasped my attention instantly.I would always be interested in anything related to Catherine.She really had me wrapped around her pinky and I couldn't bring myself to feel ashamed about it.Without thinking, I flappe
Alessandro’s POV "Mister Superhero!" Leo yelled as I walked, well, limped toward them with my crutches.Seeing his cheshire grin made the whole ordeal I had undergone today worth it.Liam stood beside Catherine with a shy smile plastered to his face.His mum on the other hand had a nasty glare darted at me which I returned with a smile."Hello, Catherine," I greeted her. "The tw-""So you're the infamous superhero, huh?" She scoffed. "How ironic. With everything that you did to me, do you think you deserve to be called a superhero? If anything, you're a super jerk."If I said Catherine's words didn't have an effect on me, I would be lying to myself.I had always known that I had little to no hope of ever getting her back, but the way she had stared at me with disgust as she spat those words made my heart cut.Her eyes shone with vitriolic hatred as her glare on me became more intense.The ability to form an intelligent statement momentarily escaped me as I stared at her.Fuck, why di
Alessandro’s POV "Take me to Lennie." I instructed my driver, as I plopped onto the backseat of my Range rover.Lennie was the name of the kindergarten that the twins attended.Marco had found out about everything that was related to the place for me, a few days ago.Four days had passed since I was discharged from the hospital, and now, I was completely healed.I didn't have a need for either crutches or the large plaster of paris anymore.The fact that Catherine had really visited me still felt like a dream, no matter how many times I thought of it.Hell, she had even remembered my favorite stew and had cooked and brought it for me.The same Catherine that told me off for saving Liam and Leo.The same Catherine that glared at me and cursed me out.I had no idea what could have brought the sudden change in her, but I loved it.She had even apologized for speaking rudely to me, when I was and would always be the one in the wrong.I was the one that needed to kiss her feet and apologi
Catherine’s POV "Good afternoon, ma'am. How may I help you?" A young female receptionist uttered as I walked to the reception desk."Afternoon," I said, stifling the ire bubbling within me with a tight smile. "I'm here to see Alessandro.""Do you have an appointment with him?" She asked, and I shook my head.Fuck, I had forgotten that his company had very tight security.You could only see him if you had an appointment with him.The first and only time that I came here in the past, I had met a different receptionist who had mocked me when Alessandro refused to see me, even after I told the receptionist to tell him that I was his wife."It's really urgent," I said, and without waiting for a response, I trekked toward Alessandro's office."You can't go in, ma'am," The receptionist protested, as she trailed behind me, but I just ignored her and flung the door to Alessandro's open, without knocking.He was having a discussion with a middle aged man that I had never seen before.On seeing
Catherine’s POV "My drink has finished," I slurred, sliding the empty glass cup toward the bartender. "Give me more. I told you to give me the strongest mixture you have but you gave me something mild. I could sue you for not heeding to my instruction, you know?"The bartender, a young man in his early twenties, darted me a fed up look."Do you have anyone who you can call, ma'am?" He asked. "You're not in a condition to go home on your own at all.""Who said anything about going home?" I drawled. "There's nobody at home. Liam and Leo are currently having a sleepover at the daycare.""You'll have to go home eventually, Miss, and I'm really worried for you," He said, pouring a mixture into my cup.The moment I tasted the drink, I spat it out and darted the bar man a glare."You gave me soda?" I muttered, my throat burning as a result of the many mixtures of alcohol that I had consumed in the past one hour.After meeting with Lucas's mother to give her the news of her child's death, I
Catherine’s POV I giggled as Alessandro bit my lower lip to gain thorough access into the warmth of my mouth.Wild flames of erotic desire coursed through me like fire on dried leaves, as he ran his hands down my back and stopped to grab the round firmness of my butt.My pussy was wet and my panties was soaked in a copious amount of sensual juice.I wanted Alessandro so bad at that moment.I wanted his long fingers scissoring me to the crest of immense erotic fulfillment while his dexterous tongue worked my clit and left me longing and moaning for his huge cock.Gosh, I had truly missed his hands all over my body."Please," I whimpered into his mouth, as he squeezed my ass.Smirking, he broke the kiss and licked my helix which sent a great spark of sensual need coursing through my veins. "What do you want, baby?""You," I mewled, craning my neck to grant him access to every part of my ear. "I want you to fuck me."Although I was extremely drunk, I still knew that I shouldn't be doing
ONE YEAR LATERAllison's POV “Dinner is ready,” I announced, bringing out the tray of rotisserie chicken from the oven. “Leo and Aiden, are you done setting the table?”“Yes, baby.”“Yes, mummy.” Father and son replied in unison, as they entered the kitchen.After our wedding, Leo bought a mansion in Canada, and it was there that our little family lived now.He had told me that he decided to make Canada his permanent place of residence because of me. Mu close friends were here, and he didn't want me to be apart from them.Plus, my winery was also here. About a year ago, I finally reisgned from Leo's company and took over running the winery.So far, the experience had been quite exciting and rewarding, albeit challenging sometimes.“Hmm,” Leo closed his eyes and nodded in approval. “It smells so nice in here, my love.”“I eventually made the rotisserie chicken,” I replied, to which Aiden cheered. “with fried rice.”“And I bet it's gonna taste nicer than anything,” Leo said, walking up
Allison's POV “Where are you taking me?” I asked, cuffing my hands around Leo's wrist, as he led me out of the house, with his hands placed on my eyes, obstructing my vision.“It's a surprise, baby.” He said, and I could almost see him grinning mischievously.Three days had passed since our wedding, and in another three days, we were going to leave the country for our honeymoon in Greece.“Here we are,” Leo said, taking his hands off my eyes. “Have a look.”A gasp forced itself out of my throat when I saw a new black Mercedes Benz parked in the driveway, with a white bow taped to the trunk and the headlights.“How do you like it, my love? Is it to your taste?” Leo asked, as I gazed at the car in surprise.“It's perfect,” I whispered, shaking my head in happy disbelief. “I love it.”“I'm glad to hear that, honey,” Leo said, hooking an arm around my waist. “You love the color, right? Or would you like me to get someone to paint it to your desired colour?”“No, I love it like this,” I b
Leo's POV “You have a message,” Liam announced, gesturing to the gift bag he was holding, as he entered the room.Today was D-day. After many years of challenges, trials, and tribulations, Allison was finally going to be my wife just like I had always wanted.I had to pinch myself thrice when I woke up that morning, in order to be sure that I wasn't dreaming and today was really happening.“From who?” I asked, as he handed me the bag.“Allison.”My face softened with a wide grin as I retracted a burgundy velvet box from the bag.“I wonder what this is,” I muttered to myself, as I flipped the box open.My grin widened, to the point where my eyes creased when I saw the contents of the box; it consisted of a golden wristwatch, a pair of golden cufflinks to match with a golden pen.On the three items, my initials–LDS–was intricately inscribed on it.I couldn't help but feel warm and touched by her thoughtful, sentimental gifts, so I decided to forgo my initial choice of cufflinks and wri
Allison's POV“And I'm done,” Ophelia announced, after giving my face a final dab with the beauty blender. “You look ravishing, Allie.”Clasping my hands together to tame my nervous excitement, I breathed out. “So can I open my eyes now?”“Yes, most definitely.”Inhaling sharply, I flapped my eyes open and gasped on seeing my beautiful reflection in the mirror.Ophelia had hearkened my choice and instructions to the very least detail and had done a great job with both my face and hair.My makeup was a natural, dewy look that accentuated and drew more attention to my facial features rather than having a huge slab of foundation pasted on my face while my hair was tossed in a sleek, french bun with a diamond brooch inserted beside it.I looked like a princess who had just stepped out of a fairytale book, and I could barely hide my excitement as I assessed my face, a huge smile plastered to my face.“I look gorgeous,” I said. “You did a wonderful job, Lia, and I don't know if I'm ever gon
Allison's POV As I stepped out of the bathroom after taking a refreshing shower, my phone pinged with an incoming call.On seeing that it was Tasha calling, I smiled before answering the call and pressing the phone to my ear.“Babe, you have to come to the balcony right now,” Tasha started with a tone of urgency. “Something happened.”My heart did a back flip as goosebumps instantly crowded my entire body. “What happened? Is Aiden okay?”“Just come quickly, alright? We are waiting for you.” She said, before hanging up.Swallowing harshly, I flung my phone on the bed before making my way to the closet to grab a casual outfit, while hoping everyone was alright.Fuck, I genuinely hoped nothing bad had happened on the eve of my wedding.That would be a sign of bad luck and I didn't want that. I just wanted to have my happily ever after with Leo, Aiden, and possibly our future children.We were currently lodged in a hotel in Las Vegas, as that was the destination of our wedding.Leo, his
Leo's POV “Stop it, can't you see that Aiden is here?” Allison scolded me, as I slotted my hand beneath her shirt to cup her breasts.The three of us were sitting on a sofabed in the private sitting room of my beach house in Turkey. Three days had passed since I proposed to Allison and we officially became a soon-to-be married couple.The rest of our family were currently at the other side of the beach house. I had designed the building of the beach house in such a way that my little family and I could have our own private time whenever we wanted, without any disturbance.“But his attention is fixated on Mickey mouse. He can't see us.” I argued, sliding my hand in between her legs which earned me a smack on the shoulder followed by a glare.As I made to defend myself yet again, my phone vibrated with a message.Reading through the text message which was sent by my mum, I smiled. “Mum and Dad are going for a walk downtown and they want to take Aiden with them.”“A walk with grandma an
Allison's POV “Baby, you forgot to tie your shoelace properly,” Leo scolded, as we walked out of the garden to have lunch in the balcony.Along with Leo's parents, siblings, sister in law and Aiden, we were currently at Leo's vacation house in Turkey having fun.A week had passed since the twenty seventh wedding anniversary of Leo's parents, and in all honesty, the celebration had yet to end.After the huge party that happened that day, Mr Alessandro and Ma'am Catherine hosted an intimate dinner among thier close family and friends to mark the occasion.Truly, it was good to be wealthy in a classy manner.I had also gotten the opportunity to meet Ma'am Catherine's best friend, Rita, who reminded me so much of an older version of Tasha.Their friendship was really wholesome and cute, and I could only hope Tasha and I turned out like the both of them in the future.As I made to bend down to tie my shoelaces, a quick realization struck me; I was wearing beach slippers and not sneakers o
Allison's POV “Ophelia called just now. They are leaving very soon, so we have to be on our way now.” Leo announced, as I helped Aiden into his shoes.“Alright, we are ready,” I said then averted my gaze to Aiden. “Right, baby?”“Yes, mummy!” He beamed like a Cheshire cat. “We are ready to meet uncle Liam and Aunty Lia.”Today was the twenty-seventh wedding anniversary of Leo's parents, and so, we were currently in America to celebrate the beautiful occasion with them.To me, they were the most adorable couple that I had ever seen and met.They both loved each other so much and Mr Alessandro always seemed to be worshipping the ground his wife stepped on. He looked at her with so much adoration and love and it was just so heartwarming.“Fuck, I can't believe I forgot,” Leo said, moments later as he parked the car in the driveway of the event center. “What did you forget?” I huffed incredulously, to which Leo smiled before pressing a quick, chaste kiss to my lips.“This and I also for
Allison’s POV “You look ravishing, baby,” Leo complimented as he walked into the room, a smirk plastered to his lips as he regarded my body. “Thanks, babe.” I darted him a quick smile before returning my attention to my reflection in the mirror and putting finishing touches to my makeup. I was clad in a figure-hugging lilac dress that stopped past my knees while my feet were slid in a pair of violet heels and my purse was silver. “What do you say we cancel the date and just stay home?” He suggested coming behind me to lock his arm around my waist. “We can always N*****x and chill, my love.” “I'm sorry, horndog but that isn't happening,” I said, then pressed a kiss to the corner of his lips and eased myself out of his hold to grab my purse from the dresser. “By the way, I thought we were meeting at the restaurant. What changed?” “Nothing, I just decided to come pick you and Aiden up.” He shrugged. “And I don't regret changing my mind because I've got a lovely view of your ethereal
