"Lisa, we have to leave for dinner now," Brad yelled while wearing his watch.
"Coming." Lisa wore her shoes and run downstairs.
"Am I looking presentable?" Lisa asked with a nervous smile.
She chooses to wear an empire waist dress and tied her hair into a ponytail and she kept her face natural without applying any sort of makeup.
"Whatever you wear, you look beautiful my queen." Brad hold her waist and planted a kiss on the back of her hand.
"Thank you." Lisa turned bright red.
"Ti Amo," Brad whispered in her ear.
"What did you say?" Lisa thought she had heard wrong.
"I love you, Signorine." Brad cupped her cheeks and confessed his feelings.
Lisa blinked her eyes
Once
Twice
Thrice
And one by one big crystal clear drop of tears scrolled down her eyes.
"I am sorry if I hurt you." Brad panicked and kissed her tears.
"Did you really mean what you said
"Boss, our oil supplying ship is attacked and we have lost a lot of our casino men and money," Max reported on the phone. "What about Elijah?" Damien asked and quickened his pace towards his car. "He is waiting for his ship onshore." Max was breathing heavily. "Change the plan. Don't inform cops. Gather some of our men and make sure his ship to destroy that damn ship of his." Damien ordered while gritting his teeth. He had given Elijah more freedom than he deserves, and its time to snatch all his confidence and power. Max did as Damien said and ordered men to cover the shore. Five of them dived into the sea. Elijah was importing illegal drugs and diamonds covered under a layer of coal and kerosene oil. One of Damien's man managed to enter the ship through a small hole which leads to the supplies. While the other four were meant to distract Elijah's men. The one who was in a suffocating room with heavy tons of kerosine oil
On the other end, Amara opened her eyes slowly. She felt a sharp pain in her G spot. It was as if someone had torn her apart. To her surprise, Ivan had untied her hands and feet. Amara managed to stand on her feet and wore her jeans. Her face was white as a sheet and her body was numb. First, she confirmed no one was there and then scurried away from Ivan's house. Her legs were trembling due to intense pain but she somehow managed to stop a taxi and drove to her apartment. She rang the bell and it was her father who opened the door. "Dad!" Amara hugged her father and cried out. "What happened honey?" Mr.Mancini gently asked his daughter. "Dad I have something important to tell you." Amara managed to control her emotions. Her voice was determined. "First come in." Mr.Mancini closed the door and called his wife. "What happened to you, Amara? You look weak and tired." Julie hugged Amara and her brows furrowed. "Did
Lisa and Brad thought to give this news to Damien and Celestine first. The next very day, they drove to the Romano mansion. "Cele!" Lisa saw Celestine on the couch reading a magazine. She called her with enthusiasm. "Lis, what a pleasant surprise." Celestine sprung up to her. "We have something important to say." Brad held Lisa's hand and kissed her. Celestine smiled at Lisa. "You two are here." Damien walked downstairs and stood beside Celestine. "Old man and Lilith approved our relation and we are getting married next month," Brad announced with a grin. "What? When did this all happen?" Celestine glared at Lisa. "Don't be angry. I'll tell you everything." Lisa coaxed Celestine. "Before you two proceed further, there is a secret of your life Lisa. You should be aware of that." Damien tugged his hands into his trousers pocket. "What do you mean by my secret?" Lisa and Brad both shared a confused look. "A
The next day there was a commotion downstairs. Celestine groaned in annoyance and left her bed to take a morning shower. She then completed her morning chores and went downstairs to see what was happening. Athena was ordering around maids and a lot of designer clothes were lined up with diamond, gold, and silver jewelry. "Oh, Celestine choose a dress for yourself too. I and Damien are getting engaged next week." Athena smiled sweetly and walked up to her. "It is useless to stay here and burn your heart." Athena was wearing high heels which made her look taller than Celestine. She bent her head and whispered in Celestine's year. "Congratulations Athena! By the way, there is no need to worry about me and why would I leave? I have the future heir of Romano empire in my womb." Celestine smirked "You think too highly of yourself little slut. Once I will give birth for Damien, he won't acknowledge this illegitimate bastard." Athena ridiculed h
"There is no more engagement ceremony. I am sorry for all this commotion. You all can leave." Mathilda politely bowed her head and send off the guests."Happy to see you again Mathilda" Lilith and Mr.Winthrop hugged her and shed happy tears."My girlfriend is back." Brad wiped his tears and hugged Mathilda. It was a happy and emotional moment for the Romano family."It is not good for her health to stand for too long." Emma reminded them.Damien was still in shock. Elijah and Damien helped their mother to walk into the house. Damien adjusted cushions behind her back and both brothers sat on the floor with their heads on their mother's lap. They all teared up seeing the emotional and unconditional love between mother and their child. Celestine smiled and rubbed her protruding belly.Maira, Lisa, Brad, and Mr. and Mrs.Winthrop left the family to spend time and resolve their inner conflicts."Zhavia lead Doctor Emma to the guest room," Celestine ordered."No, i
It was night when Celestine woke up. She looked around the familiar room and smiled. At last, there was no serious damage instead it was good that Damien found her mother and brother back."Are you hungry?" Damien walked in wearing a white loose shirt and black sweatpants. He was like a painter to her eyes."Yes, I want to eat crayfish, salmon, and Mexican pasta." Celestine licked her lips and nodded her head like a little rattle drum."You are not allowed to eat spicy food." Damien turned down her request."Then I won't eat anything." Celestine pouted and refused to talk with Damien."OK. Then you can stay hungry." Damien smirked and left the room. Celestine looked at him with shock. She thought he would agree but he did not care for her. Tears started rolling down her eyes and she sobbed.Damien returned to the room with her ordered dishes and found her crying hard."Baby, why are you crying? Did you got hurt?" Damien panicked and examined h
"Grandma" Emma jumped down the stairs and hugged her grandmother. "Mrs.Green, I want to have a talk with you." Mathilda politely said and glanced at Emma and Elijah with a smile. "Yes dear." Mrs.Green walked out to garden. "I know I am being hasty but I really liked Emma. She is a sweet girl." Mathilda paused and smile. Mrs.Green could guess what was coming next. "I want to ask for Emma's hand, for my son Elijah." Mathilda finally said. "I am happy to hear that child but its her life and I can't decide on her behalf." Mrs.Green was happy about Emma. Finally! She too was going to settle. "Then let's go in and talk to her." Mathilda and Mrs.Green walked in and smiled at each other. "Emma what do you think about my son?" Mathilda asked taking her hands. "He is a nice guy." Emma smiled bashfully and lowered her head to hide her blushed cheeks. "Then what if I ask you to marry him?" Mathilda looked at her nervo
Seven months passed in a blink and it was the month of delivery. Celestine laid in the bed, caressing her big round belly. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and Celestine yelled in pain. "Damien!!!" She yelled with all the strength she had. "Damien gets the car ready, her water has broken. Mathilda yelled and helped Celestine to leave the bed. She was drenched in a cold sweat. Damien rushed to her and swept her up in his arms. " I am here. Everything is gonna be alright." Damien coaxed Celestine and rubbed her hands but nothing was easing her pain. They went to the hospital and Celestine was pushed into the emergency room. Damien paced back and forth in frustration. Inside the emergency room, Celestine kept on screaming. "Mrs Romano push harder, we can see the head of the baby." The doctor encouraged her to push. "Yes, you are doing great. Keep on pushing, with a little more force." Celestine nodded to
"Zack, Ryan is here for you," Celestine yelled from the kitchen. She was making her son's favorite dish. "Coming mom." A low magnetic voice resounded from the stairs and Celestine smiled at her son. He was now turned into a fine man. He had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes just like his father. Perfect jawline and cut cheekbones. His masculine body attracted girls towards him. Zack was basketball champion and also a topper of his university. Thousand of girls flaunt around d him but he did not bait an eye on them. He remembered his mother's words. "It doesn't matter if that girl is ready to throw herself on you or not but don't lose your conscience because of your desires. Be a man and respect women. They deserve respect too. But if someone tries to take advantage of you then show them who you are." Zack shook his head kissed his mother on her cheek. It was a daily routine for him. "Hey Bro! Are you ready for the mat
Its been 4 years since that incident happened. It had caused a huge impact on Celestine. She was afraid to send Zack school but Damien somehow convinced her. "Mom I am not a girl." Zack coldly said to his mother who was guiding him what to do and not to do. "Still you are my only son. I can't afford to lose you." Celestine shed tears and hugged Zack. "Ok. Don't cry. I will listen to you." Zack wiped tear from his mothers face. Like Damien he too can't see his mother crying. "What did I miss?" Damien picked
