Kera POVI stand infront of the bathroom mirror, trying to get my hair to form the perfect beach waves."Baby, you look perfect. Let's go now." Aless says wrapping his hands around my waist and kissing my head. "But it's not twisting right." I tell him trying to get the piece of hair to curl. "Stop messing with it and it will turn out just fine. I don't even know why your getting dolled up. I'm the only one who's supposed to see this beauty." He says and I giggle. "I want to look and feel good. Leave me be." I tell him picking up the mascara only to have him take it from me. "You don't need it. You're beautiful just as you are and I can make you feel good, anytime." He say spinning me around and placing his lips on mine. I smile into the kiss and his hand travels down to my ass. Oh he sure made you feel good with his mouth this afternoon. "Stop smiling and kiss me." He groans against my lips and I giggle before kissing him back. I pull away before he could deepen the kiss knowin
Kera's POVI wake up to my head throbbing. A groan leaves my mouth and I struggle to open my eyes properly. Once they do, I look around only to find that I'm in a basement of some sorts. "What the hell?" I whisper to myself.My arms and legs are tied to the chair that I'm sitting in rendering me immobile. The place is cold and smells like wet cement and mold. I look around trying to get a better view in the low lighting. I can hear somebody breathing in the room but can't make out where it's coming from. "Aless?" I call, my voice trembling slightly. "Alessio!" I all a little louder only to hear footsteps. I look to my left to see a figure approaching me. "You're awake. Good." An unfamiliar voice says and I furrow my brows. Squinting my eyes, I make out a fairly handsome man. He is dressed in jeans and a white shirt. His feet are covered by running shoes and his face is covered by a surprisingly neat, thick beard. "Who are you?" I ask lowly and he exhales. "Well your husband might
Alessio's POVI sit in the uncomfortable chair next to Kera's bed as she sits by the window. Her eyes lifeless and swollen from all the crying. Mine probably don't look any better but definitely not as bad as hers. It's been five days since Lester had taken us. Five days since I had him locked in the basement of the hotel with my men watching him. It has been five fucking days since we lost our baby. I feel so angered and crushed at the same time. My heart literally hurt as the doctor told me that my baby didn't make it. It hurt even worse when I had to tell Kera. She didn't understand at first but then it hit her like a huge fucking rock to the face. We had no baby anymore. We flew back to Washington the day after everything happened so she could be treated by my doctor.Everything in me right now is screaming for me to get on this hospital bed, curl up and mourn my baby but I have to take care of my wife. My only reason to live right now. "Bambina, you have to eat." I say lowl
Kera's POVAless helps me get out of the car when we park infront of our house. As the car door shuts, I go to move but his grip on my waist hold me in place. "What is it?" I ask as he looks tired and worried. "Doctor Paige said that she would refer you to a great psychologist so that you don't need to bottle any of this up. They can do house visits if you don't want to go to their office." Aless explains and I take a deep breath. This is for my own good. I have to do this to become healthy and mentally stable again. Looking up at his face, I can see how tired he is from the bags under his eyes. His beard has grown out and so has his hair. What's more is that, even though he looks like this, he still remains the most handsome man that I've ever seen. I am one lucky bitch."Okay." I say softly as my hand goes to his hairy cheek. He closes his eyes and nuzzles his face into my palm making me smile. "Thank you." He says and I tilt my head. "For what?" I asked confused. "For everyth
Kera's POV*12 Years later.*"Be careful, Max. You're going to hurt yourself." I warn my ten year old son as I see him jumping on the trampoline next to the pool."Mama, why is Maxy so weird?" I hear the little voice next to me ask. I look down and see Morgan, my second born, reading a Hannah Montana book. She's going to be eight in a few days but she is way too smart for her age."I don't know. Your dad was also weird when we met. He probably gets it from him." I whisper and she giggles. "Well, I have food but I guess I'm gonna go share it with my weird son." I hear behind us and I turn around with a smile as I see my ever so handsome husband standing there with snacks. "Oh you know we love you. Weirdness and all." I say and he rolls his eyes with a small smile. "How about you my little princess. Do thou take me with my weirdness and all?" He asks, sitting down and lifting her onto his lap."Why yes, I do." She says sarcastically, playing along as she 'sneakily' tries to grab the
Aless POV *10 years later*"Get it done. I don't have time for this." I say as I slam my phone onto the table. My hands go up to my face as I rub my temples. I've been gone on some business for three weeks and I return to a shit show of lazy employees. I came here straight from the plane because my assistant said it was urgent. A knock sounds at the door and I raise my head. "Come in." I say and the person does. "Sir, Mrs. Marino is here to see you." My assistant, Analy says and I sigh. I forgot to call her back. "Let her in. Never keep my wife waiting. Even if I'm in a meeting, you let her in." I say and she nods.Moments later, Kera walks in. Beautiful as ever. It's like all the stress I have been under vanishes at the sight of her. "Bambina" I say standing up and walking around to kiss her. "I've missed you so much." She says, wrapping her arms around me and I frown. "I'm sorry, baby. I meant to call you more. I've just had so much to deal with." I tell her as she squeezes m
Kera's POV"It's going to be fine. You just need to calm yourself down." I tell Aless as I see him pace with a gun in his hand."He comes into my house, sits at my table and fucking puts his hand on my daughters' thigh! What the fuck did he think this was, a fucking game?" He yells and I shut my eyes tightly waiting for him to be over with this rant."It's fucking unacceptable!!" He rages and I sigh. "I'm going to blow his fucking head off." He says cocking the gun and angrily starts walking to the door. I run infront of it, locking it quickly and stuffing the key into my bra."No. No you're not." I say quickly and he looks at me annoyed. "Kera. Move out of the way." He says glaring at me. "Or else what?" I challenge him and he chuckles. "She's my daughter! No man is going to be touching her like that in my fucking house!" He says and I can hear his voice cracking. "Baby, you need to calm down. She's growing up." I tell him softly and he sits in one of the chairs infront of his desk
Kera's POVI stand on the porch and stare at the beautiful house before me. "It's beautiful." I say and Mrs. Blanche smiles brightly."This one is the best out of them all." She says. The older lady looks utterly happy with my choice of words.Her curled salt and pepper hair shines in the morning sun as they move wildly with every movement she makes. "Really?" I ask with a huge smile on my face. Mrs. Blanche nods with a small smile.Truth be told, I do not have to see the inside to know that I love it. The outside is just so beautiful. I bet the inside is just as stunning. "Let's go in." She says and we head to the door. While she was struggling to get the door open, I took the time to look around the neighbourhood. All the houses are very beautiful and well taken care of. The grass patches are all neatly trimmed with flowers and little plants on the sides. The different browns all clash and form a serene feeling over the whole neighbourhood."You coming dear?" Mrs. Blanche's voice
