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
Kera POVI move the last piece of furniture to where I want it when I here the doorbell ring. I furrow my brows in confusion as I walk to the door. I have been here for two days and nobody came. Before opening it, I check my attire. A white tank top and tiny sports shorts. I cringe and decide to ignore the lack of clothing. I would look through the peephole but I'm too short to reach. I pull the door open to find five people on my porch. "Hello. My name is Becca," a short, dark haired woman speaks. She is just beautiful. "This is my husband, Scott and our children. Lisa, Matthew and Brandon. We are the Keaths across the street. It is very nice to meet you. We just came over here to welcome you to the neighbourhood. It is really nice to see a ne--- Damnit, Becca. Your scaring her." Becca speaks but Scott cuts her off. I try not to laugh at the cute little scene."Would you guys like to come in." I ask politely. They all nod and I move out of the way. I close the door once they are al
Kera POVI walk down the street to get to my house and see a group of guys standing there, laughing really loud. This makes me very paranoid. I walk faster and get to my house. "What's got you in a hurry?" A deep voice asks startling me. I look over at Parker's house to find him sitting on the railing smoking a joint.He looks so good."Don't want the pizza to get cold." I say forcing a small laugh. He just hums and takes another drag from the joint. "You wanna join me?" I ask out of the blue and almost facepalm myself. He smirks and takes one long drag before throwing the remaining bit on the ground and stepping on it."Sure." He says walking over to me. I turn around and open the door and hang my jacket up. "Make yourself comfortable. I'll get us something to drink." I says and hand him the boxes. "Wine, beer, juice?" I ask and he replies wine. I grab two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine. I walk into the living room and see that he took his jacket and shoes off."So, why w
