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
Kera POV"He just left?!" Nadine, my cousin, asks loudly. Even with her yelling, I can barely hear her over the loud music of the bar, cafe place. I called her and told her that I had some tea to spill so she asked me if we could spill shot instead. Now here we are, drinking cocktails and eating some bomb ass pizza. "Yeah. He did tell me that he had some business to handle." I tell her. "It doesn't make up for the fact that he got you drunk, made out with you and ditched the next morning. Then he doesn't say anything for THREE DAYS!" She yells again. I shake my head."You're making it sound bad. I was the one who got us drunk and so what if we made out. It just sucks that he wouldn't even call or text me. I don't think he even has my number." I say defeated. Maybe he was looking for a quick fuck. But he told you no when you wanted to fuck him."Okay. All of this is way too depressing. Let's finish up here and get fucked up. I know the perfect place." She says excitedly and waves th
Kera POVI wake up to giggling and the smell of food.Jaxon is still asleep next to me. He looks so beautiful with the sun on his face. But Parker looks even better.I groan at my own thoughts and get out of bed. I walk out of the room and silently close the door behind me. I walk down the stairs and hear a manly voice.Nadine comes into view and so does the guy from the club last night. Not the one she was talking to all night but Denver. "Good morning." I say and they both turn to me. "Mornin'." Nadine says as she turns to me while still in Denver's arms. She is wearing an oversized grey shirt and I'm guessing nothing underneath, while Denver is shirtless in his jeans only. She looks so tiny wrapped in his large arms that I can't help but smile at them. They look so cute. I ship."Good morning, Miss." Denver says and I'm taken aback by how deep his voice is. I giggle and wave my hand dismissively. "You can just call me Kera. It's nice to meet you again." I say shaking his hand. "
Kera POV"I missed you so much." She yells excitedly. Her black hair swings around her shoulders as she sways from one side to the other. She hugs me again for about the fifth time since I stepped into the house. "I missed you too mom." And I really did. I haven't seen her since I moved out almost a week ago. It might sound dumb but I have lived with the woman my whole life and then I don't see her for six days straight. Anybody would miss their mother, especially if she was like my mother.My mom is full of life. Most of my friends would piss their pants if they saw her for the first time because she looks really strict, but she's really just a big goofball once you get to know her. "What have you been up to, baby? I was meaning to call you but the baking and the kids kept me so busy that I would just pass out when I get home." She says chuckling and I laugh with her. She is a volunteer at the orphanage and she loves kids. She couldn't do that because she had to live up to my dad'
