Single Daddy's Beloved Wife He's grumpy again
"This is crazy!" Alana exclaimed in frustration and rose from the bed and sat back down. Brigitte was busy munching on popcorn while she fixed her eyes on the heated auction going on. "I knew rich men existed in the world but…man this is crazy," Brigitte commented with a grin and stuffed her mouth with more popcorn. Alana glanced at her with a glare."That man bidding higher is my husband," Alana yelled as if making a statement. Brigitte frowned and paused what she was doing."And he's going to win…but that other man won't give up so easily" Brigitte mouthed only for Alana to slam her fist on the bed."What's the point huh…why does he want that company so much?" She was wondering why Ricardo joined the auction. He didn't need Rocco's company. "Relax okay…I'm sure he knows what he's doing," Brigitte said, telling her friend not to get stressed. Alana was already stressed. Ricardo wasn't seeing what she was seeing. It was clear. The brown-haired man was trying to provoke Ricardo. She

(Alana) "Careful madam…" Becky said while helping me get out of the car. Of course, I didn't know why they were all treating me as if I was disabled. "Yes madam, I'll hold Santiago," this time it was Mrs Marks who came with Santiago. I smiled and adjusted the floral dress I was wearing. As per the doctor's instructions. I had to refrain from wearing heels. "No problem…I can hold him," I said, grabbing Santiago's hand and pulling him to me "You okay?" I whispered to Santiago with a smile and he nodded and held my hand tightly. "Dennis, are you sure your boss…isn't coming?" I said turning to Dennis who drove us to the baby store. Seeing how hesitant he was, I guessed as much. "No madam, sir said he'll join once he's done with the meeting," Dennis replied with a bow. Of course, I understood. I didn't have to ask how many meetings he was having. "Come, baby, let's get you some new clothes…and your little sister," I said, coaxing Santiago so we could go inside the store. As expect

After a hot soothing bath, Alana stood in front of the mirror fixing her wet hair. She could feel the cold breeze sipping through the window. A rush of adrenaline kicked in. So many thoughts were running through her mind. Her phone didn't stop vibrating. Brigitte didn't stop asking her about Vincent and their relationship. ("Is he your lover boy from before?") She read a message from Brigitte. Alana scoffed disdainfully."Where is this coming from, Vince is my best friend" she didn't see any problem in being friends with Vincent. ("Remember you are a married woman…we don't want Ricardo misunderstanding your relationship ") Brigitte sent another one. This time Alana was speechless. She was certain Ricardo was smart enough not to make such assumptions. ("I'll come to your office, now good night") she sent a text message to her friend and placed her phone on the table. She picked up her hairbrush and continued combing her hair. There was the opening and closing of the door. She didn'

Alana's gaze shifted from Vincent then to Julius. The fact that Vincent brought Julius as some partner made Alana furious. "I…I didn't know…Alana, I'm sorry I…" Vincent stammered and lowered his gaze. Alana wasn't having it."Mr Salvatore I admire your enthusiasm…I appreciate your generosity…but I can't accept this," Alana said professionally knowing she wasn't going to get involved with the likes of Julius. The fact that he was Rocco's brother made it even worse."Mrs Romero…I sympathize with you on what happened to you…but I can assure you I'm not my brother…" Julius said after a long sip of water. His eyes were fixed on Alana although she didn't even dare look at him."If you don't trust me I can prove myself…I won't rush you…take your time but just know I only have the best interests at heart," Julius added more calmly, his long fingers circling the thin crystal flute as he waited for Alana to respond. Her silence meant two things, one she didn't trust him which was obvious. The

“Friend?” Alana scoffed in disbelief and kept her eyes on Ricardo. The man shifted in front of her and leaned down to her. “She insulted me and saying you fired her is nothing but bluffing,” it was too good to be true. The man didn't fire his so-called receptionist. “Is it a problem?” He whispered with a smirk, Alana frowned and tried to get away from him. But he trapped her completely. “Mr. Romero, by now we know I can't meddle in your affairs…especially with your employees,” she said plainly, making Ricardo smirk even more. He slowly sat on the desk since he was sitting on his chair. “It triggered nothing?” He muttered as his hand reached for Alana's neck, he slowly grasped her hair between his fingers and tucked it behind her ear. “Is Mr. Romero expecting anything from me…perhaps…” Alana was aware the man had his affairs to deal with. That girl was called Chloe. She was Ricardo's childhood friend. “Mrs. Romero, you look flushed,” he caressed her rose-red cheeks with the back

Dinner was served, and the round table was set and filled with delicious cuisines. It turned out the people were some of Ricardo's old friends. They weren't into fashion, but just did random jobs and investing. Alana was sitting beside Ricardo, while the unexpected person she wasn't expecting was sitting opposite her. Either way, she could feel the tension between Ricardo and Julius. “Mrs. Romero and I are partners…so I don't understand why Mr.… Romero is acting like this'' like a devil, Julius said as his shrewd eyes shifted to Alana. Ricardo's hand clenched tightly. Alana was shocked Julius could say that in public, “Really? So, this means you and Ricardo can be friends…hahaha, this is a good thing,” Garry laughed and raised his glass of champagne for a toast. Julius smirked even more and raised his glass. “I don't know if… Ricardo is willing…perhaps because he's a married man now,” Julius said hesitantly and turned to Ricardo. His eyes held nothing but shrewdness. Ricardo com

“Can you come now… Alana, I'm waiting,” Brigitte said over the phone as she proceeded towards the reception, unfortunately, she came to a halt when she nearly bumped into someone carrying something. “I'm… I'm so sorry…did I hurt you,” it was Chloe who said, stepping backwards and checking if the coffee she was carrying spilled on the lady? “It's okay…nothing happened," Brigitte said, trying to shove the lady's hands away. “I didn't mean to…” “Where are you taking that?” Brigitte cut her off and pointed at the coffee. Chloe smiled and fixed her dress. “To Mr. Romero…it's in the afternoon… I'm taking coffee to him,” Chloe remarked politely and made her way to the elevator. Brigitte didn't think much but shrugged and proceeded her way. “Just great,” Alana disconnected the call. Meanwhile, Ricardo was sitting in his office with his head buried in his hands. There was a light knock on the door, which he didn't hear until after a while. “Come in,” he straightened up and started arr

"Sweetie, you'll have a little sibling…a cute little sister" Alana whispered while making Santiago touch her belly. The boy seemed a little confused at first because he looked at her for a while then her belly."Do you want one…a little sister," Alana muttered with a smile and to her surprise, Santiago's lips quivered upwards.Alana couldn't contain her happiness. Seeing Santiago reacting to her made her eyes watery."I promise you'll be fine…because mommy loves you a lot…very much," she had to make him well. Whatever happened, Santiago was slowly responding. "I'm sure when your sister comes…both of you will have fun…but don't cause any trouble," Alana said in between sobs and planted a soft kiss on Santiago's forehead "Now let's do homework and…""Ahem," someone cleared their throat and turned around. Alana was a little startled to find Ricardo standing by the door. He looked fresh wearing a black tracksuit. She didn't have to look closer to know he was from taking a shower. His pe

Single Daddy's Beloved Wife Some good news
Alana and Ricardo snuggled in bed together, despite the doctor telling Ricardo to go to his room. He refused and wanted to be beside his wife. Alana was happy to be in the man's arms.“But it was untraceable…” Alana said with a frown. She was still confused about how Ricardo and the doctor managed to know exactly the poison Rocco used on Santiago. “We did a few tests, and apparently, he was injected with succinylcholine. It's a paralyzing agent that can cause respiratory arrest and is quite difficult to detect,” The elderly doctor explained while Ricardo nodded. “It's acquired through a black market…it's illegal and quite difficult to get the current,” Ricardo chimed in as well, and Alana was stunned. “I had Dario and Dennis watching Rocco. He met with some men who provided him with it,” Ricardo added, and Alana now understood everything. It seemed Ricardo knew something was wrong. She held on to him, knowing she was so lucky to have him.“We had the team male neostigmine, which rev

Ricardo slowly opened his eyes, blinking against the harsh hospital lights. The throbbing pain in his body intensified as he tried to sit up, only to be met with a firm hand pushing him back down. Startled, he turned his head to see Marcus standing by his bedside, a look of concern etched on his face.“Lie down, Ricardo. You're badly hurt,” Marcus urged, his voice filled with worry. Confusion clouded Ricardo's mind as he tried to piece together what had happened. Why was he in a hospital bed? And why was Marcus here? Then, like a bolt of lightning, a memory flashed in his mind, and he jolted upright, ignoring the protests of his body.“Alana! Where is she? Is she okay?” Ricardo's voice trembled with fear as he frantically looked around the room, his heart pounding in his chest. Before Marcus could respond, Ricardo swung his legs over the side of the bed and attempted to stand, his body protesting with every movement. Ignoring the pain, he staggered towards the door, determination in h
Single Daddy's Beloved Wife He loves her
“You're shameless, forcing a woman to be with you,” Alana was in disbelief. By now, Rocco was only in his boxes. Threatening to have his way with her.“I've always loved you, Alana. I've always cared about you and wanted nothing but to give you the world!” Rocco made a low yell, the fact that he fancied her since the first day he set his eyes on her hurt him.“I'm a married woman!”“And I'm a man who deeply loves you…what does he have huh…what does Ricardo have that I don't…” he questioned. This time, his voice was low and held emotions. "I have money just like him, good looks, you name it…but he's nothing but a criminal!” “You're insane Rocco, you need help,” Alana refused to give in, despite how sorry she felt for him. She wouldn't forget that he poisoned a child.“I'm insane because I love You, you're the first woman who makes me feel this way…Alana please give me a chance,” Rocco's voice softened, he was nearly begging her to love him.“I don't love you… I love my husband…”“He's
Single Daddy's Beloved Wife Gunshot
At the sight of Ricardo. Rocco lost it as he grabbed Alana by the hair and pointed a gun to her head. Ricardo's eyes widened in horror as he watched Rocco grab Alana by the hair and point a gun to her head. The guests gasped in unison, and their faces pale with fear.“Let her go this instant!” Ricardo growled as he took a step forward. Several guards rushed forward and surrounded him with guns pointing at him. “Let my wife go Rocco!”“Oh, shut up Ricardo…no one wants you here,” Rocco said lazily as he gripped Alana's hair even more tightly. The cold weapon connected to her skull frightened her.“You're courting death!” Ricardo snapped, taking a step forward. His fists clenched at his sides, his eyes blazing with anger. But before he could take another step, many guards rushed forward, surrounding him with guns pointed at him. “Hold it right there, Ricardo,” one of them warned. Rocco sneered, his grip on Alana's hair tightening. “Oh, shut up, Ricardo. No one wants you here.” Rocco re
Single Daddy's Beloved Wife Wedding day
Rocco was in the master bedroom humming to a tune as he selected a tuxedo to wear. He couldn't hide his happiness. The room was filled with several boxes, and all were custom-made tuxedos specifically shipped for his wedding. The door creaked open without his realization, and it was Stacey who walked in.“Oh for goodness's sake…. Is this charade even necessary,” Stacey scoffed as she jumped over a box, careful enough not to hurt himself. Rocco heard her, but he was too overjoyed to pay her any attention. “You're really enjoying this, aren't you?” Stacey said with a smirk as she came to stand beside Rocco. He threw her a lazy glance and continued humming to a romantic tune.“Nothing will ruin my day, except a witch, like you,” Rocco retorted mockingly, Stacey rolled her eyes in annoyance and picked up a white tuxedo.“You should thank this witch for coming up with a brilliant idea to separate Alana and Ricardo,” Stacey smirked even more while Rocco's facial expression darkened.“One m
Single Daddy's Beloved Wife He trusts his wife
Alana and Ricardo were stuck in an intense staring contest. Ricardo didn't dare let her go as he kept her in his grip. She seemed unhappy as she fought to keep him off her.“We are married…whatever the problem is, I'm here to solve it,” Ricardo whispered desperately. She just walked out on their marriage without any explanation. “And don't you dare say you feel nothing for me…don't,” he murmured as he leaned forward, their faces an inch from each other. Alana tore her gaze from him, her breath coming in short.“Please, babe, don't do this…” Ricardo cupped her face lovingly and tilted her back until she was facing him. Her eyes were closed shut, and when she opened them. Ricardo saw that cold gaze from the day she gave him the divorce papers.“Let me go!” She made a low yell and managed to get out of his hold. Before he could hold her, Alana pushed him away.“I don't care what you think, but it's over between us…” she slowly walked to the sitting area and leaned on it. “Leave me alone
Single Daddy's Beloved Wife Engagement with Rocco
Alana stood by the window, her stunning red dress shimmering in the light. The strapless gown hugged her curves, showcasing her bare back and thigh through a daring slit. Her hair was sleekly pinned up, and diamond jewelry sparkled around her neck and ears. As she gazed out at the city lights, the cold breeze whispered across her skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake. Despite the chill, she exuded warmth and sophistication, a true vision of beauty at night.“Are you ready?” came a deep male voice. She didn't have to turn to know who it was. Her hands tightened on the purse she was holding. “It's our engagement at least smile,” it was Rocco who came into view, Alana was doing everything possible to keep her emotions in check. She glanced at Rocco with a stern gaze.“Rocco, stop this… I did what you asked…give me the rest of the antidote,” Alana said, her voice laced with emotions. Rocco stood beside her and shoved his hands in his pockets.“You are not entitled to make demands
Single Daddy's Beloved Wife She betrayed him
Ricardo's heart raced as he parked his car in front of the hospital. He practically sprinted through the doors, his mind filled with fear and anxiety. His only child had been lying in that hospital bed unconscious and fighting for his life. The doctor's grim prognosis had shattered Ricardo's world, leaving him feeling utterly helpless.As he rushed down the sterile white hallways, he couldn't shake the feeling that the doctor was keeping something from him. How could Santiago suddenly be awake and eating when just yesterday he was on the brink of death? Ricardo's mind raced with questions, but he pushed them aside as he finally entered Santiago's room.The sight that greeted Ricardo stopped him in his tracks. There, sitting up in bed with a tray of food in front of him, was his son. Santiago looked pale and weak, but there was a spark of life in his eyes that Ricardo hadn't seen in days. Tears welled up in Ricardo's eyes as he rushed to Santiago's side, engulfing him in a tight embrac

Ricardo sat beside his son, and he held his son's hand. He watched him connect to various tubes and machines. His heart ached, and his son was always healthy, so what exactly happened to him.“Hey,” someone said from behind, Ricardo regained his senses, realizing there was another person in the room. It wasn't Alana, but Chloe. “He's going to be fine,” Chloe muttered softly as she walked closer to him. Ricardo only nodded and kept his gaze on Santiago.“We can try a different hospital… I have a friend who is a good doctor… I can ask for her help,” Chloe added when Ricardo didn't reply. The room was in utter silence. Chloe knew Ricardo was hurt. He loved Santiago more than anything. “I'll take care of that. You can leave now… I don't want my wife seeing you,” Ricardo said coldly. She knew Alana never liked Chloe. Having her around would make things awkward “Ricardo, I know I did some pretty bad things…trust me, I've changed, and I just want our old friendship back,” Chloe remarked wi
