Alana left Santiago's room after trying to talk to him. The nurse didn't come since it was the weekend; hence she decided to try starting a conversation with him. Unfortunately, Santiago treated her like air. Alana concluded, Santiago was able to talk, but something was stopping him. He was intelligent and could read people effortlessly. He was observant of things and the people around him. Something which most adults failed to do, a child did easily,

“Was he in an accident…or was he born that way?” Alana fired Mrs. Marks with countless questions. She was eager to know everything about Ricardo's son, what exactly made him unable to talk. Was he born mute or something else

“I'm afraid, it's something only Sir knows,” Mrs. Marks replied politely, Alana didn't mean to push things. But she wanted to help

“Alright, you can go,” she waved the lady off, Mrs. Marks nodded and left the room. Alana was sitting on the bed with her eyes fixed on the computer.

Brigitte asked while they stepped out of the car, Alana shook her head and draped the silver chain of her purse over her shoulder and gestured for the driver to wait"I'm fine, I called you to meet me because I need Help," Alana said as both women headed towards the entrance of the boutique they came to.

He didn't want to attend, however, with the current situation. He was obliged to do so"You don't know how many of these people want to see you," the man who hosted the party said.

    Alana felt ashamed, she felt humiliated by what was happening. She should have known the dress didn't come from Ricardo. She was the fool to have fallen for such a cheap trick and looked at Rocco smirking like he owned everyone. She just wanted to slap him and remind him where he belonged"Aren't you ashamed, I'm not interested in whatever you proposed," Alana muttered through gritted teeth. Her hands clenched tightly. Ricardo wasn't saying anything but the fire burning in his eyes was enough to blow Rocco to smithereens "She's my wife, how dare you…who do you think you bastard!" Ricardo made a low yell and grabbed Rocco by the neck, his actions were so fast and animalistic that Alana stepped away from him. They were in public and people were beginning to look. Rocco let out a sarcastic laugh, he didn't seem bothered at all. The level of his madness"Your wife? Ha!" Rocco exclaimed mockingly and shoved Ricardo away and adjusted his wrinkled tux "Don't you ever lay your hands on me

    (Alana)His hand slid to my front and cupped my breast, a hiss escaped my lips and I leaned back to him, he fondled my breast while his other hand slid down my arm and intertwined his hands with mine.The position was so intimate that my mouth hung open. My vision was getting blurry, I could feel warm tears lingering in my eyes. But I managed to keep them open and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I didn't know what was happening to me or what came over Ricardo. But when he leaned down to my shoulder and sucked on my vulnerable flesh. My knees weakened and my heart raced. I didn't wear a bra because of the strapless dress I wore. My succulent breasts sprouted out. My nipples were already hard and aching. And when Ricardo took my swollen bud between his fingers and pinched them. A strange sensation rushed through my body causing me to moan in pleasure “Mmm, no,” Whatever he was doing made me squeeze my thighs together. His hot breath felt like a thousand fireflies dancing on my s

  • Single Daddy's Beloved Wife   Teasing Ricardo

    Ricardo struggled to wake up due to a hangover. He wrapped himself in the duvet, waves of nausea adding to his misery. His phone pinged with message after message, getting up was the issue. One of the reasons he hated drinking liquor. The aftermath was terrible. As he shifted to get his phone with his head still buried under a pillowRicardo only grasped a little of it, and it slipped through his fingers and landed heavily on the floor“Damn it,” he muttered and shoved the pillow off his head and slowly sat upright. His brain felt like it would swell beyond the capacity of his skull, and now his dehydration was too obvious to ignore. Again his stomach lurched and gurgled. Perhaps some painkillers would help too. He raised his heavy eyelids halfway, only for them to fall shut. He raised them again and swung his bare feet to the carpet again. It was cold underfoot, glancing at himself, his eyes narrowed into slits, seeing that he was only in boxes“Great,” he muttered and pushed himself

    Ricardo paced back and forth in the conference room. After a heated meeting with the board of directors. Ricardo was irritated with what was happening. He was angered by Rocco's sudden appearance. Especially when he was trying hard to ruin him. Rocco had the guts to approach men who didn't supply diamonds to him“Chill man, I'm sure we can solve this… I already informed Marcus about this,” Camillo said assuredly. It was funny to watch Ricardo being all worked up. Yes, Rocco was trying to provoke him, but they were other ways to deal with this“He wants to die,” Ricardo muttered and stopped pacing, rage flashed in his eyes as he rested, he bent down a little and rested his hands on the table. Camillo saw a predator seeking its prey.“Whatever it is…don't give him the pleasure to destroy what you've worked hard to build … it's clear he wants you to make a mistake,” Camilo said, knowing full well, Rocco was playing dirty. He knew Ricardo had left that life of killing. Even Ricardo knew h

Not just once, but a few times. It had been a week, and I was getting irritated. First, he pulled a lousy stunt by giving me that dress“He's pathetic, I wonder why he's highly praised,” I saw all the reviews about his company and work. And they were extraordinary, it seemed he was more than successful. Brigitte frowned and ate her food. We were having lunch at a reserved restaurant. After a long day of work. I was free since Ricardo didn't need me“Forget him, you are better off working with our boss…” Brigitte remarked with a smirk and stared at me questionably, like everyone else. She also suspected me of having a relationship with the boss“Don't tell me you think, I'm so loose,” it was hard to say anything when all the employees kept talking behind my back about going out with the boss.

How she wanted to stop breathing because she could feel her heart thumping loudly. As soon as she was satisfied with her work. She glanced up, only to catch Ricardo staring at her. He averted his eyes awkwardly and pretended to be looking out the window“It's done now, next time be careful,” she whispered and discarded the used cotton. Ricardo nodded and stared at his hand“It's nothing, you didn't have to,” the wound was small, yes he was careless, but he was used to such things“I guess dinner is canceled, are you sure they won't be upset… We didn't go?” Alana asked staring at Ricardo, he shook his head hesitantly “I told Marcela, I'm unwell… I'm certain she won't mind” he muttered and silence fell between them.

    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

    “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

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

    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

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

    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.

    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.
