Third person POVOn the day Ariana walked out of the medici home. Lucas wasnt himself but he let her go. As soon as she walked out, Maria turned to face him in rage, her eyes were the mirror of pain and sadness.“You promise me, child,”she growled out in pain.“Don't you dare, you had no right to embarrass me like that, in front of them, you spoke out of turn and brought forth something so uncalled for,” he growled at Maria who stepped into the office.“I have watched you for years, I may not be your biological mother but I am still your mother,” Maria responded.“Funny how you would say that I have no issues with you, but if you don't want one of them I guess you should stay out of the matters that concern me and my wife”, he growled out in anger as he looked at Maria who looked at him with disapproval.She felt weak and older looking at the boy, he was so bitter and took his pains out on anyone he could find, she had been unable to sleep for years, and she thought after the passing
Ariana POVI stood behind Damien, as I watched him roared, in pain. It wasn’t a normal pain it was the pain that came from a man who had lost his loved one.As I stood there, watching Damien on his knees, screaming in anguish, my heart clenched at his evident pain. "Damien, please tell me it isn't what I think. Tell me, please," I pleaded, desperation lacing my voice. At the sound of my voice he turned to face me, His eyes, bloodshot and devoid of tears, met mine, conveying a depth of sorrow I couldn't fathom. I felt bad, I wished this was a dream I could wake from.Brian was all. he had of his family, and to add to that he couldn't get over losing his mom and brother and now Brim to add to that killed Lucas, I wished it wasnt true, seeing him suffering like this did something to me."He killed my father, that swine killed my father, shot him in the head " Damien growled, his words laced with a mix of rage and grief. The realization hit me like a sledgehammer, leaving me reeling in
Time went by and soon Damien called me to get ready with a dress, he had bought for me as he was coming home to take me to a dance.I walked to the closet, my hand reached for the familiar fabric of the dress. I remember when he got the dress for me, and I had laughed at it as it was big and pretty and my tummy was still flat at that time and now I appreciated it, at least it would fit me perfectly.It was long, flowing elegantly to my knees, with an open back that added a touch of allure. Slipping it on, the material cascaded around me, accentuating my pregnant form. As I adorned myself with jewelry, my tummy protruded proudly, I looked at myself in the mirror and I could see how much I had changed. I was now a woman in love and a soon-to-be mother to my child.A smile graced my lips as I stepped out of the door, anticipation tingling in the air. Damien's car pulled up, and I greeted him with a smile as he approached, dressed sharply in a shirt and trousers.He looked almost like h
I was living in my best days, though we were in hiding but what mattered to me was that I was in love with this man. I never thought that he would want to propose and it was the best day of my life.What mattered was that we were happy, the night was cold and his arms kept me warm. Life felt like a dream but it was how calm things wete, that scared me the most, it felt like the calm before the calm before the storm.The next morning came, and I woke up feeling so heavy, very aware that the baby would come any day from now, and I was anxious and scared. I could see Damien was scared too but he covered it up by encouraging me with a bright smile on his face.“Hey babe, ready for the morning,” he said with a smile and I smiled brightly back at him.“What do you have in mind, because I know I will always be ready,” I teased and he looked at me with a smirk on His face.With his help he got me out of bed, he looked happy and so did I, this was our day and we were going to live it.“You kno
The wedding was a success, and I was happy with how it ended. We celebrated with our workers as they merry and drank. I was too exhausted to go on by evening and Damien took me back inside to rest.“I would do anything, to be able to lie well, in bed, I wonder when this baby will come out, I am exhausted,” I giggled and Damien chuckled.“Soon, you don’t need to be,” he said as he took the plates away, I held myself up to visit the bathroom. And as soon as I walked in, I went to ease myself and before I could even remove my clothes I felt my water break.My eyes widened, and I calmed my nerves.“Damien,” I called out and I heard his footsteps approaching.“Are you okay in there, do you need help “he acted out and I tried so hard to calm my nerves.“Can you come in here for a second,” I said calmly, trying my best to remain calm.“Hey, what’s happening,” he asked as he looked at me and down to my wet shorts.“Did you urinate on yourself,” he asked with raised eyebrows, and as soon as he
I looked at her, over the past few months, I could see how she had lost weight, she wore leather trousers and a leather jacket.I took a step back, standing between me and my children, as she walked closer to us.“Hmmm, look at them, so tiny and fragile,” she teased but I didn’t find her joke funny as I stared at her.My heart was beating fast, wondering how she had found us here, and how she had gotten here. “What?…aren’t you gonna let me my nephew and niece,” she said and I glared at her.“What are you doing here, how did you find us?” I asked her as I watched her suspiciously, she smirked as she looked at me.“Hmmm, you haven’t changed always throwing words around that pissed me off even the more,” she gritted through her teeth as she looked at me.“I’m pretty sure no one knew where I was so answer me,” I snared at her, and in a brief second she pulled out a gun. And pointed it at me.“Yell again, and you will lose one of these little beans,” she said with a smirk as I looked at h
I lost count of the hours we spent on air before we arrived in New York. By the time we arrived, I was numb all over, I didn’t fight anymore, and I helped my children who were bundled to prevent the cold from getting to them.I held them close to my cheats as we entered the car, the nurse beside me. The woman seemed panicked but had kept her cool for hours. I felt so much pity for her, imagining being kidnapped and forced to look after the children of a stranger.“Hey,” I whispered to her, and she looked at me panicked, I knew she was scared, and the least I could do was assure her that everything was gonna be alright, she looked at me scared and I gave her a small smile.“Everything, is gonna be alright,” I whispered and she looked at me and nobbed.“And thank you for looking after my kids I appreciate it,” I added and she looked at me and then looked away. My heart was pounding as soon as the environment started getting familiar, I could feel my heart beat faster as the car entered
She looked at me in shock which was later replaced with annoyance.“I worked hard for that fortune, I was the one who crafted everything plan and got your ass there you have no right over that fortune,” she snapped at me and I grin.“If you have a problem with that why don’t you pull a gun to my head, and fire,” I teased her, as I made a gesture with my hands and I could see how pissed off she got as she stared at me, she looked at me with so much anger in her eyes.“I would get everything I worked hard for and you would give me what I want,” she snapped at me slowly and dangerously.“And why would I do that?”I asked her with a grin on my face.“You sign all the fortune to me,” she blurted out and I couldn’t hold it anymore as I bursted out laughing, I laughed so hard and I held my stomach. I thought about the old me, who would have probably rushed to sign off my share to this manipulative woman but the new me was ready to take a stand.“And what are you gonna do if I don’t do as you
