The timer rang, alerting my trembling body as I forced myself to stand up from the toilet seat. I reached out to the counter and grabbed the test stick with my sweaty palms, which were now sweatier than before."Please, please, please, please." I murmured softly to myself at this very moment as I turned the sticks around to see the results."Oh my God!" I whispered as I felt the hotness in my eyes grow with every second that passed, staring at the test.Two lines!.I was pregnant. I didn't know what to feel—should I be happy, sad, or even worried? I couldn't move; my hand subconsciously raised to grab my stomach. I was pregnant. I thought again.Was I ready to have a child, especially right now with the kind of business Sin was into? Was it right to bring a child into a world like this? I pondered.I heard the sound of someone knocking repeatedly on the bathroom door and knew it was Samantha since she was the only one here with me."Mani, is everything alright in there? What was the r
I woke up the next morning with Sin asleep beside me, one hand wrapped around my waist while the other had my head resting on it. I turned to face him, and he looked so peaceful and calm.I slowly traced the tattoos on his arms while he slept like a baby. Looking at him, it feels like I have known him for a lifetime, when in reality it's just a few months. I still haven't told him about the baby; even with all Samantha's pep talks, I was still scared to tell him because I wasn't sure what his reaction might be.Suddenly his eyes started fluttering open, and he had a smile on his face when he opened his eyes fully to see me staring at him."Good morning, Bambina," he said in his deep, sexy morning voice."Good morning," I say, leaning in so that his lips can claim mine.The kiss started off slow and steady until it became feverish, and our tongues fought for dominance, but of course Sin won. I pulled away, trailing a kiss slowly down his exposed chest to his stomach. I pulled his boxer
"Sei bellissima principessa." Sin said while placing his hand in mine. He leans down, his lips beside my ear, as he whispered softly. "Ready". He backed away, looking at me, while I nodded. "Okay, let's go. I'm driving. " He wrapped his arms around my waist, and we started walking outside.Today Sin was dressed in something warm with a blue jacket just like mine. I waved goodbye to Samantha and Zoey on our way out. I already apologized to Samantha for my sudden outburst, but she waved it off, saying she understood that I couldn't control my hormones due to the pregnancy.When we got outside, I saw a Bugatti La Voiture Noire parked in front. Sin pressed the key button to open the car, and we both got in. He had one hand on the wheel and the other on my thigh."We are going snowboarding first." Sin looked at me."I have never been snowboarding before.""It will be fun; I’m here to help you."The drive to the ski site was nearly an hour and the half, but once we got to our destination, S
When I got no response from him, I turned to look at him, taking in the blank look on his face, and i beginning to mentally beat myself up for having ruined the happy mood we had going on a few moment ago. “You don't have to answer.....""No, I trust you, Amore."" He sighed before talking. "It was all my fault; I never really told anyone about it. About how they were able to plan a surprise attack on my dad. I trusted the wrong person, and it got my dad and I kidnapped, which ended up with my dad being killed in front of me." He paused as if he were trying not to relieve that moment."When I was a kid, I was home-schooled and didn't like the idea of that; I wanted to hang out with other children my age and make friends. I had an idea what my dad was into, but that didn't change the way I feel about him; I just wasn't a part of it. After pestering my dad for months to let me go to an actual school, he finally agreed to let me go, but only if it was a private school. I had no problem wi
I woke up to an empty bed with Sin out of sight, and I stretched out my limbs. I definitely wasn't feeling better this morning; I sat up only to feel the familiar feeling of being nauseousness fill me up. Ugh, I hate morning sickness. I got up quickly from the bed, with a hand placed on my mouth, and racing to the bathroom, spending nearly two minutes in the bathroom, pouring out my guts as I vomited every last bit of content in my stomach. I flushed the toilet while standing up to brush my teeth. I didn't have much energy to shower, so I opted for a bath.After we both let our hearts out yesterday, I couldn’t help but feel we have grown even more closer. I was madly and utterly in love with him, despite the fact that he hasn't said it yet, I hoped for him to feel the same. There were times I wanted to tell him how much I loved him, but it was hard to fight the urge within me not to spill out the L word, not with a baby in the midst of everything. Any time I build up the courage to
We walked into the hospital, with Samantha asking the nurse for an assistant to the gynaecologist’s office, which she was kind enough to direct us to, since the hospital was a big one. We got into the elevator, pressing the third floor as it took us up.When we got to our designated floor, we met another nurse, and she asked us to wait at the sitting area while she confirmed our appointment."Dr. Alysa is ready to see you." The nurse directed us into a cozy office. In front of us stood a mid-aged woman in a white doctor's coat with a reading glass at the tip of her nose."Hi, I'm Dr. Alysa. It's nice to meet you." She pulled her hand forward for a handshake, which we gladly accepted. She waved us to a seat before taking hers across from us."So, what seems to be the problem?" she asks, and my gaze shifts from Samantha to her."I have been feeling quite nauseated recently, constantly vomiting every morning, and my body feels weak. I took a pregnancy test, and it confirmed I was pregnan
It was 9 a.m. in the morning, and I was now exiting the shower with a towel wrapped around my body. Sin was lying on the bed with his phone in his hand, he didn't even bother looking up as he typed away on his phone."Wow, I feel so invincible. I guess I'm not captivating enough". I teased, standing at the doorway of the bathroom and posing like I was a model, though I was certain I was failing at it miserably.He looked up from his phone and chuckled. "You are far from captivating, You are fucking enchanting, but I just need to finish up with some work."I playfully rolled my eyes as I stood there, looking over at him with his back resting on the headboard and his legs crossed together in a straight line."How do I look now?" I questioned."Very sexy, amore." He wasn't even looking up at me; he focused more on his phone as he typed away making me frown, I decided to try another tactic. I dropped the towel around my body and stood naked. I slowly made my way to the bed, and the moment
Today was the day that I tell Sin about the baby. I'm happy to be pregnant, and I hope he will be too. But that didn't stop the fear—the fear that i might be a horrible mother. I'm scared that I might end up not loving my child as a mother should and end up doing all the wrong things. I moved my hand over his hair, loving the soft feel of it."It's still early; why are you awake?" Sin's sleepy voice rings out, and I smile."I had to use the bathroom and found it hard to fall back asleep." I smiled and kissed his nose.He pulled me closer, my head resting on his chest. "You look tired, Amore." Try to get some sleep." He caressed my cheek, and I pulled away to peck his lips before laying back on his chest.We stayed in each other's embrace, cuddling for some time, until I heard his soft snore and smiled, letting myself fall asleep.The second time I woke up, the day was already bright and the bed was empty; I'm guessing he had to go out for an emergency meeting. The feeling of nausea se
Samantha and AlexanderI was feeling devastated, and I couldn't help but blame myself for what had happened to Mani. If only I had not gone out this morning, if only I had kept to my routine and brought her meal up to her room like I usually did these past few days, then she wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped. especially not when she was pregnant.No..None of this would have happened if only I had given her the chance to explain when she first pleaded with me. Maybe then we would have figured out who was betraying us, and now we had to work faster at finding her before something bad happened.Sighing, I swing my legs, which were deep inside the pool water, while wiping the tears from my face. I couldn’t remember the last time I had cried this much. Was it those times when I struggled to stay alive as my father carried on with his assault, or the time he...Shaking the thought off my head, I try not to think about the past, knowing it would bring nothing but pain and nightmares."You have
Athena And LorenzoI could be doing anything with the rest of my day, probably watching Netflix and chilling, if I was up for a bit of fun, I could always go clubbing. But that wasn’t the case tonight; instead, I was being prepped for a ball I wished not to attend.Only if there was a way to escape having to attend and watch those pretentious fuckers pretend to get along with each other."Do you really need me there?" I asked, letting out yet another sigh."Of course I do," Bella, my childhood best friend, responded, giving me a pleading look. "I can’t do this by myself; it's torture having to go there and pretend to care. I need you there, Athena.""Why don’t you just skip this year's ball? I’m sure your parents won't mind."Bella sighed exasperatedly. "I wish I could, but my dad is too stubborn to listen to reasons, he is running for a political position and wishes I would accompany him since my brother can’t attend this year. I'm really hating the fact that he had to go on a busine
Luca and StephanieI gulped down my drink and set the glass back on the table. I took a deep breath and then raised my hand to signal the bartender."Another shot," I said.He frowned. "I believe you have had way too much for the night, don’t you think so?"I shook my head quickly, but stopped when it made me feel a bit dizzy."No...pe, another shot."I thought it was wonderful that he continued to display care, but after I patiently waited, he simply groaned and went to get my drink.In the end, his worry wasn't going to help me much. I also knew how to control my alcohol intake while always being the good girl. I was a little tipsy, but not at all intoxicated.After a while, I was certain I had had a little too much to drink, but I still wasn't intoxicated enough.I need to head back to my home; now that Mani is touring the world, the apartment we shared for nearly five years feels empty.It’s been three months since she left, but I still haven’t found a roommate I feel comfortable
Seven years have passed since I got married to Sin and had the twins. My caring, loving husband and our two lovely children make up my existence, yet I still couldn't believe it.I grinned when I thought of the girls. Alexander and Samantha have been married for five years, and a year after their wedding, Giulia, a beautiful baby girl, was born to the couple. Emma, their youngest child, was born two years ago.Luca and Stephanie recently got married, and they are currently on their honeymoon. She was enjoying herself to the fullest. Luca had brought her to Bora Bora, and she had sent a ton of pictures. You can only imagine my delight when she told me that Luca had proposed to her four months prior.While Athena got married to Lorenzo a year before Samantha and Alexander. They have three beautiful boys and a girl. I'm sure you are wondering how this happened.When Sin and Alexander found out about their relationship, it was chaotic. They argue all the time; Sin and Alexander even went
We had woken up ages ago, and did a little bit of morning exercise. If you get what I mean. Right now, we were sitting outside. Well, Sin was sitting on a chair with me on his lap. We were both enjoying the wonderful view of the ocean as well as the fill of the warm air against our skin. Sin kissed my shoulder, bringing my attention to him. He held my head, pulling me to his never ending kisses. I could never get tired of this. He pulled away, smirking at my red stained face."I wonder how the babies are, I miss them already." I say, resting my head on his shoulder."Don't worry about them, they are safe. I know my mom and your aunt will take good care of them. My mom adores her grandchildren a lot, same as your aunt." Sin runs my back softly."I know, but still" Tears formed around my eyes and I blinked a few times, trying to stop them from falling down."Amore, it's only for three weeks then you can see them again. We don't know when we will ever get the chance to spend time alone
"I don't get why you refuse to tell me where we are going. I feel like we have been walking for hours. " i heard Sin chuckled softly, as he kept on leading me to heaven knows where. My eyes were blindfolded, making it hard to know where we were" patient amore. Besides, it's only been three minutes since we got out of the car. "I scoffed." Yeah, but I have been blindfolded throughout the ride.""so impatient, amore. Few more steps Mrs. Violenta."I grinned, liking the fact we were officially married.I squealed when I felt him lift me up bridal style, with the warm weather surrounding me. I felt giddy and couldn't wait for him to take off the blindfold.I felt my feet touch a wooden floor and the cloth wrapped around my eyes slowly coming loose. I gasp at the view of the beach in front, watching the waves move the water. Though it was dark, the moonlight shone on the water, enhancing it beauty and making it more enchanting.It was fucking gorgeous."Welcome to Maldives" Sin says, a s
Today was the day of the wedding. I was finally getting married to Sin. It feels so surreal, like I can't believe it. I was a nervous wreck, and there was nothing I could do to ease my nerves. This was a happy occasion, but at the same time I felt scared. I couldn't wait to call him my husband, and that brought a smile to my face. Right now I was sitting on the bed with Aurelia in my hands, feeding her while I watched her silently. I had already fed Marcello and given him to Sin; he wanted Marcello to dress up with the men.It's been two months and three days since I gave birth to them, and I couldn't be happier looking down at my beautiful baby girl; her blue eyes sparkle just like mine. Her features were like Sin's; she had his long lashes and brows. I knew she was going to grow up into a beautiful girl. I noticed that she was done, so I stood up from the bed, trying to burp her before putting her down on the bed.The door opened, and Samantha, Stephanie, and Athena walked in. "It's
At exactly 9:55 Am and 10:00 Am, Sin and I's baby boy and girl were born. How did l go a full nine months without the doctor noticing I was carrying two babies instead of one.They were beautiful.I was wheeled back to the room while the babies were taken to be cleaned. The rest of the family had gone home earlier to get freshened up, they had no clue yet and I told the doctor not to tell them. I had asked my aunt and Sin to go home and freshen up as well, after a lot of persuasion my aunt agreed to go, wish I could say the same about Sin.This man was filled with all kinds of stubbornness.I heard a soft knock at the door, it opened slowly and I saw Serena, Samantha, Stephanie and Alexander walk in first followed by Athena, Amelia and Carson."Hey. " Serena said in a hushed tone."Where is the baby? " Stephanie asked.Before Sin and I could answer, the door pulled open and a nurse walked in with one baby in her arms. She walked towards me, placing the baby in my hands. I looked down
They all froze for a second till a felt pain in my stomach and the next thing I knew I was yelling out to them, mostly Sin."Don't just freaking sit there, do something".That seemed to have woken them, and everybody stood up from their seat rushing to heaven knows where. Sin was by my side, helping me up from my seat."It's going to be okay Mani, remain calm. How far apart are your contractions." Amelia asked."I'm not sure, but I think 15 minutes apart. " She makes a sound agreeing with me."We need to get her to the hospital so that way we can have more accurate readings" I nod. I took little steps with Sin holding onto my hand."we need to get everything you need, I will text Mateo to bring them to the hospital. " He gave my hand to his mom, bringing out his phone. He typed feverously on his phone.I felt a hand on my chin, making me look away from Sin. It was Serena, she had a smile on her face which made me relax a little bit."follow my lead Mani. " she instructed and nodded. "
