SIN POV

I left Mani in the bedroom and walked over to the kitchen, the automatic lights coming on as soon as I stepped over the threshold. It was sometime after midnight, but I felt like this night was going on forever, wanting nothing more than to crawl into my bed and catch a few hours of sleep.

Instead, I grabbed the decanter on the sideboard along the wall and poured a healthy swallow of whiskey into the glass, watching as the amber liquid filled the crystal. I was still pissed at the fact that she planned on running away.

I thought things were getting better between us and she was finally warming up to me, but instead I got a call from Jason telling me about her disappearance.

I wanted nothing more than to punish her more for what she had done, and I thought leaving her in need was a good enough punishment. Call me a bastard, but I enjoyed watching her shrink from me.

Picking up the glass, I took a long swallow, feeling the whiskey slide down my throat. I was certain that she was

    I was in the living room of the hotel room; Sin was nowhere in sight, and my guess was that he had gone out early this morning when I was in bed. I huffed, not really paying attention to the show on TV; all I could think of was how long Sin was going to carry on giving me the silent treatment.Part of me was pissed that he hadn’t given me the chance to explain myself yesterday and had only chosen to listen to Jason.Thinking about yesterday, I could not help but think that this was all Jason’s plan. to get Sin to loosen his trust in me.Was this what he meant yesterday?I let out a sigh and curled up on the couch, trying to while away the time while waiting for Sin to return. The last thing I wanted was for us to return to New York with a bridge between us.I wasn’t sure why I was affected by this—was it the lust talking, or was I really beginning to feel something for him that was more than just attraction?Boredly flipping the channels, I stifled a yawn, trying to fight off the slee

    I fudged with my fingers as Sin walked in with Luca trailing behind him. His eyes wandered from Jason to me then back to Jason, who was a couple of distances away from me with a raised brow.He walks into the room, taking a seat on the couch before using his hand to usher me to his side, and I let out a quiet sigh, trying to hide my nervousness before making my way to where he sat, about to take a seat beside him on the couch.But Sin’s hand grabbed mine, pulling me down on his lap till his head nestled against my neck, taking a deep breath."I’m sorry I didn’t give you the chance to explain yourself yesterday." He says, I looked away from him, not able to meet his intense gaze."I wouldn’t have been able to find out what had happened if not for Jason’s explanation and the CCTV camera at the entrance of the hotel." He says again, "His eyes never leave my face." There is a hint of sadness in his voice, but other than that, he sounds cynically mad.I took a subtle look towards Jason, an

    The next morning, I opened my eyes and stretched before I turned to find Sin gone. The bathroom light was off, and the sheets beside me were cold. I couldn’t stop the disappointment I felt.Getting up from the bed, I hurriedly freshened up, changing into a pair of black jeans and a yellow sweatshirt. My hair was tied up into a ponytail, and my face was bare of makeup.After taking one final glimpse at the mirror, I began making my way down the stairs. A smile spread across my face, eager to meet Zoey since we had returned late from Paris.I made my way to where the dining room was, and instantly a smile made its way to my face when I heard not just Sin's but Zoey’s voice.I walked into the room and every conversation seized. I bit on my lips nervously, hating the attention as I began making my way to my seat. My eyes scanned the room, meeting Zoey’s, and I waved enthusiastically at her, getting the same positive energy from her as she smiled, waving back at me.Taking a seat beside Si

    "You look different; this is the first time I have ever seen you matte your hair." Luca says, throwing Mani a compliment, and I couldn’t help but agree with him.With her hair matted back, her face was more visible and beautiful.I stared at her, seeing the spark in her eyes at Luca's words, and she smiled."I have Zoey to thank; she was the one to help me get it backward." Her smile increases. "I was a bit sceptical at first since I wasn’t used to matting my hair. But I do admit it does look good on me."I smile, taking a hold of her hand and bringing it to my lips. "You look beautiful, amore." I said this and saw her eyes light up even more as she blushed.The maids began working in, carrying with them a tray of food, which they placed gently on the table. Placing the food on the table in front of us.Zoey walks in, takes a seat, and Mani waves at her, getting a wave in return, causing her to giggle. My lips raised up in a smile, not immune to how cute she looked.Dinner commences,

    Mani's Pov "Don’t let Victoria bother you." Zoey says when we walk back into her room."I’m not bothered." I said, which was nothing but a big lie.I was indeed bothered. I tried not to think of what had happened in the dining room, but the image of Victoria's hand on Sin’s lap clouded my mind.We seemed to have escaped whatever obstacle had been in our way in Paris with Jason not here, but now I had Victoria to handle here.Just when will I be free from all this drama?I was certain I was on the list of Victoria's most hated people, maybe because of Sin, but I was certain there was more to it." See!. You say you aren’t bothered, but your mind seems to be far away." Zoey says, snapping me out of my thoughts."It’s nothing." I said, giving her a fake smile, though I was certain that I looked constipated. "I better call it a night; it’s late and I want to rest. I haven’t really had the time to get a good night's sleep.""Sure," she says, but I could see the worried look on her face.

    Mani’s Pov.It was getting late and time for our date. I was nervous, standing in front of the mirror as I took in my appearance.I was dressed in a blue gown that fell below my knee with a black heel, and I packed my hair in a high bun to get the hair out of my face. There was little to no make-up on my face, since I wasn’t really a fan of such. After taking a satisfying look at myself in the mirror, I made my way out of the room.When I got to Sin, he was on his phone, not paying any attention to me, so I made the decision to observe him. He was dressed in a black suit and pants, a white shirt, a black tie, and a pair of black shoes that appeared to be their first ever appearances in the sunlight.I could not understand what he was saying since he was speaking quickly in Italian, but as soon as he turned to face me and smiled, my stomach was filled with butterflies and my heart melted."I will get back to you later; right now, I have something important to do," he said in a threaten

    Sin’s Pov."There is always something that could be done." I was so fucking pissed off with myself.I tried to come up with a plan or something while tapping my fingers against my leg. Without any advice on how to win Mani over, what the hell was I going to do when I needed to make her feel something for me?"I'd like to know that I'm not required to share you with another woman," she remarked.I paused in answering as the waiter chose the wrong time to bring us some food. I wanted to get to the bottom of her doubt in me, letting her know that I wanted no one but her and making my intentions known. Instead, I gritted my teeth and smiled, pretending like everything was okay. It wasn’t.Once we were alone, I stared into her eyes. "I’m used to women wanting me. I'm not trying to sound arrogant or anything; I'm just stating facts," I said.She grinned. "I know. I have witnessed how women treat you. It must be just awful.""I've never had to put much effort into getting what I want."Man

    I hadn’t left Mani’s side. I couldn’t when she was lying here, barely breathing. Her private room had a small bathroom. The nurses and Luca were the ones bringing me food, but otherwise, I kept my ass in the chair, only getting up for bathroom breaks.The first twenty-four hours came and went, but she didn’t wake up. The doctor didn’t seem overly concerned, which I didn’t like. I wasn’t a doctor, but people shouldn’t just stay asleep. They should fucking wake up.Reaching for her hand, I pressed a kiss to her knuckles. At least she felt warm to me. "Mani, love. Open your eyes for me, baby."She didn’t flutter.No sign.No movement."She’ll wake up when she’s ready," Luca said from behind me, and I turned slightly to look at him."Were are you able to find out what happened?"Luca sighed, taking a step forward. "It is just like we suspected; Lorenzo has nothing to do with it.""Then who?" I asked. My voice was deep and void of any emotion."That is the thing, Sin." He was silent for a

    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 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.

    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

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

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.
