SIN'S POVI leaned back on my sofa chair, my head tilted toward the ceiling, and my eyes were closed when the door opened. I knew who it was without opening my eyes. Only one person would dare come into my room without permission.I opened my eyes and caught sight of Luca strolling in. He closed the door behind him, leaned against it, and crossed his arms in front of his chest."Seriously?" he asked as he stared at me, his face expressionless."Am I supposed to know what that means?" I fired back without answering his question. I knew what he was talking about, but I had no desire to discuss that matter. It was none of his business who I decided to keep or not.I stood up and walked over to the small bar. "You know, there were better ways of taking out Fabian. Not in front of Mani and Zoey."After I poured some whiskey into two glasses, Luca took one from my hand and sipped slowly.We both stared at each other; the air was tense around us. When his glass was empty, he placed it on the
Mani’s Pov."Praise the heavens, you decided to leave your room." Zoey mused when I took a seat at the counter, and I playfully glared at her while pouting my lips."You act like I don’t leave my room."She snorts, shaking her head. "You can’t possibly count spending hours in the library as a breath of fresh air." She says, "I know you love reading and all, but don’t you get bored?""I don’t. My aim is to read as many books as I can in the library. Besides, it’s my source of entertainment when you aren’t there to keep me company."I understand, but still." She sighs, placing a hand on the left side of her waist. "What book do you plan to read now?"I smiled. "I actually saw one, Fifty Shades of Grey, and I’m intrigued to see what it’s about."Her brows creased and her lips parted a bit. "Are you certain about that?""What?" I asked, confused."I mean, are you sure you want to read that?" She clarifies, eyeing the book in my hand."Yeah, why?" I asked, staring at the book before star
My mind was racing when I returned to my room, not believing what had just happened. I jumped onto the bed, burying my face in the pillow, before letting out a series of screams.Why, no matter how hard I try not to do anything humiliating in front of Sin, do I keep embarrassing myself? In front of him, it just keeps happening. It was like the universe was against me.I sighed, refusing to take my head out of the pillow even when I heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps approaching the bed."Well, this wasn't the sight I was expecting." Zoey muttered, making me look up from the pillow, casting a glare in her direction, and watching her shudder in confusion as she dropped the plate of Oreos and the glass of juice on the table."Woah... why do I have a feeling you are planning my murder in your head?""Because I am." I yelled, jumping out of bed and picking up a pillow in the process.Zoey takes a step back, racing towards the other side of the bed and picking up a pillow of
I was sitting close to the window while reading a new book, this time making sure to browse through the book and making sure I hadn’t taken one like the last. Though I doubt that was possible because Sin made sure to remove any books of that nature from the library shelf.I giggled, flipping the pages of the book I was reading, when the door of my room pulled open and a woman walked in.She was dressed in a sophisticated and elegant way. Her brown hair was tied up in a tight bun with little to no makeup on her face."Can I help you?" I asked as she looked at me up and down."Mr. Violante says you need a dress for the ball." She said, "I’m here to assist you and make sure you get the right gown.""Oh, of course." My demeanour was instantly thawed. "It's nice to meet you. I’m Normani.”"Ms. Normani, It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Willow. I’ve picked out a few dresses for you. Let me know what you think." She says. "Though Mr. Violenta has already picked out a gown for you tha
Sin’s Pov.As we departed the building for the location of the yearly ball, I fixed my gaze on the woman seated next to me in my car. I initially refused to go to the ball because I didn't want to pretend to get along with anyone when their only goal was to flaunt their wealth. However, Luca persuaded me that I should go this time even if I had to stay an hour, as opposed to skipping it like I had done the last time and many times before. I had only attended the ball once, when I took over from my father, and I had gone by myself with no companions. That was the same as every other party I'd been to.I was going with a date for the first time, and for the better, I thought having Mani with me would be nice. She is incredibly stunning now that I have looked at her more. Her lovely blue eyes sparkled like precious stones. Her attention was focused out the window, her lips cast down with a pout, and I wondered what could have possibly made her unhappy.As if she could feel my gaze on her
"I see..." Before Lauren could finish her sentence, I walked away from her, deciding to approach the buffet table instead of having any conversation with her.I picked up a glass of orange juice as soon as I reached the buffet table and sipped it. My mouth watered at the sight of the variety of foods on the table. I was about to pick up a plate off the table when a familiar female voice sounded from behind me."I find it quite rude to leave in the middle of a conversation." I rolled my eyes, letting out a sigh."We had nothing of importance to say." I said, not paying any attention to her. "I know for a fact that you don’t like me.""Then I guess I don’t have to pretend.""Like you were!""How did you manage to get his attention?" Well, I met him at the club and got kidnapped by him a month later. I wanted to answer that way."I don't know what you are talking about."“Of course, I don't expect you to reveal your technique, since that's what you need to keep your place. Just tell me
It had been thirty minutes since Sin and I returned from the ball, and all I could think about was how amazing it was to have him dance with me. Despite encountering Lauren, the night had gone smoothly and was amazing.After our dance, we stayed an extra three hours at the party, with Sin introducing me to a couple of people. We decided to call it a night when the clock hit eleven and I was already getting tired.But instead of getting ready for bed, all I could think about was the ball and Sin. There was no denying that my feelings for him were growing with each passing day.Shaking the thought off my head, I undid the knot of my bathrobe to step into the showers. But as I run my hands over my body, I can't stop thinking about all the places he's touched me... and wishing he was here to touch me again. I shut my eyes under the stream of hot water, imagining Sin beside me, grinning that sly, dark smile of his, and pinning me against the shower door before he bends to kiss me. His hand
"Good." Sin’s grin widens. With a lazy smirk, he wraps one arm around my waist, pulling me against him. Our mouths collide again, and this time there’s no hesitation from my end. I let my head fall back and my lips part as his tongue explored my mouth, harsh and possessive. He breaks the kiss, and his lips trail down my neck, following the same path his fingertips did earlier. He licks and nips at my skin, making me gasp.Then his mouth traces lower, over my collarbone, down to my breasts. He pins my back against the wall of the bathroom and suckles one of my nipples between his lips, his tongue flicking across the hard nub, toying with me, teasing me. I moan and arch into him, and his hands slide around the small of my back, bracing me against him as he sucks and licks at one nipple, then the next."God, you’re perfect," he breathes, his breath hot against my damp skin, when he pauses to tilt his head back and meet my eyes. "You know, I wanted so badly to rip the dress off of you th
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. "
