BIANCA'S POV He was so mad, and I had truly expected it. But it wasn't any fault of mine. How was I supposed to know that Anthonio would just show up here? After the election of CEO during the shareholders meeting, I had won and..... Okay, let's take a deep breathe and use this moment to celebrate me!! I am CEO now!! I'm a CEO? Oh, God! All my dreams were slowly coming to fruition, and it only made me happy. I was going to become that rich and powerful woman I have always wanted to be. It was so suprising how I was achieving that within such a short period of time. Yes. So, back to the matter at hand. How was I supposed to know that Anthonio was going to be at the same restaurant? Nonno had insisted that we went out go celebrate together, after which we would return to the penthouse and he'd call Manuel to come take me home. What I hadn't expected was for Anthonio to show up when we were almost about leaving, saying he had a date in the same restaurant. I was strangely happy
MANUEL'S POV "Hmmmmm...." I released a sigh as my eyes opened to see it was morning already. The sun rays invading the room through the open windows were not harsh, so I didn't find myself squinting like I always would. I felt the warm body closely snuggled into mine. "Haaa.." I released yet another satisfied sigh as a result of how soft her skin felt against mine. She seemed to still be fast asleep, and I took the liberty to admire how beautiful she was. God! My wife is beautiful! Breathtakingly gorgeous, even with her lips slightly parted open. It made her look even cuter. Like a baby. I suddenly thought about our baby, and I found my hands slowly going underneath the sheets to caress her smooth belly. My hands trailed down from below her breasts, making its way towards her belly button. Just before I finally got there, I began to feel a small protruding pouch which lodged her belly button just above it. Our baby was growing really fast, and I couldn't help the small thrills of
BIANCA'S POV I couldn't stop blushing whenever I thought about the fact that he had noticed my dislike for green beans. It felt nicer because I didn't even have to tell him, he was that observant. I looked through the tinted car window and smiled to myself. My visit to my parent's had been so enjoyable for me. I had already eaten to my complete satisfaction at home, as per Manuel's request, but my mama was still adamant on stuffing so much food into my belly. I had worn a bodycon dress that made no efforts to hide the small protusion of my belly. She and papa had been so excited because more than anything, it felt more real. They were expecting their second grandchild soon. Even I, was excited. I remember looking at my body so intently in the mirror yesterday, while I went to have my bath in the bathroom. I was too excited to see my baby grow, and I was more amazed by the creator. How else could I explain the fact that I was carrying another human within me, and I was gonna be res
MANUEL'S POV With one last punch to the motherfucker's face, I spat out in disgust and turned to Massimo. "I don't want the reoccurrence of what happened to Marco. He is now in our custody and that means he has to be alive until I decide otherwise. He is still adamant for now because we haven't broken him enough. I would give him a few more days." I muttered, stretching out my hand for Phillippe to do me the honours. Immediately, he dropped a white handkerchief in my handp and I cleaned off the bloody stains all over my hands. I looked back to the man who had dared attack Bianca. He was already too weak as it was. He wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer. I felt a level of satisfaction, seeing how much I had disfigured his jaw, blood still trickling down his equally disfigured nose. His colleague had been lucky enough to have escaped, so he was gonna be the scape goat. "Whenever he is ready to speak, let me know." I said to Massimo. "Coglione." I muttered, before walkin
BIANCA'S POV It had been a smoothly going day for me. To be very honest, I was extremely scared to step out of home but then, I didn't want to get Manuel more worried. I knew he was putting a lot of efforts to ensure I was safe. I could only show support in my little way. I looked at Nonno who was giving a closing remark for the meeting, and flashed him a grin. I was so happy and proud to be Nonno's little pet. It gave me the opportunity to really come across wealthy and affluent people in the country. When we had arrived for the board meeting today, I had expected to be left outside the board room, but was suprised when Nonno took me in with him. The members of the board didn't even look suprised to see me, like they had already predicted he was gonna bring me along. Nonno made an official introduction between I and the members who already knew who I was. It was a sweeter feeling when they introduced themselves in return, and made it known that they were at my service to help
BIANCA'S POV "I killed my Nonna. I killed his wife." My eyeballs literally fell to the bed. "That's not true." I rushed out, shaking my head in disbelief. I wouldn't believe what he had just said. "You would never do something like that." "But I did." He nodded, sitting up on the bed and resting his back on the head rest. "What happened?" I asked, strongly believing there was a reasonable explanation to what he said. "What happened?" He chuckled bitterly. "I was a rebellious teen. That's what happened." How else was I going to convince this man to speak to me. There was clearly a whole lot of other things he wasn't saying. "I'm all ears." I sat up as well, facing him directly. He looked at me and my heart fell at seeing his eyes already red. "I had been weirdly addicted to illegal car racing at the later part of my teenage years." He started, and I curled up my legs, adeptly listening to what he had to say. "It was prohibited in the family. Prohibited for me esp
THIRD PERSON'S POV She rushed out of the dinning area and made her way towards the entrance of the mansion. It had finally happened. What she had dreaded for a very long time had somehow happened. The mistake she had made was to tell a lie. A lie that she had to go on covering up for years. Ever since she got married to Alexander, they had made this promise of never keeping the truth away from each other. But this very lie was something she had told even before they made that pact of truthfulness. Now, she had literally been exposed and she more scared, than shocked. Quite alright, suddenly seeing her little sister that she hadn't seen in over 7 years was such a shock, but what she dreaded more was Alexander leaving her. How was he going to react when he found out that all along, she had a family but lied that she didn't? All the while, she had cut contact with, and abandoned her poor mother and sister. The decisions she had made in life were not solely based on her personal deci
BIANCA'S POV I walked into the bedroom after my bath, and put on my night wear. After that, I walked towards Manuel who was very much awake on the bed. "Heyyy." He called out to me the moment I sat on the bed. He held my shoulder and turned me to face him. "You seem sad." "I should be the one telling you that. You look much more worried than I am." I sighed. "I'm so worried for Bella." "Same here. I am so worried about Alex. I haven't been able to reach him ever since he left home this morning. He must be so heartbroken." "I know right?" I nodded in agreement. "Totally." He sighed. "I have never seen Alexander as in love as he had been with Bella, with another woman. He cherished her. I feel sad that things are taking such an unexpected and scary turn for them. Never in my wildest imaginations would I have thought Bella and Patawan had a sort of thing." "But I could totally relate to Bella though. You know, we never know how the shoes of another hurts, until we wear
