TRUST ME Chapter 334
“Where do we go from here?” Sabrina asked a short while later as she lay curled next to him in the bed. Olivia sat at the foot of the mattress watching Sesame Street, repeating the words and letters the small little puppets were telling her about.“I think we should give Irena her time in the spotlight,” he answered, caressing her bare hip beneath the blankets. “I would like to be married by the end of summer. We can do it between your winter and spring designs if you’d like. If you are pregnant, or if you become pregnant, you should deliver shortly after the premier of next year’s summer designs. After that, I’d like to do things right and spend a few weeks getting our family acquainted.”“It sounds like you’ve planned this all out,” she teased him.“I have,” he answered honestly. “I never intended for us to spend the night together when we took The Tornado out, but I did a bit of calculating and it should work out perfectly.”A loud knock sounded at the door startling them out of th

“My father is put out with me,” Giovanni said, carrying the plates into the kitchen and placing them in the sink while Sabrina washed Olivia’s face and hands.“Why? You seemed to be getting on quite nicely the other night,” she said, lifting the child from the highchair. She set her down and watched as Olivia hurried to the pile of new toys her father procured from their stay at Disneyland.“For all other reasons, we were, but he’s angry that I haven’t spent much time working on the woman who claimed to have Silvano’s son. He’s very happy that you and I are back together, nearly as much as your family was to hear we’re getting married. Unfortunately, he feels like I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to get you back, and not enough on the reason I am in France.”“Oh, you know, that reminds me. I did get an email from my client, Dora Jordan, who works for the registrar’s office. I’ve been so busy with everything else, I completely forgot about it.”“Did she say if she found anything?” he a

Giovanni watched as they walked into the bathroom, smiling as Sabrina held down a full conversation with the little girl discussing princesses and fairies like a pro.The water to the tub began to run as he kicked off his shoes, getting comfortable in his new surroundings. Once they arrived back at the flat in Versailles, he gathered together their belongings and moved in with Sabrina while the flat below her was being remodeled. Anna was still with Aryana, helping with her three children while Daniel was out of town, which gave Sabrina a chance to get to know the child who would soon be her daughter.He smiled as Olivia began giggling. The sound of water splashing out of the tub and Sabrina’s laughter echoed through the rooms. He had bathed his daughter often enough to know exactly what she was doing, and how difficult it was to hold her still long enough to wash her little body. He chuckled as he started to review the papers, thinking about the mess that would need to be cleaned up

Giovanni had sent a messenger to Rosetta asking to meet her at a sidewalk café near Sabrina’s new office, then helped Sabrina move her designs over. The construction and décor were complete, allowing her to set up the store with her mannequins. He watched as she instructed Marie and Babette on where to put everything, then arranged her new designs on a rack ready to be taken to Chang’s studio for photographing. He was proud of all she had accomplished in her career but couldn’t get Rosetta off his mind. He was certain it was the same woman, but what kind of game she was playing was beyond him. So many questions had to be answered before he would tell his father. Was she playing a money game, collecting on one child while she basically sold Olivia? Had she known him when they first met, or was it just a coincidence that they were in Africa at the same time? Was that why she married him? In hopes of getting her hands on the Vigano fortune.“Monsieur Vigano,” a male voice said from the

Giovanni sat at a table under the canvas covering of the patio, waiting as patiently as possible for his guest to arrive. He watched the faces of every woman who passed on the street beside him, ignoring the flirtatious smiles he received from those who caught his eye.He could not remember a time when he was more nervous. He was certain this Rosetta was the same as the one who gave birth to Olivia. Was it possible she plotted to take his money at a point in his life when he was incapacitated and unable to think clearly? Yes, she was a very beautiful woman with dark hair and hazel eyes, a body to stun most men into submission, but once you got past the exterior shell, she had nothing to offer another living creature. She was mean-spirited, bitter and demanding. She had no compassion, no love, and no conscience. Her acts were based solely on her own desires.Checking his watch for the third time in five minutes, he looked up as a very attractive blonde-haired woman walked onto the pati

“Her water broke two weeks early when she was having sex with a man she met at the club. He took her to hospital and called me. When I got there, she was in a full rage, screaming at the nurses for pain medication, cursing the baby and Silvano. When she saw me, she began yelling even louder. She blamed me for everything that was happening to her. She said she hated me, and she hated the baby.”Giovanni lifted his drink to his lips to fight the anger burning inside him. It was the same story as when Olivia was born, and he could see it as clear as if it had just happened. “I always heard women did strange things in labor,” Fontanna continued, “but she was hateful. Even the man who brought her in left out of fear. She was like a demon, like nothing I had ever seen before. When our son was born, she refused to look at him, refused to acknowledge him, and did not want to hold him. I did not understand it. This was what we wanted, what we spent three years trying for. We went home with th

Sabrina paced her office silently. Marie and Babette were busy working in the next room, assembling the stacks of fabric and the mannequins that displayed the many designs she had spent weeks working on. The delivery truck would be there any time to pick up the dresses, and they had to be checked for any loose seams or minor alterations before being taken to the studio where they would be photographed for the upcoming event’s brochures.Her nerves had been on edge all day. Between the show next week, and Giovanni’s meeting with his former lover, she was certain she would go mad by the end of the day. She wanted the best for Silvano’s son, but she was afraid of what Giovanni would do when he confronted the woman who abandoned him and Olivia.“Hey, got a minute?” Marie asked stepping in the door. “The truck is here. Did you want to supervise the move?”“Yes, I do, thank you.” “May I ask you a question? I mean, you haven’t really said a lot since coming back from your brother’s party. I

“How do you feel about all of this?” Sabrina asked later that evening as she and Giovanni sat in her office discussing the outcome of his meeting.“I was pretty put out at first, until I saw a picture of her son. He looks like Olivia. I don’t need a paternity test to tell me who his father is.”“So, you’re going to give her what she wants?”“I already have, or at least a portion of it,” he said with a smile. “She’s really poor, sweetheart. The only reason she sent that letter was because she’s broke. She spent all her money on legal fees. I took her back to the hotel she’s staying at, mainly to see if she was telling the truth. When I saw the condition, she had my nephew living in, I made her pack their belongings. She’s currently staying at the Mandarin Oriental, in Paris, and I gave her enough money to get the boy some new clothes and some toys. She has enough to feed them for a few days, as well. By then I’ll have the paternity results and I’ll arrange permanent living accommodatio
