~ Unknown
What is up with this man?
I couldn't help but question myself as I hold out the beautiful dress infront of me. I inspect the delicate patterns that have managed to catch my breathe, I was baffled when I laid my eyes on this dress for the first time just few moments ago.
After our late lunch Alessandro demanded for me to go back to our room, as quoted by him 'I have a surprise for you upstairs.' I was actually nervous about this 'surprise'.
Since I have entered Alessandro's life, the surprises I have received from him— let's say they haven't been too pleasent. I couldn't help but think that maybe there was a long lost sibling of Alessandro's that has been found and is waiting for me in the room to be introduced.
Just kidding!

"I want to name our daughter Aida." he says placing his hand on my protruding stomach."It means happiness." He kisses my forehead, explaining further.I chuckle at his words, "that is a beautiful name but how are you so sure that it's going to be a girl? What if it's a boy?" I ask curiously as I place my hand above his.This was pure bliss.Him, me and our baby. No problems, no lies, no past.. Just us, our world."If it is a boy, then we will make another one so it would be a girl" he says with a big smile as if he has it all figured out, I laugh heartedly "that's not how it works, what if the

"All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them" ~ Walt Disney FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! ''VALENTINA!'' ''MA'AM!'' ''HERE TO YOUR LEFT!'' All the cameramen were shouting my name, trying to get my attention so they could get a picture for their magazines. Being a popular actress this is what happens when you make a red-carpet appearance. I turn over to my fans. They are calling my name, eager to get a picture of me and my autograph. I walk towards their direction, my bodyguards walking close behind me. I stop by a specific girl who was shouting my name at the top of her lungs, a pink-colored diary in her right hand, which she was waving frantically for an autograph. I smile sweetly, gazing down at her; I gently take the diary from her hand, ''What is your name sweetie?'' I question, giving her a pearly smile, she freezes, looking at me with wide eyes, someone pokes her, and that makes her come back to her senses, ''Cc-Carly,'' The little dumpling stuttered, mak

"If it is real, it will never be over" ~ Unknown I am shocked to see who it is. ''Everett?'' I question, unsure of my eyesight all of a sudden. He just stands there, busy munching on my food. He stops for a moment only to give me a big toothy grin, then resumes ravishing my breakfast. What the!? ''EVERETTTTTT!!'' I cry yell. ''Mom! Dad! Are you guys not going to say something?'' I urge exasperated. They just laugh. They laugh! Seriously? My pancakes are being chomped up by my lunatic of a big brother that I unfortunately have and my parents are laughing! Can this morning get any worse?? He finishes up the contents of my plate within minutes, he then burps loudly. As if stealing my food was not good enough to rile me up. He puts down the plate on the counter before making his way to me, I glare at him warningly. He ignores my death glares and pulls me into a bear hug. All the anger that I had for him vanishes as quickly as it came, I hug him back with a small smile. Everett i

"Never to suffer would never to have been blessed" ~ Edgar Allan Poe "TINA!!'' "Look this..." "I can explain!" I smirk, I just caught my best friends kissing each other seconds ago and now they are blabbering in front of me. I narrow my eyes, "You sneaky bastards." I say shaking my head with an evil grin. "Oh! I'm late for our class." Sam says as he glances towards his wrist at his non-existing watch. He rushes his way past me with reddened cheeks and disappears around the corner. Chicken. Olive on the other hand has a bewildered expression on her face, "Don't.. Don't look at me like that. I'll tell you everything later. We're already late, come on." She somehow manages to speak up, she hastily grabs my hand and drags me towards the direction of our class. ~~~~~~~ School is finally over, Sammy offered Olive and I a ride but I refused it. I could sense the tension between them and decided to give the new love birds some privacy. A new love story is brewing. I take the bus ho

"God is up to something or the devil wouldn't be fighting you this hard." ~Unknown The upcoming days are filled with a lot of tension. No one was talking, laughing or even teasing each other. It felt like as if all of us are strangers. I am not used to this environment and it is getting on my nerves. Everett has decided to stay with us till Rose gets married, no one knows who the groom is except for dad and him, both of them aren't willing to share anything. The date for the wedding has been fixed, it is to be held on the upcoming Saturday. Today is Monday. Which means 4 more days. Dad tried really hard to get the wedding cancelled, I overheard him whispering to mom in the kitchen that the 'groom's uncle is insisting on the marriage and wouldn't take no for an answer.' Rose was to be married in a small church. The groom's family requested for a small intimate ceremony with only the bride and groom's close family present. They had no time for an extravagant wedding. This request di

"You call it chaos I call it family" ~ UNKNOWN I take the dress from her, "go get a shower, the makeup artist will be here soon." I say, she silently nods her head. I start arranging her things, I sense her staring at me, I look up at her, she has a solemn expression. "I should go..", she says taking the towel and heading to the bathroom. I sense a different meaning behind her words, is she trying to tell me something? 'Please God, make this day easy for her', I say a small prayer. I arrange everything for her and leave the room. I decide to get a quick snack then start getting ready myself. I hop my way down the stairs, commotion in our living room grabs my attention. Curious Valentina is on high alert today, or mostly is every day. I make my way towards the living room. 4 unknown men are standing with my brother and dad. 3 of them are in black suits with sunglasses and an ear piece. They seem like bodyguards. They actually are bodyguards. The 4th man is wearing an expensive suit

"Bad decisions make good stories." ~Unknown A note. Of course, how cliché. I grab the note and make a dash straight to dad's office. I know Everett and dad would be there. I barge inside, the door slams on the wall with a loud 'Thud". "Rose ran away!!'' I say frantically. It is too late to realise. Angelo, Antonio and some of their men are also present there. "TROVALA!" (FIND HER!) Antonio roars. I can't understand what he said, but his booming voice doesn't fail to make me tremble. Without wasting a second Angelo and his men run past me, speaking frantically in their earpieces. He must have ordered them to find her. I hope they don't hurt her, please be safe Rose. Everett sits on the couch that is present in the office with a loud thud, his hands in his hair. "What is that in your hand?'' Antonio asks coldly, eyeing the note in my hand. Dad and Everett quickly look at me then to my hand that is clutching the note tightly. I totally forgot about it, I try to hide it behind me but

The Agreement 61. Waves
"Sometimes in the waves of change we find our true direction"~UnknownIt has been half and hour since the whole ordeal that had transpired between us, I was sitting on one of the comfy sofa.My mind was reeling with different thoughts, but the most prominent of them was the concern for my parents, I need to ask Alessandro about how long is he going to keep me here and find a way to contact my parents.I glance at the window, my eyes settle on a figure sitting comfortable on the sand near the sea shore, the waves come clashing together but die down just as they near him. Looks like the sea is scared of him as well. I paddle upstairs towards the bedroom in search of some suitable clothes to change into, I find a wooden chester at one corner, I pull open the first drawer and surprisingly enough I find my clothes in them.
The Agreement 60. Prove yourself
"I know my worth, I've paid dearly for every ounce of it" ~ Alfa "Oh my!" I let out a breathless whisper as my eyes rake over his sturdy chest, why does he look like a fine ass meal? And why am I so hungry all of a sudden!? I clench my hands beside me as my fingers itch to trace those fine lines accentuating each peck. This man was a walking god and he knew it. I hear him clearing his throat which quickly pulls me out of my incoming lusty thoughts, I gaze at Alessandro and find a cocky smirk etched on his stupidly handsome face. I missed this man so much! My subconscious sighs dreamily. Me too girl, me too. I agree with her. "Enjoying the view?" He asks in his deep voice while striding towards me, I melt at his accent but quickly compose myself. "Yes, the sea makes it more breathtaking but I would like to go home now" I shrug my shoulders looking around the beach house, I deliberately said that even though I knew what he was referring too. He chuckles shaking his head finding amus
The Agreement 59. Maturity
"We've got to live, no matter how many skies are fallen" ~D. H. Lawrence "Tina was always the ugly sibling, look at this, her runny nose in this picture" Everett cackles, pointing at one of my pictures in which embarrassingly enough I do have a running nose. "No! I was the cute one. You resembled a grumpy grandpa when you were born. Dad tell him" I look at dad, giving him a 'please take my side' look. He looks at me nervously then back at Everett, I follow my gaze only to see Everett making the same face. Dad clears his throat, "none of you were ugly or resembled a grumpy grandpa, be-" both Everett and I groan, "–cause both were beautiful children, all thanks to me, your handsome father's genes" he points at himself proudly. Mom scoffs, rolling her eyes, we all chuckle at dad's expense. We are currently sitting around the center table in the living room, going over our old pictures. It's been 5 days since I came back, I feel like as if I have been freed but there is still somethi
The Agreement 58. Family
"Sometimes memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks" ~Unknown Nothing can compare to the feeling of one's head resting on their mother's lap. Mother. A creation God created knowing that the world would have been doomed without these amazing women. I find myself thinking sometimes, how is it possible? How does the air around us suddenly calms down when we have our mother near us? How does a simple hug lift off one's burdens from their shoulders without even uttering a word to her? How does she know when we need her soothing words or when we just need her silence and her magical touch? Guess I will have to wait to find that out myself. After months of overworking my brain, I can finally feel it relax by mom's soothing caresses on my hair. Being near her brought me a sense of comfort that I was craving for. This incredible woman held me in the doorway until I cried my heart out. After that she walked me towards the living room, I was clinging to her like a koala, she didn
The Agreement 57. Alessandro III
"You were a risk, a mystery, and the most certain thing I'd ever know" ~Beau Taplin, "A certainty" Alessandro's POV "Tutto è coperto." (Everything's covered.) Antonio informs me, taking away the file that I had just signed. I give him a nod, he knows I am grateful, I need this break. I go over a few more things with him before heading towards the mansion, I couldn't go there directly when I arrived back from my business trip, I first had to get some work settled in the warehouse, now it's all taken care of. I have handed over my responsibilities to Antonio for a few days, I need some time away from work so I can spend time with Valentina and maybe also convince her to marry me. I know she's stubborn and she's not going to stay here not until I give her a good reason to, I know I haven't been straight with my feelings with her but I am done playing around. I won't admit it out aloud but I am afraid, afraid to let someone into my life, afraid to commit, afraid to believe in love agai
The Agreement 56. New Start
"So I close my eyes to old ends, and open my heart to new beginnings" ~Unknown Bang! Bang! Bang! Several loud gunshots resonate through the air around me at the same time, and then silence. My ears buzz from the loud sound, my eyesight gets blurry. Everything around me seems to fade away, I feel a hand gripping my hair and tugging them harshly, my back hits a hard chest earning a surprised scream from me. I gasp out a breath, blinking my eyes furiously, my hair is tugged again and instinctively my hands shot up towards my head to push away the prying hand. "Leave her!" A dark voice commands through the silent air, I put my hands on my ears and press them in an attempt to get rid of the buzzing, surprisingly it works. I look around frantically until my gaze settles on Alessandro's tense frame, standing a few feet away from me. He has his gun pulled out, pointing towards me, before I could question him, I feel something jab my lower back making me go stiff. "Don't move!" Christop
