View MoreHarley's POVTWO MONTHS LATERIt is rainy outside and my insides are in disarray.As soon as Antonio steps beside me, my hands shake vigorously and my heart thumps wildly in my chest as if it will soon burst out.He entwines his left hand with my right hand and squeezes it in assurance. I snap my head to exchange glances with him.His eyes hold more than assurance and it makes everything more surreal. It holds hope. For a good and promising future.I hope for happiness. Till eternity.I hope for joy. Everlasting.His eyes hold love. True love.And it holds peace. It feels as if a bowl of water has been poured all over me the moment I turn away from him, taking deep slow breaths, wanting to push down the nervousness and face the reality of what is about to happen today. And now.I am a bride.A bride dressed in a white, sleeveless wedding gown, the silhouette of the dress is fitted through the bodice and starts to flare out at the waist in a triangular fashion. Antonio is dressed in
Harley's POVAntonio didn't say what I wanted to hear. He didn't talk about making babies and that was the exact thing I needed to hear from him to assure me that this baby is accepted and I have no problem whatsoever.This is the only thing stopping me from accepting this proposal. This is what I have always dreamt of.A proposal.To be married. To him.I didn't expect this but I guess it was meant to be a surprise. Grandma is even here but she isn't looking happy.It was when Antonio helped me up from the floor and carried me in a bridal style to take me up to his room that I was able to wipe my tears and stop crying.Alexis wouldn't stop asking me why I was crying.We have been sitting in silence in his room for more than 20 minutes and I am sure the guests downstairs would have gone home.I don't want him to do ahead with this because a baby is involved. This is why I didn't accept him but went ahead to tell him that I was pregnant. This way, he can quickly change his mind about g
Antonio's POVThe moment Brandon and Stanley left the mansion to go get Harley's Grandma, I moved out of the house too and began to pace the courtyard in anticipation.I am as nervous as hell!And it's taking too long. Mother is worried that Harley won't come and I wonder why the driver I sent to her place is just leaving.He just called me a few minutes ago and he has been gone for almost an hour.I feel like calling Jude again, the driver who must be on his way to the restaurant by now but I don't want to distract him. Should I call him to just come back?I turn my back with folded arms when I see my mother coming out through the front door with a glass of wine in her hand.Her face was shining with delight earlier on but now there is worry etched on her expression. I can see her face with the help of the bright glow light which Chelsea suggested we use to decorate the whole place.I was against it at first because I don't want Harley to get suspicious the moment she comes in. I wa
Harley's POVI stare into space, tears rolling down my eyes as Grandma watches me with a face devoid of emotion.I don't know what she is thinking but I am also disappointed in myself. I didn't plan for this and I'm sure Antonio isn't expecting this either and it breaks my heart more.Antonio and I have never talked about kids or pregnancy and I don't know how to view it.Now that I have been confirmed pregnant, I am scared this will be the end of us. What if he doesn't want the baby? What if Alexis doesn't want another child to grab the attention of her father, thereby reducing his love for her? What if Antonio isn't ready for this kind of responsibility yet?He is just healing from the wounds of his past. He was left with a child who was barely a month old to care for, how sure am I that Antonio is ready to go through this again?I begin to wail between my palms, to hide my face from the woman who thought I am still a virgin. She must be so disappointed in me.A hand touches me and
Harley's POVI move swiftly across the kitchen, making an effort to finish up this cooking before Antonio's driver comes to get me.We are going on a date tonight, but without Alexis, this time, and I am excited about it. I just hope there will be no form of drama today. The first date came with drama and the second date's drama was unexpected. This time, I hope Antonio and I will have a quiet time to discuss and talk into the night before coming back home.I don't know why he is super excited about it too but I guess it is because this is going to be our first date alone. Alexis was with us during the first and second dates.The way he has been going on this date since Thursday is hilarious. He even insisted on getting me a dress but I protested but he wouldn't listen. Just this morning, he brought the dress on his way to work, reminding me about the date.It made me smile. And proud. Happy. Lucky. Special.I just finished boiling the macaroni and I want to make a roux. I melt the
Antonio's POVI knock again on the door, waiting impatiently for Harley to open up for me. I am freezing cold out here and I can't wait to see her face.Should I ask her to follow me to my place today? Will she agree? Should I sound pathetic? Shit!I don't know what is wrong with me. I am crazy about Harley and this feeling keeps increasing with each passing day. Now that she is no longer staying in my house, I love her more and want to always see her.When she told me we would see tonight, I knew it was her little way of inviting me over to the house. Well, I haven't spent a day without coming to visit after leaving work, ever since we reconciled.It has become a routine now.The door is thrown open and she jumps into my arms as though she already saw that it was no one but me or because she is happy about something."Hello to you, sweetheart", I say with a raised brow as she hugs me more. Confusion clouds my expression when she giggles.She releases me from her hold and cups my fac
Antonio's POVThe elevator dings open and I walk out with my briefcase swinging beside me. I walk towards my office, trying to take my mind off Xavier.I have just a week to provide evidence that he was responsible for my father's death and I really do not know how to go about it.I want to concentrate on work today because I am going to be signing a new deal today by noon.Immediately Harley left, I got up from the bed to get dressed and come to work so I won't end up masturbating because of my hard-on.I'm not supposed to be at work this early because of the deal we are going to sign by noon but I decided to come in and work on a few things before that time.I walk past my secretary's desk and get to the door. I insert the key to open it but surprisingly, the door opens itself.I raise a brow with the keys in my hands, trying to recall if I was the one who closed the door yesterday or if it was my secretary.I remember I was in a hurry to leave work yesterday because I was going out
Antonio's POVHarley snuggles closer into my arms, making it so difficult for me to let go and go to work.I do not feel like going to work today, I wish we could spend all day in bed. I never expected that she would spend the night with me last night but I was overjoyed when she said she would.This is what I have been dying to hear from her ever since she left the house. I am not saying anything about it anymore because I don't want to push her further. Besides, I am willing to wait for as long as she wants to come back to the house. I will keep waiting.I have been thinking hard and long about our relationship and what I want from this. Ever since I admitted my love for her, I knew I wanted her for life. This isn't meant to be a casual relationship. This is something that speaks of our future and I want that future with her.I want her to be my woman, my wife and I want us to always wake up in each other's arms.Harley doesn't want to come back to the house and I am more than despe
Harley's POVAs the car drives into the courtyard, I notice the car behind us take a U-Turn and drive off.The car behind is the one the guards were driving and now that they know we are home safely, they have gone back to meet Antonio in the restaurant.It feels as if the ride back home was slow and Alexis had fallen asleep in my arms after crying for so long.I am supposed to go home but I can't go home without knowing if Antonio is safe or not. I can't leave without seeing him walk through the front door safe and sound.My heart is heavy for no reason and I am scared. Why will Antonio not listen to me? The cops can handle it, he doesn't need to be there or involved. Can't he just come back home already and let Xavier be?The car stops and I jerk my head upright when Felix opens the door for me. Alexis's head is on my lap so I pick her up and I step out of the car carefully.I am glad she had fallen asleep. I couldn't console her when she was wailing because I was crying inside too
Harley's POV "I…I...am.. going to London", Jim stutters, squeezing his eyes shut. My mouth hangs open as shock courses through me. I can't process what he means by going to London. Is he talking about us? If that is it, then it's good news, even though I am going to miss my job. "London? What's happening there?" I close my open mouth and question him, ignoring the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach and the loud pounding of my heart. "I got a job offer there." He informs me. "That's great news. When are we going?" I watch him intensely, studying his countenance. I am facing him squarely outside his apartment, watching the rainbows after a heavy downpour when he announced the news to me. Jim has been my boyfriend for 5 years and he has been searching for a job since he lost the former one, all to no avail. He has no qualifications and that has made the search so difficult. "I'm going alone, Harley", he says and I raise my head instantly, glaring at him. "But I'll be ba
