Rosa…It’s been three weeks since my friends came to visit us. Mom had finished the first apartment with some help from my father and Ashton was pleased when he saw what she had done to the place. He immediately hired her to do the rest of the apartments. He even offered to hire people that were qua
Rosa...A month and a half later, we finally got our judgment day. I can't believe it was finally over.Serenity and Armando’s journey had reached an end. They had been prosecuted yesterday. We didn't need to be called in. Our testimony had been recorded and used as evidence in court. Yes, we had ma
Rosa…We have finally moved to our house. Ashton had helped me with the furniture. I loved how our house turned out looking in the end. I was happy to have a place to finally call my own after these two months we had been here in Italy, or was it longer? Time has flown by, that was for sure. We had
Rosa…My head felt heavy. Everything was dark around me. Where am I? What happened?I closed my eyes as the headache was killing me. I try to remember what happened. I tried to wipe the sweat from my head but I couldn't move my hands. Something was holding it tightly. I opened my eyes again but it

Rosa…I try to open my eyes; it takes a lot of effort. I can hear the sound of breathing near my head and the feel of fingers curling around my hand—warm fingers. I could hear the sound of beeping. I tried to open my eyes again; I was struggling. I was getting frustrated. Why won't my eyes open? I t
“What is wrong?” I asked him; my voice muffled due to the oxygen mask.“There is nothing wrong. We will talk about everything later, Amore,” he whispered and gave me another kiss on my forehead.The nurse looked between us and cleared her throat. “I have to give her some pain medicine,” she said, lo
On our way home, we stopped at a shop brimming with vibrant candies, chocolate bars, and treats in various shapes and sizes. Chloe's eyes widened in delight; candy was undoubtedly her weakness. She peered through the glass, contemplating her choices. Bruce stood beside me, arms crossed, both of us o
Ace…My feet were resting on the desk shared by Bella and me, our office now organized and neat, though I knew it wouldn’t last long. I had spent the early hours sorting through paperwork and issuing directives. As I brought a cigarette to my lips, I inhaled the acrid smoke, watching it swirl and gr
I appreciated Chloe's charming nature; she had stunning dark brown hair and a mature demeanor, yet she could be quite mischievous. It became clear that she had inherited my personality traits. Whenever she threw a fit, it was incredibly amusing. Ace, however, did not share my amusement; he seemed to
Richard shook his head disapprovingly at Ryder, clearly unhappy with how easily he succumbed to Chloe's antics. As for me, I didn’t mind at all. Ryder was her uncle, and he could spoil her if he wished. The food arrived, and I took a sip of my wine. Laughter filled the air as everyone enjoyed themse
Bella…I urged the maids to hurry up with the dining room as we were busy setting it up. Only the finest cutlery and crystal glasses were to be utilized. The table was to be adorned with white tablecloths and red placemats. I moved gracefully around the room in a black dress that accentuated my figu
“You have created a family, my love.” I returned her smile, gently rubbing her shoulder as I looked down at the way she cradled her so effortlessly. She traced a finger through her dark hair. "She’s going to look like you," she said with a soft chuckle. "What have you decided?" I asked, feeling a se
The atmosphere was intense. "It's okay, Bella. I'm right here with you." I gave a reassuring smile while holding her hand. The fear coursed through me. Her contractions came in waves, accompanied by a mix of screams and whimpers. I could see the exhaustion etched on her face, but I believed in her s
She sat down on the lounger, gazing straight ahead, the sun's glare making it difficult to look up. I approached her and settled down beside her on the spacious lounger, using my arm to support her head, creating a makeshift pillow. "Ashton called me a whale the other day," she scoffed. "What a jerk
Ace… I secured my firearm back onto my belt after taking a man's life. He had it coming; he was undermining me and it was intolerable. "Clean it up," I commanded with a snap of my fingers. My team sprang into action, quickly removed the blood, the body, and any trace of what had happened here. As
