Chapter 27It's been a week since they found out Lisa was pregnant. Sophia was over the moon when she heard the news and immediately went to their house. Alessandro and Gabriele just look at the two women like they have gone crazy. Grandma and grandpa said they knew the two of them would get together and are excited about becoming great-grandparents.Alessandro and the others work hard to track down Mr. Lombardi and Bianca, but with no success so far. He just hopes they will drop their revenge and leave them in peace. Today, they are finally going to see their baby. Lisa is excited and can't stop smiling. Winter is almost here, and it's getting colder every day. Lisa decides to wear a knitted white long-sleeve pullover sweater and a pair of blue jeans with her black and white Nike trainers. She put her hair in a high ponytail and applied lip gloss. Alessandro was already waiting for her when she came down the stairs.“Are you ready? He asks, looking nervous. “Yes, and you?” Lisa smile
Chapter 28It's been three weeks since they went to the doctor. Alessandro is rarely at home. Lisa decided to visit Alessandro and get some food for him. “Maria, I'm going to Mr. Mancini; will you please get me a basket?” Lisa asks Maria Lisa wants to surprise Alessandro with a picnic, so she decided to pack his favorite food. Soon, Lisa was ready to leave for the office. Lisa stops at Mancini Enterprise and gets the basket from the back. Lisa went in, and the girl at reception greeted her warmly. “Good morning, Mrs. Mancini; how are you today? You can go straight up.”"Great, thanks you,” Lisa greeted him back and then went to the elevator. She can't wait to see Alessandro; it's been three weeks since she last saw him. He comes home when she's sleeping, and sometimes not at all. The elevator door opened, and Lisa stepped out and walked to Alessandro's office. She was just about to open the door when she heard giggling. "Could that be Bianca's voice?" She thought. Once she opens the
Chapter 29Alessandro paces his office up and down. He thinks about what has happened since he went to get Bianca out of the strip club. That day, he was mad when he realized Bianca and her father knew about the baby he and Lisa were expecting. He needed to act fast to keep his family safe until he could get to Mr. Lombardi. He wants to kick himself for all the pain he's going to cause to keep them safe, and thinking of Bianca and how she suddenly acts around him wants to make him vomit. She would make him breakfast and lunch and bring them to the office. He then realizes that she is just acting and that he only loves Lisa, and he can't even tell her that he loves her. Now that Lisa is gone with his child, he needs to get her. His thoughts were interrupted when his phone rang. “Good morning, Mr. Mancini; I found Mrs. Mancini.” His PI informs him. “Send me the address, please.” He tells the PI. After a few minutes, he got the address and called Piero to get the car ready. Sometime la
Chapter 30After work, Alessandro tells Bianca to meet him at the penthouse and walks to his private elevator. He thinks about Lisa and their child and how he's going to miss out on every doctor's appointment. He knows this is his fault, but he doesn't have another option. He wishes he could be with them, but he has to protect his family until he can find Mr. Lombardi. He doesn't notice someone following him the next moment; everything is dark, and he gets shoved into a van. “We got him, boss.”. Alessandro hears a guy say it as he struggles to untie himself. He needs to get out of there. What if they go after Lisa? They suddenly stop, and he hears the door open, and then someone takes him out of the van. “Well, well, look who came to visit us.”. He hears a familiar voice. Suddenly the bag is taken off his head, and he sees all three of his best friends standing in front of him. “You know there are other ways to get to me?” He asks them with an angry expression. He doesn’t know why t
Chapter 31Lisa looks up at Mr. Lombardi “What the hell do you want, and where is my sister?” She demands to know. She refuses to display any sign of fear toward him. Mr. Lombardi begins to laugh, sending shivers down her spine. “You stupid little girl, you should have listened to me the first time, and as for your little brat of a sister, she is fine... for now.” He tells Lisa and walks closer to her. “Now, as for you, TSK TSK TSK, what should I do with a pregnant woman? You will be no good as a sex slave.” He taunts and continues, “But we can keep you here until you deliver, or maybe we should just get rid of the little bastard inside you?” Mr. Lombardi laughed evilly as he looked at Lisa. He wanted her the first time he laid eyes on her, and now she is right here with him. “Don't you dare touch me or my child; Alessandro and I are getting a divorce!” Lisa shouts at him, trying not to show her fear, but deep down inside she is afraid of what he will do to her. Mr. Lombardi slaps h
Chapter 32Lisa woke up all sore, and when she looked down, she saw blood. She instantly holds on to her stomach, hoping that nothing has happened to her children. The door opens, and one of the guards opens the door and walks toward her. “Get up; the boss wants to see you”. The guard notifies her. Lisa looks up and then tries to stand up, but her body is sore all over. The guard helped her up and put his arms around her to help her walk. “Don't worry, I will let Mr. Mancini know where you are; you just need to be strong for a few more hours.” He whispers into her ear. Lisa looks up at him; she can't believe what she is hearing—someone is willing to help her. She just hopes Alessandro will be in time to save her and Lilani; she doesn't know how much longer she can be strong for both her and her sister. Lisa noticed they stopped, and the guard knocked on the closed door. “Come in”. She hears Mr. Lombardi's voice. The guard opens the door and pushes Lisa gently inside. “Look at you.
Chapter 33Lisa woke up when the door opened, and she noticed the guard she talked to walking up to her. “Get ready; Alessandro will be arriving in ten minutes.” The guard says. He looks at Lisa and notices how weak she is, and then he notices the blood. He bends down and picks her up. “I'm going to put you in this corner so if somebody wants to get you, they won't find you, I will tell your husband where you are”. He talks softly and puts her down gently. Lisa nods weakly. She doesn't have any energy left in her body. She just wishes Alessandro would hurry and rescue her sister. She doesn't think her body is strong enough to escape. Lisa closed her eyes, praying her sister would be fine."Is everyone ready? You all know what to do. We need to ensure a safe and swift evacuation for Lilani and Lisa.” Johnny tells his guys. “We are going in five, and the driver is ready. Let us know when you find them.”. He continues. Alessandro's impatience grows as he yearns to swiftly retrieve his w
Chapter 34The next morning, Lisa woke up feeling someone's hand around her. She carefully moves, looks over her shoulder, and sees Alessandro sleeping next to her. Lisa closed her eyes and recalled everything that happened the day before. She holds on to her stomach and remembers the doctor telling her that she lost the baby. She hastily grabs Alessandro and shakes him. “Wake up; you need to get me to the hospital, please.”. Alessandro opened his eyes and asked, “What happened? Are you okay?”. He asks Lisa, now fully awake, and moves closer to her to look for any signs of injuries. “No, the doctor told me last night that I lost the baby. I want to get checked by my doctor to know for sure. Please, take me.” Lisa begs him, then gets out of bed and walks to the bathroom. Alessandro doesn't have a clue what's going on but decides to get up to take Lisa to the hospital. Lisa takes a shower and realizes she doesn't have any clothes whatsoever. She wrapped the towel around her body and w
Chapter 50Two years later,.“Alexander! Gabriele! And JP!” Lisa shouts when she sees the mess in the kitchen."Please, come and tidy up this chaos!" She yells when they walk into the kitchen."Mommy, it was Alexander." Gabriele points his little finger at his brother."Nah, it was actually JP," Gabriele retorted.“I don't care who it was because we all know the three of you did this together,” Lisa says with her hands on her heaps.“What's going on here?” Lisa hears her husband's voice.“They made a mess with flour and eggs.” Lisa sights. Alessandro looks at the mess the boys made.“We sowwy daddy. We wanted to surprise Mommy and Lilian with a cake.” Alexander explains with his head down.“That was a nice gesture, guy, but you must clean up this mess and get ready,” Alessandro says sternly.The triplets quickly start to clean the kitchen. “I'm going to get Lilian ready for the party; please make sure these three are ready before everyone arrives,” Lisa tells him, walking out of the ki
Chapter 49Alessandro tells Lisa that he will be back late. “I'm going to meet up with the guys. Go and take a rest.” He kisses Lisa and then leaves with Kevin.“They are waiting for us with everything we need,” Kevin informs him. The drive to the house feels like an eternity for Alessandro. When they stop in front of the house, Johnny and Jake are already waiting for them.“Where are they?” Alessandro asks as soon as he climbs out of the car.“Follow me,” Jake replies, looking at Johnny. Alessandro notices how angry and disappointed Johnny looks but decides not to ask. They walk inside the basement, where three chairs stand with lights showing each one.“Alessandro! Baby! You came!!” Bianca shouts as soon as she sees Alessandro.“You thought that I would come to rescue you?” Alessandro sneered.Bianca looks confused at him. “What are you talking about, baby? They called you to come and get me!”Alessandro starts laughing. “You think that I will come to you? Haha! This was all part of
Chapter 48Alessandro takes Lisa into his arms and whispers. “Why didn't you tell me where you were?” Lisa didn't answer, too afraid.“I'm asking you a question! Why didn't you tell me where you were when you remembered who you were?” He asks in a low, dangerous voice. Lisa shook her head and opened her eyes. Alessandro was now staring down at the triplets.“I'm sorry, baby,” Lisa whispers and notices he is still not looking at her, and it hurts so bad.“Lisa?” Sophia broke the tension between them.“O my! It's you!” Sophia ran to Lisa when she saw it was Lisa. Lisa hugs Sophia while keeping her eyes on Alessandro.“We missed you so much.” Sophia cries.“I'm sorry, Sophia. I wish none of this ever happened.” Lisa whispers with tears flowing down her cheeks. Sophia let Lisa go and stepped aside, so the others could greet her. Lisa hugs everyone and cries out of happiness."Hello, my dear; you don't know how much we have missed you," Grandma tells Lisa as she hugs her."I have missed you
Chapter 47Everyone sits around the dining table, curious why Alessandro wants to talk to them so urgently. “Ali!” Lilani greets him as soon as he enters the dining room. “Hey, little one.” He went and kissed her on the head, then looked around the table and noticed everyone he cares about was there. “Thank you, Maria; this looks delicious.” Maria smiles at her boss. This was one of Lisa's favorite Lisa has shown her how to make “vetkoek” and mince. No one talks during dinner; everyone is wondering what Alessandro wants to say.After dinner, Alessandro asks them to follow him to the living room. “Thank you all for coming. What I'm about to say will come as a shock to you but no one must know about this.” Alessandro looks at them, and they nod. "Well, first thing, I'm taking you all to a safe house. Bianca wants to hurt everyone close to me.”“What are you talking about?” Gabriele interrupts. Alessandro gives him a look to shut up. “As I was explaining, Bianca hired someone to kill
Chapter 46Johnny and Jake soon arrive at the bar. “Hey, guys, what's so urgent?” Jake asks, his eyebrows raised. Alessandro shows them to sit down. “Can we get you something to drink first?” Kevin asks nervously because he knows they will have his head. Alessandro watches as Kevin gets nervous. He realizes he's trying to buy some time before dropping the bomb. A waiter brings more drinks and as soon as she leaves, Johnny asks, "Okay, will one of you tell us what's going on? Kevin looks like he's going to faint any second now.”Kevin laughs nervously. “Well, then the short version is... um, Lisa. She's still alive.” Johnny and Jake exchanged looks and then looked at Kevin as if he had just grown two heads. “What are you talking about?” Jake asks, breaking the silence. “I found out Bianca wanted to hire an assassin to take Lisa and the boys out, so I asked one of my guys to pretend to be an assassin. We got a body out of the mortuary and made the body look like Lisa. On the day of t
Chapter 45A few months after her funeral, everything seemed lifeless for him. The house felt empty without Lisa's presence. Alessandro could smell her everywhere and still can. In the kitchen and their bedroom. The pillows cover everything that smells of Lisa.After that day, he saw the SUV outside the graveyard He called Johnny to tell him, but Johnny just told him that he imagined that he was seeing things. Maybe he's right; he needs to focus on the children instead of making assumptions about who visits the graveyard.Alessandro sits in his office, looking outside from where he can see Rome. What is life if you lose the one person who made life worth living?“Mr. Mancini?” He slowly turns around and looks at Leonardo. He has been quieter than ever. It's starting to worry the people close to him. Alessandro has been walking around the house and office like a ghost.“Yes?” Alessandro replied.“It's been three months, Sir, and we are worried about you. You must...”“Yes, it's been thr
Chapter 44“Miss? Miss, can you hear me? What is your name?” A woman in white asked.“Her name is Annabelle Jackson, like I told you.” A man she's never seen before tells the nurse. Why can't I remember my name? The young lady thought."Sir, may I inquire if you two are related?" The nurse asks again. “Yes, she's my sister.” The man tells the nurse while looking at the girl. “Okay, you almost died on us, but the doctor managed to pull you through. You have been in a coma for a week now.” The nurse tells her. “The doctor will be here shortly to check on you.” With that, the nurse left, leaving her and the man alone. “So you are my brother? Do I have any other family?” She asks him. He nods and says, "Yes, your older brother." We have a younger sister too; her name is Ariana Jackson she's 23 years old. My name is Sebastian Jackson. I'm thirty-five years old. Our parents died over ten years ago in an accident. I am the one who raised you and Ariana.” Sebastian tells her. The young
Chapter 43Everyone came. Alessandro had Lisa's family come with his private jet. His family and their friends—everyone came. Sadly, this is the day of Lisa's funeral. Minutes later, three limousines arrive at the mansion. Everyone steps into the limousines. Alessandro and Sophia have triplets with them. Alessandro dreads this day. He wishes Lisa was here with him and the boys. How will he raise them without her? How must he continue without her? He never thought he would love someone as much as he loves Lisa. She was his sunshine during the stormy, dark days in his life. She's the reason he wakes up every morning, but now it all seems impossible without her by his side.The family arrived at the funeral location where the funeral would take place. The atmosphere not only looks gloomy but also feels gloomy. Everywhere he looks, there are no smiles. “I hate this. Why did she have to die.” Alessandro was tough as he went to sit in front. The flowers are white Lilies, as this was Lisa's
Chapter 42Three months have passed since Lisa gave birth to the triplets. Everything has been going great; the boys are angels. Lisa thought it would be hard to have triplets, but they proved her wrong. Alessandro is a loving father and helps Lisa a lot during the night. He will help Lisa feed and change diapers. Lisa is grateful for a husband like him. Lilani couldn't believe that her sister had three babies in her belly and wanted to know if she had stolen the other two. She fell in love with them instantly. The guys mocked Lisa, and she's got problems coming when they are all grown up. She must admit she's outnumbered by the four Mancini men in her household. Grandpa was excited when he heard that all three were boys and promised to come and visit soon. “Maria I'm going to go to the shop to get milk and diapers for the boys. Will you be alright with them alone?” Lisa asks her. “Si, Mrs. Mancini, we will be alright,” Maria assures her boss. “I won't be long; Mr. Mancini will be h
