Chapter 21WARNING!!! SEXUAL SCENE!!!Third-person POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The following morning, Alessandro and Lisa took a shower together. Alessandro washes her hair and then her back. He spins her around and kisses her, grabbing her ass. Lisa throws her legs around his torso, grabbing his hair. Alessandro slides inside her, then picks up his pace as he slams in and out of her. “O fuck,” Lisa screams. “Oh fuck, baby!” Alessandro screams with every thrust. Soon, they both find their release and wash themselves again.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“We are going on a tour this morning; we can grab breakfast at one of the local restaurants," Alessandro tells Lisa as they get dressed. Lisa turns to Alessandro and notices he's wearing a khaki short chino with a white V-neck shirt and his van. She stares at him until she hears him say, “Like what you're seeing?”“I wasn't staring.” With a blush, sh
Chapter 22The next few days, Alessandro kept himself busy. He goes to his head office early and comes back late. One night, he came home early, just as the others went down for dinner. “Ali! Your home.” Lilani shouted and went to hug him. “Hello, princess,” Alessandro says when he picks her up. “Do you remember Father and Daughter Day tomorrow?” The little girl asks him “Yes, that's why I'm home early tonight; I will never forget it”.Lisa watched them as the two talked. She missed him this past week. She notices he hasn't shaved in a while, but he looks good with the small beard that's appearing on his face. She wonders why he ignores her just after the week they spent together. Maybe he just has a lot of work to do. Alessandro walks in with Lilani in his arms. “Hello, Lisa. How was your day?” He asks her calmly. “Hey, it was fine; thank you and yours?”“Same old, same old.” He takes his seat, and Maria brings the food. They start to eat, but Alessandro never says a word durin
Chapter 23Lisa was having breakfast the next morning when Antonio came to her and told her she had a phone call. Lisa frowns and walks to the phone, “Lisa Mancini, hello.”“Lisa!” she hears her aunt talking on the other end. “I called you to let you know that Grandpa was in an accident last night. Grandpa's condition is very serious.” Her aunt explains. “Thank you very much for letting me know. I will return to South Africa as soon as possible.” Lisa informs her aunt. After that, she hung up the phone and turned around with tears in her eyes. Alessandro walks up to Lisa and sees her crying. “Lisa, what's wrong?” He was concerned when he noticed the tears in her eyes. “I just received a call from South Africa. My grandpa had an accident last night. I will have to go to South Africa immediately.” She tells him. “I'm sorry to hear that, my little one,” Alessandro says sympathetically. “I will arrange for us to leave for South Africa within the next two hours.”“I appreciate your th
Chapter 24WARNING!! SEXUAL SCENE!!Grandpa is back at the farm, and it seems like he's getting better with each passing day. Alessandro and Grandpa Johan seem to be getting along very well. Alessandro and the old man talk about Alessandro's business, and the old man tells him about his farming. Alessandro enjoys this visit, as does Grandpa.Two weeks have passed since they arrived in South Africa. Each day, Alessandro sees a new sight of Lisa. One night, he asks Lisa if he can talk to her. “I... um... I was thinking... if you are willing, then maybe we could give our marriage a real chance?” Nervously, he asks her. Lisa smiles brightly and jumps into his arms. “Of course, I would give it a try.” Alessandro looked into her eyes and then bent down, capturing her lips. “You just made me the happiest man alive.” He says this and spins her around in his arms. Lisa has never felt this happy in her whole life. Finally, she gets to belong to someone. They went for a walk outside, and Lisa
Chapter 25Lisa woke up the next day with no trace of Alessandro. It's been a week since he's spent most of his time at the office. She worries about him but doesn't know what to do. She got up and went to the bathroom. Suddenly, she feels dizzy and holds on to the basin. Maybe it's because I didn't eat last night, she thought. After finishing her shower, she went to her wardrobe and decided to wear a black top with her white long pants and black sandals. She let her hair down and went downstairs. As soon as she smells the sausages, a wave of nausea hits her, and she runs to the bathroom and throws up. She stood up and rinsed her mouth, then went back to the kitchen. “Are you feeling alright, Mrs. Mancini?” Maria is concerned. “Yes, I think I have a stomach bug or something. Can you please put some food in a container so that I can take it to Alessandro and the other two?” Lisa asks with a smile. Maria got the containers out and prepared a dish for the three men.After breakfast, Lis
Chapter 26Alessandro opens the door, walks straight to his office, and pours a drink for himself. Lisa sighs as she gets out and walks to their room. She took off her pajamas and went to the shower. Lisa fell to the ground, crying. “Why would he behave like that?” She thought. She feels so alone. There is no one to talk to. She wishes her mother were still here so she could give her advice on how to handle this situation. Lisa let herself cry, then stood up, washed herself, and went to bed. Alessandro was just about to pour his third shot of whiskey when Antonio took the glass. “Mr. Mancini, I know it's not my place, but what's got you so upset that you are drinking?”Alessandro laughs: “Can you believe I'm going to be a father?”“And why is that such a bad thing, Mr. Mancini? I can see that Lisa means something to you; I can see the love you have for her every time she's around you.” Antonio tells him. “I am afraid, Antonio; someone's out to hurt us. What if I can't protect Lisa o
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 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
