She fell on his body and hugged him tightly. Melanie buried her face in his neck and started weeping amiably because that was really too much for her to endure. First, Adrian was confused as to why she started crying but when she hugged him more tightly, he understood everything without even her words that she was totally overwhelmed by what she had just done with him. He caged her back and caressed her head while softly kissing her ear. "Ssh…it's okay," he tried to calm her down but she continued to weep. "Don't cry, Doll. We are never going to do it again, don't worry," he murmured in her ear but she immediately pulled back and looked at him through her doe watery eyes. "I didn't mean like that," she told him in between her sobs. His eyes softened. Adrian cupped his crying doll's face. "Then why are you crying?" He asked, making her chin wobble. "Because that was feeling so unusual and different," He smiled at her answer and caressed her tears away. "A good different or a b
Adrian became confused by watching her wide eyes. She looked like she had zoned out. He shrugged her shoulders and said."Melanie…" Melanie shrugged herself and looked at him."What date is today?" She asked, making him startled. Adrian told her the date which turned her eyes more round and enlarged in shock."Melanie? Are you alright? What's happening?" He stated as he thought her throw ups had started affecting her mind now. That was why she was behaving like that.Melanie darted her wide gaze at him and uttered."Adrian, I'm late this month," she told him with a stupid smile started forming on her face. Her words made his brows furrowed in confusion."But where for?" He asked, untidily staring at her.Her smile dropped and got replaced with a scoff at his question. She felt like banging his empty head on the wall. This man was impossible. Sometimes he behaved too dumb to be true."I'm not going anywhere, you dumbhead. I'm talking about my monthly cycles," she elaborated further b
"What had happened to Aunt Lissa?" Her question froze Gale for a while. His expression turned gloomy at her words. Melanie's heart was pounding in pain as she dared to ask him that question. She hopefully stared at him to get her answer. "Melanie…. I think you should talk to Adrian about this because I have no right to get into this if he hasn't told you anything yet," he answered her, honestly because he knew it wasn't his place or story to tell. Melanie understood her mistake that she acted on her pure instincts. It was morally wrong to ask him about that matter when it was extremely personal and sensitive for Adrian. She sighed before nodding and dropping that topic. She offered him a tiny beam. "Please…take a seat. Rian will be here soon," Gale nodded and was about to sit down but stopped when they both heard the sound of the door opening. Melanie stretched her head and saw Adrian stepping inside with a frown but his frown turned into a slight shock by watching Gale there
Melanie stepped inside their bedroom and saw him standing before the mirror. He was opening his coat and then started opening the button of his shirt. With a soft sigh, she walked towards him. Melanie hugged him from behind which caused him to go still. "You don't need to hide your pain and mask your emotions from me, Rian," she softly stated while placing her head on his back Adrian dropped his hand down and just leaned against her soft and warm touch. Melanie slightly pulled back and then turned him around.A stinging sensation emerged inside her already aching heart by watching that gloominess in his eyes. She knew he was really very hurt after knowing that they were not going to be parents now, so was she but he was trying to mask his pain from her by trying to portray himself fine.Melanie stepped closer to him, eliminating all the distance between them. She wrapped her palms around his face."I know you're hurt, Rian and don't you dare to endure it all alone because…" she pau
"How dare you call me, Evan?" She seethed out, burning in pure rage and wrath. How that pathetic human dared to call her again? "Melanie, please listen to me. I…." "Just shut up and don't you dare to call me again," she warned him. Melanie was about to hang up the call but his words stopped her. "Melanie, Adrian had forced me to say those things to you," Her body went still at his words. "He had threatened me to say those things to you or else…." "Do you think, I'm that dumb that I will choose to believe you over him again, Evan?" She halted him. Her anger was running in her veins. "If you want your own good then don't even think about invading our life again because last time, I had stopped Rian but this time, I'll kill you myself if you even think about parting us again," is all she said before disconnecting the call. She slammed her phone on the table and sighed. The audacity of that fucker. He again tried to create misunderstandings between her and him but this time sh
Melanie placed her phone on the table and buried her face in her palms. Evan's words were continuously repeating in her head over and over again. Her heart was shrugging in pain, abruptly. Was Adrian capable of doing something like this? No, her heart was not ready to believe it. Her Rian would never fall this low that he would threaten someone with his family. Evan must be lying but then that video footage where she had clearly seen him threatening Evan to tell him those things to her. If Evan had sold her love then Adrian had bought it too. If Evan was at fault for selling her then Adrian wasn't right also for putting forward such an inhuman demand of trying to buy her. Had she just turned an object for both these men? One bought and the other sold but it was clear in that footage that Evan was forced to do that inhumanity to her but what was Adrian's reason for doing that to her?Melanie wiped her eyes and then clutched her phone. She knew the only way to get her all answers was….
Adrian got done with his meeting and the first thing he did after that was checking his phone. He saw Melanie message saying she was not feeling so she was taking her day off. His brows wiggled in concern but confusion too because he had just talked to her before going inside that meeting room. She was fine that time then what happened suddenly? He instantly called her to check on her but she didn't pick it up. He tried a couple more times but she still didn't pick it up. Why does this woman never pick up her phone when needed? Adrian decided to call Kade to know how she was now and thankfully she picked up her call. "Can you tell me where Melanie is and how she is now?" He asked Kade. "But sir, Melanie isn't here. She hasn't come here yet," she answered. Her answer stunned him. She had texted him about her leaving almost a couple of hours ago but she still hadn't reached home. "Call me whenever she will reach home," he stated and then hung up the call and immediately went out
Adrian took a shower in his room's bathroom and then wore his casual and comfortable jogger pants. Adrian was rubbing his head with his towel but his mind was still over her and her health. He decided to go to her room after this and then gave her those chocolates and candies which he had bought for her because he forgot to give them to her and then would give her a soft warm hug and everything would be alright. Nothing could overpower their love for each other. He would lighten up his doll's mood with his gentle and soft kisses and a little teasing. He smiled to himself.Adrian reached towards the table beside the bed where he had placed those candies and chocolates. He picked them up and was about to turn around to go to her when his phone beeped.He looked at his phone which was also placed on that table. He clutched it and took it up. Adrian saw a video message popping up on his screen from an unknown number. His brows furrowed in confusion by watching it. He opened that video an
"Happy birthday, mommy," Slowly unlatching her lashes, she blinked in order to clear her drowsy vision and the first thing that caused her attention was those beautiful green orbs of her 5 years old daughter. She sat on the bed and then opened her arms for her daughter. The 5 year old jumped on the bed and got on her mother's lap. "Thank you so much, my baby," the kid giggled in happiness until. "Happiest birthday, my doll…"that voice rasped in her ear from behind. She stretched her head and this time her eyes met with another pair of gleaming emerald eyes of her husband. "Thank you so much," she flashed him a beam. He leaned to her face and kissed her forehead. "Papa was hiding under the bed to wish you, mommy," their daughter informed her mother. Melanie chuckled at her words. "Well, you forgot it was your idea, my pretty lady, Adriana," Adrian said while picking his daughter, Adriana, in his arms. His daughter tittered and then pecked his cheek. "No secrets from mommy,"
"Congratulations. Mrs Salvatore is pregnant," Both Melanie and Adrian were too shocked to even react after hearing those words of the doctor. They both stared at the doctor like she had just slapped both of them on their faces.The doctor smiled at the couple's reaction and then cleared her throat, taking the couple back to their senses."Mr Salvatore, please bring Mrs Salvatore to my clinic tomorrow in the morning. I need to run some tests on her to confirm the news," she said and then got up, after passing a smile to the couple.The doctor left, leaving them alone. Melanie gulped and slowly travelled her eyes at her husband who was still standing beside her like a statue, completely frozen.She slowly got up on her knees on the bed and then cupped his face."Rian .." she softly took his name. He blinked before fixing his gaze at her. He lifted his palm and gently touched her tummy and took his eyes down at her abdomen. He stared at her tummy, still without saying anything."Rian…
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our beautiful couple of the night, Mr Adrian Salvatore and Mrs Melanie Salvatore," Everyone started clapping their hands after hearing the MC's words. The spotlight flashed on the host couple which caused a beautiful smile to appear on their faces.They both gave each other an alluring glance and then Adrian wrapped his arm around her waist. The guests started cheering and congratulating them. The couple thanked everyone, wholeheartedly."Many many congratulations, Mr and Mrs Salvatore. Hope you both will have an amazing and beautiful married life ahead," one of Adrian's clients wished them.The couple beamed at him and thanked him. The large beautifully decorated cake was served in front of them which caused a big smile to form on Melanie's face because Adrian had personally told the makers to make and decorate it as per her liking which was even a surprise for her."It's looking so beautiful and tasty," she couldn't help herself but to whisper
Staring at her reflection in the mirror, her hazel eyes started beaming. Her eyes wandered over her entire body and then shifted towards those clothes and jewellery, placed in front of her. She gently brushed her fingers over them and then smiled to herself until she felt those arms getting wrapped around her abdomen.She didn't even need to turn around to look to know to whom those arms belonged. Her smile widened by feeling the beautiful warmth of that embrace."And why is my wifey still not ready for our wedding celebration party?" That raspy voice softly cooed in her ear. She slowly shifted her eyes up from those clothes and looked at the mirror where her eyes met with those alluring emerald eyes which had captured her heart in them.Her heart tingled in content. She wrapped her arms over his and leaned against his chest."Looking handsome as always, Mr Salvatore," she complimented him by gazing at his attire which was a matte black tuxedo.A beam crept on his face at her words.
"Because till the day, I am alive…I won't let any person or thing harm or hurt her," Adrian yelled at his tossed head.He was about to hit Arthur again but Melanie held back his palm."Let it be, Rian," He snapped his head and saw her staring at him with her teary eyes. Melanie looked at Arthur."Do you know your one wrong step has resulted in destroying so many lives, Arthur?" Her voice didn't hold anger or rage but hurt, disappointment and pain."I lost that person whom I used to consider as my mother," her tears turned more vigorous, aching Adrian's heart."I lost that person whom I used to consider one of the strongest pillars of my life from my childhood," her voice started breaking."I lost everything just because of your one pathetic plan and wicked want, Arthur,"Adrian clutched back her palm and wrapped his arm around her back by witnessing her state."You have just lost your company today. Someone has taken your wealth from you today and it's hurting and bothering you so mu
Arthur and Daniel dashed inside Hayes Corporation at the same time. Anger and confusion was burning in their eyes as to why they had been kicked out of their own companies by saying the shares of their companies had been transferred to someone's name who had ordered not to let them step inside their companies anymore. They had transferred their shares to Erica's name. Only she had that authority to do that but why would she do that and for those answers, they had reached the Hayes Corporation.The security let them inside and Erica's manager told them she was waiting for them in her cabin. They both stepped inside her cabin with uncountable questions emerging in their heads.They saw her chair was turned around and its back was facing them."Ms. Hayes, what is this? Why have we been told that you have transferred our shares to someone else's name and that person has restricted us from entering our own companies?" Daniel uttered, completely displeased and angry. On the other hand Arth
"Welcome, Mr Waylen and Mr Gomez, Ms. Hayes will be here soon," Erica's manager informed them.They had come to Hayes Corporation to sign the contract. They had agreed to accept her condition because their greediness for that profit margin of the project was too much to let it slip from their hands so easily, especially when they didn't have to spend a single penny but in return was getting so much. They were too blinded by their greediness to thoroughly check the pros and cons of the deal."Good morning, gentlemen," Erica stepped inside the meeting room. They both stood up from their seats and offered a wide grin. She returned the gesture with a plain smile and spoke."I am very glad to know about your decisions. Thanks for accepting my deal," she walked towards the table and extended her palm to them one by one.They shook her hand with her and then Arthur said "We are glad that you want to work with our companies, Ms. Hayes. We are honoured by your approach," She flashed him a p
"Ms. Hayes, they both are here," Erica's manager informed her which caused a slight grin to form on her face."Let them wait for a while. Tell them, I'll meet them within 10 minutes," she said. Her manager nodded and then left from her cabin.Erica grabbed her phone and called him."Hello, Adrian," "Hey, is everything alright?" He asked."Yeah…. they have already reached here," "Perfect. Don't rush things and make sure they sign those papers at any cost," he uttered. She hummed."Don't worry. I will do my best," she stated."Thanks. All the very best and be careful," "Okay…take care," "Bye," Erica hung up the call and then looked at her watch.Meanwhile in the meeting room, both Daniel and Arthur had reached, along with some other businessmen because Hayes Corporation had issued a proposal to a couple of enterprises and all of them accepted their proposal because Hayes Corporation had a tremendous reputation in the business world and was one of the most successful and powerful c
Melanie slowly opened her eyes and found herself wrapped in her love's arms. He was also asleep. She smiled by watching his alluringly handsome face. Indeed her husband had gotten a blessed beauty. Yeah.. she remembered getting jealous of his beauty but who thought one day that beauty would be hers because now he was her. Melanie pulled the duvet more and covered their tangled bodies. Last night, they both took a shower together and then prepared dinner together and ate it. After that, they watched a movie together and she didn't even remember when she passed out in his arms in the middle of the movie. She pecked his lips, gently and slowly whispered in his ear."I love you so much, my handsome hubby," She thought he was sleeping but that smile crept on his face after she said those words to him. Adrian slowly opened his eyes and looked into those celestial hazel orbs. He pecked her forehead and pulled her more in his warm embrace."I love my wifey the most," he uttered in his morn
