Emilia's POV.

"What was that about, Riccardo?" I asked him.

We reached home about thirty minutes ago and Aria immediately went to Roberto after she innocently told Riccardo all about her day; from playing games with Jack all day to lunch. She didn't help the matter cause the more she kept mentioning Jack's name, the madder Riccardo got.

"I should be asking you that, Emilia. What was that all about?" He asked.

"It is not what it looked like..."

He started pacing his room. He was standing and roaming the room while I was seated on the bed with my hands folded like I was some type of criminal. It is just...I want to explain things to him as calmly as I can without getting him even more upset. I don't want that.

"Just stop... you should know better than to start with that line if you are trying to explain yourself, baby girl." He said.

The endearment wasn't as sweet as it would sound on a normal day, this one was laced with malice and anger.

    Riccardo’s POV. I woke up to someone snuggling up to me. It was weird cause I hadn't slept in the same bed as anyone since the night I almost got my wife killed. In fact, I haven't had any good sleep since then. It took me a while to remember last night's events and a little longer to realize that it was my wife who was being all snuggly and clinging on to me. I pulled back a little so I would be able to stare at her face. She was fast asleep and her lips were pursed in a pout that looked very similar to Aria's face when she was trying to get her way. Her long lashes were fanning her cheeks and she looked ethereal and so beautiful. I don't know how I made the mistake of falling asleep beside her last night. I was exhausted and I knew I needed to sleep but I have not been able to sleep for a while now so I had already given up on sleep. I stretched my hand and slowly pushed back the few strands of hair that were on her face. She opened her eyes almost immediately and locked eyes with

    Emilia's POV. "It would be nice if Daddy were here," Aria said. We were at the amusement park. "You know he wouldn't miss this if he didn't have work," I said softly and she nodded. "I know. It's just...unfortunate." She said with a sigh. "Do you want to go back home? We could spend the rest of the day with Roberto and play games." I offered. We have been here for a while anyway. We have gone on every slide and merry-go-round and literally participated in every single thing that we could find. We decided to get some cotton candy and a cold drink. "Should we do that?" She asked. I shrugged and smoothened her hair. "You tell me. We will do whatever you want, Aria." "We should go home then. I have had enough fun. We can come back when daddy has time and..." She stopped talking and her eyes widened all of a sudden and I looked in the direction that she was looking. It was Riccardo, he was walking towards us in his usual black outfit and a huge bouquet in one hand and a little pink

    Riccardo's POV. That was close. I was so close, very close to losing everything I hold dear to me. Enzo had sent word that he finally figured out how to reach those guys and that I needed to come home immediately, that was why we had to leave like that earlier. We have spent days and nights trying to figure these guys out so I couldn't wait to hear what Enzo had to say when that attack happened. I have always had the ability to sense when danger is lurking, I have always been alert like that but these days I just...I have been too relaxed, too happy, I have been so wrapped up in what I have with Emilia that I have somehow, unconsciously let down my guard and to think I almost lost her today because of that. The attack was planned and it looked to me like the main target was Emilia. The fact that she could have died if I didn't notice what was going on in time. I can't even bring myself to think about what would have happened if I hadn't shown up at the park, it would have been just

    Riccardo's POV.I still couldn't bring myself to tell Emilia that those people were out to get her. I woke up next to her again this morning and I have given up on trying to stay away from her. It looks like the universe has other plans for us Whenever I try to stay away I still always somehow manage to stay with her, it is starting to look like I couldn't stay away from her even if I tried and I don't really want to try anymore. The feel of her body beside me, the sound of her breathing, her smell, and that sleepy smile she gives me whenever she wakes up....yeah, I couldn't stay away even if I tried. "You are going to have to allow your bodyguards back," I told her while she was getting ready to leave for work. She already got Aria dressed for school so she was just left with getting ready. She turned to look at me, her hair was tied up in a really messy bun, dressed in only my shirt that stopped right below her ass. "I don't think so." She said. I already knew it won't be that ea

  • The Don’s Surprise Baby   Chapter 50

    Emilia's POV.How does one get over the fact that they almost died? I was shaken up last night. In all of my life I have never come so close to dying like did yesterday and considering my father's occupation that is like a...win. I have smiled throughout this morning and tried to act as normal as possible. I didn't want my fear to show, I couldn't have Riccardo worrying about me and not being able to get anything done out of worry. I have never been so scared my entire life and I soon realized that the fear of losing Riccardo and Aria... nearly drove me crazy, scratch that, it is driving me crazy. My world almost ended yesterday, all it would have taken is that one bullet, and I...I would have lost them. I can't explain it but it also felt like those bullets were meant for me, like it was directed at me and no one else. Now I don't know whether to feel relieved or worried about that fact. At least, Aria and Riccardo were not the targets but then again I was the target and I could ha

    Riccardo's POV. We pulled up at the cafe after I dropped Aria and Emilia off. Enzo was right, the so-called cafe was sketchy as hell. The outside looked as normal as possible, a normal person would not suspect that anything illegal was happening in there but it doesn't take much to know that the cafe wasn't your usual cafe. First, there was no one manning the counter and they had like three 'customers' who were all mean-looking men dressed in black suits. So yeah, very sketchy. Enzo had managed to get an appointment with them today. We had a plan, yeah. He has a listening device tucked in the pocket of his suit jacket. He would be the one to approach them since he was the one who booked the appointment. The plan was for him to tell him that he wanted me dead. "Are you ready?" I asked Enzo and he nodded his head. "More than ready. Let's get this thing over with." He said. I felt the same way. I want this thing done and over with. I know there is no such thing as total safety in my

    Riccardo's POV. I almost panicked when we got to Emilia's salon and I saw the closed sign but I was able to calm myself down a bit when I saw that the guys I had positioned outside her salon were still there. I walked into the salon and was immediately welcomed by Aria's puppy. It kept barking and wagging his tail and I ended up giving the poor puppy the attention it clearly wanted. I picked it up and ruffled its fur. "Hey." Emilia's voice pulled my attention away from the puppy and to her. My heart did something funny and strange when I laid my eyes on her. I don't know why my chest was feeling strange but she looked so goddamn beautiful that it made my heart hurt. Her hair was still tied in that messy ponytail that she tied it in this morning because I was too busy devouring her and we ended up taking up most of the time she was supposed to use to get ready. She looked breathtaking and I needed to kiss her. Acting on that need, I walked closer to her and pulled her in for a kiss

    Emilia's POV.I woke up very much naked in the arms of my husband. Well, not totally naked, I still had my panties on and Riccardo's dick was still buried in my pussy. I flexed my walls around him and he let out a pained groan. He let out a pained groan. "Don't do that, baby girl."I smiled against his neck. "Sorry. Couldn't help it." It was safe to say that I was feeling much better than I was earlier today. I don't ever want this moment to end. I want to stay right here wrapped up in his arms like this forever. Normally, that thought would have scared me. It would have probably sent me running for the hills but I felt strangely calm now. "While I would have indulged you and myself on a normal day." He mumbled while petting my hair and placing a kiss on the crown of my head. "We have to go pick Aria up from school." He added. That woke me up and I moved my face away from where it was buried in his neck and looked at the time. "How long was I asleep for?" I asked him wide-eyed.

  • The Don’s Surprise Baby   Epilogue

    Emilia's POV. 7 months later... I waddled down the stairs for dinner. I was supposed to wait for Riccardo to come and fetch me for dinner but I was done being treated like an invalid even though I feel much like an invalid. My stomach was already four times its usual size and I felt like I was going to explode very soon to top it all off, I couldn't even see my feet anymore. I got to the dining room and it was filled with my family and friends chatting away and laughing. It has been 7 months since that incident happened. Aria was thankfully oblivious to what happened. Gabriella had drugged her and the doctors had to flush the drug away from her system. Speaking of Gabriella, her father apologized profusely for what she had done even though apologies could not solve anything. She did not only attempt to kill me and my daughter. She killed the parents of the man she claimed to be in love with, people who cherished her, and she also killed poor Dante. Riccardo told me all about how D

  • The Don’s Surprise Baby   Chapter 67

    Riccardo's POV. I would probably dwell on the fact that I just signed my divorce papers if I didn't have a daughter to save. I tried to wave it off but I knew something wasn't right. It is impossible for things to just go haywire like that. She has had the papers for a while? Like hell. I just signed the fucking papers to make her happy for now. After I have this whole was sorted out, I will get to the bottom of things. After I have brought Aria back home safe and sound. If she thinks she can just put an end to our marriage because she wants to then she should think again. I have every intention to win my wife back. "Riccardo..." Enzo called softly. He was probably feeling bad for me or something but I trust him not to mention it. "Do we have anything yet?" I asked him. He nodded. "I got a code. I am just going to get it interpreted." "Okay." We are close. I just need Aria to be safe. "Are you okay, Ric?" Enzo asked. "I am fine. Let's find Aria." It took him another ten minu

    Emilia's POV.I woke up with a start and found Riley and Isabella on either side of me. It took about one second for me to remember what had happened. "I need to go," I said immediately and tried to get out of bed. Riley held me down. "You are going to stay in bed, Emilia." "Excuse me? My daughter is out there somewhere. She is alone with that crazy bitch and you are asking me to stay in bed? Are you being real?" "Riccardo is already out there trying to find her..." "And I should be out there with him trying to find our daughter. She is my daughter too for fuck sake. I can't just sit down here and do nothing." "What do you plan to do then?" Isabella asked. I got out of bed faster than I had ever done. "I don't know but I won't just sit down here and do nothing." "You should think about the baby, Emilia. This is..." "The baby is fine. I am fine. I was just shocked earlier and that is it." I said. "I have to go find my daughter." I started heading for the door and Isabella qui

    Riccardo's POV. Gabriella? I couldn't wrap my head around it. Gabriella has always been around. She was there for me for a while after I lost my parents before he father had her shipped off to study Maybe Riley is right, I have been so blind but...fuck it, it is Gabriella. I wasn't sure what went down after Riley's story. I know she and Emilia had a talk and I think they are still friends. Weird that, I never thought I would see the day when my ex and my wife would be friends and good ones at that. "The party can't hold," I said out loud. "What no. What are you going to tell, Aria?" Emilia exclaimed. "Her birthday party is all she has been talking about for weeks now, Riccardo."Enzo already left us in the living room and he was somewhere in my office trying to track Gabriella. "I can't keep you two safe if..." "Get more security. Lock the gates, search every single person if you have to but the party is going to happen." Emilia said. "Emilia..." "If you are going to canc

    Emilia's POV. We spent hours in the mall. We ended up buying more things than we needed. Okay, let me correct that, I ended up buying more things than I needed. Don't blame me, shopping was a nice distraction. I found that I stopped worrying so much about everything that was currently going wrong with my life and just shopped. I bought some maternity dresses and clothes. It was already obvious that I would grow about three times my normal size to accommodate the little peanut in my stomach. When I was pregnant with Aria, I didn't get so big. My bump did not even start showing until I was about six months along.We picked Aria up on our way back home and she was very excited to see us especially when she saw the car loaded with party supplies and bags. We chatted all the way back home. She kept talking about how excited she was and how she had invited the entire school to the party— I exaggerated that part a little bit but she did say something about inviting all her classmates. I was

    Emilia's POV. I woke up feeling the same way that I have been feeling for days now. Not sad, not happy. Just there. I put on a smile for my baby girl and got her ready for school. She of course asked for her daddy and I managed to come up with some excuse for him, I can't even remember what I said to her anymore but I know it was enough to cause she didn't question it. I dropped her off at school and Raffaele and some other bodyguards stayed with her. I drove to my workplace to pick Riley up. I have my doctor's appointment this morning and she offered to come with me and from there, we will go to the mall to get some things that we would need for Aria's party tomorrow. The party will be held in the garden, the event planner will be coming over in the evening to put everything up. I just needed to get a few things at the mall. Riley made mine and Aria's dress for the party tomorrow. Aria is yet to see the dress but I am pretty sure that she would love it. I stopped outside the shop

    Riccardo's POV. I wanted to stay. I wanted it badly but I can't. I can't allow myself to be weak now. Not when hers and Aria's lives depend on my actions. I know how distant I have been since that day. I needed to do it, to pull back. It was very necessary. I just didn't realize that it would hurt her that much. She fucking cried. I felt like a bastard. I wanted to go on my knees right there and beg for her forgiveness but I couldn't. Oh, I will beg, I will grovel if I have to but first I need to get rid of this bastard. The only advantage the bastard has on us is the fact that we don't know who he/she is. We have been doing a lot of digging. Enzo already ran a background check on every single staff I have and they all came out clean, all of their activities have been tracked but we didn't find anything suspicious and that just made me feel more uncomfortable. If it isn't my staff, if it is not one of them then who the fuck is this person and what on earth does the person want from

  • The Don’s Surprise Baby   Chapter 61

    Emilia's POV. It has been weeks and this house has been annoyingly silent. Too quiet. Riccardo changed so much after that night. My sweet husband was gone and he somehow managed to go back to the Riccardo that I had met in New York. He didn't torture me or anything. He doesn't even stress me out. He agrees to everything I ask without question— unless it has to do with my security details. I have security details following me every fucking where. The number went from two to seven. I don't mind having them around because their presences seem to put Riccardo at ease a little bit. I miss him though. I miss him like crazy. We barely talk now. We always have breakfast together with Aria and Aria is always the one chatting and keeping the table lively. He listens to her and responds when he is supposed to, he even manages to smile at her sometimes but he has withdrawn from me, both physically and emotionally. The last time he touched me was that night, oh, he kisses me sometimes. A fleetin

    Riccardo's POV.I saw the glint of the gun before it went off. I moved as fast as I could and threw my weight on Emilia while pulling her to the ground immediately. I mentally thank my stars that I had yet to take off my gun and knives. I pulled them out and quickly fired two shots in the direction that the bullet came from. Emilia writhed under me trying to get out and somehow my dick managed to remain hard even though a bullet just went off. “Jesus Christ woman, fucking stay still,” I said harshly. “Aria, I need to check on Aria.” She cried. “No, you are going to stay right there until I ask you to move. Aria is safe, Raffaele will make sure of it.” I told her and miraculously, that managed to calm her down and she stopped moving. She remained silent for a while then she laughed softly. I don’t know but I think my wife might be a little bit crazy. “I love the fact that you have managed to find humor in this situation we are in,” I said. She chuckled. “How is your dick still
