Chapter Two

FABRICO POV

I knew she would whip me for not attending Russo's birthday party, but I was busy. A very important deal I was making with a European investor was canceled and they signed with another company. It bothered me for a second but I can do without them instead they should regret not working with me because my company is the best manufacturing and corporate company they will ever meet.

My hands gently touch Selene's back caressing her skin. I missed her so much even though I kissed her this morning before going to work. Now, even I didn't know how I was going to tell her about my trip to San Francisco. I have an urgent meeting that needs my attention and will be gone for a week or two with Liano.

"Fabrico..." She moaned against my lips." You're zoning out, maybe you need to rest" is she fucking with me? She is exactly what I need. Shaking my head, I lift her by her butt, and her legs go round my waist, I slide into her quickly and she arches her back.

"You ... don't ... look ... well," She tried to compose a sentence in the middle of her moaning but I kept ramming into her. I had a lot to think about, she was my priority. I also know that I haven't been coming home early recently and when I get back, she's passed out and we can't make love, so I won't deprive her of release. I crave it too. Sometimes I think my head is going to explode, but when I see her pretty face, I'm calm. She is my fucking life.

Selene clenched around me and I knew she was close to her limit, my fingers pressed against her clit and rubbed in circles and pulling her into a world of euphoria. Her head rolls back as she reached her orgasm and I couldn't stop staring at her. She was so fucking beautiful and I love her so much. When she finished, I increased my pace inside her until I reached my climax. Being in her is perfect. She is fucking perfect!

Her head falls on my shoulder as I put her down and start kissing her against her neck. "I love you," I murmured against her skin.

"I love you too," she smiled at me cautiously. "Come on, let's take a shower now, I feel all dirty and sweaty" she smiled at her and I giggled before grabbing the shower gel and sponge.

...

For some reason, I overslept and when I woke up it was past ten in the morning. What the fuck? This has never happened before. Quickly, I get out of bed and run into the shower also noticing that Selene was not in bed. Last night we made love together a lot after we left the shower and went to bed and I vividly remember her saying she was damn tired so how come she woke up before me?

When I'm done showering, I walk out of the bathroom, a towel around my waist, and text my assistant Leah telling her to move my meetings upward, then I walked into the closet taking out my suit.

When I go downstairs, I don't see Greta anywhere. But I hear my princess chattering as she talked about animals and colors. I walk into the kitchen and see her sitting on the counter while Selene peeled oranges on her stool listening to her talk with a smile on her lips. I fall in love with them every day. Now that they have come, I wonder how I ever lived without them before.

"Papa!" My little princess squeaked and I go to take her in her arms, dropping my briefcase. She hugged my neck and I kiss her cheek.

"Hey princess"

"Dad ... I'm happy to see you" she smiled at me and suddenly I feel bad because she doesn't see me often. I stare at Selene and she was smiling at me.

"Good morning honey," she said and I lean over to kiss her lips making sure I take a pull away so I don't make a scene in front of our two-year-old.

"A kiss for me too" Freya pouted her lips and I giggle before kissing her. She takes from her mom a lot.

"You two woke early," I say.

"No. You woke up late," Selene reminded me.

"Yes ..." Freya wriggled in my arms and I put her down. "Why didn't you wake me up?" I approach Selene, caging her in my arms and her hands go round my neck.

"You seemed calm and I thought you needed a good rest, I'm surprised you're here ready to leave Fabrico" she frowned when she said the last part and I see the sadness in her eyes.

"Babe ..." I cup her cheek and let out a sigh but she cuts me off.

"I know you have a lot to do but you could take some time off because Freya needs you. She needs her daddy. Our girl rarely sees you around and I don't like that" she scolded me.

"Okay, I'll take today off"

"Only today?" She pouts.

"Honey ... I have a lot of work to do," I said and she frowned. "Look, I'll make up for this. We'll go on a family vacation very soon. I'm sorry baby"

"I understand, I understand" she let out a sigh. "I made you breakfast, go change and come down"

I happily kiss those lips of hers. "Okay. I'll tell Leah to reschedule my meetings for today," I said, and hearing my secretary's name make Selene frown. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Go and change" she chased me away and I laughed, picking up my briefcase, I retired to my room to change.

SELENE POV

Today was super fun. Fabrico and I stayed off work and spent a lot of time with our little princess going to places like the museum, the mall to shop, and having lunch at a local restaurant which was super fun because they had the burritos. It was also an Italian restaurant and Italian dishes had secretly become my favorite since Fabrico started preparing them for me.

Now we have just entered Emiliano's villa because I insisted we went there since Fabrico was not there last night. He owed his nephew an apology.

Russo was the first one we saw in the living room and he was with a girl and was playing Scrabble with her. Huh, Where the hell is Emiliano?

"Tio!" He screamed before coming to hug Fabrico. It was sweet to see them like that because Fabrico was stiff with him because he was also Rose's son. The woman he once loved. But the boy was always enjoyed being around him and this softened Fabrico. "Selene," he said and came to hug me before kissing Freya on her cheek and she blushed. What a charmer he was.

"Look at you! You look a year older" Fabrico teased before ruffling his hair. "Go check the trunk of my car" he smiled at the boy who suddenly seemed excited before running out the glass door of his father's mansion.

I giggled. "Awww .. he seems so happy to see you"

"To see his present, you mean," Fabrico chuckled.

"What a surprise!" We hear Liano say from the stairs and we both turn to stare at him. He's wearing casual jeans with an ash-colored polo shirt, his hands in his pockets. "Hello brother and sister-in-law and niece," he said a little dramatically and I roll my eyes.

"Sei a Casa" Fabrico said, his hands going around my waist. [You're home].

"Of course. Where else am I mostly at?" Liano smirked.

"A club"

"It's an afternoon you dick," Liano said and I press Freya's ear to my chest shushing both of them. I also hope the little girl in the other room didn't hear. Liano has a smirk on his face while Fabrico had a guilty look on his. This is why I don't let Freya around them when they're together. There's a whole lot of curse words. Poor Russo.

Speaking of Russo, the doors open again and he runs in, jumping with joy. "A Train set! Thank you, Tio!" He chuckled before sitting on the floor and unwrapping what's left of the gift box.

"You're welcome, go have fun" Fabrico ruffles his hair again.

"Who's the girl?" I ask Russo before he could run out of the room.

"M-My Classmate, Henrietta. She's pretty and nice" He said proudly.

"Oh," I fold my arms. "That's nice. She sounds like a good girl"

"She is" he grinned before running out of the room.

"She comes here often, the Henrietta girl," Liano said before grabbing a bottle of red wine from a shelf just close by. He has shelves of wine in almost every section of his house, including a winery also. "So why are you two here?"

"Just thought we'll stop by" I answer for both Fabrico and me.

"Russo! Come carry your niece!" Liano calls out and his son comes rushing back.

"Yes papa"

I lowered Freya to the ground and she held his hand tightly. "Can we play train?" She asked him and he nods before they exit the sitting room. I walk by Fabrico and went to sit on the couch.

"We need to talk brother. I'm happy you came after all " Liano breaks the silence causing a crease to form on Fabrico's forehead.

"About our trip to San Fransisco..."

"You're going to San Fransisco?" I gasp at Fabrico and he nodded, guiltily biting his bottom lip. "why the hell didn't you tell me?"

"I was going to" he hushes me by kissing my lips. "So what about the trip?" He sked Liano.

"I don't know if I'll be able to make it"

"Why not? Don't forget this is all for you Liano. The meeting with Mr Rochester is to start your Business and you can finally get out of your shit"

"I know but...could we schedule?" Liano sounded unsure of himself even as he said that.

"But why?" Fabrico asked so confusedly.

"Because...I can't be in San Fransisco until a week after our scheduled time"

There's a long stretch of silence before Fabrico lets out a sigh. "Is this about Vanessa?" He asked and I gasp. Vanessa is from San Fransisco and who knows what their deal was anyway. Liano only shrugged.

"Seriously? You'll do this because of her? What's going on between you two" Fabrico seethed and I place my hand on his arms calming him. He's never liked Vanessa since day one and I don't know why.

"Not really because of her but..." Liano sighed, rubbing his palm against his face. "Can you just do it? Please? Reschedule!"

"Fine!" Fabrico grumbled like a child. "It better be worth it"
