She chuckled out of embarrassment, “Come.” She took his hand and walked inside the fortress.
“I had called you earlier in the morning,” he said as they walked inside.
“I know. And I am sorry I did not pick up your call. I was in a difficult situation,” she reasoned.
“I wonder what has kept you so busy to not even pick my call,” he raised his brows.
“I will let you know that later. How is Jordan?”
“She is good.”
“Mr. Marcel?”
“You mean Adrian or Aaron?” she chuckled at that. It was no wonder that Michael had grown close to Aaron.
“Senior and junior, both,” she replied.
“They are both good. Aaron has become my parents' grandson and is being spoiled a lot. And I am being blamed for his bluntness,”
Riley laughed, “I would not be surprised if he will be an imprint of you w

Vincenzo and Michael occasionally glanced at Riley to look for any clues on what was going on inside her head. Rafale kept silent the entire time. He would talk sense into his sister’s mind later.

After Michael left her house, Riley found herself I her room, thinking what to do. She had no idea why her father gave her the chance to decide her life. She simply could not think straight at this moment. Who was she supposed to choose? Michael? Vincenzo?She got up from the bed and walked towards the door when she heard someone knocking at it. She was nervous for a reason. What would she do if Vincenzo was at the other side of door? What would she talk to him?She slowly opened the door and peeked outside and left out am enormous sigh after seeing Rafaele at the door. She pulled him inside and closed the door.“Where you expecting someone else?” Rafaele asked taking a seat on the bed. She walked back to the bed and took a seat next to him.“I was just nervous. I did not know what to do if it was Vincenzo,” she replied. Rafale and Vincenzo had been best of friends since childhood. Rafaele could not be more happy than he was when he got to know that Vincenzo

The next day morning, Vincenzo was up early and he got ready quickly and went out of his room. He wanted to talk Riley the first thing in the morning. He knocked her door twice before she opened it for him.Riley was already up and was getting ready. She looked like she was going out somewhere.“Are you busy? Are you going out? Shall I get the vehicle out for you?” He asked her. They could talk in the car. It was a better option than to talk at home. No one would be there.Riley thought for a while before speaking, “Umm… I am actually going to out to meet Michael.” Vincenzo’s face went sore at the mention of Michael’s name. It is not like he hated Michael but he was scarred of losing Riley to him.“But you can get the vehicle out. I actually wanted to talk to you too,” she said. Vincenzo nervously nodded his head and went to the garage to get the vehicle out. He thought, this was his chance to tell Riley that he still loves her and he don’t want to lose her.

After pushing Riley out of his room, Michael slumped down holding onto his chest. He felt immense pain all of a sudden. He was not expecting what she said today. He knew there was something between Riley and Vincenzo but he was definitely not expecting to be rejected like this. Why did she even give him false hope if she were to reject him like this? She was the first girl he had ever liked romantically. She was his first love.He got up and moved to his bed where his phone was. He called his pilot and informed him that he has to fly back to US and scheduled a flight back to home. He had no idea what he would be telling to everyone back at home. What would he say to Jordan? And what about his mom? She had encouraged him to go after his heart. But his heart here, broke itself. What was he supposed to do in life now? Was he that incapable to make a girl choose him?

Michael’s flight landed in the US in the early hours of the morning. Jonathan’s phone beeped with a notification that his flight has landed in the US. His brows furrowed. He looked up at Sarah who was busy preparing ingredients for the breakfast.“I thought Michael had gone for a solo vacation,” he said making Sarah turn back to him.“Yes, he has. What about it?” She asked.“My flight has landed back in the US. Did he go for a three day vacation to Italy?”Sarah’s face went pale for a second. What happened to Michael? Did he come back home already? Sarah had no idea as to what was happening with Michael. He had not called her not even once.She immediately grabbed her phone and made a quick phone call to him. But it went straight to voicemail.“What is happening?” Jonathan questioned getting a little impatient with the sudden change in his wife’s behaviour.She shook her head saying she has no idea why he is back home this quickly.By

Everyone present at the birthday party were beyond shocked to Riley. No one expected to see her again. After rejecting Michael, she had cut ties with everyone including Jordan. And Jordan did not want to cross the line which Riley had drawn between them. Riley had changed her phone number and her mother’s phone number too.Michael’s eyes went wide and he almost flipped on the table. But Jordan held his hand and tried to calm him down. Sarah came and stood in front of Michael as if guarding him from evil. Michael breathed lightly and leaned his head onto his mom’s back.Adrian did not know how to react to her. He simply stood at the door, thinking what to do. He knew if he invited her inside, there was high chance of Michael and his family leaving the place. And he also did not want to hurt Michael by inviting her inside. He cleared his throat, “Riley.”She smiled lightly, “Did I come at the wrong time?”“I think so. I am really sorry,” he said.El

The Known Gentlemen Michael, Riley and their kid
Riley spent the night mostly thinking about her father’s words about moving back to Italy. Did she really want to go back? That was all she thought throughout the night. She tossed and turned around in the bed continuously and barely got 5 hours of sleep.She was getting ready in her room while also hearing her parents bicker about what to wear and where all to go. Earlier, when she was having her morning coffee, her parents informed her that they were going for a date and she should not call them and disturb them. She had snorted as a reaction. Her parents were going out on a proper date probably for the first time in their entire relationship. She replied to them, “Fine, go on. I will go on a date by myself.”

After their intense love making in the car, Michael and Riley get dressed and get into the front seats. He drives towards her house.“How are you feeling?” He asked out of nowhere.She turned to him with a confused expression written on her face, “About what?”“About going to home being freshly fucked,” he smirked knowing that Riley would be giving him a disgusting look. She hits him on his chest and turn to look out of the window. And she actually thought about how she was feeling going home after freshly fucked by Michael. The crimson shade that was spread all over her face gave it away to Michael, who was secretly taking glances at her and hoped that she would think about what she felt.Michael laughed pretty loudly making Riley groan, “Stop it, Michael. I will kill you.”“That’s my girl,” he said and leaned closer to her and captured her lips in a deep kiss before getting back to the driver’s seat. Riley was beyond shocked to hear him say that
The Known Gentlemen Like the idea
The baby shower was almost done and Michael’s parents bid bye and left. Michael had noticed Riley’s dress and her sexy neck that was driving him crazy. It was almost evening and he had some work to take care so he walked to her and said, “Shall we leave now?”Riley was talking to Jordan about the baby delivery and how anxious Jordan was feeling. Michael noticed the look on Jordan's face, “What happened sweetheart?” He asked her.“I am scared about the baby delivery, Mikey. I don’t know what to do,” she said worriedly.“Don’t worry, Jordan. We are all here to help with the baby. But I cannot take the pain you have to go through for the child birth. But I promise we will male sure you are cared well after that.

The Known Gentlemen The baby shower
The day of baby shower had rolled in quickly. Riley stood in front of her mirror while wearing the light purple dress which Sarah had brought for her when they had been to shopping. She had applied light makeup and had her hair tied into a ponytail. She even remembered Michael’s distraction comment on her hair the other day. But did not care about it. Perhaps, she wanted to distract and tease him a little.Giorgia and Alessandro were already ready and was waiting for Riley to come out of her room.Riley’s sprayed a little perfume and took one last look of her appearance in the mirror and walked outside.“Wow… that dress looks good on you,” Giorgia said when she saw her daughter coming out of the room.Riley smiled, “Thanks, Michael’s mom bought it for me.”Alessandro raised his brows and repeated his daughter’s words, “Michael’s mom brought it for you.”“Yes, now come on, we don’t wanna be late,” she hurried her parents out of the house.

The Known Gentlemen The kind of family she wanted.
Riley stirred in her sleep when the sunlight dropped on her skin through the window. She was way too comfortable to open her sleep. She smuggled closer and hugged. That was when she felt the strong body next to her. She opened her eyes and looked at her bed. She was laying on Michael’s chest and he had his hand gripped tightly around her waist and their legs tangled. They were laying on her bed, naked and the duvet barely covering any of their body parts.She tried to move away from him, but suddenly felt a sting of pain in between her legs. Last night’s activities had worn her out. He had made love to her multiple times and made her scream his name, her lungs out. She had no energy to even get out of the bed. She turned to Michael and he was asleep peacefully. Does he still love me? Would he take her back if she makes a move on him? Do I even deserve him? Thoughts ram inside her mind widely.She shook her head as if thoughts would run away. She slowly and silently, trie
