"No more hiding" Fabrico tells me when I step out. The flashes haven't stopped. They'd be we stop. As long as I and Fabrico are together, there would always be flashes. I hook my hand with his bowed arms as we step on the red carpet.
"It's not so bad like I thought" I whisper to him and he grins before kissing the tip of my nose. More questions, flashes and howls are head and I try to suppress my smile as well as my anxiousness.
Looking behind me to see if Leon has gotten down, I see him talking with no other than Rose Hilliard. She has one a pretty golden gown that shone like a thousand stars, her blonde hair is tangled up in a tight bun and I look away.
Fabrico stops moving so I do too. He poses for the camera and ten whispers to me. "Smile sweety"
I refuse to smile so he kisses my hand, letting a smile take over my face. He just won't stop being touchy and I'm loving it. I also get why he stopped. He ha
"You're sleepy aren't you?" I ask cupping his cheek."No. I'm damn serious" he stressed. I palm his face, smiling. Can I love this man more than I already live him?. He blinks rapidly for some time before shutting his eyes. This might just be a phase and when he wakes up tomorrow morning, he won't even remember what he said. Laying cuddled up on the couch, I press my lips to his chest....I drop two free mugs of coffee on the counter before walking to the oven to get the already baked cookies. Since I've been at home, I've made it my daily task to learn how to cook a meal, each day and so today, I guess it was cookies."Smells good in here" I hear Fabrico mutter when he walked into the kitchen. My eyes lit up, only at the sight of him. But when he came behind me to kiss my cheek, my stomach fluttered."I made cookies" I state proudly with a smile."That's my girl" he whis
Another episode of me throwing up, I feel my guts wrenching. My eyes look so puffy and I feel wozzy...no dizzy. Literally the same thing though. Clutching my stomach, I empty into the toilet bowl before sitting on the floor, contemplating what to do.The door to the bathroom open and Fabrico enters, he kneels by my side immediately, pulling me into his arms and rubbing his hands up and down my back."I hate to see you like this and I can't do anything about it"Sighing, I said. "You can. How about never knocking me up again" I state and a smile cross his lips."I can't promise that"My eyes go wide, my lips moving but no words coming out. He chuckles. "Wait! You want to have more than one child with me?" I ask suprised."I want to have the world with you Selene. And I meant it when I said you're the one for me. No one else" he kiss my cheeks. "no one"I wr
I wake up with the other side of the bed empty. Sizzle my way out of the sheets and to the bathroom. My eyes wander all over my skin at all the red marks on me. The little bump on my stomach was now becoming prominent and it felt so unreal but magically lovely at the same time. I grab a loose sweater and throw it on before cleaning my teeth and heading downstairs.I hear mumblings in the parlour so I slow my steps down, until I'm close to the sitting room. Peering from the corner, I see Fabrico talking with a man. I don't recognize him but he looks elderly. Black hair, and grey at the side of his head. His face a bit wrinkled. He looked aggressive as he spoke. Leon too was there, standing with his arms crossed, a deep frown on his face."I don't understand what you're asking me to do exactly?" Fabrico ask the man."Nothing you can't do. Like I said, I've got you all followed up. I have details from your company that
In a room with five police men and a man in suit which I'm guessing is Fabricos lawyer, I try not to fumble with words if I'm asked a question. Standing by the corner as Fabrico and his lawyer chats away about the situation on ground, I look toward my right to see Karen taking notes of everything happening. Her job must be really boring, taking notes all the time."Selene!" Fabrico calls for me and I walk to them, my arms folded. "I'd prefer you here with me" he says. I try to sit on the couch but he pulls me to sit on his leg. His lawyer has an uncomfortable look on his face as he looks away for a second before facing us again. My cheeks blush red, Leon smirked. Why is he still here again?!"Right now, we don't know how legal the papers Mr Hilliard has, are. We'll have to approach him cautiously""So you're saying there's nothing you can do to cut this crap out now?""No""
Fabrico POV(surprised?;)I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling nervous right now. In fact, I've never felt so nervous like right now. My hands are clenched together and I keep licking my bottom lip. Inside that lake house is not a monster but a child that may or may not be mine. Like I and Selene had solved it before, the timing with when I and Rose broke up, Is completely different from when she took in. The whole thing is confusing. And my biggest fear yet, is if that child is really mine, then I don't know how it's going to affect me and Selene but I sure know I'm not letting go of her because I love her.More than I've loved any woman in my entire life. She just crept into my heart on one certain day, until she conquered it all and now, I can't live if I didn't have her, because she has my heart. And now that we're expecting a baby, I couldn't love her more.Selenes tiny hand clutched mine, rubbing a
Fabrico POVI stare at the little boy whose eyes widen when he sees me. It's a really golden orbs he's got."Uncle Emiliano?" He puzzles and I raise a brow. How does Russo know Liano?Rose hurried to carry him up into her arms bobbing him and down. "No, not uncle Emiliano...Daddy!"Daddy?! That wordsl being said out loud to me, makes me extremely nervous again like hell and I rub my palms against my trouser pant."Daddy?" He hums to his mom and she nods her head, extremely happy to see him catching on. I find my feet walking to them and when I'm close enough, I reach out to touch his half blonde hair and he leans into my hand."Carry him, Fabrico. He's your son" she chastens me and I hesitate but take the four years old boy out of her arms and into mine. He rest his head on my shoulder immediately and I feel my heart melt at how small he is. He sm
A/N: there's been a change in the last four paragraphs of the last chapter (55). so don't fail to check it out now before you go on with this chapter.•••Selene POVThe porch chair makes a good bed for the time being because I'm lying on it now and it's been great. I've been waiting for Fabrico to come home for the past four hours now, and it's already past twelve. I'm about giving up when I see his car drive into he compound. Abandoning the chair, I stand up and walk toward the car, Fabrico steps out, his jacket in hand while Riley drives off with the car. I stand next to a flower out, watching him make his way up the steps.
Leon rushes into the room and I quickly grab the phone from the floor hanging up. All of my insecurities, my fears, they all just seemed to be creeping back into me. Hearing my mom call me, was the most terrifying thing that's happened to me in years."You ok, Selene?" Leon walks to me, holding my hands in his. My hands are shaking and he easily notice the way I keep turning my head from side to side and licking my lips anxiously. "Tell me what happened" he urges again and I find the closest seat, being the love chair, and sat down."My mom just called me." I say and he's looking at me confused as to why I'd react to my moms call that way. It was like I saw a ghost. Scary I know. "I haven't spoken to my mom in fucking years" I sigh and he nods, his lips forming an O."So what's the deal? Why'd she call?""I don't know" I shake my head vigorously, feeling down. "I didn't let her speak. Her vo
Selene POVThe tree is lit, the candles and everything. Even the cookies are baked but there's just one more problem, the cake frost is missing. I and my mom have trampled the whole house looking for it but it's still nowhere to be found.The door to my bedroom slides opened and Kay comes in with a giggling Freya. My God! I hope she doesn't give me a heart attack. She's got some of the frost all over her face and I only hope she hasn't taken much sugar than she can bear."Oh my!" I squeal as I collect her from my bestfriend. "Where did she find it? It was on the counter" I puzzled."There's every chance that Russo helped her get it down" Kay said, referring to Freya's cousin. My husband's brother's son. Ok, this just got me really scared."I'll help clean her up. You just get on with the cooking. Aida and Alice are waiting for you". Kay walked out of the room, my dau
Seven months Later"What?" I pant, my eyes straining on the nurse in front of me. Her name is Ruby and have been my nurse for a while now, since I blew up into a big round ball, and I had to come here for checkups."A minute" Ruby says, holding her hand up, as she spoke with the doctor on the other line. Her eyes moving all over me before they finally pop."What is he saying?" I ask, clutching my maxi dress. Oh my gosh! I felt a really constricting pain just this afternoon and I told Andrew to drive me here. I didn't want to alarm Fabrico into a false labour because that has happened so many times in the last week. In reaching here, I was told it's time for the baby to come out, but my water hasn't broken yet.&nbs
I sit up real well, staring at her, my eyes run down her body and then back up to her eyes."W-why are you like that?" I stutter and she grins, walking toward me."Why else? Stop being a saint Fabrico. I know you want me" she purr, getting on her knees and crawling to me. Ok..I never knew she was into stuffs like that. We may have done foreplays when we were together but...shit!.She reaches my thighs and hold them, sitting up."I said I wanted us to talk""Fine. Let's talk" she says and come to sit beside me. Her hands are on my torso, and her breath fanning my neck."What does you dad have against me?" I ask and she stops what she's doing to stare at me."Not this again" she sighs and I nod."Yes this" I say and then I did the unthinkable. My hand, run up her neck slowly until I grip the back of her neck. I try to focus

Fabrico POVThe second the car drives into the lot of the Hilliard Cabin home, I phone Jared immediately, telling him to turn the microphones on. They're in a Van just down the street, and hidden from any passerbys. Anything, and they'll be rushing in to do there work."You in yet?" He asked."Nope. About to though. Sure she won't know?" I ask, feeling my hand brush agaisnt each other. Rose finding out anything could blow the cover."Depends on how you act. Just be your normal self, with a little spice. Remember, you're making her believe that you're on her side"I sigh, rolling my head back. It's going to be so hard pretending to care about her when I know that she's just trying to blackmail me. She and her father."Fabrico..." Jared called and I snap my eyes opened."You're doing this for you and Selene. Don't forget that. We have
"what the devil are you saying?!" Fabrico yells at him. "I've seen him myself. He..." His sentence is cut short when he realized what he's about to say, dosen't make any sense. He and Emiliano are twins, so it's perfectly normal if their children looked alike. "Shit!" He runs his hands through his hair."I'm sorry you had to hear it from me. I was hoping Rose would tell you herself but then I hear from mom you were going to marry her because of Russo" Liano explains, like he actually has a good heart."Hilliard has been blackmailing me" Fabrico stresses. "And for nothing""Maybe he doesn't know Russo isn't yours" I mutter, both Fabrico and Liano glare at me."He knows" Liano clarified."So why would he force me to marry his daughter?""He probably wants Russo to inherit your wealth" Liano runs his hands through his hair, the same time Fabrico does it and I smile at how sim
I run my hands through my hair unruly. "Start talking" I gripe at Alice and she glares at me, her arms folded. She really hasn't changed. Still sassy, annoying and don't give a fuck about anyone but herself."There's nothing to talk about? Corby was your father" She says."How? He never talked about you""He didn't have to."My brain is racking on so many things right now and she's not letting out much details that I need to know, and it's pissing me off."Tell me everything" I whisper.Her eyes are not so cold anymore as she sits on the couch, tapping at the space beside her.
I run through the hospital in a white, transparent maxi dress, making my way for the room I know Corby once stayed. There are some nurses outside the room, Grace is there, her eyes dull if tears and red. This is real. It's actually real! My body is trembling as she points into the room."We're about taking him out now miss" one of the nurses said."Please...let my just see him. Please" I beg, my hands rubbing together and she nodded. I walk into the room, my heart in my hands. I'm glad Fabrico is behind me. Leon has Kay in his arms as she cried.There he is, laying on the bed, a shit clothe just to his neck and ready to close his head. I place my hand above my heart, feeling my fountain break and I'm in a sobbing mess. He's gone! His eyes are shut close, his face pale and dull. It's a contrast of the lively Corby I used to know. He was so energetic."Corby...please..." I say in a hush voice, my hands touch
It's been a great week for me, Fabrico has been home throughout, we've been having lot of good times together, and spending time with him just allows me to know more about him. The things social media don't know. Like, how he has a terrible fright for spoons."Are you adding a lettuce to that?" I ask Fabrico. We're making dinner together. I'm improving in this cooking thing and it's really nice."Yeah. But little" he says and kiss me on the lips before walking toward the sink. Leon comes in,a smile on his face and I don't realize why until Kay comes into view."How are you here?" I smile as I hurry to hug her, my arms throwing round her neck."Wow, you're looking fatter each day" she comments and I stare at Fabrico who blows me a kiss. "By the way, Fabrico invited me"I glare at Fabrico. "You did?"He nods with a grin."That's so sweet. I'm happy to see yo
