I curled my hair and did a light makeup since I was not really good at it, the pumps I bought went well with the dress.By the time the clock struck seven-thirty, I was good to go. Just then my doorbell rang, I walked quickly to open the door, and when I opened the door I expected to see Ivan, not Enzo."Good evening Adelia, Mr. Montero asked me to bring you to the rendezvous point.I blinked "oh, let's go". He nodded and we left the apartment"Hold on," Mr. Enzo said bringing me to an abrupt halt " He requested you wear a blindfold""A blindfold?"

    These past few months have been nothing short of amazing. Being Ivan's wife and properly accepted by his family and friends, even the public too. We had a lot of interviews to grant and I had to deal with the press almost every time I stepped out for me that was the most tasking of it all. I was most grateful for having him by my side although being with him on this bed and him holding me was one of my best moments. Of late I had been feeling nauseous and tired but this morning it got worse and so I had to stay in bed even after he went out. I didn't tell him so he doesn't get so worried. So after he left for work I called Jesse. "Hey babe""Hey, babe are you good?""Not exactly. I have been feeling nauseous and super tired, I need you to escort me to the doctor""That is fine, I'll be with you shortly""Okay I will be waiting"I laid back in the bed, was too weak to go to the bathroom. My phone rang and I picked up and it was Ivan. I was a bit tensed about what to tell him, I di

He made sure I got everything I needed even without me asking. He was so sweet. He had insisted I come back to work Nat the hotel but I didn't want that. I wanted to be independent and build my empire and I meant every bit of it. Ivan was not happy with my choice but I had made up my mind and there was no going back. It was another morning and I was already dressed for work. I tried as much as possible to avoid any arguments with Ivan concerning my job not matching up to my status as his girlfriend and all. I understood what he meant though but he had to take me as I was. I rushed off to work and as usual, Rio was always and would always be a pain in my ass. Although we had started getting along, he was quite annoying sometimes and I didn't fail to let him know. Rio had asked me out on several occasions but I had turned him do

    IVAN'S POVDespite my apologies, Adelia refused to listen to me but there was no way I was going to give up. I would prove to her how sorry I am and make sure she believes and trusts me again.

I kept calling her lines but she refuse to pick up her calls. I was pacing around my apartment when Andre came in. "What is the problem man?" "I have messed things up" "How?? What did you do?"
