Little Adonis

"I did nothing of the sort. I only told her to leave, and the next thing I knew, she was lying unconscious on the floor." Adonis defended, leaning back against the sofa.He was in a bad mood.Not only was his sleep interrupted because of Cara's situation, but they even dared to send him away from the bed. Luca placed his hands on his hips, giving him a reprimanding look."Oh really? How come she has been unconscious for the last five hours then? Why isn't she waking up? Why would you even tell her to leave? And why does she have all her stuff packed?" He exclaimed, gesturing to the suitcases and travelling bags that had been pushed aside when they came barreling in."I have no idea," Adonis replied coolly."You." Luca gave him a look that said 'I'm not stupid', "Have no idea? I sent her up to get you out of your comatose state, not to end up in one!" He retorted, unable to understand how Cara ended up unconscious.Nothing seemed to be making sense at the moment. When his phone beepe

A Compromise

Cara's last two words snapped Adonis out of his dazed state, and he stomped over to her with annoyance polluting his facial musculature."Little Adonis? Are you serious right now? Did you know about this before? You did this on purpose, didn't you?" "Excuse me? I just found out, and why would I want to get pregnant intentionally?" Cara snapped back at him, meeting his glare head-on."Then why?" She scoffed. "If you've forgotten, this is what happens when two genders of the opposite sex have unprotected sex, and we've been having a lot of that!" Her voice rose at the end.Was he going to blame her for this too? For getting pregnant?"Okay, okay, let's not forget that you have company." Luca raised his arm to call them to order but was promptly ignored.Adonis began to pace around the room, his hand restlessly running through his hair."How can you get pregnant? It's too early for a child; the circumstances right now are not even palatable. I thought you were being careful or preventi

Uninvited Guest I

Things had ultimately returned to normal at the Bernard's mansion. The men were back on their feet, and the regular chattering had resumed.Adonis looked better and was trying his best to restore order, and Cara was beginning to love her new pregnancy glow.—except for the constant vomiting, that is.The next day, after they'd settled on a compromise, Adonis had instructed that she be driven to the hospital for a thorough check, and the pregnancy was estimated to be a little over a month.He was back to being the cold man he was before they confessed their feelings to one another, just a little more attentive. They rarely shared conversations other than simple greetings and small talk over meals and he was very occupied with finding Antonio.He had invested a lot of time, effort, and resources in his search, but Antonio was doing a very good job of staying hidden. His hideouts and home had been thoroughly searched, but there was still no sign of him anywhere. Cara could see it made

Uninvited Guest II

Caras's POV"She's staying over?" I exclaimed as Adonis broke the news to me. "Why?"He sighed, taking off his shirt."She says she's here for emotional support. I don't need one, but there are a lot of rooms in the mansion, and I'm sure it was her father's idea. I don't want to seem ungrateful." "I don't like her," I confessed, and Adonis raised an eyebrow at me."You don't even know her.""I don't have to know her to not like her. Call it female intuition." He rose. "Well, good for you. I'm going to bed." And with that walked back into the room, leaving me to think it over with a dissatisfied pout.Have you ever met someone and just developed an instant dislike for the person? That's how I feel right now. There's something about that Natasha lady that doesn't just sit right with me.She could've introduced herself as the daughter of Bernardi's closest ally only. Why add Adonis's ex-fiancée? And that forlorn look on Adonis's face when he saw her. What was that? I was no seer or

Trespassing

Cara's POV"I don't like her, I don't! It's been more than a week. Why is she still here? Is Antonio that hard to find?" I complained to my companions as we lay binge-watching in the movie room.It's been over a week, and Natasha was still around. Her behaviour was beginning to get on my nerves. Not that she had done anything directly, but I just didn't like her closeness with Adonis."But you said she was being mindful of you." Cecelia chimed in from beside her man. They had been unusually cuddly today, and I made a mental note to ask her if everything was fine."Yes, she has been, but ah..." I groaned. "I don't know how to say it.""Then explain it." Tina piped in from the video call. She couldn't join us at the mansion due to a late work shift, so we had to settle for a call.I sat up. "Okay. Two days ago, after I got back from my check-up, she was sleeping on our living room sofa, and when I woke her up to ask why, she said she came to see Adonis but slept off. I mean, why wait?

Out Of The Bag

Cara's POV Adonis watched me with nonchalant eyes like it was nothing serious. I scoffed.Was this how he was going to be?Natasha moved to hold my hand again. "Cara, I'm sorry—I held up my hand in silence."Not you. I'm talking to Adonis. This is between myself and my husband." 'I'll be coming back to you later.' I wanted to add but decided against it. Adonis's reply to my question would determine that.The door to his study was pushed open, and Luca came in with a worried-looking Cecelia. They must have caught on from my tone when I left the movie room that something was wrong, but the tension that they felt in the atmosphere confirmed it. "What's going on?" Luca asked, glancing between Adonis, Natasha, and me. "Adonis was just going to explain to me why Natasha knows about my family history even better than I do." Luca frowned and then turned to Adonis."Did you tell her?" I eyed him. "So you knew too. Good, who wants to do the honours of explaining it to me? ""Your father

Long Time Allies

Cara's POV"You've been expecting my call, mio amore (my love)?" Antonio's curious voice filtered through the phone. My lips thinned as a grim look adorned my face. The bastard still thinks he's funny. "Adonis has been searching for you since you went off the grid. You have no choice but to reach out to me. What better ally than his disloyal wife?" I attacked, not in the mood to humour anyone.He let out a reverberant laugh that broke into a fit of cough, letting me know he was in convalescence."He did a number on me." Then his voice became deadly serious. "A number I'd repay." I rolled my eyes at his reply. What is it with these men always having something to repay? The clothes in my hand fell onto one of the bags I had out as an idea popped into my head. My plan never really flopped. I just wasn't interested any longer.Kane was dead. Carlo was dead. That was it from the very start, and they were making it easy for me. Although I never planned for others like Dimitri and Sabest

Hide Out

The man with roguish blonde hair stood with his back pressed against the wall. Amidst the chaos of gunshots and gruesome fights, he was the only one with a huge grin on his face. Things were going according to plan.There was no way Dimitri would make it out alive. He was sure of that! Adonis couldn't do without him and was also sure to fall. The entire family would be ruined by the death of just one man.He chuckled again, and his long scar squeezed in an unseemly way. Finally, it was all falling into place. All that remained was to get out of there as soon as his brother and father made it out safely.Their long-term goal would be achieved after all.He cautiously peeked out from hiding to confirm they'd left but his heart jumped in fear at the sight.Fear for his brother and father.Adonis was furiously heading their way, clearing everything on his part. His eyes widened and he yelled."Carlo" But it was no use; he couldn't hear him, and Adonis was almost at his side. If Carlo w

The Internal Feud

"Why aren't you leaving?" Adonis asked Luca as the rest of the room dispersed, still in their dazed state.No one had ever seen Cara in that light, not to talk more about the outburst she had. The words she said came as a shock to some, then as a low blow to others, particularly Adonis himself.He could only stare blankly as though they were nothing more than ordinary words, but the withdrawn expression on his face as soon as she stormed out the door spoke volumes of how he felt.He shouldn't be hurt. It was nothing. He didn't care about what others thought of him, and that's how he had always lived, but his heart didn't agree with that theory anymore. "You messed up, man," Luca stated in an emotionless voice.Adonis ignored him, heading back to the work he had at hand before the show. He heaved a deep sigh, taking a seat at his desk."She wanted the truth.""And you could've placed it down in a different manner. You were being so carefree about it. Like her life meant nothing to you

Unexpected Betrayal

Cara's POV Ever heard the saying, 'What you see is not always what you get?' The composer couldn't have been more right. That's how I feel right now. I thought I'd seen all that there was to Adonis. I was wrong.These days I think I've become a poet.No. Poet isn't the right word; maybe an artist, because the interpretations of most phrases and sayings, which I thought were just filled with fancy words, kept coming to me. Locating the hidden back door was easy. Stealing a knife from the kitchen was easier; to the workers, I was still the lady of the house, so no one questioned my decisions or movements. What was hard was the journey to the door itself.I'd been living in the mansion for more than six months and had spent approximately five months as Mrs Bernardi, during which I believed I'd seen and known all that there was to him and his lifestyle, but once again, I couldn't have been more wrong.Walking through the underground tunnel was creepy enough that it made my skin crawl,
