“You bet I will, thank you so much, I will come around soon for registration,”She told her and walked out of the office, it was almost one pm; Luca would probably be looking for her already, Nora didn’t know how he was going to take the news of the pregnancy since they hadn’t talked about having a baby. Maria did say it would be good news so she hoped Luca saw it that way too because even though she just found out, she already loved the baby. “Amore, what took you so long? I was waiting for you,”Luca let out when she walked into his room, he got out of bed and walked to her, wrapping her in a welcoming hug. He could walk now, he was still healing. “The second hug I am getting today, today must be my day of hugs,”Nora mouthed, Luca broke the hug and gave her a look. “Who else are you getting hugs from?”He asked in a jealous tone, Nora laughed. “Don’t look so jealous, I got a hug from Maria,”She replied and went into his arms again. “Maria gets a pass, no one else is allowed t
Luca watched his woman sleep, she looked so beautiful and peaceful sleeping beside him. He didn’t know what he did to deserve her but he couldn’t thank the universe enough for sending her to him. Now he couldn’t imagine a life without her. two months, the past two months hadn’t been easy for him but with her by his side, he could do anything, waking up each day to her made everything bearable, he had to relearn how to do everything but it wasn’t so hard for him when each time he looked around, she was there cheering him on. He didn’t know how best to pay her back. She came into his life and never looked back, not even when he told her to leave, she vowed to be with him, believed in him even when he had doubts; her words of encouragement, the way she was there each time he was so close to giving up, telling him just how much she loved him. He could say her love healed him. She never asked anything in return but he vowed to take care of her for the rest of their life. He already had pl
“Oh my God, he has a ring,”She whispered and tried to get up from her seat. “Stay,”He said in a shaking voice that he had never spoken in before. “Is this why you have been so nervous?”She asked and he nodded, he was still nervous, if she said no, his world would crash. He suddenly didn’t know what to say. “Aren’t you going to say anything?”Nora asked after a couple of minutes. “Don’t tell me you didn’t rehearse what you were supposed to say,”She continued, he did think about what he wanted to say to her but right now, he couldn’t remember anything. “I don’t know what to say, I just know that I love and want you with me, I am not good with these kinds of things, I didn’t know what it was like to feel like this until I met you, I can’t get the words out that would properly describe how I feel for you, how desperate I want you to be mine forever,”He told her. “You are doing just fine right now, you don’t need big fancy words,”She encouraged him. Her words helped to reduce h
Nora woke up in a happy mood. Last night was one of the best nights of her life. Not only was she going to be a mom, but she was also going to marry the man of her dreams. She reached out for him but the space next to her was empty, she opened her eyes and the bed was empty, she checked the time. “Fucking hell,”she yelped and got out of bed. She had to go pick Rose up from the airport in less than an hour. “You are finally up,”Luca voiced, he was all dressed while she still had morning. “Luca? Why didn’t you wake me up? Rose will be in soon, I am going to be late,”She let out as she rushed out of bed, she couldn’t believe she overslept. “Relax, don’t be in such a hurry,”He said; she gave him a dirty look, it was all his fault that she slept in. “You had one job, wake me up, and you didn’t do it, don’t tell me to relax, you don’t know Rose, she will be super upset if I don’t show up,”Nora let out. “She is already here, I am just coming back from the airport, I went to pick h
“I am three months pregnant, we are going to be parents too, I told him last night and Luca is so excited about being a dad again,”Nora told Rose. It was Rose’s turn to tear up. “Oh, baby, I am so proud of you, congratulations my love,”Roseline said, hugging her again. “Thank you, Roseline, it feels so good to have you here with me at a time like this, it makes it even more special,”Nora told her. “You know that I won’t give up an opportunity to see a place like this, this house is a literal castle and Luca said I could take a tour around and he even agreed to be my tour guide, payment for stealing you away from me, he also agreed to one more thing but I am not telling,”Roseline cheered; “Both of you are crazy but I love you guys, let’s go up to the room that you will be using,”Nora said and they both walked upstairs to the room she had prepared for Roseline, they spent the whole day chic-chatting, and even when Luca came back, she didn’t leave Roseline. They had dinner toget
“Hey bestie, I just arrived at the airport and got cleared, I wanted to let you know, just so that you won’t be worried.”Nora moved her phone from one hand to the other as she collected her luggage and started moving out of the busy airport, there were so many people around as it was the holiday season, people were either returning home for the holidays or going on vacation, but she wasn’t one of them though, she wasn’t here for a vacation but for work, in fact, she couldn’t remember the last time she has had a vacation, that was years ago. Not like she didn’t want a vacation but she was too busy setting herself up career-wise to think about a vacation. “Baby, have fun and make sure to grab your Italian man, I heard they are mostly hot men and they are rich too, put those good looks of yours to use, I want Christmas baby news, wedding news, and more,” Roseline, her best friend babbled on chattily, Nora rolled her eyes, the last thing on her mind now is finding a man, the last man s
“Wow, a limo?”Nora asked when she saw the car that was waiting for them. She didn’t know what she had been expecting but a limousine was beyond anything that she would have imagined. She has only ever ridden in a limo once in her life and that was for prom. Her dad had gone out of his way to make the day special for her and she could still remember how she felt till this day. “Get in,”The unfriendly man stated in a rather harsh and heavily accented voice that almost made Nora change her mind about getting in the car, she didn’t like the energy that the man was giving at all but against her will and resolve and yelling at her overthinking side who was telling her not to get in the car, she entered the car and the door closed almost immediately. “Don’t fucking overthink this Nora, he is just doing his job,”Nora scolded herself as she brought her phone out of her bag and call the research center just to be sure she was on the right ride. She should have done it before she got in. “
Nora opened her eyes and everywhere was dark, she couldn’t see anything. Her head hurt and she felt restricted. She tried to shake off the feeling she was having and tried to get herself off what she thought was a nightmare but no matter how she tried, it just didn’t work. It felt so real, like she was really being restricted. Slowly, her body started waking up and she realized she was indeed being tied to something and the banging of her head wasn’t an imagination. “Oh god no,”She cried softly when she remembered what had happened before she passed out, that man, she hadn’t been overthinking when she thought he was bad. She should have listened to her guts when it told her not to get in the damn car. Nora forced her eyes open again and pain shot through her. She tried to adjust to the darkness but she couldn’t see anything. She was practically blind without her glasses anyway and they were not on her anymore, she couldn’t feel them.Nora knew she was in big trouble and it would on
