Luciano's POV I drove back home alone engrossed in my thoughts. I didn't know what to feel about Amara's pregnancy. Being pregnant for made me feel different in a way I couldn't explain. But what bothered me was the fact that she still wanted me to free her. If she could see through my heart and know how difficult it was she wouldn't ask me to do such a thing. I loved her too much and now that she carried my seed, my love for her had doubled. I needed to find a way through all of this so I wouldn't lose her. The doctor had told me to be gentle with her, that the fall had a great impact on her health and she was lucky not to have lost the child. I decided to work on my schedule so I'd have more time to take care of her. Her mental and physical health was more important to me than any other thing, so I had to watch over her myself and make sure that she's fine. I parked my car in the driveway and walked into the house tiredly. I hadn't rested
Luciano's POV The drive to Massimo's house was slow as I was trying to put my emotions in check. While Luca was driving, I saw a man trying to help his heavily pregnant wife into his car and I imagined Amara being in that state. Damn! It won't be funny. The woman seemed to be in a lot of pain and I wondered if it was that painful for every woman or it was just her. I hope it was just her. I thought about Gio's strange call and imagined him leaking whatever happened in the house. I shook off the thought vehemently, and wished that it was someone else because I wasn't sure I could take another betrayal. We got to his house and Luca blew the car horn to alert them of my arrival. The gate was opened by the guard while he drove in and I climbed the stairs quickly. His house looked the same, as I tried to remember when last I visited him. My visit to his house was never for a good reason and this one wasn't for good as well. I had decided that th
Luciano's POV She couldn't be missing, I thought and shook my head. I dialed her line again but I still didn't get any response which got me more worried. Where could she be by this time of the night? She was still recuperating and the last thing she needed was stress. Then I decided that if she didn't pick her call this last time, I would have to check the control room to know what is happening. The phone kept ringing but there was no response so I flung the phone on the bed angrily. I didn't care if got broken, I just wanted my baby back. I dashed out to the control room so I would know when she left the house but I discovered that the camera was turned off in so many places. I raked through my hair in frustration and left the room, yelling at everyone who tried talking to me. Raul, Stefano and Dante stood in the living room still dressed in their black suits. I scanned through their faces which showed how tired they were. If everything was norm
Amara's POV The sky darkened as I walked through the lonely path Gio asked me to follow. I was skeptical about the arrangement he had made for me but his constant assurance calmed me down. Leaving the house wasn't an easy decision but I was left with no choice. Staying there was choking, I couldn't think or even live properly. So I talked to Gio about my plan and he promised to help me. I was surprised at how eager he was to assist me, but since he was the only one who offered to help me I accepted it. While we talked, I could sense how much he wanted me to be away from the house, like he had some plans in mind. I thought of Luciano while I walked and wondered what he would be doing now. He would be looking for me but he wouldn't be able to find me, because I made sure that every way to locate me was cut off. My phone kept ringing but I didn't pick, knowing who the
Amara's POV Dee took me into his house and walked away leaving me with Jordan who couldn't stop gazing at me. It made me nervous and uncomfortable so I looked around to distract myself. My eyes caught the painting on the wall and it reminded me of the one in Luciano's room, beside the wallpaper that covered the entrance into the secret room. There was thick silence in the room, so much that the sound of a pin could be heard if dropped on the floor. I stumped my feet on the floor nervously and caught him staring at me. "Did you enjoy your ride?" He asked, standing up. I ignored him, still wondering where Dee went to. I wished I could talk to Gio and ask him what was going on since everything had gone bazark. Dee walked into the room casually and sat on the armchair that was opposite me. I glared at him for interrupting my plans. I didn't know who to blame anymore and I began to wish I never left the house. "Why did you come to t
Amara's POV I finally admitted to myself that I had made a grave mistake. I shouldn't have listened to Gio or even thought of leaving the house. Was that why he had been al strange? I clutched onto the bedsheets tightly as I remembered how Dee punched me in the face without remorse. He had changed and I couldn't place the reason for his change. I wished I could call Luciano to come and take me from this place but it wasn't possible. Gio's disappointment kept me in shock and I wondered what he would gain from selling me off to Dee. I was exhausted from thinking so I shut my eyes and drifted off. I woke up feeling uncomfortable like I was being watched so I jerked when I saw Jordan stare at me casually. His attire amused me which made me wonder how Dee coped with someone like him. 'Dickhead!' He was dressed in a pair of faded jeans with a black shirt that clung onto his lean body; He wasn't muscular. A scarf that contained several colors was t
Dee's POV I felt irritated while staring at her. The fact that she was pregnant disgusted me because I knew it wasn't mine but my brother who I loathed so much. That bastard always takes what belongs to me! Why?! I moved away and tried to stop the tears that flowed from my eyes freely. I cleaned my face immediately not wanting anyone to see how vulnerable I was. I needed to be sure that she was actually pregnant though I saw the blood. It could just be a line. "Are you really pregnant?" I asked. She barely nodded before passing out. My heart reached out to her because of how weak she looked, and I regretted leaving her alone with Jordan. "Why don't you kill her now, so you can go ahead with your plans?" Jordan suggested after shutting the door behind him and Dee glared at him. "Not yet," I said coldly. "Why not?" He asked in a whisper like he was scared of someone else eavesdropping on them. "I have hacked into her phone and Gio's al
Dee's POV I was scared stiff to my bones when I saw him point the gun at me and I got really angry in my innards that he still had much influence over me. He was here for Amara and if he evee discovered that I was the one who took her then I will be dead meat. I couldn't risk that so I thought of what to say to calm him down and I was also happy that she was no longer in the house. "Calm down brother, you wouldn't want to kill your only brother, do you?" I asked nervously. "I don't care about my relationship with you. Where is Amara? Where have you kept her?" He thundered, cocking the gun. With how mean and determined his face looked, he was ready to shoot if I made any wrong move, so I worked on calming him down or I die. "She isn't here, Luciano. What made you think she will be here?" I asked and made an angry face which he didn't bother looking at. "What do you mean she isn't here?" Luciano asked, confusion visible in his voice.
