“Are you sure you are going to be okay on your own? I will be gone for a week, I told you that I can st--”‘No, you don’t,”Dani said, cutting off anything else he wanted to say. He was being overly protective of her. He had a business trip and she knew because they had been in his room while he was in the shower when the call came and he had asked her to take the call. She was the one that scheduled the trip but he was trying to find a way not to attend because he didn’t want her to be on her own. Not like she was going to be on her own. Keira was coming over to come and keep her company. Something that Luciano had specifically requested of Keira who had been much too excited to help him. It has been three weeks since the night she had walked into his room and told him her cravings and in those three weeks, their relationship has grown so much that she moved into his room completely at his request. He told her he loved going to bed and waking up with her in his arms. He wasn’t alone
“I couldn’t help it, I had to have you one last time before I leave, don’t blame me. It’s a whole week away from you,” She couldn’t argue with him on that. “So? Are you going to redress and go?”She asked even though she wanted him to stay. “I will, not right now, though, I still have time, what I needed to do at the office isn’t that important,”He said and kissed her again, she smiled and rested her head on his chest. He placed his hand on her stomach, gently and softly cradling the baby bump. Dani closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms. “Danielle, oh my God, they moved,”Was what woke her up about an hour later, she opened her eyes to see Luciano kneeling on the bed beside her, his eyes on her stomach and an emotion that she had never seen before on his face. “You are awake,”He said, looking at her and she nodded. “What did you say before?”Dani asked, looking at her tummy, she was sure she heard him say something moved, and the way he was looking at her tummy. “I was
Keira arrived almost as soon as Luciano had left. They must have passed each other on the way. “Whoa, this place is huge darling. don’t tell me he owes the whole place. I knew he was rich but this was beyond what I imagined, no wonder you always call it a mansion.”Keira said. Dani laughed and went to hug her. “He does own the place; didn’t you see his name at the very beginning?”“I did okay and I set the timer from when the driver that came to pick me up told me we had arrived at his property and we spent ten minutes without traffic to get here, I am saying from the entrance to the parking space,” She was exaggerating but not all that much, the mansion was huge and the land within the property was even bigger. A whole estate can fight into the property. Luciano slashed a huge sum of money on the property. According to him, it was one of the first properties he acquired and he didn’t sell to anyone because he fell in love with the place so he made a home out of it.“Let’s not even
“Doc? How are my babies?”Dani asked when she was finally able to meet with the doctor again after a series of tests. The sonographer had assured her that both kids were okay but she couldn’t totally be relieved until the doctor told her.“Your little ones are okay and are growing well, I told you before that you have nothing to worry about,”The doctor said and Dani turned to Keira who held her hands. She could finally breathe in relief. “What about the bleeding?”She asked. Yeah, she first noticed that she had been spotting two days ago but she didn’t want Luciano to be worried so she had not said anything but while she took her bath to get ready for the hospital, she saw she was spotting again. It was even worse this time.“There is nothing to worry about. It is perfectly normal to have spotting even though it should have occurred during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, the test and scan shows that the kids are doing fine,”The doctor explained. Dani wanted to ask something bu
Luciano dipped his hand in his pocket to bring out his phone which was ringing. He just arrived after an over ten-hour flight and was looking forward to having a long bath before he would call Danielle. He hadn’t wanted to leave but Danielle would not let him. He was jet-lagged and homesick even though he barely arrived. In all the years he has been in business, this was the first time that he genuinely didn’t want to attend a business conference. He wanted to be back home with Danielle. He checked his phone and frowned at the caller. “The both of you can go get some rest, we have a lot to do tomorrow,”He told his assistants that came with him for the trip. Christian couldn’t make it because his wife went into early labor so Luciano had come alone with just his assistants. He knew that in a few months, he would be in Christian’s shoes too and he was looking forward to it. Earlier when he felt their movement, he felt so alive. He couldn’t wait to meet his little ones.“Yes, sir,”Bot
Luciano paced back and forth in his hotel room while waiting for Amy to take her calls but she refused to answer her call even after calling her more than three times. He was worried not because he wanted anything to do with her but because he didn’t want another person’s death to be associated with him. It was bad enough that he lost two sets of parents and a baby cousin. He didn’t want any more deaths to be associated with him and he hated Amy so much right now for putting him in the situation. Was even more mad at himself for letting her back in his life. He should never have taken her call that night or gone out to see her. He should have kept her at a distance like he has been doing for the past three years. “Shit,”He let out when the phone once again went unanswered, she was playing with him. She knew too much about him because he told her brother everything about him even his nightmares so she knew his weakness and was using it against him. he should be worried for Danielle,
“What did you just say?”Luciano questioned. She was out of her mind if she thought he would ever do something like that. Even when he had casual sexual relationships, he never two-timed not to talk of now that he was with a woman he hoped to marry. A woman currently carrying his kids. His mind went to the feeling he had earlier today when he had felt them move. It was the warmest feeling in the world and he wanted to protect his little one and their mom forever. “You heard me the first time, Luci. Stop pushing me away, I am the only one who truly knows you and still cares about you. Be with me too and I will keep your secret.”“You are out of your mind Amy and I blame myself for entertaining you. Don’t ever call me again,”He warned her and hung up. He was done listening to her trash. He couldn’t believe he tolerated her and was worried she might harm herself when the person he should be worried about was Danielle. He dumped his phone on the bed, took off the rest of his clothes, an
Dani couldn’t stop thinking about what Luciano had said on the phone, she thought about it all night long wondering what he could possibly want to tell her. He had looked so serious when he had told her that he had something to tell her when he got back. She had playful told himself that she would kill him if he breaks her heart and he had responded that he wasn’t going to break her heart. She hoped whatever he was going to tell her would not ruin things between them because she would be damned if things turn around in the wrong direction for them. “Miss ma’am? Why are you frowning again/ you have been scowling all morning, are you still thinking about what your Luci had said?”Keira asked. They were currently in Luciano’s home gym because Keira said she needed to burn some calories. Not Dani though. She just sat and let her do her thing. Dani didn’t even know when she stopped and started watching until she spoke. she let out a sigh and nodded. “I told you not to overthink, didn’t
