Chasing Arieon Thirty
Arieon woke up to the steady beeping of the heart monitor and the smell if antiseptic. She tried to sit up straight but the wires attached to her arms wouldn't let her. Her gaze fell on Enzo who was asleep beside her. His head was on her lap with his hands interlinked with hers.She didn't know why her heart sped up or why she felt great in her cheeks. "Enzo", she whispered as she gently squeezed his hand. His eyes opened and he raised his head up immediately."Baby", he said as he pulled her hand to his lips. Her heart fluttered at the nickname and her eyes prickled with tears.I lost his baby, more tears fell down her cheeks as she tried to suppress a sob. He frowned, "Why are you crying?". "I'm s-sorry", she cried. "For what?", He asked."Enzo, I can't do this anymore. I'm tired, I'm sorry for losing our baby. I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore!", She cried. Enzo sighed and wiped her cheeks with his hands. "Don't cry. There's no reason to cry", he told her."I'm sorry", she continu

Two months passed, everything went back to normal. Arieon's baby bump was becoming bigger and visible. Arieon went with Agatha for the ultrasound. She almost bursted out of tears when she saw the image of the small foetus growing inside her.To top it all, the baby was a boy. When she told Enzo, he nearly lost his cool. He didn't want to look vulnerable in front of her so he smiled and headed for his office. Ever since then, he wouldn't let her do anything by herself. To Agatha and Matteo, his behavior was cute. But to Arieon, his behavior was annoying and aggravating."I'm not crippled!", She glared at him. He rolled his eyes and helped her down the stairs. "You may trip and fall", he told her. "Don't you have a job to be doing?", She asked. "I'm off", he said as they got down the stairs. "Finally", she exclaimed as he left the house. She made her way to the kitchen to look for what to eat. "I really need something to do", she mumbled as she opened the cupboard to pick a cereal. W

It was decided by the lawyer, after Arieon gives birth to the baby and spends three months with him, her and Enzo will divorce. Unfortunately, Enzo would take custody of the baby."Are you sure about this?", Her father's voice rang in her ears. "Yes, dad I'm sure about this. It's going to hurt that I'll leave my baby behind but it's for the best. I can't keep risking my life all the time", Arieon said. Her heart was clenching at the thought of leaving her child behind, but Enzo gave her no choice."Whatever decision you chose, we'll support you", her father said. A smile formed on her lips, "Thank you, dad". "You're welcome, sweetheart. Take care of yourself and be careful", he said. She let out a small laugh, "I will. Bye". She hung up and stood up from the bed. Enzo had left the house earlier before she woke and no one else was around except for Agatha. Agatha had been quiet but no one seemed to notice except Arieon.Felling hungry, Arieon walked out of the room and made her way to

Enzo wasn't the happiest person today. His mind was too far away and he had a very distant and cold look on his face. Last night, Arieon decided to wait for him but he didn't come home until midnight. She was already asleep in their bedroom when she came and he left the room very early in the morning before she could wake up. "Do you know where Enzo is?", She asked Agatha. They were having breakfast in the dining room. "He should be at work. I saw him leave very early in the morning. He didn't even wait to eat breakfast", Agatha answered with a sigh. On this particular day, Enzo wasn't the Enzo everyone knew. He'd become cold, distant and closed off. Everyone was hurting from the death of his sister but he was the one affected the most. Arieon let out a sigh of defeat, "I don't know what I'm going to do about him". "You could visit him", Agatha suggested. "I didn't even know he worked other than being a Mafia Don", Arieon said. Agatha chuckled, "Only the Mafia world knows he's a Ma

Just as Enzo promised Arieon, he tried his best to turn a new leaf and be happier. Honestly, he was actually happy with being depressed. It was already December which meant Christmas was near abd Arieon was so excited about it. She loved holidays because it was the time she spent with her family. This year, she's spending it with her new family. It'll be the first and last time, though."Let's have a very big Christmas tree!", Arieon gushed in happiness. Agatha looked at her incredulously. "You love holidays", she said and Arieon nodded. "They're just so special and I love celebrating them", Arieon said."We don't really celebrate holidays here", Agatha told her. "We'll change that", Arieon said abd they laughed. "First, we'll get a tree. But I'll ask Enzo first so I won't get on his neck", she said. "Good idea", Agatha told her. "Ask me what?", Enzo walked in. "Have you ever heard of decency?", She glared at him. He was wearing nothing but a pair of sweatpants and his torso was glis

Arieon was in the sunroom painting some pictures. She hadn't been up there since she had been kidnapped. For Christmas, Enzo got her a new set of painting equipment and a diamond necklace. She was so happy and excited to paint again."Why don't you make a scrap book for your son so he won't forget you when you leave", Agatha told her the next day. With the idea, she got a book with blank sheets.She spent time writing lovely poems in the blank space. "This picture will be cute", she said as she picked up the cute painting of stars she made. After pasting a few pictures in the blank sheets. She closed the book and placed it on the table before walking out.Her phone began to ring. "Hello?". "Arieon!", Alison's voice boomed in her ear making her pull the phone away from her ear. "Damn, Alison. I need my eardrums to work perfectly", she said. "Sorry, I'm sorry", Alison apologized sheepishly. "So why are you squealing in my ear like a squirrel?", Arieon asked. "For your information, I do

It was New Year and everyone was at the annual New Year Mafia ball. Arieon didn't want to go but she had to attend. She didn't like all these Mafia meetings and she was glad that this was going to be her last one."I'm hungry", Agatha mumbled as her eyes scanned the hallway for food. Her stomach was already showing a small baby bump of three months. "Let me get you something to eat", Matteo kissed her forehead and walked away. "Aww", Arieon teased her. "Shut up", Agatha glared at her. Enzo shook his head and the two women. "Vincenzo, spero che ti stia divertendo qui?", Giovanni asked him. He was the host of the party. Enzo nodded, "Mi sarebbe piaciuto di più il comfort del mio letto ma non posso negare il tuo invito". Giovanni let out a deep laugh and patted his shoulder.The party went on and on until Arieon couldn't stand anymore. "I'll faint of I don't sit down", she glared at Enzo. "Let's go to the terrace, you'll sit there", he said as he wrapped his arm around her waist. "I don

"This is horrible", Arieon groaned in pain as she tried to balance the pain she was feeling at her lower back. "Just relax", Agatha told her. "Relax? That's easier said than done. I can't even rest on my back!", Arieon exclaimed. Agatha rolled her eyes but continued to massage her lower back to ease her pain. "Why is stomach this big? Is this normal at all?", Arieon complained. "I thought you were a doctor?", Agatha asked incredulously. Arieon glared at her, "Don't use that against me. I'm just a doctor that treats sick people, not a gynecologist". "Okay, okay", Agatha raised her hands up in surrender. "Don't remove your hands", Arieon whined like a baby making Agatha laugh. Arieon's pregnancy was already nine months. Her stomach was so big that she thought it was abnormal. The doctor assured her that it happens in some situations."The stretch marks are ugly", Arieon complained. "They're not. You're just being emotional", Agatha chuckled. Enzo and Matteo walked into the living room
