Carina's first point of view, what do y'all think?
C A R I N AThe following day, I was at work when my phone started ringing. I answered without checking who was calling."Carina, can we meet?""Nicholas? What do you want? Shouldn't you be busy with work? How did you get my number?""I can find your number anywhere. We need to talk. I want to explain things to you. Please, just hear me out. I know you're at work. How about you come to my place after your shift?""I'm working overtime today. I can't.""I'll pick you up from work.""No, Nicholas. We're done.""We're not.""Why are you doing this?""Because I can't lose you again.""I–""Please, baby. Meet me after work. I'll come and pick you up.""Fine.""Good girl. I'll see you later. Bye.""Bye."He was making me so confused, and I didn't know what to think anymore. He had been ignoring me for two years, and now, he wants me back."Carina, where are the documents I asked you to bring in 20 minutes ago?" My boss snapped."I'm so sorry. They're right here."I placed the documents on h
C A R I N AHe was wearing a grey suit, his jacket unbuttoned, showing off his gun and holster. His blue-grey eyes were burning with intensity."What are you doing here?" I asked, staring at him."Can I come in?""Uhm, yeah sure." I stepped aside, and he entered, looking around."Nice place. Small but cozy.""Thanks.""Yeah.""So, uh, what are you doing here? I didn't know you were coming.""I know.""Then...what's the reason for the visit?""I wanted to see you." He murmured."You did?""Yeah." He walked towards me and brushed his fingers against my cheek. He leaned in, his lips ghosting over mine.My breath hitched, and my heart pounded. "Massimo...""Mmm." He kissed me deeply, his hands going into my hair. "You don't know how long I've been craving to do this." He deepened the kiss, and I moaned, my body responding.We stumbled back towards the couch, and I fell on top of him, his hard cock pressed against my stomach."Fuck, Carina." He whispered against my lips."Massimo...we shou
L O R E N Z OAvelina was in the kitchen when I heard the sound of the doorbell. I opened it and saw the devastated look on my brother's face.Nicholas looked like someone had run him over. He was a complete mess. His hair was all disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot."I lost her.""Who? Carina?""Yes. She doesn't want anything to do with me. She was with that bastard, and now she's with him.""Hey, calm down. Come inside. What's going on? Tell me."He shook his head and ran his hands through his hair. "I don't know what happened. One minute we were fine, and the next, she was yelling at me and kicking me out of her place.""Why?""I found out that she was spending time with that bastard, and I freaked out. I was pissed. So, I went to her place, and he was there. I could smell him all over the apartment.""Nicholas, it's not that bad. They're just friends.""It's more than that, and you know it.""No, it's not. She wouldn't settle for Massimo. Massimo is danger for her, he doesn't
A V E L I N AThe next few weeks passed by in a blur and before I knew it, it was finally time to relocate to New York.I was having a mixture of emotions, excitement, uncertainty, fear and anticipation.I had spent so much time here that it felt like home, and I would miss it."You know you don't have to take any properties from here, right?" Lorenzo said as he packed the rest of my bags."I know. I'm not taking them.""Really?""Yep. Everything here is yours. I don't want it. I've always wanted to start fresh in New York.""That's great, I guess.""You're not happy?""Yes, of course I am. It's just... it feels like we're I'm leaving my family behind. The kids will miss their grandmother, their aunty and uncle. I know they will.""You're not leaving. You can visit them whenever you want. Or we can come here. Plus, this is an opportunity you've always wanted.""I know. And I'm thankful that you're doing this for me. But it's still weird. I've never been away from them since five years
A V E L I N AThe next three months passed by in a blur and before I knew it, my due date was just in one week. Walking has become almost impossible.Lorenzo and I were still busy getting our businesses off the ground. And now, my third child was about to arrive.I couldn't believe that soon I would be a mother of three. Being a mother to the twins was already a strenuous task, and I couldn't imagine adding a third child into the equation.It was going to be difficult, but I was ready for the challenge. "Are you okay? Does anything hurt?" Lorenzo asked as he sat beside me on the couch. He has came back from work just to check up on me. "No, I'm fine. I was just thinking.""About what?""About how difficult this is going to be. With three kids. I'm scared, to be honest.""Don't worry about that now. Let's just get the baby here safely first, and we'll go from there.""Okay.""Come. Let me help you get to bed. It's almost time.""I can do it. You've been running around the house since
A V E L I N AIt was finally the twin's sixth birthday. I could hear the bustling and decorations going on outside as Lorenzo had hired people to work overnight, paying them extra because of the short notice.I opened my eyes and felt a warm hand wrapped around me. I turned to find Lorenzo sleeping peacefully as he held me as if I wanted to run away. He looked even more beautiful in his sleep, his long lashes, thick and fluttering.I didn't want to wake him up. I wanted to stay like this a bit longer. But, this was his first time witnessing the kids birthday and I wanted it to be worth it.I placed kissed all over his face, hoping it would wake him up. It did.He opened his eyes and looked at me, smiling. "Good morning, baby.""Morning. How was your sleep?""It was amazing. But, it would have been better if you were inside me." My sexual frustration was real. We haven't had sex in almost two weeks now, because he was scared that he might hurt the baby now that I'm close to delivery. H
A V E L I N AThe woman's eyes scanned the room and I followed her line of sight and realized that she was staring at Lorenzo and the kids. She smiled, sashaying her hips to where he was.No fucking way.This bitch wasn't thinking about approaching them, was she?I walked toward them, my steps hurried as the baby inside me kicked. I needed to know what was going on.Lorenzo's eyes finally met here and I saw as shock appeared on his face. He definitely knew her.I decided to pause for a moment to listen in on their conversation as the kids ran to play with their friends."Natalia, what the fuck are you doing here?" He said harshly, his eyes burning with anger."What? Is that how you're supposed to greet your wife, Lorenzo?"What?Wife?"We were never married, Natalia. Get the fuck out of my house before I force security to throw you out."Natalia. Why did that name sound so familiar?Deciding that I'd heard enough, I decided to walk into their midst and Lorenzo immediately turned to me
L O R E N Z OThe microphone dropped from my hand as I ran down the stage to where Avelina was.She was in so much pain and I was so scared, I didn't know what to do."Avelina." I said her name softly as she screamed in pain. I turned to my driver. "Go get the car ready.""What's happening, Daddy?" My babies came running up to us and I didn't know what to tell them."Take them away, please." I begged Valerie who was closest to us."Let's go, kids. Come with me." She tried to take them away but the twins refused to budge, tears flowing from their little eyes."We want our mommy.""Mommy will be fine, okay? Go with Aunty Valerie. You can come see Mommy later." I promised them, kissing their little heads before Valerie took them away."Someone call an ambulance!" I roared, and the room was filled with chaos."Oh god!" Avelina cried out and I took her in my arms."Stay with me, baby. You can do it. It will be okay." I was trying my hardest to keep calm, but it was extremely difficult.I i
