I was woken up by baby cries. "Your son is awake,” I said sleepy.
Edmund groaned and turned his back at me. What a sweet husband.
"It's not evening anymore. My duty is done, he is yours until morning,” he said, laughing.
I groaned and looked at the time. It was 3 a.m, and it's my duty. I went to get up, but he grabbed my hand.
"Just kidding. I got it,” he said getting out of bed.
"Are you sure?" I asked uncertain and he nodded.
"Yes,” he said walking out of the room as the cries got louder. I stayed in bed for a couple of minutes and Iñigo stopped crying.
I trusted Edmund with the baby, but it won't hurt to go check on them. I slowly got out of bed. I wore my Silk robe and walked out of the door. I walked in Marco's room to a shirtless Lucca there, just standing in front of the crib staring at our sleeping baby. He looked deep in
"Can I come in?" he asked looking at me and that seem to have woken Edmund from his transe."No.” He snapped."Come on, Son. I haven't seen you in twenty years,” he said darkly. "Aren't you at least going to present me to your beautiful little family?" he said pointing at Inigo and I.Edmund looked at him darkly."Whatever you do, I don't give a fuck. Just stay away from my family," Edmund said darkly, and the man looked at him hardly then smirk."You talk back at me now, Son,” he said darkly. "You're a man now, I see,” he added. "I heard you owned a big company". He hardly looked at his surroundings. "You're a billionaire. And you didn't even think about your old father who's starving every day.”Edmund shrugged. "Doesn't look like you're starving to me.""Who made you the man you are today?" The man snapped
"Hey baby,” I cooed at Iñigo opened his eyes and started making small noises."Isn't he going to cry?" Penelope asked frowning, and I shook my head."He's a good boy.” I smiled pulling his blanket down a little. "Well sometimes. Usually, he cries in the middle of the night,” I said making her chuckle."Then who wakes up. You or Edmund?" she asked."Well, it depends. He does it sometimes,” I answered taking a sip of my drink."He better. He got you pregnant. If he doesn't, you just kick his ass or I will,” she said in a funny way."You're crazy. Make sure you remember that when you and Rio have a baby.” I said smirking at her. She shook her head smiling before taking her phone out."Well I have to go. My mom is waiting for me,” she said, and I nodded smiling. "Tell my soon-to-be brother-in-l
"What did you find about Reynaldo?" Edmund asked as Carlo changed his expression into a serious one. With that face, you would never guess how playful he really is."For years He has been working in shop in Italy. He came here two weeks ago. We don't know who he knows here or how he knew about you, but I know he has someone here,” Carlo explained seriously."He has been in jail for ten years and has been released five years ago,” he continued. "He didn't get married again and no children. After you and your mother left, he went to the police saying you were missing but that was before your dad found a way to get the divorce for your mom and changed your last name into Cardinal. It just got harder for Reynaldo to find you.” He stopped. "Until now,” he added making Edmund sigh."Well, there's nothing he can do. I'm not scared of him. I'm not a kid anymore. If he tries to hurt my family, there'
"Love?" I called walking around the house but not finding him anywhere. I sighed and went to his office. I quietly walked in to see him deep in thought. "Love,” I called again, and he finally looked at me raising an eyebrow.It's been a week since the incident, and he has been restless. He doesn't want to tell me anything and it's frustrating me to no point. I hate it when he shuts me out."Did you find the people who did it?" I asked him, and he sighed looking at me."You don't really need to worry about it, Alena." He sighed, causing me to groaned."Yes, I do." I sighed.He shook his head looking at me. "They were working for my dad," he told me."All of this needs to stop, Edmund. I want to live a peaceful life—for me, for you, and Iñigo.""I will make it stop,” he said looking at me sincerely. "I promise, Love."&nbs
Irina ran into the forest, grinning in satisfaction. She glanced back to see a wrecked Alena and Edmund's body, lying on the ground."I finally did it," she said happy with herself. "I killed that asshole. Now let's see who will keep me away from my baby.” She chuckled, happy that everything went as planned."You're even more crazy than I've heard,” A male voice chimed in, and she quickly turned around looking at the blond man in front of her."W-Who are you?" she asked looking around."Mikael Galton,” he answered looking at her hardly. Her eyes widened a little at the last name.He smirked at her reaction. "Yes, Galton. Two years ago, you kidnapped a pregnant woman. You tried to take her baby and you killed the both of them.”"I didn't kill anyone!" Irina snapped. He chuckled humorlessly. "You did. Because she was bleeding and you left her in that shithole until the baby died and she died too while giving birth. Just know that the woman was my sister.”"I said I didn't kill anyone!
"I was worried, Love," I said as he pushed the bedroom door open. He walked in after me closing the door behind him. "Did you need to call Uno?" he asked, and I sighed."He was the only one I could call.” I sighed, and he glared at me."Why couldn't you just stay home?" He asked frustrated."Because I was worried about you,” I said wrapping my arm around his neck. "I'm sorry," I said kissing him softly."You're incorrigible and fucking stubborn,” he whispered while engulfing his arms around me. "You came with him. What if I was really dead?” he asked. "You're crazy!" I said with wide eyes. He shook his head before locking his lips with mine. I groaned when he held me tighter deepening the kiss. He kissed me hardly, his hands going to the hem of my shirt. With a single motion he pulled it over my head and unclipped my bra."Oh, my God.” I gasped chuckling as he pushed me on the bed getting on top of me. He reached to cup my naked breasts."Fucking stubborn, yet so beautiful." He grow
"You bitch,” was the first thing I heard when I entered Penelope's condo.I chuckled as I saw her walking out of the kitchen glaring at me. I smiled brightly and kissed her cheek. She just glared at me. "You said you were coming to take him when you're done with whatever you were doing.""I'm sorry. Things happened." I smiled at her.She shook her head. "Whatever. What happened anyways? Rio doesn't want to tell me," she asked as she walked to the kitchen, and I followed her."My baby. . ." I smiled putting my purse in the counter and taking Iñigo in my arms. "I missed you sweetheart.” I kissed his cheek."He was crying every time we wanted to sleep, and he stops crying when we keep our eyes open,” Penelope said, and I chuckled. "He is sadistic,” she complained."He is an angel, isn't he?" I said and she shook her head smiling."What happened last night?" she asked again."Edmund and I went on a date. You know, husband and wife thing?"Her eyes widened and burst out laughing. "Are we e
4 YEARS LATER"Iñigo, be nice to your brother.” I groaned."He keeps stealing my toys,” Iñigo whined taking his plane from Iverson, who started crying."Iñigo, share!” I sighed picking Iverson up and hugging him while seating on the couch. "He is one year old. He's still a baby.”"I’m still a baby too,” Iñigo replied angrily pulling on Iverson's hand. Just then Edmund came from behind and picked him up."Calm down now. You're four. You're not a baby anymore,” he said sternly."No, it is my toy and she's my mommy,” he said angrily, and started crying."You have to share, Iñigo," Edmund said as Iñigo jumped out of his arms."I don't share. She is my mommy,” he said taking Iverson's hand, again to pull him off my laps."Okay.” I said standing up. "Take him,” I gave Iverson to Edmund, and turned to Iñigo. "Come here." I said picking him up. "Stop acting like that,” I said as he put his head on my shoulder."No.” He sniffed. I looked at Edmund to see Iverson was calm now and started playin
