Aria POVI opened my eyes slowly , Paola giggles woke me up.She sat at my back with a smile on her face."Paolita.." I whined .Then I turned around , that's when I noticed Paola wasn't at my back , she was in my front.Theo hands wrapped tightly around me , cuddling me.My face flushed .I looked at Paola , she still giggled.Theodore groaned slightly and then opened his eyes.I felt his breath on my neck , it sent tingles down to my core."Good morning." He greeted in his husky morning voice.I have to be ovulating or something , cause my body has been reacting to him since yesterday .My thighs clenched."Huh .. Theo , let go .. of me.." I managed to speak."I like it this way though." He teased , still holding me."Theo!" I chided and nodded over to Paola , who now stood on the dressing chair in front of the dressing mirror , trying to pack her hair.We laughed , she was too cute.Theo stood up and walked towards her."Good morning miss Paolita." He chortled fondling her cheeks ,
Luciana POVIt seemed Simon doesn't remember me .He doesn't know I'm a Galterio , I guess that's a good thing though.When I saw him at the Park yesterday , I felt this weird feeling , like butterflies in my tommy.I just hope it's not what I think it is ... I can't fall for Simon.I shook my head trying to get rid of the thoughts.Then I saw Theodore walking towards Noni's room , he looked angry... I decided to follow him."Noni , why did you take away the Romanos mansion?" I heard him ask before I entered."The Romanos mansion?" I questioned as I stepped into the room."It was never part of our plan , there are innocent people living there too." Theo said."None of the Romanos are innocent, don't be deceived!." She scowled."Moreover , you have no right questioning my actions." She added.I felt my blood boil."Yes , we do ... Especially when you are doing something that isn't fair." I chided."I don't have to explain myself to you." She snapped walking out of the room."Everyth
Theodore POVAfter making sure Aria was okay , I called Pancho and told him what happened.He insisted that he was coming over with some men to pick us up , I agreed ... it would be better to just return to the mansion , at least for now.I looked at Aria , she was still shaking , she must have had a fright.I squatted in front of her and took her hands in mine.“Hey , it’s okay ... we are okay.” I reassured and kissed her knuckles.“Can ... we ... go back to the mansion?” She asked shakily.I nodded.Pancho and the men arrived , with their guns fully loaded , Incase of another attack.We arrived at the mansion , it was late midnight already but Noni and everyone else were still awake , I guess they are worried , Pancho must have told them.“Nipote!” Noni cried out immediately she saw me and ran to embrace me.“Are you okay , are you hurt?” She asked worriedly.“I’m fine Noni , we are fine.” I replied soothingly in order to calm her down.“I knew you shouldn’t have left , it’s too ris
Madam Alexandra POVI have to find a way to make Theodore believe it was the Romanos that was behind the attack.“Yes , Madam Alexandra doesn’t suspect a thing.” I stopped when i heard someone whispering , I walked closer and saw Greta , the new maid Esma brought to me some months back.I have been suspicious of her lately , especially when I caught her in my room , she claimed she was cleaning , but I didn’t believe her.I hid behind the wall and listened closely to her conversation.“Yes Ma’am Celine , I will make sure to report back to you if there’s any news." She said.So she is a spy for the Romanos?She ended the call and walked out .Her face turned white when she saw me.“You ungrateful thing , after employing you , you still have the guts to betray me.” I spat.She immediately fell to her knees with pleads.“I’m..I’m sorry Ma’am.” She stuttered.“Who sent you , tell me!.” I yelled.“Mrs ..Celine..Romano.” She trembled.“How long has this been going on!” I demanded , she ke
Aria POV I woke up to the scent of flowers.I slowly opened my eyes to see Theo with a bouquet of fresh roses .“Good morning Beautiful.” He greeted with a smile handing me the flowers.I blushed and collected them.“To what do I owe this lovely gesture?” I smiled.“Beautiful flowers like this belongs to a beautiful woman like you.” He commented staring intensely at me.I blushed deeper , I can’t help it.“I fear You are becoming too soft Mr Galterio .” I joked.“Well , I’m only like this to you . you are very lucky you get to see this side of me Pumpkin.” He teased.I laughed , “Pumpkin?.” He scratched his beard nervously , “too cheesy?.”I smiled , “I love anything you call me.”He leaned and gave a peck on my lips .“Aren’t you angry about yesterday ... because of Simon?..” I asked as I played with the hem of my gown.He raised my face up with his index finger , “it’s quite the opposite Princess , I’m exhilarated ... you declared your feelings for me in front of everyone , I was
Theodore POVI grabbed my suit Jacket and walked out of my room.Aria door was slightly open , I checked but she wasn’t in.“Theo?” I heard her soft voice , I turned around ... she held a cup of coffee in her hands.“Good morning.” I greeted with a smile.“Morning ... you are heading out?” She asked , seeing as I was dressed.I nodded , “yes , I have a meeting.” “Oh.” She mouthed.I walked closer to her and played with her hair .“Don’t miss me too much.” I teased.She glared playfully , I chuckled.Then Pancho approached us ,“Hey... leaving without me?” He whined.I groaned and facepalmed myself ,“God... I can’t believe you are just waking up.”He smiled sheepishly ,“I thought the meeting was in the afternoon.”I shook my head , “just meet me in the office.”I kissed Aria and left to my car.Noni walked towards me , “Theodore , you are leaving already?” I nodded.“Why don’t you take one or two men along? , since Pancho isn’t going with you.” She suggested worriedly.“There’s n
Alexandra POVI paced around angrily.I can’t believe my plan to implicate Hernando didn’t work.Well , there’s nothing that can be done.moreover , Theodore believes the Romano are responsible for the first attack on the house.It’s time to carry out my next move.“Rocco!” I called out.He ran over immediately.“Is Theodore home?” I asked .“No ma’am , he left with Pancho this morning.” He replied.“Good. Gather the men , we are going to attack the Romano mansion.”“But Ma’am , Theodore isn’t aware of this.” He argued.“If I give you an order , you do it ... don’t question me.” I barked.“Yes ma’am.” He hurried away.The men were ready with their guns.They all assembled before me at the Veranda.I stood up , “we are going to catch them off guard ... fire at the house from a distance to make it seem like an attack , am I clear?” I instructed.I turned around to see Mother Esma and Aria , they both looked confused at the scene.I smiled smugly at Aria ,“You didn’t really think i woul
Celine POVSerena Handed me a cup of water.“Try to relax ma’am.” She said.“How can I relax? , Giovanni almost got himself killed!.” I stressed.“I know , but it’s still important you calm down ... for your health and that of the baby.” She added.I touched my belly and smiled.When I discovered I was Pregnant , joy filled my soul.After i had Martina , We waited for a long time before we had Paola.I had series of miscarriage which made childbearing difficult , but we eventually had little Paolita.But I really want a male child because Giovanni is ready to make Simon the heir over everything and I can’t allow that.If I can give birth to a boy , I’m sure his mind would change.I rubbed my belly again and muttered,“I love you son.”Then Giovanni walked in looking all sober , he squatted in front of me and kissed my hands.“I’m sorry you were stressed today.” He apologised.“You were ready to die without even considering any of us.” I chided.“I’m really sorry.” He said again and t
