Aria POVIt’s been a week already and Theodore is coming home today, Pancho already went to pick him from the airport.I couldn’t help but feel excited, I was rummaging through my wardrobe looking for what to where.“Love really makes people crazy, tsk.” Becca teased, shaking her head.I looked around my room which was now a mess.Luciana laughed and then brought out a red dress from the wardrobe.“This will entice him enough.” She winked.My cheeks turned red, “I’m not trying to entice him.”They both hummed teasingly, I gave them a playful glare and went inside my closet to change.I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself. A smile appeared on my face- I did look beautiful.“You always look beautiful.” Becca complimented, resting her chin on my shoulders.I chuckled, then my mood dropped slightly when I remembered she was leaving today.“You can stay for a few more days, I’m sure Theodore won’t mind.” I suggested, already missing her.She chuckled, “I know, but I really m
Evan POVI stood by my window and watched as Aria walked to her room. She must have finished the conversation she was having with Dad.Aria is undeniably beautiful, the first time I saw her, I was captivated by her beauty. I kissed her hands just to feel her flawless skin but also to annoy Theodore.I won’t deny that I’m utterly Jealous of him for getting a woman like Aria, but then again, he always attracted all the beautiful ladies, even the woman I wanted so bad was deeply in love with him.I loved Reneè so much. For Ten whole years, I was in love with her but she was too obsessed with Theodore to even notice me.Reneè didn’t care if Theodore loved her or not, she was ready to do anything, absolutely anything, just so he could be with her but he still didn’t want her, no matter what she did.It was really Pathetic to watch and I was so fucking Jealous of him because I would literally do anything for Reneè to show me an ounce of that attention.Then one day, surprisingly, I heard t
Aria POV I particularly woke up happy and excited this morning. Well because I get to see my little girl! and I can’t wait.Becca texted me yesterday night, Dad went on a business trip so I get to spend a day with Paola. I can finally sleep next to her after all this while, I just want to cuddle her already.Theo chuckled as he walked into the room.“Somebody is extra happy this morning.” He smiled.I giggled, “I can’t wait to see my Paolita.”“I’m sure she misses you too, I would have loved for her to spend some time with us here instead. I miss that little princess.” He pouted.I chuckled but I knew he wasn’t joking. It’s surprising the bond they both have.He literally adores her, and she does too. It was the simple truth.From the first day she met Theodore, she has always had a special bond with him and she felt so comfortable around him too. Even after all that happened, she still loved him and rooted for us, she had the major role in bringing us back together again. It just
Reneè POVI plan on carrying out Mom’s plan today. Aria isn’t here right now, which means Theodore would be alone, it would give me the perfect opportunity.“Mom, I still feel like this is a bad idea.” I played with my fingers nervously.“Renee, we have talked about this, just relax and act natural.” She advised.She handed the glass of wine to me, “I added the drug already. Give this to Theodore, It’s a very strong sedative, he won’t even remember what happened when he wakes up.” She assured me.I nodded and picked up the glasses, holding Theodore’s in my left hand, so I wouldn’t mix it up.He arrived a while ago, so he must have settled in by now.I walked to his room and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. He opened it.“Renee?.” He furrowed his brows slightly, I guess he was just surprised to see me.“Hey, I learnt you had the Pre-launch of your new company today, I came to celebrate.” I smiled and raised the glasses.“Um, Thank you... come in.” He said with a small smi
Alexandra POVI stood at the Balcony enjoying the cool breeze of the morning. I have always loved this place, because it is close to the beach, but more importantly, this was where the boys spent their vacation. This house is flooded with their childhood memories. I looked at the picture frame in my hands, it was a picture of Ezekiel and my dear Alessandro. Ezekiel is seated while Alessandro stood beside him, with bright smiles on their faces. I stroked the picture with tears in my eyes, death snatched them away from me.I picked up the second frame and it was a picture of my husband, Alfonso.I smiled sadly and hugged it close to my chest. Alfonso was just more than my husband, he was my Savior sent by the almighty himself. I loved and adored him, that’s why till this very day I would forever be haunted by his soul— because I killed him.The journey of my life and the story of my enmity with the Romanos is one I never like to recall because I suffered a lot, and just thinking ab
Giovanni POV “Darling?.” Celine knocked gently on my door.A smile appeared on my face immediately I saw her and her little protruding belly.I beckoned for her to come to me.“You fell asleep immediately you returned, I guess your flight was stressful.” She massaged my shoulders.“Yea. But all this would be worth it when I can finally get all those contracts. The Russian Mafia already agreed to an alliance, it’s a small gang but it’s a start. I would need much more support if I want to take Alexandra and Theodore down.” I grumbled.Celine opened her mouth to speak then closed it shut immediately, biting her lips nervously.I furrowed my brows in confusion, “Celine, what is it?.”She avoided eye contact with me and fiddled with her fingers.“Don’t get too mad, okay?.” She smiled nervously.I raised a brow, not understanding what she was on about.She sighed and sat next to me.“Aria came to see Paola, she spent the night”I sprang up angrily. “What!, i made it clear she wasn’t allowe
Aria POV“Good morning.” I waved to the receptionist with smiles on my face.Today is my first day at the fine arts academy, I’m excited and nervous at the same time. It’s a good thing I managed to convince Theodore to let me be on my own, without the guards. I just don’t want to attract too much attention to myself, especially since it’s the first day. He agreed reluctantly and told Pancho to drop me off.Honestly, I was a little hurt because I wanted him to drop me off instead. I thought it was because he had to go to the office but Pancho told me his schedule was clear. Now that I even think about it, Theo has been acting weird ever since I came back from visiting Paola and I don’t know why.I sighed and rubbed my wrinkled forehead, I’m probably just stressing over nothing.I walked into the lobby which was filled with students, everyone going about their own business. The place was well decorated with Paintings and different artifacts, a typical art institute.A smile found its
Ma’am Serena POVMy heart felt heavy as I heard the news about Aria being kidnapped again.Oh lord, why does that poor girl have to go through that fate?. Sometimes I blame myself, if I had told Damien the truth about Aria being his daughter, I’m sure he would have claimed her and things would have been so much different. Me and her mother destined her to a life of suffering.“Make sure no one sees you.” I overheard Giovanni say on the phone as I passed by his room, his door was slightly ajar and instinctively I decided to stop to eavesdrop.“Take her to the abandoned warehouse, I will be right there.” He added, then ended the call.Abandoned Warehouse?, I gasped and immediately threw my hands over my mouth, I scurried away before he would see me. Could he.. could he have kidnapped Aria?, I know he despises her but up to this extent?.I heard the gates opening, I peeped through my window and saw him driving out with a speed.I hurried to his room, it was lock, but it’s a good thing t
