EPISODE FORTY TWOLUCA.The pain Stefano's face held knew no bounds as he slipped into unconsciousness. "What do you think you're doing?"Stefano's Mom pushed her out of her way. She stared at Hazel who was busy cleaning the blood on her Dad's face. She didn't even spare Stefano who was bleeding profusely at a glance."He's here. He held me..My body. He tried ex..exploring m..my body. He..."Amanda sobbed,holding onto my clothes."You're with me now. With Luca. Not him. Not Evans. Not Ricardo. You're done living in that hell. I'm here."I cried, hugging her tightly. I hate seeing her in pain. It hurts so much. Amanda has grown fond of me over the years because of how I stayed with her during the times of crisis after her first marriage went down the drain. She calls me anytime there's a problem or when she's having a breakdown. I don't want to see her in this state anymore but Evans caused this again because of some few thousands of dollars.She looked so tiny and vulnerable,I'm glad be

EPISODE FORTY FOUR.Stefano's Mom has been helpful for the past three days. She makes some tea that will cure my dizziness and vomiting which is really helpful.I thought the symptoms wouldn't come so fast but it did. I could hardly do anything that requires strength these days which Amanda noticed.Their mother broke the news of my pregnancy to them.Megan and Luca didn't react to it.It was as if they were disappointed about it or maybe they regretted treating me badly.They stopped talking to me.Just the normal greetings and nothing more than that."You should go home and wash up. I prepared some soup for us. Come back and eat."Stefano's Mom urged me softly.She collected the cold towel I used wiping Stefano's body from me.I didn't want to release it at first but she urged me to."I'm fine. I can dress up here.""No. I insist. Go home. Make sure you rest well too. I won't be sleeping here tonight. You will.""Oh,I will sleep then."I nodded and made to leave.Shortly,a call came on m

EPISODE FORTY SIX.I didn't know this shortcut Stefano took but we got home at the same time.Labrinth helped me with the bags and soup ingredients we got on our way back. I'm planning to prepare some soup for him since he can't take any heavy meals for now."Stefano."I called rushing to his car to help him step down but he did that himself before I got there."Are you okay?"I asked again touching his body."Yes. I am."I inhaled a deep breath the moment Labrinth opened the door,I've missed the homely smell so much.I will finally get some good sleep today without worrying much about Stefano again."You can go freshen up in the room. I will wash the ingredients in the fridge."Labrinth promised,with a small smile lingering on her face."Are you going out?""Uhmmm. I need to get some work done."She said pointing to Stefano who was busy with his phone."Oh. Make sure you come back for dinner then."I smiled lightly and her.She pecked me softly on my cheeks before scurrying away."We shou

EPISODE FORTY EIGHT.My hands ran over her body, pressing, squishing and squeezing her into my arms. I slowly took her to the bed, while her hands were wrapped around my neck."Do I have your permission?"I asked, covering my chest with the duvet. Hazel shot me a stare immediately, she dropped her head, making her long hair cover her face, Her hands were wrapped in between each other. A gesture she's fond of doing anytime she's nervous. My shy woman."Hazel."I repeated, cupping her cheeks.Her thin full lips trembled slightly."You don't ask for permission anytime you want to sleep with me. W-what came o-v-ver you?"She stuttered softly, letting go of my clothes she clutched to earlier."I'm sorry. I didn't apologize for what I did the last time.""You made sex unbearable for me. Intimacy scares me a lot. My body had a hard time adapting to your sex life but I never complained. I-I just want you to know how hard it was for me."She sobbed, dabbing her eyes softly.Fuck. I shouldn't have h

EPISODE FIFTY.The next morning ~HAZEL.Stefano woke up earlier before I did. I stood up slowly from the bed, thanking my stars profusely that Stefano isn't in the room because of my annoying morning sickness. Gosh. This baby should not better rat me out before I'm bold enough to break the news to his father.After washing my face and body, I returned to the room just to meet him there, busy with his phone and laptop.Why's he always busy?"The connection isn't strong still?Fuck. Mason. I don't pay you millions of dollars monthly just for you to piss me off this morning."He roared banging the table, making one of the phones crash into the floor.His anger. The way his muscles budge at intervals. Making him the sexy hot headed guy he's always been.I gasp loudly,making him aware of my presence.His features softened the moment he set his eyes on me. How much influence do I have on Jamal?. This always got me curious."Hey."He stretched his hand out to me, I collected it slowly before s
