EPILOGUE RUSSEL ༒༺❦༻༒ I stood perfectly still, my thoughts reeling as I waited in the quiet hall of the warehouse. During my absence, Stacy had refused to speak, see, or let anyone touch her. Even Kegan, who was supposed to order a pregnancy test done for her by now, couldn't do that because she wouldn't agree. And he couldn't tell me either because, well, I'd asked him not to mention anything about Stacy to me until I returned from my honeymoon. So whether or not she was pregnant was still a mystery. But it wasn't going to be for long. I had Dr. Ramola brought to the warehouse; she was personally going to run the test on Stacy. So far, Dr. Ramola was getting all the samples she needed for the test. "What's up?" I asked as soon as she emerged from Stacy's cell. The doctor scanned all of us for a long moment. "I've gotten everything I'll need," she breathed. "I should be back with the results this evening." "And the strips?" Kegan asked, coming up behind me. The doctor adjust
Chapter 165 ALLESIA ༒༺❦༻༒ Three wonderful weeks on this island, as much as we enjoyed the bliss, we couldn't stay forever. Tomorrow morning, we'll have to return to our life in Sicily. Kegan handled things in Russel's absence up until the second week, allowing us undivided time to enjoy our honeymoon, a kindness I appreciated more than he probably ever knew. But by the third week, Russel had to start working from here, still, certain things just can't be done through a laptop. I'd emailed a few photographers and agencies, even talked to Mario about doing a shoot. Russel insisted I shouldn't have to work, but while the honeymoon glow of a newlywed lasted, I wasn't sure I'd be able to just sit around all day doing nothing at all. At least now that I was fully a Mancini and ten weeks pregnant, with any luck, my husband's jealousy and over-possessiveness might thin down just a bit, though I wasn't holding my breath on that one. Renzo suggested I try to get into school, but honestly,
Chapter 164 ALLESIA ༒༺❦༻༒ I sat outside by the water, sipping lemonade from a glass. The warm sun cast a golden glow on everything, including my husband. He was swimming, his strong, graceful strokes making him look like he belonged in the ocean, a creature entirely at home in the waves in a way I still found myself admiring every single time. "Enjoying the show?" Russel called out, a wide grin adding to his angelic face. "I was just wondering if you're not a fish!" I called back. He smirked. "Let's just say I'm good at everything I do." I shook my head playfully as the tide swept him away once more. The cool beach air was a welcome relief from the heat. I adjusted my sunglasses and pushed the wide-brimmed hat back a bit so I could get a clearer view. I felt relaxed and at peace, soaking in the beautiful sight of my husband, something I never thought I'd get to say about a man like him without a hint of danger attached to the feeling. Since that first night, he had been incredi
Chapter 163 ALLESIA ༒༺❦༻༒ We traveled straight from the ceremony in our wedding clothes in my husband's private jet. Now, almost afternoon, a day after the wedding, we finally landed at our honeymoon destination, which magically had a built-in tarmac. It was a luxurious beach house nestled on the pristine shores of Bora Bora, French Polynesia. The journey had been long and exhausting, with only Luca and five other men accompanying us for security. Russel chose the place because he wanted to feel a sense of peace and serenity, he had been here himself once two years ago, which was when he secured the property. "An island paradise." I was still inside the jet when I stared out at the beauty around me. "It looks almost magical!" I turned to Russel. "And it's too perfect." Russel led me down from the small stairs of the jet, a satisfied smile on his face. "Unlike other girls, you've never talked about wanting to visit a place where the sky meets the sea, so I thought, why not?" I c
Chapter 162 RUSSEL ༒༺❦༻༒ I stood at the altar, my heart pounding as I watched Allesia make her way towards me. She was a vision in white, her gown simple yet elegant, flowing gracefully behind her with each step she took. Her pretty face was veiled, but she held a bouquet of flowers which she pressed close to her stomach like it was a shield against eyes following her every step. Her brother walked by her left, while Nikolai walked by the right, holding her right hand protectively. She had insisted that Nikolai be there to walk her down the aisle. I didn't try to stop him. The way she leaned towards him as they walked showed just how safe she felt around him. I felt guilty now that I understood their relationship better, he saw something in Allesia, a sister like Selina and I couldn't take that away from him too. Even though their relationship didn't work out in a romantic way, he still loved her and she loved him right back– like a sibling, and that was simply beautiful, althou
Chapter 140 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ I sat on the front porch, cradling a cup of lukewarm coffee. I was trying to keep my head clear, and it was kinda working, except I wasn’t really letting my mind focus on a particular thought. I sighed as my eyes involuntarily returned to the adjoining street, where hi
Chapter 141 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ He stood there, obviously trying to decide whether or not to say anything to my mother. By his face, I could tell his resolve was to say no, but as soon as he opened his mouth, I beat him to it. “Mum, don’t worry, we’ll come in,” I said quickly. My mother looked betw
Chapter 143 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ As soon as the elevator door opened to my floor and we stepped out, I pinned her against the door fiercely. She looked at me, stunned, but at the same time, she bit her lower lip, indicating that our thoughts were in line. Well, that was the cue I needed. I touched her, ca
Chapter 145 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ Sometime after Russel left, I slipped into a peaceful sleep. When I woke up later that evening, everywhere was quiet and empty. The bed beside me was cold, a clear sign that he had not returned. I gathered my things and slipped on my dress, then I left the playroom and p
