"You're growing a beard." She told Antonio as her fingers trailed his face, feeling the rough surface underneath her fingertips as they stood in the bathroom.
"Do you want me to shave?" She shrugs turning back to the sink washing her face.
"If you want to."
"We're going out today." He announced moving to the door.
"Where?"
"Where ever the car takes us." She raised a brow smiling softly, amused.
"At least tell me what to wear."
"Something casual." She watched as he left the bathroom, she turned to the mirror frowning at her knotted hair, she knew it would be a pain to comb out but with a sigh, she began but the sound of her phone ringing stopped her, she answered it putting it on speaker.
"Tia, what do you want?" Aaliyah asked as she started unknotting her hair.
"I deserve a little more respect, I am planning your wedding."
"My bad, what do you need sweetheart?"
-Chapter 68: Agency-Aaliyah laughed as Antonio told her a story. "You're lying." He shook his laughing as well."I wish I was, enjoying your meal?" She caught her breath before answering."Yes, it's amazing, who cooked?" She asked even though she had an idea of who."Tyler and I.""I swear I'm going to gain weight if you keep feeding me like this." He smiles staring into her brown eyes."What kind of husband would I be if I didn't treat my wife like a queen." She nods smiling as well."In that case, when am I getting desert?" He made a gesture with his hand making Tia appear out of the shadows. "How do you do that?""Like I said before I should have some secrets to myself." Tia placed the food on the table pouring some more wine in their glasses."Of course you were in on this Tia." She shrugs."I can't let Antonio have all the fun, plus I wasn't doing anything tonight, I'll leave you two lo
- Chapter 69: First Wife - Aaliyah woke up to the smell of breakfast, she opened her eyes seeing a tray of food beside her and Antonio in a suit. "Good morning, gorgeous." He greeted as she yawned running her hands through her curls. "We both know I look like shit." He chuckles moving over to her side of the bed. "Beautiful shit, I have to get going." She leaned up as he leaned in kissing her swiftly. "Why do you have to leave so early?" She asked tiredly. "I have a meeting, you've been slacking off, Tony might just replace you." She smiles rolling her eyes. "You've been spoiling me, I forgot I had a job." He grins kissing her forehead. "Me too, eat everything, I'll see you in about an hour?" She nods watching as he left. With a sigh, Aaliyah turned to the food sitting up ready to fill her empty stomach but her phone rang luckily Antonio had placed it on the tray so she answered putting it on spe
- Chapter 70: Lillian - Sorry for such a late update! - Antonio stared at the road ahead as he drove, his conversation with Samantha playing in his head, over and over again, it was like a sickness that wouldn't go away. -Flashback- "What? She doesn't know how you killed your first wife?" He stayed silent as his mind flashed with images of her death, his first love. "Then again, how was she supposed to know? Your family made sure she was erased from this earth, you know I talked to her parents?" His jaw clenched as she walked closer to him. "Nice people, they were reluctant to talk about her, I'm guessing your father paid them to keep quiet, but I'm very persuasive, so they talked, told me quite a lot." She told him her fingers trailing his cheek, he held her hand removing it from his cheek, making her smile. "Don't be rude now, I can end you with just one call." He kept a straight face which only fueled he
-Chapter 71: No one-Aaliyah looked up from her book casting a glance at Antonio as he drank, him drinking was a normal thing but his shoulders seemed tenser than usual and his mind seemed to be swirling with thoughts as he stared out in space."Antonio." She called out but got no response, called out for him once again. "Antonio." He was still so deep in thought, she wondered what was on his mind ever since she came home he was like this, she was worried she did something to upset him.With a sigh, she moved out of her chair going to him, once she arrived in front of him, he looked up meeting her gaze."Are you alright?" He asked but his mind seemed to be somewhere else."I'm fine, but are you ok? You seem out of it today." He sighs moving her onto his lap."Just thinking about something." He admitted brushing her hair from her face. "Nothing for you to worry about though.""But I am worried, tell me what's wrong."
-Chapter 72: JetSorry for missing the update Monday, I've been having some family matters so I'll be off schedule.-"Antonio hurry up, we're going to be late," Aaliyah called out as she took up her purse, fixing her heels.They were currently leaving the house for their parenting class, this is was just getting Aaliyah's hopes up."Give me a few minutes I just need to fix my hair." She rolled her eyes, going inside the fridge taking a bottle of water."And they say women take long." she took a seat on the couch thinking about how much her life had changed in the little time she and Antonio had been together, she was going to have a baby with him, though she still felt sad she couldn't give him a child of his own blood."No overthinking sweetheart." She jumped in shock hearing his voice behind her."What did I-""-say about scaring people? My bad beautiful, are you ready to go?" He asked she nods removing hersel
- Chapter 73: Who Said - "Paris? You can't even speak French, Liyah." He states as they entered their hotel room. "It won't matter because you can and most of your friends can, why did you bring them here again?" When Aaliyah entered the jet, Tia, Lamar, Marcus, Tyler and Deshawn were already there waiting for them. "I didn't know they were coming and they promised they won't bother us." She sighs hands moving around his neck as he held her waist. "If you say so, but your friends will-" A knock on the door interrupted her. "Antonio! Aaliyah! We're going to the pool do you want to join us?" They heard Tyler, Aaliyah gave a look that said 'I told you so' he smiles, she moved out of his hand. "No, we have a pool here! Aaliyah, where are you going?" He asked taking a seat on the bed as he heard Tyler walking away. "I'm going to take a shower then get some rest, you did pack clothes for me right?" He shook his head.
-Chapter 74: French & Bed-Aaliyah and the group walked around Paris exploring the city and its beauty, "I wish I could live here, the food is delicious, this place is beautiful, what was the name of the dish we ate for breakfast? Crope?" Tia asked making them laugh at her failed attempt to pronounce the word."It's Croque Madame, and I agree it was delicious." Antonio corrected her as he held Aaliyah's hand. "What was your favourite dish beautiful?" He asked Aaliyah, Tia's eyes met Marcus's for a swift second before she looked forward as Aaliyah answered."I'm going to say the same as Tia, I can't pronounce anything else." They entered the mall, looking around at the different coloured clothes."Why are we here?" Tyler asked."Aaliyah and I are going somewhere tomorrow night before we leave so I'm letting her pick a dress." Aaliyah raised her eyebrow as this was news to her."Where are we going?""That's a surpris
- Chapter 75: Angry almost sex - "Aaliyah listen-" She shook her head as she hung up the phone throwing it at him, he dodged it causing the phone to fall on its face breaking. "Aaliyah it's not what you think." She rolled her eyes not caring about the lie that came from his lips. "It is what I think. I'm not stupid Antonio." She moved towards the closet taking out the empty bag, she took her clothes from the hangers putting them into the bag. "Liyah, nothing is going on between Samantha and me. I swear on my life." She gave him a look that said 'Do you think I believe you?' "Is that why her name is saved as David and not Samantha?" He sighs stepping towards but she stopped him. "Don't." "I know how that may look but Samantha and I are not sleeping together, I love you so much, I would never do that." She nods closing the bag. "I believed that too. I should have realized all those calls you got in the middle of the night
