Marcello acted the perfect gentleman the entire night. He cut my steak , filled my glass and even gave me a peck on the lips outside the restaurant, after our dinner. Completely lost in the moment, I made an irredeemable mistake.

What did I do ,you ask?

Patience, dear reader.

Marcello didn’t drive us back. He called for a driver because he had a few glasses of wine over dinner. Since someone else was driving us, Marcello and I sat in the backseat. He was still so carefree, lightly patting my thighs every now and then, even offering me small smiles. Smiles I thought were sincere . That’s why I let go of my senses for a minute and said. “ I went to the doctor’s last week, yunno”

He hummed in response, his head leaned back on the headrest. I should have stopped there but no, I didn’t.

“ The doctor said something funny.” I chuckled to ease some of the awkwardness that I was feeling. “ The doctor said we need to have more sex, because it will help the baby. Pfft… funny right?”

But, he did

    Marcello’s POV My steps are apprehensive as I near the room where Julio is being held. The confrontation is long overdue but one part of me is sad that this incident will sever the ties I have with him. I grew up with Julio under the same roof and have always considered him someone who will always be around. Having only a bratty sister, he was the perfect companion and brother. Together, we unleashed havoc on Carlotta and her dolls, and in the same way, we became her personal guards.In High school, we played on the School’s soccer team and , together we were unstoppable. While I juggled internships at the company with my studies, Julio had no interest in business. He took up culinary arts. He started cooking when I couldn’t even make boiled eggs. It was surprising when he told me he would rather work as a chef in my house, instead of opening a restaurant , like we all thought he would. Of course, I didn’t treat him as a worker. He had liberties others couldn’t afford. He had alwa

    Marcello’s POV Just thinking about the kind of risks that Zara has faced in the few months of our marriage makes me want to rethink everything. Was it worth it to bring her into my chaotic life and make her face all of these? With the pregnancy, she is already at risk of losing her life. Now, the kidnap and this. Thankfully, Uncle Blaine arrived in time and told us not to worry. She just needed to be placed on bed rest; which he already made clear to her before now. Zara wakes up with a stir, eyes fluttering open. She whimpers softly as I grab her hand. Her eyes look dull and almost lifeless, and her face, pale under the dim lights of the room. It feels like a knife has been plunged into my chest and turned repeatedly. It's all my fault. “ Why didn’t you tell me that Julio wasn’t in custody?” she asks softly. “ I didn’t want to bother you, Sugar. You are already battling a lot, and that would have taken a huge toll on your health.” “ You should have told me” , she insists stub

    Zara's POV She’s here. I can’t see her physically but I can feel her, waiting…lurking in the shadows. The room I’m locked in feels smaller somehow and with each passing second, it closes in. Closer. Closer.Where is Marcello?Then, the room changes and I am at the entrance of the building, about to make my escape. But he stops me in my tracks. The curly haired man. Julio.I get down on my knees in a moment of weakness and desperation. “ Please let me go, Julio. I beg you. If you let me go, I’ll do anything. I won’t tell Marcello you were working with her.”He laughs me to scorn. “ I don’t care whether you tell him. Although, I highly doubt you can.”He stalks closer, like a predator about to devour his innocent prey. “ Corpses can’t tell no tales, dearest sister -in- law”He pulls out a gun from his waistband and aims it at me. Cold sweat lines my brows and upperlips. Before I can act further, Marcello emerges from the darkness, effectively blocking me from the gun. In a split seco

    Marcello’s POV I have never experienced fear like I did today. One minute I was smiling at the brief conversation I shared with Zara, and the next, I received a call that a strange man had abducted her. I ran like a mad man all the way to the control room and when I saw the video, I was paralyzed on the spot. Because there was no time to waste, I started barking out orders to track the vehicle that the abductor left in. After an unsuccessful hour of searching every security camera on the roads leading away from the company, did I receive a text. The text contained an address and a note to come alone. I tire out of there like a mad man to the garage. I barely got into the driver’s seat before Michael stopped me. I had punched him square on the jaw then but he quickly regained his balance and stopped me. “ Cello! Listen to me , man. You’re in no state to drive.”“ They took her, Mike. I don’t even know who did this. It’s all my fault. What if something happens to her?”But, he was q

    Zara’s POV “Okay, Beatrice, am I supposed to know who you are?”She maintains the wide grin on her face but I see her left eye twitch a little. She flips her hair and continues. “ It’s Brenda”“ That’s what I said”She looks like she wants to slap me. The feeling is mutual. She gives me a cursory gaze from head to toe. " you're quite the plain Jane. I wonder what he sees in you."" excuse me?"“ you're excused.""Look here, you..."she raises her palm as if to signal me to stop talking.Marcello will be here soon so why don’t you run along and wait for him inside?”“Let me out of here and I promise I won’t make you pay for it.” She cackles loudly, dry and scratchy, like nails on a chalkboard. I have to physically restrain myself from wincing. She traces a line down the side of my face with her nail and lifts my chin with one finger. “I don’t think you quite get it , honey. I call the shots around here , not you. I’ve been very civil with you so far. We don’t want that to change, do

    Zara’s POV The thing about regret is that it comes so belatedly. It waits until you’ve gotten so caught up in your actions , then it shows it’s face. I should have listened to him . I should have stayed home when he asked me to but I wouldn’t be Zara Parkinson if I became pliant.After I left Marcello’s office, I decided to go home because I had had enough for one day. My feet ache and there was a dull throbbing in my temple. It wasn’t until I got to the underground parking lot that I noticed something was off . I felt a presence behind me but when I turned , I saw nobody. Still, I couldn’t shake off the eerie feeling.I rushed to Mercedes C300 that Marcello let me use and searched frantically for my car keys in my handbag. But, just before I could insert the key, a heavy body slammed into me from behind. In the process, I slammed my belly against the car. Pain like I have never felt engulfed me, from my stomach to every part of my body. I scanned the vicinity for an escape opening
