"Don't touch me!", Arieon yelled at him as tears fell freely from her eyes. She was breathing heavily from the way she ran down the stairs. "You'll harm yourself, be careful!", Enzo snapped at her angrily. She glared at him, "The only harm that will come to me is you, so stay the fuck away!". He rolled his eyes and walked down the stairs. The more steps he took towards her,the more she moved backwards. Her back hit the wall and she cursed internally. He grinned in triumph and placed his fingers on her jaw making her to look at him. "Mi cara, you're the only good in my life. You and our unborn child", he placed his hand on her stomach and she felt her heart flutter. "Stop running away", he leaned closer to her. "And if I don't", she asked in a hushed tone. Their eyes locked and he grinned, "I'll keep chasing you, Arieon".
view moreArieon watched distastefully as her mother continued to talk about the wedding party they were going to attend the next day.
"Arieon, pay attention child!", Elisa scolded her daughter who was narrowing her eyes at her. With an eye roll, she continued with what she was saying.
"Mother, do I really have to go?", Arieon asked. Elisa glared at her stubborn daughter, "You're going to that wedding no matter what. We need to present ourselves there as a family".
"Dear, take it easy on her", Lucas walked in holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
'Thank you!', Arieon screamed in her head as her mother's shoulders sagged down.
"Has Tiffany sent your dress?", Elisa asked her daughter. She nodded, "I got it this morning".
"You and your sisters are going to the spa later this afternoon", her mother said. With an annoyed sigh, she nodded and stood up to leave.
Eliza watched in frustration as her daughter left the living room.
"She as grown to be a beautiful woman", Lucas said as he sat beside his wife. She nodded in agreement.
"He'll come for her soon", she said. "She has too be prepared", he said. "Don't you think we're being hard on her? I mean we don't allow her to do the same things her sisters do. She's just twenty one", she asked him.
"You remember he said she must be pure", he told her. With a sad sigh, she nodded.
Meanwhile, Arieon was in her room staring at the ceiling with so much frustration that it hurt.
"I always have to attend every party", she mumbled in sadness. She didn't like social events. She was never the type to go out with friends.
"What's up with the pout?", Addison walked in holding a box of macaroons. Alison followed her in and they sat on the bed beside their sister.
"How was your outing?", Arieon asked her sisters. "We wish you could come. The pizza palace did a giveaway. We brought a souvenir", Alison pointed at the box of macaroons with a grin.
"Thanks, guys", Arieon smiled at them. They were the only people she associated with. They were her best friends. Dylan was her best friend but he was always busy so she confided in her sisters.
"What lesson did mom give you today?", Addison asked jokingly. "She was talking about the senator that was going to attend the wedding tomorrow", she answered with a sigh.
Knowing how she felt, Alison pinched her cheek making her tell in pain.
"Why did you so that?", Arieon glared at her. "You were being all sad and mushy", she countered.
They began to bicker while Addison rolled her eyes and began to eat the macaroons.
Even though the three of them were triplets, her being the first born was still more mature than the rest.

Dinner in the De Mevius family was always eventful. Elisa would always surprise her family with unique and delicious dishes.
"Mom, what did you even put in this stuff? It's like you can make cake out of faeces!", Alison moaned as she chewed on her food.
Lucas let out a laugh at his daughter's statement while her sisters rolled their eyes.
Leave it Alison to always say nonsense while eating.
"Thanks a lot sweetie", Elisa chuckled.
"I need to start taking cooking classes", Alison said thoughtfully.
"No thank you, we don't want the house to burn down", Addison protested. "I second that", Arieon agreed.
Alison stuck out her tongue at them and they rolled their eyes again.
"I think Alison was meant to be the last born", Elisa chuckled.
"Exactly!", Addison exclaimed and they all laughed.
After dinner, the triplets helped their mother to clean up while their father went back to his study.
"Girls, we're leaving for the wedding by ten", Elisa informed them as they turned to leave.
They nodded. "Goodnight, mom", they said and left the kitchen.
"Is it too late to pretend to be sick?", Alison said as they climbed the large staircase.
Her sisters chuckled and shook their head. "You should have done that earlier this morning", Arieon told her.
"Whatever, I'm going to be off for the night", Alison yawned as they reached the too of the stairs.
"More like stay up all night chatting with Dylan", Addison teased. Alison's cheeks heated as she shot her sister a death glare while Arieon let out a laugh. "Goodnight", Alison said and turned to walk down the hallway to where are room was.
"Tell Dylan I said hi!", Addison yelled making Alison flip her the bird. Addison turned to her other sister, "Goodnight, lil sis".
"I'm only younger by eleven minutes", she grumbled. Addison chuckled and ruffled her hair before walking towards her room.
Arieon made her way to get room as she felt a wave of tiredness overcome her.

Bored.
That was the only word to describe how the De Mevius triplets were feeling.
They were at the reception of the newly wedded couples.
Sadly, they were not allowed to drink. Their parents knew better than to allow their daughters to get drunk in public.
"We're not ten year olds", Alison grumbled as she crossed her arms across her chest childishly. "Stop being a baby", Addison said.
"Why do guys stare at us like we're food?", Arieon asked with annoyance. Her sisters laughed at how annoyed she was. Unlike her sisters, Arieon didn't really get along with the male population. The only people she got along with was Dylan and her cousins.
There was no doubt that the De Mevius triplets were very beautiful. At every party they attend, they were always the spotlight. Elisa and Lucas were always proud of their children's beauty.
"Six o' clock", Addison's eyes widened as she looked behind Arieon's back. Frowning at her words, Arieon turned back. "Hello beautiful", a blonde guy who looked to be about twenty five said.
There was no denying that he was cute but Arieon was never interested in any relationship. There was a point that her sister thought she was into girls.
"Hey?"
It was more of a question than a reply but the blonde guy didn't catch on.
The way his blue eyes roamed her body made her cringe inwardly at how obvious he was.
"Want to have a drink with me?", He asked.
"No, thank you. My sisters and I were just leaving", she motioned towards her sisters who caught the drift.
"Just one drink won't hurt", he pressed on which successfully irritated her. This guy didn't know when to stop, didn't he?
"I'm not interested!", She glared at him and walked past him with her sisters following behind.
"You shouldn't have been that harsh", Alison tried to reason. Arieon raised a brow at her sister who gave her a knowing look.
"You guys know how I am around guys that I don't know. Especially if they are annoying", she said and they nodded.
"He's cute though", Addison said as they walked towards the table that had varieties of sweets on it. "Cute is just his face. His character says otherwise", Arieon rolled her eyes.
"If we can't have alcohol, at least we can eat sweets", Addison said before taking a huge bite out of a velvet cupcake. She let out a moan and squealed, "This tastes good".
"You'll get fat", Arieon said. She snorted, "Please let me be".
The three ladies began to ship the men and women they saw at the wedding. They were having their little fun until when Arieon's gaze landed on a tall bulky man standing at a far corner.
He was receiving a phone call but he was staring at her. The way his cold black eyes sized her up made her goosebumps rise on her skins.
"Mom just texted. She said the couples want to meet us", Alison said looking at her phone.
"Wipe your mouth" Addison told her.
"Bitch", Alison retorted and then they began to bicker. "Save your bickering for later and let's go", Arieon told them.

He watched as she kept close to her sisters as if to look for safety with them. A smile formed on his lips as he saw how observant she was.
Pure, perfect, clean and beautiful were the words to describe her.
Oh how he wanted nothing more than to taint the precious lady.
Her sisters were her saviors. She didn't even have anything or anyone to be saved from.
She was too pure and naive.
Who was he?
He was the devil.
And she's soon going to be his.
He was the one she needed saving from. He was horrible, wicked, deadly and heartless.
"Arieon", Brea said as she walked into the room. Arieon was sitting by the windowsill reading a novel. She looked up to see her mother in law standing by the door beaming with a smile. "Brea, what are you doing here by this time?", Arieon said as she closed her book. "You have to get ready", Brea said as she approached her. "Get ready for what?", Arieon frowned. Her eyes fell on the red shopping bag in her hands. Brea dropped the bag on the bed and went to pull her up on her feet."Enzo has booked the whole night for the both of you to spend together", she said as she dragged her to the bathroom. Arieon's eyes widened as she felt her cheeks get hot. She's kidding, right?. The door of the room opened and Agatha walked in, "You're still like this?". Nope, she's not kidding, Arieon sighed. "I'll take a quick bath and come out, no need to rush", she said as she walked into the bathroom.An hour later, she was dressed in a red dress that hugged her heaven blessed curves in all areas paire
Arieon sat in the sunroom as she read a novel she found on the nightstand in Enzo's room. It was a werewolf story that seemed to capture her attention and didn't make her notice when Enzo walked in. He leaned on the door frame as he admired her beauty. Her stomach was still flat but the glow in her skin was an evidence that there was a new life growing inside her. Her beautiful brown hair had grown so long that it flowed past her elbows. The way she'd pout unconsciously was driving him nuts. "Bella is stupid", she mumbled as sh was obviously upset with the main female character of the story. "You seem to forget about your surroundings", Enzo said causing her jolt out of her seat in fear. The book fell down with a loud thud while Arieon was still in shock. Enzo chuckled and walked towards her. "Sorry", he said as he bent down to pick up the book. Arieon knew he was anything but sorry. "You scared the hell out of me!", she glared at him but he just grinned at him. "The result was wor
Enzo sat in his study going through the paperwork on his desk when Antonio walked in. "Daddy?", he called. "Hmm?", Enzo looked up. "I'm hungry", the boy pouted. His father rolled his eyes but stood up nevertheless. "And what would you like to eat?", he asked. Antonio's eyes widened to the size of saucers as he happily approached his father. "Cookies", he said. "You kids need to reduce your sugar intake", Enzo said as they walked out of his study. "Why?", his son asked. "You'll get fat". Antonio scrunched his nose in disgust. "I'll never be fat", he said and Enzo chuckled. "Really?". Antonio nodded, "I want to be like you".Enzo laughed and ruffled his head, "You'll be better than me". The happily followed his father down the stairs to the kitchen. "How much cookies do you want to make?", Enzo asked him as he went to get the pans and pots from the cupboards. "A hundred!", his son exclaimed. Enzo rolled his eyes, "No problem". Alessa ran into the kitchen and saw the two of them prepari
"Mommy, school was hard today", Antonio said as he caressed his mother's hand. "Me too, mommy", Alessa added as she walked towards the bed where Arieon lay. Enzo was carrying a sleeping Andrea as he walked in. He went over to Arieon and gently placed Andrea beside her. The little boy snuggled closer to his mother as his father left him. "Daddy, why isn't mommy waking up yet?", Alessa asked with a sad pout. "She'll wake up soon", Enzo said to her as he took a seat beside Arieon. It's been three weeks since she had been unconscious but she made no effort to wake up. Her skin was no longer pale and had come back to its usual glow. Her lips were now the soft baby pink color that made Enzo want to kiss her even though she was unconscious.Enzo was getting to the point of giving up but the kids kept sparking up a light of hope in him that she'll wake up soon. "Daddy, when mommy wakes up, can we go to the park?", Antonio asked. Enzo nodded, "I promise". He nodded and continued to caress his
"She lost a lot of blood and she's barely hanging onto consciousness", the doctor told Enzo as they walked into the ward were Arieon was. "We had to induce her into coma so she and the baby will remain alive", the doctor said and Enzo's eyes widened. He stopped walking and turned to face the doctor. "I'm sorry, did you say baby?", he asked.The doctor nodded with a smile. "Congratulations are in order, Mr. Armani. I must say, your wife is really strong. Any average woman would have had a miscarriage immediately but she was able to save the baby", he said. Enzo's eyes immediately fell on Arieon's unconscious body. There were a lot of wires stuck to her skinny body and her beautiful creamy skin was now deathly pale. "I'll leave the both of you alone for now", the doctor said and walked out.Enzo slowly made his way towards Arieon fearing that his steps might wake her up. He sat down on the chair beside her and placed his hand on her smaller one which had no wire attached to it. "I'm sor
It's been a week, Arieon thought as she struggles to keep her eyes open. She slowly looked down at the ground below her chair that had a pool of blood surrounding it. She had bled from her private part throughout the night and she was so weak and tired.The door opened and Gordon walked in. "I see you're enjoying your time here", he said with a smirk. Arieon rolled her eyes tiredly at him. Go to hell!, she wanted to say but her mouth was sealed. He chuckled at her silence and walked towards her. "Cat got your tongue?", he asked her. I'll show what the cat can also catch!, she glared at him. She was too tired but him talking was making things worse for her. God, please just strike him with lightening already!, she cried out in her head. "Your hubby will soon be joining us", Gordon told her. Arieon chuckled. She knew that Enzo wouldn't come for her no matter the situation. Only if the kids wanted to see her again. Her heart clenched as her mind wandered to the kids. "Sad?", Gordon tau
