"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
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
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
"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 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 wi
"Please reduce her intake of sugar and salt. She needs to take it easy on the number of sweets she eats", Arieon told the woman who had a girl on her lap."Will she be okay?", The worried woman asked as she looked down at her five year old daughter. Little Lilith had a heart stroke and it was a mighty battle of wills before they could revive her.Arieon smiled warmly at the woman, "She's a strong little girl. She'll be fine". After prescribing drugs to her, they bid their goodbyes. Arieon's phone began to ring. She looked at the caller and frowned.Her father was calling her.He rarely called her so why was he calling her now?"Yes, dad?", She picked up. There was a shuffling in the background. "Sweetheart, how are you feeling?", He asked. "I'm fine, thank you. May I ask why you called?", She asked with a frown."I just wanted to hear your voice, darling. I miss my girls so I decided to hear the youngest first", he said with a small laugh."Okay", she said still not convinced but bru
Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves at the triplets' birthday party. Their parents hosted a large birthday party in their grand mansion. Many people were invited from far and near to come and celebrate with the De Mevius."Where's Alison?", Addison asked her younger sister. She shrugged, "Maybe kissing Dylan". Addison cringed at the image of her sister kissing and immediately shunned the image."Don't give me creeps", she told Arieon who laughed at her. "Your expression was priceless", she said."Any suitors?", Addison asked. Arieon rolled her eyes, "I told them I'm not interested". "I'll not be surprised if you married at the age of seventy", Addison shook her head at her sister. Arieon glared at her, "Don't be surprised if I got married before you". Addison cocked an eyebrow, "Is that a challenge?". "I think it is", Arieon pipped. With a laugh, the two sister shook their heads and began to search for their sister to complete their trio.Feeling a burning stare at her back, Ar
He watched as she slept peacefully on the sofa. They were flying back to Italy so he could check on one of the warehouses. He wasn't the type to see woman cry. Damn, if his sister would shed a tear he'd wreck havoc in the nations of the world. He wasn't the one to feel guilty but then he felt it. It wasn't his decision to have her. It was his father's. Unlike his father, he didn't want to settle down for anyone knowing they'll be his weakness. Vincenzo Armani had no weaknesses. The name alone was enough to get one shaking in his or her shoes. He hoped that she wasn't a bad choice. Arieon opened her eyes slowing to see a man staring at her. Groggily, she rubbed her eyes and sat up straight. She tried to move her neck but whimpered when a pain shot through it. "Shit", she cursed as she raised her hand to massage it. "I'm guessing your neck is stiff", the man said making her look up. She winced when her neck hurt. "Allow me", he stood up and walked over to her. Her breath seized w
