Mag-log inThe house was dark and quiet. No movement could be heard or seen in the entire mansion. Legs sprawled on the table, champagne in hand, a silk red robe parted to reveal her smooth glowing skin. Vicky stared into nothingness, the only registered sound in the entire house being the sound of her breathing. She barely blinked. She took the champagne glass to her lips and took a sip from it. "What are you celebrating?" A masculine voice asked as he walked down the stairs. She turned around to look at him and her thin brow arched softly, questioning what he meant. He perched next to her on the sofa and took the glass from her hand. "The champagne." She let him have the drink and smiled. "A little victory." The guy didn't know what she was talking about, but he didn't care much about it either. He wasn't paid to care about her personal life. "A little victory huh..." He muttered softly and leaned forward to place the glass of champagne on the center piece. "Did I fuck you so good tha
Cara suddenly felt like it was a whole lot easier to push the moment her husband stepped into the room. She smiled, the first time since labour had been induced. Abigail didn't waste a single second, she let go of Cara's hand and allowed Romeo to hold her. “Okay, Romeo's here. Can you push harder for me now?” Abigail said. Cara nodded. Squeezing onto her husband's hand, she pushed with all she had. It still wasn't enough. But she wasn't giving up yet. Several more tries later and she was already too weak to even lift a finger. But then she heard the healthy cries of her baby from a distance until it all faded into black. “She's out.” Abigail announced the moment Alice came out. Romeo smiled and looked at his wife. “You did it.” He whispered softly. But then he realized she was barely holding on to consciousness. Panic fell over him at once as he beaconed for Abigail. “Abby, something is wrong. Please come over here real quick, she's losing consciousness.”Abigail handed the b
The house was quiet...Romeo didn't know whether to sit down or to stand up. He couldn't decide on which one to do. The entire family had pulled up to the house, nobody could relax. Minutes after minutes and Romeo still heard nothing. He wanted to stay in the room with her but Abigail insisted they waited in the living room. She didn't allow anybody into the bedroom except the nurses she had arrived with. She claimed it was best that way because she couldn't tell what way Cara would have to give birth. "Mr Armani," one of the police officers called out to him but got no response. The officer called out again and still got nothing. Giovanni stepped forward just then. "Uhm, any question you have for him, you can ask me. We were together when it happened so I know everything."The officer looked back at Romeo, something on his face made it obvious that he still wanted to press further. Giovanni took another step towards the officer. "Please come with me," he said, hand on the man'
Romeo walked outside the house with Giovanni. They both walked towards Giovanni's car, making small talk. When they got to the car, Romeo let out a sigh and tapped Giovanni's shoulder. "I still don't get the reason you're going crazy over a one night stand but I'm going to support you now that Cara is okay with it. "Whatever happens, be sure to let me know. Don't try to do this on your own." Giovanni smiled and nodded his head. "It's a lot better when you're not threatening me and glaring at me like you want to rip off my shoulder." Romeo let out a soft laugh and ran his fingers through his hair. "What can I say? Cara means the world to me. Actually, she's my world and I can't stand the sight of anything or anyone hurting her. I'd defy anyone to make her happy and keep her safe." Surprise flickered across Giovanni's face. For a second, it was like he was staring at an entirely different person. Romeo was never the playboy type, in fact, Giovanni wasn't sure he ever dated si
Giovanni threw his hands in the air like he was admitting defeat. There was a playful smile to his face but Cara could see clearly that the smile didn't reach his eyes. There was visible tension in them. The second Romeo walked out of the room, Giovanni seemed to visibly relax. He brought a calmer smile to his face and cleared his throat. “Mrs Armani, I'm so sorry I couldn't visit you any earlier. I heard what happened only a while ago though, but I would have come sooner if it wasn't for my father.” Cara's brows creased softly. “Did something happen to your father?” “No, he's fine. He just needed my help with some things back in Asia. Romeo claimed he didn't want to disturb me, that's why he didn't tell me earlier. Are you okay now?” Cara smiled and nodded her head. “Apart from the usual pains I should feel normally from time to time, I'm fine. But I'm also not fine, honestly, being locked up in here is hurting me mentally and I just want out!” She groaned. Giovanni couldn't he
Cara woke up to the sound of voices around. Opening her eyes, the first face she saw was her husband's, looking just as worried and anxious as Cara was feeling. Standing just a few feet away from him was Abigail. She was engrossed in a conversation with a man putting on a white coat. "Cara, can you hear me?" Romeo asked, taking her hands in his and squeezing it softly. She nodded her head softly, everything still somehow felt like a dream to her and she wanted to be sure that she had woken up. His voice called the attention of Abigail and the man towards her and they rushed over. .Unlike Abigail, the man didn't touch Cara but it seemed he had already done a full evaluation from just looking at her.Opening her eyes fully, only then did she realize that there were more people in the room. Tori sat on the other side of her and Miranda sat beside her. Their eyes were fixed on Cara and she could feel the worry in them just by meeting their eyes. "Okay, I'm going to need you to tell
“Did you hear? The hitman, your friend's ex boyfriend right? He's been sentenced to twenty years in prison.” Romeo said to Cara. He waited for a response but didn't get any. When he stared closely at her, he realised that she was there but her mind was elsewhere. He placed a hand on hers as he ca
As she had all of their attention in the grasp of her hand, she took out her phone and played a recording. Murmurs immediately filled the hall at what they heard. It was none other than Sarah Knowles, begging Jessica not to let her secret be known that Chris was not the son of his father and that
Cara was filled with a sense of responsibility all of a sudden. Her father had trusted her enough to hand over his company to her and she would make sure not to let him down!She stopped and turned around to say goodbye to her family once more. Her step mother, Miranda took her hands in hers. “Are yo
Chris’ eyes widened. “What? What nonsense are you spilling from your mouth?”Jessica snorted a laugh. “You might be an Armani but Mr Michael Knowles is Chris’ dad and who do you think he will listen to? A stranger or his own son?”“We'll have to find out, won't we?” Romeo's brow arched. His lips curve
