“The saddest thing about betrayal is... that it never comes from your enemies.” He says, my eyes widened and I could say the same for Vincenzo’s.We all knew where this is going.“Trust me, it doesn't. I was betrayed by my own ‘Wife' to be and my brother.” He said and people gasped. I looked over to Sophia and more importantly, my Grandparents… I felt like I could open the ground and enter. I grabbed the bouquet too tight and looked down to the floor.“Well… you want proof? There is my Little Giovanni.” He pointed at Mirabelle, holding Giovanni. Giovanni wasn't even aware that they were talking about her. She was just cooing and gurgling. “Hey! Don't judge her! I was cheating for two full years.” He says and everyone went quiet just Giovanni cooing.“Edga—” Sophia tried to talk to him but he raised his hand.“It's okay mother. Because I was cheating, My darling ‘wife' thought it will ease her pain if she get into bed with my dear brother.” Edgardo said. Vincenzo watched over his moth
“…I love you.” I felt air hit my face when Vincenzo said those words. He said them a couple times but this time it hits different. “I love you too.” I finally said the words. He kissed me and then kissed Giovanni.“Now everything makes sense.” Sophia walked over to us. I felt like I could just disappear.“I'm sorry Mom. I… I—” she didn't even let me talk.“As long as you are all happy. And I must say Edgardo is happier.” She says and we all look over to aisle. Edgardo and Claire were kissing again.“Besides… I had a clue at the hospital. ‘Do people always fall in love with what they can't have?’ Duh… Okay I'm lying. I didn't know until that day when I wanted to use your car. I found a note. A letter from Fiorellino. I didn't know who Fiorellino was until the day you visited her at the hospital when she was in a coma.” Sophia said and I smiled. So he lied that he never visited me?“Why did you keep it a secret?” “Whatever happens in the darkness will finds it's way to the light. I'm
While I thought this is the end, Edgardo came to visit us, A month later. This two are lucky, they got to have a whole month of a honeymoon.I smiled over at Vincenzo as Edgardo roamed toward us. Vincenzo already talked to Edgardo he gave us some space. Edgardo took Giovanni into his hands. He chuckled as a black curly haired Giovanni wrapped her whole little hand on His index finger, he reached down quickly and threw her up in the air.What's wrong with this Di Costa Boys? Even Vincenzo likes doing that and I hate it! They are really brothers. Ha-ha.“HEY!” I yelled and he laughed before catching her. He plopped a big kiss on her forehead and placed her in his arms."Hey baby girl," he laughed.She was busy cooeing. He made his way to me and sat down on my right. Honestly, it wasn't funny!"Not funny!” I snapped at him.“She enjoyed it!” He said as he showed me her little smile.“Now, Giovanni. When you grow old, don't bully Uncle Edgardo, because he is sensitive and might cry like a
{Leilani’s POV} We lose something to gain and gain something to lose, that's the beauty of life. Whenever a life begins, another ends. Edgardo lost his father the very moment he gained me. “Babe… everyone's waiting for you. Mom said I should tell you, it's time.” I said, He raised his face and looked at me and gave me a wan smile just to make me feel better. “Okay. Let's go say goodbye.” We got out of the limousine. We walked inside the church. “Psalm 34 verse 18, it says that The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. I must say… He is with us right now,” The priest said. “Amen.” That was everyone else's reply. I had this odd feeling. “Let Us join hands. And for that… let's thank him.” Have you ever felt like you're being watched? I didn't close my eyes when everyone prayed. I just looked at the door and saw him. He had black, long hair slightly covers a long, warm face. Sparkling amber eyes, set
“Brother… meet my Fiancée,” He said and I parted my Fiancée, Leilani. Lei—” “Leilani Reed. I know her. You done a pretty good job with the presentation. Nice to officially meet you.” I shook hands with him.Sos! Sos! Act normal. Act normal! Act Normal! Act Fucking normal! “Likewise.” I said calmly, the elevator doors opened and it was Ralph. The family's lawyer. Why is he in a hurry? “I came here ASAP.” Ralph said, What was going on? I can't even tell. “Well… let's get started shall we?” Edgardo pointed his office and we all walked to it. Edgardo then put his hand on my ass. Been a while. But as soon as Edgardo opened the door with both hands it clicked my mind that, He's not the one… it's Vincenzo. I quickly removed his hand. Luckily Ralph was next to Ed. No one saw us. I should get a protection order against this Vincenzo. I don't trust him. Edgardo walked in and I waited for Ralph to get in but Vincenzo stopped him. “Didn't they
Thud. Thud. Thud. Sounds of footsteps. “Babe?!” They heard a voice. Vincenzo smirked and leaned for a kiss and Leilani pushed him. “Hide! He's here!” She was panicking and he licked his lips as he walked to the bathroom. “Babe?” they heard footsteps approaching. “In here Love!” She yelled as she fixed herself and stood up from the bed even when her legs were vibrating. Edgardo walked in the room, holding a bouquet of red roses. “You are still in bed? What happened to y—” she didn't let him touched her. She looked away. “You? Okay, babe… I'm sorry about how I reacted yesterday." He added. “It's okay." Leilani sat on the bed. He looked at her. She scratched her skin gently, trying to ease his touch. “Let me prepare a warm shower for you.” He said, it clicked in Leilani’s mind that Vincenzo is in the bathroom. “NO!” She yells, and he looked at her confused when she grabbed his arms. “I mean… I'm okay. I will shower later. Let's go have breakfast
...She lost all sense of time. He even muttered some words in italian against her neck. “Sei fantastico, fiore mio. Ho aspettato così tanto per farlo. Sei eccitante!” {You are fantastic, my flower. I've waited so long to do it. You're hot!} And after all his body ended up emptying itself in hers. Phone Rings*Leilani opened her eyes to see she was in bed, in the middle of the night, Pant. Pant. Pant. She was breathing heavily, removing the hair from her face. Was it a dream? She looked at herself and man she wet the bed.“Oh my gosh.” She tried to catch her breath. It was 3 am. And she had a dream of messing with her brother-in-law.It was hard for her to believe it was a dream. She grabbed the phone next to her and it was Claire.“Hello?” she answered. “Oh my gosh! Kat has a tampon stuck in her cabins." First of all I don't know anyone named Kat.“Are you drunk Claire?” I don't know I have to alway
10 am, that morning.“So let me get this straight… you are not married. Why?!” Claire was busy Mocking Vincenzo.“If I answer you, you'd stop asking questions?” Vincenzo asked and Claire nodded.“Well… yes. I can do that.” Claire said.“I'm allergic to commitment.” He was busy on his laptop. “Have you ever been in love?” Claire was asking endless questions.“I thought you going to stop asking questions?” Vincenzo added.“Well… tell me.” Claire said and Leilani walked in there with some legging and a spot bra and she sat down.“I'm never drinking alcohol again.” She touched her head and Claire laughed.“You working home?” Leilani asked and Vincenzo turned to her. He examined her curvy body. Wow, he thought to himself.“No. I'm actually heading out. Was keeping your friend here company until… you wake up. Oh… drink this.” He gave her a cup of coffee. And s
