Love in the Storm Epilogue
OrianaThe pregnancy flew by. Yes, I few times I threatened to kill Gio, especially during labour. It was a good thing that I wasn’t’ allowed my gun in the hospital.On 12th July as 11:52 PM, Antonia was born, weighing 9 pound 4 ounces. I didn’t pay much attention during my scans, especially after I was told that everything looked good, development was good etc. So, it was a bit of a shock when Farid was born less than a minute after Antonia, weighing 8 pound 12 ounces. Both had jet black hair. Antonia had ocean blue eyes and Farid had chocolate brown eyes. Antonia was instantly daddy’s little princess. He vowed that he would protect her until his last breath.“My little prince. I vow to protect you from all the false beauties and to guide you on this road they call life. In return, I ask that you watch over your sister, no matter how annoying she may be,” he gurgled. I smiled. “I take that as your acceptance to our little deal,” I said, placing a kiss on his head.“Thank you, m
Love in the Storm Chapter 1
OrianaThe rain beat down around me mixing with the tears that were streaming down my face.Who was he? He was definitely not the man that I was planning to marry 3 days from now.My name is Oriana. A 23 year old nobody from Miami. I moved to England before my parents died and that’s when I met Jaime. He was also from Miami. He was the perfect guy, was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to, compassionate and kind. Before he proposed, our life together was magical. He would take me out on dates, meet me after work with flowers, showered me with gifts and generally made me feel like I was the most important person in the world a princess. After popping the question with the most beautiful princess cut ring may I add, things started to go down hill. I was just too wrapped up with work and wedding planning that I didn’t see the signs of the person he was becoming.He became very insecure thinking that I was going to run off with every guy I spoke to or who spoke to me.
Love in the Storm Chapter 2
Lileth guided me to what looked like a downstairs bedroom, complete with ensuite. As i tried to remove my t-shirt, i winced in pain. Lileth noticed and came over to help me. “What on earth happened to you? Who could do such a thing?” her eyes filled with tears. She helped me put on a robe so that I didn’t cause myself anymore pain but it was easier said than done. My jeans were stuck to my legs so Lileth helped me to remove them. She looked at me with concern in her eyes and I nodded answering her silent question. “Sit down on the bed, dear. Let me help you out of these,” I did as she asked. Every movement I made caused me to wince in pain. “Now, the bathroom is straight through that door should you need it.” ‘KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.’ She turned to answer the door. “Lileth.” “Doc Richards. Please do come in,” the doctor looked scarily buff. He looked more like a butcher than a doctor. Panic started to creep in. “It’s OK, dear. I am here with you. The doc just needs to assess your in
Love in the Storm Chapter 3
The bright sunlight shining through the windows woke me up. I groaned internally thinking surely it has only been an hour or two since I went to bed. Whatever pain meds the doctor gave me were amazing. I had just managed to sit up and swing my legs over the side of the bed when there was a knock on the door before it opened and Lileth’s head popped around the side of it. “Good morning, dear. How are you feeling today?” “A bit sore, ouch!” I placed my hand to my cheek to find it a bit more tender than I had expected. The skin that was cut had some paper stitches on it and it felt so tight. “The bruising has come out a bit more on your face. Although there were no facial bones broken, the bruising and swelling can feel just as bad,” she sighed. “What happened to you? Karma’s a dish best served cold. He will get what he deserves.” I couldn’t help but giggle as I thought that she was going to say something else. I have heard that ‘karma’s a bitch,’ but that was a new one on me. “Let’s

“The guy you are with, scratch that, were with, he worked for your father in the kidnapping and trafficking circuit.” Gio said as he stood in the doorway with his arms folded across his chest. I could no longer control the tears streaming down my face. My life was so fucked up. Antonio scooted over so that he was closer to me, extended his arm and pulled me in close to him. My head rested on his chest as he gently rubbed circles on my back as I let it all out. All the anger, the pain from losing my family, going through life alone in the system, the abuse, everything. I didn’t know where I was going in life, I had no purpose. I didn’t realise how exhausted I was until I fell asleep in Antonio’s arms. “You’re worthless! Nothing without me! You’re a lazy, good for nothing bitch, not even a good fuck!” His words played over and over in my mind as well as the images of him kicking me in the ribs after he knocked me to the floor in the kitchen. “Ana! Wake up, please wake up. Listen to th
Love in the Storm Chapter 5
Jaime‘SMASH!’ ‘BANG!’ “Ana?!” Where the fuck is she? She knows better than to leave the apartment. I have warned her time and time again. Maybe the beating I gave her last night wasn’t hard enough. Just can’t kill the bitch yet, not until after the wedding. I continued to search for her, slamming doors as I went through it like a tornado in a trailer park. I shouted for her to make herself known to me. I tried calling her phone, but it went directly to voicemail. “Fucking ungrateful bitch. After everything I have done for her, she goes and takes what belongs to me,” I growled. That money will be mine. I just need her to go through with the wedding, which should be taking place in 3 days. I may need some help if I can’t find her today. One thing’s for sure, she’s going to regret the choice she made to run away from me.‘Knock! Knock! Knock!’ Happy days, maybe it’s someone bringing back my property. I walked towards the door with a spring in my step, grabbing my wallet from the count
Love in the Storm Chapter 6
GioTaking out the trash always made me hungry and right now, I was famished. I don’t normally get my hands dirty for a woman but, for her, I would do anything. She just doesn’t know it yet. I walked into the kitchen to find Toni sitting and talking to Ana as they ate. I wish I could walk up to her and hug her. Maybe it would make me feel better after the couple of days that I have had. I walked past the kitchen and headed to the stairs leading to my room so that I could shower and change.“How did it go?” as soon as I put my foot on the first step.“He won’t be bothering her any time soon. I would like for her to move in here. This is her home. Take a team to move her out of that apartment ASAP.”“Will do, boss. Thanks for everything,” I nodded and continued up the stairs.I stood under the spray of the hot water letting it sooth my aching muscles and rinse the blood off of my skin. I didn’t kill him. As much as I wanted to, I will leave that for Oriana when she is ready. Just
