MasukTalia’s POV “You can open your eyes now, ma'am,” The makeup artist, Giselle, uttered, “I'm done.”Fluttering my eyes open, I gasped as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.Giselle had truly overdone herself, and I had no regret trusting her with my wedding makeup.She had done exactly what I wanted, an elegant yet timeless look.“Well, what do you think?” Kimberly asked, standing up from the bed, “Do you like it?”“I don't like it,” I said, and both Giselle and Kimberly's faces fell, causing me to feel bad, “Don't look sad now. I was going to say I love it.”Giving me a relieved smile, Giselle replied, “I'm glad to hear that, ma'am. I'm going out for breakfast, but please don't hesitate to call me if you need my help.”“Alright, Giselle,” I replied, to which she nodded, before taking her leave.“So you will really become a wife today, huh?” Kimberly asked, sitting on the stool beside me, “I mean, I know it's happening, but I just can't help but think about how surreal this is.”“
Niccolo’s POV “Baby, are you asleep?” I asked, looking to my side to see Talia, whose eyes were still open and alert.“I don't think so,” She replied, a hint of taunt to her voice.Huffing fondly, I wrapped my arms tighter around her and kissed her forehead.I'd thought she was asleep as she wasn't telling me about the characters in the movie that was currently playing on TV, like she always did.Also, I was looking for something else to be focused on, so as to hide my nervousness from her, because I was proposing today.It had been three years after Talia graduated college, and she now worked as a head researcher at the New York institute of research.Honestly, I couldn't be more proud of her and achievement.Sure, there had been several ups and downs in our relationship during the past three years, but our love for each other had made those issues extremely fickle.Most especially since we didn't live together anymore.Talia had rented an apartment beside her workplace, as it would
Talia’s POV “Congratulations, Miss Wilson,” The dean of the university, Mr William Freeman, uttered, as we shook hands, before handing me my certificate.“Thank you, sir,” I replied, then walked back down to the podium to sit with the other graduates.It had been a year since the whole poisoning event, and looking back at it, it all seemed so unreal.Like Ivy had really considered me unworthy of living, just because Niccolo had left her, to date me.As though she hadn't cheated on him in the first place.Ivy was still yet to be sentenced, as she'd slipped into a coma that day, after fainting in the courtroom.Further investigation had revealed that she'd taped a patch on herself, the same poisonous one that she'd given Lexie to use on me.She had decided killing herself was better than going to jail.On the other hand, both Lexie and Erik had been sentenced to fifteen and twenty five years respectively.Anyway, I wasn't going to dwell on the horrible things that'd happened to me in t
Niccolo’s POV “Baby, are you okay?” I asked Talia, as the car came to a halt in front of the court building.Looking away from the window, she gave me a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, “Yes, I am.”Deciding against pointing out that her hands were trembling and she seemed jittery, I nodded, placing my hand over hers, “Alright, baby. Let's go in.”Thereafter, my driver, Chris, opened the door, and we headed out of the car.Heaving a huge sigh, Talia pursed her lips into a thin line, a grimace mauling her face.She was clearly so nervous.“If you are not up to it, I could tell Chris to take you back home,” I suggested, “I will be sure to relay everything that happens to you or better still, I could facetime you as soon as the hearing starts.”“No,” Talia shook her head in negation, “You don't have to do that. I'm fine.”“Okay, baby,” I said, before we stepped into the courtroom, just as the judge stepped into her cubicle.“Court!” The court clerk yelled, and everyone stood up f
Talia’s POV A sultry smile spread across my lips as I stared at my reflection in the mirror, satisfied.Clad in a red trenchcoat with nothing underneath and a pair of black thigh high boots, I looked every bit like a seductress in an erotic movie.I had also forgone my usual nude lipstick for a bright red lip gloss that glistened in the mirror, just the way I wanted.My smokey eye look paired with the way my auburn hair fell in soft, round curls, brought everything together like icing on cake.Niccolo was really going to be stunned.Running my hands down my hips, I inhaled sharply before making my way out of the bathroom.It was a weekend, so Niccolo didn't have work, however, he'd been working on some files in his study since the day began.Although we had both initially agreed to have our sex date later that week, I had woken up today and changed my mind.I wanted Niccolo to drill me as soon as possible..Making my way to his study, I smiled to myself, my pussy throbbing with sensu
Talia’s POV “Have you decided on what to have for breakfast?” Niccolo asked, as he handed me a glass of cold water.I had now spent three weeks in the hospital and for an inexplicable reason, I'd been craving cold water from the moment I woke up.In the last thirty minutes, I'd downed three glasses of water, which made me wonder if I'd unknowingly gone on a hike in my dream, because there was no other way to explain the sudden craving.“I will just have instant noodles,” I replied, before gulping a copious amount of water then letting out a huge, satisfied sigh, “Cold water has never tasted this good “Smiling, Niccolo shook his head in fond amusement before pressing a chaste kiss to my lips.Taking his seat on the chair beside my bed, he uttered, “We should go on a date when this is over. To you know, unwind and just be happy.”“I am happy,” I replied, “You are here with me and that's all that matters.”Grabbing my hands, Niccolo kissed my palms, “There's no place in the world that
