Her gaze caught the cocktail diamond rings and golden bangles. Her cheeks turned red with shyness. She lowered her gaze to hide the colors.
"We're trying," Alessandro's reply shocked her more. She felt tingles in her body.
Elizabeth smiled, "I'm baptising them,"
"Of course, grandma," Alessandro said.
"Dad is seeking for you," Matteo said, frowning.
"Be a gentleman, Matteo," Elizabeth said, smiling.
Matteo kissed her cheek, "How are you, sister-in-law?"
"Good," She smiled.
Matteo rolled his eyes at Elizabeth and held out his hand for her. Rapturously, Elizabeth wrapped her arm around his and Matteo led her to the dance floor.
"Genuinely, I didn't expect this from Elizabeth, particularly for me, she smiled at me. She di
Panic clawed her as her eyes snapped open. Her thoughts were girthed with fear that he would know that she tried to run away and worse - He'd think she tried to escape with Diego asking for his help. Her chin began to quiver. Her eyes turned glassy. She held her breath and peeked around. She let out a huge breath. Stepped out of the bed, she stumbled toward the door. Her trembling hand reached for the door, "There are guards outside," She recognized her voice. She spun and breathed out slowly, seeing Emlyn, "I'm not running. Where's Ales? I need to talk to him." She said in a groggy voice. Her grip was tightened on the doorknob. Emlyn rushed at her exasperatedly, stopping at her face, "You know what he can do to our family," she snarled. "He won't do anything," She snapped, letting go of her grip. Her knees wobbled.&n
She stumbled on her feet as she walked toward the hall. She stopped with fear and confusion. She wasn't certain it was a gunshot's sound or something heavy had just fallen. She trotted toward the hall. Her eyes widened when a strong hold grasped her and yanked her back. A hand came over her mouth, blocking her scream. Her eyes met a dark set of grey eyes, his hair was grey, the forehead was creased, but his expression was soft. She blinked, her heart pounding, she pushed the man away. He was looking like an aristocratic, noble, respected gentleman. She stopped struggling for a second. Blinking, she came out of her shock zone and pushed him away with both of her hands. Her body jolted with fear again when she heard another gunshot. She stopped struggling and looked over t
She drove a car to her usual meeting place with Emlyn. Her self-respect was bigger than anything right now. She parked the car and pulled the hood over to her face. She glanced over the shoulder to see the guards. His guards were respectful toward her but she wanted time for herself. Locking the car, she sauntered toward the door. She pushed open the door and stood as she saw Emlyn with Camila. She ungripped the handle and the door slid closed. Astonished, she whirled to pace toward the car. Her entire body was rigid and pain could be seen through her eyes. She had a glimpse of Matt looking at her from behind the tree. She must not have noticed him if she were in a cheery mood. "Barbie," Sh
Many things astounded her. There was no guard visible in the doorway. Her father should be in the hospital in case he could be injured. It was a new thing for her, she had seen this kind of love only for his real daughter. It was the second time when she had seen him smiling because of her. The first was when she agreed to marry Alessandro. She walked toward the door. She shuddered in fear when she saw all the guards holding guns, Romero was issuing the orders. "Romero," Her voice was weak, full of puzzlement, eyes wandering on their dangerous faces. "We heard a gunshot," Romero walked over to her and halted his feet in front of her. His predatory gaze roamed around her, seeking danger. "But I didn't hear anything," She said, gulping looking at his back at the tall, broad shoulders men. Romero saw at the beeline of
A chill slithered down her spine when his gaze lifted to her. She grew wary and tense as fury formed in his eyes, " I can't speak if you're giving me that look.' She said, "But you're speaking," He retorted, taking a step closer. It took everything in her not to step back. She thinned her lips not letting her anger control her mind, "I can see you already know. Like other things," She retorted back. His signature smirk flashed over his face. Her eyes widened, pupils dilated. His smirk astounded her, scared her and sent a wave of warmth at the pit of her stomach. His other step at her made her heart pound louder in her chest, "Dad caught in an accident. He needed money to settle it." She blurted. He tersely nodded his head and took out his phone again. He hovered his thumb over the screen. She kept looking over his t
She was lost deep in her thoughts. She was aware her father was noxious for her, but that was beyond her expectations, his lies to have money wasn't in her thoughts. She was so occupied that she couldn't hear the muffled tone of Emlyn. Her hand rested on her shoulder and gave a strong jerk and stared down at her with a deep scowl over her forehead. She wasn't looking happy at all. The jerk pulled her out of her thoughts but made her irk. Her head snapped up as she looked at her with a slight frown between her brows. It did not stay long when she glanced at Emlyn. "Em," She got on her feet when she looked at her. Though Emlyn was looking furious. "All this happened because of you," Emlyn said with a grunt.
She glanced down at the black and white photo with widened eyes. Her face was a perfect face of shock, "So?" Emlyn asked, gleefully. She looked at her stomach and then back at her hand, "Yeah! I don't know what to say." She gnawed on her lower lip as she blushed. Emlyn frowned, "You'll love this journey." She said, She nodded thoughtfully, "Elizabeth wants grandchildren." "Alessandro?" She asked. "He wants babies, too." She said. "You don't want this," Emlyn looked at her in surprise. She blinked, "I didn't say that." "You should. I like the way Elizabeth treats you now." Emlyn smiled and linked her arm with her.&
She stared at the message with a smile. Grabbing, she swiped to open. 'Meet me in the parking lot of your penthouse. Alone.' She stared at the message, dread rising in her body as it put her in deep thinking. 'Why does he want to meet me alone? Did father do something again? He doesn't know about Alessandro's second wedding. Did he know somehow? He won't like me to endure it without complaining. I can explain to him. He would try to understand me.' Clenching her phone, she sauntered toward the door. The guards were already on their feet. "Going for a walk." She hurried her steps toward the elevator. She didn't wait for the guards to step into the elevator. She pressed the button.
