LAURAMy eyes fluttered open as I awoke from a deep sleep.Where was I? In heaven?I was disoriented and confused, unsure of where I was or how I had gotten there. I looked around and saw that I was in a hospital room, with machines beeping around me and a heart monitor showing my vitals. I remembered giving my life up for Matteo and then the last thing I saw was Matteo shooting Luca before I fell into total darkness.My Matteo! Was he fine? All I prayed for was that my sacrifice wouldn't be in vain.A nurse was checking my blood pressure and pulse, and a doctor was hovering nearby."Welcome back," the doctor said, with a smile. "How are you feeling?" I didn't know what to say.I tried to piece together what had happened, but everything was a blur. I didn't even know how I had gotten to the hospital."The gunshot had put you in a coma and you've been in a coma for the past few weeks." I felt a pressing touch on my free hand and when I turned, I saw it was Matteo still by my side. Tha
LAURAMaria embraced me in a tight hug, I could see the pain in her eyes, but she wasn't as sad as I was. Trust me"Ma'am Laura, I'm so sorry." She said but right now I didn't want anyone to talk about the child or anything. "What's your name please."' I said to the nurse who smiled at me, I hadn't even noticed how she looked, she had mousy brown hair tied up in a low ponytail and matching brown eyes that looked as if she was tired from shift after shift, her face was oblong and her pink lips thinned."Sarah." She said comfortably. She had a weird smile on her face. I guess she was uncomfortable, no one wants to be around a woman who lost her child.Matteo stood at the edge of the door with his always observant eyes, but I was seeing sincere sorrow in his eyes for the third time this month. First, when I was rescued and John Paul was confirmed dead, second was at John Paul's burial and third and last was when I woke up and our child was confirmed dead. A child I never knew I was havi
LAURA Waking up with Matteo on the bed felt great. I had recovered and sadly Sarah had gone back, I secretly missed her and wished for her presence.Matteo's hands were roaming around my body but I pretended to be asleep, the same way that I pretended to not see his hard on."I know you're awake Laura." He whispered seductively as his hands skimmed through my breast, thrusting the nipples, I felt his hot breath at the side of my neck, his other hand was on my stomach, moving down to my privates."Wake up Laura." He said yet again, my heart beat was high, and I felt a wave of heat down there.I hadn't had sex for a while, okay in a week, maybe a week wasn't too long but for Matteo and it felt like a century.Matteo didn't hesitate to kiss me on my neck, sucking and licking the right spot, I mistakenly let out a rogue moan. I felt Matteo smile on my neck."I knew it." He flipped me over and kissed me like he hadn't kissed me for a while. "Got me." I said between kisses.Matteo's hands
LAURABelieve it or not, this ex stripper was having an engagement party. And it was a fucking grand event. I didn't have the slightest idea on how to plan an engagement party, but Matteo helped me all the way.I touched the ring on my finger and a smile crept on my face.I had insisted that Maria would be part of the ceremony, not as a help but as my chief and only bridesmaid.I was getting emotional as I looked at myself in the mirror. Imagining if I were crying for my engagement party, what I would do for my main wedding.But who knew emerald green was my color? I honestly didn't. Denero was indeed a fashion genius.He had dress up Maria and I really nicely, my dress was an intricate piece, emerald green with thousand of emeralds adorning it, of course it was a mermaid style with a tight full corset, it had loose spaghetti straps and a heart shaped cleavage. What I loved about the dress was the way it made my waist nonexistent.The snatch looked so unnatural.The dress he got Maria
LAURADenero's shop smelled different today. I was overly excited to enter, after all I was going to pick my wedding dress.This week has been madly hectic, from picking colors to writing and sending out envelopes, to picking up the menu and other things.It was an Italian wedding, so everything had to be grand.There was a kind of stress that I enjoyed and this was it, Matteo was an excellent help, he was so invested in everything we were doing. Initially, I thought he wouldn't really care about wedding preparations but that wasn't the case, Matteo wanted to know every little thing, like the difference between sea green and teal.But I didn't want Matteo anywhere involved in the dress picking, he said that traditions can go to hell but I insisted otherwise. "So many dresses." Maria said as she ran into Denros' store ogling at the pretty wedding dresses he laid out.Maria dragged me to the dress rack, screaming as she touched the A1 quality dresses. Denero smiled, he always liked it
LAURAThe moment I slipped into my wedding dress, I felt a sense of nostalgia wash over me. I think I've over stressed the fact that I never thought I was going to get married, but here I was."Don't cry now." Maria said wiping the makeup off my face with a wiper, she was careful enough not to ruin my makeup.I looked beautiful and the thought of it made me cry. I wonder what Matteo was feeling right now, I was hundred percent sure he wasn't crying but I wanted to know what he was feeling.The dress fit me perfectly, and I could feel the weight of the material. It was the main reason I didn't want to choose a ball dress, but I had to reduce my diet for a week so I could be able to fit into this dress. For some strange reason, I kept adding weight.I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror. I felt like a princess, princess Ariel and I knew that today was going to be the best day of my life. The dress acted like a second skin clinging to my flesh as if it was clinging for
LAURAAfter a series of pointless questions, I was allowed to leave. I had seen that Matteo was alright and I guess it reduced my tension.I had imagined our wedding night, we would bang from dusk till dawn, but I guess karma had other plans. I was alone on our bed crying my eyes out."It had to be on our wedding day." I said between sobs, soon after the door opened revealing Maria, she came with a tray of food, but I didn't have any appetite. All I wanted was for Matteo to be by my side. "You haven't eaten all day." She said as she dropped the tray, the aroma was nice but I didn't want to eat. "The boss won't like it if you don't eat, he asked Viktor to take care of you, and Viktor asked me to make sure you ate." I shook my head.Though crying will not bring Matteo back I just couldn't control my emotions today.Maria brought a spoon of whatever was on the plate to my mouth, when I tasted it, the fish didn't sit well with my stomach and I immediately ran to the toilet to empty out m
LAURA"Here," he said, pressing the passport into my hands. "This is our ticket to a new life. We can be whoever we want to be."I looked down at the passport, my heart racing. It had my picture but with brunette hair, but with a different name and date of birth, it held the name, Lacey Vincent's.It held new possibilities for me, to start a new life especially for the child inside me, he or she wouldn't know violence or wars. It was more than perfect.But how did he do this in less than twenty four hours? In recent times, I had learnt to not doubt Matteo, the man has his ways.Lacey sounds like a typical American name, someone who spends her fourth of June watching fireworks not dancing in a club. Lacey sounded like someone who probably was a virgin and had never been kidnapped or lost a baby before.I touched the passport and it looked authentic, Matteo gave me another one and it showed him, with a name, Marcus Kings. His picture had shorter hair and a look that didn't exude the dar
