Antonio's POV"Daddy!" An excited Alexis rushes into my arms as I twirl her around while she giggles."How is my Princess doing today?" I hand over the briefcase to Ann who is beside us with a smile."I am happy. Harley has agreed to be my mommy", she informs me immediately. "I know she will forgive me and accept you if I invite Grandma to talk to her."I raise a brow. "You invited Grandma to talk to Harley to be your new mommy?" She nods with a smile.I haven't thought of informing Mother about my decision to have Harley as a girlfriend. Everything is happening so fast and I thought they wouldn't understand. I wanted to give it time, time to grow my love for her, time to get to know each other better before telling Mother.My major focus was letting Alexis accept Harley and now that it is done, I am exhilarated. I can't believe she has made it easier by telling mother on my behalf.Since Mother didn't object, I am sure we have her support too. Mother had always loved Harley and getti
Antonio's POV"You wanted to ruin me, right?" She approaches me with a look of threat. "You are a fu**ing coward for doing that." She push me."Harley, listen to me", I try to touch her but she moves away from my hold. "Listen to me for God's sake!""Leave!""I am not leaving until you hear me out", I yell, standing my ground. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She fumes in silence before turning her back to me. I let out another deep sigh, thinking of how to sort this out. I made a huge mistake and I regret it. "I'm sorry." I only say."Sorry?" She snarls with her back to me. Silence creeps in again and I drop my briefcase on the floor and approach her.Before she can turn back, I grab her quickly. "Listen to me, Harley", we both struggle. She is struggling to get out of my hold while I am struggling to make sure she doesn't get off my hook. "Listen to me, goddammit."She is succeeding in taking my hands off her but I secure the other hand around her and we both stumble forward. Sh
Harley's POVI stir in my sleep to realize that someone is at my door. The knocking on the door is light and I am sure it is from Alexis. That is how she knocks on my door.With a smile, I get up from the bed and walk slowly to the door. I feel tired and in need of more sleep, so I rub my eyes with the back of my palm."Mommy, are you still asleep?" I hear her tiny voice before I open the door.The door opens revealing her in her pajamas which is an indication that she just got out of bed too.I really do not know whether Antonio spent the night here or not or whether he has gone to work or not.I slept soundly like a baby without any care in the world. All I know is that he was in my room last night before I fell asleep.He has replaced Jim. In every area. In all ramifications.In fact, he is a great lover. Better than Jim.I used to sleep on Jim's chest. He was my pillow and now I am doing the same with Antonio. Anytime I place my head on his chest, trailing my hands over his hairy
Antonio's POVJust for the mere pleasure of seeing Harley's pretty face, I decided to go home myself to pick up the file I forgot to bring to the office this morning.I must get the file back because I need it for the appointment I have by 2pm. Immediately after working on my morning task, I instruct Mike to drive me home.I can't wait to see Harley. I didn't sleep in her room last night because of Alexis. She is suspecting that I am sleeping there.Recently, I have been spending the night in Harley's room more than I sleep in my own room and I am gradually getting used to it.Whenever I try to sleep in my own room, I find it very hard to sleep. Sometimes, I toss and turn in bed till dawn while other Times, I toss and turn till sleep eventually overcomes me. Yesternight was one of those nights when sleep eluded me while I kept tossing continuously in dissatisfaction for not sleeping in Harley's room.She was deep asleep when I left her room last night and I doubt if she knew that I d
Antonio's POV My day didn't go as expected. I left the office in a happy mood but I went back with a dampened one. Harley ruined my mood with her difficulties. She won't let me into her room so we could talk things out and it pissed me off the most, reminding me of how we started and how she was so stubborn. I tried to get her to talk to me but she wouldn't listen. I was ready to apologize to her, even though I was still mad at her for what she did. Why is she making it look like I am wrong here? Why is she making it look like what she did is the right thing to do? How could she even let him in when all he has ever done to her was to hurt her and leave her when she needed him the most? How could she? I just can't find answers to the numerous questions. After a while, I figured it is probably because I wouldn't have done that if it was Gianna who appeared from nowhere. I would have given her such privilege if it was just a few months after she left but not now that it has been yea
Harley's POVHe left without a word and it upset me more. It takes me a lot of courage not to grab my phone to call his office line and ask him to forgive me.It didn't dawn on me early enough that what I did was wrong. I was just wondering how awkward it would be if Jim and I were left to talk outside considering what had happened between us.I shouldn't have given him my attention at all. I should have kicked him out but I couldn't because of the first word that came out of his mouth.He said he was back for me. Antonio had told me that Jim would surely realize his mistake and when he does, he would be back. I never expected him to come back, especially not now that I am already in a relationship with Antonio.I was expecting this. His homecoming. But not this way.I couldn't send him away. I couldn't let out all my pent-up anger towards myself. It was surprising to me that I was calm all through.Right now, I am so confused. I felt entitled to letting my guest come into the house
Antonio's POVI take a hold of her hair as I trace the outline of her mouth, my mouth tasting every inch of hers. She kisses me back with the same energy and she bites my lower lip slowly which gets me hard.I growl and sit up from the floor, my hands roaming her entire body, my body getting hot and seeking attention.I want her. I can't believe that just an apology from her and a kiss had dissolved all of my anger.Is this how much I love Harley? Will she ever leave me?She pulls away, leaving me breathless, my hands cupping her face. She flashes me a smile which gets my heart racing in excitement."You need some rest, Anton", she says and I nod. I need some rest. I am weak from what happened and I won't be able to have sex with her tonight. Not tonight. Probably tomorrow or some other time.Right now, all I wish for is to have her in my arms till I fall asleep and I want to wake up to see her right beside me.This is what we have always been doing. And I fear for the future. I fear
Harley's POVI begin to pace the hospital corridor when I can no longer sit calmly. My shoes are making the clicking sound on the wooden floor as I pace to and fro.This came as a surprise but the agitation I felt was more than the feeling of surprise.Antonio didn't tell me that he had visited Grandma at home and also set up an appointment for her with his doctor. Grandma didn't tell me anything even when I visited her last and we chatted till late at night.She told me she was the one who informed Jim of my location. She felt for him too and had to tell him so he could stop crying like a baby.I used to think Grandma would hate him so much for what he did but I am wrong. She doesn't hate him and she doesn't like him as she used to either.Jim had lost his chance with everyone. Grandma and I were his only family and now that he has a problem, he is back home.Grandma advised him to go back to where he came from but he insisted that he is back for me and that made me laugh.Three mont
