Erica totally loved Aurelio’s idea. Why won’t she agree to it.
Her so called parents deserve to pass out and not even wake up again.
Slowly a side smile appeared on her face as she let her phone down.
Yes she wants her parents to come and see the new her.
She wants them to see the daughter they had rejected but still why does she feels somehow else from within.
“What’s the problem love?” Aurelio asked her noticing her facial expression had dropped.
Erica faked a smile at him and shook her head “It’s nothing.. thank you..” she replied but Aurelio rolled his eyes and pulled her closer to himself after taking a deep breath.
“I know you’re faking that smile with me, you should not do such whenever you are with me honey. Tell me, what’s the feeling?” he asked her and she sighed heavily
“I really don’t know what they saw or heard but they are not ashamed of themselves, I really feel my mom and dad aren’t coming to make things alright” she replied and Aurelio sighed.
He slowly wrapped his hands around her waist and sat her down on his lap.
Erica turned to him immediately with her eyes wide, she thinks this would be the first time he would sit her down on his lap.
She turned to him immediately with a questioning look on her face, he could read her facial expression and smiled.
A hand was encircled around her waist and the other slowly went up to her cheeks as he cupped her cheeks in his hands and looked down at her lips.
“Honey, no matter what they are coming to do. Just be you, give them what you have in your mind and don’t withhold any back. I know my mom would be there too, even if my Dad won’t be, grandpa should be” he replied and Erica shook her head
“I am already feeling embarrassed” she replied
“I know and believe me I understand, but still it’s good they are coming.. we will get to know and hear what they have to say, even if it turns out to be stupid. All I know is that you are not under them again but my family” he replied sweetly to her and slowly a side smile appeared on her face.
“What did I do to deserve you?” Erica muttered lowly as she crossed her hands around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.
Aurelio’s hands slowly and sweetly moved on her back.
Her eyes slowly went close, she felt comfort immediately.
There was someone to give her the hug she wanted at the moment.
After few minutes of staying in his hands, Aurelio pulled away and pulled her hair behind her ears softly.
His finger tips moved slowly on her face and that was more than enough to give her goosebumps.
Erica’s eyes were slowly closed, every of his touch always sends her to Dreamworld.
Aurelio could tell he was having effect on her and then he leaned forward to her “I will inform my mom to head home now, so we should be home in less than an hour don’t you think?” he asked her.
Immediately she opened her eyes, that wasn’t what she was expecting a bit.
Not that!
She thought he would kiss her or something but instead, he brought up her parents topic.
Erica said nothing but to look at his lips, more than a million thoughts already came rushing in to her head.
She could tell the way her body was feeling.
She was beginning to crave Aurelio’s lips.
“But still, I can’t and won’t let you leave the company without doing something I’ve been wanting to do today” Aurelio said as he wrapped his hand around her neck and pulled her slowly to his face.
It was just few Inches space away, their face were so close but they had done nothing.
Erica looked down at his lips and didn’t wait for him to kiss her, she did herself.
A smile slowly appeared on Aurelio’s face. He pulled Erica more closely to himself so he could kiss his fiancée very well.
She did same too by pulling him more close by his collar as she slowly deepens the kiss.
Meanwhile, Mr James, his wife and his daughter had already dressed up to leave their house.
Jemma just left her room in a short pink flowery gown on a white sneakers.
“Mom! Dad! Do you have to be late???” she yelled aloud.
Why would her parents delay this time around.
She sighed heavily and went to reach for her phone on the glass table and before she turned around, her parents were downstairs already.
“Oh there baby, you’re all good to go”
Her mom said to her as she walked to her and held her by her shoulders to smile at her
“What are you looking at mom?” Jemma asked her mom raising her brows at her.
“I don’t want you to look ugly or shabby in any way, you can imagine the type of mansion we are stepping into”
Her mom said to her with a broad smile on her face.
“Eh eh, it’s enough. We should just go see her first Mrs James.” Mr James said to his wife and left the house with his daughter.
MEANWHILE, AT AURELIO’S MANSION.
The car pulled to a halt in the car garage.
Erica had just finished talking to Aurelio about the car grandpa gave her, her reaction to it and all.
Aurelio was the one that drove the car home, since it was Erica’s car, he wanted to drive his fiancée in her own car since she doesn’t know how to drive a car yet.
Erica happily stepped out of her car as Aurelio did same too.
He didn’t take eyes off her a bit, right from when he stepped out of the car, he had his eyes on her with a smile on his face.
Erica raised her head up to look at him and then she noticed he wasn’t just smiling at her, he had been looking at her.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” she laughed lowly.
“it is not like I am leaving or something!” she laughed as she shook her head and closed the doors happily.
Aurelio already locked the doors with the car remote and walked to her holding her by her arm..
He went into the mansion with Erica by his side, not wanting to let her go.
Minutes later.
Mr James and his family had already arrived at the exact address Erica sent to him.
He pulled his car to a halt before the mansion. His wife, Mrs. James could not stop gawking at what she was seeing before her.
Jemma on the other hand stepped out of the car without hesitation.
The security guys by the gates spotted them and walked to them.
Erica had been in the room with Aurelio laying on his chest while he kept stroking her arms softly and sweetly.
“When do you think we should go see a doctor honey?” he asked her whispering into her ears.
She giggled lowly and raised her head to look at him “Baby, you know it’s still few weeks from now, it’s still too early to see a doctor. I am okay..” Erica replied simply with a shrug and laid back on his chest
“I know you are okay, why won’t you be okay? You have me too so you should be okay” he replied and she rolled her eyes laughing lowly.
Before Aurelio could open his mouth to talk again, he heard a knock on the door.
Erica sat up gently and Aurelio sighed heavily, he was clearly mad to hear a knock.
“And who is it?” he replied
“It’s Natasha Sir, a family is here and they request to see you sir with your woman” she replied and Erica chuckled lowly at her last statement.
’your woman'
Aurelio smiled at her and sighed “All right thank you, we’ll be down soon” he replied and tiredly turned to Erica.
“I guess they are here already” he said to her and then she walked down the bed to arrange her hair more properly.
Aurelio dressed up more properly with Erica and as soon as they were done, he left the room with her holding her left hand in his.
Jemma was seated on a very comfy chair in the living room, she hasn’t stopped looking around the living room.
It was massive and filled with expensive stuffs.
“Is Erica trying to say she’s been staying here and had the guts to say nothing about it to us?” her mom said lowly.
“what are you expecting? That she opens up to you immediately?” her husband scoffed at her.
Before Jemma said her next word, she turned to the stairs and could see Erica was really the one.
She was walking down the stairs with Aurelio Bertram really by her side and not just that, the both of them were engrossed in a conversation and then she looked at Erica’s finger to see she was really wearing such an expensive engagement ring on..
Erica took her eyes off Aurelio’s eyes, just as she turned away
The first eyes she met was that of her mother.
“Erica?!” her mom gasped as she stood up from the chair immediately she saw her.
Erica had something she hasn’t done for years now.. She had an eye contact with her Mom.
“My dear daughter” Mrs. James said as she opened her hands wide for a hug from Erica.
“Your dear what?” Erica asked her.
Aryan was seated on his hospital bed, He finally woke up and his father had just left the ward to get something cold form him to eat.
His father had told him about all of what happened that night and it just makes Aryan angrier the more at everyone that has to do with the Bertram’s families.
He looked straight at the mirror before him and could see the bandages he had around his head .
His wounds were beginning to hurt him just as a result of thinking
“Aurelio Bertram, don’t think you’ve had the last laugh”
“You know me, I am Aryan Khan, and I will stop at nothing to pull you down” he growled at the mirror as he stared at his face that was already Disguised.
It was just then he thought of what his father was telling him about what the doctor said about his condition some times ago.
“I, Aryan Khan will not give up, I will make sure non of your family stands, even to the little ones and the ones in the belly, none of you will ever survive” he seethed
“Just wait for my return Aurelio” he laughed lowly
“Wait for me, once I leave this hospital. I am coming for you and your family” he added and after few seconds, a knock was heard on the door.
The door went open as a doctor stepped in with a nurse and his father.
“You are discharged”
Mr Bertram with his wife and the rest of his men. They had killed every of Aryan's men. The house looked very scattered, dead bodies everywhere. “I need to see my son now" Mrs Bertram said as she turned around to make her way back to the room she left.And just as she was few meters away, she Heard another gunshot coming in from the room.“Nooo!!!" Mr Maynard yelled out.She felt her heart skip a beat, Mr Bertram ran into the room immediately and saw Aurelio on the ground, bleeding…Aryan was on the ground with a side weak smile.“You bastard!!" He yelled and took out his gun to shoot Aryan countless times till he got tired of firing bullet at him.He ran to Aurelio and crouched beside him, “What the! It's just my leg dad" Aurelio replied groaning and laughing at the same time.His dad pulled off his shirt and tied it around his leg “And so?" He replied“We need to get you out of here" his mom replied and then Aurelio was carried out of the room down the hallway to the car.The rest
Aurelio was stopped outside by two of Aryan's men.Just those two standing by the entrance, “He wants to see me" Aurelio rolled his eyes standing alone outside.He has no doubt about his grandpa plan, it will definitely work out.One of them called Aryan on the phone and after their short conversation, Aurelio heard Aryan say “Bring him in" he replied and ended the call. “Raise your hands up" he ordered Aurelio so he could search him.He rolled his eyes with a sigh and raised his hands both in the air.The guy standing before him started by touching his chest and sides then down to his waist.Aurelio raised his two fingers in the air, giving signal to one of his men with sniper.Immediately he touched his pocket and felt there was a gun there, Aurelio sent his fingers forward and stepped back allowing the sniper guy to do his job.Immediately he pulled the trigger straight at his head, his other colleague was about to take out his gun to shoot Aurelio but Aurelio was so Swift to take
Aryan had been tampering with his family years back and even until the present day.He took away Aurelio's grandma, hurt every member of his family and now he has his mom.Aurelio will never allow him take away the woman that brought him into this world.Erica hands slowly slid down his chest, she was also taken aback by what Aryan had just said.Is it her Lola?“You heard me right? You think I was dumb by keeping quiet all those time?" Aryan scoffed.Erica then slid herself down Aurelio's body, now wasn't the right time for her to be romantic.“You bastard, you think I'll fall for you games?" Aurelio asked him and Aryan laughed.“Do you think this is joke? Hear her yourself!' Aryan yelled at him and just few seconds later, Aurelio heard his mom voice from the other end.“Aurelio, don't listen to him. I'll be fine!!" She hurriedly said before Aryan pulled her away by her hair.She screamed aloud because of the pain, “you bastard!" She yelled back at him and just then Aurelio heard
Erica covered her ears with both of her hands. Her eyes were tightly shut close.She really don't know what to do now..get up and run?Where did the gun shot come from?She smwas about to open her eyes and then she heard another gunshot “Ah!!" She screamed again.“Erica!!" Rowan called out and she dropped her hands down from her ears as she opened her eyes and saw him standing by the door with a pistol gun in his hands.He ran to her immediately and stretched his hands out at her as he pulled her up.“R-r-rowan" she stuttered“You're safe now, I'm here" he replied“Where is Aurelio?" She asked him as she looked down at the ground.Her body was still shaking..“I'm not sure he knows of what is happening now, I'm really sorry I came in late" he apologized“A maid ran to tell me she heard your scream and a gunshot" he continued and she nodded her head.“How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked immediately as he checked up on her“No, I'm not.. except that my hands are covered in blo
This rare kind of Joy filled the atmosphere. Aurelio doesn't know if he has ever been this happy.Erica has brought him Joy, and not just him but his family too.“Ohhh my dear! I am gonna be a grandma of twins" Mrs Bertram squealed happily.“Oh dear Erica, you've brought me happiness, this kind of happiness I've been searching for" she said already breaking down into tears.Erica left her seat and went to her as she crossed her hand around her shoulder.“Lola, you shouldn't cry" she said lowly to her"I am just so Happy dearie, how can I pay you” she asked Erica" What? Of course not..I should be the one to ask you that Lola, I am so happy I have you now” Erica said to her and pulled her to a hug.Aurelio was still smiling at the result in his hands, his mind wasn't with Erica or his Mom.Mr Bertram was also looking at the photo." Great news! I am gonna be a great grandfather of twins, can't wait to see my great grandkids” Mr Maynard replied happily." Thus really calls for celebrati
Few weeks LaterAurelio was dressed up in a grey suit and a white long sleeve shirt. He's up again, another beautiful morning.He's got a lot of plan for the day, “Aren't you gonna eat something before leaving?" Erica asked him from behind.He took his last step down the stairs after planting a kiss on her neck.“Neck kisses early in the morning honey?“ " Is there anything wrong with that?“ He replied with a side smile" It's just.. I felt... Uhmm, don't worry “she replied. Aurelio laughed lowly.He understood what she meant.Neck kisses are really one to spice up that moment, and for Erica, she gets turned on after getting lot of kisses on her neck.“I can eat you instead" he replied and walked back to her as he wrapped his hands around her neck and lowered his face to hers to kiss her lips.Erica sucked from his lips gently, her eyes slowly went closed as she moved her lips in perfect synchronization with his.“You should have breakfast then leave for work honey" Erica said to him
One big opportunity Aurelio can't afford to miss, he has no idea of what has taken Erica his beloved.But still, he loves her, or should he say the new Erica?A side smile appeared on his face the moment Erica's hands moved to his chest.He clenched his jaws and exhaled lowly “You know what you are doing right?, You'd make me eat you here, right now" he replied with a smirk.Erica's eyes went wide immediately, she folded her lips in and laughed lowly.“Dear future husband, I'm beginning to fear you" she joked and turned around to leave but Aurelio pulled her back by waist to himself.“Honey" he whined with a pout.“To the shooting range!" Erica exclaimed with a finger raised in the air.“Yes ma'am lead the way" Aurelio replied and pulled away bowing his head and stretching his hands to the door.“No, you mean…after you. I don't know how to find my way there and you know” she laughed out and hit his backAurelio stood back up laughing, " Let's go then” he replied and held her hand.And
Aryan was seated in his office with few of his Men with him. "Boss what do we do now? Aurelio already found out and killed your men" One of them said to him.Hearing that made Aryan more angry, He angrily slammed his hands on the desk before him and pushed his seat back."How dare those bastards! They couldn't supply the information before they died like rats!" he yelled out angrily.Aryan ran his hands through his hair with his jaw clenched, his eyes went to the glass of champagne on the desk.He rolled his eyes immediately and reached for the glass "Stupid champagne!!!" he yelled out and threw the glass to the wall.Everyone around flinched back out of shock, yes they knew he was angry but they weren't expecting it to get to this extent.The glass went to the wall and shattered into pieces, Aryan was still groaning out loud."Boss I think you should calm down" One of his men said to him"Don't tell that fvcking shit! Do you have an idea of what I'm going through?? And you're openin
She was slowly melting at his Dirty words,“Don’t forget I’m pregnant” she managed to say to him with a side smile.“Yeah I won’t, I can’t… It would even help you more” he smirked and leaned forward to her to place a kiss on her lips.MEANWHILE, at the warehouse.Rowan had dealt seriously with Micha to the point that he was already half alive and half dead. His face was already swollen as a result of several punches he got on his face and beatings he got too.He already had a cut on his temple and another on his lips.“Your colleague here is having a good rest now, you could have been in this position, but you kept talking like a tap that can never stop running” Rowan said to him“And that is why you are getting what you’re receiving now” he added as he stepped back to get a whip for himself and another for his other men.They all understood what he was going to do next and then, Ray, who was standing close to Micha pulled him up and ripped off his clothes.Another went to pull his pa
