Sarah and Jonathan woke up to loud music crippling through the walls of their house. They did not have to do any guesses to know who was behind the loud music. Michael. It had to be him. When they did not find Aaron and Michael on the bed, it was confirmed that little Aaro had joined his uncle’s early morning party too.
Sarah moved closer to Jonathan and hugged him, laying her head on his chest. And he draped one of his hands around her waist and stroked her hair with the other hand.
“They are loud,” Jonathan commented.
After Adrian and Aaron left their house, the three of them simply sat and watched the tv for a few hours. Sarah sighed loudly making her husband and son turn to her. “What happened Sweetheart?” Jonathan asked, sliding his arm around her shoulder. She looked at him with a sad face, “I miss Aaron already. The house feels empty.”Jonathan caressed her cheeks and replied, “I know the feeling Sweetheart. But don’t worry we will meet h
Michael peeked into the dining area while standing behind the wall. His mom was busy in the kitchen and his father was busy with his phone. Sarah turned around to get a bowl, and that is when she noticed her son peeping into the dining area.She raised her brows and questioned, “What is it, Mikey?” That made Jonathan look up from his phone.“Woah... That is a lot of attention,” Michael said walking to the dining table.“Who else to give,
Michael took his luggage and went downstairs. He was all set for his supposed solo vacation to Italy. He had convinced his parents, informed to Jordan and had cleared the change of course in the college. He saw his mom was already up and was preparing breakfast.He leaned and kissed her cheeks, “Good Morning, Mamma.”Sarah smiled, “Good Morning, Baby. Are you ready to go to Italy to find your love?” She asked raised her eyes brows.He was not exactlyy shocked about his mom’s revelation. He knew all along that his mom would guess it.“Shush…. Mamma. Please don’t say it loudly. I don’t want to get cross with your husband again.”“Ohho… my baby is becoming very good.” She pinched his cheeks.“What else to do whenn he is being nice to me?”“Hmm… that’s right baby. I hope you both can get along well at lesst from now on.”“It seems like we will, Mamma.”At that moment, Jonathan announces his presence by clearing his throat.“All
Michael had landed in Italy last night and had immediately checked into his room that he had book. It was his first time in Italy and he could barely speak Italian language. He did not know how to find Riley here in the city of Rome. Sure, he knew that she lives in a fortress in the middle of the city. He wondered why would the Don build a fortress in the middle of the city. As per Michael's knowledge, powerful dons lived outside the city in a forest like an area. But Alessandro Bianchi seemed to be a different kind of don.Michael woke up the next day morning and got ready quickly. He rushed down to the reception to enquire about breakfast and stuff. He was in the elevator, staring at Riley’s address in one hand and her picture on his phone in another hand.He exited the elevator and barely had walked to the lounge, someone bumped into him, making his phone fall down. That, someone, looked like he was a little older than Michael and he had a quite built body and seemed
Michael stared at his phone wondering why Riley is not picking up his phone call. He had his breakfast and then decided to roam around a mall which caught his attention. He was drawn to the building landscape and was curious about the interior. Perhaps this was the clue for him to concentrate on buildings and construction, he thought.He went inside the mall and began his studying of the interior. The shops were no different from the US. It were the same brand shops and a few hotels with Italian food of course.Michael roamed around the mall for the next 30 minutes or so simple glancing over everything and bought a bracelet for Riley which he thought might suit for her.Just when he was about to pay the bill, he heard his name. But he did not pay any attention to it. Because he knew no one in this place.“Michael,” he turned around when the voice was right behind his ears. There stood, Giorgia, with a bodyguards behind her, holding her shopping bags.Mi
Mike did not stop himself from hugging Riley tighter and place a kiss on her forehead. Then he leaned back a little and spoke, “Won’t you invite me in?”She chuckled out of embarrassment, “Come.” She took his hand and walked inside the fortress.“I had called you earlier in the morning,” he said as they walked inside.“I know. And I am sorry I did not pick up your call. I was in a difficult situation,” she reasoned.“I wonder what has kept you so busy to not even pick my call,” he raised his brows.“I will let you know that later. How is Jordan?”“She is good.”“Mr. Marcel?”“You mean Adrian or Aaron?” she chuckled at that. It was no wonder that Michael had grown close to Aaron.“Senior and junior, both,” she replied.“They are both good. Aaron has become my parents' grandson and is being spoiled a lot. And I am being blamed for his bluntness,”Riley laughed, “I would not be surprised if he will be an imprint of you w
Alessandro's words had caught everyone off guard. What did he mean by the decision was up to Riley. Was he really giving her the chance to go back to the US with Michael? Was he really allowing Riley to take decisions about her life on her own?The dinner went silently after that. No one really knew what to speak. Vincenzo and Michael occasionally glanced at Riley to look for any clues on what was going on inside her head. Rafale kept silent the entire time. He would talk sense into his sister’s mind later. She needed time for hersel to think straight first.When he done eating, Alessandro excused himself and left the dining are with Giorgia following him.The youngsters were left alone. Vincenzo and Michael exchanged looks from time to time. When Vincenzo could not take any more, he got up and left the table. He walked upstairs. He wanted to the Don first about pursuing anything with Riley.Giorgia had nothing to say to anyone. She left the dining tabl
After Michael left her house, Riley found herself I her room, thinking what to do. She had no idea why her father gave her the chance to decide her life. She simply could not think straight at this moment. Who was she supposed to choose? Michael? Vincenzo?She got up from the bed and walked towards the door when she heard someone knocking at it. She was nervous for a reason. What would she do if Vincenzo was at the other side of door? What would she talk to him?She slowly opened the door and peeked outside and left out am enormous sigh after seeing Rafaele at the door. She pulled him inside and closed the door.“Where you expecting someone else?” Rafaele asked taking a seat on the bed. She walked back to the bed and took a seat next to him.“I was just nervous. I did not know what to do if it was Vincenzo,” she replied. Rafale and Vincenzo had been best of friends since childhood. Rafaele could not be more happy than he was when he got to know that Vincenzo
