ログインThey laughed warmly. Abruptly, the door swung open. A troop of five men around their twenties came in view. They were in black formal suits. Only one attracted her sight. She sucked in her breath, her heart raced, her body trembled. She grasped the bed sheet in her hands. She felt tightness in my chest, her belly ache and dizziness. Last night's memory was standing in front of her in the beautiful shape of him, reality. He took her virginity. She could feel her body on fire. His white shirt was hugging his muscular body, not bulky but regnant. Three buttons of his shirt were unfastened, showing his tattoos on chest and toned body. There was a light wary smile on his face, showing him some kind of Goddess. There were four people behind him, charging their guns at them. She was terrified of him. Was he here for her? What would he do to her? Why didn't he forget last night and let her also forget this mistake. . Liam Rodrigues is a ruthless cold hearted Mafia & Billionaire.

Estaba sentada en el consultorio del médico, tamborileando nerviosamente los dedos contra mi muslo. La habitación estaba demasiado silenciosa, demasiado fría, y yo estaba completamente tensa.
Las paredes blancas y el olor a antiséptico me revolvían el estómago. Llevaba allí lo que parecían horas, esperando a que la doctora Bennett regresara con mis resultados.
¿Y si algo estaba mal conmigo? Últimamente me sentía extraña. Tenía muchas náuseas matutinas y un cansancio constante que empezaba a preocuparme.
Así que finalmente había decidido hacerme un chequeo.
La puerta se abrió con un leve chirrido y la doctora Bennett entró con una pequeña sonrisa en el rostro.
Mi corazón latía tan fuerte que estaba segura de que podía escucharlo.
—Ariana —dijo mientras se sentaba frente a mí—. Ya tenemos tus resultados.
Contuve la respiración.
—Estás embarazada.
Las palabras me golpearon como una ola.
Embarazada.
¿Estoy embarazada?
Un bebé.
¿El bebé de Angelo y mío? Después de tantos años intentándolo… ¿por fin iba a tener un bebé?
Mis manos volaron hacia mi vientre mientras las lágrimas me ardían en los ojos.
—¿De verdad? —mi voz apenas fue un susurro.
La doctora Bennett asintió.
—Sí. Tienes aproximadamente seis semanas de embarazo. Todo parece estar perfectamente bien.
No podía dejar de sonreír mientras una lágrima resbalaba por mi mejilla.
Un bebé.
Después de todo este tiempo, después de tantos meses de esperanza, finalmente estaba sucediendo.
Angelo iba a ser padre.
Solo podía imaginar lo feliz que estaría. Tanto como yo… aunque, si era posible, seguramente él estaría todavía más feliz.
—Muchas gracias —dije, levantándome emocionada.
Salí del hospital soltando el aire que ni siquiera sabía que estaba conteniendo.
Angelo había estado… distante últimamente. Desde que había recibido ese ascenso en el trabajo, vivía enterrado entre documentos, reuniones nocturnas y estrés.
Apenas tenía tiempo para mí y aquello empezaba a dolerme. Aunque yo había sido la razón detrás de su ascenso, me dolía no recibir toda su atención como antes.
Pero quizá, solo quizá, un bebé conseguiría que volviera a mí… a nosotros.
Esa noche era nuestro cuarto aniversario. Había planeado todo a la perfección.
Una cena en La Rosa, el restaurante más exclusivo de la ciudad.
El restaurante que pertenecía a mis padres.
El lugar donde finalmente le diría la verdad a Angelo.
La verdad que había estado ocultando durante años.
Yo no era simplemente Ariana Lopez, la chica sencilla de la que se enamoró en la universidad.
Era Ariana Melendez.
La heredera de la fortuna Melendez.
Mi familia era dueña de la mitad de los hoteles y restaurantes de la ciudad, además de varias empresas tecnológicas. Pero lo había ocultado todo porque quería que Angelo me amara por quien yo era, no por mi apellido ni por mi dinero.
Pero ahora… ahora había llegado el momento.
Esa noche le contaría a Angelo dos cosas que cambiarían nuestras vidas:
Íbamos a tener un bebé.
Yo era una Melendez.
Solo le pedía a Dios que no me odiara por haberle mentido.
De verdad lo deseaba.
El sonido de mi teléfono me sacó de mis pensamientos.
Lo saqué del bolso y el nombre que aparecía en la pantalla llamó inmediatamente mi atención.
Era Bella, mi mejor amiga.
—¡Hey! ¿Dónde has estado? Llevo intentando comunicarme contigo…
La interrumpí antes de que pudiera comenzar con sus reclamos.
—Estoy embarazada —anuncié, llevándome una mano a la boca.
Se quedó en silencio.
Durante casi un minuto.
Hasta que finalmente gritó:
—¡¿Qué?! ¡¿Qué has dicho?!
Asentí, como si pudiera verme a través del teléfono, con lágrimas en los ojos.
—¡Sí! Voy a tener un bebé… Angelo y yo finalmente vamos a ser padres —añadí.
—¡WOW! ¡Felicidades! Estoy tan feliz por ti. ¡Dios mío, voy a ser madrina! —gritó emocionada.
—Está bien, Bella. Te llamaré después, ¿sí? Tengo algo que atender —dije cuando recibí la llamada del restaurante que había reservado.
Llamaban para confirmar los platos que prepararían para la cena. Después de terminar la llamada, me dirigí a casa para arreglarme.
—
Me encontraba frente al espejo, en la entrada del restaurante, alisando mi vestido rojo.
Se ajustaba perfectamente a mis curvas. La tela suave rozaba mi piel, mientras mi cabello oscuro caía en ondas sueltas por mi espalda. Mi maquillaje era ligero, pero hacía que mi rostro tuviera un brillo especial.
Perfecto.
La mesa en La Rosa estaba reservada. Le había dado instrucciones estrictas al chef: los platos favoritos de Angelo y el vino más caro.
Y al final de la noche, cuando llegara el momento indicado, le entregaría una pequeña caja.
¿Dentro?
Un pequeño body de bebé que decía:
“Hola, papá”.
Y entonces… entonces se lo contaría todo.
Mi teléfono vibró.
Era un mensaje de Angelo.
“Voy a llegar tarde. Cosas del trabajo. Estaré allí pronto.”
Suspiré.
Por supuesto.
Últimamente siempre era el trabajo.
Pero esa noche no permitiría que nada arruinara nuestro aniversario.
Solté el aire lentamente y me dirigí hacia la mesa.
—Señora Melendez, ¿desea algo? —preguntó el camarero con una sonrisa cortés.
Negué con la cabeza mientras miraba la hora.
Ya había pasado una hora y Angelo todavía no aparecía.
Había intentado llamarlo varias veces, pero su teléfono estaba fuera de servicio. También le había enviado innumerables mensajes preguntándole dónde estaba, pero no había respondido a ninguno.
Empezaba a preocuparme.
¿Estaría bien?
¿Le habría ocurrido algo?
Solté un suspiro y tomé mi teléfono. Decidí llamar a Marcus, mi asistente personal, para preguntarle si Angelo había salido de la oficina.
—¿Hola?
—¿Sí, jefa?
—¿Angelo ya salió de la oficina? —pregunté, cada vez más preocupada.
—Sí. Se fue a las cinco de la tarde —respondió.
Sentí que el corazón se me hundía.
Angelo se había ido tan temprano y, aun así, me había dicho que estaba trabajando y que llegaría tarde.
¿Por qué me mentiría?
Definitivamente algo no estaba bien.
—¿Estás seguro? —pregunté, frunciendo el ceño.
—Sí, señora Melendez… lo vi registrar su salida —confirmó.
—Está bien. Muchas gracias —dije antes de terminar la llamada.
Miré la hora.
Ya eran las once de la noche y Angelo todavía no había aparecido.
Las lágrimas se acumularon en mis ojos mientras sentía que cada pedazo de mi corazón se hacía añicos.
Había arruinado la noche que tanto me había esforzado por preparar.
Más le valía a Angelo tener una muy buena razón para haber arruinado nuestra cena de aniversario.
ARIANA She wasn't surprised when Kairo suddenly decided to leave Detroit. She was back in his mansion. She hissed in pain as she softly placed her finger on the bruise over her forehead. Her blonde hair was in unruly waves and cascading down her shoulders. Her phone began to ring. She swirled her head at the desk. Sauntering forward, she swiped it up in her hand with a smile, "Sal, I'm fine. I've told you many times." She muttered. "Yeah! Yeah! I trust you. Still, I wanna know. How are you now?" She wasn't regretting that she couldn't spend time with her brother as he was busy catching the trouble. She sat on the couch, staring down at the carpet, "I'm good." 'I haven't seen my husband after reaching home. He's not answering my calls. I don't know what to do.' The door opened softly. Her head jerked at it, her breath caught in her throat at the sight of him. She was looking at him without blinking, "I'll call you later,
KAIRO His cuffs were unfastened and his sleeves were rolled up. His hands were gloved. A knife was gleaming in his hand. The blade was covered with blood. The crimson was dripping on the floor. A low growl rumbled through his chest, his glare was fixed at him. There wasn't any part of his skin visible clean. He was covered in his own blood. His fingers were missing, several cuts on his palms and the back of his hands. "Leave something for us, Kairo." Danil's smirking tone reached his ears. He leaned against the opened door, looking down at struggling, groaning in pain Tony. Tony stared at them with hate in his eyes. The cloth in his mouth was muffling his screams. Kairo glowered and fisted in his face, "Lower your gaze, piece of ****!" He snarled, punching his hand one more time. He made another hit over the back of his hand, on the several cuts. Tony howled in pain. His face creased.
A shiver moved up her body when she found their guards' gazes on her. She managed a nervous smile and took the way to the kitchen. Her body tensed involuntarily when they started to walk behind her. She tried hard not to show fear. They just needed a little hint and it would reach Kairo. She could have lost her mother forever. Her heart was racing so hard and fast she was fearing it was enough for them to notice that something was off. The tension in the air was surrounding her or only she was feeling it. The maids looked up at her. She ignored them as her gaze fixed on the second door of the kitchen. She looked over her shoulder. They were busy inspecting the area. One of the maids stepped forward, her head bowed. The staff wasn't changed. She recognized her immediately. She could ask for their help but she didn't want to put their lives in danger. She could only hope that her husband would save her from her father's danger. But no one could save the
She had learned how to bury those feelings, she felt when she found herself alone in the room. She was frightened to imagine the stalker around her every time. The fear and anxiousness, she couldn't control. The heavyweight that she was feeling in his absence was making her suffocate. She blinked a few times, plucking her eyes away from the door. It opened softly. Her heart began to race in anticipation. A slow smile appeared on her face. "Ria," Her mother walked into the room. She didn't let her smile drop, "Mom," She hurried her feet at her mother, "Is dad treating you..." Marcella shook her head, "Did he hurt you?" She cupped the side of her face. A deep frown foamed over her face, "Why would he hurt me, Mom?" She shook her head in disapproval, "He's not father," She added, looking into her eyes. Marcella glanced at her, looking stunned, "He isn't cruel." "Why would he?" She relaxed that her mother wasn't g
She paced Inside the mansion, following Dean. Her guards were striding behind her like shadows. She looked over her shoulder and frowned at them. They acted like robots. "You hate them, too!" Dean laughed. "Do you, too?" She asked. "No!" He laughed and turned his index finger
ARIANA She was still staring at the door when Cody and Selena burst through the door. Their laughter echoed in the room. She opened her mouth but stopped when Rose walked in, "Rose, you should send someone..." She said. Rose shook her head with a smile. Her hand was on her roun
ARIANA The ground dropped from her feet when Olivia told her that Vincent would be here at dinner tonight. 'Why is he here? Is my mother alright? My brother, Sal!' Tension encircled her. She grabbed her phone and immediately hit the call button on her brother's number. "Ria! A
KAIRO He wanted to be in the middle of the street, fighting, drawing blood from his enemies' bodies. He sharply breathed in, adjusting his tie. He ran his hand over his coat. His brother's gun was lying beneath it. The clicks of the heels drew his attention, decreasing
