Throes of Love
Chanel knew everyone had their eyes on her as they had breakfast. She had not said a word and from the way, she sat with her back so stiff and tense. She was sure they knew she was in serious pain. She took the painkillers Anissa silently offered her without showing any emotion on her face. She could tell there was a smirk on Draven’s face. They all seemed to find pleasure in her pain.
Throes of LoveChanel brushed her hair as she sat looking at the mirror. She realized taking care of herself a lot made her look good. She had not looked this good in a while and she was happy about her appearance. It had been a week since she had seen Alfonso. He had gone away with Tatiana and she had not set eyes on him since. She didn’t bother caring where they were because she was enjoying her time alone. It was better being alone than sitting on the same table with him and Tatiana all over him.
Throes of Love.Alfonso only stood there staring at her for a minute before he walked into the bathroom. She pulled the covers over her shoulder before she closed her eyes, wanting to get comfortable. She didn’t know how she felt about him being in this room. He had not slept here since forever. She knew he was in Tatiana’s bed all that time but now he was here. With her.
Throes of Love.It had been two months since Tatiana had been living with them. Draven, Anissa, Adela, and Jose had returned to their homes. Chanel didn’t really know what to think about it. She didn’t really want to become close to any of them, but Alfonso did nothing to hide how much he wanted her to be. It may be a good idea because she no longer had any family members alive.

The baby was either always fussing, whining or crying.She watched how Alfonso held the baby. It took a lot from her to look at them. She had wanted to leave the table since breakfast was over, but in his own word
Throes of Love.Alfonso stared at Chanel as she handled Joshua easily. Even if she never really played with him, she had learned to hold her own with him. She would hold him, bathe him, feed him, and clean him up. In a way, she saw it more of a duty than a motherly act. She did it so she could keep herself busy and nothing else. Joshua didn’t mind though as long as Chanel was within reaching space: he was good to go.
Throes of Love“You know Peter will try and make you regret everything you said to him tonight,” Alfonso said to Chanel as he ran his fingers through her hair. He suddenly thought back to the inaudible threat Peter was sending his way. The war was inevitable. If he didn’t up and marry Tatiana, it wasn’t going to go down nicely with the two families.“Wel
Throes of Love.“What do you mean by you can’t find the shipment ?” Draven asked, looking at Renato. Renato was in charge of moving the kilos of coke from the port to the warehouse.“Sir, I don’t know how the Santiagos knew we were having a shipment coming. This has never happened before, ” Renato said, he too did not know what was going on.
Throes of LoveChanel ignored his question as she held the sheets to her chest. She picked up her dress from the floor, throwing it over her head.Alfonso rolled over, making to pull her back into his arms.
