Dark_Rose_019Hi guys. My sincerest apologies for not updating yesterday. I'm not sure if you noticed but I don't want Zesa to be a delicate flower that needs a man's protection to feel safe. She should be able to stand on her own and of course, know when to ask for help. Just not every time as though she's a Disney princess. What do you think? I love you guys. XOXO.

Zesa: Love on papers Chapter 52
ZESA RUSSO After little contemplation, I settled for a mid-calf contrast color striped insert blazer dress with long sleeves to keep me warm. Leandra wore a khaki colored tied detail long sleeve pleated dress. We walked up to the huge door that hid the party behind it. Two guys wearing black suits in front of the door opened it, granting us entrance into the garden where the party was being held. Flowers and trees that had fairy lights hanging from them surrounded us. In the center of the garden was a calming fountain as the guests mingled on the covered patio and inner and outer gardens. Servers went around, serving refreshments to those who wanted them.“Ilaria Rossi.” Leandra whispered to me. Her eyes were on a woman a few feet away from us.Ilaria Rossi, a woman of average height with a slim build, tan skinned with a big nose and ears that stuck out from under her textured Pixie with highlights. She wore a perfectly pressed maxi green dress and nude lipstick. Beside her

ZESA RUSSO I’d sent Neviah a text, asking her to send me a list of things a newborn need. Apparently, there were a lot of things a newly born child needed. She mentioned bath towels, a tearless shampoo, onesies, diapers, and to wrap it up, having a baby equaled money. I wondered how she catered for twins. After purchasing every single thing on the list she sent me, one worker helped me bring them to my car. “Thank you.” I told the woman who had helped me carry some bags. She had assisted me when I got confused about what was best for the baby. She later told me she was a mother of three. “You’re welcome.” As she walked away, my phone began ringing. It was an unknown number. Could it be Nina? It was unlikely since I made my intentions clear to her. I doubted she’d want to call and have me disappoint her for the second time. “Zesa Russo speaking.” I said into the receiver, leaning against my car. “This is Sophia.” How interesting. “How can I be of help to you?” “It’s

ZESA RUSSO When they were done setting up Jaylen’s room, I went up to see what they had done. Finn followed me, holding a glass of spiced apple syrup with clementine. I felt my heart swell with joy and satisfaction at the sight before me. It was a whimsical themed room. It had a tree mural wallpaper and a two-toned palette of soft and dreamy tones of pastel blue and white, creating a soft, dreamy, cloudlike backdrop for a room filled with traditional vintage-style furniture and lighting. A floating cloud suspended from the ceiling and on the floor was a light blue tartan plaid rug. It had a classic pattern with muted colors. Beside the white Venetian cast iron crib was a glider chair with a modern twist to the traditional wingback chair style. To the right of the glider chair was an oval mirror and an antique chest of drawers. There was also a shelf with children's books on it. “It looks like a prince’s room.” Finn commented, to which I nodded in agreement. My little pri

ALEJANDRO ORTEGAI sat at the dinner table in Sophia parent’s home with Sophia and her parents, alongside my father, Manuel, as I pondered on why Marie turned herself in, claiming to be the mastermind behind Isiah’s death? How did I miss such a thing? I bit the inside of my cheek to keep myself from sighing, since it would draw attention to me. I just wanted this cursed dinner to be over, so I could have more time to think about what to do to get the woman of my dreams.There was this fire that burned inside of me whenever I saw or thought of Zesa. That woman was perfect, but at such a time she failed to set her priorities straight. I expected more from her, to be honest. There was nothing hard about leaving Levi and coming to me. Absolutely nothing. I’d tried to be the nice guy, gave her some time. It seemed she had her mind made up. She would not come to me. At least not on her own. She needed some boost. She wanted to make me the bad guy.“Alejandro,” Sophia whispered, rubbing my th

ZESA RUSSO Having a child was a ton of work.Don’t get me wrong. Jaylen was the sweetest and most adorable child I’d ever seen. He had his mother’s brown hair and Levi’s eyes. He was so cute. Whenever I saw him, there was this need to squeeze him. Not because I hated him, but because he was cute. I couldn’t explain it, though. I looked it up on the internet and I was told it was called a cuteness aggression.It was eight p.m. and Jaylen was fast asleep in the next room, giving me time to rest in our bedroom. Levi was yet to be back from work and I felt so bored. The only thing I could do was bake and that would take the paltry amount of energy I had left. I didn’t have it in me to stand, either. So, I stayed in my room, legs akimbo, on the bed. After a few minutes of resting I took a shower and changed into matching brown pajamas. As I applied lip balm, I heard someone come in through the front door. At this point it could be anybody. It could be Malena or even Finn. They a

ZESA RUSSO Rolling my bottom lip into my mouth, I climbed out of the bed and stood bare in front of him, ready to have a taste of what would soon be buried deep inside of me. I tugged at his shirt. “Take it off.”He obeyed immediately, stripping out of his white button-up shirt. I stood up and caged him with my arms so that he leaned back, propping himself up with his elbows. His eyes followed my every move as I ran my hand over his chest, loving the feel of his skin under my fingers. His breath hitched as I lowered my mouth to his stomach, running my tongue over his taut stomach, licking when I felt like it. He flexed his hands with the urge to grab onto something. I played with the waistband of his boxers, and I couldn’t help the smile that made its way to my face when a growl rumbled in his throat.I gripped his length, and on instinct, he bucked his hip into my hand. I bowed my head to swipe my tongue over the head that was dripping with pre-cum. He gathered my hair in

NINA MEYERS Four months later… One thing was getting out of prison and another thing was coming out to see the person you hated most caring for your child. The worst part about it was that I couldn’t see him even if I wanted to. Alejandro had strictly instructed me to not go anywhere close to Levi, Zesa, and even my son. Sometimes I wondered what was going through that man’s head. I couldn’t understand him. Despite his warning, I still needed to see my son for myself. It had been four months since I last held him in my arms and breastfed him. I needed to see him. He was going in for a checkup today and it would be one of the few opportunities I would get to see him. I followed behind Levi’s car as he drove Zesa and Jaylen to the hospital. That woman ruined everything. Yes, I sold my right to be with Levi for fifty million, but I had my reasons. I needed the money. People say opportunities knock once and I couldn’t let it walk past by my door without making use of it. I slowed down
Zesa: Love on papers Chapter 59
ZESA RUSSO The hairs on my neck stood on edge as if sensing an unseen danger. I didn’t see the danger, but I felt it. Something didn’t seem right. As Levi and I walked out of the hospital, it became stronger. I glanced around, searching for what made me uncomfortable until Levi’s voice pulled me away from my thoughts. I glanced down at Jaylen. My heart ached when I remembered what we were told at the hospital. The doctor suspected leukemia. A blood sample and we would go back for the result in two days. For the first time, I prayed for a negative outcome. It would break me if it came out positive. He felt like my son and the thought of him being in pain hurt me. Levi drove us home, frequently checking the rear-view mirror to see if I was doing okay. While he was worried about me, I was much more worried about Jaylen who was in the back seat with me.“I’ll be going to see my mother today. She’s been asking to see me.” he informed me, his grip tightening on the steering wheel
