RomanHis grandfather's threats did nothing to him. He was ready to build his own life again just like his dad, okay not necessarily join the army like his dad did, but still he had enough money and other businesses like real estate, wine processing factories heck even auto motors to move on with his life.What upset him was the fact that his grandpa thought his wife was some cheapskate! She was more than that. Mikaella was not a golddigger she was so much that he was ready to sacrifice everything just so she could be happy. And forcing himself on her wasn't what she'd call happiness.Marga had already informed him while he climbed the stairs that Mick was awake which meant she'd ran back to her room once she discovered she was on his bed. With a sigh, he entered his room ready to do the necessary.He was surprised seeing her on his couch with his shirt on but he kept the surprise hidden. Taking out the old duffel bag his sister had bought for him

MikaellaHer heart melted and the uncontrolled tears aimlessly left her eyes. With Roman's big hands snuggling her from behind, she smiled once more feeling the love from the two people infront of her more powerful than ever."I don't deserve your love maybe you are right. I'll never change, I'm still the same playboy you met back then. I'm still the same freaking idiot that never treasured you when you all of all people deserved so much. But one thing is for sure this playboy's heart is yours. You have my heart in your hands, it beats for you. You are in my head so much that every morning all I want is to wake up next you"Kevin paused while the rest of the Cervantes family as well as the medical staff in Santa Barbara hospital watched. Chloe with a cast on her hand stayed put on the bed and although Mikaella didn't want to say anything, the girl would definitely say yes this time.It was obviously written in her eyes. The way her eyes glittered

***** Marcus Pierce*****He was at the diner again, ordering what had brought them together in the first place. Sipping his cold beer, he reminisced how a certain brunette had lectured him out of the blue as to why junk foods weren't good for his health.'something as slimy as a greasy burger. Do you know how much grease is in that thing?' The girl with the curly hair and wide rimmed glasses had appeared infront of him and asked such an annoying question.The seventeen year old boy in him had challenged the girl by asking,'Naah why don't you enlighten me, short stuff'Shorty. That nickname always suited her best. It was so funny when she was mad plus adding to her short height, the whole scenario was quite amusing. After huffing the air she had held for so long, she sighed,"All am saying is that if you wanna live long enough to see Bil Clinton retire as president, eating burgers from this place is a step in the wrong direction""You don't say?" He had chuckled

RomanShe looked so beautiful while fast asleep. Her little snores soared throughout their room and as always she had already yanked the blanket to her side of the bed. So typical of Mikaella!He wiped away the stray strands of hair from her face, tucking them behind her ear. The pinkish and purplish part of her skin on the neck made him ashamed. Hurting her was the last thing on his mind last night. The sudden urge to make her his yesterday was great.Maybe the possibility of losing her anytime soon for a mistake he did drove him to insanity. He would protect his family come what may. He once more stared at the hickey on her neck. The mark of his bad behavior was inflicted on her neck and even though she didn't know it everything he did last night, every single act of pleasure on her was to mark her. Claim her as his because he could sense a storm brewing. A storm that would be brought by Marcus Pierce.He leaned his head towards her face wa

Roman"How bad was it?""Well she yelled at me and hasn't spoken a word to me since we got home"Don't! You do not get to say you were jealous. Roman, there's something called trust. Marcus is my friend. My friend! Say it with me 'F R I E N D' No! Don't apologize. You always do this. Today was supposed to be my day. My day of being with Chloe, getting to know her better but noo leave it to my husband to do what he does best. If you say sorry one more time, I swear I'll smack you and those bruises on your face will be the last thing to worry about. He recalled her scoldings word by word. She was pissed, so much that the drive back home was silent. After the fight earlier, both Chloe and her friends as well as he, Mick and Marcus were banned from the store. Nonetheless, the bastard got what he deserved. Mikaella was angry at him for the moment but as time went by she would get over it, he at the moment was concerned about his family.The i
