~Mirabelle~He was seated in the living room when I walked in the next morning. He turned and our eyes met. We held each other's gaze for minutes. Suddenly, he broke our gaze, got up and walked up the stairs.I took a deep breath and started up the stairs. When I got to our room, he wasn't there and so I took that opportunity to quickly change my clothes as I had already taken my bath at Tonia's but I was in a hurry and so I didn't bother grabbing a bite before leaving her house. Today's Sunday and Annie doesn't really come around during Sundays. Mariano had given her that day off so she could spend quality time with her family during Sundays.I arrived in the kitchen, checking to see if Annie had prepared anything yesterday but there was no food in the kitchen. Guess I'd just have to cook something then. I had just put down some carrots and some veggies, when Mariano walked into the kitchen with a tray. I noticed there was food in the plates when he took off the lid and I wondered w

~Mirabelle~"I'm full," I pouted with a sigh as I looked at the different menus before me. Helena had literally taken her time to make so many dishes and I have been eating now for the past thirty minutes and now I couldn't take anymore. I was so full that I felt like I could burst. Mariano smirked and got up from his chair, moving to stand behind me. I felt his hands on my hair and in few seconds, he had taken it all and turned it into a braid. "C'mon." He held out his hand for me."Where to?""You're full now, right? C'mon, let's go somewhere."I stared at him blankly. "Where?"~*~I could go on like this. Dancing excitedly with people clapping and beating drums around us. Dancing all our worries away. It felt as if it was just us alone. I wanted to stay like this with him. Wasn't forever possible?"Here," he handed me a bottle of water as I tried to calm my breath."Woah," I uncorked the bottle and took a huge gulp. It had been so long I felt so free. Being here with him like this,

~Mirabelle~"Are you in love with my husband?"She kept quiet. This was it. I didn't know why I asked but I needed to be sure and I also wanted to make it clear in front of Mariano so he doesn't think that it's all friendship with her."I'd rather drink," Before she could reach for the alcohol, I got hold of it and took it to my side."Woah, girl, take it easy. Drink and make a fool of yourself? Doesn't sound bold of you. It's a simple question, Camilla. Are you in love with my husban--""Yes! Yes, yes! I am! Happy now?"All I could hear for a moment were the gasps around."How could you?" Andrea shot at her. "I thought we've settled that already. You made it very clear that you weren't in love with him before..""I thought I wasn't. But things changed, Andrea, things changed...""So you were doing all these on purpose? To hurt who? Mirabelle?" It was Mariano. "Camilla...""Look, it's normal, okay? Totally normal for one to fall in love unexpectedly..." Aldo defended."Yes but it isn'

~Mirabelle~I pushed him away from me at once and the next thing I did was land my hand on his face."You bastard," I spat, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand as I turned to leave. Before I could step out, he grabbed me again, nudged my back against the wall and forced his lips on mine again."Kidd, stop it! Kidd, I said stop it!" I said, tried pushing him off me but he didn't budge. I bit his tongue and tried escaping from his grip but he punched my stomach and nudged me down on the ground.I gasped, coughing and trying to get back on my feet but he got on top of me and started unbuckling his jeans."Kidd... don't..." I tried catching my breath. "Don't, please.." I begged, tears rolling down my eyes. He lifted my gown up and just as he was about sliding down my panties, the bathroom door burst open and Mariano barged inside. Like a fuming panther, he lunged himself at Kidd and started hitting and punching the living daylight out of him. He didn't stop. He grabbed a handful of K

~Mirabelle~When I woke up, I saw someone staring at me. My visions were blurry so I couldn't make out the face but I could tell it was Mariano. Just before I could lean in and kiss him, I felt a soft slap on my face and that was when I realized I was actually going to kiss Gen."The fuck you saw him in your dreams?!" She asked me, laughing.I groaned. " I didn't only see him. I did a lot of things to him.""You had a sex dream?" A small smile curled up at the side of her mouth when she saw the look on my face. "It wasn't only a dream, it came to pass, didn't it?"I nodded, biting my lips. "I didn't know what came over me this morning. Mariano is slowly turning me into someone I'm not.""At least he doesn't deprive you. He gives it to you however and whenever you want it. Come on," she climbed off the bed and reached out for me. "Let's go make breakfast together. I miss having you around."I groaned, falling back on the bed. "I don't think I can get up. It feels as if my body has been
