Trigger warning: miscarriageAlesso"I. Am. Not. Suffering." I said through gritted teeth trying not to raise my voice at her.She was not letting the topic go and it was all my fault, I shouldn't have had a slip of tongue. Fuck Alesso, why would you say that, what was I even thinking?"You are hiding something, Alesso I want to help you but this won't work if you won't open up a bit." Fuck, fuck, fuck she needs to stop talking."I don't want to talk about it, Maria," I could feel my heartbeat go rapidly against my chest and my muscles becoming tight. Knowing what can happen I walk away from her near the treadmill section while toning out of the conversion and trying to keep calm breathing."Why, why don't you want to tell me?" She started walking towards me while raising her voice a bit.Leave it be, Maria."Ignore it, Maria." My chest was heaving as I tried to steady my breathing."What do you mean ignore it!? I have been ignoring all the red flags all my life and here you are tel

Alesso.Everyone was here and embraced Maria into a hug as she put up a fake smile. I on the other hand just stood there with an emotionless face and shoved my hands in my pockets. Personally, I don't like it when all the relatives come together, it's a lot of turmoil and I like my peace. But knowing Maria was missing her mom last month, I called them to give her a surprise however the timing was not that fortunate. I would have just walked upstairs ignoring all of them but knowing Maria needs support in this I stayed.It's been two days since we found out about us having a miscarriage and Maria hasn't talked with me about it yet making me want to jump off a cliff. The guilt inside me was killing me knowing I was the cause of her having a miscarriage and losing one of our babies. The fact that the last two months have gone like shit makes me think about all its reasons and turns out it was all me."So, what did you do?" I was brought out of my thoughts to see my dad asking me with cr

Maria.We all settled at the dinner table. Vincent sitting at the head, on the right was Georgia, mum and Theo. And on the left were Angelo, Alesso me and then Matteo.This felt so much like the day we came here to Italy to meet the Romano family. The memory brought a spontaneous smile to my lips, remembering how far we have come now even though it's just six months."So, when did you guys arrive?" I broke the silence."Two days ago, but you guys were not here that was a surprise to us." Georgia chuckled, asking for an explanation but that made me remember that we had a miscarriage.Tears brimmed in my eyes before I could control them. I didn't want to ery in front of all of them."We were out for a few days, Maria wanted to go outside for a while." Alesso answer seeing that I was not able to. Matteo looked at me with furrowed brows but I gave him a small smile which he returned."But it is so cold out right now." Mum said making me give her a smug smile.I swear I heard Theo chuckli

No perspectiveMaria's eyes flutter as she opened and tried to roll over. She couldn't due to certain hands wrapped around her. Blinking a couple of times to see clearly from her foggy sight, she saw Alesso holding tightly on her waist with his face buried in her breasts."Pervert," She muttered to herself tilting her head to see the time.It was just seven in the morning meaning they had an hour before breakfast. She ran her fingers through Alesso's hair gently while the other traced along his back.She creased her brows when she felt a few rough textures making her wonder what it is. She lifted her head a bit to look at his back and gasped making Alesso, eyes snap open.He got up from her chest, pulled a gun from under his pillovw and scanned the room and then look back at Maria with a worried face. Seeing nothing he tugged the gun back. He keeps a gun under the pillow? She thought."What is it?" He started to look at her body for any injuries forgetting she is still naked under the

Hopping on, Lily places the strawberry bowl in front of Maria and she wastes no time in devouring it. She had no idea the Lily had caught up upon the fact Maria is pregnant. After all, Lily has two children of her own. Looking at the time, Maria saw it was already one in the afternoon. She had an ultrasound check-up at three o'clock. Finishing the bowl of strawberries she left the kitchen finding where her husband was Alesso had told her that they would be in the west wing. The closer she got she started to hear faint shouts coming from the office. This office was usually used for Mafia reasons.Pondering about where the scouts were coming from, she strode towards that direction. Maria recognised the voices, noting it was Vincent and Alesso having a heated discussion about something.She didn't want to invade their talk but also knowing they have an appointment, she didn't want to get late she just stood outside the door, debating whether to go inside or not."You couldn't lock it or
