Chapter 24 A knock sounded at the door. Tamara heaved a heavy sigh as she got up from the bed and slowly walked over to open her bedroom door. It wasn’t her bedroom. Well, not exactly. The past three weeks since she woke up had been a rollercoaster and she was still trying to collect her emotions but one thing was clear. Marco was hellbent on helping her. Over the weeks, it had taken every strength in her to become reacquainted with her body. With her going to physio every day, she had barely seen Marco but he had settled everything. The man had connections and just like she had suspected, he was filthy rich. “Hey, good evening,” Tamara whispered as she unlocked the door and moved aside for Marco to come into the room. Marco cleared his throat and smiled gently. “Good evening, Sutta” He replied as he stepped past her into the room. “Sutta?” She asked amused as she shut the door and turned around to face him with her arms crossed. “Sorry, habit. For the longest time, I had no i

Chapter 26Tamara fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist and let out a deep sigh at the opportunity to rest for a bit.It wasn’t that working as Marco’s assistant was particularly tedious or awful. In fact, they spent more time preparing their new company than she spent serving him, but Mrs. Donatelli had no concept of that.She seemed to believe that Tamara was a slave to her son and hence destined to serve her every whim.That was the reason she stood hiding behind a large flower pot, away from the important people she was supposed to be making connections with.It was the biggest party Tamara had attended since she arrived in Milan. And that was expected, seeing as it was the engagement ceremony of Mr. Marco Donatelli and Miss Francesca Bernandi. Two names Tamara was learning were very significant in the business world.Tamara snickered as she remembered how Marco hadn’t been particularly happy about the engagement, but since he hadn’t rejected Francesca outright, Mrs. Donatelli ha

Chapter 28The paparazzi cameras flashed in Chelsea’s eyes and she blinked in irritation.She supposed she couldn’t complain. This was all she had ever wanted.Everything she dreamed and hoped for. A successful company, a good husband, fame, money and yet as she flashed her brightest smile for the cameras, she couldn’t help but feel hollow inside.“Babe, you good?” David whispered in her ear as he wrapped a hand around her waist for them to assume another pose.“Yeah, I just feel a little lightheaded. Should we take some more pictures then head inside?” Chelsea asked her husband as she responded to calls of Mrs Windsor from the paparazzi.Her wedding to David had been the biggest wedding in the business world, and now nearly a year later, she preened as she still enjoyed the attention from the press.David didn’t give her a reply as he swung his head to stare at something or more precisely, someone.Chelsea frowned. In the several months of her marriage, she had never had to worry abo

Chapter 30Chelsea frowned as David went silently past her into the bathroom.The defeat of the day was still sore in her memories and David wasn’t heling matters. He had always been like this. Quiet, unless he has someting important to say and yet it had never bothered her. She knew he loved her and she was happy about their mariage but the last three months had felt more like living with a business patner than her husband.And Chelsea knew deep in her bones, that a child would bring them closer together. Since the incident, David had not once expressed displeasure at the fact that Elena was pregnant when she died.But she knew, it was only because he had expected to have a baby with her, right away. And now, here they were, over a year since their marriage and despite the vitamins and supplements she had taken, Chelsea was still not pregnant.Her clock was ticking and she knew it.With an irritated sigh, Chelsea pulled her latop onto her laps and began to nperuse google for whateve

Chapter 32Do we have an agreement?” Tamara asked the red-faced doctor as she leaned back in her seat.“I understand what you want from me,” the doctor said in a deathly quiet voice as he raised his head slightly and stared at Tamara.“What I don’t understand is why you think I would risk my career by agreeing to something so unethical. Is this some kind of joke? I only listened to you because you’re both important people in the business world,” The doctor finished with an affronted look on his face as he stood angrily to his feet.“How about now?” Marco asked smoothly as he placed his small box on the table and unlocked it to reveal the twinkling diamonds and dollar wads inside.“Is this enough to make you agree?” He asked the doctor with a blank stare.The angry doctor froze as his eyes latched onto the box and the treasures inside.“Even if you were to gain fifty more clients like the Windsors and work for the rest of your life, you still wouldn’t make this kind of money,” Tamara s
