All Chapters of Signed to Suffer, Destined to Love: Chapter 151 - Chapter 157

A few months laterSilvia sat on the two-seater couch with Ralph while Celia stood beside them, the two of them staring at the chef Ralph had brought like a horn had suddenly sprouted on his head the moment he walked into the house.Celia was definitely drooling because she had never seen a hot chef with broad shoulders, pink lips, well-shaped lips—the kind you wouldn't want to let go of once you claimed them—and a sharp jaw. She had only seen handsome chefs in movies, not even when she went to culinary school. She scoffed at the thought.Her eyes traveled to his hands. There was no way those hands had ever held a knife in their entire existence. They were too smooth and soft to have gone through that kind of stress.Celia came back to reality when Silvia pinched her thigh. She glared at her for ruining her imagination.How sure were they that he was even qualified as a chef? Did Ralph hire him because of his looks? Why throw away money when she could definitely be his wife's nutritio

Silvia sat down, running her fingers over the picture of Xavier, their first son, who was still staying with his nanny because of the tension between her and her husband when Ralph had lost his memory. Ralph didn't want him then, and she also didn't want him around until it was absolutely safe for him to be brought back.Staring at his picture now made her feel a wave of guilt. Was she a terrible mother for doing what she did? She couldn't help but feel like she was the cruelest woman that had ever lived.He would be five in December; his birthday normally fell on The Royal Association's anniversary. Maybe that was the reason Ralph didn't really care when he was ill. When he got better, though, both of them had constantly kept in touch with the nanny. The constant threats to their lives had pushed them to make the tough decision of keeping him away, ultimately for his safety.That was not enough, though. She felt like a stone should be fastened to her neck at this rate. Damn it! How co

"Mommy, I want some candy, please," Xavier pleaded, shaking his mom to wake her up.Silvia hissed before opening her eyes, her body feeling six times heavier than during the first trimester. "Xavier, what is it? Why aren't you sleeping, hun?" she asked, still sleepy."Mommy, I want to eat candy, please!" Xavier said over and over with a hopeful voice. He reached out with small fingers, inquisitively pushing into the roundness of her abdomen and hoping for an answer from within or for it to bounce back like a trampoline. He murmured, eyes wide with amazement, "Your tummy is so big now, Mommy. Is the baby eating all the candy, Mommy?"Silvia blinked slowly, noticing a slight smile on her lips despite the weariness she felt. "Maybe," she replied, softening her voice like she was telling him a top secret. "I think the baby has a sweet tooth already, just like his big brother. Every time you ask for candy, it kicks like he wants it too.”Xavier’s eyes widened in childlike wonder. “So the b

The throbbing in Ralph's head merged into one with the soft lapping of water trickling somewhere above. The cold floor under him had made his limbs hurt, but not his heart. Not his mind. Then—her voice. Ralph… Baby, please come back to me. His eyes flew open. Was she here? Why was she here? Had Silva just said that? He scanned around. Then it hit him; she was not in the room; it had come from inside him. His heart sank. Did she feel safe? Was she praying for him? Memories of her warm palms against his cheek, the evening she told him she was terrified of losing him, resurfaced. She had known. She somehow always knew. With his last little strength, Ralph turned his face and pressed it to the concrete floor, as though reaching toward her. "I'm coming, baby," he murmured. "No matter what they do, I'm coming home." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pain distorted time. Come home, please. He heard Silva's voice in his thoughts again, and he became even more determined. He shifted. Just a
