“Don’t be sorry, it’s not your fault hun. I love you.” Aiden drew her close and patted her again.Silvana pulled back slightly, looking into his eyes. “But what if the baby isn’t yours?”Aiden’s heart ached at the pain in her voice. “We’ll deal with that if it comes to it. Right now, we need to focus on your health and well-being. We’ll take it one day at a time.”Silvana nodded, her tears still flowing but her expression softening slightly. “Thank you, Aiden. I don’t know what I would do without you.”“You’ll never have to find out,” he said, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “We’re in this together, Silvana. We’ll face whatever comes our way.”Aiden sat beside Silvana on the couch, his heart heavy with the weight of his next words. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves before speaking.“Silvana,” he began softly, taking her hand in his. “I’d like to ask a favour from you. I know this is difficult, but we will need to confirm the paternity of the baby.”Silvana’s
Zia looked up at her father with wide, confused eyes. “But why are you crying if you’re happy?”Aiden glanced at Silvana, who nodded and gave him a reassuring smile. He took a deep breath and gently brushed a tear from Zia’s cheek. “Zia, we just got some very special news, and it made us so happy that we cried. Sometimes grown-ups do that.”Silvana stepped closer, her smile radiant despite her tear-streaked face. She crouched down beside Aiden and took Zia’s hand in hers. “Zia, the doctor told us something wonderful. You’re going to have a baby sibling soon. The baby is growing in my tummy.”Zia’s eyes lit up with pure delight and amazement. She looked from Silvana’s face to her stomach, then back again. “Really? A baby? In your tummy?”Silvana nodded, guiding Zia’s small hand to rest gently on her belly. “Yes, really. Right here.”Zia’s face broke into the biggest smile, and she began to jump up and down with excitement, her pigtails bouncing with each leap. “I’m going to be a big si
Amelia leaned forward, her eyes locking onto his. “We work together to remove her. In return, I will make sure you have access to the Lorenzo wealth and business, I know you’ve had your eyes on it all your life until Aiden recently showed up. That way, we both get what we want.”Bryden considered it for a moment, but Amelia’s gaze never left his. Amelia had no such plans of giving up the Romanov’s wealth once she had a hold of it via Aiden. What then would’ve been her reason for all these in the first place, but she had to make an offer that Bryden could not refuse.“Alright, Amelia. You have a deal. But remember, if we’re caught, it’s both our heads.”A wry smile crossed her lips, and she stretched out her hand toward Bryden for a handshake. “Partners?”“Partners,” Bryden replied.Excited about their new alliance, Bryden hurried home to tell his father. He found him in the study, going over some papers.“Father, I have some news,” Bryden began, unable to hide his excitement.His fat
As the sun continued to shine warmly over the garden, Lorenzo spoke up quite. “Zia, how about we go shopping this evening? To make up for all those days we didn’t see each other.”Zia’s eyes widened with joy. “Really? That sounds amazing, great-grandfather! Thank you!”Lorenzo smiled, pleased to see her so happy. “It’s my pleasure, dear.”Aiden started to help Silvana to her feet, but Lorenzo gently stopped him. “Let the young lady be, Aiden. No need to stress her.”Silvana laughed softly, appreciating the gesture. “Thank you, Lorenzo.”Zia then turned to her great-grandfather with an air of importance. “Great-grandfather, I have something to tell you.”Lorenzo raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Oh? What’s that, my dear?”Zia’s voice dropped to a whisper, though her excitement was palpable. “I’m going to be a big sister soon! Mommy and Daddy told me that a baby is growing in Mommy’s tummy.”Lorenzo feigned astonishment, playing along with her enthusiasm. “Well, that’s wonderful news, Zia!
There was a moment of silence, and then Ruby turned her attention back to the phone. "I'll talk to you later, Amelia. It seems Bella has something to say.""Extend my regards to Father and Liam," Amelia said before the call ended.In the Reyes household, Ruby turned to Bella. "What's the matter? Why were you staring at me like that?"Bella hesitated, her face pale. "Do we really need to make Amelia go that far? Have you thought about what would happen if Aiden or any of the Romanovs found out the truth about Amelia’s pregnancy?"Ruby's expression darkened. "Keep your mouth shut and only say positive things. If you have nothing useful to say, it's better you just stay silent. After all, you're no saint either."With that, Ruby turned away, leaving Bella standing there, trembling. Bella sank into a nearby sofa, sobbing uncontrollably as memories flooded her mind, memories of the one mistake that had haunted her for nearly two decades.---Bella was married to her college sweetheart, Tim
Chapter 84Bella looked up at him, her eyes filled with desperation. “What are we going to do?” Alex sighed, his mind racing. “It was wise that you came here, all you need to do is tell the cops you’ve been here since yesterday morning, they will figure that Tim was drunk and fell. We’ll make sure the scene looks like it was just a terrible accident. No one has to know the truth.” Bella nodded, her heart heavy with guilt and fear as tears rolled freely down her cheeks. “Thank you, Alex. I don’t know what I would do without you.” Alex hugged her tightly. “We’ll get through this, Bella. I promise.”"We can't let anyone know the truth," Alex said firmly. "We'll say he tripped and fell. It was an accident, Bella. You didn’t mean to hurt him."Bella nodded, her mind numb with grief and fear. Alex helped her cover up the incident, and it was officially reported as an accidental death. But the guilt never left Bella. It gnawed at her every day, a constant reminder of the night her life h
Amelia managed a weak smile through her pain. “Just stay with me. It’ll pass. I’m not going to die tonight,” she said, tears streaming down her cheeks.Aiden’s heart broke at the sight. He gently rubbed her swollen belly, trying to comfort her. He leaned in and kissed her stomach, whispering softly, “Don’t stress your mommy anymore. I’m here now. You can talk to me.”To Aiden’s surprise, Amelia suddenly stopped writhing. The pain seemed to subside, and she let out a small laugh at his words. But the laughter quickly turned into sobs, her shoulders shaking as she cried.Aiden climbed onto the bed beside her, wrapping his arms around her. “What’s the matter?” he asked gently.“You’re the matter,” Amelia replied through her tears. “You come here, acting all nice to the baby after neglecting us for weeks. Please, let me go back to my family’s house. There, I have my mother and others who genuinely care for me and the baby.”Aiden felt a pang of guilt. He gently wiped the tears from her ey
Silvana gasped and moaned, this time loudly, and Aiden knew what he had to do next. He positioned himself between her, ready to make her hit off the roof with her pleasure screams, but Silvana could not let him have all the fun alone.She tossed him over slowly, tracing his neck with her tongue until she got to his chest. She fiddled on his nipples, allowing his need grow. With her tongue, she drew imaginary circles around his navel until she got to the base of his erection.Aiden moaned deeply, his voice rich and inviting. Silvana traced every vein on his cock with a delicate attention that made Aiden moan more deeply. She finally wrapped her lips around his cock, sucking on him intentionally and hungrily.Aiden was sure to scream out of pleasure if he didn’t stop her now, but he could not let her go without exploring her warm pussy with his hungry dick.He tossed her over gently, positioned himself between her legs and guided his dick gently into her pussy. They both gasped and moa
