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
Ashley’s face lit up with excitement. “Of course, I’ll be there. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”“Thanks, Ash. You know how much Zia adores you.” Silvana paused, looking thoughtful. “Also, I promise I’m taking it easy. I know I’m pregnant now too, but I’m feeling much better.”Ashley laughed, a teasing glint in her eyes. “You better be careful, Mom.”Silvana laughed heartily. “Alright, Mother Hen. I’ll take care.”As they approached the car, Amelia happened to be passing by with her maid, having just taken a stroll. She overheard the conversation and froze, shocked to learn that Silvana was pregnant. The revelation hit her hard. She had been so consumed with her own issues that she had forgotten about Zia’s upcoming birthday. Her heart sank, but she masked her emotions as she approached the two women.“Good morning,” Amelia greeted, forcing a smile.“Morning, Amelia,” Silvana replied casually, not missing the brief flicker of something dark in Amelia’s eyes.Ashley offered a polite
Aiden was at the office, buried in paperwork, when his phone buzzed. Seeing his grandfather’s name, he quickly answered. “Grandpa, good evening. How are you feeling tonight?”Lorenzo’s voice was calm but firm. “I am well Aiden, Mark has just been arrested. Carl found evidence linking him to the engineer who vanished after your parents’ crash.”Aiden’s heart raced. “What kind of evidence?”“Emails and financial transactions. It’s damning, Aiden. Mark was deeply involved, and we’re tightening security around him to ensure he can’t be silenced.”Aiden sank back into his chair, the weight of the news washing over him. “Thank you, Grandpa. This could be the breakthrough we’ve needed.”“It’s a step closer to justice, Aiden. We’re not there yet, but we’re on the right path.”After the call ended, Aiden sat in his chair, staring at the ceiling. Could this be the closure he had been seeking? The thought of finally understanding what had happened to his parents was overwhelming. He stood up and
“Yes daddy, you call me princess, that’s my other name, more like a nickname, I figured I should give mommy a nick name too!” She threw her hands in the air smiling.Everyone burst into laughter again.“Happy birthday darling, I trust you got my gift as well.” Lorenzo added, winking at his great-granddaughter.Zia looked at them, her eyes wide with gratitude. “Thank you all so much. I love all the dresses, and I can’t choose just one. So, I’ve decided that I’ll wear all three! I’ll change dresses during the day so everyone gets to see me in each one.”The adults laughed, impressed by her solution.“That’s a wonderful idea, Zia,” Silvana said, kissing her on the forehead. “You’ll look beautiful in each one.”“Indeed,” Lorenzo agreed. “You have a wise head on those young shoulders.”With the dress dilemma resolved, the family headed to the palace’s five-star diner for a special birthday breakfast in Zia’s honor. The diner was a grand room with crystal chandeliers, ornate ceilings, and l
Every guest that came to Zia’s birthday party was greeted warmly. Parents of Zia’s classmates mingled, exchanging pleasantries and watching their children enjoy the festivities. Aiden and Silvana made their way around the grand hall, thanking each parent and acquaintance for attending. “Thank you so much for coming,” Aiden said to a couple, shaking their hands. “Zia has been looking forward to this day for weeks.” “It’s our pleasure,” replied the father, smiling warmly. “Zia is a delightful child. Our daughter adores her.” Silvana smiled, her eyes glowing with maternal pride. “We’re so glad to hear that. Zia talks about her friends all the time.” After greeting everyone, Aiden led Silvana to a seat, sensing her need to rest. “Come, you’ve been on your feet all morning. Sit down for a bit.” Silvana sighed in relief as she sank into the chair. “Thank you, Aiden. I think I overestimated my stamina today.” Aiden chuckled, sitting next to her. “You deserve a break.” He signaled for
