EPISODE SEVENTY THREE
FINAL CHAPTER~
“Why did you told the doctor to save me but not the baby?, Do you hate her that much?”She asked after putting the baby to sleep with her nipples in her mouth and I pressed my lips together, tiredly.
“We could make another baby, Alessia, The baby wasn’t really that important to me then, I only wanted Yoh to live, And I feel guilty too”
“You don’t have to”She mumbled simply and gestured me to take the baby but I moved back.
“I might drop her”I stuttered in fear and she shook her head.
“You will be the last person to hurt your child, Take her and feel her warmth”She urged and I shook my head.
“Liliana will help”I mumbled before walking out of the room, leaving her disappointed.
ALESSIA POV
I watched the baby sleep in my arms after he left the kissed her forehead again, I knew he felt guilty for saving me and ignoring the baby but I felt special, Who knows that he cared about me that much?
The baby is so beautiful but doesn’t look a bit like me and Enea, Her grey eyes which opens rarely gleamed in the light so much and I couldn’t help but sob, she’s so beautiful, my cute baby is finally here after months.
Liliana came into the room and put the baby to sleep, I thanked her before sleeping off again, tired already.
THREE WEEKS LATER~
Enea stopped coming home during the day, He comes home very late in the night, Countless times, I’ve watched him leave the bed to check on the baby but pretends he doesn’t care, I developed some afterbirth sickness a week later which took a toll on me badly, I couldn’t breastfeed my baby, She depends on artificial food which are very expensive but Enea doesn’t mind spending his last dime on our baby, He named him Ariana and I fell in love with the name instantly.
I got better few ago and my baby has been eating so much, Enea kept Hayden and Kenny busy enough with his chains of business overseas while Tyler handles the one around the country while he leaves the house to only God knows where.
Tyler and Liliana went to an occasion and I was the only one left in the house, It’s around 7PM, I expected to sleep alone until I heard the car horn outside, I dropped the baby carefully on the bed and rushed to the living room, Surprisingly, It was Enea.
I felt like jumping up on him but I restrained myself.
“You’re back?”I asked happily and he nodded.
I followed him to the room and watched him stare at the baby for long minutes before putting off his outfit.
“Have you eaten?”He asked and I nodded.
“The baby too?”
“Of course”I chuckled before lying beside the baby.
“You look weak, Are you okay?”Enea asked walking up to me and made me sit up on the bed.
“I’m fine, Liliana left so I had to do most of the work”I said softly and she smiled.
“It’s okay”She smiled before resting her head.
ENEA POV
I watched her sleep peacefully on the bed with the baby, As usual, I watched them for a very long time and finally left the bathroom to take a shower, After I’m done, I walked back to the room and saw the stored breast milk she extracted during the day, confined in her special flask to avoid infection.
I lay beside the baby on the bed and chuckled at her sleeping position, She curled beautifully on the bed and I watched her until she jerk back and started crying.
I rubbed her back carefully but she wouldn’t stop, Alessia was fast asleep.
“Hey, sorry”I coaxed and kiss her forehead but it triggered her more.
I carefully lift her from the bed to my arms and cradled her.
I prepared her food and fed her, This is so new yet, satisfying to me, God knows I’ve been avoiding Alessia and the baby ever since she asked the question in the hospital.
I smiled and carried the baby to the living room, including her bag of food, I made her lay on my chest and after turning the AC off with the remote control, I slept off her with on the chair.
And of course, she woke up few more times before day break and I didn’t hesitate to feed her.
ALESSIA POV
I woke up the next morning and didn’t see Ariana on the bed with me, my heart skipped a bit when I couldn’t see any traces of Enea again.
I walked out of the room hurriedly, And surprisingly, I met Ariana sleeping on his Dad’s chest, While Liliana and Tyler watched them admiringly, a tear slipped down my eyes as I watch the beautiful moment.
“How did they get here?”Liliana whispered and I shrugged.
“I don’t know, Guess he took her away from me when I was fast asleep”
“Aw, they are so cute”She sobbed and I smiled.
Our chats seems to wake him up and he sit up while Ariana wrapped her tiny hands around his neck, fast asleep.
“Can you guys just keep it low?”He scolds and I smiled.
Her clothes has been changed too and she looked so beautiful in her tiny floral dress.
“Did you bathe her already?”I asked and he nodded.
“You can go back to sleep after preparing her food”He said simply and tried walking out of the rook but turned back again.
“And stop being so dramatic”He mumbled referring to Liliana and the latter stick out her tongue at him.
I chuckled and followed them to the room, He locked the door and dropped the baby on the bed.
“Did you sleep well?”I asked worries, even though, he looked like he has been sleeping for the past three days, But his aura was a bit different this morning, for good tho.
“Obviously”He mumbled, I grabbed his hand and smiled.
“Don’t feel guilty for the decision you made in the hospital, You somehow trusted me that I will hold on to the baby which I did, I’m glad for bringing Ariana to this world which could not have happened without you, I love you so much, Enea”I said, softly and he chuckled.
“Wow, I’m touched”He teased and stared at me for a while.
“You didn’t ask why I named her Ariana?”
“Why should I?, it’s a good name”I replied almost confused and he bring out his phone, he opened his gallery and show me a picture, I stared at him in shock and turned to look back at Ariana on the bed.
“How did they look so much alike?”I asked in shock and he smiled.
“This is my late sister, She had the same disorder like you too, I lost her at a very young age and I felt guilty the moment I saw Ariana, I’ve tried so much to push her many times but she stood with me, And this could not have happened without you, I love you so much, Alessia, And I promise to make it up to you and the baby”He kissed me breathlessly this time around and I melt in his arms, I reciprocated the kiss and moved closer to him, His hands on my butts, He squeeze the cheeks slowly and the baby shrilled cry stopped us immediately.
“Can you be considerate for once?”Enea turned to her and the latter increased her tears, I chuckled and carried her on the bed.
“I will feed her”I mumbled and turned to leave but he stopped me.
“Feed her here, Those boobs were once mine”He eyed me, I blushed and sat beside him on the bed.
FIVE MONTHS LATER…
It’s bene five months of pure Bliss between I and Enea, Mom business bloomed so much and Uncle Enea visited last month, That was when he recognized Enea, I was very surprised the moment I knew that Enea was the one that gave him the job, I was suspicious that the offer is juicy too, But I still appreciates him.
Enea became a doted and devoting father, I couldn’t ask for more, He hardly let go of Ariana, He puts her to sleep and lay on his chest all night, We made love few times in the past months, He was taking it easy with me because I’m still breastfeeding, Liliana gave birth to a baby boy last week and she’s coming home today, Enea handled the wheel as we are all in the same car, We got to the route where we are to turned to the estate direction but he drove straight.
“What are you doing?”Tyler asked and he chuckled.
“You will soon know once we get there”He chuckled and continued driving along the street.
I watched him hum to the music while his other hand was wrapped around Ariana legs.
Soon, we got to a big castle, My eyes bulged out at the sight of the building, It was very big and everything is in gold, Fleets of cars, A garden Filled with different flowers and domestic animals too, I turned to him and he smiled.
“What are we doing here?”I asked and Tyler turned to him in shock.
“Respecting my sister’s last wish”He mumbled and I turned to him in confusion.
We followed him into the building and Ariana was smiling all along, Liliana was still in shock as her gaze were everywhere in the room.
“This is so beautiful”She gasped in shock and he smiled.
Everywhere is screaming wealth and royalty!, Gosh!.
“Ariana wanted to live with me and my mom in a big castle once I starts working, I started working on this project the moment Alessia told me she is pregnant, I hastened it up when Liliana took in too, Now, I want us to live here for the rest of our lives, Happily, I’m sorry this came to everyone as a shock, I really hope you like it”
“Enea”Tyler called in shock and hugged him tightly, Liliana sobbed and I was dumfounded.
“Thank you”I smiled and he chuckled before pecking me.
This is really a dream come through, Ariana laughed throughout the time and we believed the dead Ariana came back to us, She’s the most happiest.
FIVE YEARS LATER….
AUTHOR POV
“I told you not to touch the flowers!”Ariana yelled in anger as he grabbed Brian ears angrily, He winced in pains and begged Ariana to let go of her ear.
Enea rushed into the garden immediately and rolled his eyes the moment he saw Ariana bullying him again.
“Ari!”He yelled and the latter pouted beautifully.
“He got me angry”
“You’re too obbsessed with the flowers, I will restrict you from going there”He threatened and she looked at him, unmoved by his threats.
“You can never try that, I will stop talking to you”She shook her head and walked out of him.
“Grandpa is here”He announced the she stopped in her tracks immediately.
“That old hag who won’t let me drink the wine in peace”she hissed before going to the garden and Mr. Romano yelled behind her.
“You little witch, Wait till I catch you”He threatened and Ariana ran away from him while the others laughed at them.
Later in the evening, Sophia, Gray’s wife arrived at the mansion, looking tired, Her big belly scaring the hell outta everyone.
She is due for labour two months ago but no one knows the reasons why she hasn’t given birth yet.
Alessia rushed to help her at the entrance and helped her sit on the chair.
“Have you been fine?”She asked worriedly and Sophia nodded, Looking tired.
“I’m fine, I guess”She mumbled, nodding carefully, Alessia watched her clutched her dress tightly and sigh.
“I experienced this too, Although, it’s not as severe as this but I know how hard it must have been for you”
” I missed my husband so much, I don’t see him anymore these days, He’s avoiding me”She sobbed and Alessia hugged her.
“He couldn’t bear seeing you in pains”
“I still want him to come home everyday and hug me to sleep, He hardly talk to me these days”
“I will talk to him”She assured her, Luckily, Enea entered the room with Gray and he was taken aback immediately.
Enea turned to him knowing what happened the moment and he sigh.
“Don’t come to this place for the next three weeks, Stay with your wife at home”He ordered and Gray turned to him in shock.
“You can’t do this to me”
“Of course, he can’t lose you, But you should be more considerate about your wife”Alessia butts in and he scoffed.
“You guys know too much about me”
“I want to see changes”Enea added before leaving the room with Alessia.
Gray ruffled his hair before walking to Sophia, He dropped to a crouch in front of her and stared at her, Admiringly fiddling the engagement ring.
She’s still the same Sophia he took in years ago, She is always flushed around him, Things has gotten better between them for the past years but ever since she started experiencing pains lately, Gray felt guilty for putting her in such condition.
“Have you been fine?”He asked softly and she looked up at him.
“Gray”she sobbed and hugged him immediately.
“I’ve missed you so much” she coaxed and kissed her carefully, She sobbed harder in his arms, He kissed her face over and over again and chuckled.
“I love you, And I’m sorry too”
“Don’t feel guilty, The baby will be here soon, Just hang on a little longer”She assured, making him wrap his hand around the bump and he chuckled.
“I know, I was just scared you will leave me”
“You know I can’t?”
****
“It must really be nice having a husband like Gray”Alessia huffed and Enea turned to her, with his raised eyebrows.
“What about me?”
“You only care about Ariana”
“You’re just being jealous of my baby”He chuckled and Alessia smiled before sitting in his laps.
Things have got so much better over the past years, Gray had a quiet but beautiful marriage with Alessia and Enea sponsored all the expenses, Sophia is a very good woman, Even she hardly talks and interact but really loves Gray, Gray insisted that Sophia is not always quiet anytime she’s around him ehihc always leave the rest in awe.
Kenny and Hayden got married two years ago, And of course, Enea insisted on not Hayden interfere into the Mafia business, He didn’t like it from the onwards, He just want to force himself on it to impress his father.
Alessia got all hed father’s properties and merged it with Enea’s own, She refused to do any business, Just want to become to doting mother to Ariana, Enea refused to let her have another baby because he didn’t want her to experience the truama she went through six years ago.
“Enea, I’m pregnant”Alessia muttered and Enea made her sit up immediately.
“What?”
“I am serious”She sighed and Enea chuckled.
“The family planning?”
It expired, the maximum is five years, I want to make another baby too.
“Ale..”
“Don’t worry, I won’t go through the experience I went through when I had Ariana, you’re here with me, Everyone iss here with me too”She assured him and he nodded, smiling.
“Thank you”
“You should treat me a nice meal later”
“Of course, you sly woman”He spanked her ass and she chuckled.
“I love you so much”
“I know you do”He chuckled staring at the tiny woman sitting on his legs.
They watched the sun set through the transparent glass, Enjoying each other warmth.
