HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT
I was nine months pregnant and ready to pop the baby out of me at any time. Right now I’m in the room getting ready for dinner with the whole family, but we aren’t having it here. We were all going to gather at Serena’s house.
I had no idea there was a Violenta family house here in New York, just like in Italy. That was where Serena and Athena were staying. Alexander, on the other hand, has a place of his own.
Serena has invited the whole family to dinner tonight, which brings us to now. I was in an armless white gown, but it didn’t show much cleavage. I didn’t want anything too tight. My hair was immaculately done in a French twist, and my make-up was amazing. I did natural makeup, highlighting my cheekbones.
After I was done, I put on low, flat silver sandals and accessories. I looked at the mirror to make sure there was nothing out of place before making my way downstairs. Sin was already waiting for me downstairs.
He looked like he had just rolled out of a magazine. He had on a black suit with a white t-shirt and a white tie, which matched my dress. He also had on a pair of black shoes, polished to perfection.
His eyes snapped up when he noticed my presence, staring at me in awe. He walked towards me, bringing his hand up to help me down the last flight of stairs.
“You look beautiful, Amore.” He compliments. His eyes scanned me from head to toe, causing me to blush.
“Well, you don’t look that bad yourself.” I say to him, placing a hand on his toned chest.
“Thanks Amore. Shall we.”
“yeah.”
We walked out of the house to the car parked out front. Sin opened the door for me, helping me get in, then walked over to the driver’s seat and got in as well. The drive to the Violenta mansion was filled with various talks about the family and how the mansion came to be.
When we arrived at the mansion, I was stunned at how beautiful the place was. Whoever was in charge of designing the Violenta mansions and house was really doing a great job. Sin got out of the driver’s seat, rushing to my side to open the door for me. He took my hands in his, throwing his key to the chauffeur, and we both made our way to the porch or the house.
Sin pressed the doorbell, and we both waited for it to open, but we didn’t wait long as a maid opened the door, bowing slightly. His hand wrapped around my back, and we both walked in. I could hear the sound of a voice coming from what I was guessing would be the living room.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
We made our way to where the voices were coming from; Samantha, Alexander, and Stephanie were already here, and they were all chatting together with Serena and Athena. When they saw us, they smiled and got up from their seats. We all hugged each other one at a time, then Sin and I took a seat on an empty couch.
“You look beautiful, Mani.” Serena said, giving me a warm look.
I smiled. ” not as good as you look, Serena.” I said, and she laughed.
“I doubt that; you are literally glowing. Pregnancy looks good on you.” Athena gushed, smiling at me.
We heard the sound of the doorbell ringing. “I guess my parents and aunt Sera are here.” Stephanie said as Serena stood from her seat, making her way to the entrance of the house.
” My mom and your aunt are literally best friends now, they text and call each other more often. I don’t know how they do it with the age difference, my mom should be ten to fifteen years older than your aunt.” Athena jokes, looking amused.
“You know they don’t care about it, I’m just glad she has a genuine friend, who doesn’t hang out with her for money”‘ Sin said, he pecked my cheek, getting up from his seat.
Sin nodded at Alexander and he stood up, the both of them left the living room, leaving us girls alone.
“Speaking of glowing, look at you. “I point to Samantha. ” You are glowing, one would think you are also pregnant. You and Alexander must be hitting it off a lot. “I said, wiggling my brows.
Stephanie and Athena laughed when Samantha looked at me with wild eyes, clearly cut off guard. She covered her face with her plan trying to hide the blush.
“Why would you think that?” she muttered. ” Yes, things with Alexander and I are really great but we haven’t really done the deed yet”
“wait… what? ” Athena yelled, saying exactly the same thing I was thinking.
“What do you mean, you haven’t done it yet, you guys have been going out for almost five to six months. ” I was baffled not believing what she was saying. I have seen them together and they hardly keep their hands away from each other, not to mention the time Sin held me back when I asked her what she would have done and she agreed with me.
So hearing her say they hadn’t gone that far was so sure real, especially when it’s Samantha we are talking about.
“We have done other things but not that. ” she said in a low tone.
“Okay why, I don’t understand. Is he like a virgin, though I doubt that. ” Stephanie chipped in as well. Looking at Samantha like she was a kind of alien.
“Believe me as gross as this is, seeing, it’s my brother you are talking about. Alexander is not a Virgin” Athena cringed as she spoke.
“It’s not like we don’t feel the urge, Alexander doesn’t want to rush anything” Samantha explained. ” You know the kind of relationship I have been into, it’s always about the lust with no real feelings and Alexander knows about this. He doesn’t want me thinking he is like those other losers and I know he isn’t. I admire his effort for trying to make this work, now I know of the other fun things to do apart from sex in a relationship.” her eyes beamed with joy and contentment.
“You really love him. ” I whispered, a smile on my face.
‘Yes, yes I do. ” She admits without a second thought, a smile on her face as well. “speaking of men” She said facing Athena. ” Mani is with Nikolai, we know Stephanie is with a guy named Luca and I am with Alexander. So Athena, any man in your life.” she asked with a raised eyebrow.
The three of us had our eyes focused on Athena, I was also curious to know the man in her life. We have been friends for sometime now and she hasn’t said a word about a guy. I’m starting to think she was gay.
Athena looked at us nervously, gulping every second. She fiddled with her finger, looking at both sides to see if anyone was coming before moving forward in her chair and the three of us followed her action.
She wet her lips, looking at the directing Sin and Alexander had gone to before whispering. ” Yes”
“Okay, that’s great but why are you whispering?” Stephanie whispered.
“Because l don’t want Sin and Alexander to listen in on our conversation. ”
“Don’t you think they would find this more suspicious if they walked in to us whispering amongst ourselves and besides, you are a full grown ass woman, I doubt they will bully any guy you fancy” Samantha mumbled.
Athena rolled her eyes, letting out a frustrated groan. ” That is not the reason.” She paused, wetting her lips. ” It’s because the guy I’m seeing is none other than Lorenzo”
