Continuation of I still love you

Everyone takes their seats, Carmella was sitting on the middle chair facing and middle chair at the left-hand side which probably concluded belongs to Riccardo.

But he was not present.

Bella rolls with a young girl of 18 years old, looking the same as her, you can tell she's her daughter due to the resemblance on their faces.

Carmella sit upright, a soft pillow was placed at her back to make her feel comfortable while sitting since she's soon come to a mother. 

Her eyes play on everyone on the table, they seem happy, and smiles cupped on their faces, it seems the world has changed its color. So life can feel this peaceful.

Violetta and the hard young lord see unseparated, her eyes fish on Lucia and Mia, holding hands. She wasn't surprised because all through her staying in the mansion she had never see a man with Lucia maybe that explains everything to her, she's probably gay. 

So, Mia was the lucky woman that caught her hard heart. She's just like her fiery boss.

Something is missing, someone's close to her heart, Bianca daughter 

Her heart race to the remembrance of her last word to Alfonso that they had a daughter.

She hits her hands hard on the table, a bit hard on her which draws the attention of everyone. 

"Carmella, what's the issue?" Bella asked looks worries at her terrified face.

"Bianca daughter, she had a daughter with Alfonso that the last word she said to him before, before.." she couldn't finish her words. 

Bella left her seat and stands beside her back, place her hands on it to calm her down 

"I know, but we couldn't find her"

She glanced angrily at Bella, "what do you mean!? How can I lost all my family members, she was the last I have!" 

"Yes, I understand but that doesn't mean we're going to give up on her, trust me "

She takes a deep breath not to too stress herself up. "Please I don't want to lose her," she said calmly as her eyes were watery for tears to runs out. 

"I promise" Bella ensured her that, her niece can't go missing, she's the only family member she had now and she believes she would as beautiful as her mother Bianca.

She wants to protect her the same way Bianca protects her. She just wishes she's alright in a safe place. The others remains mute as they watched her crying in silence. Violetta tried to put down her worries and bad thought, ensuring her Bianca daughter must be found and bought to her safety. 

It's was about 60minutes before her mood changes, all ate happily, and yet no sight of Riccardo's on the table. Like he chooses to lock himself away from her presence.

When she meant space, she didn't expect it to be this way, She wants to see his face and smiled at him, all will be fine with her by his side but he was no place to be found.

Matt noticed the way her eyes were moving around the dining hall. 

"He's not coming," he said and continue eating his meal. " Huh?" Carmella asked confusedly, what did he mean and how come he knows she was searching for him with her eyes.

"Riccardo, he's not coming so stop wasting your time and eat" Violetta hits him on his arm. "Don't you know you're talking to my friend? She's queen remember" she mumbled.

"Hmm," he sighed, spread his hands widened in the air. "What can I do without you, just feels like kissing off your lips" 

"No, not my lips" she warps her hands over her mouth avoiding Matteo's kisses. The two silly couple makes everyone laughed at the table. She smiled looking at them with the silly play they're displays maybe Violetta is right. Riccardo needs someone by his side.

And that's her.

After the meal, everyone locates in their chamber include her too. She was supported by her trusted maids under her care and don't forget Bella, who happily to play the role of a mother in her life. 

She was laid straight on the bed and cover with the massive bed sheets. 

Bella place a warm kiss on her forehead just the way she used to when she was younger. 

"Please, sleep well," she said and drift out of the chamber, shutting the door behind her since she was the last person to leave.   

Carmella tried to shut her eyes but she can't, her gapes kept on the door view waiting for minutes for him to walks in any second but still, he didn't show to her expectations. What must have been keeping him away from her, is he avoiding her? The thoughts kept coming in before she dozen off in sleep. 

The next morning, the birds whipping wakes her up. The maids didn't come to disturb her sleep, giving her more time to rest herself no early routine that morning. Since she's pregnant, things have to been done carefully with her, if not someone's head has to be chop off by the boss if there's any complication in the pregnancy.

She turns and checks the little gray clock on the side of the bed. It's 7:00 am still early to wake up, she plans on drifting off again but no sleep came. This is a stress to her, 

She gets up, walks slowly toward the window. It's was beautiful, the day was beautiful, the sky color was lovely sky blue, the little birds pierce on the blossom trees around the garden. Since she has been in the mansion for months, she hasn't come across this view of the estate before. The maids were all busy with their morning routine, some were sweeping and others were pruning the lawn of the garden. 

It seems peaceful and relaxing, she yawns hands spread her hands "What a lovely morning!" As her yawning came out. 

Then she spotted her devilish prince, Riccardo. He seems calm sitting on one of the beaches under the tree in the garden, watching the maids with their works. 

The white long hand shirt he wore displays his beautiful appearance, he looks stress with his hair stomping on his face covering his eyes sigh. 

He indeed does seem messy but charming. He lift his head as he had already had a lot in his mind to do.  Carmella stomp at his magnificent appearance, bit her lips as she stares at him from far. The morning sun displays it beautiful shine on his skin which makes it looks shiny. 

She wonders what must have gone into him that his mood remains this calm even to the maids too. Has he changed? She thought, cupping her face with smiles at him.

He drops his head down. He was fucking worried that Carmella would never put the past behind her. He knows what he did was wrong but he had to that the only way he could save her was by sacrificing her parents. 

The estate had three buildings, one was used for the damn whatever mafia hood for all the activities carried out, no one lives there, they call it the secret building. While the other was the one everyone lives in and the last, 

The last was his building, that where he had been spending the night. He has full himself with expensive whiskey to wash out all his pains and sins but no seen to work. He only came out to see the view, it's has been over seventy years since he thought of that when his mother was still alive. 

The maids and all the male workers who do their daily duties on the estate compound every morning want to run off before he steps close but he stops them from running off and continues their duties.

They were an ultimate surprise, what had come over the mighty lord that he let them continue their duties right in front of him. This is unbelievable! 

He had been sitting there for two hours now, thinking what to do to please her and stop the continuation of the mafia hood. 

It's a bond that needs to be a break. It stops the ritual and sacrifice of humans which has been carrying on from generation to generation. He had to make it as a simple organization that didn't involve blood so the forefathers of the Francesco spirit wouldn't torment him. 

Fucks!" He mumbled, driving an immediate fear to the bodies of the workers, they turn, stares at him, he seems not interested in them so they continue their chores. 

He felt an unmovable glanced at him from a far distance. He turns and saw her staring, he bends his head side to side to be sure if he's not dreaming or reality playing with him that he's imagining things but it was her. 

Carmella was shocked when his gaze turns to her side, she wasn't expecting him to turn. What will she do now? She was so sly of a sudden gaze, should she bend down her head or looks away? She just can't and continue her staring contest on him. She hide all her smiles not to give him the room she had forgotten what he did. 

Then he smirks slightly on his lips side and looks away. What!? He looks away from her? Who the hell did he think he's? She's the one who is supposed to look away not him! He's the one at fault here not her! She was so boiled up in angry that she can't even hold it any longer.

"Go to hell asshole!!!" She yells and shuts the window door hastily.

Immediately, the workers stare at him, if he was going to react to that but instead he remains still and chuckled, continue his view like nothing happened.

"What a crazy mother she's going to become," he said. 

"How dare he look away!" She smashes down the pillows, displaying everything that belongs to the bed down in anger.

"I'm the one who should have looked away not him!" She throws the pillows angrily at the door entrance, landed on Bella's face. 

"Carmella?!" She calls, suddenly she stop but the room was already in disorder. 

"Why the mess? You're not two years old" Bella complained. "Well, it's all his fault" she stomps and sat on the bed. Causing the maids to giggle, Stops when Bella turns to them.

"Who?" Bella asked pretending not aware of who she was referring to.

"Who else? the father of my unborn child!" 

"Oh, he's the father, I thought you said he'll never be the father of your child" Bella sat close to her on the bed.

"Huh?" She asked confused.

"Okay, it's alright, it's time for you to take your bath, clean, and looks likes a lovely mother to be"

"Okay," she grumbled.

She lead to the bathroom, takes her bath dress up, and added light make-up on her face. Bella wasn't understanding her ways of change, she suddenly demanded it. Was she trying to beat Riccardo with her looks? 

Bella wonder, 

She looks at the mirror and smiled, seeing the satisfied look she demands, 

"Now, let show that asshole who's this mansion" she mumbled, stood up from the stool sitting close to the makeup mirror, adjusted herself gently as the stunning woman she addresses herself to be. 

She turns to the surprised looking maids,

"Let's go" she steps in front of them not even waiting for anyone to support her nor even Bella 

Bella was astonished, it's true women change when they are pregnant.

 The dining table was set as yesterday, nothing changes, and no sight of Riccardo's either. Was he going to continue to do this? Cause it fucking boring to her.

The two cat lovers continue their silly ways again, never getting tried because Matteo never wants to also with Violetta.

Others on the table have got enough of their toy act but all seem fine to Carmella, afar Violetta was happy to be with him, she also is happy with her friend.

She just hopes Violetta's parents should accept Matteo without any complication. 

"Carmella!" Violetta suddenly calls, drawing everyone's hearts to race.

"What?" Carmella replied with a fast heartbeat. 

"Your belly is getting big" she pointed at her stomach. Carmella looks down to it also with the following eyes around her. 

Yeah, it's true, it seems big now. 

Carmella smiles and touches it.

"Mummy loves you" 

After the meal, she joined the ladies in the corridor to get off her pisses on Riccardo cause now, she's pissed off! For he not showing up on dining table for two days now. 

There was a mini chat between them and it goes on and on. Mia's eyes never see departed from her. After their mini discussion about motherhood. Mia meets her privately.

"Hi," she said, interrupting her view on the corridor with a glass of wine in her hand.

"How are you doing?" She goes on.

"Fine" Carmella's eyes didn't move from her view. "I know I and Aria has hurt you by playing to be a good friend to you"

Carmella turns to her, "it all in the past now" she smiles. "I have nothing against you" Mia quickly hugged her. "Thanks, Carmella, you surely have a good heart" 

Then night falls, and yet no sight of Riccardo's. She slept alone as always, she kind of miss his touch and aurora around her. What the fuck is he doing?

It continue for a week, liked he choose not to be around her. Is he afraid of being a father? 

She drifts off to sleep, a hard hand plays its way around her boods, she was struggling to open her eyes, feeling it's was a dream.

But the hands never stop there as they continue moving, down to her warm thighs.

"Baby" a voice whispered in her ears.

"You're fucking warm"

Penetrating his finger into her core. Immediately she opens her eyes shockingly, saw a shirtless-looking goddess man laying on top of her.

"Riccardo?" 

"Sh sh sh" he placed his finger across her lips. 

"I have waited so long for this" he kissed her glossy lips softly, "I see you want to look sexy for me today, I have begun watching you all day but can't keep myself away from you again" 

Speaking with the lustful  urge, 

So, he was watching her along for a week now? She wasn't surprised beside all she wants now was his burning touch on her. 

"Baby, I need you" she urgently exotic replied and kissed him back roughly.

The two have been burning for each other for a week now, the chance has come.

"Have you forgiven me?" He asked beneath the kiss. "Yeah" she horny answered.

He takes off his finger, hands wrap around her waist, to get a better chance of kissing the woman he loved. 

"Shit!" He groans

"What?" Carmella asked to his worried face.

"My monster can't wait"

She smiles and wide her legs, "I'm always yours" 

"So, you have been dreaming to do this?"

"Maybe we should keep it to the next day"

"No!" He fucking groans, "I need it now"

He zip down his zipper releasing the monster he had kept there for long. Carmella widened her eyes for the size of his monster. 

"Big right?" He teases tossed away his trouser.

"Yeah, fucking big" 

She wasn't even wearing underwear in the first place, which makes it more easily for him since she was only wearing a pinky short gown for her evening naps.

He put it gently inside her, careful pulling in and out, don't want to go too hard on her since she's pregnant.

"Fuck!" Carmella moans, enjoying everything bit of his manly playing inside also with his hands playing justice on her boods.

"I love you Carmella" he moaned

"I love you too"

The lovers continue with their sexual acts.

He was kept in the dark, finding it difficult to see since his eyes were plucked out. He cried in silently having no idea where he was kept in. The fear of death scared him the most, Riccardo wants his death to be painful and sorrowful. He didn't want him to die that easily for all he has makes his queen went through. 

He felt a slight of light shine upon him. That means one thing the devil is back to torture him. 

He struggles to shift away painfully on the hard ground. 

He smirks devilishly like he saw something that amused him, the fear of the might Leonardo. 

"Why are you running away from your own shadow," his demonic voice said.

"Please, forgive Riccardo"

"Riccardo?" He walks his steps closer to him and bends down to view the dying sinking man.

"You look must better this way" he used his hand to lift his rotten face.

"Yes that way" 

"Please I begged you to let me died peacefully, Riccardo"

"You forget to add king but not yet brother" he chuckled devilishly.

"No!!!" He screams at the top of his voice, the torture continues.

It's was raining heavily down the city, a girl of 14 yrs old was kept in a comfortable room, with the surrounding of powerful political men on black.

The little girl down her head in fear, the way the men stare at her, she missed her mother. 

"I'll be back, am only going to get your aunt back. I promise" 

That was the last mother she heard from her before leaving, she cried but her mother refuse to let's go, all she wants to do was to bring back her niece.

She waited for days, from days to weeks, from weeks to months, and yet a no sight of her mother. 

One of the men stood up from his seat and sat closer to her. Taps his hand on her shoulder, 

"We're sorry for what happens to your mother"

The words strike her to her bone, was that the reason they came here? To console her about her mother's death? Her mother is dead! 

She looks at the man behind her as tears easily found they're out. 

"Your mother's death was caused by the Francesco heir who seek nothing but power and revengers. All she wanted was to save her niece from them but those bastards ends up taking her life" A man sitting with the others angrily said.

The little girl can't hold on to her cry as she bit on her lips to suppress her voice from yawning out, hands warp on bitterly as the name Francesco rings on her head.

"But don't worry you're under our care now," the man sitting beside her said, hands still on her shoulder.

There's one saying her mother taught her, never slow down when your enemy strikes you, you stikes back as soon as possible don't wait for it twice

Her eyes went rages.
