His Only

Chapter 16

Klaire giggled rocking the cooing baby boy in her arms, she was in his room on the rocking chair keeping him on her lap waiting for him to fall asleep, Emily came inside feeling her heart flatter seeing her 3 month old son asleep in Klaire's lap,

"Shhh... Malcom just fell asleep" Klaire said, carefully placing the baby boy in his crib and walking out through the door and into Emily's room,

"So... the gala is in 2 weeks and I need a dress as the Mafia brothers' wife. Well one of them" she says excitedly,

"I would love to help, I can't wait" Klaire replies as the two start planning,

Emily goes into the closet silently, and takes a thick book out and walks over to Klaire, she hands her the book and Klaire takes it giving a suspicious look towards Emily who chuckles in-return, Emily takes a seat next to Klaire on the couch,

Klaire turns the pages and her eyes widen with amusement, it's all sketches of Emily's ideas, she had seen a few of her sketches come to life in her big boutique.

Marcus comes in, his eyes softening seeing his beautiful wife on the couch, who has had a major transformation after the pregnancy, she still has her pregnancy fat but she's been pushing herself for a month straight, with a concentrated diet and 3 times a day at the gym, she has high expectations for herself.

"Lunch is ready" Marcus says placing a kiss on Emily's forehead and leaving,

"You guys are so public" Klaire exaggerates gnawing,

"Honey if you just gave your man a chance you'd get twice as much as I did" Emily says wiggling her eye brows,

"I'm taking it slow" Klaire retorts getting up along with Emily to head for Lunch since the men are probably waiting for them,

"Guess I'll die of old age before seeing you guys get married" Emily says while Klaire scoffs,

Klaire stopped thinking about leaving for sometime, it had its effects on her, she's falling for a guy she's trying to escape, and she knows how much its going to hurt him when she leaves, thinking about it put a weight on her heart,

The simple thought of her running away makes her heart feel heavier, like the air in her lungs have been sucked out, her shoulders become heavy and her eyes start to tear up, and she hated the feeling of guilt that surrounded her,

"Finally!" Marcus exclames, Ricardo chuckles calling the maids to bring the food since the ladies have finally come,

Klaire takes the seat next to Ricardo, who tangles his finger with Klaire's, she gives him a gentle smile making Ricardo's day just brighten up,

5 minutes into lunch and the baby monitor next to Emily start to cry, Emily checks it to see that baby Malcom had woken up,

"Ugh... he's up" she announce about to get up but is stopped by Klaire,

"I'm done eating, I'll go while you guys finish lunch" she thanks the head cook who stands aside until their lunch is done with and cleans the place up with the help of the maids,

"Marcus any news this year?" Ricardo asks the second Klaire had closed the dinning room door and went straight to baby Malcom's room,

"I asked Jack and honestly I don't think he'd come this year as well" Marcus says handing his empty plate to the maid,

"Well I'm not taking a chance, you and Emily enjoy yourselves at the gala and tell me if anything important comes up" Ricardo says about to get up when Marcus starts,

"Oh come on Ric! He won't come this year, he hasn't for 6 years! Word goes around saying his daughter ran away and he's depressed, he even gave his mafia to his son, who in my favor is a horrible at running it"
