Lorenzo Mancini is cold, heartless and ruthless, in the business world he's known as always being merciless and unfeeling in the boardroom. Until a chance encounter with a woman with the most mesmerizing eyes catches his attention. Aella, she's the...
I finish up the nursery admiring my work. The walls had been painted last week and all the furniture were set up. Baby clothes fill the closet and 10 boxes of diapers sit on the closet floor. There's a rocking chair in the corner and a small sofa. Finally, one less thing to worry about.
"Enzo!" Aella screamed. Being 37 weeks pregnant has made her crankier, I'm afraid to touch her while we sleep now, remembering the last time I did.
Aella tosses and turns in bed trying to get comfortable, she grazes her arm against mine.
"Don't touch me, you give off too much body heat." She hissed, staring at her she kinda looked like she was possessed. Her hair was everywhere and her eyes were crazed.
"Do you want me to turn up the AC?" She quickly turns her head at me like the girl in The Exorcism.
"No." She firmly said, shit she's creeping me out. Is this what pregnancy does to you? Turn you into a possessed woman. I shake my head, no it can't be it's just her hormones.
The next day after the incident she was sobbing to me and apologizing for her behavior, said that she's never acted that way before saying it was a different person. I bet, it sure did feel like a different person.
"Yes Amorina?" She's sitting on the couch munching on popcorn while watching her favorite tv show, it's about some cowboys running a ranch. I never understood why she's always watching it.
"Can you grab me the garlic parmesan kettle chips please." She licks her fingers than digs in for more popcorn.
"Anything for you Amorina." Heading to the kitchen I search for her favorite chips.
"Enzo! Come quick please!" Dropping the chips I run to the living room finding Aella standing with blood running down her legs.
"It's the baby, you have to bring me to the hospital quick." I grab the hospital bag by the door and pick her up, running to the car. I strap her in and break many traffic laws getting to the hospital.
Jumping out the car I run in.
"Help! Please, I think my wife's having a baby." Nurses and doctors immediately come out putting her in a wheelchair.
"Enzo, don't let anything happen to our baby please." She begged. I hold her hand while following them.
"I promise Amorina." I won't let anything happen to either of you. They push her to the back one of the doctors stop me from entering.
"Sir, only authorized personnel beyond this point, you'll have to wait over there." He points to the waiting area.
"I love you Amorina." I yelled loud enough so she can hear.
"I love you too Enzo." She yelled back.
I take a seat and pray in who knows how long. I pray to God to not please take my happiness away, I pray that everything will be alright and I pray that they won't make me choose between the two because I don't think I can make that choice.
