July 30th
The morning sun filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room as I stretched lazily in bed. Today, I had plans to go out with Solange and Ella, eager to escape the opulent confines of life with Lorenzo for just a few hours. But Enzo, as I affectionately called him, had other plans.
"Stay with me," he murmured, his voice a husky whisper as he pulled me closer. His fingers traced patterns on my back, sending shivers down my spine. "We can spend the day together, just kissing and feeling each other's presence."
I laughed, my eyes sparkling with amusement. "Enzo, my friends will find other people to hang out with. Besides, I need a break from all this luxury. A little normalcy won't hurt."
His eyes darkened with possessiveness, his grip tightening almost imperceptibly. "You're mine, Claudia. But if you must go, you'll have bodyguards. I don't want anyone hurting my wife."
With a resigned sigh, I agreed. Soon, I found myself at the mall with Solange and Ella, the bodyguards discreetly trailing a few feet behind.

"Their vibes"The trio indulged in luxury shopping, our laughter echoing through the high-end stores as we bought everything from Chanel to YSL and even a few Birkin bags. My shopping addiction was in full swing, and my friends were no different.
In a quaint baby shop, my heart swelled with emotion as I admired the adorable items. I gently caressed a tiny onesie, feeling a flutter in my belly as my baby kicked, making the moment even more special. Solange and Ella cooed over the baby clothes, their excitement infectious.
After our spree, we headed to a charming food court, settling into a cozy corner to gossip about the latest news and upcoming events. The bodyguards kept their distance, allowing us a semblance of normalcy.
**Lorenzo's Perspective:**
Watching Claudia leave with her friends, a pang of possessiveness gripped me. The thought of her out in the world, vulnerable, made my blood boil. I trusted her, but the world was a different matter. I had to ensure her safety, even if it meant having bodyguards shadow her every move.
I spent the day in my study, trying to focus on work but my mind kept drifting back to her. The way she laughed, the sparkle in her eyes, the gentle curve of her belly where our child grew. She was my world, and I couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to her.
When she returned, her face glowing with happiness, I couldn't help but pull her into my arms. "Did you have fun?" I asked, my voice softer than usual.
She nodded, her eyes twinkling. "Yes, but I missed you."
I smiled, my heart swelling with love. "I missed you too, Claudia."
As we settled into bed that night, I held her close, my hand resting on her belly. "Claudia, you're mine. Always. Every inch of you belongs to me, and I won't let anyone forget it. The way you move, the way you breathe, it's all mine. You're my world, and I'll fiercely guard what's ours, no matter what."
She looked up at me, her eyes filled with love and trust. "Always, Enzo."
