This Isn't My Idea of Love

Chapter Thirty-Two: Antonella's Return

It was early September before Antonella returned to Barcelona with Estella, she had brought the little girl to meet her father straight away and Viola couldn't help but hate the woman before even more for what she was doing.

Antonella smirked as she handed her little girl over to Lionel, who stared at her mesmerised; he couldn't believe that there was a chance that he had fathered such a beautiful little girl.

Viola held Thiago close as she watched her husband with the other woman’s child, she felt sick at the thought that Estella might be Thiago’s half-sister.

“Shall we do the DNA test now?” Antonella asked sweetly as she produced a DNA test, she looked at Lionel who nodded his head before he moved to set Estella down so that the DNA test could be done.

“How do we know that you won’t fake the results?” Viola asked as she glared at the other woman, she didn't trust Antonella for a moment; she knew that the other woman was up to something and she didn't know what it was.

Lionel looked at his wife before he turned his attention to Antonella.

“If you’re so worried about me faking the results why not have Thiago tested,” she said making Viola furrow her brow wondering what the other woman was playing at.

Lionel nodded his head as he looked at his wife, he knew that she didn't like Antonella but if Estella was his daughter then he needed her to be civil with Antonella.

“I don’t see any harm Viola, we both know that Thiago is mine,” Lionel said making the brunette nod as she accepted that it would seem suspicious if she refused.

Antonella rubbed the swab on the inside of Estella’s cheek before she placed it in the plastic tub that had come in the pack.

“Your turn,” Antonella said as she produced a second DNA test while Lionel moved to do his own; Viola sighed as she took the test from the other brunette and moved to use it on Thiago.

Antonella smirked as she settled Estella into her car, she couldn't believe that it had been so easy; she glanced back at the house knowing that when she was done, Lionel would never trust Viola again.

Hurrying to get into her car, Antonella pulled the three DNA tests out of her bag and after checking that no one could see what she was doing; she switched the DNA samples from Estella’s and Thiago’s bags.

Sealing the two bags back up, Antonella looked at the house as she wondered how Lionel would react when he learnt that Thiago wasn’t his son.

Antonella licked her lips as she put the bags back into her bag, she knew that she was about to destroy another woman’s life and that she had no right to really hate Viola; in fact if it wasn’t for Lionel then Antonella knew that she would love to be friends with the brunette.

However, Viola had taken Lionel from her even if Antonella had never truly loved Lionel like the other woman did; Lionel belonged to her and nothing would stop her from taking him back.

Antonella looked back at her daughter; she stared at her for a moment wondering briefly about what Estella would think about her doing all of this.

Antonella wasn’t stupid, she knew that one day all her lies and betrayal would be discovered; she hoped that her daughter would understand that she had done all of this for her.

“Time to go home,” Antonella said as she looked at her daughter, she knew that soon everything would fall onto place and when it did; Viola’s entire life would collapse around her.

Sitting down on her bed as she brushed her hair, Viola tried to settle her stomach of the uneasy feeling that had taken hold of her when Antonella had left with the three DNA tests; she didn't know what it was but she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

“You ready for bed?” Lionel asked as he looked at his wife, she jumped at his words and looked at him having not heard him enter the bedroom; she nodded her head making Lionel sigh as he sat next to her.

“Lala, what’s wrong?” Lionel asked as he brushed some hair from her face, she had been quiet all day since Antonella had left and he knew something was bothering her.

The brunette relaxed into her husband’s touch as Lionel moved closer to her, he slowly started to kiss down her neck as he admired the honeysuckle rose chemise that she was wearing.

“I have a bad feeling,” Viola murmured as he continued to kiss down her neck, the brunette closed her eyes as she allowed Lionel to draw her closer; Thiago now slept in the nursery meaning that the couple were alone.

“About what?” Lionel asked as he nibbled down her neck, this was the first time that the two of them had been even remotely intimate; Lionel had missed being able to be with his wife like this.

Viola bit her lip as she opened her eyes and carefully pushed her husband away, she knew that she had missed his touch but she had to get this off her chest before it was too late.

“I don’t trust Antonella… she’s up to something Leo and it scares me what she could be willing to do,” Viola said making Lionel look at his wife, he knew that she was right but right now that didn't matter as long as he had her.

“Whatever happens… whatever Antonella has planned, you will always have me,” Lionel promised her; he cupped her face as his brown eyes searched hers, Viola felt her heartache as if knowing that Lionel was going to break his promise.

The footballer gently kissed his wife, he moaned at finally being able to touch her like this; he pushed her onto her back and climbed on top of her.

Lionel knew that he was going to have to be careful, his hands moving down her body; he pushed the material up as his hands finally met the skin of Viola’s thighs.

“I’ve missed you,” Lionel murmured as he started to kiss down the tanned skin of the brunette’s neck, she moaned softly as her fingers tangling into his hair.

Viola knew what he meant; they hadn't had sex since before Viola was seven months pregnant, the brunette pulled Lionel’s lips back to her own.

“We have to be quiet,” Viola whispered as she glanced at the baby monitor; she knew that Thiago could wake up at any time and right now she needed Lionel to show her how much he loved her.

Lionel nodded his neck as he started to push her chemise up over her hips causing Viola to bit her lip to stop herself from panting; she couldn't believe how turned on she was just by him touching her.

“I love you,” Lionel said as he pulled off Viola’s pink chemise before he pulled off his boxers; setting between Viola’s parted thighs he kissed her neck again softly.

“I love you too,” Viola whispered as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips, she knew that if this was the last time that she got to be with Lionel then she was going to take her chance.

Viola knew that whatever Antonella had planned wasn’t going to end well, she had a feeling that it would cost her Lionel and she wasn’t sure what she would do when that happened.
