Gabriella opened her eyes slowly, she still wanna take a longer moment to sleep, she looked around the room, she was in the hospital but she couldn't remember why.
Jason slides his chair a little closer to her bed as he took her hand in his and squeezed it gently, "hey, baby." He said with a soft tone almost sounded like a whisper.
"Oh amore mio." Her father's voice reached her ear, wait her father and Jason in the same room together? This is not good.
She recollected all the power in her body and tried to push herself up but when she was about to, every part of her body began to ache, she fell backwards into the bed biting her lower lip painfully
"It's okay sweetheart don't move." Jason told her as he gently fixed the pillow behind her head.
"What happened?" Her voice left her dry lips like a whisper.
Jason glared at Sebastian who now bent down to kiss his daughter's head, "don't bother yourself about it, you're fine and that what matters night now."
Jason chuckled to himself, as his gaze met Sebastian's, "don't bother yourself? She's hear because of you!" Jason literally roared, pointing a finger at Sebastian who's now running a hand through his grey hair, then turned his attention to Jason, "don't start now rat because things will get ug-"
"Stop... fighting." Gabriella forced the words out of her mouth, the last thing she wanted now was to hear them moaning and bitching when all she wanted was silence.
The pair sent to each other a last glare before turning their heads towards her.

He slipped the tie from his neck, placed it on an end table, and started removing his cuff links.
Dear heavens, was he going to strip down just like that?
He nodded to the couch and smiled as if aware of a joke she wasn't in on.
"Have a seat,Mariah . I won't bite. I'm just getting comfortable."
There were moments that defined your life.Mariah knew that. The day she decided to get her MBA. The afternoon she and Claire found the building they eventually remodeled into the shop. Somehow, she knew, this moment with Armanno was another one.
She was a woman who took what she wanted and in that moment, she wanted Armanno.
"Good idea." She walked to where he stood and turned so her back faced him. "Help me get this off, will you?"
"Mariah ." His voice was a warning. And a promise.
"I just want to get comfortable."
His hands brushed her shoulders, teased the nape of her neck. She barely had time to take a ragged breath before his lips replaced his fingers and he pressed a soft kiss on the top of her spine.
"If I help you get the gown off, I'll have you naked and beneath me on that bed in less than ten seconds."
"I certainly hope so."
