Chapter-50

Few weeks later,

Riccardo's POV:

I sat in the living room, Fred sat in front of me. He kept nagging my ears off. It feels like he is almost chewing my brain.

I know situation is not in my favor, Riley and her family are underground, most likely in protection of someone. They are not easy to deal with.

I can feel the scheming going under my rule, Half of the dogs are by their side.

While only few loyal are by my side, I don't care anymore.

But what bothers me is the hesitation in between me and Cherish. She confessed, I loved every bit of it. We shared lot of passionate and sweet nights and days together after that.

I tried to get time for her, but I can feel how awkward she got. I couldn't understand why she is so shy all of a sudden. I have to push is too far to hear her say she loves me, every time her cheeks turn red, her eyes gets foggy.

Like she doesn't like the control she loses over herself, I am happy, but her being too cautious is making me wonder what's going in her head.

I saw her walking around the mansion, getting her everyday schedules up. I realized how attentive she got to her friend Jasmine over few calls, like she is paying attention to the casino.

I know she might be worried about Riley's matter, and trying to get busy, I actually over heard her that day. I need to fix this before her worries over power her heath.

I couldn't take her for vacation because of this mess.

I looked at Fred as I said, "Cancel the meetings from next week, I am going on a vacation...."

Fred said, "What!... you know the situation!!... They are about to throw you out of your power and you want vacation!!!"

I smirked they cannot do that, I will strangle them before that day arrives.

I noticed something, She is not wearing heels, she is avoiding wearing heals. That's out of her character.

Cherish was eating her sandwich. She is eating the same food for like 2 or 3 days, she is not wearing heels. She seemed to cautious with her moments and the way she walks... or I am just thinking too much.

She got picky with food.

As far as I remember, she was wearing flats yesterday...... no, actually she is wearing flats for whole week....

This is not her, it's not how she dresses up.

My worried signaled something. She looks pale too, am I right? For that day is messing my mind.

It can't be...

Why would she hide this if she knows?

She is really Pregnant....

I ignored Fred nagging, and walked to the dining area of the palace, I sat near her.

Cherish said, "Morning... I thought you didn't had time for me...."

I smirked, but my suspicious eyes never left her. I was studying her too close.

I said, "How can I?"

I leaned for a kiss, but she hesitate. Her eyes looked away, her cheeks immediately turned scarlet. She said, "Riccardo.... Fred is here... and I am eating..."

See this is what I mean... She got sweeter and shy too.

I still placed a kiss on her forehead, I warned, "I don't care... never stop me..."
