Isabella's POV

After taking a shower, I put on a floral maxi dress. Then I went downstairs. Silvia was in the living room. She greeted me dryly. She had been so distant and cold towards me the last few days. I didn't understand why she acted towards me like this.

When Alessandro and his father, Federico arrived, we started having dinner.

When I was having dinner, suddenly, I felt a slight pain in my stomach. I pursed my lips together as I placed my hand on my stomach. As Alessandro noticed that something was wrong with me, he gave me a worried look.

A few seconds later, it passed. When I looked at Silvia, she looked at me, puzzled. I instantly pulled my hand away from my stomach and bit my lower lip nervously.

Did she understand?

After dinner, I went to my bedroom. I didn't feel good. I had been feeling slight pains during dinner.

I washed my face and went back to my bedroom. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Alessandro walked in. He closed the door and approached me. I gave him a tender smile.

"Did you feel pain? You looked pale." He asked, concerned as he rested his hand on my bump and stroked it gently.

"Yes, I had felt slight pains." I replied.

"Are you better now?" He asked in worry.

"Yeah. It passed." I responded, giving him a warm smile.

"I will make you a doctor appointment for tomorrow." He stated, rubbing my belly.

"No, I am fine. Don't worry. It passed. The doctor mentioned these kinds of pains." I said.

"No. I feel relaxed if the doctor checks up on you." He refused. "And don't worry. I talked to your doctor in New York and asked her to inform your new obstetrician about your state." He added and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

****

Alessandro accompanied me to the hospital today. The doctor, Mrs. Morelli informed me that everything was good and my baby was healthy.

After leaving the hospital, Alessandro suggested I went to their countryside house to spend time together.

I was leaning against his chest while we were watching the fireplace. It was dark outside. We spent the whole day together here, making love, talking and so on. I enjoyed spending time with my lovely husband. We were so happy till Alessandro received a call from his security chef. He informed Alessandro that the man, who accepted to give the documents which could approve Alessandro and his father's innocence, was killed.

"Alessandro, everything will be fine." I turned towards him and stroked his cheek gently.

I hated seeing him sad. It made my heart sink.

"Bella, I don't know what to do anymore. This bastard manages to elude every time." He confessed, running his hand through his hair and breathed deeply.

"Baby, you will find a way to get rid of this problem. I believe you. Don't forget you are Alessandro De Luca. There is nothing that you want, but don't get it." I reassured, giving him a smile and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.

He gave me a sad smile, placing his hand on the back of my neck and leaned his forehead against mine.

"You are the light when everything is dark." He commented, stroking my hair and brushed his lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I responded to his kiss.

He started unbuttoning my shirt without breaking our kiss and leaned me back against the carpet. I was just wearing his shirt. Meanwhile, Alessandro was only in his sweatpants.

He traveled his hand up and down my chest, sending delicious sensation throughout my body as he got rid of the shirt. I groaned as he bit my neck. He moved his lips from my neck to my breast. He was sucking my nipple, torturing me with his tongue and lips. I arched my back. He moved his lips up and rejoined our lips. Our kiss was so intense. I ran my hands along his bare back, kissing him in the same intensity. I gasped as he shoved his two fingers inside me. I gripped his hair tightly making him groan and pursed my lips together. He increased his pace while placing several kisses on my neck.

"Alessandro, please...." I mumbled, moaning.

He grinned arrogantly as he pulled back. He instantly pulled his sweatpants and boxer down and leaned over me. He smashed his lips against mine and slammed his length into me. I groaned, closing my eyes shut. He held my hands above my head and increased his pace.

Our moans filled the room while our bodies moved in sync. I screamed his name out as I came. Alessandro slammed inside me one more time and came, screaming my name out. He collapsed on my body and rolled over. We were panting. It was....mind-blowing.

As our breaths got normal, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into his chest. I rested my head on his chest. He placed a soft kiss on my forehead and stroked my hair. I closed my eyes slowly as my eyelids got heavier.

"Bella mia, wake up." Alessandro said, stroking my cheek tenderly.

I opened my eyes, yawning.

He smiled and said. "We have to go back. It is late."

I nodded, dazed and looked around. We were still laying on the carpet near the fireplace. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Alessandro got up and extended his hand towards me. I smiled as I held his hand and got up.

Alessandro parked his car in front of the gate. I gave him a puzzled look.

"You go first. I don't want my parents to see us together. Otherwise, they will ask a lot of questions." He explained.

I bit my lower lip and nodded. I hated keeping our relationship a secret.

"Bella mia, I know you don't like it, but I don't have another choice." He confessed as he held my hand.

I sighed as I opened the door without saying anything and got out of the car.

When I walked into the living room, there was no one in here. A few minutes later, Alessandro walked in. He wanted to approach me when Silvia came down the stairs.

"Oh, Isabella you are finally here. I called you a few times, but you didn't answer." She said as she approached me.

"Umm....My battery ran out." I lied.

"Someone called from the hospital and asked you. You forgot your jacket there." She informed.

"Oh." I mumbled, looking at Alessandro.

"Why didn't you tell me you are pregnant?" Silvia asked, offended. My eyes widened in shock.

"Umm....How...." I murmured as I gulped nervously.

"I got worried when I received a call from the hospital. So I asked why you were there." She replied. "Who is the father? Do we know him?" She asked, giving me a questioning look.

"He..." I mumbled without knowing what to do and looked at Alessandro nervously.
