Chapter 100
As the plane touched down on the estate's private airstrip, Monica, Stephanie, and Chiara felt a mix of relief and excitement.
They had been traveling for three long days, and finally, they were back on solid ground.
Stephanie, eager to reunite with Alessandro, quickly made her way to his suite.
She knocked on the door, and when it swung open, she was met with the sight of Alessandro sitting on the couch, a glass of whiskey in his hand.
He was currently sniffing one of Stephanie's clothes and this made a small smile play on her lips as she watched Alessandro.
Alessandro on the other hand didn't notice that Stephanie was in the room,his eyes were locked onto her clothes and the glass of alcohol in his hand.
“Amorie moi”Stephanie said, her voice laced with love and emotion
(Amorie moi means my love in Italy)
Alessandro recognized the voice as soon as he heard it, he shifted his gaze from the glass of alcohol to Stephanie.
His eyes widened in shock as he took in Stephanie's presence.
He stumbled to his feet, spilling his drink in the process, and rushed towards her.
"Stephanie?" he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion.
“Alessandro”Stephanie said
"Is that really you, or is it your ghost?"Alessandro asked
Before Stephanie could respond, Alessandro claimed her lips in a passionate kiss.
Stephanie's eyes fluttered closed as she melted into his embrace, feeling a rush of excitement and joy.
Alessandro's kiss was intense, as if he was trying to make up for lost time.
Stephanie's hands wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer as their lips moved in perfect sync.
The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in their own little bubble of love and desire.
Time stood still as they kissed, the only sound being the beating of their hearts.
Finally, Alessandro pulled back, his eyes locking onto Stephanie's.
"I thought I'd lost you," he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion. "I thought I'd never see you again."
Stephanie smiled, her eyes shining with tears.
"I'm back," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "And I'm not going anywhere."
Alessandro pulled Stephanie closer, hugging her tightly.
“Don't leave me again Amorie moi, life without you is hell, I felt so useless without you, my……”He said but he was unable to complete his statement when Stephanie covered his mouth with her hand.
“I would never leave you again”She replied
“I never knew I was addicted to you until you left, I'm sorry I didn't inform you about Kalus, I was scared”Alessandro said
“It's fine, I understand”Stephanie replied
“I missed you so much,”Alessandro said.
“You look skinny, have you started skipping your meals”Stephanie asked
“I just couldn't eat without seeing you, Steph”Alessandro replied
“Sit down, I need to get you some food,”Stephanie said.
She led Alessandro to the dining room, pulling out a chair for him.
Without a word, Alessandro sat on the chair his gaze never leaving Stephanie
“I would get you some food,”Stephanie said, walking out of the dining room.

Sara and Camelia sat on the couch in their suite, tears streaming down their faces.
They were consumed by grief, mourning the loss of Gabriel.
“I can't believe I would be losing Gabriel and Chiara”Sara said
“No mom, I don't want to lose Chiara”Camelia replied
“Hmm”Sara sighed heavily
“You always tell me that Chiara is fine, you told me…..”Camelia said in tears before she got interrupted.
“Enough Camelia”Sara replied, pulling the little girl to a tight hug.
“Do you think Chiara will be back from Kalus empire”Camelia asked
Sara let out a loud sob, unable to reply to Camelia's questions.
“Answer me mom, talk!!”Camelia screamed out.
“It's okay Camelia”Sara said, gently stroking her hair.
“I missed Chiara so much”Camelia replied
“Same here”Sara said
“You don't mom, all you’re concerned with is about Gabriel's death, that man hasn't showed us anything called fathers love, I don't even miss him”Camelia replied
“Don't talk to your father like that”Sara said
“I don't see him as my father”Camelia replied
“Enough, I need some space to think”Sara said
As they sat there, lost in their sorrow, a knock at the door broke the silence.
Sara looked up at Camelia, her eyes red and puffy.
"Can you see who it is?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Camelia nodded and got up from the couch, making her way to the door.
She wiped away her tears and took a deep breath, preparing herself for whoever was on the other side.
As she opened the door, her eyes widened in shock.
"Chiara!" she screamed, her voice echoing through the suite.
Sara's head jerked up, and she rushed to the door, her heart racing with excitement.
She saw Camelia embracing Chiara, tears of joy streaming down their faces.
Sara flung her arms around Chiara, joining the group hug.
The three of them stood there, holding each other tightly, as tears of happiness and relief flowed freely.
"We thought we'd lost you," Sara whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.
Chiara smiled, her eyes shining with tears.
"I'm back," she said, her voice filled with warmth. "And I'm not going anywhere."
The three of them held each other for a long time, basking in the joy of their reunion.
They had been through so much, and to have Chiara back safe and sound was a blessing they would never take for granted.
“Life was hell without you twin sister,”Camelia said in tears.
Chiara gently wiped her tears and replied”Same here sis, you have always been in my mind”
“Camelia has refused to eat anything for a week now, she keep on asking me if you're going to come back”Sara said
“I know Mom, Camelia is a crying type”Chiara replied, smiling.
“You don't have to blame me, I have never been separated from my twin for a long time like that”Camelia said
“Let’s go back inside”Sara replied, leading the twins inside the suite.
