Chapter 97

Angelina POV…

**flashback continues**

After some days, my father had a heart attack and died. I was not sad that much because, after Mother, I was completely out of his way.

I became possessive of Sophia. We had sex when I was only 14 and she was 13. We spent most of the time together, but I was always near her like a shadow.

But 5 years later, I found that Sophia was pregnant. She didn't want the child, but I was ready to take responsibility. I was begging her not to abort it because I had no one except them. I was begging her again and again when she slipped on the stairs and our baby miscarried.

I blamed it on her. I was becoming abusive because of my past trauma. I would come home drunk and then have sex with her.

One day, Caleb asked me to join rehabilitation. I denied that I was fine, but I knew I was not. I needed treatment. So after making me understand for a month, I agreed and joined there.

I was getting better day by day, but the most strange thing was that never, for once, had Sophia met me. I thought maybe she wanted to surprise me. I asked Caleb, but he ignored that.

So when everything was completely fine, I came out I expected Sophia to stand there for me with a smile on her face and I would then apologize. But instead of her, I found Caleb standing there, happy. I asked him about her, but he said she was busy.

I ignored that negative feelings and asked him to drop me at my home.

I took a bunch of flowers and entered our home. When I entered, I found some strange noises. I moved towards it and found Sophia moaning with someone on top of her licking her breast.

(“When will you leave, Lorenzo?" he asked.

“Soon because I am bored with him already, that's why I aborted his baby," she said and kissed him. I couldn't hold back and barged inside the room.

“Bab... "she was going to say more when I punched that fucker face and kicked his dick. Sophia quickly wrapped the sheets around her. She was going to say something when I shouted, “Get the hell out of my house, you bitch”.)

I was shattered and destroyed. After her, I had one-night stands. I would play with them and then throw them away.

Caleb knew everything about my breakup with Sophia and her cheating ass. He supported me.

During the day hours, I completely drowned myself in my company and my work. And at night I would be a drunk man who had a new woman every night. "

**flashback end**

He turned towards me and looked down. I held his chin and moved his face upward, I found his eyes completely red. He was crying in front of me. I was also crying for his suffering. I hugged him tight, and he wrapped his arms around me as well.

“Please don't leave me, Angelina, please I can't live without you both," he begged, I nodded no and then asked.

“ But what were you doing with Sophia? You both were…" I couldn't complete my words because I cried in his arms.

“ It was all her plan, baby girl, nothing happened between us. I swear baby," he said and wiped my face clean from the tears.

He kissed me so hard and so passionately. “I need to punish you baby girl for leaving me and resigning” With that, he took me to the bed. While my baby was sleeping in the crib.

Soon the night became more passionate and more romantic, where I moaned and Lorenzo groaned in pleasure.

____________

The next morning was as bright as our future. We spent the day together with our baby boy, Luca. It was the first time we had all been together as a family, and I enjoyed everything about it.

It was not his fault, it was mine. I should have talked to him, but now everything was done. And I was determined to make our relationship work. We had both made mistakes in the past, but we were both committed to building a better future together.

We started the day by taking Luca for a walk in the park. He pushed him in his stroller while we talked and laughed. Luca was cooing and babbling, and he seemed to be enjoying the fresh air and sunshine and his father's company.

After we walked, we took Luca home and fed him lunch. Then Lorenzo played with him for a while. Lorenzo threw him up in the air and caught him, and I tickled his belly. Luca giggled and laughed, and Lorenzo was looking at him with moist eyes. My heart melted.

After Luca's nap, we took him to the library. We checked out some books for Luca and then sat down in a comfy chair to read to him. Luca listened intently as Lorenzo read to him. I was also listening to him patiently. He seemed to love hearing his father's voice because he was looking at him calmly like an adult.

After the library, we took Luca home and bathed him. Then I put him to bed. Lorenzo insisted, and I let him tuck him in and kissed him goodnight.

We had our dinner, and then we sat down on the couch and looked at each other. I was exhausted, but I was also incredibly happy. I had a perfect day with my family.

I looked at Lorenzo and found him already looking at me, he leaned in and kissed me. It was a soft, gentle kiss, full of love and promise.

I was taking care of Luca as I had taken some days off from work, while Lorenzo went to have a meeting with his new client.

I put Luca in a crib when my phone started ringing.

“Hello?” I said.

“Angelina,” Lorenzo said. “It's me.”

“Hi, Lorenzo,” I said. “What's up?”

“I need you to do something for me,” he said. “I need you to get ready and come to the beach.”

“The beach?” I asked. “Why?”

“It's a surprise,” he replied. “Just trust me.”

“Okay," I said. “I'll be there.”

I went to my room and took a shower.

I started getting ready because I was excited about the surprise. I had been excited about his surprise, wondering what he had planned.

I had already done my hair and makeup and was now putting on my dress. It was a beautiful, flowing dress in the color blue.

I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. I felt beautiful and confident after so many days. I was ready to see Lorenzo, my life.

I finished putting on my dress and checked my watch. It was almost time to go. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. I was ready for whatever Lorenzo had planned.

I put on my shoes and picked up my purse. I took one last look in the mirror and smiled. I was ready to face the night. I had asked Ava to babysit Luca for me today for some time, and she agreed with pleasure because she loved Luca.
