Chapter 266

Emilia

Really, they look this serious about a pre-nup I though it was a given. “I don’t know why you guys looks so serious, I though a pre-nup will be a given, I mean we are talking about a lot of money and besides I have my own money like you guys know.” “Yes, sweetheart nothing against you but your money doesn’t come near to what we have.” “I know Antonio what I meant was I wouldn’t need your money if God forbid something does happen with us.” “Nothing is going to happen sweetheart this is forever we are not leaving you.” Antonio made me melt for a minute there and then bang “Antonio don’t, life is unpredictable and we can’t make a promise like that, we might not be able to keep them.” Dante said. “Well just so you know I’m all in and don’t see our marriage ever ending.” “Thank you, Antonio.” I know life chances but going into a marriage already thinking something might happen is not how I want to do it so to say I wasn’t happy with Dante’s comment is not an understatement. “I didn’t say I wasn’t all in I was just trying to keep everything realistic.” Dante went on. “Okay fine we are going of topic, the pre-nup, I’m fine to sign anything you want me to sign all I ask is that you look after the children financially if something might happen like Dante said.” “Angel, I didn’t…” I lift my hand to him to keep him quiet. “Off course we will look after the children as well as you sweetheart, you will get an allowance every month what you do with that money is your decision.” Antonio said. “I don’t need an allowance I’m making my own money.” “We understand that angel but that is what we want to do, like Antonio said you can do with that money what you want if you want to blow it fine if you want to save it it’s all up to you.” “And you won’t budge on that?” “No sorry sweetheart our minds are set on that.” “Okay fine, like I said I will sign whatever you want me to sign.” “Thank you for being so understanding sweetheart.” “No problem like I said I though a pre-nup will be a given.” Dante came to give me a kiss on the forehead and Antonio on the cheek then they went back to Antonio’s office apparently, they have a lot to sort out before Monday with the twins and their attorneys.

I on the other hand was done with work and was brewing over what Dante said, yes, I know life can change in a heartbeat but still no one wants to hear that before you even get engaged, I mean we are talking pre-nups and yes that is to keep everyone safe but still that comment was not necessary at all. For the first time I hoped Dante will go home because clearly, I needed a break from him tonight, was it pregnancy hormones that got me so upset with him probable but now I understand what he mend by he needed space because tonight I needed that space. I packed up everything and put it on a side table then I went for a walk I wasn’t feeling healthy enough to run yet so I chose to walk. When I got outside Luca was on the porch waiting. “I’m going for a walk but I want to be alone.” “Yes, off course the grounds are safe.” I felt bad for being so dismissive with him. “Sorry Luca I’m just upset I didn’t mean to take it out on you.” “It’s really okay Emilia I totally understand.” “I do want to talk to you when I get back if that is okay.” “Yes, off course I’ll be right here.” “Thank you, Luca.”

Antonio

When we got into my office I laid into Dante, “Fuck Dante was that comment even necessary we haven’t even asked her to marry us and you are predicting the end.” “That’s not what I meant I just want us all to stay realistic.” “I understand that but fuck did you see how disappointed Emilia looked when you said that.” “I didn’t notice.” “Oh my God Dante you really need to get in tuned with her and fast.” “I haven’t had so much time with her as you did.” “No sorry that excuse is not going to work for me Dante, you know you can stay here every single night but you need your alone time so you fuck off to your house leaving me to have to assure her or help her when she’s throwing her guts out in the toilet.” Clearly Dante got defensive when you put him in a corner so he retaliated with “So you are complaining to look after her?” “Fuck you Dante I will never complain and if you don’t want to be apart of this fine, I’ll understand in fact I will give everything up except the gallery if that is what you want but do not tell me I’m complaining I’m the one that is there for her always and make sure she feels secure in our relationship.” Dante went to sit on my chesterfield sofa with his head in his hands. “I’m sorry okay I didn’t mean it like that.” “Well clearly you are saying a lot you are not meaning today.” “Everything is just a lot for me that’s all.” “And you don’t think I’m struggling but to be a decent husband / fiancé / boyfriend to Emilia we need to deal with our fucking feelings differently, I know this thing with the twins is eating at you it’s eating at me to but I want Emilia and our baby more than I want the business and maybe that is the difference between us you still want the business more than you want Emilia…..”

Dante

I really need to go home and think about everything yet again I don’t know why I’m in two minds the whole fucking time. I’m not so secure in our relationship with Emilia like Antonio is but when I think about life without her, I get a pain in my chest and that tells me I don’t want to lose her not at all but still I have doubts how the fuck can I still have doubts. “I think you should go home and think about what you really want Dante if you have to make a pros and con’s list then do that but you need to figure this shit out before we let her sign documents and before we ask her to marry us. I will not let you hurt her never.” “She’s going to be upset if I leave tonight again.” “I’m sure she needs a break from you to especially after what you said.” “I’m really fucking everything up with my indecisiveness, aren’t I?” “Yes, Dante you are and tomorrow we are going for our first OBGYN appointment you will have to make that chose tonight so please go home now and do whatever you have to if you have to fuck someone else do it just get your fucking head straight.” “I don’t want to fuck someone else.” “Well then I don’t know why you like this then, so go figure it out.” When I reached Antonio’s office door Antonio called after me “and Dante if you are not all in don’t show up at the OBGYN appointment.” I didn’t have anything to say to that so I just left.
