"Congratulations on eight months," Dr. Vixenalle smiled. "Just one more month and you'll meet your twins. They have an almost perfect shot at both survival, normal and healthy life," she continued.

"I'm very happy, but I'm also scared. What happens if I'm not a good Mama?" I held my hand together.

"Don't say such thing, at first it'd odd, you're going to be responsible for another human being that you gave life to. It's going to be hard at first but It completely worth it," she told me, as she glided the transducer and move it on my abdomen that was covered with gel.

"How does the baby look?" I asked softly looking at the monitor as the two babies folds.

She smiles at me. "In three weeks, I want you to come by again to access your health of you and your babies by checking their fetal heartbeat, size and so on. I know that it sounds stressful but it will be done efficiently. I also want to discuss your birthing pain management during labor and delivery. Will Mr. Caruso be here in the next appointment?" she asked writing something down in her clipboard.

"I don't know for now, but I'll talk to him about it," I replied truthfully. I made my next appointment and then met up with Tiziana and Leonora at Rue des enfants baby clothing mall.

-

Since Tiziana and People at work found out about my pregnancy because of my revealing plump, Some were happy and some gossip me that my unborn baby is fatherless. Little did they know that Nicolo Caruso is the father and my beloved husband.

"Have you decided on a theme yet?" Tiziana asked as we strolled through Rue des enfants.

"No but Nicolo wants to hire a professional decorator to do the nursery," I told her.

"I keep forgetting that your husband is a business Guru with money," Ziana commented grabbing a box of baby diapers in two different sizes.

I sighed. "I'm getting stressed with the babies coming soon and Nicolo is not in good terms with Lorenzo. I don't know what to do." I rubbed my temples. And I need to tell him the truth before it will be too late. she thoughts.

"If you have any secret, you fucking need to let him know, Mia Cara," Leonora roars with a tired face.

"Why say so?" I asked the frowning Nora.

"I don't have any reason, I'm just telling you because Signor Nicolo loves you. Okay?" She nods at me.

I smiled at both of them as we exit to the next store. "I will, thank you,"

-

I told my husband about our company anniversary but he didn't comment on anything about it. i even called him on mobile that I'll be coming home late but all he could say was Okay.

"Mi Tesoro, Tonight is the company's 21st-anniversary dinner, I won't be able to come home for dinner on time,"

"Okay!"

It was weird about how he said okay without giving me lectures or someone to follow me about.

I entered the company complex, It was really beautiful, the decoration and other preparation look amazing. I was just putting on a tulle neck wing gown that covers up a little of my plump stomach. Tiz was talking to one of the fellow publishers from the other branch in Venice. Nora was just busy with a tray on her hand as she puts different cakes on it.

I feel a bit nervous because this is the first anniversary that I am being mixed with and also for Nicolo's behavior earlier, it makes me worry.

Talking about the Italian Grumpy man. "Nicolo?" I mouthed in shock. "What is he doing here?" I ask myself. He looks handsome with his hair bun as always. He was putting on a well-tailored suit with Alessandro looking all suited by his side.

Leonora walks up to me. "Close your mouth, Gisella, or do you want insect to fly in?" she said mockingly at me using her fingers to push my lips upwards.

"What is my husband doing here?" I whispered at her.

She looks at me with a dull expression. "He's a businessman, remember?"

"Oh!" I rubbed my back head feeling embarrassed at the fact that I forgot that he was not here for me but business purposes. Many investors and Agents are here too. They need him, he needs them.

She grins at my embarrassed face. "Ay! Go look after my man!" She mocks.

I walk up to him. "How come you're here today? why didn't you say anything about coming to the anniversary too?"

"To surprise you. You don't like surprises?" He smirks at me.

I blushed. Not wanting to feel melted by his charms, I frown at him. "You scared the hell out of me, Mio Caro!"

"Although Lucca Armani is the youngest son of the Armani family, he still has connections outside of Italy and he wants to collaborate with Signorino and Diego, but Signorino is doing it for Diego's sake to secure his future. " Alessandro says.

"Oh, that's why." I mouthed a relaxed face.

"This shameless bitch, Nicolo Caruso is already married and yet she still stays close to him" Bianca groans between mind discussion as she sips from her glass not letting her eyes blink not even for a second. "I cannot let her have her way," she added.

"Ceo Caruso, what an honor," Russo Durante says from behind them.

"Who do you think that am here for?" He rolls his eyes dramatically at Russo.

He giggles which made Gisella roll her eyes playfully at him as she sips from her juice. "Chief publisher, I am going to talk to Rosetta Ling," She winks at her husband and walks away from the three men.

Gisella, Tiz, and Nora were putting on a brief interview on Mrs. Ling. "Thank you, Mrs. Ling, I hope there will be a time in the future to walk together," Gisella yells softly at Rosetta as she rolls her eyes and walks away from them.

"Excuse me," Rosetta walks away to meet her rich friends.

"Gisella, why do I feel like Rosetta Ling looks down on us?" Tiziana frowns.

"Stop guessing, I just came here to see if she 's willing to collaborate with our publishing company. But she doesn't seem to need an interview from us," Nora added.

"Collaborating with her will increase our team worth," Gisella added with a smile.

-

"Thank you, Bianca, for doing this for me." He thanks her with all happiness revolving in his voice.

Bianca smirks evilly at him. "You can do anything you want, Signor, you just have to make sure you destroy her as planned and I want you to rip open what is between her legs and make her suffer from a miscarriage, I hate her." she spats.

"Don't you dare say you hate her. I have paid you half the amount you want, I'll send in the rest by nightfall," He smirks, grabbing Bianca by the throat. "All you have to do is make sure she takes in this juice." he freed her and handover a glass of freshly squished fruit juice to her.

"I will make sure she has it," she replies and he walks away from Bianca.

"I'll make you regret passing my path. Gisella Molinero!"
