POV: Hayley
I woke up to another sound coming from downstairs. Donato had invited Richard to dinner once Hunter agreed to be calm around him. He was freaking out because of Jewel's labor potentially starting.
Everyone was busy downstairs, preparing for this 'intense' visit. I sat up and slowly removed the needle from my hand. I was still on glucose, still having problems eating a full meal, it was overwhelming me for some reason.
I found glucose to be much better, it made me feel better and stronger. I drank some water and went to the closet. I wanted to wear something good tonight. "You're up already?" I heard him ask me as he stood near the closet door.
"I just woke up," I answered him and scanned through all of my clothes.
"You feel well?" He asked and pulled me closer in a sudden hug. I felt his genuine concern in his voice.
I couldn't help but see a glimpse of worry on his face. "I'm good. You're back early?" I asked. He didn't give me any answer, instead cupped my chin with his right hand and kissed me shut. I kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his head.
"I got done early." He answered as he let go of my lips and caressed my busted lip with his thumb.
"Why did you go, anyway?" I asked him, turning back to the closet.
"Just to arrange for some things to be shipped out."
"Like?" I questioned, not being convinced.
"I was sending out some arms." He smirked slightly.
"What's that smirk for then?" I asked and turned to him, a dress in my hand.
"I brought you something." He said and gave me a bag. "It's a dress for you, a very reminiscent dress."
I nodded and moved my nails slowly up and down on his forearm. "So you would let me attend right?"
"Not particularly for Richard but the food." He said; I chuckled. I put the bag down on the floor and hugged him.
"I'm ready."
"For?" Dona asked.
"To discuss our plan for Xavier." I felt him sigh and tighten the hug.
"Tomorrow, please? Let's enjoy this dinner." H suggested.
"I'd love that." I smiled at him and pecked his lip. "Now, let me try on that dress. You should shower." He nodded and went out of the closet.
I closed the door shut and undressed. I opened the bag and took out the dress, laying it out on the counter in the middle of the room. It reminded me of the same red dress I wore at that gathering.
It was almost a replica of that dress, just a few shades darker than that dress. I smiled to myself and put on the dress. I was just about to admire myself in the mirror when a knock interrupted me.
I opened the door and found his eyes gazing at me. "You're staring, Boss," I said and chuckled.
"Should I not?" He said as I walked back to the mirror.
"This dress is very reminiscent of something," I said, fitting the dress properly on my chest.
"Something like?" He asked.
"The gathering, the fights, and the sex." He suddenly zipped down the dress and kissed my bare back.
"I only heard the last part tho." I chuckled at his words and felt his fingers move down my back.
He moved his hand further down, reaching my hip bone. I let out a soft gasp as he started to slowly touch me. "I'll let you know tho."
"What?" I looked at him in the mirror as he slowly kissed my neck, still touching me.
"If I rip this dress apart, you can blame your ex-roommate." I couldn't help but bite my lip at his statement.
"I was going to go take a shower," I said, teasing him.
"Then you should have the perfect reason to clean up." He said before he pushed me forward, pinning my chest against the mirror.
He slid my hair away and kissed roughly on my shoulder and back. I turned around and pinned his back against the mirror.
POV: Donato
"Good thing you just showered." She said and removed the towel around my waist.
"You're going to get out of this dress on your own or should I do it?" I asked as she rested her hand just above my dick.
"I won't have you rip apart another beautiful dress." She eye-rolled and turned around, walking off to the door. I saw a smirk on her face before she walked out, the dress barely holding onto her chest.
I went to the closet door and saw her closing the bedroom door. I sat on the bed watching her. "So, you're putting up a show, Donna (Woman)?" I asked, watching her as she finally let the dress down.
"I'm just enjoying myself." She said as she walked up closer to me, setting her hands on my shoulders.
"Now, this is the Donna I fell for," I said, softly smiling at her. She seemed to return the thought and the look.
I rested my hands at her waist, playing with the edge of her underwear. "Now, back to business," I said, sliding down her underwear. She stepped out of them and kissed my neck.
"I'm a business?" She whispered in my ear as she kissed it. "I must be a pleasurable one then."
She moved down, kissing my chest, my abs, and my v-line. She rubbed my tip; looking into my eyes. I grabbed her neck softly and kissed her shut. She started rubbing my cock, rougher as I bit her lip.
She moved away with a gasp. "Lay down," I smirked and laid down.
POV: Hayley
I rubbed his dick and sat in front of the bed. I sucked his tip and rested my hands on his abdomen. I pulled away and licked his length. He sat up and grabbed my chin again, kissing me as I rubbed his cock.
He pulled me up on my feet and kissed my abdomen. I played with his hair. In a swift second, he turned me over, making me lay on the bed. I giggled at the sudden action and kissed him shut as he positioned himself on top of me.
He kissed me back, placing two of his fingers on my clit. He pulled away and looked at me as he pushed his fingers in me. "I can take my pleasure later." He said and started to finger me, rubbing his fingers smoothly in and out of me.
"I'm sure you will get..." I got distracted from my words as they turned into moans, soft. He groaned in my ear. I decided to take charge and so I did. I turned him over, straddling him. He grabbed my waist, slowly moving his hands up my bare back.
I bent down and kissed him. He grabbed the back of my neck and I placed my hand on his inner thigh; I got a groan out of him as I start rubbing his balls. He bit into my neck as I kept rubbing and massaging him. I pulled away and placed my hands on his chest.
"Go on, put it in." He said, putting his hand beneath his head, laying down all relaxed. I didn't like him not doing the work.
"Your job, you do that," I said with a slight smirk and confidence. "Boss." I let the smirk appear wide on my face.
He moved his hand and swiftly put his cock inside me. I let out a softened groan and then opened my eyes to him. "I don't like it when you do that."
"You might as well start liking it." I started moving slowly on his cock.
"Don't tell me what to do, Donna (Woman)." He said to me, almost growling at me. I couldn't help but be satisfied with my attempts, I loved annoying the fuck out of his man sometimes.
"Maybe you should stop." I interrupted myself with my soft moans. "Being so arrogant."
"Maybe you should stop talking, Amore." He said and pulled out suddenly. I looked at him confused as he carefully got up, placing me on the bed. He stood in front of me and I looked at him, closing my legs a little.
"I said stop talking, not spreading your legs." He pulled on my ankles, twisting their positions, turning me over my stomach. I giggled softly at his sudden action. He slapped my ass cheeks before pulling me by my waist, making me arch my ass out to him.
"Sometimes I hate you." I snarled sarcastically at him, peeking at him from over my shoulder.
"Sometimes." He said and pushed his dick in me again, grabbing my waist firmly. "Sometimes is good, Hayley." I heard a soft chuckle leave his mouth.
I groaned and moans as he started thrusting in me. I grabbed one of the pillows and his thrusts got faster and rougher. He bent over me and grabbed my hands off the pillow. He held my hands and restrained them behind my back.
"You're just annoying me at this point." He groaned out and I let out a soft chuckle. I let out a loud moan as he pushed into me. He pulled out and turns me over on my back. I looked at him and wrapped my legs around his torso.
"I think you love that." I mouthed to him and he smirked, placing his left hand on my right breast. I bit my lip as he adjusted himself in front of me. He pushed back into me and bent over, coming closer to me.
I placed my palms around his neck, keeping his face closer to mine. "I think I love you too," I said and chuckled softly at him.
"Hmm." He hummed and kissed me shut. He moved faster into me, grabbing my wrists above my head.
I moaned louder as he went on pounding in me. "You're close to finishing?" He said, licking and kissing my neck while thrusting in me roughly. I nodded in agreement and kissed his ear.
"Good. Follow my lead." He said and pulled out of me, pushing back into me
I let out a loud gasp, almost a scream as a response to his movement. I wrapped my left hand around his neck as he buried his head in my neck. He started thrusting roughly and fastly into me; I felt the tension build up, and we both were close.
He gave a large thrust in me and I let myself go. I came around him and wrapped both of my hands around his neck. I heard him grunt and groan in my ear as he gave another thrust and came in me.
He looked at me as we both began to catch our breaths. "You're right." He whispered and pulled out of me slowly. He laid beside me and I looked at him.
"What?" I asked, confused by the sudden statement.
"I do love your ways." He chuckled softly and ran his fingers through my hair. I giggled at him and turned on my stomach, getting closer to him.
"How's Jewel? Did Hunter tell you anything?" I asked.
"She will be fine. The midwives said the water has broken and labor should come in a few hours. If not, they will induce it." He replied.
"That's good...right?" I asked, being truly nervous for her.
"Of course. Why would it not be?"
"I'm just nervous for her. She was not prepared to bear children. What if she freaks out and something goes wrong?"
POV: Donato
She became quiet after stating her worry. I knew that look very well, it came whenever she was taken back to a memory. "What gives you a reason to think that?" I asked.
"How much time do we have?" She asked, regarding the dinner.
"Enough to hear you," I said and there was a nervous pause between us.
"When I was 10, there was a maid who was giving birth one night." She said and balanced herself on her elbows. "It was very...panicked that night. You know how curious I am, I wandered into her room."
I nodded listening to her curiously. "I saw the way she struggled, she closed her eyes being tired. The morning after they took her child away, she wailed as loud as one can." I sighed. "Jewel has two children to birth..."
"She will do good, I know you know that too." I kissed her lips and cheek. "Go clean up, we need to be downstairs in a few minutes," I said to her, changing the subject.
"Alright." She sat and stood up. "And..." I looked up at her. "You don't lay a hand on my dresses again." I laughed as she practically ran to the bathroom. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind.
I need to show her the email about Marcus' truth.

POV: Hayley
I brushed my hair one last time and rushed after Dona. I caught up to him and we both went downstairs, waiting in the living room for Richard's arrival. "Where's Hunter?" Dona asked one maid who was going upstairs.
"In his room, Sir. Do you want me to call him?"
"Ask him to at least show his face once." He said to her.
"Perhaps it's a good idea to not bring him down here," I said to him.
"Why?"
"He has a girl in labor plus he doesn't have control of himself right now," I explained and wrapped my arm around his back.
He nodded in agreement. "He can just say hi to him and go back. I don't want to seem like I have anyone to hide." I nodded hesitantly, being confused.
Our attention went to the driveway as a car pulled up. I gave Dona an assuring look and went to the kitchen. I was suddenly thirsty. I heard a chatter rise from the living room. I assumed Richard brought someone else too.
I took a deep breath and stood behind the wall separating me from the living room. I waited for the right time.
"Now, what about my final payment?"
POV: Donato
He asked me and I looked at him firmly. "There will be no payment. You know I made no use of your men." I stated.
"That doesn't make our deal null and void, does it, Armani?" He questioned and handed the man behind him his suit coat.
"It doesn't. That's why I'm not asking for my money to be returned." I sat on the couch with him, he gave me a suspicious glance.
"I want the money. You didn't use my men but you did make use of my resources, one way or another. Plus, is your girl? You shouldn't be making these demands if she is still out there to be killed."
"Is that a threat, Richard?" I said as a maid came in, serving us water and drinks. "You would be very wrong if you think that," I said.
"Is that so?" He questioned.
Hunter came down and greeted him then looked at me. "I'm going to one of the midwives' homes."
"Why?"
"She just needs some supplies for Jewls." He said. Before I could ask anything, he went out of the main door.
"Midwives?" Richard questioned. "Why do you have midwives?"
"Because we need them. Back to business, Hayley is back, and I no longer need your resources."
I said. "I have kept my eyes on you." He said, his mouth was left open as he glanced behind me. Why was he in shock?
"Roman would've said the same if he lived." I heard her and turned around.
She stood right behind me, resting her hands on the couch. "You're-"
"I'm Hayley. Nice to meet you again, Rich." She said. Somehow my attention went to the way she nicknamed him.
I stood up as Richard did and walked closer to her. "How do you know about, Roman?!" He roared at her.
"Why wouldn't I know? I killed for him." She said and stepped forward. I saw the man who came with Richard, reach slowly for his gun.
"I still remember his last words. Those were very mature words for a 4-year-old." I watched her expression change from confidence to pride.
"You're that assassin?"
"The same one." Richard took a shocked and deep sigh.
"How do I believe you? Roman was someone close to me." He said, still not satisfied with her.
"He was your son, Wallace. If you don't believe me, perhaps you will believe my memory." She said and pointed to the couch.
We all sat down once again. "He was kidnapped, assaulted. I believe his rapist was a man called Sam." I looked at her as she finished speaking.
"I've always been grateful to you, Assassin," Richard said suddenly. "My son meant a lot to me." He sighed and said something to the man behind him.
"Now do you believe me?" I asked. He nodded slightly.
"I don't usually let go of my deals but you avenged my son, because of you I had the chance to say goodbye to him," Eagle stated.
"Then do me one favor and let this deal go." She said.
"This one time, for my son's sake." He said and stood up. We stood up, preparing to greet him bye.
His tone seemed softer than usual, he was emotional I assumed. "Give Sonia my regards." She said to him.
"Thank you for remembering my boy." He said, almost chuckling. I nodded and shook hands with him.
"You're lucky to have her."
"I know that very well," I said to him. After a few seconds, he and his man walked out. I took a deep sigh.
"You didn't tell me about his boy," I said to her.
"You didn't ask." She said and chuckled. "He seemed like a sweet boy." She sighed and kissed my cheek.
"You mind coming to my office right now? I have something to show."
"Let me just change." She said and went to walk upstairs. I held her back by her hand.
"Don't," I smirked at her. "I might take you out."
She nodded a yes and I took her to my office.
