Chapter 57 - His Heart Aches
Soon that Alessandro came back with the gifts that he bought from a Pleasure Shop. She looked excited but she pouted at him for taking long. He gave the paper bags to her and caressed her hair. His eyes softened and suddenly sensitive while the betrayal that he witnessed entered his head. He walked around her back and hugged her suddenly.
"What's wrong?" She asked, feeling a little worried about his actions.
"I'm happy that you are happy." He mumbled and kissed her temple. "I love you, alright?"
She giggled.
"Alright. Let's go to our room. Let me check on these gifts."
They went upstairs to their room and watched her get curious about the things that she bought.
"Magic wand?" She asked as she lifted the pink wand with a round head. She read the manual and read it. "Oh," She put it away as she took another after another. "Why did you buy so much?" She asked and lifted the bunny outfit.
"I was thinking of you." He said while watching her.
"Hmm, really?" She grinned to tease him. "Let me clean these so we could use this for later."
Alessandro watched as his wife gathered it and put it on the basket with a towel over it. She left for the bathroom.
His mind swirls to what he witnessed. He thought of how he would tell his wife about the betrayal that the best friend she knew together with the ex-boyfriend was making him anxious and angry toward them. His wife had gone through a lot of unlucky experiences and yet those bastards were playing on his wife for a long time because of jealousy.
He reached his phone and checked the update. There are photos uploaded through email and he scanned the photos that they sent to notify him of what they were doing at the moment.
"Hubby!" She called out. He quickly slipped off from the bed, put his phone away, and approached her.
"Yes?" He asked as he hugged her waist from behind and kissed her cheeks.
"I just remember that I have to visit the office." She mumbled.
"Do it tomorrow." He hugged her tightly as he leaned his chin over her shoulder.
"Seriously, what's wrong?" She asked as she put the toys on the basket to dry them. She will notice his actions and he wanted her to know badly but it seemed to be not a good time.
"I asked the boys to visit us here in the villa."
"Well, that's great." She said as she took another towel to wipe off the toys.
"With their wives or girlfriend."
"That's even greater!" She sounded excited. She wanted to meet new people too.
"I have to tell you that Andromeda is a drunken woman. Then, there's Adamson's girlfriend. He actually kidnapped her or something."
"That's harsh of him." She frowned.
"That's because he somehow paid for her family's debts and he used her body as a pillow." He chuckled, thinking that it's what Adamson used to say, wherein truth, he did take her to his house and take advantage of her and make her fall in love with him. It's more of a Stockholm Syndrome that happened.
He saw the couple interact and Sophia was a little shy but she was accepting him after he spoiled her things nonstop.
"Seriously? What's wrong with your friends? They could have any woman they like and they choose someone that isn't really into them?"
"Men like us find it hard to find that perfect girl." He remembered their memories back when they were young and dumb. He's the first one who mentioned to his friends that he was in love and he'll marry her. They thought that it's just some weird thing going on when they are in love at a young age. At the moment, Zachary also mentioned to them that Andromeda was who he loves. The boys started teasing them for being dumb.
Now, they are married to the woman that they dreamed of getting married to. It's like a dream come true although lots of unlucky things happen on the way. It's not a perfect relationship at all.
A knock on the door interrupted their moment.
"Sir, Ma'am. Your visitors are here."
She quickly unwrapped his arms from her and rushed to the walk-in closet to choose a perfect dress. He chuckled as he shook his head and charged the toys using the power bank. Then, he watched as his wife made herself beautiful. She even put a light lipstick on.
"It's just them." He said.
"Their wives are beautiful and I should look pretty."
He watched as his wife made efforts for the girls rather than making an effort for him. Then, they went downstairs. He noticed his dad speaking to the heiress of the Dragon Empire. The two were laughing at each other while the husband was left out.
"Keira!" Travis exclaimed. Then, she hugged each boy as they introduced their wives or girlfriends to her. "This is my wife, Arianna."
"The best vocals in the country!" Keira complimented the time that she recognized her.
"She's the president of the Golden Age Entertainment," Travis explained to his celebrity wife.
"And that's a secret," Keira said as she held Arianna's hands.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Arianna smiled charmingly. Keira swore that she already had a girl-crush towards the singer.
"And this is my girlfriend." Adamson pulled the shy girl beside him. "Name's Sophia."
"Hello. I'm Keira." She extended her hand as Sophia gladly accepted it.
"You know, my Andy or Andromeda." Zachary pointed to his wife who waved at her. His gorgeous wife approached her and hugged her. Her cheeks heated and hugged Andromeda back. The time that they looked at each other face to face, her eyes sparkled. Another girl-crush that she can't resist.
"Ales, the girls will stay with me." She announced.
"Sure, have fun," Adamson said as he mumbled to his girlfriend's ears.
"First, let's have dinner," Karmina told them while the boys started mumbling about the surprise food that she prepared.
Karmina usually prepares food for the boys back when they were young. Every time that Alessandro invited them to Keira's house. The boys already like Keira since she's gifted and a very talented girl. They were also protective of her like Alessandro was and treated her like their little sister. That's why Karmina knew them well, their favorites that's why she asked the cooks to prepare it while she's helping with the cooking.
Keira and the girls became immediate best friends as they laughed and started talking about spa and music.
Sophia was a little shy but each of them was very attentive.
"We have different kinds of wines. Warren was the one who took care of it." She explained to the girls but Andromeda was the one to choose something strong.
"I think that I can't handle my alcohol well," Sophia said but still, she chose something lighter.
Alessandro watched as his wife had fun with his friend's wives. They can be her friends too. That's why he invited them. He'll make sure that she'll have the friends that she deserves.
"What's with the face?" Zachary asked when finally that they were distant from the girls.
"Yeah, I also noticed that," Travis said.
"I want my wife to have friends that she could rely on." He mumbled.
The dinner was one of the crowded and happy dinners that Keira had as the girls told something about their man. Mostly, Andromeda bullied her husband, Zachary but the couple was extremely lovable to each other. Sophia couldn't say something about her man, Adamson, or more like she's too shy to tell everyone about the hot things that they do.
Alex and Karmina who were also happy at that moment, Keira also forgot that she invited her best friends. But with these pretty girls around her, she easily got her attention diverted to something more.
Alessandro took the boys on the porch to drink while the girls were busy drinking in the great room, singing on the karaoke.
"So, what's the problem?" Adam asked.
Alessandro explained to them what happened and the boys were infuriated at the bastards who played on Keira's feelings. They were also Keira's friends back when they were young and they knew well that Keira was a kind-hearted girl.
"Tell me what to do. I"ll make sure that those bastards suffer." Zachary said with a hint of hatred. The boys nodded to Zachary.
"Such a thing happened to my wife too, and I won't let it slide," Travis said as he remembered how his wife, Arianna has been used many times by the ex-boyfriend. It's not just cheating, but they also stole her compositions.
"For your wife, the Golden Age is the best one to choose," Adamson said.
"The President is my wife and she was always careful and caring toward her artists." Alessandro told Travis.
"Yes, I'll convince her." Travis nodded. "And my wife could be best friends with yours. And it'll help her see something other than the friend you mentioned."
"I want to know more about them. I am currently stalking them." Alessandro said. "I just want your wives to be friends with mine."
"That's not a problem. My girlfriend doesn't have many friends after all." Adamson said.
"So, when are you going to marry her?" Zachary asked Adam. "With so much unprotected sex, you'll impregnate her."
"If she wants to marry me, then I'll give it to her." He shrugged.
"How can you be so nonchalant with that?" Travis creased his brows.
"You were also nonchalant when you elope with Arianna, right?" Adam said forthrightly.
