Chapter 101

Alena

Matteo and I were at the doctor's clinic, the one we had went to during my first pregnancy. The moment we entered the clinic, I began to feel nervous and all I wanted to do was get back in the car but I knew we needed to confirm the pregnancy -this time, we had to take extra precautions in order to avoid what happened with Marco.

It was too early for us to be celebrating or excited about it. Even if we confirmed the pregnancy later, I was scared if we might face disappointment in the future.

This pregnancy was taking our minds away from the real problem, from the man who had kidnapped and tortured me. It was giving us some time off to focus on ourselves, our personal ves.

We couldn't take the time off for too long because the longer we lost our focus, the more plans the man could had. We were at risk regardless of what we did to continue on our lives, we weren't safe until we knew the man was dead.

It was needed to put an end to our suffering. He was slowly taking a toll to our lives, we didn't even realise how long we had lived in fear.

As for now, it was better to focus on my pregnancy.

I turned to look at my husband, seeing him burying himself in one of the women's magazines. It was the same thing he did when we first came here which brought a smile to my face because I realised just how much the pattern repeated. I didn't know if he even focused on the words in the magazine but I knew he was nervous as well.

I leaned on his shoulder,

"Yeah, what about you?"

"I'm alright."

You okay there?"

He nodded before sighing, "Actually, I'm a little bit nervous."

"I could tell," I replied.

"I'm not supposed, too. I need to be there for you,"

"We're allowed to feel nervous, Matteo. We went through a lot."

Both of his eyes were staring into mine and I swore every time he did that, I could feel him staring straight into my soul. It was as if he could unfold a few pieces of me and he could discover all of my secrets, even though I didn't have much to hide.

"You went through a lot, Alena. I wish I could turn back time and not put you through any of it." He said, turning to look

away.

I managed to catch his attention again by grabbing onto his hand. He looked back at me within seconds before he raised to kiss the back of my hand-the feeling of his warm and soft lips could never stop me from swooning. He knew how much his touches meant. "We through all of those
