The Millionaire Saint -
Chapter 39
Dayana Berlusconi
I wake up wrapped in Donovan's arms and it's already a habit... well sometimes I do it alone because he goes to his personal gym even though he pays for a membership in a golf club that has all that included, I stir turning until to be able to look at his face. He seems relaxed, he told me that his doctor asked to see us both and she also told me that before she frequently remembered the moment when he was kidnapped. Every night he was tormented by the same nightmare and now that I am with him he can sleep peacefully, he feels at peace and that makes me very happy.
I touch his cheek and then his jaw where his beard makes my palm sting, Donovan begins to wake up and his blue eyes look at me for several seconds. He closes them and then opens them after several minutes with them closed, he sighs and presses me against his body, he smiled. "Good morning," he murmured.
-What are you doing awake so early? "He," he questions after looking at the time on his desk clock.
"You snored like a bull," he frowns.
"Liar," I laugh.
"Actually, I woke up and watched it, Mr. Bristol."
"A stalker," he says.
"Better say that I'm an admirer of how beautiful he looks while he sleeps," Donovan smiles and moves to position himself on top of me.
"I like it when you're that way," he whispers. I feel comfortable with you, Dayana, I hope you know that you are very important to me now," she announces.
-You have also become very important to her, she would blindly give everything for her to be happy.
"Mr. Bristol," his brow furrows, it's strange that Jean comes here to call him.
-Is something wrong Jean? -He questions.
"Her mother asks to enter the apartment," he looks surprised.
"Let him wait in the living room," I can feel him tense.
"Everything will be fine," he looks at me and nods.
Donovan tries to get out of bed, but I hold him back by wrapping my legs around his hips. He looks at me confused and I reach out to give him a chaste kiss and then another followed by several more until he smiles. -What are you doing? -He questions.
"Make him smile, you can't make this beautiful morning bitter from one moment to the next, I refuse to let that happen," I scold.
"You did it, I feel better," he kisses me and I release him, Donovan gets out of bed naked.
"Beautiful view, Mr. Bristol," he turns and places her hand on his hip.
-Do you plan to stay there? "He questions, I bite my lower lip." Dayana, my face is up here," he scolds, but it's a complete distraction.
"I'm coming," I get out of bed to go up to him and stick to his body, I put my arms around his neck.
"There's no time," he complains because I shamelessly rub against his erection. Dayana," she protests.
"Sh..." I make him carry me. To the shower, he walks there and I turn on the water, he presses my back to the wall and he melts inside me. -Isn't there no time? -I question.
-There is no going back.
(...)
Showered and happy we get dressed, Donovan has a beautiful smile on his face that pretty much reveals what he was doing, he helps me with the closure of my dress and I look for my engagement ring on the table where there are some jewelry that he bought me Mr. Bristol, I take it off at night to sleep or when I'm going to shower to avoid losing it, it's beautiful.
-Come on? -I nod and we leave to go to the living room holding hands.
"It's unusual that you make me wait so long," she says when she sees us.
"Mother, if you came here early then it's not my problem," she announces, we walk to the couch and sit down, I caress her hand to keep her calm.
-I had done it before and you were always willing...
-Before he was a single man. Now I take time to attend to certain matters, and as always they are direct with anyone.
"I don't want to know that," he gestures.
-What do you want? -She takes out a magazine from her bag where we appear on the front page holding hands at the event in Stockholm where Donovan announced our engagement.
"I want an explanation about this," she blurts out, "How is it possible that you're getting married and I'm the last to know?" The worst thing about all this is that it was through a gossip magazine, you didn't answer my calls...
-What do you want Sonia? "She," she questions seriously. I'm getting married, going on my honeymoon and returning to my company, what's the problem? She-she stands up.
"You don't even know her," she points out.
-I know her well enough for her to become my wife.
-Did you realize it? -She questions.
"I know everything," I intervene, taking her hand.
-Dayana, she is my fiancée and future wife. Why shouldn't she know about my past? She-she asks-don't you have the idea that I'm going to make her happy? -She questions.
-You killed my daughter! "She," she exclaims angrily.
"She was my sister, I tried to protect her and you don't know the pain she went through, you don't know anything," he says, looking at her with anger. You didn't stand there while they raped her, begging for my help, you don't know anything," she clenches her hands into fists. -It was your fault! -Shouts.
-Donovan is not responsible for any of that, he was not the one who shot it, I remind her, she looks at me with hatred.
-What do you know? You're just a whore and a freeloader," she blurts out, she didn't let him punch her because she's Donovan's mother.
-Jean! "She," she exclaims and soon he arrives. Get her out of here and never let her in," she orders.
"You're ungrateful," the woman tells him like a harpy.
-And you're a bad mother, you don't know everything I've been through because of your rejection.
"You're not my son, she," he blurts out. "You're a nuisance in this life, Henry Bristol's bastard," she leaves after saying those things, Donovan doesn't say a word while he remains motionless. "Hey," I hold his hand and end up being hugged by him, he sobs. "Everything is fine," she caressed her back, she moved back to sit on the couch, forcing me to sit on her lap.
"I knew it," he whispers, "he told me before he died, but my affection for her was greater than anything, I didn't care that she wasn't my real mother and I still loved her as such," he reports. -Why do you keep helping her? -I question.
-My father left everything in my name, properties, investments. I became his universal heir, Sonia was left with nothing," she says. "I couldn't leave her, but from that moment on I hate myself like never before and I think she kept everything about herself until my father died," he pauses. -When I arrived at the mansion I was a baby, my mother was Henry's lover who ended up pregnant, but she died during childbirth and they left me at the door, they did a paternity test on me and my dad was a good man, he would never leave someone helpless. her son and I force her to take care of me as if she were my real mother. No one was going to replace out, there couldn't be scandals, especially when her company was beginning to flourish," she tells her story.
»I always felt indifferent to her, but when Valeria was born everything changed and she began to treat me better until I forgot her bitterness. I never thought it was because of that and when my father died, he confessed it to me and I didn't care, I see that it was the best thing he did otherwise I wouldn't put up with so much indifference from him," I nod.
-Even so, her rejection hurts you, but you must transcend and see her as someone else in this world, do not let her hurt you and I will not allow you to feel pain for her-he kissed her forehead. No one can harm you, you are strong and a great man.
