Adrian

by MC Larios

They were each other's first love. Thought life was going in the direction they planned for. Then, from one night to the next, things weren't perfect anymore. She left, and he spent years wondering where he went wrong. Now she's back, and he can get those answers...maybe even a second chance.

Adrian

I met the love of my life at fifteen, and from the first moment I laid eyes on her, life felt like it couldn't be hard as long as she was always by my side.

That was until she left without a word or a proper goodbye on the night of our high school graduation party. I never knew why...

Until exactly 5 years later.

Life has a twisted way of taking away the things you love and deciding if it's going to give you that second chance or not. Life gave me a second chance with Aurora. And in doing so, it allowed us to show each other how deeply we are devoted to one another, blessing us with our little miracle.

Trying to understand why my first love got away and learning how to be a parent all at once is hard for anyone, but I'm not just anyone.

I'm Adrian Giovanni. The son of Adriel Giovanni and the heir of our mafia-- the next reigning king. Get ready for a bumpy and wild, sweetheart.

Aurora

I didn't mean to break his heart that night-in fact, I thought he was the one breaking my heart and making me look like a fool. It wasn't until I had already left Amalfi that I knew I was pregnant with the first child of the next Giovanni generation.

By then, I had called him, and it was too late- he had made his choice, and so had I. It's just my baby and me....or so I thought.

Adrian Giovanni has never been one to back down from a challenge. Foolish of me to think he would, for how beautiful our love once was.
