Two days later...
VICTORIA'S POV...
"Did you take out your luggage, Lisa?" I shouted from upstairs.
I hold the railing and looked down and found her rocking Leo in her arms.
Lisa looked up and nodded her head. "Yeah, everything is done and Leo is ready too." She replied.
"Good." I passed the corridor and went downstairs to them and watched Aless also ready in a casual dress-up. I rolled my eyes mentally. He really is in the mood for a vacation and here am I. Almost lost my inner peace!
What? You are confused about this sudden trip of ours? Yeah, It's obvious. Let me first send them and I will be back to you in a minute.
I walked toward Leo and Lisa. And hold Leo in my arms. Soon, all four of us came out of the mansion and the driver opened the door for us.
Lisa went inside first and then I settled Leo on his special seat. Then I looked up at Sage, who is now standing beside me after settling their luggage in the bonnet.
"You remember what to do, right?" I asked him carefully so that no one listens. Especially, Aless.
He nodded. "Yes, ma'am. I will be there on time."
"Hmm." With my reply, he walked toward the passenger seat beside the driver. And soon, the car started and I watched them leave.
Suddenly, I felt a strong and possessive arm wrapping around my waist. I smiled before leaning on his body, melting in his touch.
"So, they left." He kissed my head. "Now, we can go on our vacation. What say?"
I nodded, "Yeah, we can." And sighed inwardly. I can't be that much happy about it. For Aless, it's a vacation after the things we went through, but for me, it's a never-ending saga.
Honestly, I did not plan it like this. It was supposed to be only me going to Italy along with Sage. But, that morning, when I was talking to Sage on the phone, Aless heard me and just to suppress the truth I lied that I was planning a vacation for us in Italy.
The happiness that appeared on his face was something I could not deny and here we are. At first, I thought to bring Lisa and Leo with us. However, the thought of them in trouble because of me, forced me to drop that certain idea as I agreed to send them to Edwards Manor, while we went to Italy.
I still believe I am making a mistake by not telling Aless but whenever I look at his relaxed attitude, I could not but stop in my track. How can I snatch that happiness away from him?
Nonetheless, I need to tell him. Maybe, not here and after reaching Italy. Because, if I let him know this now, he would definitely stop this trip and take every risk and responsibility over him.
"Shall we get in the car now?" He asked and I looked up at him, hiding my worries, I smiled at him.
"Sure, let's go."
The driver opened the car door for us after settling our luggage in the bonnet. Both of us settled in the new Maybach, Aless recently bought.
The car started and I heard him sighing beside me. I turned beside and he is leaning on the seat with his eyes closed.
"Finally... We are gonna have some alone time for ourselves! No clock blocker!" Even in this tension, I giggled hearing his motive of relaxation. This man is really something!
I won't blame him though. It's been really head on us. Well, parenting is amazing but some sacrifice needs to be made. That's unavoidable.
Soon the car pulled into the airport and both Aless and I walked out of the car. The airport is a paparazzi area for sure. The moment, we stepped out of our car, we were surrounded by media reporters.
It took ten minutes for our guards to remove the crowd as we walked inside the airport. Of course, we are using our private jet.
When we entered our jet, we were greeted by three air hostesses and two pilots. However, Aless frowned and raised his brow at the pilot. "Where is Maxim? I thought he is going to be here today?" He asked.
One of the pilots stepped forward respectfully, as he seems the head pilot. "This is Samuel Evans, Mr Devonte. Maxim could not come today because of an emergency in his family. His wife is not well and he needed to be there. He assigned his task to me this morning." He spoke with his thick Italian accent.
"But he didn't say anything to me last night." Aless retorted.
"His wife suddenly fall ill this morning, sir. So, he assigned me suddenly this morning. It was a sudden accident, sir." Samuel replied.
"Oh, okay..." Aless nodded and led me inside the jet.
Soon, the plane take off and in no time Aless pulled me on his lap. I chuckled at his urgency and raise day brow. "So impatient, huh?"
He hide his face on my neck and inhaled my scent. "I am always impatient when it comes to you, baby." He nuzzled there and spoke again, "I can't believe, we are going on a honeymoon! Our first honeymoon!"
