Alessandro barely cared about Marco. No, if he's still preoccupied with kissing Carlotta. The man at first thought that Carlotta hated him so much. Memories of the day Carlotta kicked him out of the Marinelli mansion continue to overshadow him.
And Alessandro himself had also made a fatal mistake in Carlotta's eyes. That led him to think that the only way to get Carlotta in his bed was by force.
But apparently not. Alessandro could now see that there was still a sense of liking in Carlotta's eyes. The girl is not immune to her charm. He may just need some gentle persuasion and seduction.
Along with one of her favorite cake boxes.
Because Carlotta was still closing her eyes and unaware of what was going on around her, Alessandro decided to lift the girl's body in his arms. He took Carlotta to his room without letting go of a kiss.
"You're so pretty." Alessandro whispered as they moved their heads slightly to take a breath.
Carlotta panting. The woman opened her eyes slowly. Her eyelashes are shaking. "What are you doing?" Carlotta asked, her voice a little raucous.
Alessandro smiled. "I didn't do anything, Mia Cara. You seem a little tired from filming all day, so I'm making you rest for a while."
Carlotta blinked her eyes quickly. He only realized that he was on a king-size bed in Alessandro's room, complete with the man on it.
"Then where is Marco? I came here with Marco!"
"Sst, relax, honey. What if you two just stay here? It's late, and tomorrow we'll go back to the Colosseum. This place is closer than there." Alessandro stood up, watching Carlotta still in her bed. "I'll have my waiter prepare a guest room for Marco."
Carlotta looked at him confused. "Then where am I going to sleep?"
Alessandro walked away. "Where do you think you're going to sleep?" The man asked back while smiling half.
***
After his mind refocused itself, Carlotta immediately walked out of the cursed room and joined the others in the dining room. Monsieur Pierre did not look everywhere, so it crossed Carlotta's mind that Alessandro just deceived him.
"Carlotta! Come here!" Marco waved at him. The man pointed at something on the dining table, which was invisible because it was covered in Alessandro's burly back.
A pan full of strawberry cheesecake.
The more Carlotta walked closer, the more appetizing the aroma became. Right, here's the cake she wanted. From the look and smell, Carlotta could imagine himself in Verona.
He always wanted to go back there.
Alessandro suddenly pulled Carlotta by the waist and sat the girl beside him.
"What are you" Carlotta did not have time to continue his words because Alessandro thrust a spoonful of strawberry cheesecake in front of his mouth. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't.
"Hows it? Yummy?" Alessandro observed Carlotta.
"Mmmm..." Carlotta chewed while closing her eyes. It feels like you, Carlotta thought. Then, the girl quickly shook her head, trying to drive away her miscellaneous thoughts.
Carlotta kept chewing. Piece. Two piece. Not to mention, he had already spent five pieces of strawberry cheesecake.
"Slowly, Honey. No one's gonna take it from you." Alessandro stroked Carlotta's back.
Suddenly, Carlotta felt a wave of nausea that lately is often felt. His face was instantly deathly pale.
Alessandro quickly took a glass of water. "What's up, Carlotta? You okay?"
Marco pushed Alessandro away. "Go away, Signor, or this time you'll get vomited."
Alessandro walked away confused. Especially when he saw Marco helping Carlotta stand up.
"What are you gonna do with Carlotta?" Alessandro pulls Marco's arm to let Carlotta go.
Marco rolled his eyeballs. "If you want to help, please show me where the bathroom is."
Alessandro stuck out his hand pointing at a door.
"Thank you." Marco quickly led Carlotta to the toilet. Alessandro could hear Carlotta spewing out all of her entrails.
Carlotta nodded quickly. "No."
"In that case, we'll go to the doctor." Marco helped Carlotta stand up. "Most importantly, we need to talk."

Carlotta complied with Marco as the man took him home. Alessandro looked unhappy, but he had no right to keep Carlotta in his place. In the end, all Alessandro can do is wrap the rest of the cake (which is still half a baking sheet) to be taken home by Carlotta. The man was confused and wondered if Carlotta had a certain disease he did not know about? However, neither Carlotta nor Marco seemed to be telling him anything.
Marco leads Carlotta into the car, after which he gets into the place behind the wheel. Without waiting for orders, Marco drove his car to a pharmacy that was open 24 hours nearby from where they are now.
When he reached his destination, Marco looked on Carlotta with pity. "Whatever the result, you'll be fine, honey."
Carlotta shakes. "I just ate too much cake, Marco. There's no point in doing this test."
Marco smiled soothingly. "We'll just make sure. Okay?"
Carlotta was about to refuse, but Marco had already darted down and entered the pharmacy. The man returned a few minutes later with a package. He handed the package to Carlotta.
"Please tell me the results. Use urine first thing in the morning so that the results are accurate." Marco sighing. "I bought you a test pack with great sensitivity. The result is 99% accurate%. And I bought you from a couple of brands, so you could do repeated tests, if you still have doubts about the first test pack."
Carlotta accepted the package hesitantly.
After the car drove back, Carlotta opened her mouth. "What would we do if the worst were to happen?"
Marco shook his head slowly. "First, I'm gonna ask you if you're ready to be a mother?"
Carlotta jerks. "No. I never imagined I'd be a mother."
Marco was not surprised by the answer. "I think so too. Not to be insulting, honey, but being a mother takes a lot of sacrifice. Besides, your career is at the top."
"You're right."
Marco continued. "If you decide you're not ready, I'll find a good hospital to drop him. I'll make sure no one knows but the two of us and God. Damn it, because of you I've really become a religious person."
Carlotta chuckled in the middle of her nervousness. However, aborting the contents sounds terrible. He's afraid.
"It won't hurt at all. You'll be fully sedated and wake up refreshed. Without baby. Maybe your stomach will sting a little on your next monthly schedule. Nothing can't be held."
Carlotta.
Marco observed the change in Carlotta's expression. "However, if you want to keep this baby, I have no choice but to tell Signor Ferrara."
Carlotta gasps. "Oh, no. No, Marco!"
"You can't raise this baby alone, Carlotta. I will not accept if your child is born outside the marriage bond because of my fault. He will be the rightful heir of the Ferrara family. And you will be Mrs Ferrara. I'll make sure that fucking Alessandro marries you." Marco's eyes were fiery. Never before has Carlotta seen Marco lose this patience.
"Marco..."
Marco looked at Carlotta. Now his eyes are glazed. "I've made a terrible mistake by agreeing to Alessandro's offer that night, Carlotta. I don't know how much he's gonna hurt you. And I don't want you to live to suffer anymore because of him."
Carlotta fell silent. Marco's words made sense, but there was nothing he liked between the two words Marco said.
