The Croesus' Bride [Completed]

Camila Garcia-Almada's POV

After Nicolas paid for our dinner, we went for a stroll at Tasca do Chico. It was known for its Fado music as they were playing along the streets and the tourists like to dance to the song.

I have always dreamed of walking and dancing under the stars with the love of my life and I think that I was having it right now.

"Dance with me," I said as we were on the grass as the tourists were watching the musicians and they were playing a nice song.

"Right now?" Nicolas asked me as I was laughing at him.

"What, afraid that you have two left feet, mister?" I teased him before he scooped me up and twirled me around. I laughed even more.

"Well, I would not let you taunt me anymore," he said before he set me to the ground and twirled me into his arms.

"Let see who has two left feet, shall we?" He asked before he went to kiss me. I smiled before he released me and twirled again. I was wearing a dress and it was spinning like I was in an audition for tango years ago. I laughed before he was swaying my hips and I was looking into his eyes.

"People were staring at us," I whispered to him as he was twirling me in and out of his hand. He smirked before he dipped me.

"Let them be. They would be the envy of how a good dancer you are," he said before he perked my lips and a cheer from the crowd. We were dancing as we were twirling round and round before Nicolas was scooping me up and he was holding me before everyone clapped at our performance. He let me down before we dipped our heads toward our spectators.

"Now, let's get out of here, I think we might miss something," he said as he went to pull me out of the crowd.

"Where are we going?" I asked him but he only answered me with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at him as I was smiling for the surprise that he had for me.

We were strolling down on the street as the locals called it the Pink Street. why did you ask? well, I was not sure but I think it has to do with the fact that the light was pink and I was holding onto Nicolas' arm right now.

"Do you like it?" He asked me as we were hiking through the street to the destination that we might not know as Nicolas refused to tell me.

"Well, if you tell me where we are going, then maybe I will be more interested," I said as I was looking at Nicolas smirking face.

"Well, I think you might remember it from your memory but I guess I just have to show you," he said before he held my hand and dragged me even further.

"What?" I asked him but we just keep walking.

We were now standing at the edge of the building as we were looking at the nightlife that we just past through after we were dancing.

"So, remember now?" He asked me as I was gripping the railway. It did not seem like a memory but more of a deja vu on my part.

Before my parents were killed, we were announced that Nicolas will be marrying me. I was happy beyond reason as he has agreed to be my husband in a distant future. Then, he asked me to take a walk with him before I went away. It was a nice thing that we still share those memories even after our fragile connection.

Tears were streaming down my face as I was looking at the nightlife. I sniffed before Nicolas noticed it.

"Hey, hey, hey. I'm sorry. If I have known you would cry, I would never bring you here," he said as he turned me to look at him. He was so considerate as I was smiling at him.

"No, no, no it was nothing. I just thought that maybe you have forgotten about this," I said as I was looking at my hand before Nicolas drew me on my chin to look at his face.

"Hey, I would never forget it. Not in a lifetime. I will always remember your moments with me and that's the memory that I hold dear to," he said before he dipped his head. I sighed as I was happy before I snaked my arms around his neck and pulled me closer.

"Right, you must be tired, let's go," he said as he was looking at my face. I smiled before I kissed him again.

"Well, not entirely sleepy," I said, hoping that he will understand what I meant by it. He smirked.

Yup, he understood.

"Then, we shall make haste then," he said as he pulled my hands and we were running down the lane to our hotel.

One week come and go and Luis came to pick us up from Lisbon to get to Nicolas' house in Barcelona. It was a nice view as his house was overlooking the sea and I was happy to know that he will always be with me.

But ever since we came back from Lisbon, I was having these weird cravings to each ranch with nachos, hot Cheetos and cheese and so much more that I cannot remember what I asked him to get for me. Nicolas just smiled and get it for me even though it was the weirdest shit on earth.

And now, I was looking at my face inside the bathroom. I felt like I was getting bigger and chubbier but that was probably my imagination. I scanned my face as I was looking at myself for almost 30 minutes now.

"Camila, my love, are you alright?" Nicolas asked me through the door before he opened the door and looked at it. I was staring at my face again and again before he went behind me and put my hair to the side before he was kissing my neck.

"What is it, love?" He asked me in his husky voice that made my fanny jumped.

Oh, and one more thing, whenever he said that in his velvety, husky voice, I would always jump him. Always, as I could never get enough of him.

"Camila, mi Estrella, what's wrong?" He asked me as my tears were pooling at my eyes as I was trying to blink away.

"Nothing, it's nothing. I guess I was just having one of those days," I said as I turned to look at him. He was smiling at me as he was caressing my hair before he kissed my forehead.

I sniffed his cologne. It was woody and vanilla? My stomach growled at me before I went to push him aside as I was emptying my bowels inside a toilet. He went behind me before he pulled my hair and eased me to get my stomach out. It was today's breakfast.

"My love, are you sure you're okay? Shouldn't we go to the hospital? I call my doctor, okay?" He asked me as I just nodded to him because I have no energy left in me.

"Yeah, sure," I said before he scooped me up and went to put me gently on the bed as he called for his family doctor.

A moment later, the doctor was checking my lungs and breathing as she was feeling pulse right now. I was a nervous wreck as I just had my faded blouse and a short. She was elegant as she was wearing a summer dress and her hair was immaculate.

I envied her instantly. A thought came into my mind but I shoved it away.

She looked at me before she was putting it away. It was hard to dismiss the look on her face before she turned to Nicolas.

"Can I have a word?" She said as she was speaking in Spanish. I rolled my eyes as she thought I don't understand her.

"I'll be back," Nicolas said as he went out of the room with the doctor. I was fidgeting as that thought came back to me.

Did he ever sleep with her? What if I was never enough? Oh, Lord help me!

The door was opening again before Nicolas thanked the doctor and closed it back. He went to my side as I was fidgeting with my hands. I cannot bear the news that he will say to me so I closed my eyes as I sensed he was sitting on the bed. He sighed.

Okay, that was a bad sign.

"My love?" Nicolas called for me as I looked at him. He has this soft feature on his face as he was smiling at me. I smiled back before he hugged me like I was a fragile thing.

"Thank you," he said as confusion was on my mind.

"For what?" I asked him as I was laughing. He smiled before he kissed me.

"For giving me a family," he said quietly as he was holding my stomach.

Wait, does that mean…

"Am I pregnant?" I asked him as I looked for confirmation. His smile was all the encouragement that I needed. I chuckled as I was holding my stomach. Tears were streaming down my face and I was a hot mess but I don't care because Nicolas was happy with my pregnancy.

"Now, there will be changes that need to be made. I will hire more staff to get things done to you and—" his words were gone as I kissed him.

"Oh hush, I can still handle myself, love," I said as I was touching my forehead with his.

"But, love—"

"Whatever you say, my dearest," he said as he hugged me one more time.
