WIP Wednesday: CORRADO #CorradoAlessioGinevra

Hey, loves.

You get a peek at CORRADO today.

Do enjoy.

**

Ginevra lifted her stare to find he was staring at her again, his hand holding the phone hovering overtop the charger like he forgot what he was supposed to be doing again. She didn’t know how long the two of them stared at one another like that—a few seconds, or more, but it could have been longer, too.
It felt like forever.
She found heat in his gaze.
Interest.
Something unknown.
And she liked it far too much.
Not that she understood that, either. She didn’t know anything about this man.
“Are you like them?” she dared to ask.
Corrado’s tongue snaked out to wet the edge of his bottom lip. “Like them, how?”
“Mafia. Made.”
“No.”
“I don’t know if I believe that.”
He felt like them, in a way. Dangerous, and dark. Like he held secrets in his eyes, and in his heart. He didn’t feel average, and God knew she had met enough average men over her lifetime to know it.
No, he felt like something else.
“I’m not like them,” he said, “but I am a little worse.”
She hesitated to ask more.
What did that mean?
Corrado seemed to take her hesitation as a chance to break their moment. Whatever in the hell that had been … that touch, the heat, that fucking feeling. She didn’t know what that was, and while she might like it, it also terrified her.
Because she didn’t know him.
And she still didn’t know if she could trust him.
He placed the phone back on the charger. As fast as he was touching her, he was gone.
It didn’t matter.
He still lingered.
She felt it.
Everywhere.
What in the hell was that?
Corrado cleared his throat, and wouldn’t meet her gaze. She wondered if he felt that, too? God knew he didn’t say much to her. For the most part, he’d spent the last week avoiding her as much as was possible when they were alone together in the penthouse.
“Would you like me to cook you breakfast?” he asked, a thickness roughening up his tone as he reached for the cupboard beside her.
Ginevra was back to feeling like she couldn’t speak, so instead, she whispered, “Sure.”
“And you can tell me about your sisters,” he was quick to add, shooting her a smile, “maybe then you won’t feel like you need to talk to them, if you’re talking about them.”
“You want to know about my little sisters?”
Corrado shrugged. “Why not?”
Well, okay.

Like he said, why not?

AMA - You ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves. It’s that time of the week again where you ask all your burning questions, and I try to answer them as best that I can. Sorry this is a little late today, we had a bad storm and lost power for a bit. Also note: there will be no AMA next week, it's Christmas. ;) Do you have a question for me? Great. Put it in HERE . Now, onto the questions for the week. * 1. Hi, Bethany.1st I like to tell you that I love your books. My question is, will there be a book for Valeria on what she went through with her past and future when she is taken with her daughter Maria. Thank you I can't wait for more future books from you. Kimberly Hey, there. And thank you for the kind words. Valeria is paired with Christopher Guzzi, which I think I have stated before – I know it’s listed on my fan page in the albums for the family trees, and it may even be on my website. But yes, you will get her story there. No, we will not see a lot of her past – parts of it, yes, and she will talk about it, b...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves! It is that time of the week again where you ask your burning questions, and I do my best to answer them. You all seem to have such an influx of q’s every week for me, which I love. Do you have a question for me? Great. Drop it into the form HERE . Now, onto the questions for the week. *** Please note, the first 3 questions are from Fae. *hugs* 1. Hi :) I firstly just wanted to say that I absolutely love every single thing you have written. I feel like your books have changed my life. Anyway, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it, so I just wanted to know, why did you decide to write a book about Naz? Hi there, and thank you. I’m not sure if someone has told me that my books have changed their life before, but all my love to you. My readers make this job 10x better for me, even on the worst days of my career as an author, the readers have always made it better. Keeps me humble, believe that. But onto your question … I honestly didn’t intend...

Tidak Sebaik Musa, Tidak Sejahat Fir'aun

“ Sesungguhnya Allah itu Maha Lembut, Dia mencintai kelembutan dalam segala urusan ” - HR. Bukhari - Sejenak, mari kita kembali ke zaman dahulu kala, kembali pada lembaran sejarah dunia yang dinodai oleh kekafiran seorang Fir’aun. Ya, diktator nomor 1 sepanjang sejarah manusia ini merupakan penguasa sebuah peradaban yang paling maju di dunia saat itu. Harta, tahta, dan dunia seakan keseluruhan adalah miliknya. Tapi memang dasar Fir’aun, ia yang tidak akan pernah merasa puas, Ia yang tak merasa cukup menjadi manusia saja, ia ingin menjadi lebih daripada itu, ia memiliki obsesi untuk melampaui batas-batas kemanusiaan. Ya, ia ingin menjadi TUHAN. “ Kemudian (Fir’aun) berkata, “Akulah tuhanmu yang paling tinggi ”” ( QS. An Naazi’at: 24 ) Dan dengan segala kekuasaan yang ia miliki, ia daulat dirinya sendiri sebagai Rabb semesta alam. Tangan besi Fir’aun yang telah merampas kehormatan ribuan atau mungkin jutaan manusia telah memaksa mereka untuk tunduk patuh secara mutlak kepada titahnya. E...
