After the death of her mother, Autumn Jones finally gets her life together the only thing bothering her is a persistent man who wants to buy her building at all costs but she refuses every time. How could she ever sell the last thing she inherited from her mother? She enters a yoga class where she meets Summer whom she befriends immediately not knowing she is her ex"s sister. One day as Summer visits Autumn's coffee shop her brother Domenic shows up, but he doesn't come for his sister. He is behind the man who was trying to buy the building not knowing Autumn was the owner. When his eyes land on Autumn he can't believe that the woman in front of him is the same girl whose virginity he took years ago before going to college. The girl he humiliated just to win a bet not knowing the damage he was causing. She haunted his dreams for years and now was standing in front of him. Autumn didn't waste a second, she threw him out. The shock of seeing him revived all the memories she tried so hard to bury. It takes Domenic a lot of tries and a lot of patience in order to break through Autumn's defenses and earn her trust again, as well as it takes some time for Autumn to understand Domenic's fears. The things get more complicated with the arrival of Alice, a woman whose sole interest in life is to marry Domenic and enter the Davis Jones family. She will stop at nothing to separate Autumn and Domenic, but will she succeed, or will love and trust prevail?

I say frantically as I look around making sure no one is coming."Anything particular I should pay my attention to?" I don't know what there is to find, but I am sure Domenic is hiding something from me, and it's related to her."She was close to Domenic, that should put you in the right direction." That is everything I know at the moment, but my gut tells me there is so much more to discover."What? Is this a jealousy thing?" Leo asks and I frown."Just do what I told you, and anything you find out you come directly to me. No one else needs to know I ask you this." I am sure they would all be quick to stop me from finding out whatever it is that they are hiding from me."May I ask, why did you ask me to do it?" He asks and the answer is pretty simple."I get the feeling my family is overprotecting me and I know they wouldn't allow me to pock around, so I need you to do it." He nod
Autumns POVI woke up feeling the sun on my face and Domenic's heavy arm over my body, I was also greeted by Prue kicking. It's such a strange yet special feeling every time she does so. When I woke up in the hospital and they had to explain to me that I was pregnant, I have to admit I didn't know what to feel for this baby. I didn't know how to feel about any of it. Waking up to a blank space in my head has been a rocky road, having to meet my family, friends... Domenic. I had to learn how to love them and trust them. But lately, I feel they all collectively hide things from me and there is no one I can ask anything, well until now.My family has their reservations about Aunt Rachel and her son, but I see them as someone who can help me take away the secrets that are kept from me.Seeing how early it still was I discreetly got out of bed without waking up Domenic and got dressed before taking the opportunity to leave the room and go downstairs alone. I'm sick and tired of being treat
"Relax Domenic." I say to myself as I grip the box harder then look at Alex who was looking at me amused. "I have to give it to her, even visibly pregnant she is able to score a guy." Alex jokes before walking in front of me while my feet struggle to follow. As if I didn't have enough problems now I have to deal with this man as well. When will I ever catch a break in this life? "You two seem to be having a good time." Alex said as she placed her box in between them. "He was telling me a joke. Leo is quite funny." Autumn says as she still smiles at him. Her smiles are only for me, not some random man claiming to be her family. "Where is Summer?" I ask as I look around trying not to look pissed. "She went to the bathroom, she won't take long." Autumn says as I glare at Leo."I see you are busy so I'll leave you now." Leo gets up and stands by Autumn's side. "It was nice talking to you, hopefully, we'll have more opportunities to get to know each other." He says as he takes her hand
"... and that is why I would prefer to organize a small wedding, so I don't have to deal with a big crowd of people I don't even know." Autumn explained as we were all sitting together with her family. Well, not the entire family, Rachel, and Leo were lucky nowhere to be found."Autumn sweety, I understand your point but we are an important family, and a celebration like that is important. Two important families are eventually merging into one, that is..." Eloise seemed to be going on and on until Autumn interrupted her."This is a union of two people that love each other, a celebration of love not a show for everyone to participate in. I want to celebrate it with my family and friends, nothing more." Autumn said as I watched Richard nod his head in agreement. "If Autumn wants to make it more private then that is how it will be. We can always issue a statement to the press later and tell them about the wedding. My daughter is pregnant and if she doesn't want to be exposed to a big tie
"But that can't be, right? This was just my mind playing tricks on me. You wouldn't do that to me? Would you?" This was the moment I had dreaded for so long, even tho I was supposed to be happy she was remembering, I was terrified. Unable to speak, trying to get my thoughts in order to find the best way to explain this to her but I was left paralyzed in front of her."God I am so sorry." She said. What is she sorry about? I'm the one who needs to apologize. "I shouldn't have even asked you that, of course, you wouldn't hurt me. This was just a nightmare. Let's just forget about it." Did she really believe that or was she only trying to fool herself? Just tell her the truth, if she is remembering on her own maybe that's what she needs to remember everything."Autumn, that..." Come on, why is it so hard for the words to leave my mouth?"Shhh, don't say anything. Just hug me again." Autumn said as she put her hands around me and her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my hands around her and b
I was lying in bed, Autumn's head resting on my chest as she slept while sleep avoided me. My mind just didn't want to shut down, thoughts were going on repeat like a broken CD. I had the person I love the most in between my arms yet I was still restless. Afraid that these moments with her could end at any given moment but the only way out of this guilty feeling is through the truth. But there is still that selfish Domenic inside of me somewhere telling me to wait. Marry her first, that way she won't be able to kick you out so easily. Toxic? Yes, I was, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Caveman? I was, only for her, even when she didn't like it. In love, I was. I loved her more than Ramses loved Nefertiti, more than Suleyman loved Hurrem. She is the only one I would die for, the only one I would live for.I kiss the top of her head before gently putting her head on the pillow, then I turn on my side and look at her sleeping face. My eyes traveled over every feature o
"God, how I missed this. The four of us just hanging around like the old times." Summer said as she passed us a drink as we at on the couch, Autumn's legs stretched over mine as we watched a movie."I don't know what we used to do, but I am enjoying this." Autumn said as she took a sip of juice."And here comes some dessert." Anthony passed around the chocolate cake Summer made earlier."Gosh, I don't think I have any room left after the dinner we just had, it surprises me you can eat more." Autumn said as she passed on the cake and put it down on the coffee table."That's because we only ate one course for dinner and you had three." To be fair the portions weren't that big and Anthony did cook some amazing chicken, so it's basically just protein. I can't believe I actually learned the food composition, from protein, fiber, carbohydrates, minerals, and fats. You name it, I know it. Those books were very informative. "Stop that, don't tease a pregnant woman about food." Summer said as
It's been some time since I was here last. Summer is the one who would spend weeks on end here any time she would want to get away from father, since he never came here. It reminded him of mother.I forgot how nice it is to sit on this porch and look at the sun setting behind the horizon. "Is everyone in place?" I ask Miguel out on the porch while Autumn is inside with Summer."I have everything covered. No one will be able to get close to the house." Miguel said as she pointed to all of the men standing close by."You might wanna tell them to let me in, that is if you wish to eat dinner." Anthony said as he carried bags in his hand while one of the men didn't let him pass."Sorry, he wasn't at the house when you came before." Miguel says as he waves his hand to the man and Anthony passes through. "I know all of this is necessary but God damn this is more security than at the Met Gala." Anthony said as Miguel took a bag from his hand while I looked at him in odd."What? Your sister m
"Where are we going?" Autumn asked as Mrs.Hendricks finished packing her beg and left it on the floor next to the door before leaving."Not far. Summer thought we could spend some time at our house by the beach and I thought you would love a change of scenery even for a little bit." I told Summer that Richard wanted us to take Autumn away until he deals with some things here, and she was delighted. It's been a long time since we all got together again. Like the old times."Are you sure it has nothing to do with Aunt Rachel and her son? I feel like you want to keep me away from them." She wasn't wrong. "I'm not stupid, I felt the tension between her and my dad." That much was obvious, they came here at the worst moment possible. Strangers that we have no idea what intentions they have by being here. This wasn't about the money anymore, Rachel wants to get in the middle of our lives and she knows things we'd all rather hide. "There are some issues between them but you don't have to worr
