Why?2 months have passed, now I have 4 left, I've been trying different wedding dresses now, of course, Lana has asked Danielle to come and convince me to try them on, I wasn't planning on doing all this buzz, because with every day that passed I've been getting weaker and weaker."perfect," I heard both Lana and Danielle and I think I heard Ella's voice with them, so I turned around saw her leaning on the door frame, I immediately ran to her and hugged her."what are you doing here?" I asked and she laughed.she pulled back and said "when heard from Dominic that you're getting married, again, I couldn't stop myself from come here and help you, especially with everything that's going on, " and I pulled her in a hug again."you never hugged me like that, " I heard Dominic's voice say and pulled back."Hello, sis, " he said and I went to him and pulled him in my arms and hugged him, when we pulled back, he said "so that's how we ended up hearing that you're s

Chapter: 30. Birthday I woke up and looked beside me to find Matteo staring at me, I yelped and said "what the hell?" he laughed at me."I'm admiring, " he said and I answered "you're staring, ""it's romantic, " he said and I answered "it's creepy, " and he took a pillow and throw it at my face.there was a knock on the door and I heard Lana say "love birds get up, breakfast is ready, " and that's what we did.as we were having breakfast while Lana was playing with the children, I looked at Matteo, put my fork and knife down, leaned back in my chair, and said "I'm dying, " and he immediately froze in his place and asked "what?""I'm sick Matteo, " I said and he put his knife and fork down and asked, "what do you mean sick?" I sighed and looked away." I have a brain tumor, all I have left is six months, " I explained, looked back at him, and saw that his eyes are red, and a tear escaped his eye."and there is no treatment?" he asked, his voice was shaky, and I a

Chapter: 28. Natalie Salvator"Sister, I just heard about what happened how are you holding up?" Danielle asked me, this is the first time she called me in months."Well, I mean Alexander is gone and that's a good thing but..." I paused and my eyes started to water."the man who saved me from this whole thing, Can't remember me now, so..." I said and started crying."tell me what happened, " Danielle said.(2 months ago)I was sitting in the chair next to Matteo like I've been doing since the incident when I noticed that he's opening his eyes, I quickly took his hand in mine, when he was completely awake, I looked at him and smiled.he smiled back and asked, "Who the hell are you?" I felt as if my blood froze in my veins at his question, and my smile turned into a frown.Matteo's family rushed to the room with the doctor, I got up so that he can examine Matteo.after a few check-ups and a few questions, the doctor asked us to come with him."he is ok

Chapter: 27. I'm nothing "so you're asking us to kill Alexander?" The leader of the council who is Dimitri asked."No sir, I'm asking you to get the people who he kidnapped back and I think I can deal with him, " I explained."But I think we should end the Knight family, Alexander was being a trouble to us lately, " Leonid said and I nodded my head."so what is it exactly you want from us, Natalie?" Uncle Maxim asked."All I'm asking for is protection for me and my children in the meantime, and in return, Matteo here is ready to make things good with us Russians, and he will be a big help in our operations, " I explained and Dimitri seemed to think about it and then turned his attention to Matteo."Mr.De Luca is that true?" Dimitri asked and Matteo nodded his head."yes, but in two conditions, one: Natalie and her children will be kept safe, two: I want Alexander's head, " Matteo said and Dimitri got up and went to him and after a few more stares at each other, he offered

Chapter: XXVAlanaMaybe you and I were just not meant to be.No matter how many times I tried to shake those words off, they just kept haunting me. He kept on haunting me…But he was not a ghost to me. He was Ray. He was my love. He was my sanctuary… and that son of a bitch came between us."Ms Steel." The voice of Ray’s lawyer brought me back to reality and I knew why he called my name. He wanted me to sign the papers. The divorce papers but how could I?How could I let go of what I had with Raymond? I love him and he loves me but now he was pretending that he hated me to my guts because of that snake.

Chapter: XXIV AlanaFinally, after about five days of waiting and talking to high ranked people, they are finally letting me see Ray in a private room for about an hour which is not something they allow to anyone.Waiting for the prison guards to get Ray was enough to make me think about the times when I didn't return the three words he said to me more than once.How big of an idiot I was. I had a gem in my hands and didn't realise how much it was worth but now I do… now I see him and would always do.The metal door creaked and my heart was aching to see Ray again, it's been too long. Way too long."Ray," I ran into his arms the moment he appeared in my view, not taki

Chapter: XXIIRaymondA week later"What happened?""I told you, I don't remember anything." I said helplessly but that attorney, whoever he was, didn't believe a single word I said.He didn't believe that Anna called me to help her, he didn't believe that someone knocked me out of consciousness when I reached her house… and he certainly didn't believe that I didn't kill Anastasia Clifford."Alright, then tell me exactly word by word, what happened that day?" He asked for the millionth time today and I just wanted to go back to the dorm that I shared with three more criminals even though I wasn't one but Daniel and Dina had made their plan with no flaws and the only thing that's helping me survive this was one huma

Chapter: XXIRaymondEveryone was here. Malia, Hayden, Nathan, Ethan, Fallon, Mom and Dad but Alana's parents were out of the country and we told them but they were facing some issues so they couldn't get here quickly.And all of them tried to calm me down and tell me that she'll be okay but they didn’t know that!They… they could never understand my pain or the love that I have for her or how much I'm willing to sacrifice just to make sure that she would never get hurt again if there were to be an again for her.Tears gathered in my eyes, blurring my vision but I knew if I started crying in front of my family they would never let me be alone until Alana's operation ended and I don't need that… at least not now s

Chapter: XXAlanaSomething bad was going to happen. I could feel it.I said that maybe we should keep laying low in France but Ray and everyone else did have a point as well, we still had companies and jobs to take care of, wasn’t that why we got married in the first place?Anyway, my point is that we shouldn’t have come back here yet, here we were standing in front of the Dalton mansion.And by we, I meant Malia, Me, Hayden and Ethan. We were waiting for the gates to open so we could place our stuff and then go to our companies while Ray, Nate and Elliot already went there.“I have a terrible feeling about this.” I announced, only to be met with everyone, excluding Ethan, to give me a look that said they were b
