Chapter: Chapter 50Nathan walked into the building with his secretary, Andrew at his side. “Andrew how many meetings do I have today?”Nathan hold up his finger as he felt his phone rang. He took it out looking at the Id caller. Seeing that it is Goth he hastily answered. “Goth, What’s wrong…? Why are you running?” Nathan stopped dead in his tracks, waiting for Goth to answer.“Nathan, It seems Amore thinks her mom is in some kind of danger. Amore ran ahead of me. It will not be easy to stop her from going, so I am taking her there.”“WHAT?? Fine… I understand, I will meet you there … and Goth if something happens to Amore…””Yeah I know… I have to go.” Goth ended the call as he climbed into the driver's seat. Amore gave him the directions and they sped off. Goth knew if did not step on it Amore would tell him to pull over and she would drive herself. Nathan immediately called Dr. Martin. Dr. Martin was not someone you mess with and after finding out Amore was his only granddaughter he was extremely

Chapter: Chapter 49“Hello?” Amore held the phone to her ear, with her shoulder as Amore was taking out her uniform, from the locker for the day’s work. “Hello?”Amore repeated when no one answered.“Mia?” A soft voice responded.Amore stopped and then took the phone from her shoulder with her hand. “Mom?” Amore asked stunned. “Oh, Mia… I missed you so much. Carolyne got someone to tell me you found your father… oh Mia…” “Mom, are you okay? Why are you whispering and crying? Where are you?” “Where I will always be Mia. I'm so happy you finally found Miano… now I can go in peace.” “Mom, what you you talking about? Is Richard there? Are you okay mom? No… wait I'm coming to get you.” Amore said while she grabbed her handbag from the locker. “No, Mia… it's too late for me. Be happy… I have always loved you Mia and always will.” Isabel looked through the kitchen window seeing Richard getting out of his truck. Richard slammed the door shut as he stammered three steps back almost falling backward, he fo

Chapter: Chapter 48Amore had to stay in the hospital for three weeks. Grandma Gigi finally went home after much convincing from Steven. Gigi exceeded into driving Rachel nuts, which resulted in Rachel refusing to go home. Rachel did what she said she would, she slept in Amore's room on the couch. Carolyne stayed until late every night and went home after Goth's shift ended. In the meantime, Dr. Martin, Nathan, and Miano searched for clues regarding Carter, but every new clue they got steered them into a dead end. It was like Carter and his men disappeared from the face of the earth. The day Amore would be discharged finally came.Nathan looked at all the people surrounding the room. “I already told you all that you did not have to be here today.” Nathan sighed as he looked at Rachel, Steven, Dr. Martin, Miano, Carolyne, James, and Caity in the room. “Why are you guys even here?” Carolyne asked as she walked towards Amore while looking irritated at James and Caity.“This is a free county Carolyne, we

Chapter: Chapter 47Nathan walked into the room, seeing Amore asleep. Carolyne looked up from her phone seeing Nathan enter.“Is she sleeping?” Nathan asked Carolyne in a whisper tone.“Yeah… I am also going to head home. I'll see you tomorrow,” Carolyne said then got up from her seat, “Okay, see you then. Thank you for watching over her while I was out.” Nathan said while looking at Amore, “You don't have to thank me, Nathan. Amore is family. I will do anything for her, see you tomorrow … bye,” Caroline said then walked out of the room. Nathan sat down on the chair next to Amore's bed. Finally, they were alone… he leaned forward and then closed his eyes as he ran his hands through his hair. “Hey… there…?” Nathan heard that beautiful voice he loves. Nathan opened his eyes and stared into Amore's captivating blue eyes. “Hey… beautiful. How are you feeling?” Nathan asked while taking Amore's hand into his.Amore pouted, “I missed you, please come lay next to me.”Nathan looked worriedly at Amore, “I

Chapter: Chapter 46‘Every minute, every second you fixed your eyes on your loved ones is a blessing, even if it’s only a glance.’Miano walked toward Amore and stopped next to her bed. At first glance, he knew this was his daughter. Amore was a spitting image of Rose. Miano's eyes welled up with tears as he looked down at HIS daughter. Who would have imagined, that he of all people would have a daughter? That day when Isabel left him, she left with his heart. He could not bear to be with anyone else but her, and now he is looking at their daughter. So how does one describe this feeling? This amazing, but also painful feeling of meeting your daughter for the first time. Painful, because he never got the chance to experience what it was like to hold her when she was born, to feel the tremendous love that fills your heart when you hold that amazing tiny little person in your arms for the first time, he never got the chance to see the first time she laughed, cried, got hurt… but the most unbearable part is k

Chapter: Chapter 45The greatest gift you can receive is another day of life. Live for today and dream for tomorrow. “Shhh, Carolyne not so loud…!” Amore said while holding onto her head.“I…I need… I need to get the doctor…” Carolyne screamed as she jumped out of the chair and ran out of the room shouting for a doctor.Rachel quickly ran out of the bathroom as she heard the commotion in the room, almost having a heart attack. Nathan jumped off the couch almost tripping over his feet as he ran toward Amore. Nathan stopped a foot away from Amore, surprised.“Amore?” He walked towards her as the tears ran down his cheeks… he leaned over her and gently hugged her. “Thank goodness!!! You scared me to death. Don't you ever, ever, ever do that again?” Nathan spoke with his mouth against Amore's hair.“Shhh…" She patted him on the back.“Nathan… water please…” Amore said in a hoarse voice.Rachel, walked forward throwing her a glass of water. “Here darling.”Nathan released Amore from the hug so Rachel could

Chapter: Chapter 39Kevin felt something wet dripping on him. He looked up and noticed the dark clouds above him. The rain poured down upon him. He sat like that for a few moments before he stood up with Alice in his arms. He walked toward his car, opened the back door, and laid her gently on the back seat. He wiped his tears roughly with his arm as he walked toward the driver's side and slid behind the wheel. He started the car and drove off.Kevin stood in the field. The rain had stopped but the clouds were still thick and dark in the air.With the shovel in his hand, he looked down at Alice’s grave a few km from the Orphanage that had burned down. This was their place, where they were happy, and this is the place where he wanted her to rest. Kevin slid on his knees. The gentle breeze blew past him leaving no sound. Like an ocean takes the dirty sand so has my heart been taken away with you. Only a shell of a man remains.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kevin disappeared after the death of Alice. He chang

Chapter: Chapter 38There is a saying that tomorrow is not promised to anyone. How too aware was Alice of these words? She never cared for these words since she only had revenge to live for, but everything changed when she met Kevin again. She somehow saw hope in her dark life again.Alice tore her eye from Adriano and looked at Khan. Her gaze was sharp, her face was void of any emotion. Khan frowned.“You don’t believe me, do you?” He asked.Alice kept his gaze for a second before she responded.“Oh no, I do believe you.”Khan could not handle Alice's calm demeanor.He burst out laughing and looked down at Adriano who was clenching his chest.“Do you hear that Adriano? She heard every word I said, yet she shown no emotion toward it.” Khan continued laughing while he clapped his hands looking ecstatic about the discovery. “You’re really one heartless woman Alice.”“Are you done?” Alice asked bored. She sneered as she continued, “I may be heartless, but I am not naive, I know how to value the people that

Chapter: Chapter 37Alice's brows furrowed as her gaze focused on the wheels of Maisie’s bed. She felt a pull on her hand and looked up only to meet Kevin’s eyes.“Are you coming?” He asked.Deep in thought, she gazed at him for a few seconds until her attention was drawn to the ringing of her phone. Without looking at the caller Id she answered almost like knowing who it was. Without saying a word, she held the phone against her ear.“Come home. You have 30 minutes.” Left with only those words the call ended.Alice gazed forward. She lowered the phone with a cold expression and turned to Kevin.“I have some personal matter to deal with first.”Kevin frowned. Uneasiness suddenly overwhelmed him. He could not understand the agitation he felt.“I’ll come with you,” Kevin said without hesitance.“No, Kevin. Maisie has yet to awaken. Your family needs you here. I will deal with my matters and then return.”Kevin could not rebuke her request and could only look as she walked away.He has dealt with many matte

Chapter: Chapter 36“We are losing her.” Doctor Ian yelled,“She’s coding!”“Crash Cart!”“Clear!!”‘Somehow Maisie knew Luca we're gone. It was as though her soul was still longing, searching for him. Was he calling for her?‘My dearest heart-’‘Sad isn’t it though? To think you are still yearning for him. Sadly, I confess, yes, I still love him. I think - I think, even before I knew what those words meant I knew that I love him, even if he didn’t. I still so deeply loved him. Tell me though, how can I be an architect of my own life if I could not even control you? Every cell and fiber in my body can contest that these words are true. Oh, my dear heart, that once used to beat underneath my chest. Do you still think of this as beautiful?”Kevin and Alice rushed into the hospital toward the emergency room.“There is a young girl that was brought in a while ago, we are her family. Where is she?” Alice asked the lady sitting behind the reception desk.“Give me a moment.” The lady said as she franticly typed

Chapter: Chapter 35How significantly can one choice change a life? Standing in the doorway and looking down at the bruised figure laying still on the cold concrete floor, Luca felt himself forgetting to breathe for a faint moment. He knew if he took one step over the invisible line that was drawn between him, and her his life would be over. ‘Mine or hers? Mine or hers? He kept repeating the phrase in his mind even though he already knew the answer to it. His hands trembled at his side as his feet slowly crossed the line, he was so desperately anxious to cross throughout his life. Was the iceberg he built around his heart broken down piece by piece by her when he did not notice?Maisie’s eyes shot open, and he stopped. Lifeless eyes stared back at him. They were dull, the light that they once held was gone broken to pieces.“M - Maisie,” The voice that left his lips even sounded foreign to him.She did not move. She did not speak but only stared back at him emotionlessly. Her face was bruised, her lips s

Chapter: Chapter 34Breathing felt difficult for Luca as he closed the door behind him.“No, please. OH, heavens no!” Maisie’s cries echoed through the door.Luca closed his eyes as he held onto the doorknob. He knew well enough what Leo was doing inside. The lump that had formed in his throat felt like it was suffocating him. He could not get himself to turn around and walk away like all the previous times. Her pleading cries felt like a thousand blades had pierced into his flesh. With closed eyes, Luca slid to his knees.‘Why did he have to stay and torment his soul, why couldn't he just stand up and walk away like a normal fool? He could not. He could not seem to get his limbs to move. His head banged against the cold concrete floor. To muffle out the sound he tightly pressed his hands against his ears. But to no prevail, he could still hear every sound.Flashbacks of his past flickered before his eyes. He was taken back to the memory of his mother.With no recollection of his Father, hell he does not
