****Alice Anderson"Oh my goodness! Susan! What are you doing here?!" Chloe exclaimed in an excited tone before moving forward to engulf her in a tight hug. "Is that a question or a statement? You girls better tell me you're not happy to see me here" she said with her eyes rolled. "Oh come on, you know that's not what she meant to say. Just that, you never told us you'll be coming to New York today. What's going on girl" Samantha said. "Hey girls" a guy right behind her waved at us. "Hey, Lucas" they all answered except me. Of course, I do not know who the guy is but, I definitely know the girl beside him."Alice, it's nice to finally meet you" the guy said stretching out his hand for a handshake. I look from his hand back to his face then from his face back to his hand. I slowly and gently took his hand for a handshake and asked. "Yo.. you know me?" "Yes, Ken has told me a lot about you." He answered. "Okay girls, I think y'all are on your way out. I will see you soon, okay?
Alice Anderson"I begin to know how to use guns, any sort of gun. I was trained to know how to fight. I went for 9 months of martial defense training. I was trained more like a guy rather than a girl. I came to love everything that I do then, Dom open up to me. The reason why he has always tried his best in making me the best was that he wanted me to become someone like him. He wanted me to become a Mafia. I... I ought to be angry or rather, scared but, I found it much more interesting and I wanted to do it badly. Not because I feel, if I don't, he might end up hating me but because I wanted to repay him for all the kindness he has shown me""Dom is like a father I never had. He has always tried to make me happy, getting me things, and helping me acquire not only a degree but also a Msc certificate. I was able to own different things, I owned a big restaurant all thanks to him. I... I see him as my father and he took me as his daughter he never had. I was so happy to have met him and
Kenneth Domanco"Ken, you're making the wrong choice by leading this girl on. I mean, she seems like a good girl to me than you have portrayed her to be. You made her look like the bad girl but the truth is, that girl is a very good and humble woman. What happens when she finds out you've been playing with her feelings? She will be upset at you" Max hissed as he said that. "Do I look like I care? I do not fucking care about her feelings. All I needed from her is my right and once I get it, I'm going to send her away from me forever""And you think, that's going to be possible? I could see it in your eyes, the way you looked at her earlier, you cared for her" Andrew said. "Care?" I scoff. "That's a big word to use. Whatever I'm doing, I'm doing it because I wanted her to feel like I have something for her, that's all""You will regret this, Ken. Trust me" Lucas said. "I won't regret anything and, can y'all stop ganging up on me because of some girl I brought to meet with you guys?"
Alice Anderson"Are you sure?" Sam asked again. "Of course, their cars are here already" she announced again. "Okay, Alice. You need to calm down, okay? Just take a deep breath and calm yourself down. You can do this" I mentally said to myself. I looked at myself one last time in the mirror before we all sauntered downstairs with my friends in my front while I was left at the back for a reason best known to them. We got to the living room and I heard his voice asking after me. "where's Alice?" "Oh! Lover boy is eager to see his girl, huh?" Sofia teased. I could tell he just rolled his eyes at her right now. "Don't tell me, she isn't dressed yet? She has enough time to get herself dressed, I'm sure, you're the reason why it took her this long before getting dressed. She's never this type who wants to look extravagant" he said but, I do not know who he's accusing though. "Hey, don't you dare accuse my wife. Don't forget, you're in my house" Oh! It's Sofia again- I thought, chuckl
Alice Anderson"Erm, no, no. That's not what I meant to say. Just that, it hasn't crossed my mind yet and, I have no idea you will like the idea of having kids together." "What are you talking about? We agreed to take things slowly between us by getting to know each other more right? If I do not want to have anything to do with you, do you think, I will be doing all of these things with you? No way, I'm going to do that Alice""I'm sorry" I apologized. "Why are you sorry?" He looked confused. "For not thinking about our future, I'm sorry for that" I apologized again by explaining myself. "Hey, it's fine okay?" He took my left hand and kissed my knuckle. My body shivered at that gesture from him. I have no idea where all this is leading, yes, I know we're about to get married and, my heart has started to feel something deep for him but, what about him? Did he feel anything for me yet or, he's still trying hard to convince himself that he wants this with me?I looked at him one last
Alice Anderson"He also asked since I have nowhere to go if it will be okay with me to take me away with him and I said yes to him without thinking twice. At that moment, I only needed someone who would show me nothing but love. I was still very young and all the people I met only use me to make money. I can't even eat food properly but would be given a little portion of food. Dom took me home, told one of his maids to bath me and he even got me plenty of dresses.""He told me he did some research about me and my Dad's name is Anderson Diego and my mom is Camella but, I couldn't remember anything. I can't even remember their faces so, how would I remember their name? I only know of one thing and that's my name."I was so happy. He took all the necessary steps just to take me in as his daughter. Later on, he told me my name would be Alice Anderson Domanco." I just saw the surprised look on Ken's face. "Yes, I never use Dom's name because everyone knows who he's. Knowing that I'm his d
Alice AndersonI finished telling him everything but the look this man is giving me right now is kinda making me feel so uncomfortable right now. What's going on with him? "Hey, are you okay?" I softly asked and at the same time, our meal arrived. The aroma of the food filled in my nostril. All I wanted to do right now is to dig my hands into it and eat all the food like there would be no tomorrow. After serving us, I thanked the two waitresses and they left. Ken, on the other hand, got up from his seat and walk to my side of the table. He stared down at me but it was annoying how I can't even read his face right now. This man only lets me in whenever he wants to and if he doesn't want to allow me in, he knows how to lock everything up."Ken, what's going on? What are you doing?" I asked, confused. He suddenly crouched to my level and held my two hands up to his lip and kissed my knuckle. I still sat there confused about what was going on, I have no idea what this man is up to now.
Alice Anderson"Ken..." I called out his name softly. "Come on, let's eat" he said as he tried taking his fork to eat. "Ken...?" I called out his name again. "Yes?" "You haven't told me anything yet about you. I believe, there's more to know, don't you think?" "Yo be sincere with you Alice, there's nothing special about me and, I have nothing to say. You know how I grew up, right? Spending my whole years in another country just to get trained so, that's it. Come on, let's eat our meal. It's getting cold already and we still have a long day" he said before scooping on his meal. I look at him strangely for a moment before shrugging my shoulder. Maybe, he's right. Maybe, he has nothing special to tell just like he said. "Ken, what about the wedding? Are we still getting married on the day Dom mentioned?""Why not? It's our wedding remember? Plus, we have started to understand each other more so, the reason why we should continue with this. I'm sure with time, we will adapt to it"
Alice AndersonSo, they both know about this too and, none of them bothered to say anything to me. "I know what you were about to say, Dad ""Huh? You do?" He look surprised. "Mmm. Aren't you trying to tell me it was because of you our car got into an accident and my Dad died?" I asked and they all widened their eyes in horror. Including my real parents and my brother too. "You know ?" Dad asked again. "Yes, I do. I found out almost a month ago. I decide not to talk about it because I learned it wasn't your fault. You only mistook our car for someone else's. I wanted to hate you, I wouldn't lie but I can't. You made sure to find me, took good care of me and never make me lack in anything. That... Is it enough for me to forgive you, Dad " I said. He looks so happy right now. I'm glad he does. "Babe" I heard my husband's voice call me. I slowly turn around and saw him kneeling with one knee on the floor with a beautiful diamond ring in his hand."K... Ken. What's going on? What are
Alice AndersonWe just got back home. I mean, to England, the Palace. I'm nervous and happy at the same time. Nervous because I do not know how to face my real parents, and even my mom too. I did a lot of things to them before we left for Paris. I was so rude and annoying. Even though it wasn't my fault why I did that to them, I regretted it to be honest. Myself, Seb and Jessica have grown a great bond. We're so close that we're inseparable. I really had fun. We did a lot of things. We went to the park together, and to cinemas, and did a lot of games I wasn't able to ever since I was little. We even went to the tower. I had no idea it will be that fun. Ken was devastated a week ago but I'm glad, he overcome it. We also promise to visit his mom's grave when we go back home. I'm glad he listened to me and now, he's happy. Everyone is and I can't thank God enough for finally making my life so perfect. And now, for the past two weeks now, I've been feeling too tired and get dizzy at e
Alice AndersonThree Days later"Ken, come on. You can't do this to yourself. What if your wife finds out about this? You think she will be happy?" I heard Andrew say in a worried tone to Ken. I was standing at the door, ready to twist the door knob open but what I heard made me stop for a moment."Andrew is right. You brought her here to make her happy, are you going to do this over some woman who left you without any regret?" Lucas said. Woman? Left him? Is he worried about Anna? "She's not just some woman, Lucas!!!" Ken busted angrily at him. Now, I can't take this nonsense. I thought he said he love me?I twist the doorknob open and barge in on them. "What woman are you talking about?" I asked looking at their faces. They all widened their eyes in horror. I guess, none of them expected me here. "Can someone tell me what the heck is going on here? What woman are you talking about? Is it Anna? Is Ken like this because of her?" I bombard them with questions.I know, I look like
Alice Anderson"S... Seb. You're crying?" I looked scared right now. Why is he crying when all I'm trying to do is to bond with him? Without uttering a word, he suddenly hugs me tightly. "Thank you. Thank you so much for accepting us as your family. You have no idea how happy I am right now and I'm sure, Mom and Dad will be happy to hear this from you " he said in a happy tone. I could tell from his exciting tone. He's really happy. I broke the hug and smiled at him too before taking his two hands in mine as I caressed them. "That's why, I've thought about it. We can go back home early, right? I want to talk to them and set things right. Though all these still seem like a dream to me, but all I want right now is to bond with them.""Of course, that's... That's a great idea. We can go back as soon as you conclude" he said, excitedly. After that, none of us said a word to each other again. It was like, we were both left in our world but, still aware of the surroundings and things hap
Alice AndersonIt's been days since we come here and it has been the best for me and the girls. Ken has been helping a lot to help me forget about my worries too and I really can't thank him enough. This past few days, I've been able to grow a bond with my little sister. Yes, you heard me right. I'm trying my best to accept who I am now. The following night after the day we arrive here, Ken talked to me and made me understand a lot of things. He made me realize I will always be me and I can't change my background or my Identity. No matter how upset I am, I have to accept my family back else, I will lose them forever- he made me understand that and I'm so thankful for having a sweet husband like him. And Jessica, she's such a sweet soul. I've been able to grow a bond with her for the past few days now and it was great for me. I never imagined that I would have a kid sister or, be a princess in my entire life. The moment I learned that Seb is a prince to be crowned a King and Chloe
Kenneth Domanco"Who could it be?""I have no idea. I'm still doing my findings" I answered. I need to be sure of my thought first before I accuse anyone."Ken, allow me to say this to you. I'm not okay with this decision of yours but, if this is what will make the two of you happy for now, I'm ready to do it for you. But please, always remember that we've warned you about this beforehand. Please, do not hurt her. She's now Seb sister and, if Yu hurt his sister, I do not think he will sit still. You might be more powerful and scary than us but when it comes to protecting one sister, one can be scarier""I know, I know okay? And please, I never intend to hurt her because she means a lot to me. She means everything to me, she means the world to me but damn it! I can't just find myself opening up to her. She will hate me for that""She would still eventually hate you if she comes to know about this""That would be after I find a way to tie her down with me. I will make sure she doesn't f
Kenneth Domanco"Hey! Is anything bothering you?" Alex asked as he took a seat beside me. I've been sitting alone here on the balcony of my room and then felt a hand on my shoulder. Turns out to be Alex. I sighed after looking at his face before answering. "It's about Alice..." I trailed off as I rub my face with my right hand."What about her? She is fine just now before the girls drag her away and, as far as I know, you two are fine with each other also so, what's the problem? Don't tell me you're down because she's not here with you?""I don't know it will be so hard to find her despite my power and capability. Can you talk to your private investigator? Mine, couldn't get anything to date and it's becoming frustrating, to be honest" I said."Ken, I don't understand all you've been saying. First, it was Alice, and now, who? Who are you talking about? Talk to my private investigator for what? Look, I'm not saying that I won't do that but for what reason? I mean, I have no idea what
Alice Anderson"What in the world did you guys just bring home?!! You guys are being ridiculous right now? Did I write the list or not? I gave the list to you personally, Ken. And, why are there so many items missing?" I bombard the guys with so many questions. They just came back after leaving the house an hour ago and, when they decide to return, this is what they brought to us. All the items they brought are weird. Definitely not what is on the list.I watch as they all gave me their innocent look. Like, I'm going to fall for that. "You sound like my wife babe" Ken said sweetly."Stop giving me that tone, Ken. Of course, I'm your wife! And, this is ridiculous!""Geez! Alice, calm down, will you? You're acting like a pregnant woman" Alex said. "Well, why am I not surprised? Your friend said that to me some hours ago. I guess, if I'm pregnant then y'all should be happy then... What do you think?" I said, rolling my eyes at him before turning to face Ken and pointing my index fing
Alice Anderson"I'm glad you love this place. I did this so you can forget about everything and clear your head over here" He said and peck my lip."I know and I do. A lot, a lot, and a lot!" I exclaimed, excitedly before looking around us again. We've been waiting for the rented cars they paid for and still not here yet they ought to be here for the past five minutes but there's no sign of them. I guess, we will have to wait some more. "You two look so cute right now. I swear, you're making me want a man for myself" Jessica said in an awe tone."Then go find yourself one. Stop daydreaming and work on getting yourself a man" Philip said to her and smirked. I do not know what has been going on between these two but whatever it is, they will make a great couple. That, I'm sure of."I wasn't even talking to you Philip so, do you interfere in my conversation with my sister" She glared hard at him as she said that. Sister?Maybe, I should begin to get used to it. "She's right. Don't bu
