"Open your eyes my child." I heard a female voice.

As I opened my eyes and looked around, it was some unknown place. And then I remembered about my baby. As I looked down on my belly, my baby bump was gone.

"My baby! Where is my baby? Why am I here? What place is it.?" I asked the lady.

I couldn't hold my tears at the thought of losing my baby.

"You and your baby have died. This is the world of souls. " That lady said.

"Died? What nonsense are you saying? My baby can't die. Who are you? Why are you saying ridiculous stuff?" I shouted at her.

"She is your mother, my princess. '' a voice came from behind. I need not turn around to tell who it is. I've been dying to hear this voice again.

"Dad," I whispered as fresh tears formed in my eyes. I ran to him and hugged him tightly as if my life depends on that hug.

"I missed you so much dad. Why did you leave me? You know after you left Lucas and Natasha, they killed your grandchild . I couldn't protect my baby. I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry dad." I said.

"I know everything about my baby. I know how much my poor child has suffered because of those devils." He replied.

"All hugs for dad, nothing for mom?" The lady said.

"Dad, what is she talking about?" I asked him.

"Alina, she is your mother. You always used to say that you miss your mother and want to see her. But I always kept all her pictures away from you, thinking that those pictures will remind you of her again and again." Dad said.

Mom came forward and kissed my temple.

"My child, I always wanted to see you and your father again but never thought to see you both like this. Mom is really sorry to leave you that early baby." She said with teary eyes.

I hugged them both. I'm happy to see my parents again. " Mom, I don't want this to end like this. I want them to suffer. I want to punish them for hurting my child." I said.

"I know my child. I feel the same. I can send you back to the world. " She said.

"Then, can the three of us go back?" I asked curiously.

"No baby, only you will go. Promise me you will not let them succeed this time." She said and I promised her.

Next moment I found myself in a room, dressed like a bride. I was confused why I was dressed in a bridal gown. I picked my phone from the dressing table and checked the date . It was 30th October, 2021. It was the day when I got married to Lucas 2 years ago. Does that mean I travelled to the past?

I walked out to see if it's really my wedding day or I'm just assuming things. It still feels like a dream.

As I walked out, I saw Lucas and Natasha were making out in a corner. They were always doing this behind my back but I was dumb enough to see their real face.

I took my phone and clicked some pictures and recorded it as well. Then I went back to my place and sat on the chair.

I remember this day was so special for me. I was so excited to get married to my love.

Never expected that he was dating my best friend behind my back. I can't even consider her friend anymore. My only friend is Natalie.

As I was lost in the trail of my thoughts, Natalie and Natasha came inside.

"Seems like someone can't wait to get married to her lover." Natalie teased me and Natasha just smiled. I'm sure it's a fake one. I pretended to blush at her comment .

'Lover, my foot. Only if I could tell you what that so-called lover has done to me in future.'

I thought to myself.

"Are you excited for your first night, Alina? I've bought you pairs of sexy lingerie for a hot and steamy night. You can thank me later." Natalie winked at me and I could see Natasha clenching her jaw and shooting me daggers.

How could I never notice her hatred toward me before?

"Sure Natalie, I'll enjoy the night with my love." I said just to annoy Natasha even more.

'Hell no, I would just end up pucking at the sight of that man.' I thought to myself.

"Are you missing your dad?" She asked.

"Yes," I said honestly. Last time too I missed him a lot on this day.

"Don't be upset Alina, your father must be watching you from heaven. " Natasha said in a comforting tone.

I want to beat this bitch till death. She killed my father now acting all concerned.

"Let's go Alina, my dad will walk you down the Aisle. " Natalie said.

"You guys can leave first and I'm thankful for your dad to be that thoughtful about me, but I'll walk down the Aisle alone."

After that I pushed them out of the room as an idea popped in my head and I smirked at my thought.

'Just wait for it Natasha and Lucas. I'm back to take my revenge. Today I'll take the first step to my revenge.'

As I walked down the Aisle, all eyes were looking at me in shock. And Lucas's face went pale. Walking down this aisle last time felt like the best thing of my life and today it feels the same because I'm on the path to my revenge.

I stood beside Lucas and he whispered to me, " What is all this Alina? This is so embarrassing. Why are you wearing a black gown?"

"Chill, honey. I wanted to do something different from others." I said while trying my best to hold back my laughter because of the expression on his and Natasha's face.

"Let's start the ceremony. " the priest said.

Lucas held my hands and smiled sweetly. At the time I was so whipped for this smile but now a smile is the last thing I would ever want to see on his face.

"Lucas Marshall, Do you take Alina Martin for your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" Priest asked.

"Yes, I do." Lucas said.

"Alina Martin, do you take Lucas Marshall for your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" Priest asked me.

"No, I don't. " I said.

Everyone started talking and whispering about it. Lucas and Natasha seemed frustrated.

"What are you doing Alina?" Natasha asked me.

"I should be the one asking you Natasha, what were you doing with my fiance? " I asked and she looked confused.

I took out my phone and played the video of them making out to everyone.

"This is not real Alina." Lucas tried to convince me and I slapped him.

"Shut the fuck up. I've seen it with my own eyes. I know everything about your drama. She is your girlfriend but you are marrying me only for wealth. " I shouted at him.

"And one more thing. You are kicked out of the company. I've sent this video to the board of directors as well. We have decided to remove you from the position of CEO." I told him.

The Color of his face faded after hearing my words. " You love me Alina. You can't do this to you." He said.

"I don't love a cheater like this and this is my company, I can do whatever I want. Also I'm breaking our engagement and this wedding is called off. " I said and walked out with Natalie.

"I can't believe Alina, Lucas and Natasha could do such a thing." Natalie said as we were driving back home.

"Trust me Natalie, they are worse than you can even imagine. They killed dad." I told her and her eyes widened in shock

"What? Did they kill your father?" She asked.

"Yes, and we need to find evidence against them soon." I said.

"Don't worry Alina. I'm here for you. Let's destroy them together. " She said.

I saw some cars were following us and I sped up. "I think they sent their men to catch us." I told her.

I was trying my best to get away from them but one of the cars took over us and blocked the way ahead. I had to press break.

Within a minute our car was surrounded by those men. They forcefully pulled us out of the car.

One of them said,"Come on guys, it's time to kill her."

"What about this girl?" Another man asked while grabbing Natalie's hairs.

"We are only ordered to kill Alina and we can keep the other for having fun." A guy suggested and they all started laughing.

"Let's take them to our base and we'll kill her there." They decided.

As they were moving us into their car, a black Lamborghini was coming towards us and a guy came out of it.

I was shocked to see him again after years.

The guy started fighting with Lucas's men. Natalie was literally drooling at the sight of him fighting all those bad guys.

"Alina, isn't he your crush from your college? I forgot his name." Natalie whispered in my ears.

"Anton Rodriguez. "Those words left my mouth automatically.

"Yes, the handsome hunk Anton Rodriguez." Natalie said. I never told Natalie about how things ended between me and Anton. She has no idea about it.

"Are you fine?" Anton asked me.

"Why are you here, Anton?" I asked angrily.

"Ouch, that's not the way to thank someone. " he said sarcastically.

    "Why are you here, Anton?" I asked angrily. "Ouch, that's not the way to thank someone. " he said sarcastically. "Just cut the crap already. Why are you back now?" I asked again. "That's definitely not how my Alina was 4 years ago." He said."I'm not yours. And this is how I am now. All thanks to back to back betrayals from people I trusted. " I glared at him."I don't understand why you are being cold to me. " He asked. I could see hurt in his eyes.'Don't melt Alina. Don't forget what he did 4 years ago. He is just like Lucas and Natasha. ' My conscience told me."Because I hate you, Anton Rodriguez. I don't need your help. I'll manage on my own. Just get lost."

    "As you all know, after the betrayal by my so-called fiance, I can't trust anyone. My father worked so hard to build this empire. I can't let it fall into the wrong hands. So from now onwards, I'm going to handle the business on my own." I said, and everyone nodded in understanding."We are glad that you finally decided to follow your father's step," one of the shareholders said.I heard the door open, and someone walked in," Sorry for being late, I hope I didn't miss anything important. " I was shocked to see him."What are you doing here, Mr Rodriguez?" I asked through gritted teeth. He is the last person I would expect to be here."To attend the meeting, obviously," he said amusingly. "Excuse me?" I raised my brows at him."You are excused, Miss Martin. I'm also a shareholder of your company. I've purchased 20% of the shares, so I've every right to be in this meeting,"he announced to my utter shock. "So, let's continue," he said and settled on an empty chair.The whole meeting wa

    “Sir, we saw Alina entering Lucas's mansion secretly.” My bodyguard informed me. I sent a team of my men to keep an eye on Alina to make sure she is safe, she is so stubborn that she won't ask my help.“Okay, I'll be there and make sure that she is safe.” I told him.“Zack, get the car ready. We are going to Lucas's place.” I ordered my assistant.“Yes, sir.”Zack drove us to his mansion.“Zack, I'm going inside and you stay here I'll call you if I need you inside.” I said and entered the mansion through the back door. ‘ I hope you are safe Alina.’I was searching around to find her. And finally my eyes landed on her. She was hiding behind a pillar and eavesdropping on the conversation between Natasha and Lucas. Before I could reach her, she suddenly jumped and her phone fell. It created a sound that got their attention. Before they could see her, I dragged her by her arm.“Zack, we are coming. Get the car ready.”I instructed Zack over the call.As we were out of the mansion, she

    "Find out that girl Maria and bring her right here." I told my bodyguard."Okay, sir."All these years, I was not even aware of all the shit that happened behind my back. I couldn't figure out why Alina started avoiding me suddenly. I thought she must have figured out that I liked her and she wasn't comfortable about that fact. That's why she was ignoring me. Only if I would have mustered courage to confront her about that.I want to meet her, I should get going, probably. I probably don't know what I would do if she won't believe me, but I can't just let go of her just like that. I drove to her place and rang the bell."What are you doing here?" She asked."We need to talk ." I said ."I don't think there is anything to talk about." She replied coldly. " Alina, believe me, I had nothing to do with Maria. She was lying to you." I tried to persuade her."I don't believe you anymore, Anton Rodriguez. " I growled. "Alina, just give me a chance to explain. " I requested her." You had

    "What are you planning to do next?" Anton asked Alina. "Right now, my focus is to find evidence against them for killing my father." She balled her fist.On the other hand, Anton was shocked at this revelation," What? Did they kill your dad?" "Yes, they killed him because he got to see their real faces." She replied with gritted teeth. "I heard Uncle died because of cardiac arrest." He mumbled. "No, they poisoned his drink. I was the fool to believe them. Because of my foolishness, my father died. I failed to be a good daughter. " Her eyes moistened. "No, you didn't fail. You don't have to blame yourself for the deeds of others.

    "Can I really do this?" Alina was very nervous as she had an important business meeting. She has no experience in the business field, so she is not confident enough. "You can do it, Alina. I'm here with you." Anton tried to encourage her."But I don't know anything about business. After Lucas's betrayal, I decided to take over business without even realising that it's not my cup of tea to handle it." She said. " I can help you with this." Anton said confidently. "Really?" Her eyes lit up with hope."But I have one condition. " He said. "What?" "You won't shut down your art gallery. " He replied. "But I have to focus on business now." Alina said. "Alina, your real passion is art, and your dad would have never wanted you to give up on your passion, so please don't give up. I can help you manage the business as much as I can." Anton said. Alina hugged him tightly, " Thank you so much for supporting me. ""It's my pleasure. "Then Anton guided Alina about the business and how to h

    "I have asked my men to keep close eye on them. Even their mobile phone and telephone lines are being tapped. We will find the evidence soon." Anton said. "No matter how many times I thank you, it's never enough. " Alina said with a gaze of admiration for him. "Stop thanking me, Alina. I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for uncle. After getting his letter, I promised him to take care of you for the rest of my life." He said while squeezing her hand a little. Alina was deeply touched by his words. She felt guilty for misunderstanding him and hating him. She treated him badly. This made her a little sad. "Why are you sad?" He asked. "Nothing, I treated you badly in the past." She admitted. "Your sad phase is not going to make it up. You should do something else instead. " He said. "What is it?" "You should also make the promise to take care of me for the rest of your life." He winked at her. She lowered her head and smiled shyly. "You said that you liked me before.

"Why are you being so sweet all of a sudden?" She chuckled. "I was born sweet. " he smirked. "Not again." She rolled her eyes and walked towards the door.When she was about to unlock the door, it was already unlocked. Anxiety rushed in her.She quickly stepped in, and her eyes widened in horror. She quickly stepped out and went to Anton. "What happened ? Are you missing me already?" he was teasing her, but her expressions made her worried. "What's wrong, Alina?" his voice softened. "There-there..." she was sobbing hard pointing towards her house. "Shhhhh, calm down. It's alright, don't cry." he hugged her."I'll just go inside and check on it." He said."No, you are not going. Don't leave me. Please." Seeing the pain in her eyes, his heart was aching. "Okay, fine. I'm not leaving you.

    The villa was a picture-perfect scene of Christmas cheer. Twinkling lights adorned the exterior, casting a warm glow over the snow-dusted garden, while a large Christmas tree stood proudly in the living room, its ornaments glinting in the soft light. The scent of fresh pine and cinnamon filled the air, mingling with the laughter and chatter of friends and family. Alina held her one-month-old daughter close, cradling the tiny bundle in her arms as guests arrived. She smiled, watching as Linton and Gabriel practically hovered around her, peering down at the baby with wide-eyed wonder. “Is she really my sister?Sometimes it feels like a dream mommy.” Linton asked for the tenth time, his voice filled with awe. Alina chuckled softly. “Yes, sweetheart. She’s really your sister. You got exactly what you asked Santa for last Christmas.” Linton beamed, reaching out a cautious hand to touch his sister’s tiny fingers. “Hi, baby sister,” he whispered. “ I’ll always protect you.” Gabriel,

    The doorbell rang, and Alina smiled, knowing exactly who it was. A few moments later, Linton’s excited voice echoed through the hall as he raced toward the door to greet his best friend, Gabriel. “Gabriel!” Linton yelled, throwing the door open and giving his friend a high-five. Gabriel grinned as he stepped inside, holding a little gift bag in his hand. “Hey, Linton! Hi, Aunt Alina!” Gabriel greeted, his eyes wide with excitement as he approached her. “How’s the baby?” Alina chuckled, patting her belly. “Getting bigger every day, Gabriel. And she’s quite active today.” Linton immediately perched himself beside his mom, his eyes sparkling with interest. “Can I talk to her again, Mommy?” he asked with a shy smile. “Of course, sweetheart.” She smoothed down her shirt and leaned back so the boys could get closer. Gabriel scooted onto the couch beside Alina, looking both curious and excited. He handed her the little gift bag, inside of which was a small stuffed bunny with floppy ea

    Alina rested on the couch, a blanket draped over her legs and her hand resting on her rounded belly. At seven months pregnant, her baby bump was unmistakable, and it was a joy to see how much it had become a part of the family’s daily life. From Anton’s frequent hand resting over her belly to Linton’s fascination with “talking” to his baby sibling, the whole house seemed to radiate warmth and anticipation. Linton, bursting with excitement, had clambered up onto the couch beside her, his small hands gingerly placed over her belly as if holding a fragile treasure. He leaned in close, his expression serious as he started whispering to the baby. “Hi, baby sis,” Linton said, his voice soft but filled with excitement. “It’s me, Linton, your big brother! I can’t wait to meet you, and I’m gonna teach you everything I know. We’re gonna play so many games, and I’ll teach you how to draw dinosaurs and superheroes. And… and I’ll share my toys, too!” Alina chuckled, resting her hand over his.

    Alina gently ruffled Linton’s hair, nudging him awake. Anton was already up, sipping his coffee in the kitchen, as she whispered to their son, "Wake up, Linton. I have a surprise for you today." Linton’s eyes fluttered open, and he rubbed them with his small fists, his face brightening instantly at the word “surprise.” “A surprise? Where are we going, Mommy?” Alina smiled. “You’ll see soon enough. Go get dressed, and we’ll be on our way.” As Linton scrambled out of bed and rushed to get ready, Alina made her way to the kitchen. She kissed Anton on the cheek, feeling a surge of excitement about the secret she was about to share. She had been working on a special painting for weeks, pouring her heart into every brushstroke, and today, she would finally reveal it. “Where are we off to this morning?” Anton asked, raising an eyebrow with curiosity as he sipped his coffee. “Just a little outing to the gallery. I have something special to show you both,” Alina replied, her eyes twin

    Alina and Anton pulled into the driveway of David and Isabella’s home. Their hearts were light, filled with the warmth of their recent trip to Paris and the excitement of reuniting with their little one. As they stepped out of the car, Linton’s energy was palpable; he bounced on his feet, his eyes sparkling with anticipation as he saw his parents getting down the car. "Mom-dad I missed you so much." Linton hugged their legs. Anton picked him up in his arms. “Are we ready to see Gabriel?” Anton asked, ruffling Linton’s hair. “Yes! I want to show him the new toys you brought!” Linton exclaimed, practically dragging his parents toward the front door. Alina chuckled at her son’s enthusiasm. “Hold on, buddy. Let’s not rush too much. We’ve got to make sure we greet everyone first.” They rang the doorbell, and moments later, David swung the door open, a wide grin lighting up his face. “Welcome back, you guys! We missed you! Literally ever since Linton got to know you are coming he h

    Steam filled the bathroom, the warm mist clinging to the glass walls of the shower as water falling softly. Alina leaned against the cool tiles, her body relaxing under the hot spray. She felt a gentle touch at her waist, and without opening her eyes, she knew it was Anton. "Mind if I join you?" his deep voice rumbled softly in her ear, a smile evident in his tone. Alina smiled and turned slightly, glancing over her shoulder. "Of course sweetheart. You never need permission." Anton chuckled, stepping closer, his hands slowly trailing up her arms, pulling her back against his chest. The heat of his body mixed with the warmth of the water, enveloping her in comfort and safety. "I thought I’d be polite today so I was asking for permission," he teased, his lips brushing against the side of her neck, sending a shiver down her spine. Alina leaned her head back, resting it against his shoulder. "You? Polite?" she teased back, the warmth of his breath tickling her skin. "Hey, I c

    David's house was alive with the sounds of giggles and shuffling papers as Linton and Gabriel sat side by side at the large wooden dining table, their books spread out before them. “Got it!” Gabriel declared triumphantly, holding up his math workbook. Linton, still scribbling away on his own page, glanced at him with a smirk. “You think you’re fast, huh? Let me check that.” He leaned over, playfully scrutinizing Gabriel’s work. “Hmm... looks right, but I bet I can finish mine faster.” “Oh, it’s on!” Gabriel grinned, and they both dove back into their homework with renewed energy. Isabella stood at the kitchen counter, watching the boys with a fond smile. She was whipping up pancake batter for their afternoon snack, the aroma of freshly made batter already filling the air. The kitchen was warm and inviting. She glanced over her shoulder at David, who was reading on the couch, occasionally glancing up to chuckle at the boys' competitive banter. “I love how determined they are,

    The next day, Paris greeted us with a warm breeze and a clear blue sky.Anton was already up, sipping on his coffee by the window as he admired the view. I walked over to him, still in my pajamas, and leaned against his arm, taking in the sight of the Eiffel Tower standing tall in the distance. “We’re really doing this, huh?” I asked, smiling as I looked up at him. Anton grinned, setting his cup down on the table. “Absolutely. Are you ready for a day of cliches and tourist photos?” I laughed, nodding. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” An hour later, we were standing at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and despite the crowds around us, I couldn’t help but feel the excitement bubbling up inside. Anton had his camera ready, capturing moments before we even started climbing. Every few steps, he’d stop, turn to me with that teasing smile, and snap a picture—of me laughing, of us together, of the view. "Okay, one more,” Anton said, holding up his phone, getting us both into the fram

    Anton’s hand brushed softly against the small of my back as we entered the suite, his touch lingering just a little longer than necessary. I looked around, taking in the breathtaking view from the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city of Paris. The Eiffel Tower sparkled in the distance. Everything about this place felt perfect—luxurious and romantic. The door clicked shut behind us, and the sound echoed in the quiet, intimate space. I placed my purse on the plush chair near the window and took a deep breath, letting the atmosphere of the city sink in. “We’re really here,” I said softly, more to myself than to Anton. Anton chuckled behind me, his arms sliding around my waist. “We are. No distractions. No meetings. Just you, me, and Paris.” I leaned back against him, closing my eyes and enjoying the warmth of his embrace. For the first time in what felt like forever, we had no obligations pulling us in different directions. Just us. I turned in his arms, looking up a
