It seems Alice is closer than we think. Stay tuned to see what happens next.
Alice was here, just a few feet from me. Autumn was so close to the person who hurt her without even realizing it. I had to steady myself, I couldn't react in front of Autumn otherwise she would suspect something."Why don't we go to the front desk, there was a computer glitch so I didn't get the appointment date." I say as I dig into my pocket as Autumn moves in front of me."Go ahead, I'm going to give Miguel the keys to bring the car up front." She nods her head as she slowly makes her way to the nurse's desk while I stand so I can see her waiting for Miguel to come stand next to me."Alice is here, in the hospital. She had the nerve to speak to Autumn in the restroom." I say as my blood boils."The restroom is connected from both ends of the hallway, she is probably gone by now." Miguel says as he points to the hallway leading left where there is another door into the restroom."Go to the hospital security and get the security cameras tapes. We need to look over them." I say as I
"It seems we have a lot of guests today." Autumn says as we pull into the driveway where the other cars are parked at. I recognized my father's and Summer's car, the other one I didn't recognize. "I didn't know Summer was coming." I say as I unbuckle her seatbelt."Neither did I, but it's nice she did. This way we can share the news with the entire family at once." Autumn was so excited to tell everyone the news, as was I. If only I didn't have to think about Alice at a time like this."Well let's go inside then." I got out of the car and met Autumn on the other side and walked slowly by her side.We went into the house where we heard people talking in the living room so went in to join them."Autumn, hey. How are you? What did the doctor say? Do we know the baby's gender?" Summer bombarded us with questions as soon as we stepped foot into the living room."Summer at least let her sit down first, then start the questioning." I tease Summer as I help Autumn take a sit in the middle of
"Aunt Rachel? I thought I only had one aunt." Autumn said confused as Rachel walked further into the hallway. "Ohh sweety, that's okay, I don't visit much." Rachel said as she walked passed Richard and stood in front of Autumn and me. "It's so nice to meet you." Rachel says with a laugh as Autumn looks at her confused. "You're my aunt, and you haven't met me before?" Autumn questioned her as Richard looked at me in panic. "Ohh I have, it's just as you lost your memory I thought I would reintroduce myself to you. We are going to have plenty of time to get to know each other again." She knew what she was doing. She figured Autumn didn't know things from her past and it's only pretending in front of Richard. "So nice to see your boyfriend again." Rachel said before directing herself to me. "How are you Domenic?" She asked as she offered me her hand and I had no other choice but to take it. "Good, and you?" I ask as the man who came in with Rachel clears his throat. "I'm sorry darli
"Richard, are you sure about this?" I ask him as I follow him out of the living room. "No, Domenic. But right now I have no other choice." He says as he doesn't stop walking until he gets to his office. "They have been here for five minutes and already managed to upset Autumn, making her ask a lot of questions." Questions I don't want to answer. None of us do. "How is she now?" He asks as he paces around the room. "She is upstairs with Summer, she's fine now." And I want it to stay that way, but with the new house guests, I don't know for how much longer she will stay like that. "You have a house near here, don't you? Summer mentioned something before." He asks me as an idea comes to his head. "Yes, we have a house by the beach not far from here. Why?" I ask him. "Could you take Autumn there, at least for today? Until I try to get things under control here." The last thing I want is to take Autumn away from the safest place she could possibly be right now when Alice is lurking
"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
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
"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
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
