What do you guys think who is behind that "strong force" that pulls our tall, dark and handsome dancer? Please leave a like for the story and don't forget to come back for the update.
The hot, dark and handsome man was replaced with a furious-looking Domenic Davis Jones. He came by my side, took my hand and then proceeded to drag me across the club, up the stairs until we came behind closed doors leaving the noise behind us. He almost banged my back against the door when he swung me to cage me with his hands. His fist met the wall next to my head as he growled "Mine.". I wasn't drunk, tipsy at most but I clearly saw how his eyes darkened with desire. "Don't you ever again let another man touch you Autumn, I swear you don't know what I'm capable of when someone touches what's mine." The air in my lungs caught fire. I had to take a few seconds to gather my thoughts, not wanting to do something stupid in an impulse. "Domenic I don't want to have this conversation again. I'm not yours." I say as I push on his chest trying to make some space between us. "Cut the bulls*it, Autumn, you are mine as much as I am yours." Domenic said fiuresly. "Well, that settles it be
Summer was waiting with my jacket and bag while Domenic walked behind me. She handed them to me and then we walked outside where two cars were waiting for us. "Summer the driver will drive you home, and please go to sleep. I'll drive Autumn home." Domenic barked his orders. "I already told you, you do not have to drive me." I say as I try to move next to Summer but he stops me once again. "There is no point in resisting Autumn, when this control freak sets his mind on something there is no power on earth that can change it." Summer admitted defeat as she hugged me and entered the car. Domenic took my hand and led me to the passenger seat. "I can walk on my own." I say as he opens the passenger door. "Get in." He ordered me as he used his body as a way of stopping me from leaving. God, he was controlling but hell was it attractive. I got into the car and he went so far as trying to put my seatbelt on. "Stop that, I can manage it myself." I tried to take it from his hands but the
Today I was determined not to think about him. I stayed in the cafe and buried myself in work so I wouldn't have time to think about anything else. I wasn't gonna see Summer today, so the possibilities of running into him were low. Or so I thought. As I was restocking the bar area a package was delivered to me. I immediately knew from who it was. I took the box upstair to my apartment and set in on my coffee table. I think I stared at that box for a good half an hour before finally opening it. It was a musical snow globe. Snow globes used to be one of my favorite things I had since I was a child, mom used to get me these for Christmas. This one had inside of it a small wooden house surrounded by trees. The windows were painted to look as if light were coming from inside. When Domenic and I were together, back in school. We talked about what would be the perfect place to go on a vacation after graduation. He insisted it would have to be small and private, like a cabin in the woods
Three and a half hours later both Summer and I were admiring our new short hair in the mirror."I can't believe you actually cut your hair for me," Summer said while admiring her short blonde curls, Joshua was right it really suited her face."Joshua did an amazing job, and besides now we have the same length of hair. I think we look amazing." I say as I brush through my now unusually voluminous hair."I know, how did I not know about this place? I take some photos and put them on my i***a, and give it a five-star. I mean I thought I would have to shave all off it but now look at this." She said as she shook her hair and then went to take photos with Joshua as I stayed in front of the mirror."Look who it is, I almost didn't recognize you." A familiar voice sounded behind me."Anthony, oh my God," I say surprised as I go to hug him. "When did you come back?""Last week. I would ask you how you are but I can see you are great." He said as we broke from the hug. "You finally let my broth
It's getting harder and harder to escape him, I'm scared I'm going give in to the temptation. The attraction is growing and he is doing everything he can to always be on my mind. The gifts, the flowers, telling me his desires. I'm embarrassed every time a package comes because I always fear they read the card he writes. Like the one today, "I can't wait to lick this off of you." On a fricking box of my favorite strawberry chocolate. "Are you gonna eat that?" Anthony asked and I dropped the box on the bar. "My God you scared me. What are you doing here?" I asked surprised. "I was in the neighborhood so I decided to stop by, I have the menu for your birthday dinner ready." My birthday is tomorrow. "Summer insisted she would bring the cake, so she has that covered." His light green eyes shoot up as I mention her. "Speaking of Summer, is she dating anyone?" "I knew it, from the second you laid your eyes on her I knew you liked her." Anthony smiles as he leans over the bar. "That's bec
Stupid. I'm stupid for even feeling sad right now it's my birthday for God's sake. And besides what did I even expect from him, I knew it wouldn't lead to anything. I could never trust him, I just hoped... "Can I help you with something else?" The cashier asked me as he packed the wine in the bags. "No, sorry. That's all thank you." I snap back from my thoughts, as I pay for the wine for the dinner tonight and go out as someone calls for me. "Autumn!" I know that voice. "Leo! OMG what are you doing here?" I haven't seen him in almost a year. "I just came back from Scotland, I ended my work there and the company asked me to return." Leo and I have been friends for more than five years, he was the one who pushed me to open the cafe. "That's amazing, New York misses you." I say jokingly. "I hope it wasn't just the city who missed me." He says as his hands move behind my neck to pull me in for a kiss. Ohh when I say friend I mean a special friend. We were never in a relationship bu
If you still feel like it you can join us for dinner, you have the address. Press sent. "A bit dry don't you think?" Summer commented as she looked at my phone. "Don't you know it's rude to read other people's messages?" I say as I press the phone to my chest. Which reminds me I haven't texted Leo the address. As I type on my phone again Summer leans over. "Who is Leo?" I smiled as I turned to her. "Leo is an old friend of mine, he just came back to the city. I ran into him today." I explain as I tose my phone aside. "He sent you a lot of eggplant emojis?" Nothing escapes her. "I'll be honest with you because I know you won't judge. Leo is my friend with benefits." Summer raises her eyebrows in surprise. "You guys have s*x?" Straight to the point as always. "Well yes, but without the sentimental complications. We are both free to do what we want."Summer looked as if she were doing hard math in her head. "And you thought it would be a good idea to invite him and my brother.?"
I could hear his voice, Domenic came and my heart began to beat faster. I rubbed my palms against my thighs as he came throw the door carrying a blue gift box. "Nicky just in time, we were about to eat." Summer said as Domenic came to my side kind of nervously. "Happy birthday Autumn." He said as he extended his hand to me. I stood up and took his hand. "Thank you." I say as he drops his hand, and then extends the box toward me. "We are doing presents after the cake Nicky, take a seat." Summer said as Domenic went to sit next to her instead of me. I thought he would sit next to me, God it doesn't matter where he sits. It shouldn't bother me. "Well if everybody is here, let's start eating. " Anthony said as he sat next to me and Joshua across. The dinner was fun, we talked, and we laughed. The guys seemed to like Domenic and he seems he was enjoying himself as well. I couth him looking at me several times, and our eyes did the talking for us. After we had coffee Anthony and Summer
Alex's POVI woke up with a smile on my face as the light of the day shined over my face. Despite the cold, I wrapped myself into a blanket and sat in the corner of my balcony, breathing in the familiar salty ocean air. I used to sit here and watch over the driveway, waiting for Adam's car to drive in, and while everything seemed the same, everything had changed. Now, we were together, dreaming about a future and enjoying the present. A day I once dreaded would never come was now here and the happines set in my chest could be painted in a million colours. I smiled to myself, thinking about how far I’d come. How we had come. With Adam, I had learned to be whole. I closed my eyes, letting the wind brush across my face, and took a deep breath. The salty air mixed with the faint scent of coffee surrounded me too and I suddenly opened my eyes to meet Mrs.Henrdics standing at the balcony door with coffee in hand."Good morning." She says as she walks over to me and hands me to warm cup. "I
"How is Autumn?" Eloise asks us as soon as we walk in leaving her cup of tea on the living room table."She is alright, as is the baby. They are gonna keep her overnight. Domenic stayed behind but I think Richard and Sasha will go home soon." I say as her eyes travel to the spot where Alex and I are holding hands when my mother comes to stand by Eloise. The smile on her face told me everything I needed to know."So... the two of you..." Eloise gestures between Alex and me. "How long has this been going on?" She asks."A while now," Alex says. "And before you start, it was my idea to keep it a secret. I didn't want our families involved before we were sure of where this was going." "I think that was very sensible of you." My mother says as she joins the conversation. "So now that you are sharing the news does it mean it's official?" "But they didn't share the news, they were discovered in a secret. There is a clear distinction." Eloise says.Alex laughs softly at Eloise’s comment, squ
"How is she? Can I see her?" Domenic asks as he jumps to get to him before everyone else. "Miss Cromwell is fine, she and the baby girl are stable. Her blood pressure went up which caused her to faint. I'm going to recommend bed rest until the baby gets here to avoid any possible complications." The doctor says and one could see and feel the worry melt off of our backs. "Did you talk to her? Did she remember anything? Is that why she had the crisis?" Richard asked as I stepped back and took Alex to my side wrapping my hand around her, keeping her close. Perhaps it wasn't the right moment but being able to hold her in public gave me a sense of power I never had before. "We talked for a brief moment and she described to me what happened, all the excitement of the wedding and the events that happened after took a toll on her, but she remains not remembering the past." We listen as the doctor talks and Alex smiles. We didn't care about the memories so much anymore. Autumn was alright
"What happened?" Richard yells as he runs to Autumn's side, almost crushing down at the site of her unconscious body in Domenic's hands. "I'm so sorry... I didn't think..." Rachel said as she watched what her words caused. "What did you do?" Richard asks her with fury in his eyes but Rachel only stares at Autumn in shock while Leo does the best he can to hold on to her. "Help is on its way!" Alex yells as she comes back and sticks to my side. Her hands are cold as they slip into mine. I wasn't sure if it was from the cold or from the situation that was in front of us with both Autumn and Sasha. "Dont wait. Get her in the car and drive to the hospital. I'll go with you and make sure they take good care of her." My dad says as he helps Richard stand up and move away from Autumn. Domenic lifts her in the air, and her veil falls down onto the floor. The sight was heartbreaking, this day turned out to be everything but perfect. First Alice, now this. I just hope it doesn't get any wo
Miguel jumps at Alice, grabbing her hand while the other guy manages to take the gun from her, ultimately pinning her to the ground when Alex pulls me back as the rest of the family gets up and gathers up at the front. “Let go of me, I'm not done yet!” Alice yells as she struggles to free herself but to no use as Miguel ties her hand to her back. “It's over Alice, it's finally over. You won't be able to hurt us ever again.” Domenic says as he presses Autumn to his side while Miguel lifts Alice, her hands pinned at her back. “Take her to the security room and call the police. She won't escape this time, not on my watch.” Richard says while rubbing Autumn's shoulder, trying to make sure she is ok. She look pale, shook but somewhat alright. She held onto Domenic the same way Alex didn't let go of my hand all this time. “He is lying to you, everyone is…” Alice says but Miguel drags her away. She was trying to do damage to the last second she could use. So much haterade in such a s
I always found weddings to be beautiful, yet this one was special. This was about my friend, someone who I knew would always be in my life, but I somehow knew that from the day I met her. Now sitting here, watching the smile on her face as she stared at the face of her loved one, the man she chose yet again despite every odd, despite not knowing the past. A path she chose solely based on what she felt within herself, and that was love. I had my doubts about it, I had my doubts about Domenic... the things I knew about their past, the things I didn't share with anyone else, not Alex, not Richard... I saw the regret in his eyes, I saw the pain but I also saw the love... and I wish them happiness. The same one I wished for myself and the woman who was sitting next to me right now. My love. My Alex. Today wasn't just the start of a new life for Autumn, this was also the day that meant something big for Alex and me. This was the day we would finally stop hiding. The day everyone would final
"Adam, where the hell were you? We are going to be late and you still haven't changed." Mom yells at me as soon as I step through the door. "I had some business to take care of. Dont worry I'll be ready in time." "Business, on a day like this one." Mom asks, her nad on her hip and eyebrow raised scepticly. "You look great by the way, where is Dad? You should go check he doesn't get something on his suit before we have to leave... I'll go shower now, bye." I manage to ramble up and run upstairs to get ready. Luck had it that Rosie had already got my clothes ready and waiting for me on the bed so I showered, got my hair ready, and got dressed just as a text came for me letting me know Derek was booked and taken care of. One more reason to party. ... "See, there was no reason for all that rushing. I had plenty of time to finish my meal." Dad said as we got out of the car at the Cromwell mention. It’s the perfect place for a wedding...grand, romantic, and more than enough to make an
Adam's POV Autumn's wedding day... Out of everything I could imagine myself doing on my friend's wedding day, walking into an old closed underground parking lot was not one of them but the situation called for it. After my contacts in the police did their investigations they brought to my attention that as I suspected this wasn't Derek's first rodeo at stalking a woman who bore a resemblance to his ex. It went so far that he got a red stamp on his passport preventing him from ever entering England again after stalking a prime minister's daughter. Boy sure likes to play in the big leagues. Now I didn't have the power to expel him from America but I had enough to put him behind bars. Yet first I wanted to have a little chat with him... for that, I used the side connections that I as a lawyer swore I would never usebut for Alex, there isn't a line in this world I wouldn't cross. After walking through the dark I approached the spot with a light that handed over Derek's head while he wa
"Why are you going through my phone, that's private?" I say as I walk towards him and put the glasses on the table before reaching for my phone. "Why are you keeping secrets from me?" Adam asks as he holds the phone out of my reach. "It's nothing, I'm handling it." Adams eyes narrow, darkness overcomes them but I know I dont have to fear him. I can feel that his anger is rising but the love he has for me shines behind the frustration he's feeling. "How exactly are you handling it?" He asks, each word leaving his mouth slowly. "Well for starters, I have Miguel driving me when I need to leave the house so he can't approach me again. I gave orders that the flowers he sends me to get sent back... that also the reason why your flowers got returned..." I say as I play with my fingers at the nape of my stomach. " and after the wedding, I will have my uncle help me turn the case to the police so he won't be able to stalk me ever again." By the time I say all the words I'm left standing out
