After some questions get answered, will we still have a wedding? Stay tuned...
"The nightmare I had... about the two of you kissing... That was real, wasn't it?" I ask and his face gives me the answer I didn't want. "She kissed me, not that is any kind of an excuse but... yes." Somehow in this moment, I would have preferred if he lied to me. For some reason it makes me feel like he's less mine. "But nothing more ever happened between us. Never, I swear on my life. That was just a moment and it never meant anything to me." Now that does feel like the absolute truth to me, the look in his eyes leaves me without a doubt. "I believe you, Domenic." I say as I squese his hand and smile. "But next time tell me the truth right away, sooner or later all of you are going to need to tell me everything. Wherever it's when the baby gets born, or sooner." If I find my past before. "Is everything alright?" Father asks as he enters all of a sudden. "Yes." I say as I let go of Domenic hand and turn to him. "Where have you been? I haven't seen you at breakfast." Which is stra
"Because I already know all the answers to your questions, and I cant, I won't be the one to give them to you. That is simply a responsibility I do not want." He knows he is the only one I can ask, the only one without any reasons to hide things from me. Without him, I want to be able to draw out the truth everyone wants to protect me from. "Leo, please. Tell me what you know, what are they hiding from me." At this point, if I need to beg I will. "Autumn I already said I won't. But I will give you one piece of advice." He says with a pause. "Live this reality that you have now, forget about digging in the past. Dont sacrifice the happiness oblivion has provided you with." That was not what I expected, but the heaviness of his words resigned with me for days. Every time I tell myself that I should let the past stay in the past the doubt makes me question myself all over again. I sit next to the picture of my mother, the longing sensation sits on my chest as I try to imagine what did
"Is there a problem? I just want to see my mother's things." I say as I try to appear relaxed in my chair. One person who was definitely not relaxed was Dad, alongside everybody else except for Rachel and Leo. "No there isn't a problem, Mrs Hendrics will just have to look for them. After she died we didn't keep them at hand." Why wouldn't you hold onto the things that were important to your loved one? "Why not? You kept the pictures." I ask. "Well the pictures were for you, but the things..." He poused to find the words. "Other things were just too painful to keep around in sight." Aunt Eloise said. "OK, get them for me tomorrow." I say and we return to eating the rest of our dinner in peace."You are going to sleep already?" Domenic asked as he came out of the bathroom and I was already in bed. "Yes, I feel rather tired after that dinner we just had." I say as I fix the pillow behind me. "Do you think Aunt Eloise is mad at me for taking Rachel's side? I was just so sick of how t
Of course, come in." I say to my father. He comes in closes the door behind him and takes a chair to sit by the bed. "I just hope you are not here to talk to me about what happened at dinner, all of you should treat Rachel better." I do want to make that clear from the start. "That's not what I wanted to talk about, I see that you like her and I don't want to meddel in that. But at the same time, you shouldn't ask me to treat her differently, especially when I don't know how. It's not like she made a big effort herself." Actually, I think he just isn't open to the idea of having her here. "There are a lot of things you don't know about." He says. "Then why don't you tell me?" I want to support him, like he has done with me."My father, your grandfather...hmm. He had an after with Rachel's mother, and when she told him she got pregnant he told her to get rid of it. He couldn't have a baby out of marriage, he cared more about the honorability of our last name than recognizing a bastar
The wedding day "Oh my God... you look... absolutely stunning Autumn." Summer says as she stands behind me while I look at myself in the mirror."You think?" I ask, smoothing the white silk fabric over my stomach. "Absolutely, Nicky is going to fall onto his ass when he sees you." She says as she fixes the curll on my hair so that the earing could be seen."They were my mother, do you like them?" It was like having a piece of her with me."They suit you, elegant and refined, just like you." Summer surely knew how to flatter someone."Why is this taking so long? When can we go downstairs?" I ask nervously as I try to take a look at the garden but Summer pulls me back."No, no... We can't risk the groom seeing the bride before the wedding starts." Whoever invented that tradition is an idiot, I haven't seen Domenic since last night when Anthony took him out on his last bachelor night while Summer and I stayed here and had a girl's night with Alex."Uhh, I'm just nervous." I say, I could
"Put the gun down, Alice." Domenic says as he shields me with his body. My father also wants to step forward but she points the gut at him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Alice wawes the gun as she steps forward. "All of you, sit down. Now!" She yells so loud it makes me jump. "Dad, please get back." I try to reach him but Domenic keeps me behind him as everyone does like she asked them to do. "I want to be the first one to congratulate you two. It is truly admirable that after everything I did you two still managed to end up together." I don't like the way she is waving that gun, she is upset and unpredictable yet cerfull enough to make sure no one takes a try to get to her. "What do you want?" I yell over Domenic's shoulder despite him wanting to stop me. "It's a bit late for that Autumn. But since you don't remember it, I'll do a little rehash for you." "Leave her alone Alice." Gregory says as she steps in front of Domenic. "Really, after how you hated her, after
Miguel jumps at Alice, grabbing her hand while the other guy manages to take the gun from her, ultimately pinning her to the ground.“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 preses me to his side and Miguel lifts Alice up.“Take her to the security room and call the police. She won't escape this time, not on my watch.” Dad says before touching my shoulder, making sure I'm ok.“He is lying to you, everyone is…” Alice says but Miguel drags her away as the rest of us take a huge breath of relief.“I think I will make my leave at once. Congratulations on… the wedding.” The judge says, clearly shaken up.“We will see you out.” Summer says, following him out with Anthony.“Are you alright? Do you need to sit down?” Alex says as she rushes to me, Adam as well."Yes, can someone get me some water, please?" I s
At first, I hear murmured sounds around me alongside the annoying beeping coming from the hospital machine but I don't open my eyes as the sound clears itself and I hear Domenic's voice. "...but will she be ok? When will she wake up?" He asks someone. "She is resting now, when she wakes up the doctor will report to you, for now, it's best if you go wait in the waiting room. I have some tests I need to run." The woman's voice says. "Do you think it's possible she got her memories back, ist just that she never had an episode this bad. The doctor warned us about..." "We will know more once she wakes up, please sir, you need to leave now." She says again and then I feel him taking my hand and kissing my forehead. "Alright, if anything happens I'll be outside. If she wakes up..." He says as he lets go of my hand and I hear his footsteps giving away and the door shut."You can open your eyes now, he is gone." She says and I slowly open my eyes. "How did you..." "I've been a nurse for
