Stay tuned...
"Who are you and what are you doing with my daughter?" I say as I rush to her. "Give her to me, now!" I yell and Prue cries while I try to take her from her arms. "Mrs.Davis, please. Let me explain." She says as Domenic and Dad rush into the nursery room. "What is going on?" Domenic asks as he comes to my side and helps Prue with the pacifier while I rock her in my arms. "How did she get in here? She was holding Prue." I say as Prue calms down. "Relax Autumn, this is Mrs.Smith the nurse I hired to help you with Prue." Dad says. "I don't need help to take care of my daughter, especially not a stranger." I'm more than capable of doing it myself, besides I got a bad feeling about her just by seeing her. "Mrs.Davis I assure you I have enough experience with babies, you can trust that I'll take good care of her until you recover completely." She cuts into the conversation. "It's not neccecery," I say again, but Dad puts his hand on my shoulder and says... "Dont be stubborn,
"Are you spying on us?" I ask in disbelief as she almost stumbles to find her footing."No, absolutely not." She says as she straightens her uniform. "I nearly wanted to come and talk to you once again, to thank you for letting me stay. You couldn't image how much I need this job." I look back at Domenic as he scups Prue into his arms."And that is your excuse for gluing your ear to my bedroom door?" I say as I look back at her."I wouldn't, I was about to knock when you opened the door." She says as she looks at Domenic as he approaches from my back."Mrs.Smith I think it's better you return to your room, you will be called if needed. Until then occupy yourself in other matters Mrs.Hendrics may instruct you." Domenic says and she nods her head before turning around and leaving."You still think I'm exaggerating, that is not normal behavior." I say to Domenic as I caress Prue's little face."Go find Summer, ok? Relax for a bit." He says and I feel like I'm crazy once again. Why can no
"I can't express enough how happy I am to have my first grandchild under this roof, may this celebration be the first of many." Dad says as he raises his glass, this family really enjoys making toasts. "I wouldn't mind hosting the next one at my estate, my granddaughter has to see where her father grew up." Gregory says, I sense Prue is not only going to be adored by her father but also by her grandfathers. "Actually I was thinking about having Prues christening at home, in the gardens like Mother and you had for Summer and me. The weather in May should be warm enough, or we could wait til June." Domenic mentioned this to me in the hospital, and seeing how much it means to him I couldn't possibly say no. And besides it's a perfect excuse to go back to New York after a long time. "I would love that, I will order the staff to make sure the gardens are at their peak for my little Prudence." While the rest of us mostly call her Prue, Gregory always refers to her as Prudence. I think it'
"You remember that?" Domenic asks and all that flashes through my mind is... fuck!!!"No, it's not that I remember it's just who else would get it for me. And we are the only ones with that tattoo. It would only make sense that you were the one who got it for me because you know what it means to us..." I'm rambling, I need to stop. "Am I right?" I ask."Yes, I got it for your birthday." He says as he sinks into deep thoughts."Are you ready, it's time we go downstairs." I ask as I turn to look at him in his white suit as Mrs.Hendricks brings in Prue in her little white puffy dress and adorable little white bow on her little head."Oh my God, look how adorable she looks. She is like an angel." I say as Domenic takes her in his arms."She takes after her father." He says and I narrow my eyes at him. "Tho she has your eyes." I hoped she would get his eyes, but the Cromwell Lennon gene prevailed there, just like I got them from my father."She is all fed and changed, after they take a few
..."Ohh, so the two of you are high school sweethearts, how romantic. Seeing how Mrs.Autumn joined the society last year and has lived a rather distant life from the spotlight I didn't imagine the two of you in the same educational system." How do I even play this, my answer can't reveal too much other vise how will I explain it to Domenic?I try and search my brain, to think about what they have told me about my life and what they haven't but it takes me a hot second so Domenic steps up for me."Autumn being brilliant as she is, managed to get a scholarship at our high institute, she was top of the class actually." I worked hard for my accomplishments, wanting to make a name for myself. Who knew the big name destiny had in store for me all my life?"I see, and you Autumn. Did you always know that Domenic is the one? And what about the years you spent apart, how was the reencounter?" Again, how do I answer that?"Well, I ignore some parts of my past due to the accident I suffered but I
Domenic's POV"Look look look, she is smiling at me!!" I call for Autumn while I play with Prue on the caret."Are you sure she isn't just having gases again?" Alex says as she leans over the couch and looks at us."Funny as always, Alex." I say as I wave a toy in her direction and Prue smiles again as Autumn brings me a cup of water."Ohh I see it, she is adorable. But remember what we read, that smile may not be as intentional as you may think." It's still cute as fuck."Have the two of you read the article yet?" Alex says as she waves the magazine in the air and Autumn plucks it out of her hands."Uhh, I can't even imagine that millions of strangers are staring at us right now." Autumn says as she flips the magazine to show me the photo. "At the very least we look great." She adds as she sits down," "High school sweethearts." She might as well have written "eternal lovers" while she was at it." "I think it's lovely." Alex says as she takes another copy of the magazine from the tab
"Don't forget I know everything, I was there that night. I could spill the whole story about the bet, how you purposely left the door open for us, how you broke and left her." Jacob made a pause and then continued with his evil laughter. "I wonder what Richard Cromwell would do if he found out what you did to his only daughter. Who knew that poor little scholarship girl we made fun of was the heir to the whole fortune of nothing less than the Cromwell Lennon family." This can't be happening right now, I can't let him come and ruin the happiness of my family. I can't lose Autumn and Prue, and that is exactly what would happen if she and Richard caught a word of this."Dont you dare come near my family, or else I am going to ruin you." I threatened him but he sounded unbothered."Haven't you heard? I guess you were too busy doing interviews and playing the happy father to enlist yourself in the business world." The interview. He must have recognized Autumn and that's how he made the conn
"Alright son, what is this about?" Dad says as soon as the door behind us closes. He knows something is up, and I don't know what words to choose to explain all of this to him."Can you please, umm... sit down." I say as I make sure the door is properly closed."You are starting to worry me Domenic, what is happening?" Dad asks as she takes a seat and I reluctantly join him."I have to...tell you something. More precisely I need to ask for your help." If anyone can help me it's him, unless the news of what I have done disappoints him."Tell me, son, I will do everything in my power to help you." He says as his eyes grow worried. "You are not sick, are you?" He asks."No, Dad. It's nothing of that sort." However, I feel like I would have preferred it to this."I need you to make an investment on my behalf. Into the Morelly constructions." Dad narows his eyes as he takes a second to think."Why would we invest it that? That foolish boy Jacob ruined the company." Of course, my father alre
