Stay tuned....
"Are you sure you want to be here?" Dominic asks as we walk over the wet grass and I hold myself by his arm. "I shouldn't have brought you to New York, the doctor said you needed to rest that leg." He says to my limping state. "I needed to be here, she was a big part of our story and now that part has come to an end. It's the end of a circle." I say as we reach the cemetery where Alice's funeral is being held. "Yeah, I still can't believe she died. She was finally getting a chance to change, and her mother took that away from her once again." Domenic was shaken by the news when the nurse told us, so was I. Alice saved my baby, she saved Domenic. The reason why I get to have my family by my side is that that is something I will forever be grateful for. It doesn't change the fact that Leo is gone, and without him, his family fell apart. Henry, even tho we did try to help will have to serve his punishment, but I promised I would take care of the twins and his mother just like I promise
Miguel got out of the car to open the door for me and when I saw the cafe... I couldn't believe my eyes. The cafe was open and clearly busy, with people coming out and going in simultaneously."What?... How is this possible?" I ask as Domenic offers me his hand to support myself."I reopened it for you. This was once your dream, and I want to be the man who makes your dreams come true. Want to go inside?" He asks as I stare at the door while the open sign moves left and right because of the wind."Yeah...Yes. Let's go in." I say, still stunned by the surprise as Domenic helps me walk.I enter the threshold and observe the chatter of the people buzzing all over the place as the familiar smell of freshly ground coffee fills my nostrils. "God how I missed this place." Everything was back to how I had left it, the books, the freshly replastered couch, the flowers Domenic originally filled the place. I look up to the second story of the cafe balcony when I hear a familiar voice."Autumn?"
Two months laterNew York, Davis Jones estate"I can't get over how beautiful everything looks. The gardens are spectacular, your dad and Rachel really did a great job organizing everything. He went all out." Truth to be told. there isn't anything Gregory wouldn't do for Pure."I still find it a bit odd, you know...seeing my Dad flirt with your Aunt." Summer says. "Not that there is anything wrong with it, I want him to be happy but it's still strange to look at." Yeah, that was rather unexpected, to say the least, but both of them look happy, and if they found companionship in one another who are we to rain on their parade?"At least the press will have something other to write about that isn't Domenic and me." After all that scandal broke out Domenics and Gregory's legal team did all the work to present proof that this was nothing but a revenge plot from Jacob, we gave a statement that nothing written was true and went on to live our lives in the normal matter. "Yeah. Two months lat
Domenic kisses me so profoundly I almost lose all of my breath, but I don't care. It would be a lovely way to go.He lifts himself up and takes off his shirt as I do with mine before he goes to tuck on my skirt."You have to unzip it," I say as I do it myself and lift my hip to allow him to pull it down. He steps off the bed for a moment and takes off my heels as well. Domenic holds my foot in the air and kisses the outside of it as he works his way up. Coming to a stop on my thigh where now I had a scar from when the bullet grazed me. Tracing it with his fingure until he reaches the waistband of my blue underwire and I again lift my hips making it easier for him to get rid of them.I sit up and work on his belt as he gathers all of my hair into his fist and pulls back, making me stare into his eyes as his other hand traces from my breasts to my neck, gently touching my chin until his grip tightens on my cheeks."Tell me your mine." He demands."I'm yours." The words leave my lips almo
I lean back in my chair and sip on my wine as I observe the chatter happening around the dining table. I love the noise, and how everybody seems to be talking to everybody, engaging in every topic, and somehow everything ends with some kind of an anecdote. Thinking back to all those diners I had alone in my apartments, with a bitter wine and a good book wishing I would be a part of something more, and right now I was sitting in the middle of it. Family, one I found in the most unexpected way. My family by blood and my family by choice. All together."What about you, Autumn?" Aunt Eloise asks bringing me out of my thoughts."I'm sorry?" I say as I bring my glass back to the table."Do you plan on returning to work or will you enjoy the riches you now possess?" Work? I always wanted to work. But never have I had a family, a child to raise. And with Domenic back in the office there really isn't any good reason for me to work as well. "Is it wrong that I want to stay at home?" I ask. "No
"I can't believe you are running late. The photographer is waiting to take the pictures." Summer quietly yelled at us as I was finishing putting a little white bow on Prue's head while throwing a glare at Domenic because it was his fault we didn't get up in time."It will only take a few more minutes. Prue is done and she is absolutely perfect, the only thing left is for me to put my shoes on." I say as I give Prue to Domenic and rush to get my shoes from the box."Why don't you go ahead Summer and wait for us downstairs?" Domenic suggests."Not a chance. If I leave you alone you just might hop onto Autumn and Joshua just did her hair. You guys are worse than rabbits." I wouldn't say that, Domenic is just very determined to make up for the lost time. And I can't say no. Why would I say no?""She's got a point, especially after what I heard last night." Alex says as she peeks ahead into our room. "You know, I've read and heard a lot of women calling out for God while doing the deed but
Months before… Alex's POVThere is only one thing I like about my uncle's house more than the one I grew up at and that is the sound of the Hamptons ocean waves and the smell of the salty water in the air. That's why I like getting up early and sitting on the balcony before the everyday buzz of the people disturbs the rhythmic sound of the waves hitting the sandy beach. Well maybe that wasn't the only thing I liked, the fact that Adam lived near and worked closely with Uncle Richard was a good bonus. It meant that I got to see him more.Adam, Sasha, and I grew up together, but as we got older I passed on to be his best friend's sister and he became my brother's best friend. Not that they excluded me or anything, it's just that when you get older life happens but now that I live here I see him practically every day."Here is your coffee, my dear." Mrs.Hendrics says as she opens the balcony door and hands me the cup."Thank you." Mrs.Hendrics has worked for the family for as long as I c
Everyone in the dining room pauses and drops their forks as we stare at my uncle in disbelief. A daughter? Did I hear that right? Did we hear that right? Apparently so because we all have the same surprised look on our faces. "Richard, what are you saying?" Mom asks as she recovers from the shock. "I'm saying I have a twenty-nine-year-old daughter named Autumn living somewhere in New York. And I need to find her." That is more than half of his life, how come he is only finding this out now? "It's Caroline's daughter, isn't it? There couldn't be anyone else." Mom says and Uncle Richard nods his head. "Who is Caroline?" The words roll off my tongue before I can stop myself. But I never knew this family to keep secrets from one another and curiosity is more than natural."Alex, that is a private matter that doesn't concern you," Mom says but Uncle Richard lifts his hand in the air for her to settle down. "It's alright Eloise, our parents are no longer with us. No one can stop us fr
