Alex's POV

"I'm just saying if looks could kill, I would be a dead man," Enzo says while we walk inside the hallways of the gallery.

"And I'm saying you are wrong, there is no reason why Adam would behave that way towards you." Enzo insisted that when he was holding my door to get inside of his car he got a glimpse of Adam staring at him through the window with an angry glare.

"Well, there could be one reasonable reason."

"Oh yeah, and what would that be?" I ask as I twirl around the empty space.

"He could care about you more than you think." If only that were the case. But no, to Adam I have never been anything more than just a friend.

"Adam made it pretty clear that who he cares about in that way is Autumn, not me." And how could he not, you could take one look at her and see that she was a strong woman of substance while I was a woman filled with fears.

"You said he came to talk to you to see if you were dating me. If he didn't care why would he bother to ask?" Enzo trie

    Normal, all I have to do is act normal. How hard can that be? I already lived my whole life next to this man, this shouldn't be difficult. Right? I'll just relax, breathe, and act. Easy peasy lemon sauce. God, I haven't used that since I was in high school. I was running a bit late but Enzo assured me that was more than ok, it's not like I can help it if the traffic is horrible and I need to change into my riding clothes.By the time I got to the stables, Adam already had our horses ready to go. "Hey, sorry for the wait," I say as I walk up to him while casually putting on my gloves. "No problem, I am glad you found some free time especially after you left in such a hurry this morning. How did everything go with Enzo?" His question gave me pause because Enzo said that the time he took to mention him would determine his interest but it hasn't even been five minutes and he already mentioned him in the first sentence."Good," I say and I could see the way Adam was looking at me like h

    "I think you are very wrong, the only reason Adam wanted to talk to me was to ask me about Autumn and how to approach her." I bickered to Enzo on the phone as I drove back home in the back of my car. "And what advice did you give him?" "I dont think that I did, I basically told him to stay away and give her space. And I didn't do it for his benefit." I never claimed to be a good person, I'm just human. "Nicely done." I couldn't really tell if he was mocking me or applauding me. "And how about the other thing, he didn't ask you about me?""No, he did, in fact, that was the first thing he asked." Not that I think it had any relevance now. "See now that has to mean something. Trust me, and how did he react about us dating?" It's so hard to trust something when I have spent years convinced otherwise. "I honestly couldn't tell, he just wanted to know what it is about you that makes me trust you so much. He knows I usually dont like new people. Hell, I dont even like some old people."

    ... "Sorry it took me so long to get here, we got a bit carried away with the shopping and I desperately needed to shower," I say as I sit down at the restaurant table where Enzo is already waiting for me. "Dont worry about it. But tell me how was it hanging out with your cousin?" Enzo sometimes feels like that girl best friend who loves to gossip, I find that somehow very indearing. "Ohh Autumn is great. Despite the troubles she is going through she makes the best effort to stay above it all." I hate to say it but I can see why Adam, or any man for that fact would easily fall for her. "She is kind, she has the patience for my mother and that says a lot about her... She is smart and even owns a business back in New York. I could see her being the sister I never had.""And how does she feel about Adam?" Enzo likes going straight to the point. "It seems like the advice I gave him is actually a good one. Autumn is going through some tough times on the love field, I dont think she sees

    Three weeks later.It has been a long time since I've felt this inspired to paint... Things haven't been great in a long time and they still aren't but I have to make an effort for myself to be happy. I can't continue dreaming about Adam all the time. Now it's time to put some dreaming into my work. Bbzzz!!!The buzzer on my interphone goes off and I put down my paintbrush and run over to pick it up."Hello.""It's me, will you let me up? I come bringing relatively hot pizza but the new doorman won't let me in without a proper invito (invitation)." Enzo says as I hear him pass the phone to Sam, the doorman."It's ok, Sam. Give him a cardkey.""As you wish, Miss Alex."I went back to my workstation rinsed my brush in water and set it off on the side as I heard the elevator door open and Enzo walked in."Wow, now that is magnifico. (magnificent)""You like it?" I ask as I move aside to give him a better look."Of course. What will you call it?" Enzo asks as he takes a closer look."Hear

    ..."No, she didn't," Adam says, he does appear to be a bit... not angry, but definitely not happy."I just thought that with everything happening with Autumn you have your hand pretty full, and there is the party and... I didn't even tell my mother yet, so." God, this was so stupid."Well we invite you now, I'll make sure to put your name on the list." I just hope this wasn't Enzo's way of a payback for inviting his ex."I'll be there. I wouldn't miss it." Adam says, this time looking directly at me."Great, I'll leave you now. And I will see you later." Enzo says as he turns to me and to my surprise kisses me on the lips. It's not a long kiss but it was definitely unexpected yet I knew it was just an act. We were selling an act, the only thing I still didn't know was whether Adam was buying it."Bye, Enzo," I say as we cut the kiss and Enzo walks by Adam to the elevator door and enters it. Perhaps I should have given him a nickname but I just can't see myself saying words like babe.

    The day of the party Adam's POV"Where are we going?" I say as I follow Autumn and Alex as they walk in front of me in the maze garden. I have no idea what we are even doing here. "Hey wait up." Why are they so fast? "Pick the right turn, Adam," Alex says as she takes a turn and disappears from my sight while Autumn keeps going to the left so I keep following her. "Ok, what kind of a game is this?" I ask as I turn around thinking I would find my way out but I was already in too deep and I didn't remember my turns."Dont give up now Adam," Autumn says and continues to walk away from me, and Alex is nowhere to be seen. "Then wait up. How is it you know this place so well?" I ask as I hurry my step and with each glance back I realise I'm more and more lost. "You are the one who should know the path, Adam." Path to where? I dont know anything, I just keep on following Autumn until we come to a clearing where Alex stands with Enzo, nonetheless."What is he doing here?" I ask as he take

    I decided I would leave a bit early and get to Richard's house before the party actually starts to have a moment of peace with Autumn because later that would be rather impossible. She must be nervous, for multiple reasons. One being the pressure off all the eyes that will be on her, and two... after tonight Domenic will know exactly where to find her after she managed to stay hidden from him for over a month. I have no idea what is going on inside her head, Autumn is difficult to read. But then again maybe I'm just terrible at reading people, otherwise I would know what it is that is happening with Alex.I let the security man take my car while I let myself into the house that is buzzing with catering people hurrying to get everything in order. "Mr.Taylor, aren't you a bit early?" Mrs. Hendrics says as she appears behind a corner. "And your parents?" "They will arrive shortly. I wanted to have a moment to talk with Autumn before, I hope that is not a problem.""Not at all, the haird

    .... "You right Autumn, it is early for love," I say as I gently touch her cheek. At this point, I dont really know what love is supposed to feel like, but if I put in an effort it just might be worth it in the end. "But I am falling in love with you," Or so I thought since the first moment I saw you. "and if you let me I'd like to try and make you fall in love with me too." Maybe what we need is a little push in the right direction. Maybe we need a spark. "Adam, I'm..." Autumn wants to say something but I interrupt the by closing our distance and lovering my lips on hers. It was a gentle kiss, and once she ended up relaxing into it, perhaps she wanted to test out the possibility of us, but something was just not there. I couldn't tell if it was her or me... but that was no reason to give up just yet."Give us a chance, that's all I'm asking." Trying won't make us lose anything, yet we could gain something. That has to count. "But what about your family? What are they going to think

    Sasha lets him fall into one of our Victorian chairs while Adam and I stand in front of him like parents who are about to scoll their child. But this talk was very necessary, for the sake of our sibling bond and their friendship.I glance at Adam, silently asking him if he’s ready for this. His calm smile reassures me. He’s been patient, waiting for this moment to happen, but I know it’s not easy for him either."Sasha," I start, my voice steady but firm, "we need to have a real talk about all this because Adam isn’t some phase or fling. He’s serious, and I am too. And I need you to accept that. Not just for me, but for us...all of us.""So, let me get this straight," he says, finally breaking the silence, his voice low. "You two have been sneaking around behind my back, hiding this whole thing, and now suddenly I’m supposed to just accept it? What was all that about, huh?"Adam shifts next to me, his hand resting lightly on my back, but I can feel the muscles in his shoulders tense up

    ...That night... "...so now we are not only friends and brothers-in-law but I had the privilege of being his best man. What he and Autumn have is special, anyone can see that, and all I can say is that I wish them both happiness. Also Autumn I'd like to ask your permission to take him out this Friday to play ball." Anthony jokes as he finishes his best man speech. I once heard of a so-called bromance Domenic and Anthony had pretty much ever since they met each other. Summer said she found it endearing. "As long as Summer gave you permission to go." Autumn hits Anthony with a comeback. "But Friday is a no-go, we have a Lamaze class," Autumn says as she touches Domenic's shoulder. "But you are free to join us," She added to which I started connecting the dots. Why Summer looked somewhat green on her face, why she didn't eat and why would she go to a Lamaze class... "That's a great idea." Summer says and Anthony looks at her strangely. "Why would we go to a Lamaze class?" He asks an

    Alex's POV I 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.

    "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.

    "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.
