Stay tuned...
Alex's POVI couldn't sleep all night. I just stared at my hand, the same one Adam was holding. It looked like he didn't realize how long he was holding it, but I was. I was aware of every second, and I prayed for the moment to last forever. I wanted to believe the things Enzo had said to me. That deep down Adam cared for me, more than he realized. But yet again, even after I asked him again... as I tried to play at his so-called jealousy of Enzo he still denied it. He was preoccupied with Autumn. Sure she wasn't in a good spot, her ex showing up out of the blue must have rocked her. But it seemed it also rocked Adam. I feel like I need a break from everything again. When he was gone, searching for her I thought for a moment I was feeling better. The distance made everything easier and for a second there I thought there was an actual possibility of letting this dream go. But I was wrong. His return was all it took for me to get under his spell again. It's so hard to leave him beh
"What do you mean Autumn had an accident? When? Where?" I ask my mother as I try to wrap my head around the news. "I dont know the exact details. Autumn went to New York with Adam today, she said she needed to take care of something and that they would come back but Adam called Richard half an hour ago saying that Autumn was in a hospital. He already left for New York." I can't believe that just when Uncle Richard found her something like this happened. He must be devastated. "Alex, come home." She says. "Yes, of course. I'll be there as soon as I can." I say as I hang up the phone and start searching for my keys. "What happened?" Enzo asked, for a split second I forgot he was even here."My cousin had some sort of an accident and I need to go back home." So much for keeping my distance from that place. But I need to know how is Autumn, and her baby. I do not want anything bad to happen to her, she is too good of a person. It would not only hurt Adam, but the rest of the family as
It's been two days and so far there hasn't been any news about Autumn. At least that means that nothing bad happened, which in itself is good news. Adam called. I tried to be supportive. I know, I keep contradicting myself. I keep going back, but the fact that he keeps on calling me makes me believe he needs me. And I can't ignore it. He feels guilty, about what happened. But from what I heard Autumn took Miguel with her and a lot of men from our security team. They all failed, and I sense that there will be a cut in the staff very soon. And while that is happening in New York, I'm here getting ready to attend my exhibition. I have the most stupid reason for not knowing what dress to wear. I dont want to wear red because it seems festive and that is just not the mood the family is in. And I dont want to wear black because I dont want any bad vibes sent our way. "The purple one," Mom says as she stands by the door. "You think?" I ask as I pick it up from the bed and lean it over
"You took a portrait of Adam?" Well, is he crazy? "Are you crazy? You need to take it down now." I say as I see some woman stop before his painting and start admiring it. At least I hope it's admiration for my work, not Adams's hotness. "It's too late for that now Alex, people love it. As they love everything else you made." "Enzo what if Adam sees it? How will I explain to him that I made a portrait of him? He will think I'm crazy." To be fair I made not one, but probably a hundred portraits of his over the years. "Maybe that will give you the opportunity to talk to him with the truth about your feelings. Or when he sees all the love you put into that painting he will finally open his eyes about how he feels about you." If seeing my face for years, seeing how my eyes look at him didn't tell him that already a painting won't make a difference. "Enzo I already told you that isn't in my plans anymore. I want Adam to find what he is looking for once Autumn wakes up. I dont want to ke
Knowing that Enzo and Julia would most probably walk out of that room happier than ever made me feel very joyful. I need something good to happen around me. Unfortunately, almost everything lately has been making me feel down. So now would be a perfect time for a pick me up. I walked the exhibition alone for a while, watching people as they admired not only my painting but paintings of other artists that were collabing in this show. I also saw that my brother managed to close a deal right here, I can't believe he brings work into everything. But what was more interesting was the way he was looking at his assistant. So help me God I think he likes her, and I hope that I am not mistaken when I say that I think she likes him as well. They make sure to keep a distance, at first glance someone who doesn't know Sasha would say that this is nothing, but I know my brother and even tho he most probably doesn't want to admit it to himself there will be a story there. That is if he doesn't dri
Adam's POVIt's been two days since Autumn fell into a coma. Two days that I spent sitting in my father's office because I couldn't be in the same waiting room with Domenic. Richard allowed him to stay close, to even enter her room. After all, he is the father of the baby, and I'm just a friend. Summer came to be by his side, and take his side. Not that I can blame her, after all, Domenic is her brother and Autumn did say that she would tell him the truth once everything clears up. I know that. I was just so angry with him at that moment that I didn't think. Maybe Autumn's love for him was bigger than she made herself believe. I knew I shouldn't have left her alone, Alice was the one who pushed her but I was guilty for not being there to protect her. For some reason, the universe made sure none of us were able to help her when she needed us.As I stare at my watch I realize Autumn isn't the only one I let down. It is Alex's big night and I am missing it. I promised I would be there bu
"Adam, stay here. There are already enough people there, dont add to the commotion. I'll inform you after I see her." Dad says before he runs out. Thank God, Autumn woke up. And there is one person I'd like to share it with more than anyone else. Besides she told me to call her if something like this happens. "Hello, again," Alex says as I hear a loud crowd around her. "Alex, Autumn woke up," I say and I can hear her shushing people around her. "Sorry, things got a little bit out of hand. Can you repeat what you said?" I hear her say as the noise around her dies down, she probably stepped away. "I said Autumn woke up," I repeat and I can hear her excitement. "Oh my God Adam, that is amazing news. So she is ok now?" "Dad went to see her now. I will know more later but I wanted to share the news with you right away." As I say that I realize that there have been a lot of things happening in my life and she is always the first person I want to talk to. "This night just got a lot bet
After that little interesting conversation with Mom, I couldn't relax. I just kept thinking about everything and how crazy it sounds. Alex is Sasha's sister, my best friend's sister. She was my best friend. It would be crazy to think that there was more to it with so many years of friendship at stake. But then why do I keep thinking about it? Why do I keep thinking about Alex? Seeing how I can't find peace in my thoughts I decided to get dressed and head back to the hospital. Maybe shaking on Autumn distracts me from the mess inside my head.I thought no one would be there since Dad told me he sent everyone home but when I got there I saw Uncle Richard in the waiting room talking to the nurse. It's hard for me to stand in front of him but by the time he looks at me it's too late to hide so I master up the courage to walk up to him again. "Adam you dont need to hide from me. I may have been a bit harsh before but I want you to know I dont blame you. This got out of our hands, and even
