Alex's POV

I 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

    Two weeks laterAutumn is doing a lot better, fiscally that is. As for her memory, it's still gone. I kept Richard company for most days and the moment Domenic and his family were with Autumn. The only downside of being here was that I couldn't get in touch with Alex. I tried calling her many times but she never answered me. I even told Sasha to gently remind her to check her phone but he says that even he doesn't get to see her much anymore because she spends all of her time with Enzo. It seems only now I understand why he bothers me so much. He was after something even I didn't understand I wanted. But I won't waste any more time. Autumn goes home tomorrow, Richard already set up the helicopter to pick them up. Even Domenic. He managed to wile his way into their house. In his defense it seems like Autumn wants him there, so they give him a chance.But that means I'm going back home today. And no matter what I will see Alex. My heart beats so fast in my chest that I feel like a teena

    ...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 and A

    Alex's POVI 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. "I

    "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.

    Adam's POV Autumn's wedding day... Out of everything I could imagine myself doing on my friend's wedding day, walking into an old closed underground parking lot was not one of them but the situation called for it. After my contacts in the police did their investigations they brought to my attention that as I suspected this wasn't Derek's first rodeo at stalking a woman who bore a resemblance to his ex. It went so far that he got a red stamp on his passport preventing him from ever entering England again after stalking a prime minister's daughter. Boy sure likes to play in the big leagues. Now I didn't have the power to expel him from America but I had enough to put him behind bars. Yet first I wanted to have a little chat with him... for that, I used the side connections that I as a lawyer swore I would never usebut for Alex, there isn't a line in this world I wouldn't cross.
