Domenic and Alice aside, what could this mystery man Adam Taylor want from Autumn? Stay tuned to find out.
Seeing how Domenic left things with Summer, she thought he wouldn't show up, even less that he would bring Alice whom he knew Summer wasn't exactly fond of. I however did hope I would see him, somehow I wanted to look at him in the eyes and try to find that loving caring man who swore that would watch over me as a drop of water on his palm. But one look into his now cold eyes was enough for me to understand that man is nowhere to be found."Do you mind? We are having a private conversation." Adam said as he protectively stood in front of me sensing Domenic's negative attitude towards me. "I told you she wouldn't waste time, seems like she found her new victim." Alice said as she clung to Domenic's arms, he might as well had a devil sitting on his shoulder.Domenic stepped aside so he could look at me without having to look over Adam's shoulder and throw me a nasty look."And you said you didn't know who he was, one more of your lies. What more are you hiding?" His cold voice was actua
"Stop it, you're hurting me Domenic." I said but he pressed his body onto mine, and I couldn't free myself."I thought you didn't want to see me anymore but yet you keep seeking me out." I say in a soft voice trying to maintain eye contact hoping to find a glimpse of the man I thought was still in there."I don't want to see you but you insist on staying in Summers life, but I swear if you do anything to hurt her..." Oh, he has some nerve to say this to me, but I don't need to stay here and listen to him."Summer is my friend, unlike you she believes in me and nothing you do will change the connection she and I have." I push at his chest making him stumble back. "Summer is naive, she wants to believe there's goodness in everybody, and that is what people like you take advantage of." He said as he grabbed my hand again."Stop treating Summer as if she was stupid, the only naive person here is you who fell for Alice's trap so easily." Domenic again pulled me through him, his touch burne
"What do you mean you're leaving town Autumn, where are you going? And for how long?" Summer bombarded me with questions as I packed my suitcase. "I told you already, I'm going to see my father and I don't know for how long it depends on how it goes. But I'll keep in touch with you every day and I'll come back for the wedding next month." I just hope the baby bump doesn't show too much so that I'll be able to hide it under the dress. "I just can't believe your father is Richard Cromwell Lennon, I can't wait to see my father's face when he realizes he rejected the daughter of a man whom he tried so hard to get as a partner." I still couldn't believe I had a father, like obviously I had one, someone had to make me but for that man to be Richard Cromwell of all people. "I don't know what it is, but all the people around me seem to be secretly rich, do I know how to pick you or what?" I laughed as I closed my suitcase and put it on the ground. "Just please don't tell anyone else where
Domenic's POV "What do you mean you lost her?" I yell on the phone at my incompetent employee. He only had one job and that was to not let her out of his sight."I apologize Mr.Davis but her bodyguard somehow notices us and he blocks our way while the other car disappeared." It seems that Miguel truly was the best bodyguard I could have chosen to protect her. But now he is protecting her from me and what's worse is now I have no idea where she went. I can't track her phone, I can't see the cameras at her house this was the last thing I had in order to know what she was up to and now I have nothing."I don't need your apologies, I need results." I say as I hang up the phone as my office door bursts open. Summer came in and pushed the door close behind her as she angrily walked toward me. "What do you think you're doing Domenic?" What? Autumn so quickly called to complain about me? She sure wastes no time to draw a wedge between my sister and me just like Alice said."Is that any way t
Autumn"s POV "How much longer?" I ask Adam as I nervously rub my hands against my legs. "Actually we have just arrived." He said as a large gate in front of us opened and Adam waved to the security man to let us in. I thought Domenic's mansion was big but this, this was next level. "This is a castle." I say as I admire the architecture of this place and the beautiful gardens that surround it. "It belonged to your family for generations and they take pride in conserving it as it is." Adam said as I stared out the window amazed. "How many people live here?" I say as I try to count all of the windows I can see. "Well, your father, alongside your aunt Eloise, your cousins Alex and Sasha. They moved back here a couple of years ago when they lost your uncle." Adam explained to me. "What about my father wife, and kids?" I ask as Adam parks the car, turns off the engine, and then looks at me. "Your father never married, and he doesn't have any kids. Except for you. Honestly, we never u
I stared at the screen not sure what to do. Why was he calling me? He already said so many hurtful words I can't imagine what more could he possibly want from me. But I do know I'm not obligated to listen to him anymore. I gave him one more chance to believe me and he didn't take it, so I'm not taking his call either. Besides I have more important things to think about now. Like my father, and my family and you my sweet baby."How will they react when I tell them I'm pregnant?" I ask myself as I walk towards the big mirror next to the window.I look at myself then I turn to look outside the window at the beautiful gardens. This house was like it was made in a fairytale, it feels surreal to be standing here. The place in which I could have grown up if only fate had been more kind in the past. I'm not sure what am I even supposed to do now. Sleep until dinner? Alldo just looking at the amount of pillows placed on the bed makes me wanna take a nap. And then again, my phone started to rin
Domenic's POV "Summer, it's been a month now and I haven't been able to find Autumn. Please, I'm desperate... Just tell me where she is." I begged her as I stood in her kitchen as Anthony and Summer were cooking dinner. At least this time she let me in the house, so that's something. "Domenic I already told you a hundred times that I'm not going to tell you where she is. All I can tell you is that she is fine." Summer says as she takes the cutting board with the carets and puts them into a pot. "Summer I already tried everything to find her and failed. She blocked my number so I can't even call her, I paid to monitor her bank records, but she hasn't used it. Where could she be that she doesn't need to use her credit card Summer?" I asked her but she only exchanged looks with Anthony then went back to cutting peppers. How can I make her see that she is my last option, I literally have nothing left. I feel so empty inside and my sole purpose is to find Autumn no matter the cost. "An
Autumn's POV "Why don't you try these ones? I think they would go great with your red dress." Alex said as she handed me a pair of stunning emerald earrings. "No, the gold ones suit her better." Said Aunt Eloise as she put the dangling gold earring to my ear as I looked myself in the mirror. "You see, these go better with her hair up." Aunt Eloise said as Alex put the box down in front of me. "Well, what do you think Autumn?" Alex asked me. I can't deny that her choice is by far the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen in my life, but I don't see myself wearing something so valuable. Not just yet. "I do love it Alex, but for now I'm gonna go with the gold ones. I'm just not ready to wear something so exquisite." I try to deliver it so that I wouldn't hurt her feelings, in many things she reminds me of Summer. Except for the ginger hair and the freckles. "Fine, but someone should seriously use them soon, they have been in the vault for ages now." Well, they would look gorgeous on h
