Alice's lies are exposed, so what will she do next ? Stay tuned.
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
What was he doing here? I don't think Summer told him anything, maybe my aunt sent him an invitation after I told her to send Summer one. Why didn't I ever take a look at the guest list? "Autumn, are you feeling alright?" Adam asked me as he turned me away from the cameras. "I'm fine." I say as I turn to Miguel and motion with my hand to come over. "I've seen him, do you want me to do something about it?" Miguel asked me as we stepped aside. "Just keep him away from me, and do it discreetly. I dont want to ruin this night for my father." Miguel nodded his head then turned to speak into his earpeace as he walked away. "Let's go further in, your father wants you to meet a few friends of his." Adam said as he offered me his hand and I nervously took it. The last thing I need is for Domenic to make a scandal, not while all these people are looking at me. Adam walked the room with me as I kept glancing at Domenic who had seemed to want to catch up with me but Miguel was able to stop hi
Since I left the office with Adam I haven't seen Domenic anywhere, he must have left and I have to say I'm glad he did. Seeing him again only brought me painful memories and now that I put it on a scale it seems we lived more bad things together than good. It's so easy for him to hurt someone and then come and say a simple I'm sorry thinking it would fix everything, and just because he now decided that infact he does want me in his life I should drop everything and jump into his arms. He's selfish, he never once stopped to think about how he made me feel, the suffering he caused me. And he still had the nerve to question me if I was letting another man into my life. "Autumn, I haven't seen you eat anything all night. You know you have to take care of yourself." Adam's voice drew me out of my deep thoughts. "I lost my appetite, but don't worry I'm ok. I'm just waiting for the party to finish to go to sleep." I didn't know whether I was more exhausted fiscally or emotionally and all I
"You're up early, I thought you'd still be asleep." Dad said as he gave me a kiss on the top of my head before sitting down next to me. "I slept enough, besides I wanted to talk with you about something." I say as I put down my cup of tea and turn to him. "Are you gonna tell me about what happened yesterday, don't think I didn't notice what happened with Mr.Davis." He says as he pours milk into his coffee. "The story between Domenic and me is complicated, to say the least, but that's not what I wanted to talk about." I have a more important issue to take care of. "You can tell me anything. I'm here for you. Always." I thought about everything except on how to start this conversation. "Dad, you know how you said that being a part of this family comes with some benefits? Well, I'm going to have to use some of them." I say and he looks at me a bit strangely. "Would you care to elaborate?" Uhh, where would I even start? "First I dont want you to think I am using our family name for
"How are you feeling Autumn?" Adam asked me as we were driving back to my house. "Really good, Adam. All of this will be over soon and I will finally be able to relax and move on with my life." Alice will become a thing of the past and I will be able to bring some closer to Leo's family, even if they hate me for keeping this a secret for so long. "I'm glad, and I want to be there every step of the way. Of course, if you let me." He says as he takes my hand into his and looks at me tenderly. How easy my life would be if I could manage to fall in love with him. but right now I don't see that happening. I think I'm better off alone for now, well not entirely. I will always have my baby with me. That is the only love that I'm thinking about right now. "Of course I want you in my life, don't think about going anywhere. Your friendship means a lot to me." He might have smiled at that but the look in his eyes gave away that there was more he wanted but he respected my space. "And what ab
