(Dimitri's POV)

As we arrived at the church, even though it was dark, we can see clearly dozens of meant the foot of the stairs with their weapons. It's obvious they were expecting us to come.

My eyes glance at the church. The corner of my lips raises. This is where my mother and stepfather got married. I guess, he hates that moment had come into his life. He was eager to kill me here though.

My eyes stop at the front door.

I was so damn worried about Emily.

Then a clap of hands from nowhere caught my attention. It's the jerk.

Delimer stood at the top of the stairs. Is he a coward? Hiding behind his men like a dog is so lame.

It's taking every ounce of my strength not to shoot Delimer between the eyes because I want to see him bleed while I beat him to death.

Turning my back to Delimer, I walk to Lucio and hand my weapons to him. "Let's do this." Delimer takes off his tuxedo jacket and tosses it to the side. While I slowly walk closer, he unbuttons his cuffs and rolls up the sleev

    (Emily's POV)I came out of a completely long sleep into a world that was whiter than anything I had ever seen like the sun rising over the mountains. Sunlight reflected off the carpet due to the little space between the currents. Nearby, nearly behind my ear, I could clearly hear voices conversing softly. The blanket felt warm against my skin as the last time I remember, I was on a cold and dusty floor.My vision was still foggy as the two hazy figures moved in the corner of the room. I take a thorough look at my surroundings. As my vision gradually improved, the white walls and ceilings makes me realize that I'm at the hospital. I looked at the side of the corner, still only partially awake, and saw Steve and a man wearing a white robe talking intently.I noticed how strange it was to wake up in this way. My hazy consciousness eventually vanished, and I once more felt extremely drowsy.All of them turned to look at me when I let out a faint moan. I heard footsteps rushing to my sid

    (Emily's POV)*Beep. Beep. Beep*The steady beeps that drew me from a hazy sleep alerted me to the fact I didn't die. Or Satan just had a sick sense of humor.My body was in a tranquil, painless state, but I hesitated to open my eyes as my imagination went wild. Maybe the surgeons had to amputate a limb. Maybe I was paralyzed. Maybe I was waking from a thirty-year coma. Unfortunately, what I heard was worse than what my imagination could have happened to me. And it had.My gaze slid to Steve and Lea, who sat beside my bed wearing tired eyes. Silently, he watched me. I somehow knew he'd stayed by my side for as long as I was unconscious. This man I once hated had become the man I loved. I couldn't bear the thought of living without him.Then it hit me.I tugged at the IV in my hand as the heartache tore through me, sending sobs up my throat that wracked my chest.Just as I pulled out the IV, the chaotic energy inside faded, leaving me so drained I could only cover my mouth as tears pou

    (Emily's POV)After my treatment and being discharged from the hospital, my brother insisted to take a leave from his job and take care of me. But I refused to be taken care of.

After a week of staying at home in Einfield Avenue located in Encino, LA, doing nothing but cleaning the whole house just to occupy my head. Making myself tired as much as possible. It's not easy as I thought to not think of him. The moment I learned that Dimitri was dead was and will be, the worst of my life. I am certain that nothing will ever compare to this pain.Somehow I realized when I got myself to bed that this was the first night I would not awaken at midnight wondering where Dimitri was. Exhausted and mentally sick, sometimes I fell asleep for 10 hours and did not even turn over.Every morning brought shock and numbness.

    (Emily's POV)A knock on the door startled me and woke up from my deep sleep. The door slowly opened. I yawn while getting up and glance at the person who entered my room."Emily, it's time for breakfast." Lea softly said.I lay back on my bed and buried my face in my soft pillow, "I'll eat later."After a second, she smacks my ass with her palm causing me to wince in pain, "Lea!" "Don't let Steve come and get you," she warned.Oh God, she really never changes."I... I'm just tired..." I whined but she slap me for the second time. "Stop doing that 'diet' word, Emily. It does not make you pretty. You should eat more to make yourself beautiful."I sigh, "I am not trying to be pretty or beautiful or whatever adjective that is.""You need to! How can you get a boyfrie--" she stops.Boyfriend?She already knows I'm not in the mood to mingle with a guy. She's just doing that in order for me to forget Dimitri. She wanted me to because she doesn't like Dimitri for me.I heard her sigh. "I'

They're having a lover's quarrel which infuriated me more. I'm having trouble to swallowed my dinner because I was full from the Starbucks free meal given by a handsome priest.I'm still wondering if he really is a priest or was just devoted.Wait... Why did I conclude that he is a priest? On what grounds?Why am I bothered anyway? And I should not give a damn about that stranger's life.I was startled when Lea dropped her spoon with a loud clangor on her plates and grabbed a glass of water from the water pitcher. Right then, Steve stood up with a loud creek from the chair and was open the fridge to grab a bottle of water before he slammed closed the fridge door with

    (Emily's POV)-5 months later-I exit the nurse quarter after taking my belongings with me. My shift just ended an hour earlier and I am waiting for Lea to finish her shift. While waiting I fell asleep and just woke up to see the time passing by quickly. It's already dark outside. But Lea is still not around. Is she in mandatory overtime? She did not notify me though.I dialed her number but totally forgot that she must not have her phone right now. Sighing, I leaned on the bench while waiting in the lounge, watching Tom and Jerry on the tv.Every day is tiring for me. Everything seems new. But it's better to be this way. I seldom think about him nowadays. But the new thing is I cannot hang around with friends without Lea.Well, she's my best friend, of course, we stick to each other all the time, but there is a chance that Steve won't let her have fun outside, so I was also dragged out of the world of fun too.It's not I hate being trapped in the hands of my brother, it's just like,

    (Emily's POV)I yawned as I wait for Lea and the others to finish their lunch. Some of them are in different departments but why are they devouring their food with proper etiquette? Having a conversation with my co-nurse in the mae department makes my boredom go away. Apparently, this is one of the days that stress was not blasting our heads. We should be grateful though. Maybe that's the reason why these fellas are enjoying their break.But not me.This day appears to be different to me. I've been anxious since this morning and it bothers me, maybe for a whole day. This feeling only shows up if a flood of patients from an accident came through our emergency sliding door. And it frustrates me that I cannot even eat properly. I was hoping no children involve all the time.Lea will be busy again, for sure.They've been talking about the new surgeon. And I know who that is. They all seem interested in him but why?

Steve is somewhere out of the Encino but he's on his way now.""I can wait at the station."She grabbed my arm with a confused look on her face. "Just wait here, Emily. You know that you are forbidden to wander alone."I held her hand, "I'm fine, Lea.

    (Emily's POV)Eight hours later. I glanced out the window of the private jet. I'm finally seeing again the tall Eiffel Tower. I glance at Dimitri and had been his attitude the entire flight: indifferent. He and those stupid 'Delicious!' sounds coming from his phone were driving me crazy. Lucio wasn't any better company. He was flipping through a Cosmo in the row of seats at the front of the plane. And Mali was sleeping in the corner while snoring.After we got married two days ago, even though I'm pregnant, I'd been burning up, waiting for him to touch me, kiss me, and drag me to the convenient bed in the back. But he hadn't done any of that. When I got tired of waiting. I'd straddled his lap, ran my lips down his neck, and cupped his erection as it grew harder beneath my hand.I thought I was finally going to get what I wanted, but then he shoved me off him to the couch and said, "I'm saving myself for our honeymoon, wife"I glared at him.He thought it was funny.Frustrated, I got u

    (Emily's POV)The next day, something smelled like pancakes. It made my stomach churn.I loved pancakes.I rolled out of bed, brushed my teeth, and combed my hair, then padded out to the kitchen to find Dimitri at the stove, shirtless, his hair wet. I loved him like this, the casual side of him not many got to see. Like this, he was mine.But when I wrapped my arms around his waist, he tensed. Uncertainty flickered through me. He'd been quiet since last night after our wedding yesterday. I woke him up when he was having a nightmare, and an insecure part of me was obsessing over what could be his dream."Are you hungry?" he asked when I stepped away from him. I looked at the plate of pancakes on the counter and wrinkled my nose."Not right now." Grabbing the orange juice from the fridge, I poured a glass. "Is there something wrong?" I asked."Nothing.""Stop hiding anything, Dimitri. I want to know what's on your mind. I want to know more about you."I was sitting on my couch, not su

    One month later(Emily's POV)Sunlight shone through the high windows of the church's bridal suite, lighting dust particles in the air like tiny flickers of gold. Nausea swirled in my belly, and I pressed a hand to my stomach and tried to breathe through it.It's our second wedding but I'm fucking nervous.I swayed as Lea tugged at my laces. "You've got to suck in, Emily. I've barely begun tightening it up."It felt like she was squeezing the life out of me. "For goodness sake, Lea, she can't suck in her boobs," Carol commented from her seat in the corner. She had a Vanity Fair magazine in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other."It's her backside I'm having trouble with. The laces are gonna be gaping at the seams if I can't cinch them in any tighter."And they wonder how I could ever be depressed...With another jerk on my laces, I breathed, "Oh, God," and covered my mouth as nausea traveled up my throat."Quick, Carol! The waste bin!" Lea exclaimed.My best friend hopped from he

    (Emily's POV)Dimitri and I turn onto the main road right as the fire truck comes roaring up the lane, headed for the Castle's beach house, or what's left of it, anyway.I can see the firemen's faces as our car passes their truck, they're looking down at us, eyebrows raised, but unable to stop us from fleeing the scene."What a fucking trip!" I shout, my heart still galloping like a racehorse. "I did not know he was that crazy! I thought he was just normal crazy, like 'I don't want my food to touch,' or 'talking to yourself in the shower' crazy, not like full-out Shining."Dimitri is driving way too fast, hands locked on the steering wheel. Improbably, he's grinning almost as much as I am. Could my uptight husband be starting to enjoy our adventures?"I can't believe I found you," he says."Yeah, Did you find my shoe?" "Yes, I found it! And I remembered."He looks over at me, his blue eyes brilliant against his smoky skin. I don't know how I ever thought his eyes were cold. They're f

    (Dimitri's POV)I roll down the window to try to get a better look at some of the cabins that are set back from the road, half-hidden in trees.Some of the driveways are so faint I can barely see them. In fact, I almost pass one by, failing to see the faint tracks through the grass. Until I smell a hint of smoke. It's so mild that I hardly know what scent I caught. Then I feel the automatic reaction, the hair on the back of my neck standing up, and my heart starting to race. It's a primal, terrifying smell. A warning of danger.I slam on the brakes, whipping the wheel to the left. I follow the long, winding path toward a double stand of trees. Between those trees sits a small blue beach house that I've seen once before in a battered photograph.I stop my car, hoping Oliver hasn't already heard the engine or seen me driving up the road. I slip out of the driver's side and crouch down behind the car, trying to peer around at the house.I send a quick text to Emily's brother. I'm an ho

    (Emily's POV)"I need to pee," I tell him again as he forgot."You can do it with the door open," he says.I glare at him, in a stand-off between his stubbornness and my throbbing bladder.I can only last a few seconds. I drop my pants and sit down on the toilet, letting go. The pee comes thundering out, with more pain than relief.Oliver stands in the doorway, watching me. There's a tiny smile at the corner of his mouth. His eyes look hooded and pleased.I wish he would turn the fuck around and give me some privacy. Or at the very least, I wish I wasn't peeing for so long. It seems to go on forever, and it's fucking humiliating.He's right, though, if he'd left me alone in the bathroom, I would have climbed out the window in five seconds.When I'm finished at last, I pull up my pants and wash my hands, wiping them dry again on my clothes, since there aren't any towels.Oliver watches this too, with a scowling expression. I think he's looking at the cast again. Then I realize he's act

    (Emily's POV)I wouldn't have gotten in the fucking trunk if I knew how far Oliver was going to drive. I feel like I've been in here forever. Also, I drank a lot of water with lunch, and I really have to pee. Also, I'm worried about what Oliver might have done with my purse. He wasn't stupid enough to put it in here with me, unfortunately. I'm anxious that he just chucked it out of the window or something, which means that my precious little package is already missing again.For a long time, I can feel that we're on the freeway smooth, steady progress in the same direction. Eventually, we turn off and start driving slowly and erratically down roads that are obviously narrower and less well-maintained. A couple of times the car jolts hard enough that I do hit my head on the top of the trunk.I've been hunting around in the dark, looking for anything useful. If there was a tire iron back here, I'd use it to brain Oliver the second he opened the trunk.At last, the car slows down. I thi

    (Emily's POV)I'm sitting across the table from my new friend, Drake Lee. He passes me the little box I've been waiting and hoping for all week long, and I open the lid to peek inside."Oh my god, I can't believe it," I breathe. "I know," he laughs. "This was the hardest one I've ever done. Took me three whole days." "You're a miracle worker. Honestly."He grins, almost as gleeful as I am."You mind if I put the whole thing up on my YouTube channel?" he says. "I was wearing my GoPro the whole time, got some great footage.""Of course!" I say.I close the box, still hardly believing what I'm holding in my hand, and I stow it back in my purse. I give Drake a slim envelope of cash in return, the amount we agreed upon, plus a bonus for saving my fucking ass. "Well, call me if you ever need me again," he says, giving me a little salute."I hope I won't need you," I laugh. "No offense.""None was taken," he chuckles. He raises his hand to signal for the waitress."I already paid for the

I'm also thankful that it's not our honeymoon or Zajac's head would float all over Bali's ocean.I find myself tuning out of the conversation because I want to look at Emily instead.I can't believe she stayed at Zajac's warehouse, looking for me.She could have been killed, or at the very least, recaptured and held hostage until my men returned the money they stole.She could have just run the moment she escaped the office. But she didn't. Because she knew I was somewhere in the building, probably being tortured, possibly being killed.I was frightened to see her hurt again because of me and I don't want to lose her.I've come to respect Emily and love her, too. I like the effect she has on me. She makes me more reckless, but also more focused. Before I met her, I was going through the motions. Doing what I was supposed
