DanaMy mother watched me without understanding why I pushed her away."You're treating me like I'm crazy. I'm not crazy, Mom. What's wrong with you?" I protested."Officer, I think it's best for Dana to rest. The psychiatrist will come soon to evaluate Dana's mental health and ask her some questions. I think it's best for Dana to rest and relax," my mother commented.I also wanted the police officer to leave my room, but my mother kept treating me as if I had a mental imbalance. Rachel continued to get her way. She told me she would turn my life into a personal hell."Yes, but I'll have to return soon. We need Dana's statement for the investigation.""I don't think we need to argue, officer. The evidence against Thomas is clear. He kidnapped our daughter and kept her captive.""It's not kidnapping because I chose to go with him! Doesn't the law see that?" I judged. "You seem to be the crazy ones because you don't understand what I'm telling you. Thomas hasn't kidnapped me! He just tr
DemianThe rage was so intense that I couldn't contain myself. If he weren't behind bars, I know I'd be hitting him.Two guards tried to stop me, but I ran towards the cell where Thomas was being held. I knew they weren't allowing him visitors, but I wanted to talk to Thomas about what he did. I wanted to confront him. He stabbed me in the back. He became obsessed with Jeremy and Dana and devised a plan to attack Rachel. I couldn't just stand by. I needed to vent my anger.Rachel tried to stop me and ran after me. My beta followed me and asked me to control myself, but I ignored them. I smelled the unmistakable scent of Thomas's perfume and felt so disgusted. I reached his cell and grabbed the bars.He looked at me with a smile. I hated the way he smiled at me."What the hell is wrong with you? You're sick, Thomas. I never thought you'd be capable of something like this.""I already told you I didn't kidnap her. I helped her. But talking to you is like talking to a two-year-old. You u
DanaI looked at Clarissa in terror. I could defend myself, but the doctors were clear in telling me that I couldn't make any sudden movements because of my babies. I was stunned by her action. When she entered the room, I had a small hope that she would help me, but she ended up being part of Rachel's club. I had several enemies I had made without lifting a finger."What are you doing? Get away! Don't come near me. I don't want you back in my room. You're fired," I warned her. But I had no power to fire her. Demian hired her. Not me."Or what? Are you going to accuse me, Dana? Are you going to tell Demian that Rachel sent me to make everyone believe you're crazy? Look at yourself for a second, Dana! No one believes you! You're acting like a madwoman. Who's going to believe you?""I don't care if no one believes me, but I promise you, you'll regret threatening me."Clarissa laughed. My comment amused her."What are you laughing at? I'm serious, Clarissa. I'm not afraid of you. To me,
DanaI was alone for a few minutes before that guy came back to my room. I called him that because he was a stranger. It was so hard to understand that he had become what he is now. And my heart was still so stupid.Demian came back to the room with me. I looked at him but stayed silent because I didn't feel like talking to him. His gaze judged me. I knew he was angry with me for what I did, but Demian had no idea why things happened the way they did. People around me thought I was the villain. I was disappointed in Demian because he promised to protect me, but he hasn't lifted a finger to keep his word. I don't know why I believed him. Most of the time, I distrusted him, but I had moments of weakness when I believed him.However, I know that Demian was a victim of Rachel. She managed to make me look crazy. Rachel acted friendly with me while Demian was around to manipulate him. I always thought Demian was an intelligent person, but I was surprised by how his future wife handled him.
DanaI lost.Demian and Rachel won and got what they wanted. Rachel was going to get away with it. Demian too. I promised myself that I would defend myself if Rachel tried to hurt me. Maybe, if mother didn't want to take care of me, I could ask my mother to visit me often and stay for hours every day so that I wouldn't be left alone in the hospital and Rachel couldn't come in.The doctor entered my room."Dana, how are you feeling?" he asked."I'm worried about the babies.""They are fine. But you need to rest. I'm sorry for what they did to you, Dana. I’m your doctor, and I shouldn't have allowed you to be kidnapped."Again with the same stupid story. I had no energy to deny what had happened. No one believed me, so I wasn’t going to waste my breath trying to make people believe me."Is it true that I'll be discharged soon if everything is okay?""Yes, in a few days. Your heart is fine, despite everything, so we think it might be less stressful for you to be somewhere else. But Dana,
DemianI knew Rachel wanted me to tell Dana that I didn't love her so she could feel more at ease. I knew I owed Rachel the respect of doing so. I had hurt her and had to make amends for my mistakes. But I wasn't sure if I could tell Dana that I didn't love her. Again. I already did it once, and it almost tore my heart apart. I didn't want to hurt Dana with my words. Dana didn't need to be rejected when she felt most alone. She needed my support and affection. It would be a low blow to tell her the same thing again.I remained silent because I didn't know what to say to Rachel. I could explain my reasons, but Rachel wouldn't understand them. I was surprised that Rachel didn't kick Dana out of the house. Despite everything that had happened, she thought about Dana and the babies. But Rachel drew a fine line. I knew that if I didn't fulfill Rachel's request, she would leave me."I'm waiting for an answer. And let me tell you, Demian, it hurts not to have a yes from you. If you didn't lo
DemianI took my phone out of my pocket and looked at the screen.When I received the call from Dana's doctor, my heart raced. I feared that something bad had happened to her. I feared that she had escaped from the hospital.Rachel was by my side. I think she thought the same as I did. But Dana called to ask if I would let her see Jeremy. I said no.And Dana messed up."I don't care if you don't believe me, Demian. But I told you I haven't been kidnapped. I'm going to see Jeremy whether you like it or not. You say you want to do everything to make me feel good, but you won't let me see my boyfriend. I'm suffering because of Jeremy, did you know that? You want to take me to your house. Do you plan to stop me from seeing Jeremy? Don't be selfish, Demian," she challenged me.I was getting tired of Dana's attitude."I'm not selfish, Dana. I…""Don't pretend you're doing it for me. You're doing it for yourself, Demian. You don't want me to see Jeremy because it hurts you that I'm falling i
DemianDana laughed out loud. I had never heard her laugh so much, not even when she was happy. This wasn't a moment to laugh, but Dana was laughing hysterically. She was definitely not well."What are you laughing about?" I asked."It's just so funny, Demian. I can't believe it! This isn't the first time you've told me that Rachel cares about me. I honestly don't understand where the intelligent Demian I fell in love with has gone. You're really messed up in the head, Demian.""Enough. I came to see how you're doing, not to fight. First you hug me, then you insult me. Who can understand you? Do you realize you're not well?""You're treating me like a crazy person again," she said. She rubbed her face to wipe away her tears.Seeing Dana like this was strange. Dana was crying and laughing at the same time. Her disheveled appearance, dark circles under her eyes, and messy hair caught my attention. Her cheeks were very red."You need to rest," I said in an authoritative tone."You don't
DanaThe wedding night has finally arrived. The long wait would end in less than an hour.I looked at my long, white, expensive, tailor-made dress. It was strange to get married for the second time, but we both decided to leave the past behind and focus on a new future. I'm not going to lie and say it's easy, because it isn't. But we've tried. We've done it together.Our relationship has strengthened after everything we've been through. Demian has become a better partner. Even better than in our past marriage. He has made it his mission to make me fall in love with him day by day and to show me his love.Our three children were happy to have a united family. I could see it in their faces. Soon, a fourth child would join our lives. Demian and I planned it. My health was stable, so we decided to try.“Miss, are you ready?” my chauffeur asked.The limousine was ready to take me to the church. After our wedding, we will go together as a family to the Caribbean. When we return, we will mov
DanaThe first month without him was hard. Without my mother's support, I would never have been able to move forward.The second month was terrifying. I cried so much. I don't know how I didn't become dehydrated.In the third month, my children were already so strong, and the doctors discharged us from the hospital, and we went home, where a four-year-old brother was waiting for us. I took care of Demian's little son because he was left alone. Rachel abandoned him, and he needed a mother. That little boy was not to blame for having a mother like Rachel, so I took care of him as if he were my own son. I know Demian would have loved that.The fourth month was just as painful as the third. I couldn't accept that he wasn't near me. I missed him so much. There wasn't a day when I didn't cry over his departure. I wondered if he was okay. Was he alive? Did he miss us? What did Rachel do to him?In the fifth month, I visited Jeremy's grave almost every day, asking him to help bring Demian hom
DanaI suddenly opened my eyes and sat up in bed, gasping. I coughed non-stop, and my mother was worried about me. I touched my abdomen and noticed that my belly was no longer the same as before. I frowned and looked at my mom."What happened? Where are my children?""The babies are alive in the maternity and baby room. They are in an incubator, daughter" my mom explained, stroking my hair.My babies... my children had been born, and I had been asleep the whole time. I wanted to touch and kiss them. I needed to see and meet them. Their faces, their little hands, and feet. My eyes filled with tears. Finally, I was a mother. Finally, I could meet them.I begged to be allowed to see them. Mom said she would call the doctor to have me taken to see my children. I had never felt such great excitement. I felt energetic like I hadn't felt in a long time."Don't strain yourself. You just came out of a complicated surgery. You have to stay calm. We'll wait for the doctor. Okay?"A surgery? Why
DemianI looked for the address where a black car with tinted windows would pick me up. Rachel's henchmen were coming for me to take me to her. That was the deal. I understood we were going to leave the city and the country so no one could find us. It was madness to leave the country and have no further contact with my family, Dana, or any information about my children. But that was the deal I made with Rachel so she would tell me how to save Dana. I trusted the maid would be of great help to Dana, my son, and my other two children. I wanted to believe everything would be fine while I was gone, but I wasn't sure of it.Nerves were eating me slowly and anxiety was my worst enemy. The star-filled sky didn't match the horrible feeling in my heart today.They picked me up and put a bag over my head. Another rule was not to resist the kidnapping they were going to perform. So I stayed still. I felt a prick on my neck and it took hold of my skin. I grimaced. That wasn't part of the deal, bu
DemianI had to make a quick decision to save Dana. I had to leave or stay with Dana while she died slowly. There was no certainty in Rachel's words, but I had to do something for Dana, and I believe the maid was right all along. If being with Rachel was the key to Dana's survival, I was going to do it. I had to take that risk. I had seen her die before my eyes. I couldn't let that happen again and have it be permanent. Dana and my children needed me. What kind of man was I if I couldn't protect my family from this hell? What kind of man was I if I couldn't keep them alive?I had to accept going with Rachel, but first, I had to make sure the surgery was successful. Hours passed without any answers. A doctor approached Dana's mother, and I went to listen to what happened."What happened? I'm Dana's husband. How is she? My children?""We delivered the babies, and they are alive, but they need to be monitored in incubators for a while, as their organs are still developing. Ideally, the b
DemianDana's heart stopped suddenly while we were talking. Her eyes were fixed on mine, but she was no longer moving. I was terrified. I felt a fear like I had never felt in my life. Anguish took over my body, dragging me down the path of pain. My chest tightened as I realized she was gone. Dana was gone. Someone had to do something. They had to bring my beloved back to me. I couldn't live without her because living without Dana was like being dead in my own life.I took her face in my hands as I heard the long beep of the machine connected to Dana. I searched for something to help her, but I didn't know how. No one prepares anyone for this. Not even I, a powerful Alpha, could escape such immense pain."Dana, no... No!" I shouted. "Don't go! You can't go! I won't allow it. Not like this. Please," I begged. I had never begged anyone for anything in my life, but for Dana, I was willing to do anything.I would give my life for hers. I was willing to take her place and her pain so that s
DemianDana went crazy when she found out that Thomas had died, but I can't blame her. I feel the same way, but I try to find a balance between my emotions because one of us has to be strong for the other. I promised Dana that I would always be there for her, and this was a way to fulfill my words. News like this could make Dana lose the babies. I knew something was wrong when we entered the house and everyone looked at us strangely. Dana noticed and figured it out."How is this possible? Rachel has henchmen. She has people she pays. Her parents disappeared, so they must be helping her do everything she does. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. How is it possible that Rachel has so many people on her side? Again, it must be her father paying thugs to do the dirty work. Someone had to take the body to that wasteland, and I know she wouldn't do it alone.""We've made calls to the police, and they're still investigating. It's a matter of finding her, Demian.""This nightmare won't end unti
DanaWe took a walk around the house to have a moment of privacy. The house was huge, and we walked slowly because of my pregnancy. My belly was heavy, but the dress was comfortable for walking as it was not tight. Since my belly had grown so much, I had to get large and new clothes because what I used to wear no longer fit me. The doctors forbade me from wearing tight clothes. When Demian and I returned home, Thomas was there, looking worried. He seemed completely upset. Demian also noticed and asked him what was wrong. Demian looked at me. I know he didn't want me to find out certain things so that I wouldn't worry and get hurt. Demian became overly protective of me when he found out my children were his.Demian and I returned to the mansion, and the pack was still there, but not all of them. I didn't want everyone to show us with their expressions that something bad had happened.I intended to ask what happened, but Demian asked me to go back to my room to change. He also noticed t
DemianI thought about Dana during the night. I fell asleep next to her. I protected her with my arms and lost myself in the scent of her perfume. It had been a long time since I had slept so comfortably with someone. At that moment, I knew: I didn’t want to be away from her and I wasn’t going to, not even for what Rachel asked of me. I wanted to marry Dana today.I got up early in the morning and asked a notary to come to the house to marry Dana and me. She had no idea about this. I didn’t want to wait any longer to be her husband. I don’t know how things will continue after Rachel’s request and the conversation I had with the maid. I know she was right, and I had to put priorities on the table for the sake of the pack. But Dana was one of my priorities. She was the most important person alongside my children. And I couldn’t leave my son alone. If I left, Dana would be alone and have no one to trust.I made a promise to Dana. I promised her that I wouldn’t leave her and I wouldn’t ab
