Jace is standing by the grave when the shooting started. While Eliana was few feet away from where he was. When Jace realized they were been shoot at, he ran towards Eliana in an attempt to protect her from the gunshots.

Before he could reach where Eliana was standing in confusion, a bullet hit him. Seeing that made Eliana scream with wide eyes.

"Jace! No!" Eliana ran to him.

Jace was more concerned about Eliana lying on the ground than running to him. "Get down Eliana." He said to her but she paid no attention to his words and came to him. His bodyguards surrounded both Jace and Eliana, while they continued to fire back.

When the sirens of police was heard coming closer, the black SUV drove off.

"Jace ... Are you alright? Oh my God! You are bleeding." Eliana continued to panic as she checked where Jace was hit.

"I will be fine. Are you hurt?" Jace asked as he inspected Eliana.

She shook her head. "N- no. But you are bleeding, Jace. We have to get you to the hospital. Now." Eliana sug

"I just saw what happened on the news. You're fine right!?" Zia asked for the nth time.Eliana fights the urge to roll her eyes at her friend's over exaggeration. "For the uncountable amount of time, I am perfectly fine." Eliana said."Oh thank God! And Jace, how is he? I hope his condition is not too serious?" Zia asked with concern."I think so, but I haven't seen him yet. He has been transferred to a room now from the ER." Eliana explained. "How is Amelia?" "She is in the living room, watching TV with Nonna. I am changing Theo in his room." Zia explained."Ok. Thank you for checking on me. We will talk soon." Eliana said."Extend my condolences to Jace. Take care. Bye" Zia said before ending the call.***Few moments later after Jace was transferred, they all went to check on him. Although when one o

But it never came due to his phone ringing.Jace didn't make a move to even look at his phone that laid on a table, by the side of the bed. Eliana looked between Jace and the phone multiple times as the phone continued to ring.Jace laid his head and closed his eyes."Aren't you going to answer that?" Eliana couldn't help any longer but ask, after the phone rang for the second time."I don't feel like talking to anyone." Jace said nonchalantly. He did not mov

    Jace felt strange all over his body. But an Idea came to him. He folded the IV cord to stop the liquid from going into his body. He pretended to be asleep, but he was watching the doctor with his eyes half closed.The doctor has his attention on the second needle with a liquid content in it. He was injecting it into the IV drip and didn't notice that Jace had stopped the flow of the fluid.As for Jace, the strange feelings he started to have has stopped. That was when he paid more attention to the doctor. Jace realized the man does not look like a doctor at all. The man has a max on his face and a scrub cap on his head. Jace could not tell if he knew who the man was or not. His cowboy boots made Jace believe the man is no doctor at all and he has tattoos that are visible on his neck. Jace could swear he has seen that tattoo somewhere before.The man looked at his wrist watch, the same tattoo that was on his neck, is on his wrist too. It's a tattoo of a python with red eyes and wings

    The whole room looked like a war zone. As Carlos entered, he kept looking around, wondering what must have happened there. Jace also looked out of place."Boss, you are bleeding." Carlos said. Pointing at Jace's Injured hand.That was when Jace spared Carlos a glance, then back at his bleeding hand."Did Eliana get into the apartment before you left? I mean when you drove her there." Jace asked. He knows she will be safe there. He needed to make sure she was in his apartment. The whole place is well secured."Yes boss, she did." Carlos confirmed.Jace nodded. He wanted to call Eliana, but it was too early, he thought. He might scare her. He has to wait until later when he is sure she is awake.Jace looked at his bleeding shoulder before responding to Carlos. "I will sought that out later, but first," Jace pointed at the unconscious man on the floor. "Take him somewhere secluded, tie him up and I will be there as soon as I can. Under no circumstances will you let him out of your sight.

    "I said how much do you want?" Jace asked again. From the look on the man's face, and how quiet he is now, shows he has interest in the offer.That gave Jace courage to continue. "I will double whatever it is they paid you. Just name it."Jace might used to be hot-tempered before, but he has never been in a situation like this one. Where he would hold someone captive. But it was necessary so that he could get the information he needed. He needs to know who is after his life and why? "I want 10 million. Can you come up with that Mr Bratkowski!?" After being quiet for a while, the man said with a smirk on his bloody face."Done." Jace said. That made the man agape in shock. He was surprised at how easily Jace accepted his offer. He felt like what does he have to lose from telling him!? He can just use the money and leave for another city and start a new life over there. With that money, he could get any girl he wants at any fucking time."Untie him, " Jace said. Looking at Carlos.Ca

    "what!? What happened?" Eliana asked. Her voice was laced with worry as she spoke on the phone."Can I speak to her?" She asked, pacing around in the living area of Jace's apartment.She just received a call from Zia saying that Benjamin had to bring Amelia home. She was throwing up in school and she has a fever.Zia didn't want to worry Eliana, but she had to let her know the condition of her daughter. Amelia was taken to the hospital. After some tests, she just had the flu. So the doctor prescribed some drugs for her and Benjamin got them before he took Amelia home. She was given the medicine and now she is asleep.Zia tried to calm her friend down, because she could hear the panic in Eliana's voice. "Calm down Eliana, she will be just fine. In fact, she was already feeling better before she slept. I promise." Zia explained.Eliana chewed on her finger as she paced back and forth. She wishes she could just see herself in Carefree town within the twinkle of an eye. "Oh my God, Zia,

    Eliana couldn't move for a while. A smile spread across her face from Jace's confession. For a moment, she forgot about everything and everyone. Only Jace's words kept echoing in her head.'I love you, Eliana. I love you, Eliana. I love you, Eliana.'This is it. He finally said it. Eliana felt the same way for a very long time. But to her, it felt odd to be the first to say it. He is the man, he should be the one to confess it first. And now he has and she knows Jace is waiting expectantly to her response. Jace's voice broke Eliana's chain of thoughts."You there? I am sorry. I chose a bad time to confess my feelings. But I have felt the same way for a while now and I couldn't keep it to myself any longer and -" "I love you too." Eliana said.It was Jace's turn to go quiet. A smile spread on his face.Jace has reached his father's house but asked Carlos to park outside the gate of the house.Carlos gave a little smile, seeing the expression on his boss's face.

    "Mummy!" Amelia ran to her mother and engulfed her in a hug. "You are back." She exclaimed."Yes sweetie. I am back." Eliana hugged her back at the same time trying to feel her daughter's temperature. It was a relief to Eliana when she felt her daughter's temperature felt almost normal. "I am sorry I took too long before coming back." She said after releasing her daughter from the hug.They walked hand in hand back to the room Amelia stays in, whenever she was at Zia's house for a night. They sat down on the bed."It's ok mummy. I know Uncle Jace was sad." Amelia reasoned. "Is Uncle Jace not sad anymore?"Eliana talked to her daughter at least twice a day since she left for the city. She explained to her that Jace is sad because his father went up to the heavens, where Eliana's parents are now. That means Jace will not see his father again. As Eliana has explained."He is less sad now. "Eliana hoped what she said would be true.Amelia smiled, then nodded. "Ok. Good."The mother and da

I know you are going to do great." Jace said, holding her hand, excitedly.Eliana chuckled. "You didn't let me finish." She reasoned."Oh.. what else?" Jace asked."I will take the job on one condition." Eliana said, raising one finger up."Whatever you want, my love." Jace confirmed."I want Zia by my side in the kitchen." Eliana said. "She would act like the strength with authority there." She added."Done. Anything else?

    Eliana walked into the bedroom and her husband was on a call. She could easily make up what he was discussing on the phone. It was about the new hotel that was about to be launched. They haven't decided the date yet but everything was ready. It took Jace and his good friend Jayden to get the hotel done.

Eliana replied.They hugged each other after sharing a kiss."I love you so much. Today was just amazing." Eliana said."Anything to make my wife happy. Besides, you deserve it all." Jace said. Putting his chin on her head. "I love you even more.""Even Zia and her entire family!" Eliana said. Her hands still wrapped around his torso as they swayed gently in the silence of the night. "You are just so amazing. When did you have time to pull that off?" Eliana probed, looking up at him."Quite some time a

    *** A year later ***A maybach drove into Bratkowski's mansion in the evening. In the back seat of the car, Eliana and her husband sat. Eliana looked sad."Wifey, this is supposed to be a happy moment. Why the long face?" Jace asked, caressing her hand.Eliana sighed. "Hubby, I invited them all but no one showed up. They all had one excuse or the other. Not even Maya. She works for you, you should have forced her to show up at my certificate awarding of culinary school." Eliana said with a pout.Eliana got to meet Maya in one of her visits to Jace's office. She was so happy when she met her and realized she was the same lady Axel was drooling over at her wedding.eDestiny is what brought them together because they were destined to be together. As Eliana believed.Jace chuckled and kissed the back of her hand. "I can't force anyone, especially if it is not work related. You know that, right?" He tried to reason with her. "I know." Eliana said, still pouting."Good. Now let's go. The ki

    A week has passed and Eliana decided to put one of Chelsea's advice into action. She had already planned everything before she left home that morning.At school, she quickly concluded her practical for that day early so that she can achieve her mission. She headed to the company afterwards.Walking to the front desk at the entrance, Eliana approached the receptionist."Hello." Eliana said at the receptionist. She was still nervous but tried to put on a smile. She was holding onto the lunch she packed for them from school and some things she bought on her way."Good day, how can I assist you -" the receptionist began before looking up. When she looked up, recognition flashed in her eyes. "Oh, Mrs Bratkowski, you are welcome." Eliana was a bit relieved. At least the receptionist recognised who she was. 'She must have attended our wedding.' Eliana thought to herself. That could only be the explanation, since she has never visited the office."I am here to see my husband, can you direct

    "Want more sauce?" Eliana asked."Me. Me. Me." All the three little girls at the table cooed, raising their hands up with excitement. They were all savoring the dishes served to them. Eliana prepared the food with the assistance of her kitchen staff."Wifey, this is amazing." Jace said when he was done with his meal. "It is 100 times better than anything I have had that was not prepared by you " he added, while cleaning his mouth.That made the adults on the table laugh. Although they also find her cooking amazing."Thanks hubby." Eliana said with a smile. The children were served a little more of the soup that they wanted more of.Days and weeks later.

    "What are you guys not telling me?" Eliana asked. After following Jace into the closet. "After all, I was trying to play matchmaker for Axel." She added, putting her hands on her waist.Jace chuckled as he put on his pajamas pants. "I didn't know that. When did you decide to do that? Playing Cupid and all." He asked."Since our wedding." Eliana said. Picking up the towel Jace earlier had on him. "I noticed how he was gawking over a lady that was sitting at a different table. I wanted to introduce myself to her but then I was distracted for a moment. Before I could get to her again, she was nowhere to be found." Eliana explained.They both walked out of the closet. Jace first and Eliana tailing behind."It turns out he worked it out all by himself." Jace said before sitting on the bed. Eliana walked back into the bathroom. She hung the towel where it should be and then walked back into their bedroom."Yeah, it did. They would have been a perfect match though. She is beautiful and lo

    "Wait! What!?" Eliana exclaimed. Her eyes grew wide at Axel's suggestion. She abruptly got up from her sitting position.Jace's eyes were wide as well. "You are joking, right? Don't get my hopes up and then you would say you are joking. Just tell me it's a joke." He blurted. Jace is still seated, but he was close to standing up as well because he was sitting by the edge of the chair.Axel looked between the two as they acted very surprised by his words. "No. I am not. I am sorry I caught you both off guard. After everything I have made you go through. This is the least I can do for her happiness and my way of feeling less guilty for the things that happened." Axel explained."Oh and Jace, that makes you the highest shareholder of the company." Axel announced with an assuring nod. "Because half of mine now goes to my daughter." He added.Alex was still at Eliana and Jace's home when he told them that he was waiting for his lawyer. A few moments later, two lawyers came to their house. T

    "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! You are here." Amelia cheered, running towards Axel. The butler that walked him into the house took a bow and walked away."Hey Princess." Axel said, opening his hands wide for the running Amelia. He picked her up and swung her around before hugging her close to his chest.Axel laughed and Amelia giggled at that. "Woah. My Princess is getting bigger by the day." He said, after putting her down."Yes. I am a big girl now and a big sister too." Amelia said, as she pulled her father's hand towards the living room. "Mummy, daddy is here." She announced, looking at the direction of the stairs.When Axel arrived, he called Eliana and let her know he was at the gate. The gate was then opened for him and he drove through the huge compound of the mansion.Eliana was changing Liam's diaper then. She told Amelia her father was downstairs.
