     Biting his lower lip, Xanthis knocked on the door of Dre's bedroom.

He walked in after Dre responded with a, "Come in"

He was sitting on the couch, arms folded across his chest. He stared at his brother with dull eyes, his face holding no emotion.

"What do you want?" Dre asked, his gaze unwavering.

"You suspect me, don't you?"

Xanthis asked, a weary look on his face.

Alex looked away.

"What are you trying to say?"

"I know you don't trust me. I know you think I'm after the mafia. I know you think I want to hurt you. You're wrong, Alex. I never wanted to hurt you. I just..... wanted to stay here for a little while and get you to trust me and feel what brotherly love I still have for you. Deep down, you know that I would never do anything to--"

Dre interrupted him.

"You could as well deceive me and I would fall for it"

Xanthis sighed.

"I'll be leaving today. I just don't want us to still be at loggerheads with each oth

    "What do you mean?" Alexandre asked."Jacobi was your father's best friend" she replied."You've got to be kidding me" he muttered under his breath, throwing her an incredulous look."Your father was very close to Jacobi. When he wanted to marry me, he introduced me to his best friend and we arranged for Jacobi to be the best man. We never knew that Jacobi wasn't actually what he claimed to be. He always teased your father, telling him that he wouldn't mind taking me as his own wife. Alessio and I got married and few months later, I got pregnant. Jacobi seemed nicer and very much supportive. Somewhere around the eight month of my pregnancy, Jacobi and Alessio returned home from a mafia meeting.

Then, he kissed her forehead."There's someone I'll like you to meet" he said.The door opened and an older man walked in.Alicia gasped. Only then did Ellise notice the familiarities."Ellise, meet my dad. Dad meet Ellise, the love of my life"Everyone was shocked."Nice to meet such a lovely lady.

    "Your family is finally reunited, Dre. Isn't it great? Shouldn't we be celebrating?" Dmitri said to his friend, a smile on his face."Shut up, you twat. There are bigger things to focus on" Dominic said."A little fun wouldn't hurt, Mr Grumpy pants. So, what d'you say, Alex?""I'm not really up for a flamboyant celebration, but my mum obviously wants it. We just have to be on guard" Dre responded."Andre?"

    "Come on, Ellise. You should eat something. Stop starving yourself like this" Ellise's mother said to her.She turned away from her mother, wiping away her tears furiously."Mum, why can't you and Dad drop the charges against Alexandre?" She queried.Mrs Sumner sighed."I've tried to persuade your father, but he wouldn't listen.""Mum, Xandre didn't kidnap me. He saved me from a drunk man who'd tried to rape me. Mum, if Dre spends one more night in police custody, I'm going to leave this house and never come back" Ellise said."I'll try to convince your dad, but you have to eat. Alexandre wouldn't like to see you like this" her mum said. Gritting her teeth, she started to eat the sandwiches."Mum?" She said, her gaze meeting her mother's."Yes, honey""Can you do me a favor?" She asked."I really want to see Dre right now. Can you cover up for me?" Ellise asked."El...""Please, mum. He could

    "Keep your eyes and ears open for clues, got it?" Dominic said and Ellise nodded."There are two main doors here, I suggest we split" Dmitri said."Dmitri, Xanthis, Marcello, you guys are coming with me" Dominic said."Ellise, Son, you're okay to come with me?" Alessio asked and Xanthis nodded.Nolan, Wyatt who were part of the team came with us too. "This place reeks of weed and alcohol" Xanthis said, his face scrunching up with disgust."Valentino has to be around here somewhere" Nolan said. Ellise halted as soon as she heard movements."Ellise, what's wrong?" Alessio asked."I think someone or some people are here with us" she responded.A figure jumped out of the shadows to attack Alessio from behind. Without looking at whosoever it was, Alessio shot him dead. "Yeah, you shouldn't be surprised, my dear. It's what happens after many years of being a mafia boss" he said to a surprised Ellise.Ano

    A few weeks had passed since the unfortunate event that happened to Alexandre. According to the doctors, his head injury resulted to a retrograde amnesia. The doctors weren't certain about when he would regain his memories. Ellise was too heartbroken to stay in the Loides mansion, knowing that the love of her life had forgotten all about her and the memories they'd shared together. Moreover, Dre had seemed to suffer an intense pain each time he saw her, and whenever he tried to remember who she really was, it would worsen his condition. This made the doctor to advise Ellise to see Dre less often and stay away for a while. But, she couldn't stay away for too long, she had to see him again. Taking a deep breath, Ellise pressed the door bell of the main entrance of Dre's house. Cecilia opened the door and embraced her"My dear, it's been two months since we saw each other. I don't need to ask you how you have been

    "Honey, there's someone at the door. I think you should go and see who it is" Ellise's mum said as she chopped vegetables for dinner."Fine" Ellise mumbled, rising to her feet. Half heartedly, she twisted the door knob and opened the door. She was stunned to see Dre standing right there with a bunch of white and pink flowers. Her heart literally melted. There was just something about him. His emerald green eyes were brighter than they used to be. Ellise wondered how he'd located her house in the first place. For a moment, she thought that she was hallucinating."No hug for me, my love?" he said, smirking at her"Oh my God!" She screamed, throwing herself into his arms."You remember!" She breathed, happy tears filling her eyes."Why else would I be here?" he laughed."You have no idea how much I've missed holding you" Ellise said to him.He smiled, pressing a kiss to her forehead."I love you" he said."I love you too, Dre.

    Valentino grunted as he brought the sixth bottle of vodka to his lips. He was exhausted to the bones and was very drunk. He didn't want to feel anything. Yet in this state, he felt emotions that he didn't want to feel.Hurt, Regret, sadness, defeat.He wanted to block them out desperately. He was tired of everything. He felt drained. He felt like he deserved every resentment he had towards himself. His self loathing was bone deep.But why? Why would it be him?Why couldn't fate be a little more considerate? He had suffered a lot and even now he was being tormented.He took another gulp from his bottle. He could sense the fact that Alexandre had beaten him at his own game, but he detested being a looser. He didn't want to loose. Maybe he could back out. But, would he ever be forgiven? He was alone and he had no family. And just maybe... he would die a loner.Sighing miserably, he brushed his damp hair away from his f

    NOELLE "Hey, mum" I turned to look at my thirteen year old daughter as she sauntered into the kitchen, dressed in a pink dress and a bow tie on her hair. "Hey, sweetie" I said as I closed the cupboards."Dad isn't home yet" she said, leaning on the counter.I shrugged."He'll be home soon. Hope you remember that we're heading to your grandparents' home for Thanksgiving dinner?" I said and she beamed."Nope, I haven't forgotten. Rick is being such a lazy boy. He wouldn't get ready for dinner" she frowned."I'm not being a lazy boy, Hayden. You're just being insensitive" Richardo, my eleven year old son said as he strolled into the kitchen wearing a pair of dark blue jeans."Mum! Richardo just called me insensitive!" Hayden exclaimed."Rick! That's not a nice thing to say to your elder sister!" I scolded.He frowned, staring at the floor."Apologize to her" I said."But-""I said, apologize to her""I'm s

    Ellise let out a sigh, leaning against the wall as she watched different people move around in a lively manner. The whole place was nicely decorated. Men and women of high class moved about with glasses of champagne in their hands.She sighted Valentino in the far corner of the hall. He didn't look happy despite the fact that a celebration was going on. Noelle was standing beside him with her head on his shoulder as she talking to him. Ellise watched him sigh and embrace her, his eyes slipping close. She felt a painful jolt in her heart watching them embrace. She could picture herself in Noelle's position with her Dre replacing Val. It was so hard to look at her husband's brothers and not break down. At the other end of the hall stood Xanthis, he looked just as gloomy as Valentino. Tasha had embraced him from behind, whispering something in his ear. Flashbacks of her doing the same to Dre appeared in her mind and she bit her lips trying to stop the tears. A strang

    Dre's knees buckled and Ellise went down with him, cradling his head in her arms."El-""Sh, save your strength" she said, tears filling her eyes.He shook his head, more blood pouring out from his mouth."I'm s-sorry. It isn't supposed to end like this" he rasped, tears filling his eyes."Stop saying that!" She cried, trying to stop the bleeding."Y-you don't understand... I don't think I c-can survive this" he wheezed.She was sobbing at this point.Xanthis hurried to Dre's side, his face paling at the sight of his brother.Valentino had dialled 911.Dre coughed again, more blood staining his lips and chin."B-but I want you to know that- none of this is your fault. I-I might never see my kids again b-but I want you to raise them like the good mother you are-"He gasped, his eyelids slipping close.

    Ellie had a sinking feeling in her stomach as she watched Zack and his brother pull out guns. All she could think of was the possibility of loosing Dre tonight. She tried to take her mind of it but it wasn't working. Some other men walked into the room, fully armed. The fight had begun. She wasn't scared.She was purely terrified.She hugged her arms to herself as the cold air hit her skin. The thin hospital dress did nothing to warm her up. The temperature in the room had dropped considerably, she was shivering. Through the rising fog, she tried to find Dre to make sure that he was safe.All she could think of was his safety.She needed him alive.She needed him safe.She grimaced at the sounds of pained groans and moans coming from the room. She nearly gagged as the unmistakable metallic scent of blood hit her nostrils.The fog was clearing and she could see the number of bodies lying on the floor, unconscious.

    "We were wrong, Dre. We were so wrong. Look, Fletcher had three sons. They were fucking triplets! The names.... It was just to confuse us, they were three different people! Their supposed last names seemed different because they were only using their first names and middle names! There was no accident. Zack is Zack. He didn't have a face transplant. As I'm speaking to you right now, we've got two of them with some psycho men, trying to barge into the base. I don't know where the last one is but I have a bad feeling that something isn't right. Are you still at the hospital?" Xanthis asked through the phone."Yeah" Dre replied, distantly. He turned away from the exit, changing his mind completely. He needed to get back to Ellise."Go back to Ellie, mate. Things are pretty much unstable right now""I know, but you sure you guys are okay down there?" Dre asked, hurrying towards the ward."Yeah, for now. They are psychos for real. This is harder th

    'Okay, breathe Ellie.You can do this' Ellise thought as she stifled another scream. She'd woken up from a nap, only to find her sweatpants wet. The babies were coming and she was so scared. The contractions were increasing and it hurt so bad."Oh God, I can't even walk" she muttered, picking up her phone to call her husband. She bit her lower lip, her eyes glassy. When she dialled his number, he picked the call."Ellie?""Dre...oh thank God. I think the babies are coming" she croaked, sniffling weakly."Oh shit" Dre cursed under his breath. "It hurts, Dre" she whispered."Keep breathing, honey. I'll be right there in a few minutes. You can do this" he said and she nodded frantically, placing a hand on her stomach."Please, keep talking to me. I'm... scared" she whispered."I'm right here, baby. You're going to be a wonderful mother. You're going to make me a proud father. You're okay. You're doing great" he said.

    "Have I ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?" Val asked, gazing into Noelle's eyes. She smiled, giddily."No?""Then, I'm saying it now. Your eyes are stunning, Elle" he whispered.She blushed hard."Your eyes are beautiful too, Val" she said, brushing his hair out of his eyes. "But, yours are more beautiful" he winked. "I'm not having an argument with you" she pouted.He laughed."Well, we've been dating for months but I feel like I've known you far more than that. I- I just.... I don't deserve you, you know. With everything that-"His voice was shaky with emotion, her heart ached for him. She stroked the scarred side of his face. "No, don't say that. You deserve even more than me, Val. You're a great guy. You have a big heart and you're so sweet. I couldn't have asked for anything less. You're perfect" she said, caressing his face. Tears filled his eyes and a tear rolled down his left cheek.

    "I don't get it. How is this happening right now? How did I not recognize him? I dated him for nearly a year but..... Elvis.... This is giving me a headache" Ellise frowned, pacing back and forth as she rubbed her temple."Hey, hey. You have to calm down. Stress isn't good for the baby. I'm sure there must be an explanation for all of this. Why would your ex do something like this?" Alex said, sitting her down on the couch. She frowned, biting her lower lip."Why would he send Cornelia? Why would he send her to do his dirty job for him and why did she do it?" She said."It just doesn't make sense. Cornelia has been ranting about her wanting to avenge Gomez's death. What does it have to do with him?""I guess we're about to find out" Valentino said walking in with a file. Dre stood up, giving him a puzzled look."What's in there?" Ellise asked."Information. Everything you need to know about Zack Thompson is here"Dr

    Shocked to silence, Ellise stared at her husband who was showing her the dark part of him for the first time since she'd married him.He seemed to have become a different person entirely. He looked so relaxed and he had a very evil smirk on his face even while he was bleeding a lot. Ellise found it rather scary.Cornelia cried out in pain when another knife lodged itself on her right thigh."How does it feel? Tell me, do you like it? It's called pain. The pain you caused me can't be compared to this. I know you're insane but I'll punish you. I warned you, didn't I?" Dre said, plunging the blade of another knife into fire until it became red hot. "Please" Cornelia whimpered."What did you say?" He whispered, mockingly.She remained silent, tears rolling down her cheeks.Ellise almost felt sympathy for her but when she remembered what she'd done to her family, how she'd almost killed her husband, she felt no remorse, n
