"All this time, I thought it was a car accident, " Danielle said while she was crying.
"Yeah, me too, " I hugged her, for the first time in five years I hugged my sister again."we'll make them pay, right?" Danielle asked and looked at me like she used before, the look of believing in me as a big sister and I nodded and hugged her again.I waited until Danielle calmed down and slept, I went to the balcony and dialed ...after the fourth ring he answered and I said " can we meet?"I went out and headed to the park and waited, 10 minutes later Alexander showed up and sat beside me."you were right," I said and fought back the tears that threaten to fall."About?" Alexander asked."He killed my brother, Alex, he killed my big brother, Jake killed him," I said and cried.Alexander looked at me and anger and saddens were obvious in hiseyes and I got up and started pacing around."It hurts, it hurts, it hurt so bad I can't breathe, I can't think, I can't do anything,"I faced Alexander and said.Alexander took my hands and brought me to his chest and hugged me, and I couldn't do anything but cry in his arms."I'm so sorry, Alex, I'm so sorry, please forgive me." I said and looked at him and saw his glassy eyes because he was crying as well."I'd couldn't even be mad at you, so you don't need my forgiveness, " he took my face in his hands and said."how? how could you not be mad at me?" I asked."because I'm crazy... I'm crazy in your love, " Alexander said."not as much as me, because I love you so bad, that it even hurts, " I said and Alexander closed the gap between us and he asked, "will you leave me again?""Never," I answered and my voice was barely a whisper, And he kissed me... Alexander kissed me and I kissed him back then is started raining around us.I went back to Danielle's apartment at 2 am and my family was already there, my father... he was holding his gun, My mother... she was too hurt, Dominic was pacing around with anger, Danielle was calmer than before, I headed inside and sat beside my father."tell me everything," Dad said and I told him about what happened with Jake, and Dominic asked, "you shot him?""Yeah, I... I went crazy after what I heard." I explained."We can't beat him on our own, " my mom said."We are not on our own," I said and all the eyes turned to me.1 hour ago ."so that's all you heard?" Alexander asked and I looked at him and answered "yeah, ""I'm going to kill him, today he survived me, but the next time he won't," I said and Alexander took my hand in his and said, " he won't survive us.""you don't have to do this Alexander, this my fight," I said."I want to do this, I want to help, " he said."your family doesn't have to, I did enough damage... Alex, " I argued."I already texted my father and he agreed to help," Alexander said and put on a victorious smile."why? " I asked."because you're my happiness and my father cares about my happiness so he will do anything so that I would be happy, " he said.Present time"that's good, having the Knight family on our side is good, but something should be done, " my dad said."Natalie, you're entering the game again,"my dad said and he meant that I'm going to appear on the weekly meeting of the mob bosses."yes sir," I said.Dad turned to Dominic and said, "son, you will be watching over this assistant Ella, let's see where her loyalty stands.""Danielle, we need Roman back, you call him. " dad said."Roman as in Roman Xavier, dad are you crazy he is Jake's driver and best friend. " I said and dad smirked."is he?" dad asked humorously and an I got it, I said "he is your man isn't he, ""Exactly," Dad said.1 week laterit's the meeting day and Jake will be there and I have to look so confident, I wore a Black dress and high heels and went out of the apartment and there he was... Alexander was standing in front of his Ferrari, he was wearing a suit and I couldn't really keep my eyes off him.he looked at me and froze as soon as he did, he looked me up and down and smiled then he approached me and held out his hand and asked "ready?"I took his hand and said, " I was born ready.""let's go," Alexander said.we entered the car and Alexander drove us there when we got out of the car and headed inside, everyone stared at us and gasped, and honestly, I didn't know if it was because of how good we look or because I'm alive but it's probably option 2.I looked around and saw him, Jake... he was standing with his family, and they all stared daggers at me, I searched for mine and Alexander's family when we saw them, we headed there, Ella and Roman were there as well."may I have your attention, please," Dad said."I would like to announce to you some good news and that is my daughter, the mob Princess is still alive as you can see, so please don't treat her as a stranger, and thank you, " Dad said.I looked at Alexander with a smile and winked at him.he smiled and winked back, then I took a drink with my family, 15 minutes later I went to the restroom to check my make up, after I was done I washed my hands and then Jake entered and I stared his reflection in the mirror.To be continued on the next chapter."you're still alive, " I said with a smile, and I really felt that I'm back to who I was before, the strong, bad girl."you are still my wife, " Jake said and grabbed my arm and squeezed.I released my arm from his grip and said "no Jake, Natasha Andrews is your wife and I'm Natalie Salvator,""How did you turn Roman on me, " Jake asked. "Detka," I said baby in Russia and continued "Roman wasn't even with you, ""He was your father's man wasn't he?" Jake asked and looked hurt. "look, I don't blame you, I didn't know till a week ago, " I said and smirked."so you're back with Knight," Jake said. "what can I say, I suppose true love never dies, " I said. I remembered who told me this... Nicholas, I looked at Jake and asked "why did you kill him. "before he can answer Alexander entered the restroom and his gaze was on Jake, he came and stood in front of me, he really was like a knight in sh
Natalie's POVI woke up and I was still feeling yesterday's pain, I got up, took a shower, and went downstairs to have breakfast, everyone was on the table except Alex."where is Alex?" I asked and Danielle answered, "he is still asleep.", I went to Alexander's room and sat on the bed."Alex, ""Hmmm,""Alex get up, " I said and he didn't answer, I looked around in the room and found a water bottle, I went and opened it and emptied it on Alexander.he got up gasping and coughing water out of his mouth and I couldn't help but laugh, he said "Chto za chert " what the hell in Russian."you had it coming, the next time I ask you to wake up, you wake up, now come on let's eat breakfast, " I said and went downstairs.we ate breakfast and went to our meeting room, to see what we got from Aria's phone."so Danielle what do we have? " I asked."Nothing," Danielle answered.
This Chapter contains violence read at your own risk .have you ever died more than once? I know it's impossible for you but not for me because I died three times, the first time I died was when they took my brother away from me, the second time I died was when I left my loved ones, and now I died the third time, it feels like your soul is being pulled out of your body, or maybe it feels as if someone is holding your heart in his hands and in one move they ripped it out of your chest, I watched my loved ones being exploded in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything, I guess this is the benefit of living in a world like mine because this is what always happens, I watch my loved ones die.I cut my ropes and got up and sent my punch straight to his jaw, he fell to the ground, and I suppose we were alone here because no guards showed up.he got up and I stepped back, balancing my weight on my left foot, and threw my right fist out i
2 months have passed since the explosion and there is no news on the Andrews, Everyone is having a hard time understanding their conditions, Danielle is shutting everyone out, the doctor said this might happen to her, Dominic is holding up well, Ella is good but she is still scared to get out on her own, Roman wasn't damaged a lot and his and Danielle's relationship have grown because Danielle only talks to him, Alexander is by my side all the time and our relationship has gone back like it was before.I went to Danielle's room to give her some food when I entered it Danielle didn't even look up to see who it is, I put the food on the nightstand and sat on the bed, I looked at her."I don't blame you if you hate me by now, you're in this condition because of me, " I said."nothing is because of you sestra (sister), " Danielle said and gave me a comforting look."I'm the one who is supposed to be in your place, " I s
later that day after choosing the engagement party location which is in Russia in our house, we were sitting on the balcony drinking Nescafe while our maids we're preparing our suitcases, then someone rang the doorbell and I went downstairs to open the door.when I opened the door I found a woman with 7 years old girl with her, I said "hello""hi, are you Natalie Salvator?" the woman asked and I answered, "yes, who are you?""I'm... I'm Varushka Salvator, Nicholas's wife, " She said and I froze."but my brother wasn't_" she interrupted me and said, "I know he didn't tell any of you but that's the truth, please may I talk to you?""come in," I said and stepped away so she could enter the house, I led her upstairs and to the balcony, everyone turned to us."everyone this is... well that's what she said... this is Nicholas's wife... Varushka." I said and everyone went silent.
We've been having breakfast when I started to feel sick, my stomach was hurting me so badly when Mom noticed that I wasn't eating she said "sweetheart, are you okay?""Yeah, I just think I caught a cold, I'll go rest, " I said and went upstairs and to my room, a few moments later there was a knock on my door."Come in," I said and Varushka entered my room, and sat on the bed."are you okay?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm just feeling pain in my upper stomach, " I said."like a sharp pain?" she asked."Yeah, " I answered and she hummed."I know it's none of my business but I used to feel. this pain when I was pregnant with Aniyah, " she said and my eyes widened."you think I'm pregnant?" I asked."I mean maybe but you won't know for sure unless you do a pregnancy test, " she said and I answered immediately "how we can't get out of the house, " and the pain started to get sharper and I clutched
"I still can't wrap my head around the fact that you're going to be a mother in 9 months, " Ella said and I smiled while looking at the mirror while the designer has been putting the final touch on my dress for today's party."no one of us can, I swear Dominic kept asking me every 10 minutes if I'm serious when I told him, " Danielle said and I laughed and put my hand on my belly."there we go, you are all ready, Tesoro (sweetheart), " the designer said and asked Ella to come and stand so she could do her dress as well, she already done Danielle's, and I went and sat down beside Aniyah."hey, little one, how are you feeling so far, "I asked her as I put her on my lap while she was doing her homework."honestly I'm happy, everybody here loves me, especially Uncle Alexander, " she said."Alright now I'm jealous, " I said and laughed when I saw her confused over something on her notebook when I looked down it was a math operation,
"Kick him out, " My father in law said, or let me be more specific he yelled and slammed his hand on the table."We can't just kick him out, " Alexander said, and I sighed, this discussion has been going for hours, I raised my hand and said "may I say something, " and they nod their heads."I get it you all afraid of him, but let's try him for one week if he makes the slightest move, he's out, " I said and they seemed to think about and then they all agreed.I woke up in the middle of the night, and I was too hungry, I looked at Alexander beside me and decided not to wake him up, and went to the kitchen and turned on the light and I jumped and let out a yelp, Chris was on the kitchen counter drinking Vodka."Sorry didn't mean to scare you, " He said and he sounded half-drunk, I stepped into the kitchen and he offered me the bottle."no, I don't, " I said and he said "right, pregnancy, " and I opened the fridge and took some chee
<span;>"How could you do that?" Danielle asked with teary eyes while standing beside me. "She asked me to, Dani. She wanted me to put her out of her misery." I looked at the headstone in front of me. <span;>In a Memory of Natalie Salvator- De Luca.<span;>Mother, Sister and Wife. <span;>one month has passed, Natalie had woke up from the coma she was in but her case was getting worse and worse every day but she still couldn't let go of our marriage thing and I didn't stop her... we got married but our happiness didn't last long because shortly after, her sickness got worse to the point where she can't even get out of bed. <span;>'A few days ago' <span;>"Matteo, Please." Natalie looked at me with those blue eyes that once were filled with Joy but now they are only filled with pain and agony. <span;>"I can't Natalie." and I wasn't lying, she was asking me to kill her. How can one
2 months have passed, now I have 4 left, I've been trying different wedding dresses now, of course, Lana has asked Danielle to come and convince me to try them on, I wasn't planning on doing all this buzz, because with every day that passed I've been getting weaker and weaker."perfect," I heard both Lana and Danielle and I think I heard Ella's voice with them, so I turned around saw her leaning on the door frame, I immediately ran to her and hugged her."what are you doing here?" I asked and she laughed.she pulled back and said "when heard from Dominic that you're getting married, again, I couldn't stop myself from come here and help you, especially with everything that's going on, " and I pulled her in a hug again."you never hugged me like that, " I heard Dominic's voice say and pulled back."Hello, sis, " he said and I went to him and pulled him in my arms and hugged him, when we pulled back, he said "so that's how we ended up hearing that you're s
I woke up and looked beside me to find Matteo staring at me, I yelped and said "what the hell?" he laughed at me."I'm admiring, " he said and I answered "you're staring, ""it's romantic, " he said and I answered "it's creepy, " and he took a pillow and throw it at my face.there was a knock on the door and I heard Lana say "love birds get up, breakfast is ready, " and that's what we did.as we were having breakfast while Lana was playing with the children, I looked at Matteo, put my fork and knife down, leaned back in my chair, and said "I'm dying, " and he immediately froze in his place and asked "what?""I'm sick Matteo, " I said and he put his knife and fork down and asked, "what do you mean sick?" I sighed and looked away." I have a brain tumor, all I have left is six months, " I explained, looked back at him, and saw that his eyes are red, and a tear escaped his eye."and there is no treatment?" he asked, his voice was shaky, and I a
(6 months later)"Alright, guys, this ends today's lecture, and don't forget to bring the assignments tomorrow, thank you, " I said as all the students started heading out and I began organizing my stuff when one of my students Laura I think, came to me."Professor Salvator, I'm sorry but I won't be able to attend the lectures these days, " she said nervously."why?" I asked her."umm, my father he passed out recently, and I'm uhh, " she said and started crying, I immediately hugged her, she hugged me back."it's okay, I get it, believe me, " I said and she pulled back and said, "I thought that I could get used to it but the pain never ends, when will it end?""It won't end, it's going to be with you till the rest of your life but by the time you'll learn to live with it, I did, " I explained and she just looked at me and listened after that she went out and I went home, Lana is so gonna kill me.I opened the door to the apartment and saw La
"Sister, I just heard about what happened how are you holding up?" Danielle asked me, this is the first time she called me in months."Well, I mean Alexander is gone and that's a good thing but..." I paused and my eyes started to water."the man who saved me from this whole thing, Can't remember me now, so..." I said and started crying."tell me what happened, " Danielle said.(2 months ago)I was sitting in the chair next to Matteo like I've been doing since the incident when I noticed that he's opening his eyes, I quickly took his hand in mine, when he was completely awake, I looked at him and smiled.he smiled back and asked, "Who the hell are you?" I felt as if my blood froze in my veins at his question, and my smile turned into a frown.Matteo's family rushed to the room with the doctor, I got up so that he can examine Matteo.after a few check-ups and a few questions, the doctor asked us to come with him."he is ok
"so you're asking us to kill Alexander?" The leader of the council who is Dimitri asked."No sir, I'm asking you to get the people who he kidnapped back and I think I can deal with him, " I explained."But I think we should end the Knight family, Alexander was being a trouble to us lately, " Leonid said and I nodded my head."so what is it exactly you want from us, Natalie?" Uncle Maxim asked."All I'm asking for is protection for me and my children in the meantime, and in return, Matteo here is ready to make things good with us Russians, and he will be a big help in our operations, " I explained and Dimitri seemed to think about it and then turned his attention to Matteo."Mr.De Luca is that true?" Dimitri asked and Matteo nodded his head."yes, but in two conditions, one: Natalie and her children will be kept safe, two: I want Alexander's head, " Matteo said and Dimitri got up and went to him and after a few more stares at each other, he offered
We were walking in Matteo's house yard after he asked to bring the twins with me, and if I'm being honest I really am surprised that he wanted to see them, given that half of them is still Alexander's, he was now helping Irina walk, since Charles Jr has been running around, he was able to walk so quickly that I didn't even see it coming."How?" I asked and his eyes met mine and he asked "How?""How can you treat my children like that even though you know Alexander is their father?" I asked him and he let out a small laugh."If I learned anything through the years, is to never judge someone by their relatives, and especially these children they don't deserve to be treated horribly because of their crazy father, and you didn't deserve to be treated like he treated you, you are made of gold and gold gets treated so carefully, " Matteo said and I just noticed that my eyes watered at his words.after what he said we went and sat at a table and I put both Irina and
"Natalie, talk to me sister, " Dominic said and I stared at him trying to decide if I should tell him or not."I-I met someone, he is a very good person, he is serious but, " I stopped and he was nodding his head as I've been talking."But you're afraid if you ask Alexander for divorce he will take the children away from you, " he said and I nodded my head as I've been playing with my hands because of nervousness."at least tell me his name so I could check everything about him, " he said."His name is Matteo De Luca, " I said and Dominic's eyes widened."Do you know who that is?" Dominic asked me and I wanted to say yes but I just realized that I don't even know who he is."He is the guy who killed Alexander's father, " he said and my brain has shut down, there is no way Matteo killed Alex's father."And he is the father of Lea's daughter," Dominic continued."Sister, for both our sakes, stay away from him, and as in for Alexan
Natalie's POV"Yeah, I have to stay for more days, " Alexander said on the phone and I was about to answer but he closed the line before hearing me out.it's been 3 months, 3 fucking months where Alexander kept saying, today and tomorrow and I was fucking sick of this, I'm going to ask him for divorce and it's not because of Matteo, it's just this marriage is not working anymore.and for the last month, I stopped sneaking because I moved out to one of Dominic's properties and took Lana with me, so I just feel free and Alexander didn't even put men to follow me, I mean who knows maybe he got himself a bitch to stay with him.suddenly my phone rang, grabbing me out of my thoughts I was about to answer when Lana pulled the phone from my hand."what the fuck?" I asked and she smiled at me."take a hold of yourself girl, play hard to get, " she said and I scoffed."I've been playing hard to get for three months, " I said and she handed me the pho
