DYLANI sighed, shaking my head slowly. "Tell me about it.""But hey, don't worry. You're going to work this out, okay? Let me know if I can help you in any way. You have my full support on this issue," Sophie assured me with a smile of encouragement lighting up her face."Thanks, Sophie."Deep down, I wanted to ask Sophie more about Liam. She knew him personally better than anyone else. Maybe she knew some information about his private life that no one else knew. After all, they had been together for something like ten months, so she had to know something useful.I had decided against that idea after a sense of humanity kicked in. Her relationship with Liam was something she didn't like talking about; heck, it still gave her nightmares. She was working on herself after that relationship, and she didn't deserve to be forced to remember all the tragic events that had occurred in their relationship, some of which we knew and others that she had chosen to keep private and share only with

DYLAN"I understand you perfectly well. She's a different person now. She's helping us in a way.""But she's also Hank's girlfriend, and she loves him. She can change sides at any minute. Just keep yourself safe for me so that we can enjoy each other for the rest of our lives.""Okay, my love. I'd do anything to keep you by my side. Always.""Do you promise me, baby?" she asked me, framing my face with her hands."Always. I promise."Alena smiled at me warmly, and she gently placed her delicious lips on mine, kissing me. I worked my hands on her body as I responded to the kiss passionately.It wasn't an urgent or hungry kiss. It was slow, heartfelt, and intimate. We savored each and every second, and I loved it. I lived for these moments.Every inch of her skin was sacred to me. I adored her.We both pulled away from the kiss together, breathing faintly with our eyes locked. She was breathtakingly beautiful every single day."Take care of yourself and drive carefully. I'll be home soo

DYLANGwen nodded slowly in agreement. "You're right. This isn't a convenient time after all. I think I should leave.""You didn't come for Lynette's party. Is everything okay?""I'm okay. I wasn't feeling okay. I decided to lie down for a bit."I looked at her outfit with questioning eyes. She chuckled nervously. "I'm feeling a little better now, so I decided to step out for some fresh air. That's why I dressed up.""Okay. You can get a chauffeur to drive you home if you want to. Good night."Gwen put her hand on my arm once again. I was getting tired of this. "Are you okay? You seem tense and angry, Dylan."I placed my hand on top of Gwen's and slowly slid it off my arm, looking into her eyes sternly. "I don't have any peace because of your boyfriend, Gwen. By now, you should know he is the cause of all my problems at the moment. Go home. I don't want to talk about it.""I understand," she replied softly. "Thank you for everything you've done for me, Dylan. I'm sorry.""Sorry for wh

DYLANWhen Alena said she was going to show her bad bitch side, what I imagined was nothing close to the horrific drama unfolding before me. The sweet and soft Alena I knew vanished out of the blue, and the side of her I never knew existed emerged.Alena attacked Gwen mercilessly with the shower head, hitting her bare arms and legs over and over again. Her actions screamed bitterness and untameable anger. I could feel the pain and the confusion going on in her mind.Gwen's cries for mercy filled the room as she tried her best to take the shower head away from Alena and stop her from hitting her with it.The floor was wet and slippery. I was afraid Alena would slip and fall since she wasn't concentrating on where she was stepping but rather on her target. To make matters worse, she was still wearing heels."If you think you can get away with everything, then you're wrong, Gwen," Alena raged, shrugging off Gwen's hands clamped around her wrists. "Why can't you see others happy and leave

DYLANI didn't look back. I had far more important things to focus on at the moment, like Alena. I ran up the stairs to our bedroom.Alena was there, five feet away, waiting for me with her arms folded. Her eyes were red, and she was still wet. My baby was mad at me.I closed the door behind me and took a step forward. "Don't come anywhere close to me, Dylan. Stay where you are, and I'll stay where I am.""No, Alena," I replied, taking a step forward. "I need to hold you in my arms right now and have you close to me. This isn't easy for me either." I spoke to her calmly, taking another step towards her."This is not the time to romance me, Dylan. If you come close to me, I won't be responsible for the consequences," she warned me, taking two steps backwards. She still had tears falling from her eyes."Please don't cry. I can explain what happened," I begged her, yearning to hug her and kiss away all her tears. Crying wasn't her portion."That sounds so rich coming from you, Dylan," sh

DYLANI was willing to take everything she had to offer, so long as we'd reach a conclusion that'd unite us both. I wasn't going to lose her because of a lie. It wasn't her fault; she was mad. I'd be mad too, or maybe even worse. She had her own way of expressing her feelings. I was her husband, and it was my duty to listen to her and make her calm down.Would she, though?"What would you do if you were me, Dyl? Would you just sit down and pretend nothing at all happened? Won't you reprimand me and demand answers?""I'd sit down with you and let you explain. I'd judge you after hearing your side of the story."Alena walked to the couch, and she collapsed onto it, folding her arms and crossing her legs. "There. Sit down, and let's talk. We'll do it your way since it seems I'm the unfair one here."I walked to the bed and sat on the ottoman, leaning forward to be much closer to her. I wanted to look at her and see her face. I wanted her to see the sincerity in my eyes and believe me. Un

DYLANA lump lodged in my throat, and I felt something sharp pierce my heart. "You still haven't forgiven me, Alena. You... you still hold that against me," I whispered, my voice threatening to break. Tears stung my eyes. I felt crushed completely.Alena just looked at me, panting heavily from her outburst. I looked at her, my eyes softening. "You don't trust me because you think that I'm going to hurt you once again and treat you like trash," I quoted her words."I didn't say that. I didn't say that I didn't forgive you.""If you brought it up, Alena, it means you haven't. You still have bitterness in your heart.""Don't put words in my mouth, Dylan. If you have nothing better to say, don't say anything at all. Forgiving is one thing, and forgetting is another. Don't make me feel bad, and don't look at me like that. It's not about me today. It's about you.""It has always been about me, Alena. Everything bad that has happened between us, every tear you've shed, the pain you've gone t

DYLANI grasped Alena firmly by her arms out of the blue, making her jump slightly. "That bullshit doesn't work on me, okay? Don't even try it! I know my wife. I know the woman I love. Even if you tell me that you had sex with half of this state, I'll never believe you because you are loyal to me. I know that you'd never cheat on me. Your loyalty is something I'll never doubt, so don't ever try to fool me with that lie.""Do you really trust me that much?" she asked me, tears falling from her eyes.I nodded without wavering, a single tear falling from my eye. "I trust you with my life. I know you, and I trust you. I'll fight for you, even if it's the last thing I have to do while I'm alive. Fight with me all you want. Doubt me, but I don't care. I'll always trust you and love you. I'll always bring you back home happily with me, Princess," I replied confidently. I let her go, fearing I was holding her too tight. She broke down into tears.I couldn't control myself either. I collapsed

ALENA’S EPILOGUE Our black SUV pulled up in Mom's driveway a little late in the afternoon and we all got out of the car. Amelia was snuggled in her daddy's arms, a place I knew was one of her favourites in the whole world and the way he paid enough attention to her and kept her smiling just made their bond stronger.Aidan and Iris were on either of my sides each holding each of my hands tightly as we walked up the driveway to the main entrance. We had all been looking forward to this family gathering for some time now. Spending time together, catching up on each other's lives and just being there for each other was something we all enjoyed. We were a family and meeting up together like this was always a pleasure."Thank you so much, Mommy, for buying me these pretty sparkly shoes and sparkly dress," Iris squealed excitedly, jumping up and down on her feet as we walked, staring admirably at her new outfit. "I feel like a princess," she added, giving me a brilliant smile that revealed

FIVE YEARS LATERDYLAN’S EPILOGUEThey say that you will never truly understand something until it happens to you.I honestly never paid much attention to this saying until realistic things happening in my own life started weighing much on it and opening my eyes to how everything I was once told about this big mystery called life started unfolding before my own eyes and manifesting in my life.Many a time, Dad would tell me about how marriage and fatherhood changed his life greatly for the better and it barely made any meaningful sense to me, but right now in this very moment, bonding with my baby and showering her with unconditional love made it all make perfect sense.There was something inexplicably intoxicating about seeing our precious bundle of joy happy with a radiant smile on her face. That smile had to be the prettiest thing I had ever seen, for it extended deep into my soul and filled me with joy. I couldn't resist smiling back at her with an even brighter smile, placing the

ALENADylan twirled me around, dipping me as he leaned forward closer to me. Staring at the masterpiece of a husband before me, my breathing became shallow and my heart felt heavy in my chest.Dylan pulled me back up into his arms and I rested my head on his chest and let him sway my body as the chorus rolled in. The song twirled like thread around us, the rhythm of our bodies simply passionate and majestic. I was deep in love."Alena, you're the inspiration for this precious song, and I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on. So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone. And I can't wait to get you home, just to let you know, you are...""The love of my life," we whispered together in unison as I joined him in saying some of the lyrics along to the song playing.I was crying. He was way too sweet. I never imagined he'd be able to love me this much and take our relationship to a whole new level.Couples eventually started joining us on the dancefloor. I looked

ALENADylan pulled me towards him gently but firmly by my waist and he placed his lips firmly on mine, cupping my cheek with his hand.His lips were soft, almost silken against my own. Our lips fitted perfectly as if they were meant for each other. Moving against each other, feeling each other.Warmth blossomed in my chest, sparks igniting. This was beautiful and magical, a dream come true. When we pulled away from each other, the crowd was cheering loudly for us, clapping and everything.We both chuckled, holding hands tightly. We turned and faced everyone. Their cheers grew even louder and more enthusiastic.I could see Mom sitting in front with Benjamin, Steve and Celeste. Ezra was in front on the other side with Axel, Sophie and Elizabeth. Everyone else followed behind them. They all looked happy for us.Dylan and I stepped down from the wedding altar and we proceeded down the aisle. Everyone rose and started throwing confetti at us as we walked out. It was perfect.I looked up at

ALENA"Of course, I will. When can we start making the preparations?"Dylan laughed, pinching my nose. "Silly, I mean today. Everything is already set. You just have to get ready and walk down the aisle.""You're kidding right?""I'm dead serious, honey. Everything's the way you wanted it and mostly your choice. I know this isn't our first wedding, but I want us to consider this our actual wedding because the previous wasn't even one. This time around, I'm marrying you willingly with pride."I laughed, failing to believe this. "How? I can't believe this.""Believe it, baby. We're getting married and this time around the proper way. I've been so excited to finally take you as my wife the proper way and give you the joy you deserve. I want to marry you, Alena.""Dylan, how did you even think of this? Just how?" I asked him, blinking away my tears.He wiped away my tears with his hands. "Because I want to see you happy and make your dreams come true. It's called love, honey. You've drown

ALENADylan opened the door of his car on my side and I stepped out, taking his hand which he had extended politely towards me to help me out. I murmured a polite thank you with a smile on my face as he helped out and closed the door once I was standing next to him.We linked arms and he gave me a small peck on my forehead before we started walking down the pathway that led to the dock of a beautiful lake.There were bright heart shaped lanterns hanging on tree branches and rose petals artistically scattered on the pathway we were walking on. Star shaped twinkle lights were wound around branches and lining the pathway. It was breathtakingly beautiful.It was a beautiful sunset and it felt extraordinarily magical with the water in the lake glimmering beneath the beautiful sky, looking calm and inviting.I had no idea if it was the beautiful weather and scene that added the special magical effect or if it was the exceptional man right next to me, holding me like his entire life depended

DYLANI loved it when she played dirty. I loved seeing that side of her that only I knew. I loved this state where she was raw, untamed and fierce sexy."Naughty girl," I chuckled, smacking her butt firmly. She winced, her lips cracking into a wider smile."If I am naughty, what are you?" she purred, pressing her body firmly into mine. She bit her bottom lip tenderly, looking at me with lust filled eyes."Your sexy husband who loves bringing the naughtiness out of you." I smacked Alena's butt one more time, pressing her body into mine at the same time."Ah," she moaned, throwing her head back. She loved it.I took my spoon and scooped some ice cream onto it. I trailed the spoon from her earlobe down to her throat. She shivered, looking at my hand. "Cold," she breathed."I'll set you on fire," I promised and with those words, I smashed my lips onto her neck, earning a loud moan from her.I held her firmly close to me by her butt as I attacked her neck with deep kisses, soft nibbles and

DYLANShe took her wine glass from me and looked up at me, taking a step closer. "Careful what you wish for, Princess. I want to, I can and I will eat you," I said, closing the small gap between us."Is that a promise?" she asked me, running her finger slowly down my torso. I had been working out a lot to get back in shape. All my hard work hadn't gone to waste."It is," I affirmed, brushing my lips against her smooth skin. "And you know I never break my promises."Alena stood on her toes and she pecked my lips. She held both of our glasses, looking deep into my eyes with her bottom lip between her white teeth. I poured the wine and took my glass from her."What are we toasting to?" she asked me."To us. To our lives, love, freedom and everything we ever wanted that we can proudly say we achieved.""Cheers to that," she said, raising her glass."Cheers." We clicked our glasses and washed down the red wine together in one go. We had a second round and we drank the wine in the same mann

DYLAN"No," she mumbled quietly. She was crying."Show me your face. I want to look at you," I spoke softly."Do I have to?" she replied quietly. She sounded cute and in my head, I could see a cute pout on her lips as she said so. That made me smile."Yes. You have to," I murmured, kissing her temples. Alena slowly pulled away from me and she sat up, facing me. She had tears in her eyes and a few had fallen down her cheeks. I wiped them away using my thumbs."And why is my beautiful princess crying when we're supposed to be celebrating?" I asked her, taking both of her warm hands into mine. I planted sweet kisses on both of them and looked up at her. "I don't know," she mumbled, looking at our hands. "Tears of relief if there's anything of that sort I guess.""You don't have to hide your feelings from me, you know. It's okay to cry if you feel like it. We all express joy and relief in different ways.""Does that mean I can bawl my eyes out and you'll still be okay with it?""Hmmm...
