ALENA

As I looked at him pointing the gun determinedly at me, I braced myself for whatever was to come. Surely, I had tried my best to make this end in a better way. I had made some mistakes along the way and had gotten myself into a lot of trouble and danger, but that was me. I had done my part in my own way.

It was as if it started raining even heavier at this moment when my life was supposed to be snatched away from me. Rain pelting on the roof and violent wind blowing became even stronger and my world seemed to have come to a complete halt.

This weather was one where I was usually with my husband, doing the things we loved and expressing our love for each other. I should have known it'd be the same weather accompanying me to my grave.

My only regret at this moment was not being with the one I loved and possibly leaving him all alone. I knew the pain of us being apart, and I didn't want him to experience that. He was the only person on mind at this given point and our memories toge

    ALENAMy tears cascaded down my cheeks at that very moment that I repeated the statement that it was over, over and over again in my head. I couldn't believe it. I simply couldn't believe that after all the shit and hell I had been through, it was finally over.I couldn't move or anything. I was frozen in the moment as my brain tried to process that the pain and suffering was finally over.As I stood there, holding myself together and crying, I heard the sound of cars arriving. I didn't know who it was or what they wanted. I remained still as I let my tears fall. The shock and emotions were just too much.It didn't take a minute for me to start hearing heavy footsteps of probably many people running towards this room approach. I finally opened my eyes, waiting for whoever was coming. I had a feeling it was a sign of victory and the light at the end of my tunnel.Before I knew it, there were quite a number of police officers in their uniforms and agents from some law enforcement agenci

    ALENAMy other bodyguards had been found lying outside in the rain. They had been sedated and two had gunshot wounds, but hopefully, they'd survived.Dad scooped me into his arms and he carried me bodily as we headed towards the car. "Dyl would kill me if I don't treat you like the princess you are plus I care about you so please, let me take good care of you.""Thank you, Dad. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without you. I'm lucky to have you.""We're the lucky ones," he replied with a smile on his face. I smiled back at him and let him carry me out to his black SUV. There were bodyguards holding up umbrellas for us so we didn't get wet.holding up umbrellas for us so we didn't get wet. Once I was seated in the car, I took off my sweaty jacket and wore one Dad had brought me as well as warm socks, a scarf and gloves. It was really cold and it was still raining heavily. I only hoped all the processes would go well."There's food in here and water. You have to eat to gain strength,

    DYLANLove is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses. It heals in deep ways that lie beyond our human understanding.I had that sort of love within me, drowning me completely and filling every fiber of my being. It drove me crazy and yet at it same time, it was the only thing keeping me sane.They say that where there is love, there is life. In my world, where her love existed, I was saved and liberated. Her tender and heartwarming love was what kept me alive. Her prayers, strength and resilience held me together and pushed me with a tender touch of grace and love to open my eyes and overcome the shadow of death.There wasn't a day of me being painfully trapped in my body that I didn't hear her sweet voice, feel her healing touch and smell her delicious scent every time she walked into the room. I wanted to get up and hold her tightly in my arms every single time, to tell her how much I loved and adored her and to fulfil each an

    ALENAAs I watched Dad leave, my heart fluttered in anticipation of the arrival of the queen of my heart. I wasn't going to rehearse any words I'd say to her or sort out my emotions. I just wanted her close to me. To hold her hand and hear her sweet voice. The rest would come later.My eyes remained fixed at the door. She was making me very impatient. I would have walked to her, picked her up and squeezed her into a tight hug if only I could I walk and move so freely. I just had to be a little patient and tolerate the pain. I had to be patient with her.When Alena stepped into the room, many emotions gripped me simultaneously and my heartbeat immediately picked its pace to something ragged. My heart knew that the one who resided in there and owned it had arrived and I wanted nothing more than to embrace her and hold her close to it.Looking at her beautiful face made my entire world come to a complete halt, leaving just the two of us as the only people the whole world revolved around.

    ALENAAlena kissed my hand and she slouched her shoulders, taking a deep sigh. "You know, when I was out there, I wished I could teleport and be next to you in a matter of a second, but well, the magic didn't happen obviously. I still got here though and as I stood out there, I had a major conflict with my own feelings. I told myself that I'd walk in here with the brightest smile I can come up with and give you a big warm welcome without any tears, but as usual, my tears have their own mind and they go ahead and gush out without my permission."Her voice and face gave her away completely. She indeed was the most excited person to see me and she definitely had missed me the most. I could still see love for me in her soft eyes. It was evident even in her body language. I was the luckiest man alive to have been blessed with such an amazing wife."Are you still mad at me for what happened before the accident?" I asked her. She shook her head no immediately."Why would I? I now know everyt

    DYLANWhen I woke up from the coma, injured and in pain, I never thought a day would come when I'd be able to stand on my feet normally again and regain my good health fully.I thought the accident and the coma would bring major changes into my life, but if there were any, they were mainly positive because the time I had spent at the hospital had not only been a healing process, but an opportunity to reflect on my life and allow personal growth.It had taken me nearly six weeks to finally be discharged from the hospital, strong, healthy and ready to start living my life again. It hadn't been something easy. It had taken a lot of faith, commitment and patience plus my friends and family had been there for me. I appreciated all their love, sacrifices and support. I was very lucky to have them.Above all, I had the most precious and priceless jewel of my life right next to me. No matter how broken I was at the moment, there wasn't even a single day that she wasn't by my side or a day that

    DYLANWe arrived home in ten minutes. I hadn't been here in two and a half months since the accident. Just looking at our mansion made me smile and it filled my heart with warmth. I had no idea how much I had missed this place until I arrived there.This was the place where it all began. The love, the cute fights, the sweetest memories, the growth and everything else. This was the place where Alena and I made the most memories and each room had its own memories attached to it. I was happy to be back home.She had managed to maintain this place exceptionally well like usual. She was a very maternal person and she literally knew everything going around the house and she shared a good relationship with all the household staff. She was responsible, hardworking and easy to work with. They liked her.Nothing much had changed apart from new photo frames hung on the walls and beautiful paintings. I had many gifts especially flowers, wine and chocolates from friends and family. I felt loved.I

    DYLANShe was still there in the hallway, taking her time walking. I smirked. She was such a huge tease. I quietly strode down the hallway, walking directly towards her.Every step was a promise to give and receive exquisite pleasure. This was something I had waited for patiently for so long. Now that I had this chance, I wasn't going to take it for granted.The moment I got close enough to her, I grabbed her by her hips, pulling her back firmly into my body and I put the fingers of my right hand on her neck, gently drawing her head backwards onto my shoulder. She squealed in surprise, looking up at me."Mrs. Montero, what games are you playing with me?" I asked her, placing my free hand firmly on her waist. I pulled her back into me roughly, making our bodies collide with a lot of force. She moaned, placing her hand on top of mine. "Do you want me to rip you apart completely?"Alena looked up at me with a seductive smile on her lips. "I love teasing you because I love seeing how much

    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...
