"Uh oh. Trinity, hide me. Please," Tyler muttered urgently, ducking behind Trinity as he did so. 

After dropping Casey off at the diner for work, they'd come straight to the boutique (suggested by none other than Tina) where they were supposed to go to for getting Trinity fitted for her engagement gown. They'd only just gotten out of the car at the parking lot when Tyler did that. It was actually pretty funny seeing how he was both taller and broader than her by a lot.

"What's wrong, Tyler?" 

"That woman. The one in red. Let's just say we're not the best of friends right now." 

Trinity couldn't help but laugh. "Hiding away from crazy exes, huh? Why did you do to her?" 

"Nothing!" He answered, offended.

Trinity simply gave him a look.

"I may or may not have slept with her sister the night after I slept wit

    The days leading up to the engagement party were everything Trinity had expected them to be and much more.The sudden interest in her was almost bewildering and she felt as if she'd become a mini celebrity all her own if the way she received mails from people she didn't know or knew and hadn't talked to in ages was anything to go by.Of course, Tina helped her jog her memory as to who the people congratulating her on her fast approaching wedding were so she could reply appropriately but it was all still pretty overwhelming to her. She'd gone from having a steady job to having no job at all to becoming the would be wife to a renowned billionaire in the span of a few weeks. But she'd adjusted well.Over the week, her and Dmitri had fallen into a routine. They'd have breakfast together which was cooked by whoever woke up early, text each other through out the day whenever they got time and then have dinner togeth

    Many dances later, Trinity was almost ready to call it a night when Dmitri's mother dragged the couple off to meet someone important who'd joined the wedding late because she'd only just come back from a business trip.It was Martha Worthington. After her husband's suicide a few years back, she'd taken sole responsibility of their telecom company and handled their business well, not letting it go under even though the company had been under a shit load of debt after her husband's death. The woman had had no clue how to run a business at that time, let alone manage one that was in shambles but she'd done it all. That was one of the main reasons Valéry respected her so much. That and the fact that she was much wiser and older than her, in her late fifties now."Martha, this is Trinity, the girl my son has chosen for himself and Trinity, this Martha, a good friend of mine," Valéry introduced them.

    After the revelations on the night of the engagement party, it felt as if some invisible wall had been broken down between Dmitri and Trinity for they felt that much closer to each other, almost as if they understood each other on a much deeper level than before.It went against the whole I-need-to-distance-myself-from-Dmitri resolve Trinity had thought she would follow ever since the last party they'd attended together. But she hadn't been able to achieve much of it in the week leading up to the engagement and now that her secrets were out in the open, it was near impossible to keep her distance from him. So she gave up trying altogether."I'm gonna have to leave for work after the food tasting, babe. Miranda is going to drop by later to discuss possible venues for the wedding. Do you think you'll be able to handle it?" Dmitri asked as he buttoned up his suit jacket before running a hand through his hair almost absentmindedly.

    Casey groaned, propping her legs up on Trinity's lap and leaning back. "Who new wedding preparations could be so tiresome. Just go off to Vegas and get married already. Dmitri is anyways too eager to have you all to himself if the way he's been texting you constantly is anything to go by."Trinity flushed, her hands which were busy flying over her phone's keyboard pausing at her friends words. Quickly typing up the rest of her text, she sent it to Dmitri before turning to Casey. "Quit being such a whiney little baby. Tina and I have been here just as long as you and you don't see us complaining."Tina groaned from her other side. "I'm beat too. My back feels stiff from sitting in the same position for so long.""What were you say about no complaining, Tri?""Oh, shut it, you two," Trinity shook her head at her two friends.The three of them a

    The big day was approaching fast.The days had flown by in a whirlwind of dress fittings, rehearsals, finalising the decorations, food, guest lists and what not and now, only a day remained. Though both Dmitri and Trinity had been exceedingly busy over seeing everything, they'd always found time to spend with each other, whether it was them having meals together or simply chatting about their day at night."I think having a DJ would be better," Miranda commented, pulling Trinity out of her thoughts.Trinity nodded. "Yeah, a DJ can definitely offer more variety. Book someone. I know it's last minute and we shouldn't have left it until now but over the past few weeks I've realised there's not much a little bit of extra money and an influential name can't get you."Miranda laughed. "You're definitely right about that one."Trinity chuckled lightly before co

    The wedding ceremony was like a dreamscape. The disaster with the dress had been successfully tackled for the ball gown silhouette and the numerous layers of the dress meant that that they could take off the few stained ones on the top without it making much of a difference and that's exactly what Rose, Joy and whatever reinforcements they'd brought in had done.Everything after she'd worn the dress (with the help of at least three people) was a bit of a blur. Trinity remembered being so nervous that her hands kept trembling even as Patricia hooked her arm through Trinity's and lead her down the aisle towards her husband- the only man she had eyes for.Dressed in a grey suit, she could tell he looked more handsome than she'd ever seen him before even if her vision was slightly obscured because of her thin veil.She could faintly recall repeating their vows after the priest and exchanging wedding bands when they were aske

    Even though there was more than enough space in the limo, Dmitri placed his wife on his lap.Wife. We're actually married.The thought made him grin and he didn't care one bit if he looked like complete lunatic while doing so.Too tired to do much, Trinity didn't protest or tried to wriggle her way to her own seat, choosing to snuggle deeper into his chest instead."We've really done it, haven't we?" Dmitri murmured softly, his chest vibrating with each word.Trinity nodded against his chest. "We have, husband.""Milaya?""Yeah?""Did I tell you how beautiful you looked tonight?"Trinity chuckled lightly. "Only about a dozen or so times.""Good. And even though we said our vows earlier, I have one of my own. I promise you that I'll never let anything

    The next day, the newly weds had breakfast together, only the mood was much more subdued than it usually was.It wasn't as if they weren't talking to each other, but things just seemed different. And that was somehow worse.Trinity tried to tell herself that this was how it should be. That this was better, but her heart still hurt. There was an awkwardness in their actions that had never been there before, not even when they'd been practically strangers to each other and Trinity hated it.Dmitri cleared his throat. "So, we're leaving for our honeymoon today, around eleven."Trinity's eyebrows raised. "We are?"Even though they'd gotten married, the fact that they'd eventually go on a honeymoon had never really crossed her mind, mostly because theirs wasn't exactly a traditional marriage.Dmitri nodded. "We are. It'd be su

    9 years later..."Nico! Come on, dinner is ready," Trinity called out to her son as she set the table.Dmitri had returned home in time for dinner as usual and was helping his wife set the table as they waited for their oldest child to join them so they could start dinner.When there was no response, Trinity turned to Nico's twin. "Nadia, go get your brother."Nadia, ever the obedient bright little girl, rushed off to do as her mother had asked of her."Mum, I'm hungry, can I eat now?" Maxim, their five year old asked, his lips pulled into an adorable little pout."In a minute, Max. Your brother will be here in a minute and then we'll all eat together. And what did I tell you about a family that eats together?""A family that eats together, stays together!" Max suddenly grinned, seemingly proud of himself for remembering what his mother

    It was the third day when the police came to take Trinity's statement.She told them everything that had happened truthfully while Dmitri sat there right next to her, all the while holding her hand to show his support. She squeezed his fingers once she was done and the policemen left, promising to put the culprits behind the bars as soon as possible."Are you okay?" Dmitri asked her, pushing a strand of her hair away from her face as he rubbed soothing circles on the palm of her hand."I'm fine," Trinity whispered back. "I'm glad that that statement is out of the way. I hope they can catch those kidnappers soon.""They will, milaya. I'll make sure of it," Dmitri vowed, his expression grim."I just want this all to be over already," Trinity admitted softly.Dmitri stared down at her, his expression softening almost instantly. "Me

    Screams echoed all around him but Dmitri couldn't decipher one voice from another, nor did he care to, as he jumped at Samantha on instinct so she couldn't fire the weapon anymore.She screamed as she fell and Dmitri wasted no time in snatching the gun from her and throwing it away.It took him a moment to realise that he'd jumped on top of a pregnant woman but the guilt vanished as quickly as it had come when he heard his wife's pained groan.He then quickly got up before running towards a bleeding Trinity, pressing his hands to the wound on her side to stop the bleeding. With his other hand he pulled out his phone and called 911."Hang on, tight, Milaya. I'll get you out of here," Dmitri said to her once he was done calling for the ambulance.The two kidnappers Samantha's had hired tried to make a run for it especially now that Samantha lay on the floor, sobbing hysterically with blood pooli

    "You wanna go first, or should I?" The tattooed guy smirked at his companion, nodding his head at Trinity.His companion laughed, the scar running down the side of his face contracting, making him look almost maniacal. He probably was too if the way he stepped towards Trinity with an evil glint in his eyes was anything to go by.Tyler struggled harder against his reigns. "Don't you fucking dare touch her! I'll skin you alive if you touch a hair on her head!"Their kidnappers simply laughed at his useless attempts and baseless threats. Trinity, though, was oddly calm.She was waiting for either of them to open her bounds so she could grab the opportunity and try to get away from them. She planned on running upstairs and threatening Samantha so their kidnappers would let Tyler go. And then she'd call the police to come rescue them.It wasn't ex

    Even though Trinity had expected the answer, she was still shocked."How? When?" She couldn't help but ask, thoroughly confused.Samantha chuckled. "That day at the club opening. I'd planned to drug you all and have my way with Dmitri. Unfortunately, I got too drunk along with you guys and it wasn't until I woke up that I realized it was Tyler I'd dragged into bed with me and not Dmitri. And it was his child I'd be carrying," her lips pulled into a thin line at the admission before pulling up into an all too evil smirk. "But nothing was going to stop me from getting what I wanted. So I decided to improvise. Pretended the child was Dmitri's and you fell for it right away."Trinity looked at her as if seeing her for the first time. And she was. She was finally seeing her for the two faced, conniving bitch that she was."Everything was going according to plan for you until I stepped

    A piercing pain at the back of her head was the first thing Trinity registered as she came to, a groan leaving her lips almost involuntarily."Trinity? Trinity? Are you awake?" Came an urgent, frantic voice from somewhere close to her. In the back of her mind, Trinity knew who the voice belonged to, but in her half awake state, she couldn't quite put a finger on it.When Trinity didn't reply, the voice tried again, more urgent this time. "Trinity?! Are you alright? Wake up, please! Open your eyes! Talk to me!"Open my eyes? Trinity thought to herself. Opening her eyes seemed like the most difficult task she'd done in a while for her eyes felt heavier than lead, as if someone had glued them shut. She almost didn't want to try, but something at the back of her mind told her to listen to the urgent, nagging voice. So she did.She tried with all her might to peel her eyes open. She le

    Trinity had been distracted with her jumbled up thoughts all the way back to their apartment.Casey, however, thought that Trinity looked so put out because of what she'd said to her in the parking lot. Which made her feel immensely guilty.So in an attempt to make things right, Casey began, "Tri? I was very rude and insensitive back there at the parking lot and-"Trinity cut her best friend off with a shake of her head, lightly patting Casey's injured leg which was lying in her lap as if telling her that it was okay. And it was. "No, Case. You were right about everything. And I needed to hear that. And I was thinking about what you said too. I think I should at least talk to Dmitri about it once," Trinity confessed."Really?!" Nigel, having obviously been listening in to their conversation exclaimed from the front seat, his lips pulling into a wide grin."Ah, fucking fi

    Trinity wrapped an arm around Casey's back to support her as she pulled her best friend out of the car in the hospital's parking lot. Once Nigel had rounded the car and was standing next to Casey, supporting her, Trinity let go so she could lock the car."Ugh, stop mollycoddling me, you two. I can walk just fine on my own," Casey huffed, rolling her eyes.It was a few days after when Tyler had come to their apartment that Casey was due for a visit to the doctor to have a look at her still-in-a-cast leg. So here they were, in the hospital's parking lot, ready to go in."I hate to break it to you Case, but you can't. You can hardly put any weight on your leg, let alone walk," Nigel muttered, looking thoroughly amused as Casey huffed again, trying to balance her weight on her good leg.Suddenly, Casey pulled her shoulders back, looking awfully determined. And then she went ahead and put her weight on h

    "Whoa, easy there," Dmitri muttered, holding onto the person he'd just crashed into on his way out of the office to his car."Oh, uh, hey," Samantha murmured, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear almost shyly as she stepped back, her hand going to her slightly rounded stomach almost reflexively."Samantha?" Dmitri looked down at her, stepping back completely.Samantha gave him a small smile as she looked up at him, taking in his unshaven face and the bags under his eyes. Clearly, the split up hadn't been good for him."Yeah," Samantha muttered, nodding a little."Wow. You're pregnant," Dmitri observed. "Congratulations on that." He continued, trying to make conversation. He'd been so busy drowning himself in work ever since Trinity left that he'd hardly talked to anyone if it wasn't work related. So making conversation for the first time in so
