The Broken Diamond 9- pregame
after a great breakfast and plenty of laughs, it was time to get down to business. we needed to get everyone on the same page and get this plan into action. I was tired of sitting around and waiting to be attacked. Jane and I were ducks in an open field, and anyone outside could be the hunters waiting to get us. Alexander's family was more than helpful. they had ties to the Costa family, business partners, you could say. they even knew where Dylan was and how to get to him. "Well, since we know where he is, what's stopping us from getting him?" I asked a little irritated. "we had no idea Dylan was causing trouble like this until you called us," Mrs. Branson explained calmly "Then we need to get the ball rolling," kev said, ready to take charge. "Let's make a plan." "As soon as possible would be lovely," Alexander said, seeming annoyed I placed my hand on his thigh, trying to calm him, but something was off. he didn't acknowledge my gesture and just stared down his brothers
The Broken Diamond 10- tables have turned

The Broken Diamond 11- dragons
I drove straight to the airport. Dylan officially had an hour head start on me. I called ahead and had a private plane waiting on the strip, ready to take off as soon as I boarded. I was off to a tropical paradise of hell. the clue dragons was dylans hint to lure me back to where everything started going south. I was hesitant about going at first, but my daughter was in danger with her father. Dylan was a monster and didn't care who he hurt or what he did to hurt them. Jane was just a baby she was only 5 months old now. he didn't know the first thing about her or how to care for her. the plane landed a few hours later. I got off the plane and headed straight for the boat. the boat was going to be my last journey to my daughter. I was nervous about being on the boat, but again, it was a short ride, and my daughter needed me. I turned my phone back on, and the text and missed calls started pouring in. all my brothers and Alexander were on their way. they had news to tell me when
The Broken Diamond 12- screwed
I woke up in a daze. my head was throbbing, and I couldn't register where I was. the sun is shown bright through the huge window. I looked out onto open waters and saw the dragon statue on top of the lighthouse. I remembered where I was and why in an instant. "Oh shit," I said, trying to hurry out of bed. I tripped and fell face fist to the floor. I was chained to the foot of the bed. the moment it took me to realize that I was trapped, I also realized I was half naked. my sweats were ripped and thrown across the room. I was chained to the bed in nothing but my bra and panties, but these weren't mine. I didn't recognize this set. what had he don't to me? a sharp baby's scream from the next room caught my attention. I knew that scream anywhere. she's hungry, my poor baby is hungry. there's no telling when the last time she ate was or what she was being fed. "JANE JANE BABY MOMMY'S HERE IM HERE BABY!" I screamed, not knowing where she was. "Calm down, Kar," Dylan laughed as he
The Broken Diamond 13- rescue
i woke up in panic again. Jane wasn't in my arms anymore. I sat up looking for her. she was in a crib next to me. Dylan was on the couch at the foot of the bed scrolling through his phone. I breathed a sign of relief. Dylan laughed. "I'm not taking her from you, kar," he said, reassuring me. I just sat there. so many thoughts running through my head. then a loud knock at the door startled us all. Dylan got up to answer the door while rubbed Jane's back to soothe her. "We didn't order room service," Dylan said angerly "Cut the crap Dylan, where is Jane and karina?" I heard kal boom " I haven't seen them." Dylan snapped "Bull sh*t!" Kane yelled."Where's my sister and niece, you heartless monster?" "I'm in the bedroom, you fools," I yelled out. I hurriedly covered my chain with a blanket and peaked out of the room, trying to make eye contact with Dylan. he jerked his head back and looked at me then at the bed. hopefully, he would realize I was just trying to help him get
The Broken Diamond 14-crushed
we ran to find where the noise was coming from. Jane was screaming, and kev was trying to comfort her. I scooped her into my arms and checked her for any injuries. "What happened?" I snapped as I found the red spot on the side of her head. "she fell over." kev giggled. "she was trying to crawl, and she fell over she landed on the pillow, but her half her missed it." "That's not funny!" Alexander said, trying to calm. Jane was still crying. "it's funny because she wasn't crying until kal reacted to her falling," kev said "So she's just pulling our legs Kar chill out." Kal laughed "Oh. are you pulling mommy's leg?" I baby talked Jane. "Are you just playing?" Jane stopped crying instantly and began laughing. she had us all fooled even kev and kal who were in the same room as her. I sat her back on the floor on her tummy. she got up on her little hands and knees and took off. she finally managed to balance herself and took off to Kev. my little girl was crawling. we all hurrie
The Broken Diamond 15- recovery
after a few weeks in the hospital, Kade was released, and we were all allowed to go back home. I was so ready to get out of here and start a new life. I no longer had to run from anyone and could finally be myself again. we landed back in the States, and everyone was excited to be home. after a couple of days back home, Alexander and I decided to move in together. the family home was just too much for Alexander, and we wanted to be able to start our own routines and family life. after dinner with the family and making the announcement, we went back to my family's house and started packing all of mine and Jane's things. we ended up having to get two trucks just to save a trip. my brothers had gone over board when they bought everything for Jane and I when we first moved in. kev kal and Kyle helped us move. Kane stayed back at the family home to look after Kade and Jane so we could get everything done. Alexander's house was a simple 5 bedroom 3 bathroom log cabin set in the middl
The Broken Diamond 16- big changes
I sat in the bed in shock. my body wanted to jump up and down, and my mouth wanted to scream. I sat there staring at Alexander, who was smiling at me, holding the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. it was a simple three karat princess cut diamond with small sapphires embedded around it. "Alexander, I love you," I cried. "OF COURSE. YES, YES, ILL MARRY YOU, " I shouted as he placed the ring on my finger. i jumped into his arms, and he stood up, spinning me around. we kissed passionately and laughed together "I love you more, Karina!" Alexander replied as he kissed me again. we got lost in the moment and began laughing as we stripped each other. Alexander threw me on the bed and kissed me all the way down to my lower stomach. he started thumbing my clit and kissing my thighs. I moaned in pleasure and ran my fingers through his hair as he gently sucked my clit. he placed two fingers inside me, searching for my sweet spot. he found it instantly, and sparks began to fly.

The Broken Diamond 33- loving husband
the ride home was a blur. I was in shock. how could I not know for fourteen weeks that I was pregnant? i couldn't help but think back on everything I had done in the last fourteen weeks. the engagement parties, the wedding, the honeymoon, I didn't get drunk or anything, but I did have a glass of wine or two. Alexander drove us home, and he couldn't stop smiling. every now and then, he'd squeeze my hand. thankfully, he didn't say anything. my husband is amazing and understanding. i hope he knew I was excited too just right now, I was shocked. we got home, and Alexander went to the bedroom to make a phone call. I just sat in the living room and tried to process everything. after about twenty minutes, Alexander came down stairs and scooped me off the couch. "What are you doing?" I asked, giggling. "My mom has Jane for the night," he stated. "You and I are going to process your emotions about this baby together, and you're gonna start by taking a bath." Alexander sat me down in
The Broken Diamond 32- Shocked and excited
I sat in the waiting room, nervous and excited. it felt like hours, but I knew it had only been a few minutes. so many thoughts were running through my head right now. Alexander sat next to me, rubbing my knee and filling out some papers for me. I had filled out most of them, but he knew all the insurance stuff. "Mrs. Karina Branson" I heard a woman call my name we stood up together and walked to the nurse standing in the door to the back. I squeezed Alexander's hand as tightly as I could. "Follow me. we're gonna get some vitals and get an ultrasound before I take you to see the doctor." The woman smiled as she led us back. she was pretty blonde with hair pulled up into a cute, messy bun. her scrub top had hearts and pulse lines. her eyes were beautiful and kind, and I was jealous of her make-up skills and full lashes. the name tag on her badge read 'Eliza'. what a pretty name. "Alrighty then, let's get you to ultrasound." Eliza smiled and led us to dim room with a big screen
The Broken Diamond 31-honey moon
i tossed and turned last night. it was hard for me to sleep for some reason. i wasn't feeling well here lately. we'd been back for our honeymoon family trip for about a month and a half now. i slipped out of bed and headed for the shower. on my vanity laid a pair of leggings, one of Alexander's shirts, my undergarments, and a box with a note. *Take me, you're late* what was he talking about? I wasn't late... I checked the date on my phone. oh, snap. I checked my tracking app. I was a week late. I ripped the box open and hurriedly opened the package. I laid the test on the counter and waited. Alexander came into the bathroom and leaned against the wall. he looked at me and smiled. "Was I right?" he asked "I haven't looked." I sighed."I haven't even showered. "Well, shower, and then we'll look together." Alexander said as he turned on the shower for me. I was too nervous to take a shower, but I did anyway to hopefully calm my nerves. how in the world did this man know? what
The Broken Diamond 30- Vows
I gave the honors of walking me down the aisle to kal. my heart was racing, and my hands were sweaty. my big brother was there to steady me. I wasn't sure how I got to the altar, but all of a sudden, I was standing in front of Alexander. his eyes were filled with tears, and he was smiling at me like a kid in a candy store. you could tell by the look on his face he was fighting the urge to kiss me. all my nerves and anxiety melted away once kal placed my hand in Alexander's. we both had clay hands, but neither of us cared. we stood there staring at one another, smiling from ear to ear as the officiant began. "Who gives this woman to this man?" she asked. "I guess her brothers do," Kal laughed. " Everyone, you man be seated," the officiant cleared her throat. " we are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, the joining of two hearts. in this ceremony, we will witness the joining of Alexander and Karina." everyone was beaming with excitement, joy, and p
The Broken Diamond 29- Flower Power
flowers everywhere, roses, sunflowers, daisies, carnations, tulips, daffodils, orchids, lilies, dahlias, gladoili, iris, mums, and so much more all mixed shades of red and yellow spread all throughout the house and gardens. the property looked like a florist fairy had a party. gold and red tapestry was hung and flowing throughout as well. everything looked like a flower fairy tale. I was a bit nervous it was all too much, but Alexander insisted on going all out. up the bridal suit, the girls and myself were getting ready. everywhere was getting hair and makeup done by a team of artists. we were all laughing and just having a great time. I couldn't hide my nerves for anything. but it was the moment we were all waiting for. my hair was up in a traditional curly bridal updo with a gold tiara jeweled with rubies. my makeup was also red and gold. I stepped out from behind the curtain and revealed my dress. I stood in front of my bridal party as they stared in awe over my white straple
The Broken Diamond 28- finishing touches
the alarm blared in my ear. it was only seven thirty. we had to get up, though. today marked 4 days before the wedding. we had to get last-minute preparations done, pick up tuxes and dresses, and pack for our separation time. Alexander was going to his parents' house for three days and I was going to stay at my family home. we agreed to separate a few days before the wedding. our families wanted us to separate for a week, but we couldn't do that to Jane or ourselves. we'd all three go crazy. "Are you excited?" Alexander asked as he turned off our alarms. "I'm nervous," I whispered as I curled into his arms. "There's nothing to be nervous about, my love," he said, kissing my head. he rolled me on top of him, and I straddled his lap as he leaned against the pillows. I could feel his morning wood through our pajamas. Alexander moved his hips as I grinded against him. we began to kiss passionately when both our phones started ringing, and Jane started calling for us through the
The Broken Diamond 27- ringing in my head
"I can't let you turn into one of us," Alexander's words kept replaying in my head as I lay next to him. it was no secret what my family was or what Alexander's family was. I grew up knowing about my family's business transactions since I was old enough to press the panic button. I was trained to defend myself and my family since I was fifteen years old. I learned to keep log books and lists of everyone since I was sixteen. I grew up to be one of them. why was Alexander trying to protect me from the one thing I was raised to do? was he scared? did he forget that I took care of his operations while he was unable to? did he really think that I was incapable of being a Branson? I was angry with him, but I also admired him. he was making me feel weak, but he was also trying to protect me from further damage of becoming heartless. my brothers and Alexander are not heartless, but the elders in our families were. the women and older men were heartless when it came to enemies and peopl
The Broken Diamond 26- the end of it all
after Janes amazing party, we thanked everyone for coming and all the great gifts. we paid the vendors and cleaned up the backyard. mean while in the house, my brothers cleaned up the mess Nicky made struggling against them. they grabbed her and took her back to the Romano house as planned. after everything was cleaned up and Jane was sound asleep I'd take care of that bitch. I was ready to get rid of that bitch. she endangered my child and my husband out of pure jealousy and psychoness. I may seem like a crazy jealous wife but she messed with the wrong one. after everything was cleaned up, we headed over to the Ramano house. my brothers had left her in the secret safe room. it was just the old wine cellar that we converted into a safe room when we were kids. it was soundproof, had various locks on both the inside and outside, and we made it into a tiny apartment. more like a hideout than a safe room. it was necessary growing up for us. not just from danger from the outside world
The Broken Diamond 25- party time
soon, it was time for the biggest celebration of Jane's little life. HER FIRST BIRTHDAY!! Alexander and I planned a huge party and went all out for our little girl. we invited everyone who was a part of our journey. we even invited Alexander's doctors and therapists since Jane was always at every appointment as well as myself. the entire backyard was decorated in unicorns and rainbows. pastel pinks, purples, greens, and blues were sprinkled everywhere. the tables on the deck were covered in food from end to end. we had everything a kid could ask for. there were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, French fries, corn dogs, hot dogs, chips, fruit and veggies platters, cookies, cup cakes, chocolate and so much more. we even had an adult table with steaks, burgers, and pizzas. we had popcorn stations, cotton candy stations, BBQ pit masters, and, of course, an ice cream truck. Jane's party was more like a festival, and Alexander did most of the planning. we even ha
