"It's nice to see you always running to the rescue of your fiance... But we can't have you going in there ruining our plans yet," Miller said with a smile as he looked at his agents and nodded.

"Make sure they won't run away," he ordered.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Keith protested as they surrounded him.

"You were in on this all along..." Dean said gritting his teeth as he struggled against the agents that were holding his hands back.

How had he not seen this?

"Wait a minute, What are you talking about?" Miller asked looking at him with a frown.

"You're acting like nothing is wrong, then why are you standing at the door of our apartment building stopping me from getting inside? Is the agency now supporting Mark, or were you on his side all along and we were the idiots believing you?" Dean asked feeling helplessly frustrated as he pushed back against the men holding him only to be overpowered again.

"Wait a minute, I think there is a misunderstanding here..." Miller trailed off and Dea

    Three weeks later, "So, how was your last check-up with the doctor?" Nadia asked as she sat at the bedside of the huge man before her.The man chucked and gave her a wry look as if asking her if she was really asking him this question."I should be the one asking you this question, Miss. You're the one who got admitted recently," he said with a smile."Oh, come on, Blake! Mine was just a flesh wound and too much drama.

    Nadia woke up with a start breathing heavily as sweat dampened her temple. Feeling someone shift beside her, she shivered at the whisk of air passing through her damp skin as Dean sat up in bed beside her.“Hey…” he whispered and Nadia sighed covering her face with her palms.“I’m so tired of this…” she said hotly as she tried to suppress the frustration tears that threatened to fall down her cheeks.She felt a blanket being thrown on her shoulders before Dean’s big and warm hands stroked her back slowly soothing away the nerves that had been keeping her body tense.“Come on, lay down…” he said in a soft tone and Nadia followed his command laying against him as he circled his arms around her.His fingers combed through her hair slowly massaging her skull.

    “I think it’s time for you to accept Anna as your wife as we agreed, son,” Mr. Wess said as he looked at his son. Nadia was busy scrolling through her tablet looking into her boss’s schedule while his conversation with his parents ended. They were going to be late for their next appointment at this rate. “I can’t marry Anna, Father,” Dean Wess answered his voice calm and booming through the room. “Why? You promised that you would marry her by the time you’re thirty. You can’t keep going on like this, son,” Mrs. Wess said softly as she reached out to touch her husband’s hand. Nadia didn’t bother to lift her head to look at her boss. She knew what kind of expression he must be making. And from the way he kept tapping his finger on his leg, she was pretty sure that his annoyance was reaching its max levels. “I can’t marry Anna, Mom,” His voice came out soft, he was always weak to his mother’s pleas. “I already have someone I want to be with,” He added. Lies… If she hadn’t persona

    “I can’t believe this is happening!” Nadia mumbled as she paced along the office her heels clicking on the floor adding up to her annoyance. What in the world was she going to do?! How was she going to solve this situation? “I’ve never been this embarrassed in my life…” She added her distress growing as she diligently paced almost wearing a hole into it. “Calm down! It’s not that much of a big deal!” Said Dean, her freaking boss, as he leaned back in his seat. Nadia paused for a moment and looked at him. No… She glared at him as he sat back in his seat pretty relaxed for someone who just dropped a bomb on her lap. His blue eyes were shining with amusement as he looked at her with a mesmerizing gaze, and his tousled black hair softly fell on his forehead adding to his boyish charm. Nadia tried to look away and not notice how his shirt stretched against his arms and how the half-buttoned front seemed to be strained against his broad chest begging to be released. But it was almost im

    Nadia looked up at Dean her heart beating so fast in anticipation that she wondered if he was able to read it. His blue gaze so intense as he looked down at her drew her in ever so slowly as she gave away reason just to plunge into this moment. His eyes were so clear and mesmerizing, that they were reflecting the sunlight coming through the window into them. They looked beautiful and a bit familiar. Just like… Nadia felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her head as she looked away from him. What in the world was she doing? Has she gone crazy?! “Uhm… I will be seeing you tomorrow then…” She trailed off as she stepped away from him to open the door. Dean sighed and rubbed the side of his face in something akin to frustration. He must be wondering what came over him for a moment. Nadia didn’t want to look at him as she collected what was left of her composure. “I would like you to cancel my plans for this weekend and any plans after this in the future,” Dean stated i

    Nadia’s mind swirled at the sight of the three people she resented the most in the world as they laughed and smiled together after they destroyed everything in her life and threw her on the street. A merging?! An Engagement?! She will see to it so that none of that ever happens. She will see to it so that they burn to ashes along with everything they took away from her. “Mommy! Are you okay?! Does your tummy hurt? Should I rub it for you?” Nadia’s dry heaving stopped, and she sat down on the kitchen floor taking a deep breath when her five years old’s voice reached her ears. The thought of Luke seeing her in this state startled her and she turned around looking at him. He was sitting beside her on the floor his wide and filled with worry. What was she doing making her son worry about her like this? Seriously… “I’m okay, honey. I was just having a hard time digesting the food that’s all,” she told him as she ruffled his hair and he nodded snuggling into her and rubbing her stomach

    Dean’s phone rang and he groaned, turning to the other side hiding his head under the covers trying hard to ignore the persistent sound. His door burst open, and he heard footsteps thudding through the floor until they reached his bedside table, then the alarms stopped ringing. Dean sighed and snuggled deeper into his bed wishing for sleep to reclaim him. “Don’t even think about going back to sleep” said his friend in a voice that was clearly not pleased. Dean didn’t respond. Hopefully, Keith would be leaving soon and letting him catch a few more minutes of sleep. Dean’s covers were suddenly pulled away inevitably depriving him of any ounce of sleep he was trying to reclaim. Glaring at Keith, he found him looking back at him with murder in his eyes. “What the hell is wrong with you so early in the morning?” He asked and Keith threw the covers on the bed. “Me?! What’s wrong with YOU! Your alarm had been ringing like a freaking fire alarm! And here I thought I would get some peace

    "Dad, call the bodyguards and make sure to keep an eye on Luke!" Dean told his father as he made his way to the front of the house where he parked his car."What's going on?" He asked following him."Mark managed to escape from the police. The first place he would be heading to is where Nadia is. I need to head there right now," Dean explained and his father nodded."Okay, be careful. I will call the police to make their way there too." His father said as he closed Dean's car door after he got in.Dean nodded and started his car starting to back up when the passenger door opened and Keith jumped inside."Think that I would let you go alone this time too?" He asked with a smirk."It's gonna be dangerous," Dean warned."The more reason I need to go with you," Keith insisted, "What are you waiting for?"Dean sighed and backed away from the spot making his way toward the penthouse. He sped through the street his car eating up the road between them. He had never regretted the distance bet

    Nadia opened her eyes as she felt someone lean against the bed beside her. Looking up, she found Dean smiling down at her the sunlight streaming through the window making him look as if there was a halo around his head.Groaning, she shidted to her back readying herself to cover her face with the blanket only for him to stop her with both arms."You need to wake up," He said softly."Said the guy who wore me out last night," She retorted with a sigh, "You're way too bright for me to look at, go away,"He chuckled finding her statement funny, even though she wasn't joking."It's already noon, you're going to sleep all day at this rate," He informed her but she simply shook her head stubbornly."I can't move... My muscles are sore," She complained.Dean smiled and leaned down against her pressing a kiss against her neck, right where he left a mark last night."Realy? Even though I went easy on you last night. I was having such a hard time holding back while you called out my name, in mo

    "Oh, it's finally here..." Nadia remarked as she walked past Dean at the kitchen counter. He nodded absently as he stared at the test making Nadia wonder for a moment if there was something wrong with it. Leaning over his shoulder, she could see the positive green letters standing out like neon lights in the darkness."It's positive," She stated."Yeah..." He said with a satisfied smile kissing the palm of her hand as he resumed staring at the paper. Nadia smiled shaking her head at the man, he was just way too cute. Ruffling his hair, she resumed walking toward Luke's room to see if he was ready."He should be here anytime now," She informed Dean who nodded again not moving from his spot.Nadia found Luke in a similar state to his father bent over his toy his shoes and socks only half worn."Luke! You're supposed to wear your socks. Our guests will be here any moment," She said with a smile."Who's our guest?" Luke asked as he finished wearing his socks."It's my father..." Nadia s

    "You..." Dean took an exasperated breath letting it out slowly..Nadia sat on the couch uncomfortable as she looked away from him. She was readying herself for another scolding when she felt a hand on her head softly patting it. Dean was looking at her with a gentle smile."If this is going to give you some peace of mind then by all means, let them meet. But I don't want you to do it at the expense of your feelings," Dean reassured her."I want Luke to meet him and know that he has a grandfather... But I can't bring myself to trust him. I don't believe that someone can change like that overnight..." She explained.Dean leaned back and she leaned against him snuggling into his arms."I always thought that it was strange that your father seemed to always think that he was the victim. It was as if he felt like he was betrayed by you but in fact it was Kate who was lying to him about you all the time. Perhaps he was never that bad of a person in the first place..." Dean said, then he corr

    Standing before the hole in the ground, Nadia was filled with so many thoughts and feelings. One of them was that she was probably a hypocrite standing there wearing black and listening intently to the prayers of a man who knew nothing.Another thought is that... Well... It was sunny. Nadia always had this conception that it never was sunny on funerals, it was always raining or gloomily grey. But no, it wasn't, it was sunny, and flowers were blooming around while butterflies were mating. Burds chirping and most of all... it was warm and pleasant.To sum it up, it was the weather that destroyed her conception of funerals...Nadia watched silently as they started lowering the coffin to the ground. The coffin was made from dark wood. One Kate would have hated. And decorated with white spider lilies. Kate hated white. She always said it wasn't a color. Although she would conveniently wear it whenever she felt like the situation would require from her to add a flare of innocence. Mainly w
