Natalie blinked back the unshed tears as she saw the empty coffin being lowered to the ground to be cemented.
She hadn't been able to find a body to bury and no one had been in a sane position to gather her ashes. But at least now, she would finally get a headstone where they could come keep flowers daily.
She couldn't believe Lexi was finally gone but seeing the priest reading a lot of things from his Bible, making prayers and offerings, and seeing the solemn faces of everyone, she was convinced that Lexi wasn't coming back.
Dante squeezed her hands as she walked up to the graveside. She imagined Lexi walking up to her and smiling telling her she's done a great job at snagging the hottest bachelor in town.
This caused a smile to blossom on her face. She may have lost Lexi but her memory still lived around her. She wiped off the stray tears that trickled down her cheeks and smiled as they

Xavier headed back to his car ready to drive out when he remembered he had nowhere else to go and he was not going to plead with Jared and Sophie, not after what they did to him in prison and not after mocking him.Suddenly, he remembered the offer he had received and the person that can help him. He started his car and drove off to the house stopping in the driveway.He headed towards the porch and after knocking twice, the door was pulled open by a very drowsy Sean."Xavier, what are you doing here?" He asked rubbing his eyes."I'm sorry to come at you like this but I needed a place to crash for the night," Xavier replied.Sean eyed him curiously. "Did Faustino put you up to this?""Why would you even think that?""Because I don't trust anyone but myself," Sean replied with a shrug."Dude, just let me in. I'm freezing," Xavier cried."Uh, you were staying with my daughter in her fabulous mansion so why are you even here?"

"Mommy!""I can't believe these two slept together!""What were we all doing that we didn't stop them?""Do you want to know the answer to that question, my love?""Shut up, Ricco!"Natalie moaned and tossed around on the bed as she ran a hand across Dante's naked chest."Go away," she mumbled snuggling into Dante."Oh, she's up.""You all are making loud noises!" Natalie cried rubbing her sleepy eyes and sitting up on the bed."Can't a man and his woman have some privacy again?" Dante mumbled his hands slipping under Natalie's naked body that was covered by the blanket."Privacy can come later!" Trish exclaimed."You both are getting married in less than six hours from now!" Chloe added."We know," Dante and Natalie waved them off."You know?" Lisa asked startled."Yeah, this is just probably 6 am and you guys are here freaking out for nothing," Natalie chuckled."Yeah, relax. We've got a lot

Lights.The lightning was amazing, Dante thought as he stepped into the church and was blinded by the dizzying beautiful colors of lights."This is amazing, who did the decor?" He asked his best man, Dario."I have no clue, Celia organized a lot of things with the women," Dario replied."This is why I should have just let them handle everything and focused on making sure everything is safe," Dante said.Dario rolled his eyes. "Shut up and walk."The church choristers had outdone themselves as they sang with angelic voices up to heaven. Dante looked around the pew and saw the number crowd that was filled to the brim in the church.His eye caught Sofie and Jared and she blew him a kiss. He looked away with a disgusted expression."Who invited those people?" He asked."Natalie thought It was nice and wise to invite everyone at least anyone who isn't at the wedding or reception becomes a suspect," Dario replied."Hmm, nice thin

The moment Sean hadn't seen Natalie after the first announcement was when he knew something was wrong and that was when he shared eye contact with Faustino.He had left the wedding venue immediately after the woman had shown herself to the audience and she was dead, shot from behind.He located Jared and Sophie leaving immediately, he was able to intercept them."Congratulations on ruining your daughter's wedding," Jared grinned."I didn't ruin it and you know it!" Sean snapped."Oh I know," Jared smirked, "But I was thinking it was gonna be you and not Xavier. Guess I was wrong.""Who did he take her to?" Sean asked."How did you know he took her to someone?" Jared asked with a wink."Because I know Xavier and he doesn't operate alone," Sean scoffed."That's nice but we have to be on our way. I don't want to deal with the press today," Jared replied."Me neither," Sophie scoffed."Tell me where Xavier took her to, wh

Sean drove into his driveway anger coursing through his veins as he stepped out of his car and headed towards his house.He was freezing again as the snow had begun their shower in full and he was getting chilly outside.The anger he felt made no motion to dilute the cold, he just stepped into his house and turned the TV on where they were giving breaking news.Turns out, Dante had gotten the press to place a reward on anyone with any valuable information on Natalie a reward of ten billion dollars.Dante knew that money wasn't even up to one-quarter of Rodrigo's fortune so he wasn't worried about them paying.His primary concern was that he was now being seen as a suspect in the kidnapping of his daughter and they were publicly humiliated and slandering him and his company.He was a marriage counselor for crying out loud not a kidnapped!He had given Xavier advice last night but not to go out and harm Natalie but to know that without Dante a

Natalie gasped when her door was thrown open and her father was thrown on the bed, he was unconscious.Xavier smirked at her. "He came looking for you so we had to reunite you with him."She didn't have time for a comeback before he slammed the door shut leaving her in the room with her unconscious asshole father.She searched his pocket for anything that might help her get away from this place but she found nothing. Giving up on her search, she took a bucket of water and emptied it on him.Gasping for breath, Sean stumbled to his feet."Not cool, Xavier," he mumbled."Get yourself together, you passing out won't make it easier for me to escape," Natalie snapped.His eyes widened when he saw her and he ran towards her, Natalie ducked out of the way just in time to have him falling on his butt."Don't get water over the bed and on me!" She snapped."I risked my fucking life to come here only to get cold shoulders from you?" Sean a

"Find that son of a bitch!"Natalie took a step back as the security men rounded up and left the house. The scarred man took one look at her and snorted in annoyance."Xavier, keep an eye on her!""Yes, sir."Natalie scoffed when the man left the house too and turned towards Xavier."What is your problem with me?" She asked bitterly, "Why do you always put me in danger and come back to ask for my help?""Well, save your breath princess. This time I won't be asking you for help," Xavier smirked."Why do you hate me so much?" She cried.Xavier chuckled. "Don't take it personally, princess. I don't have a problem with you it's Dante I have a problem with. He's kicked me to the curb a lot of times it's becoming annoying.""Well, I have nothing to do with this," Natalie snapped."That's the point, baby girl. You're Dante's most prized possession so I'm just getting back at Dante."Natalie raised a brow at him. "So, this is

"If I knew that getting shot will get you to call me dad again, I would have gotten shot multiple times.""Shut up!" Natalie cried as she pulled him under the covering of a large tree then she proceeded to divert their attention and cover their bloody tracks.She went back to him crying as he trembled and coughed up a little blood."I'm so sorry, dad.""No-nonsense, Natalie," he waved a feeble hand in the air, "None of this is your fault.""How did you escape from that room?" Natalie asked suddenly."I was left alone so I scaled the window.""Save your strength now, I'm sure Dante will be on his way to us now.""Natalie, I've got to tell you something. I don't know if I'll still see you.""You will survive, dad.""I know. I'm just saying you might be with your husband and I won't see you before I take a flight and leave for my cabin.""Oh.""Yes. I'm sorry about what happened to your mom and you guys

"Dante?"Her husband stared at her with a confused expression."Na—ruff!"The next thing that followed was utter chaos as she stood mortified.Natalie blinked. Maybe if she closed her eyes and opened it, the horrible scene would disappear but the shrill voices reminded her that it was real."He is crazy!” someone exclaimed."Call the asylum!" Another added.Natalie watched as her husband tore at people's trousers and skirts barking like a dog.Like an actual dog! A real dog!She looked around mortified as she tried to stop them from racing out of the house screaming their lungs out.

“Doctor, what is wrong with my husband?” Natalie stared at Dante as he lay down peacefully on the hospital bed, a small smile playing on his lips. She caressed his hair and kissed his cheeks softly. “He’ll be asleep for a while, Ma’am,” the doctor answered. “Did you find out what's wrong?” Natalie asked. The doctor nodded and she heaved a sigh of relief. She had worried that everything wouldn't go according to her plans and she would have to start afresh after ruining Dante’s image. “This is the document of Dante’s hospital reports,” the doctor said, handing her some papers. Natalie went through it and a smile formed on her lips. “Thank you so much, Doctor,” Natalie smiled. The doctor nodded, “You’re welcome, Ma’am. I wish you success.”Natalie nodded as the doctor left. A few minutes later Lee stepped into the hospital room, panting. “Reporters... Outside... Wolves!” he panted. Natalie shrugged, “Calm down, Lee. Did you get it?”Lee handed her a box and nodded, “Everything i

Natalie stared at Dante as she saw the speech he had written and she chuckled."What's funny?" Dante asked with a frown."You are writing a speech like you aren't a businessman again," she chortled.Dante's frown deepened. "What is wrong with that?"Natalie smiled. "I just don't think it would be necessary for that. You can do that without the speech."Dante furrowed his brows at her. "It's an impromptu speech, Natalie. I need to be prepared."Natalie noticed the way his muscles were tensed and she sighed. She knew he was nervous but she didn't know what was going on in his mind.She stood up and touched his biceps. He smiled at her touch and she smiled. "Why are you so tensed?" She asked.He shrugged. "What do you mean? I'm not tensed."Natalie smirked. "You are, Dante."Dante sighed and took a seat beside her on the bed. He massaged his throbbing temples and sighed again."Out with it!" Natalie exclaimed."I'm scared, Nat," he whispered.Natalie froze at the tone of his voice. Her p

She tried connecting the dots but at each point, she came up blank. Nothing made any sense whatsoever and Sophie had agreed to accompany Dante. It was only out of jealousy that she had decided to go with Dante. Could it be that this whole thing had been a trap to ruin her trust with Dante? What more can break a relationship except when they've lost trust in each other? First, she was made to lose faith in Dante by finding out about his affair with Sophie which wasn't so much of a big deal if she had just sat down to think about it. She massaged her temples as she felt the headache beginning to form. She needed to stay focused because that was what Sophie was trying to disrupt. For some reason, she knew that her coming here would do no good for either her or Dante. How could she have let this slip by so quickly? She picked up her pen and went to the board, there was a time when she had defeated Jared and Sophie, now was the same time to do just that. She examined the things that

Dante stepped out of the police van as he followed them to the cell where he would stay. "You will have to cool off here for the night, sir. Someone called us and suggested you spend the night here before you strangle your wife out of anger." Dante ignored the policeman as he thought about what Natalie had done. He knew he shouldn't be upset after what happened with Sophie but he was. In this frame of mind, he was willing to kill someone preferably Dario for touching her. And he has said he tasted his fucking wife! Those words alone had set his blood boiling with anger. He waited as the inspector opened the door and he entered his cell. His mind was reeling with lots of thoughts as he thought about what to do with Natalie. He didn't know if he should believe her when she said nothing happened. But the pictures... They were just too damn intimate for his liking and he wanted to strangle Dario for touching her the way only he could. How could she be so heartless and betray him li

He jerked away from her touch. "You've already embarrassed me before the media I don't care!""What nonsense are you talking about?" Dario asked."I'm talking about this!" Dante yelled shoving his phone in their face.Natalie gasped when she saw the pictures on his phone. It was when Dario had kissed her and when he had slipped her dress off her shoulder."Dante, this isn't what it looks like," she cried.He glared at her. "Yeah, then what does it look like?"Dario ran a hand through his hair. "Would you believe me if I say that I have no idea of how this came about?"Dante glared at him. "Try lying to someone else!""I swear Dante. The last thing I remembered was blacking out on the grass in the cliff before this whole kissing scenario after that blacking out everything is a blur," Dario stated."Are you trying to tell me that my wife is the one..."Dario interrupted him sharply. "Natalie would never do such a thing. I don't know what happened but it's not what you're thinking."Natal

His eyes narrowed into slits when he saw that she was still cuddled up with Dario while the media took pictures.How could she be asleep in this noisy environment?!Maybe because she had been so busy with something else, a malicious voice said in his mind.He noticed Natalie stirring and he glared at them trying to control his temper. "Get away from here!" He yelled at the media."She's waking and him too!"The media yelled ignoring him. He whirled around to see Natalie stretch and wake up before she froze at the flash of cameras.He saw the wild and confused look in her eyes and then she shook Dario awake. He saw how confused Dante looked and for some weird reason, he didn't believe a thing of what he had seen.Suddenly, the flashes of her naked body with Dario flashed in his mind and he gritted his teeth in anger."Mrs. Rodrio, are you trying to get back at your husband by cheating on him with his best friend?" One of the reporters asked.Natalie's eyes widened as he saw her grip Da

She froze. "Sorry for what, Dario?""Maybe if I hadn't encouraged you that day to go after him, If I had just slept with you that day then we would have ended up together," he murmured.Natalie frowned. "What are you talking about, Dario? Why are you bringing up the past?"He was looking at her but she was so sure he wasn't seeing her. She was sure he was in a reverie, probably transported back to ten years ago when she had gone to seduce him in his room."Dario?""If you had married me instead you won't be going through this pain. And I'm rich also just like Dante. Why did I ever push you away," he continued talking like he wasn't seeing her."Dario, what is wrong with you?" She asked sitting up.He ignored her and continued talking. "Perhaps, I can redeem that situation by making you mine. It's not too late."Her eyes widened. "The fuck are you talking about? It's fucking lat..."Her eyes were huge as she felt his soft lips on hers and his hands roaming around her body.She tried to

They stepped into the board meeting where the entire board of directors was waiting and the news playing on the television was the same news from earlier."Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Rodrigo," the assistant board chairman smiled at them.Natalie nodded as they hurriedly turned off the television.Quickly, they took their seats and she sat down beside her husband."The shares are falling drastically, Mr. Rodrigo!" one of the board members exclaimed."I think this video of you and your wife has gone viral!" Another added."Oh my gosh! This is a scandal associated with this company," someone chirped in."You need to address this matter as soon as possible, Mr. Rodrigo," someone added.Soon everyone was talking and he couldn't hear anyone again. He tried to calm them down but they were in full panic mode.Natalie wiggled out of his arms as she headed for the door."Where are you going, love?" He asked surprised.She shook her head. "I have to leave this place. I can't stay here any longer.""B
