2020-12-23 06:09:19Keith Salvatore's POV.
I've lost her.
I've lost the love of my life.
How could this happen, how could I lose the one meant for me?
It was not so long ago that things were just fine, things beginning for us. I had plans, I wanted a start over so I could do right by her.
I wasted time that's for sure and now here I am emotionless, I haven't talked to anyone, haven't left my room ever since that night.
My heart clenches thinking about that night, her life giving way in my arms, her hand resting on my chest, telling me that she loved me.
I could never get tired of hearing those three words come from her, her eyes, her voice, her heart reached out to me. Whenever she said those words, I felt it, I heard and felt the truth in them. A woman of truth, honesty, innocent to the core and had a heart of gold.
She waited, she bloody waited

Akiandra's POV.The last I remember is of pain, my life flashing before my eyes and him. Oh God, I said goodbye to him, believing that night was our last. My Keith, he must be so worried, so broken, as I am away from him. Days have passed I believe, since they took me. Every piece of the puzzle was pieced together, the moment she walked into the dungeon I've been held in.Nothing seemed to make sense whilst all I was surrounded by, was darkness. Then she walked in, with a determined, crazed look on her face. She had intention to cause me pain, anger seeped out of her and it was directed towards me.I couldn't understand as to why she'd do this if Keith meant so much to her. Didn't she care about him? I had asked but her obsession with hurting me, seemed greater then the love she claimed to have for him.I had no strength to do much because I was still in a bit of p

I've been in and out of consciousness for some time now, I don't know for how long, whether minutes or hours, I don't know.The cold has made me numb, my body feels stuck and I can't move. I've even reached the level of not shivering anymore but staying still. My heart pumping is the only thing telling me that I'm still alive, it's a hard and painful task to breathe, my nose has gone dry and as seconds go on by, it feels worse.I can't think straight and I believe I've reached the level of hallucination, when I think I hear another banging sound. Maybe I've gone crazy now, wanting to believe so much in anyone finding me.The banging sound continues and that's when a tear slips out, because my beating heart tells me, no let me rephrase that, my every frozen being tells me that I've been found.I want to scream and call out, but I can't. It's so frustrating and my closed eyes, feel heavy with threatening tears.

The doctor had left us speechless, he left us with a bombshell and neither one of us have spoken, rather take in the information given and be in thought, whilst in silence.Keith now stood at a distance right where the doctor had stood and I, well I'm still seated on the bed. I'm grateful for Keith suggesting I be treated and recover at home, I don't like the hospital, more so I don't trust any medical person at the moment, after what happened.Elena had disguised herself as a nurse and she and her accomplices, took me right under everyone's noses, pretending to be moving rooms.She had a well thought out plan, all with a goal to finally end my life. She hated me, she truly hates me and I, well I cant do anything about that.This spare room used as my recovering room, just gives me the feel of home and makes me more comfortable.I just wish I was relaxed and less tense, having to think about th

I've been all smiles for the past few days, right after that day when Keith said we should get married, we have been doing anything but planning. All we ever spent time on was daydreaming of the after, not so much invested on the wedding. We were more then ready for the start of our lives, the start of our story being rewritten.My excitement was beyond words and whenever thoughts of getting married again came to mind, I would either zone out or squeal into dance. I was a woman in love, ready to walk down the aisle and spend the rest of her life with the love of her life. Everything now felt anew, like it was the first time getting married, only this time, things were going to be done the right way.As exciting as everything was, it still felt stressful and overwhelming, I didn't know where to start and right now, I am exhausted from just staring at the many wedding magazines. I didn't know what to do, what to choose and I was beyond frust

" You're my aunt?" I ask." Oh my gosh." In long stride, she comes over to me, surprising me with pulling me in for a big hug.I can't move or return the hug, my arms remain hanging on my sides."Oh sorry." She quickly steps back, blushing in embarrassment." It's okay. Um would you like to sit down for a moment?" " Yes of course." She goes back to where she'd been standing, now settling on the couch and I join her.A minute's silence passes with us simply staring at each other. She looks so much like my mom it's creepy. "I don't know what to say. Hi, I'm Akiandra?" I hold out my hand, biting at my lips, not really knowing what to say." Marisa Thompson, your aunt." She shakes my hand, a shy smile on her face." I don't know you, oh I'm sorry. What I mean is, my mother never mentioned you."

I laid back on the seat, silently watching the stars as they shun in the night sky, the open roof gave me the perfect view. We hadn't really spoken after he saved me from the many reporters. I have so many questions right now, one of them including when he got back, how he knew I'd be at the diner and why he brought me to the middle of nowhere. I did trust London, that he'd never hurt me, but I was curious as to why we were here.He laid on his back, on his own seat, having done the same with mine, letting the silence take over.I take this time to think back on tonight, how things ended between Keith and I. A part of me feels bad for some of the things I said. I understand his need to protect me and just how much he too was affected by my near death experiences. Another part of me needs for him to sort himself out, to talk to his family and release all he's been holding onto.He needs his family

I can say right now, today, that I've never felt more closer to my mother then hearing all about her life before she had me, from aunt Marisa.The way her eyes lit up as she lost herself to memory, gave away how much she loved and missed my mom. I could sense that she still wore that sense of guilt for not being there for her big sister, but I assured her that my mom was proud of her and that, she never held any grudges.Our afternoon was filled with tears, laughter and a trail down memory lane with the help of relaxation, we felt at the spa .Keith had not been kidding when he said we would have our own privacy with a team attending to us. The minute we stepped in, we were treated like royalty and at one point, one lady came forward, asking for my autograph. Crazy, I know.For some reason people were eager for Keith's and I's wedding, the lady who asked for my autograph asked if we would showcase it li

We circle around each other, having fun and enjoying this quiet moment.At first he was so tense after seeing me in the bathing suit for the first time, I thought he hated it, but him crashing his lips onto mine for a passionate, demanding kiss, threw that thought away.I found it both exciting and scary, how his heated gaze followed me the entire time to the pool. He eventually snapped out of whatever trance he was in and soon joined me.He was all touchy feely, making silly excuses for reasons why he claimed close proximity, until I saw right through him and swam to the furthest corner, letting him know that I figured out his plan and I would stay far away, if he didn't behave.He listened and quickly joined me on my side, pulling me close and claiming my lips for a torturous kiss, then after convincing me that we'd only be having our planned night swim." I spoke to my family." He sp

They were trying to resist but I knew that soon they would be goners.My beautiful babies.I didn't know how we did it, but Keith and I seemed to do pretty okay. Our babies, Isabella Rosie Salvatore and Isaiah Silas Salvatore.They were my pride and joy, my blessing from God, my little miracle babies. I fell in love with them everyday. There just seemed to be something new about them that captured my heart.5 years down the line and I'd grown, in fact we'd both grown. We were both still happily married, now we were content with our children and they brought more life into our lives.I've never seen Keith so happy, he just lights up at the sight of them and becomes putty at their hands, they've got him
YOU WAITED Chapter 60
A long journey it's been, for the both of us, especially for me. A young girl I'd been with, the will to survive in this life and make something of myself, I'm here now as a young woman, having grown within marriage.I was so young and probably naive but I still stood strong, for I'd been an observer and an independent person. Losing my mother was the hardest hit I'd got and at some point, I'd thought I'd lose focus and purpose, but then he showed up. Keith came along and gave me purpose, he gave me a reason to start living and being focused, even if my focus was on him.The age difference didn't matter to me, and even if I entered into this marriage alone, with no support or family, I still did it independently. My wait for him was not intentional at first, I found myself invested more in the marriage without realizing, and when I'd really opened my eyes to the truth, the truth was that I'd fall

I close my eyes, leaning back on the seat and relaxing on this travel back home. I can honestly say that I feel relaxed and content, for the honeymoon was beautiful, fun and exciting. Every bit of it was filled with new experiences, adventure and surprises. Keith never failed to surprise me , he always did even if it was something small or big, he surprised me. He showed me all beautiful places I've never been to, made me try out new things and always made sure that I was happy. Keith truly deserved the most caring husband award in my eyes.After that night where he asked me to sign those papers, giving me right over everything, I felt overwhelmed and loved so much, but of course fear gripped at me, for the amount of trust he had in me, was beyond words. He trusts me with his life and everything. His hard work, inheritance, future, were all in the palm of my hand and I was nervous of such a responsibility. I've never

My lips twitched into a smile as he trailed kisses up along my exposed back, awakening me from my sweet slumber. He ascended up to the back of my neck, where he earned a low moan from me."Good morning my love." He whispers in my ear, nipping at the earlobe."Morning to you too, I should be mad at you right now." " Why's that?" " Well you just woke me up early in the morning and the sun is not even up." I tell him, rolling onto my back, pulling the sheet with me, so it covers my chest.He hovers above me, arms on either side of my head." I love this sight." My brows pull together. "You in my bed, hair sprawled out on the pillow after we made love." He whispers the last part in my ear.My cheeks warm up and I look away, only for him to tilt my head up again, so I'm facing him."Don

The Wedding..Part two.I am the most smiling bride I've ever known, I'm afraid my face will crack seriously.The ceremony was so beautiful and magical, I can't help but gush each time I think of his vows, and him taking charge with the kiss like that, in front of everyone.Gosh, he can be such a show off.Pictures have already been taken and I can't wait for them to come out, we had so much fun with it. Keith was carefree and playful, the guys pictures were of them teasing each other, funny faces and more, and us ladies didn't let down either.The moment was over too soon because the best part was coming, it was time to party.I had changed into my second dress and I have one word for it. It is stunning. It's a long sleeved, all lace white backless gown, I'm a bit nervous about Keith's thoughts on it, I know how he can go all commando, when extra sk

Wedding day. ....The day has finally come and I can't believe I am feeling calm right now. I have long awaited this day, the day I finally got married to the love of my life, where love was the root cause of it all.I never thought in my wildest dreams, that a girl who lived a simple life and was still mourning her mother's death, would find herself in a waiting journey leading to this fairytale today.Nothing about us was easy, it was hard and a challenge indeed. The man who never glanced my way, who never spoke much to me and let me in his life, was the same man I was marrying today. Today he declared me his wife, his love for me was evident and he wanted to show it off, a day never started nor ended without him telling me that he loves me.I felt like the luckiest girl alive today.I couldn't wait to see him for I'd last seen him that night. I'd thought I'd

A whole day yesterday, spent of doing a pre wedding photoshoot. Keith was such a diva about it that every other plan was pushed back, being replaced by the photoshoot.We even went to different places, and I have to say, I had such a fun but tiring time.Keith can be such a perfectionist. We had to redo a lot of pictures until I put my foot down and said no more. He made it up to me with a nice foot massage, it literally lulled me into sleep. So tonight was my bachelorette party, the girls were adamant on it, specifically Theresa. The rest of the day belonged to Keith and I, because sadly, tomorrow we weren't going to see each other. Everyone forbid us from seeing each other.I was going to miss him that's for sure, but we needed a day apart, so we could miss each other terribly and on the day, it'll be more worth it.And how we planned to spend the day, we were cuddling again
YOU WAITED Chapter 54
Few days later.I stood behind Keith's office door, taking a nervous breath before knocking." Come in." I entered inside to find him busy on his laptop. The minute I stepped in, he looked away and focused his attention on me, an instant smile taking over his face." You're still busy." I accuse." No I'm not, I was just checking my emails." He chuckles, rising up on his feet and coming over to where I'm standing." You know I can go alone right, you don't have to come if you're busy." " No way am I wasting the little time together we can get, right now for anything, come on." He says, taking his phone and wallet, before taking my hand and leading me out of his office." I can't believe they're here." I say excitedly." Yeah you wouldn't have slept if I hadn't forced you to." I playfully

I couldn't face him after last night, I would blush so hard, just by glancing his way and he made no secret with his knowing smirk. That's why I'm sitting at the opposite end of the table this morning, doing all I can to not look at him. I trusted him last night and let him have his way with me. Let's just say I had to get a mouthful of air just to not lose consciousness, my rapid beating heart was the only thing, reminding me that I'm still breathing.So last night was last night and today is a new day, I've got quite a busy day ahead, well we both do and we won't get to see much of each other. I'll miss him dearly but preparations need to be done." Kea?" " Hmm?" I look up at him, to find his eyes already on me." You're very quiet this morning." He mentions." Am I?" " Hmm, and you barely touched your food," he gestures to my full plate.
