Chapter 8 ( Will's POV)

I hate family dinners.

You might wonder why.

Let me explain.

My mother was not my mother.

Ok, that just sounded wrong.

I will rephrase that.

The woman I called mother, actually wasn't my mother.

Shocking right?

Well, I will elaborate before we turn our attention back to the family dinner that is happening in the present.

Years ago my mother and brother were in a car accident and supposedly they both died. Looking at what was left of the car there was no chance they could survive.

But what was weird though, there was no blood either in the car or around it.

So I think you can understand why I was so skeptical about everything the cops told me and my father and at that time.

There was another weird thing.

It was only a few weeks after we buried 2 empty caskets because we never found any remains of mother or Devin- that was my brother's name.

And suddenly there was a woman at our door. She was covered in dirt and blood, which wasn't hers, but she couldn't - or rat

    Chapter 9 (Ana's POV)I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY!Why?Well, things are finally going as planned.We managed to take off all the paperwork, meetings, long conference calls, etc.And we finally managed to launch our first official commercial on television.We were currently all seated in Becky and Aron's living room.And by all, I mean myself, William, Becky and Aron, Rachel and Mason, and of course Vicky.And for the first time, since we started hanging out together, it was quiet in the house.I know, weird right?Just us four girls should be able to make a huge ruckus.But right now we were too nervous because, in a few minutes, our commercial would play for the first time.The time finally arrived and we watched with held breath.It was perfect. Our main model was, of course, Becky.And I bet you can guess what followed after the commercial was done.Duh!!We started screaming and jumping at the same time.And it was all back to normal.Chatter returned, joking started and we were just

    Chapter 10 (Will's POV)I was lost in my thoughts.I have no idea what Margareth's plan was but I was somehow sure it had something to do with me standing up to her and practically telling her to put her engagement with Jasmine up her ass.But what troubled me, even more, was the words Ana spoke."She is not someone you want to mess with."That meant there was more to the woman my father married than the eye met.Right now we were at Ana's house waiting for everyone to gather.We need a plan.As far as I could tell, she never went this far in the past but who knows?In half an hour we were all seated in Ana's living room, including her mother Lizz.Ana was the first to speak and I was grateful for that because right now I was still trying to process everything."Ok. So, guys, we have a situation. Aron, remember when your mother appeared out of nowhere months ago? Well, it seems she never even left London. Not completely. As far as I can tell from what William told me, once she left yo

    Chapter 11 (Ana's POV)Well if someone told me just yesterday that my weird estranged psycho aunt had a problem with me I would laugh at them.After all, she barely has any idea who I am.So as I was staring at the note in Will's hands, you can bet I was dumbstruck.This woman has no idea about the kind of woman I am, and never had any interest in it as well, but still, she wants to get rid of me.And the fact that my mother suspected her of having something to do with my father's death was the breaking point for me.What in the ever-loving hell is wrong with this woman?When you take a closer look at all the evidence we discussed a moment ago there's no way to get to any other conclusion than, my aunt is a total psycho.Will was running circles on my back, trying to calm me down and the chatter around me was continuing, but I couldn't hear a word they said.Voices in my head spoke too loud for me to hear anything else.There was only one solution.I didn't like it. To be honest I hat

    Chapter 12 (William's POV)Almost a whole week has passed already and I was still nowhere close to a solution.But still, I had no chance of getting out of the family dinner.This week especially, since Jasmine was coming over with her family.And to say I was not looking forward to it was such an understatement that it was laughable.I had no idea why my father even insisted but I had no way around everything.But to my surprise as soon as I arrived at my father's house."Listen, son. I know you think I am old but I am not that old. I know how much you hate these dinners and I am sure you don't want to see Jasmine right now. But I have a weird gut feeling that she is somehow involved in everything. And you know I don't take these feelings lightly. So I think it would be best for my suspicions to get confirmed if we had her here so we could test the waters on our turf if you get what I mean."A chuckle escaped me at his words. The old man had more spunk in him left than he led on to b

    Chapter 13 (Ana's POV)It was already the weekend and by tomorrow, William had to make up his mind or come up with a plan.But I was losing any remaining hope, day by day.Sure, everyone was trying to reassure me, but it wasn't working, at least not anymore.And guess what?My fears were once again proven right when later in the day my doorbell rang and Will was standing on the other side with a solemn expression on his face. "Hey, Ana. Can we talk?"Shoot. Looks like it's even more serious than I expected if he was cutting it to the point right away with those famous words.While I loved this man like a lunatic I wouldn't go easy on him.I've told him we needed to break up and just go with the flow but as stubborn as he is, he wouldn't listen. So now he can stand and speak."We can, but we can talk here, you don't have to come inside for whatever we need to talk about."To my surprise all received was a resigned nod from him and that kind of blasted off all my alarm bells."We shoul

    Chapter 14 (Will's POV)"Honey, I am home!"Fuck, but I am starting to hate this woman from the bottom of my heart.Like I've said before, once upon a time we were best friends.But then this arranged marriage came and she changed, but since she practically admitted to working with Margareth she became this obnoxiously annoying person in my mind that I could barely stand.And she waltzed into my house like it was hers.In the next moment, she appeared in my home office with a huge grin on her face, as if she won the lottery, while I stared at her with a blank expression."What are you doing in my house, and why didn't you ring the bell as every normal person would?"Well…I tried. But her grin did not slip from her face, instead, it looked as if it stretched even wider."Oh, William don't be so old school. We can live together before we get married you know that.

Since Becky and Rachel are not drinking due to their pregnancy.But we were all laughing anyway.Me and Vicky had alcohol to blame, and the other two were laughing at us because we were too drunk to think reasonably."The plan so far is that there is no plan at all."Yes, you guessed correctly, that was Vicky.And we were laughing again, but if we wanted or not we needed a plan of action."No seriously. We need a plan. "A weird moment of silence descended upon us and it was apparent we were all deep in thought.The first one to break the spell was Rachel."What if we crashed his wedding day?"That actually sounded like the best plan we came up with so far."Ok.

But I had no idea who. Still I felt eyes on me every time I left my house.That's why Mason and Aron had their own keys to my house and they entered from the back.So far, no one contacted me or gave me any indication that they knew about their visits.They in this instance being Margareth, Jasmine and everyone they worked with.So the list was pretty long and unfortunately many players were still unknown.Just as I was thinking about everything, Mason and Aron came from the backside of the house."Hey man.

Can you tell your son to leave me alone so I can get ready?"I chuckled at my daughter. She was almost 26 years old but Harry still tries to be the overprotective brother even though she just wants him to leave her alone so she can find a boyfriend.But to her disappointment, Mason encourages his son and even helps him whenever a boy comes around our house.Well too bad for them. Rebecka is my daughter through and through. Her sassy side, her looks, everything. "Mason, can you please for once tell Harry to go out with his own friends? You know I want grandbabies at some point."Mason was sitting right next to me a

    Epilogue A FEW YEARS LATER Vicky's POV "Sid! Come downstairs and bring your brothers with you please, dad will be home any minute!""Okay, mom!"As you can see, Sidney is still the perfect child even at 21 years. The same could not be said for her brothers. Only 6 months after our reunion Devin proposed and of course, I accepted without hesitation. We got married a month later and our wedding was a smaller ceremony because we were in a hurry. I was pregnant. A few months later we got the news that there were two babies, not one. And add some more months and we got two little boys who looked exactly like their father and even now, at almost 7 years they are the spitting image of Devin. And not just in looks either. They have his mischievous character as well. But I can't say I regret anything. I love my family just the way it is.A few minutes later our children rush from upstairs and immediately start to help me prepare the table for dinner.Devin still runs the organization but now

    Chapter 16 (Devin's POV)GUYS! I have a daughter!Almost a grown up daughter.When I first saw her standing next to Vicky I didn't even realize little details that pointed towards me being her father.What I saw was only that she was the spitting image of her mother, except for her hair color. I now realized it was the same as mine.The anger I felt was boiling and I was barely holding back my sarcasm when I asked Vicky who Sidney's father was. Until she brought me back to reality by telling me to take a closer look. And like I said, that's when little details started to pop out. Her eyes, her dimpled smile, and when I looked a bit closer the dead giveaway sign was staring back at me. A perfect replica of my mole, in the same spot where mine was.And when she stopped forward to shake my hand, my legs gave way and I was on my knees.There were only two persons that would ever be able to bring me to this position and in such a vulnerable state. One was the love of my life and the other

    Chapter 15 (Vicky's POV)A FEW DAYS LATER Okay. A little help would be nice right now.How do you explain to your 15-year-old daughter that her father was actually alive and even in the same town as you two are living in?I guess there is no instruction or even a nice way. You just need to pull off the band-aid.Let's do this."Sidney! Honey! Can you please come here for a moment?"When I say my hands were sweating and shaking like a leaf in the wind I am not exaggerating at all.Sidney was pretty much the perfect child. Well except for her stubborn moments, I guess. But mostly she doesn't argue with me, she does what she's told to do, and does well in school. I've never even been called to school for any kind of problem.But I guess we could describe this news as a bomb being thrown at her already unstable life.But she deserved to know the truth and have a chance to choose whether she wanted to meet her fathers and have a relationship with him or not, and most of all, Devin deserve

    Chapter 14 (Devin's POV)A few hours earlier.The time has come.I needed to make sure, my brother doesn't get married to that conniving bitch.And the only way to do that was if I came back into the land of the living.It was just me, my mother, and Gabriel going to the wedding that would never ever happen if I had a say.As we approached the hotel where it would all be held I spotted the devil's spawn right away and did everything in my power to avoid her.But then out of nowhere, a man approached us.He was vaguely familiar to me, but I couldn't put a name to his face right away."Me., Mrs., could I ask you to accompany me please?"As he spoke it struck me."You are Mason right?"He looked at me like a second head was growing on my shoulders."I won't even ask how you know my name because I have a feeling I wouldn't like the answer. So yes. My name is Mason."I gave him a nod and motioned for him that we would follow him.Before we went upstairs though I gave Gabriel an order to st

    Chapter 13 (Vicky's POV)WE ARE GETTING CLOSER….Well, I guess we need to do some catching up.So here are the things you missed.My best friend Aron finally met his soulmate and he could not be happier.And honestly, she is the perfect match for him.I still remember the day when he brought her into my restaurant for the first time.Me being me I gave him crap and tried to make him look as bad as possible in front of Becky, but what my stories did was the opposite. It made her like him even more and in the process, made me like her even more. I saw it there and then, that they were perfect for each other. Of course, those two idiots needed a few more weeks before they came to the same conclusion. Also, Aron's mother tried to ruin everything good in between and she almost succeeded. Thank God Aron pulled his head out of his ass just in time and got Becky back with a grand gesture that I might have had a hand in.Before them, though there was Mason and Rachel, now that's a bit more com

    Chapter 12 (Devin's POV)"How are things with businesses Gabriel? Any resistance left from owners to go to legal ways?"I was sitting in my office with my right-hand man Gabriel sitting right next to me."No man. We took care of everything so now every last one of our previous businesses is put on legal ground."That was news I loved to hear.Since I took over the mafia I have done everything to put us on the map as legal business owners and so far I've been doing a good job, and it was all thanks to Gabriel and Macy and all their support and help. Also my mother. She was working with Macy in one of our smaller companies. Its main production was make-up and everything related to it.So it could one day easily cooperate with my family's business which I hope goes as predicted into my brother's hands before we come clean about us being alive.There were still more things to be discussed but for the next few topics I needed to make sure the room was safe."Are we safe here?"Gabriel didn

Nana will be here any minute!"It was one of our usual Monday mornings.Sidney was a heavy sleeper and that girl loved her sleep.So when I managed to wake her up in the mornings I didn't expect any good mood from her. At least not before noon.She was already 10 years old and she was a pain in my ass.I love her wholeheartedly but where she was a spitting image of me in the looks, she was her father's daughter characteristically. Stubborn, sassy, and has a wicked sense of humor already. "I am coming, mom! Why don't you take me to school? And why don't we ever spend the afternoon outside?"Here we go again."Sidney. I've told you. I have my restaurant to take care of and whether you like it or not your identity should be kept a secret.

Thank God recently there was only legal business to take care of. Oh right. I am the boss's right hand alongside Gabriel and I must admit we make quite a good team.There was still no trace of Vicky or her whereabouts. I started to suspect someone from inside the organization didn't want me to find her. So while I was waiting for Gabriel I went through everything I knew about Vicky so far. And sadly it wasn't much.I was completely engrossed in my data and didn't even realize Gabriel walked up to me. A deadly mistake if it was someone else.
