Chapter 29 (Becky's POV)I was a miserable woman for more than a week already.And even now, Aron didn't stop sending me texts every day.Like what the hell dude? He broke up with me but wasn't willing to let me get over him.So right now I was blasting music on my earphones so loud I could turn off everything else.I was also cleaning my house.After all, I had to finally get rid of all the evidence of Aron ever living here.I didn't want to be reminded of him every day after all.I also had to get my phone number changed as soon as possible, but I just didn't really feel like going out of my house just yet.Maybe in a couple of days. But definitely not today.So I continued cleaning and singing to the songs playing in my head.Of course, it was a special playlist made for a broken heart.So there were songs such as, Didn't I?, You broke me first, Leave before I love you, and so on.I guess you get what I mean.Suddenly my singing got cut off by a ping from my phone alerting me that
Epilogue (Aron's POV)A few months later Candles, check.Roses, check.Wine, check.Music, check.I think I have it all set for our 6 months anniversary.At least I hope so.Let me bring you up to speed.Rachel and Mason got married a month ago. I was Mason's best man and Becky was Rahel's maid of honor.Then a week ago, Rachel gave birth to a beautiful little angel. They named her Rebecka after the most brilliant and beautiful woman, my woman.Ana still didn't tell me about her reasons for quitting college.But I would find out sooner or later.She wanted to study since we were little kids, so for her to quit, it had to be something huge.I knew Becky was in on the secret, but I didn't want to put her in a difficult position so I didn't even ask about details.She was as loyal to Ana as she was to Rachel and lately Vicky.Those four were getting into trouble at every turn.But neither I nor Mason really minded. All four of them were happy and that's all that mattered at the end of

Chapter 1 (Ana's POV)It's been a month since Aron and Becky got married and today they are finally returning from their honeymoons.I can't wait to see them both.Sure I missed my brother like crazy, but I also missed my sister-in-law, maybe even more, since I never managed to build friendships with females until Becky.Well, technically that's a little lie.I and Vicky were friends since childhood, but she had her own business to run and I hated to bug her with my problems all the time.So I sometimes gulped down my problems.And lately, it's starting to get overwhelming.All these problems and I always kept quiet about them. Now they started to come to the surface.So a few months ago I admitted to Rachel and Becky about my ex-boyfriend.At least I think that's what I should call him. Well, let's start from the beginning ok?So his name is Will, short for William.His name should give him away ,right? But stupid me, I didn't put one and one together.So we hit it off in our first
Chapter 2 (Rachel's POV)"Mason we only have 3 days left until Christmas and we don't have one fucking gift for our friends and your sister! We still don't have our tree put up! Are you fucking kidding me with your I don't have time excuse right now??!?"I know. I am swearing too much. But I fucking don't care right now!It is our first Christmas with Rebecka and even though she is still a little thing I want everything to be perfect.But my husband dearest decided to shit on my parade this year.Well, speak of the devil…At that moment he came around the corner of our living room."Love I know how you feel about Christmas but I am just asking you to wait a day or two longer, please? Can you do that for me?"Don't get me wrong.I love Mason from the bottom of my heart.But right now I will strangle him."WE ONLY HAVE 3 DAYS LEFT YOU SELF-ABSORBED IDIOT! 3 FUCKING DAYS!!"I know, I know.That was really too mean.But right now all my words were fuelled with so much rage that all I coul
Chapter 3 (Becky's POV)"No, my husband dearest you can't have me all to yourself all throughout Christmas. We were alone on our honeymoon, now it's time you share me with our friends and family."I could see he didn't like my idea, but I don't care.Christmas for me was always a family holiday and not something to spend locked inside your house or in Aron's case inside our bedroom.I loved him like crazy, but I missed spending time with Ana, Rachel, and Vicky, maybe I even missed my brother a little.Fine, I am lying, I missed him like crazy.They were also an important part of my life just as Aron was.But my husband just wanted me for himself.This time around though there was no chance I would give in to his demands.I had a little secret of my own, that I was dying to tell him.But not before Christmas.Right now though I was getting ready to go out with my girls.Once again we were getting together at Vicky's place, but this time we forbade her to serve us, this evening she had
Chapter 4 (Mason's POV)Today was the last day before Christmas.Lucky for me, the girls were out again and we were alone at home with Rebecka.Now I needed my best friend to help me put my plan into action.Thank God for once he wasn't a stubborn pain in my ass and agreed to come over right away.Probably because he was as bored as I was without his wife at home.A few minutes later there was a knock at my door surprising me.I was even more shocked when I looked through the peephole only to find Aron already standing on our porch."What did you get some kind of super speed or something? How did you manage to get here in only 2 minutes? I know we live close, but not that close."I was glad to see my best friend smiling more in the past months since he got together with my sister.He deserved all the happiness and I was even more sure about that ever since I found out about his mother and her evil plans.She really was the complete opposite of Aron, and how such a woman could give birt
Chapter 5 (Vicky's POV)If I told you once upon a time I was this bitter hateful girl, I bet you would never believe me.But I was.You could say Aron came into my life at just the right time and saved me from my own destruction.My parents were never in the picture.Sure, I lived with them. They just weren't around.My mother was either sleeping with her new flour of the week or she was looking for him.And my father you ask?Well, to be honest, he did try.He worked 2 jobs, in the summer even 3, and came home destroyed and exhausted but still tried to spend some time with me. But his eyes were empty. Destroyed by my mother's betrayal.When I was only 9 years old he mysteriously passed away.My thoughts are that he was murdered.Probably you wonder why such thoughts…A few weeks before I received the awful news, I overheard him on the phone with someone that didn't sound nice to me at all.So I think my father got tangled up in some not-so-legal businesses and paid the price.Still,
BONUS SCENE *********Since we started with Rachel and Mason I thought it would only be fair to end our journey with them as well don't you think? :) but let's see it like this. They have a daughter and a sister…what do you think those two are up to a decade or two later??*********Rachel and Mason 25 years into marriage "Mom! Mila is coming by to get me in a few minutes! 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
Chapter 11 (Vicky's POV)A few years later"Sidney! Hurry up pumpkin! 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. Your father came from a wealthy family and people hurt others when money is in the game. And I made a promise the day I gave birth to you…""I know, I know. That you would never let
Chapter 10 (Devin's POV)You know that feeling in your stomach that's telling you something important is going on somewhere but you have no idea what it could be?Well, this feeling has been bugging me the whole day long already.My life in general is starting to get better.I am waiting for Gabrial to arrive so we can take the report up to the boss's office. 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. Someone from the rival gangs around London perhaps."Didn't I tell you to drop this issue
