DYLAN"Boring. How about you being naked?""Okay. We can do it your way. What would you do with a naked me?" This was getting interesting."Everything possible," she said, tapping her nails on the glass. Alena put down her glass and drew her face closer to mine."Enlighten me, wife." I played along, bringing my face even closer to hers.Alena bit her bottom lip seductively, and I felt her hand on my thigh from under the table. She slowly started moving it upwards to my...Wait, what?"Alena," I warned, but her smile only grew wider and naughtier. She wasn't even stopping.I couldn't breathe. I felt suffocated. My head became weirdly light, and my palms felt sweaty."What's wrong, honey? You wanted me to touch it the other day. What's wrong now?"Was she drunk?She was almost there, but she immediately removed her hand."Are you drunk?" I asked her, still dumbfounded by her steamy action a few seconds ago."I don't think so," she replied, playing with her nails."Who are you, and what

DYLAN"Yes. It's really hard for her to talk about her past. I don't like prying on the topic either.""Yeah. I understand her. It's not my story to tell anyway, but she got disturbed after her dad passed away.""I heard they were really close.""Very close. She was in the car with him when they crashed. She saw him die. Everything in her life changed after that. She lost her voice. She lost herself. She lost many things... people too," she told me."Which people?""She'll tell you when she's ready, Dyl. If she hasn't told you, then she doesn't want you to know. Don't tell her I told you this. She doesn't want to be pitied."I never knew she was in that car with Arthur Weston. According to the news, about five years ago, he was all alone in that car. No report ever talked about her daughter being in the car with him."I never knew.""Yeah. No one was supposed to know anyway.""So, how'd you know?""We're like family. I've known them ever since I was like five, so I know almost everyth

ALENAI didn't care about that, though. At least she knew how I felt. I felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders.I walked away from her with a bright smile on my face. Steve asked her to dance with him, and I just smiled even brighter."May I steal a dance from you, my lady?" Benjamin Cameron offered, being the gentleman he naturally was."Why, sure, Mr. Handsome Gentleman. It'd be an honor."I started dancing with Benjamin. It was magical. Like a father, like a son."Forgive my son for being such a jerk to a kind lady like you," Benjamin apologized, twirling me, and then he dipped me."Yeah, he really is a jerk, but my favorite kind of jerk. He's an amazing jerk.""Thank you for coming into our lives.""Thank you for accepting me into your family.""It's a pleasure. We hope to keep you forever.""As in?""As in, it's almost time to go home, Cora," he totally changed the topic. I just smiled at him."I'll be waiting for you in the car. Be careful.""Sure, Dad. Let me

ALENAWe left in a Tesla with him driving. My heart was still beating really fast. At least Harry wasn't asking me any stupid questions. He looked somewhere around my age, and he seemed pretty nice. I remembered him picking me up from work at least twice. He mostly worked close to Dylan.We made it to the hotel, and I checked with the reception to see if the two were still booked in. Apparently, they had left a few minutes past midnight. That was about an hour ago. The only other place I could try was Sophie's apartment. The good thing was that Harry knew where Sophie lived, so getting there was pretty easy.I instructed Harry to stay behind so that I could go and check on Sophie on my own. By then, he knew I had made up the entire phone thing. He wasn't nosy, and I liked it. He respected my wishes."Mrs. Cameron...""Harry, you can call me Alena. What's up?""Well, Alena, be careful. I'm giving you ten minutes only. If you take longer than that, I'm following you. If there's any prob

ALENAThe gunshot came from Sophie's bedroom. Whatever happened in there must have been serious. I hoped it was Liam who got shot, but once again, luck was not on my side.Liam was right behind me just after I heard the gunshot, with a gun in his hand. He held my hand and walked out really quick. My knee throbbed in pain. I couldn't take it."Slow down. I can't walk!" I cried. Liam turned around and slapped me hard with the back of his hand. I crumbled into a disheveled heap on the floor."I am not your daddy or your husband, okay? This is not a palace. Do not demand luxury. Get up and follow me!" he screamed. He pointed the gun at me, and I nodded in a state of pure fright.I stumbled up, and he held my hand again. I was scared of guns. They made me tremble in fear. I didn't want to die just yet. I still had to spend my seven and a half months with my husband. I still had to enjoy his kisses and maybe achieve one of my goals, which involved him loving me as his wife, not as a random
