chapter 41

AlexanderI’m oddly impatient as I wait for Elena by the entrance of the restaurant. I told her I’d take her to the opening of our latest restaurant, and she told me she’d meet me here. I smile to myself when my limousine pulls up to the curb. I walk up to the passenger door and open it, my breath catching when I see her.She’s wearing a stunning black dress that hugs her figure beautifully, but it’s her eyes that get to me. It’s the way she looks at me like she and I are the only ones that are in on a secret.“You look beautiful,” I tell her as I help her out of the car. Elena smiles at me, and my heart skips a damn beat.“You don’t look so bad yourself,” she says, her eyes roaming over my body. “Though I think you’ll look even better on top of me tonight.”My eyes widen in shock and Elena smirks in satisfaction. She’s getting more and more brazen with the things she says to me lately. She loves provoking me, shocking me. I grin at her and pull her closer, kissing her right in front

chapter 42

Elena“Are you ready?” Sofia says.I nod at her and stare at myself in the mirror. The long pale pink gown I’m wearing is absolutely stunning, and it’s probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever worn.I’ve gotten quite used to Sofia asking me to accompany her for charity events and lunches, but tonight is the first night she’s taking me to a gala. I kind of wish Alec didn’t have to work late tonight, so we could go together. I know he’ll likely end up making an appearance, since this event is hosted by the Kennedys, but it isn’t the same as arriving there on his arm.“Let’s go,” Sofia says, taking my hand.I follow her down, where the limousine is waiting for us. I’m oddly nervous. It’s been so long since I’ve been at an event this big. There’ll be so many people I know, people I haven’t spoken to in years, people that won’t know anything about me, except for the rumors Elise has been spreading, and whatever they may have heard about me in the press lately.I’m trembling by the time

chapter 43

AlexanderElena can’t stop staring at her engagement ring, and I can’t stop staring at her. The wind rustles her hair beautifully, and I’m glad we opted to have dinner on our terrace today. I can’t remember any woman ever cooking for me—it’s always a chef. Yet Elena, a woman that grew up in the same environment I did, cooks for me all the time. She takes the time to find out what my favorite dishes are and buys exotic ingredients to surprise me with. I’m not used to being taken care of this way.“It’s stunning,” she says, her eyes twinkling. “I wish I could show my mom.”Elena never ceases to amaze me. She refuses to give up on her mother, no matter how slim the odds are.“Do you think she’d like it?” I ask.Elena nods. “Yeah, it’s simple but so luxurious at the same time. Mom would definitely love this.”I smile at her. She lights up when she speaks of her mother, of her memories with her. “Tell me about your happiest childhood memory,” I say, my voice soft.Elena looks at me and tak

chapter 44

ElenaAlec and I wake up to incessant knocking, and before we realize someone’s at the door, Lucian and Sofia walk in. Alec sits up, startled, the sheets falling to his waist. He nudges me gently and wraps me in the blankets as I sit up, covering as much of myself as I can.“I’m sorry, my darlings,” Sofia says. “We wouldn’t have walked in, but we had no other choice. Neither one of you picked up the phone, and you were so fast asleep the knocking didn’t wake you either.”“What is it, Mother?” Alec asks, his arm wrapped around me.“Elena… it’s your mother,” she says carefully. My heart drops and Alec tightens his grip on me, both of us bracing for the worst.“I—the doctor asked us to come to the hospital. He was unclear about what’s wrong. He didn’t say. We need to go.”I nod and move to get out of bed mindlessly, but Alec grabs me and wraps me in his arms, sheets and all.“Clothes, Buttercup?”I nod and glance at Lucian, panic rendering me useless. He walks into our wardrobe and return

chapter 45

ElenaI’m restless in the morning, eager to see my mother. Lucian, Sofia, and Alec all look as tired as I do, as though none of us managed to get any sleep.“Mom is going to want to see Dad, isn’t she? How do I explain he isn’t here?”It would devastate her to find out he not only left her, but that he has married someone else already. “Oh God, how do I explain to her that I can’t even take her home?”My heart races, devastation and helplessness constricting my breathing. Alec walks up to me and cups my cheeks, keeping my eyes on his.“Baby, breathe,” he says. “You’re fine. She’s awake now, and that’s all that matters. The rest we can deal with, one step at a time.”Lucian rubs my back gently, his expression as torn as Alec’s. None of us know what the right thing to do is.“She needs to be informed,” Sofia says. “But not now, honey.”I nod at her, my heart aching for my mother. I’ve been wanting her to wake up for so long now, but I haven’t given much thought towhatshe’d be waking up

chapter 46

ElenaI pace in the living room, feeling restless. “What can we do?” I ask.Sofia, Lucian, and Alec are as lost in thought as I am.“What do you want the end result to be, Buttercup?” Alec asks. “Do you want your family to land in jail? Do you want them to disappear? Tell me what you want, and we’ll find a way to make it happen.”I nod, trying my best to decide what needs to be done, to set aside the love I’ve held onto for so long—love neither my brother nor my father deserves.“I need to know if my father was involved. I want Jade and Matthew to go down. I want them, the way they’ve made me feel—helpless, cut off from everything and everyone they’ve ever known. I want their assets, every single thing they own, every single thing they care about. I want it all. But above all, I want everything my mother has ever worked for. When she was declared brain dead, my father inherited her entire estate. I want that rectified.”Alec starts to pace like I am, restless. “We need to attack them

chapter 47

AlexanderI push Sarah’s wheelchair through the garden, stopping to admire different flowers. She loves the feeling of the sun on her face and the fresh air. I can’t blame her, she’s been cooped up in a room for years.We’ve converted one of the guest rooms on the ground floor into a fully equipped medical room for her, so at least we can keep her at home now. We got her an electric wheelchair too, and she’s enjoying being able to move around the house a little.It took almost two months before we could take her home from our private clinic, and even now she requires round-the-clock care. She’s had to learn how to breathe by herself again, how to speak again, and even how to eat. Watching Elena’s heart break every time her mother struggles to relearn something is tearing me apart.“I heard her, you know,” Sarah says, and I pause.She still struggles to move her limbs. In a way, she’s like a baby. Her body is mostly fine now, but she needs to relearn how to do basic tasks and how to ge

chapter 48

AlexanderElena twists and turns in bed, unable to fall asleep. I roll over and wrap my arm around her waist, pressing my lips against her neck.“Can’t sleep?”She sighs and turns to face me, her nose brushing past mine. She shakes her head, looking lost. “I can’t stop thinking about Matthew, about my father… about everything my mother told me. How could Matthew have done this? My mother raised him. Growing up, she always treated us the same. If anything, she’d treat Matthew better. She gave him everything he ever wanted, and this is how he repays her?”I bury my hand in her hair and sigh, not knowing what to say. I don’t think Elena needs me to say anything anyway—she just needs me to listen, so I do.“And my father? My mother saved his company, and thereby his family, from ruins. He’d benothingwithout her. He should’ve been devoted to her, but instead he had an entire second family behind our backs. What kind of person does that?”Elena grits her teeth, her eyes flashing with fury.

chapter 49

ElenaI look into the mirror, admiring my outfit. I opted for a maroon-colored pantsuit, and even I have to admit that it makes me look…powerful.“You look stunning,” Alec says, his eyes roaming over my body. I smile and walk up to him, fixing his matching maroon tie.I place my palms against his chest, my heart filled with gratefulness. “None of this would be possible without you.”He smiles and brushes my hair behind my ear. “Are you ready?” he asks.I nod. Three months. It’s been three months since we took my mother home. It took me that long to get all legal aspects in place.Alec holds my hand as we walk down the stairs. The entire ground floor is filled with men dressed in black suits, guns strapped to their waists. My mother stands in the middle, leaning on her cane, Sofia by her side. She still can’t walk well, and she can’t walk for long, but she’s getting there, slowly.She looks beautiful today, and every time she smiles at me, I’m still struck with disbelief. I almost lost

chapter 50

AlexanderElena stares up at her family home, a sad expression on her face.“Don’t worry, baby,” I say, wrapping my arm around her. “We’ll get you your home back.”Elena shakes her head and rises to her tiptoes, pressing a lingering kiss to my cheek. “No,” she says. “My home is with you. Today, we’re regaining my mother’s home.”My heart stirs and I smile down at her. She considers her home to be with me?“Honey.”Elena turns to look at her mother, her brows raised.“Let me,” Sarah says, her eyes on the property in front of us. “Let me do this.”Elena nods, her hand brushing down my arm until she’s got her hand nestled in mine. I entwine our fingers, the two of us following behind Sarah, a dozen men surrounding us.Elena touches her earpiece and then nods at her mother. “Systems are down.”Sarah inhales deeply and pushes the gates open. She walks slowly, heavily leaning on her cane, but she’s walking. After all these years, she’s walking.I glance at my wife, my amazing wife. Never on
