"We've spent ten years together but it feels like ten days because with you time pass so slowly. Most times, when I look into your eyes the world comes to a standstill and nothing else matters."
Natalie wiped the tears trickling down her cheeks as she listened to the speech. She was having a hard time believing that he had actually prepared something to say and she hadn't even thought of anything.
"I'll always love you for the rest of my life and there's nothing anyone can do to change it. I'm not immortal but with you, I feel I'm going to live forever."
"I've had the pleasure of being married to the most beautiful and caring woman in the universe. Please, let's give it up to Mrs. Natalie Rodrigo. My treasure, my life, and my whole world!"
Natalie blushed tears trickling down her cheeks as she stood up and joined Dante on the podium while the entire crowd gave them a standing ovation.
"Thank you so much, Dante," she gushed as he pulled her close plantin

"We're family too right? Wait let's join in the cake cutting."The silvery voice of the woman smirking and still standing at the doorway jolted her to her senses."What...who...how?" She stumbled on her words as she stared at the woman standing in the doorway."Oh dear, this family have no manners. They can't even invite me in," the woman groaned.Natalie couldn't move as she stood rooted to a spot. She had no idea what was going on or who had invited this woman."Don't take another step into this house!"Natalie gasped as Noah stepped out of the crowd and stood before the woman."Dear Noah, you've grown into a man," the woman chuckled."What are you doing here, Sophie? You should be ashamed to show your face here!" Noah snapped."Yes after all you've put this family through how dare you to show your face at such a joyous occasion?!" Chloe yelled standing beside Noah."Oh If it isn't my dearest Chloe. I missed you too," Sop

Natalie stared at Dante's sweaty palms and her heartbeat accelerated. He was never going to tell her the truth about how nervous he was.But why would he even think about lying to her when it was Sophie's fault?"Dante?" She prompted giving him a pleading look, "I need the truth, please."He nodded and wiped his sweaty palms on his trousers."When did you find out she was pregnant?" She asked again."I was at home that day when she called me early in the morning threatening to tell you about her pregnancy if I didn't come to see her," he began avoiding her eyes.Natalie frowned. What day had this happened?"I didn't want to tell you so you won't get stressed and get hurt with the baby so I left and I convinced her to get rid of the baby. She agreed to do so only that I spend the entire day with her away from my phone," he continued.Natalie's frown deepened as she tried to understand what he was saying. She couldn't seem to remember th

Sophie stared at the people before her, a small smile tugging on her lips. She had planned this perfectly. After letting Natalie live in peace for ten years this was only a small price that she could pay.She would make sure that Natalie and the rest of her family members know who she is and now she was back here, she had no intentions of ever living in this house."Mom, why are we standing here?" Her son asked.She smiled at him then smirked at the rest of the family members. "We are waiting for them to get used to seeing us so they would know that we are living in this same mansion with them."She stared at the horrified looks on their faces. Dario and Trish looked like they wanted to murder her, Faustino looked so furious as angry veins appeared on his forehead she was scared they would pop.Ava, Daniel, Chloe, Claire, and Noah were all huddled together discussing what she couldn't hear. Lisa and Jeff stood at the other end while she wept silently.

Noah took one look at his grandfather before racing towards him. He couldn't allow him to suffer a heart attack because of what had happened here today."Let's go for a walk, grandpa," he said the moment he reached him.Noah was getting ready for an argument but was surprised when he didn't argue. He merely followed him out with his head hung low.They got outside and sat on the porch swing. It's been a while since his grandpa behaved obediently without trying to put up a fight and it scared him.The weather was chilly and the cool evening breeze rustled their clothes as they sat down staring at the sky.He was always fascinated with the stars when he was growing up and it always was so beautiful at night. He realized that a single star does not make the sky beautiful but a billion stars."I wish life could be so beautiful like this for Natalie," his grandpa mumbled beside him.Noah's heart lurched in his throat as tears s

"Natalie, please open up!"Natalie took a step back from the door that was constantly banged on by Dante."Baby, please talk to me. Don't do anything rash!"A tear slipped down her cheeks as she stared at the closed door. She hated how broken his voice sounded, he shouldn't be this sad, he should be strong. Like how he has always been.What will she do now if her strength becomes weak now?No! She won't let that happen, she vowed as she rushed to the door trying to pull it open when her mind reminded her that he was the reason why she was going crazy!But she can't stay away from him for much longer, she reasoned with herself."I love you, Natalie. I'm sorry."Her heart broke into pieces. He was crying, her strong husband was crying because of her. But...he-he hurt her and made her cry too.He was the reason why she would never have a child again!The flower vase on her nightstand, the same one Dante had given her this morning came crashing down breaking into tiny pieces."Natalie!

Natalie came towards him and dropped the shards she was holding. They sank to the floor away from the glass particles as tears streamed down her cheeks."I love you Dante how could you do this to me?" She cried uncontrollably as he soothed her hair."I'm sorry love. I didn't mean to hurt you like that I just didn't dare to tell you," he pleaded."But she has a baby for you Dante and that is something I can never give you," she cried."That baby was a mistake," he replied."Doesn't mean that he doesn't exist now," she pointed out.Her eyes became cloudy again as anger filled her heart. How could she have given in so easily to this man who had betrayed her the moment he let Sophie come between them.A rational part of her mind pointed out that it wasn't Dante's fault but another one of Sophie's plans. But that realization only made it harder to bear.She was getting tired of the constant scheming of people as they always tried to outsmart her. She was getting tired of having to fight all

Natalie opened her eyes and shut them back wincing in pain as the sun rays filtered into the room momentarily making the whole world go blind for a split second.When she tried to open her eyes again, she wasn't assaulted by the bright light instead she shielded her eyes with the blankets.Her head felt so heavy and she had a massive headache almost like a hangover. She was sure her eyes were swollen too with the way they itched and hurt.She tried sitting up on the bed but it was impossible as a wave of dizziness hit her. Her wrists hurt like hell and there was a bitter taste in her mouth.The events of what had happened last night floated in her mind and she found the tears stinging in her eyes again.She glanced at the clock sitting on her nightstand and then her phone. She had been unconscious for two days?What had happened within that time frame? She wondered. Did Dante accept Sophie and Kol as his new family while he kicked her to the curb?She heard loud voices outside and it s

He has tried his best over the last two days to pacify her but still nothing.She hadn't wanted to see him when she was in a coma state due to the drugs Jones gave her and had even threatened to hurt them both but somehow he had restrained her."Daddy, your food is ready."He blinked and looked up at the child interrupting his train and thoughts and sighed. Kol was standing before him with huge blue eyes."I'm not hungry, Kol," he mumbled."But I told mommy to prepare food for you," he whined."Then tell her to discard it!" He yelled.The big blue eyes pooled up with tears and they began trickling down his chubby cheeks. Dante stared at the boy and felt so bad.He was yelling at him as his father and grandfathe
