"But that can't be, right? This was just my mind playing tricks on me. You wouldn't do that to me? Would you?" This was the moment I had dreaded for so long, even tho I was supposed to be happy she was remembering, I was terrified. Unable to speak, trying to get my thoughts in order to find the best way to explain this to her but I was left paralyzed in front of her."God I am so sorry." She said. What is she sorry about? I'm the one who needs to apologize. "I shouldn't have even asked you that, of course, you wouldn't hurt me. This was just a nightmare. Let's just forget about it." Did she really believe that or was she only trying to fool herself? Just tell her the truth, if she is remembering on her own maybe that's what she needs to remember everything."Autumn, that..." Come on, why is it so hard for the words to leave my mouth?"Shhh, don't say anything. Just hug me again." Autumn said as she put her hands around me and her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my hands around her and b

"Relax Domenic." I say to myself as I grip the box harder then look at Alex who was looking at me amused. "I have to give it to her, even visibly pregnant she is able to score a guy." Alex jokes before walking in front of me while my feet struggle to follow. As if I didn't have enough problems now I have to deal with this man as well. When will I ever catch a break in this life? "You two seem to be having a good time." Alex said as she placed her box in between them. "He was telling me a joke. Leo is quite funny." Autumn says as she still smiles at him. Her smiles are only for me, not some random man claiming to be her family. "Where is Summer?" I ask as I look around trying not to look pissed. "She went to the bathroom, she won't take long." Autumn says as I glare at Leo."I see you are busy so I'll leave you now." Leo gets up and stands by Autumn's side. "It was nice talking to you, hopefully, we'll have more opportunities to get to know each other." He says as he takes her hand

"Who is Alice Moore?" Leo asks confused."Well if I'd known that then I wouldn't need you, now would I?" I say frantically as I look around making sure no one is coming."Anything particular I should pay my attention to?" I don't know what there is to find, but I am sure Domenic is hiding something from me, and it's related to her."She was close to Domenic, that should put you in the right direction." That is everything I know at the moment, but my gut tells me there is so much more to discover."What? Is this a jealousy thing?" Leo asks and I frown."Just do what I told you, and anything you find out you come directly to me. No one else needs to know I ask you this." I am sure they would all be quick to stop me from finding out whatever it is that they are hiding from me."May I ask, why did you ask me to do it?" He asks and the answer is pretty simple."I get the feeling my family is overprotecting me and I know they wouldn't allow me to pock around, so I need you to do it." He nods

"Wait, not here. Let's go into your room, no one is going to look for me there." I say, I can't risk someone, especially Domenic seeing me with Leo. "Let's go back and use the maid's stairwell, that way we are closer to my room. To avoid unnecessary encounters." Exactly. He walks in front of me and I follow him through the house as we reach his room. "What did you find out?" I ask as soon as the door behind us closes. The desperation in me cannot wait any longer, and I can't stay in here for long. "Like I said, it's best if you sit down first." Oh for the love of God. I walk over to the sofa he has in his room near the window and sit down. "I sat down, ok? Now tell me what you found out." I clap my hands together and then put them around my stomach as he comes to sit next to me."Are you sure you feel ok? Ive been told you shouldn't stress yourself." How do I explain to these people that they are the ones stressing me out with their dodgy behavior? "I'm fine, I asked for your hel

I did my best to pretend I didn't know anything about Alice and do my best to relax but lately, I have been having strange dreams that I can't really understand. I dont know whether they are memories or just an illusion created by my brain, I'd had to ask Domenic and I really don't want to. Since I stopped mentioning the past he has been more relaxed, and I didn't insist on going out anymore so he was less worried than usual. The wedding has also kept me occupied enough not to think about that all the time, picking a dress with a pregnancy belly however wasn't an easy task. Even tho my stomach was fairly small to my physique it was noticeable and the last thing I want is to look like a tent. "How about this one? It's like the one Kate Middleton wore but you know, more pregnancy-friendly." Alex said as she passed me the catalog from one of her favorite salons. "I like the sleeves, not so sure about the neckline." Or the thousand buttons going down the back of the dress. Why is simpl
