"How are you feeling Autumn?" Adam asked me as we were driving back to my house. "Really good, Adam. All of this will be over soon and I will finally be able to relax and move on with my life." Alice will become a thing of the past and I will be able to bring some closer to Leo's family, even if they hate me for keeping this a secret for so long. "I'm glad, and I want to be there every step of the way. Of course, if you let me." He says as he takes my hand into his and looks at me tenderly. How easy my life would be if I could manage to fall in love with him. but right now I don't see that happening. I think I'm better off alone for now, well not entirely. I will always have my baby with me. That is the only love that I'm thinking about right now. "Of course I want you in my life, don't think about going anywhere. Your friendship means a lot to me." He might have smiled at that but the look in his eyes gave away that there was more he wanted but he respected my space. "And what ab

"Nothing." I say, it's still not the time."You are obviously hiding something from me, are you sick or something? You turned very pale." Of course, I'm pale, my sugar probably dropped because I didn't eat properly in the morning."I just need some water and something to eat, I'll be fine." I said as I slowly got up."And you can leave, Domenic." He tightened his jaw and let the air puff out of his nose but he stayed still in the spot."I told you I wouldn't give up on us, even if you say you don't wanna see me I'll still be here." But why couldn't you be here before?"Besides I want to be with you while they take care of Alice, I'm sure if they took her accomplice she will know it soon. I'm afraid she might try something." He was right, if she used that guy to do all of her dirty work she would soon learn what happened to him and only God knows what more is she capable of."She will soon be over, Adam already sent the recordings and the files that incriminate her to the head chief of

"How did you manage to cover that up?" This was like an interview with murderers. I was feeling sick as I looked at the ground when Miguel tapped my shoulder and gestured for me to go outside but I shook my head at him. "Like I always do, I paid to have the tests altered and say what I wanted them to say." I had enough, I had to get out and show this to Domenic. His mother was innocent, just like me. And to think he spend all these years resenting her for nothing. As I pressed stop on my phone and saved the file I turned to Miguel to live but I knocked the vase that was behind me making a big noise. "What was that?" Alice said and I could hear her coming my way as Miguel jumped in front of me. "Go! Leave Autumn. Have Adam take you away." He said and I immediately went out of there as Alice came and saw me. I ran outside where Adam was standing by the open elevator and I rushed to get inside pulling him with me and pressing the button to go down. "Are you alright, where is Migu

Domenic's POV My hands were drenched in Autumn's blood coming from the back of her head as her eyes fluttered until they closed. "Autumn! Autumn! Autumn baby wake up, you can't leave me. I won't let you, open your eyes." I called out for her as my tears fell on her cheeks. "Call the ambulance, now!" I yelled at Adam who came rushing to Autumn's side. "I'm already calling, just don't move her you could do more damage than good." Adam said with his phone in his ear as he tried to move me away from Autumn. But the blood, the worm liquid that had already filled her brown hair was now mowing to her shoulders. "Oh my God." Miguel said as he rushed through the door and then stopped at the sight of Autumn on the floor. He took a cloth from the nearby table and rushed to put it under Autumn's head. "How did this happen?" He asked but my mind was still in a haze as the image of her fall kept rewinding in my head. "Alice pushed her down the stairs. I already called the ambulance, stay her

"Where is my daughter?!" Richard yelled as he ran into the hallway, behind him came Autumn's aunt and her children. "What happened to Autumn?" Her aunt asked but before I could say anything Adam got up and stood before Richard. "Uncle Richard, Autumn... Autumn is in a coma." Adam said and Richard's eyes widened in fear and shock then he looked at me. "What are you doing here?" I have no idea what Autumn told him about me, but from how he was looking at me I'd say he didn't have a nice picture of me. "Autumn was at his house when it happened, Alice pushed her down the stairs." Again Adam spoke before I even had a chance to open my mouth. It's obvious they respect Adam and are fond of him. "What? Why was Autumn at his house in the first place? You were supposed to bring her home after you were done with that man and the police took over. I knew I shouldn't have let her go." Richard said and Adam just looked at his feet. "She wanted to go to her house to pick up some things, Mr. Dav
