Chapter: Epilogue The wedding day.I stood in front of the mirror, smiling broadly as I tilted my head downward and admired the beautiful white wedding dress that glittered under the soft lighting on my body.My dress, a long white mermaid dress, was decorated with white glitter. My long brown hair was styled in soft waves and packed in a huge bun pinned with sparkling hairpins. The tiny curls in my hair decorated my face as they rested on my shoulders.I couldn't believe that this day would truly come to pass. The day that I will finally get married to the love of my life. Getting married to Nicklaus and starting over again. Everybody deserves a second chance. Nicklaus, my mother Anna, and Nicklaus’s father.This is so wonderful.

Chapter: Chapter 193Elena’s POV:Its been a few weeks, my biological father had been buried of course without my step sister and my step mother. They had been on the run and nobody knew where they both were. Amelia had been our responsibility. I stood in the window and stayed at the whole city in my black dress. I had been mourning all day.I wished I spend a lot of time with my father. I wish I fekt his presence in my life. After a while, Anna joined me and she held my hands gently. “Williams, your father was a good man. You shouldn't blame him for what happened. He was blindfolded. Please. Find a place in your heart to forgive him,” she spoke.She exhaled deeply and continued, “I also need you to forgive me Elena even though I knew that I shouldn't have gave you up but I couldn't give you the life that you needed. I wanted you to have everything in the world. I was dying in poverty. You were sick Elena. That was the only way I could restore your health,” she explained and tears rolled down her eyes.

Chapter: Chapter 192Elena’s POV:I knew that I could keep concealing the truth fromNicklaus. It had already been confirmed. Nicklaus had the right to know. This is the best time to let him know. Tears rolled down my eyes, and I was not able to control them. "Yes, Nicklaus, Jason is your son,” I confessed, my voice cracking hard. Nicklaus was stunned, and he looked at me deeply in the eyes. “Why? Why did you keep it away from me? After all these years,” he asked, tears streaming down his face. I crossed my arms across my chest and sniffed, “Well, yes. I had to protect my son. I had to protect you from people like Sarah. You abandoned me. What would you have me for Nicklaus?” I spoke as he continued to sob.Tears rolled Nicklaus’s eyes, and he became emotional. He quickly found a spot to sit in so that he would catch his breath.“I had the right to know about it, Elena. Why did you keep such from me?” he asked.“I...” I began to stutter. I didn't know where to begin or what to say. I was in so much pa

Chapter: Chapter 191Nicklaus’s POV: My eyes widened, and I was stunned. That was when I knew that something was fishy. I checked the birthmark and mine, and it was exactly the same and in the same position.“This has got to be a joke,” I muttered silently. “Could it be? Could it be that Jason is my son?” I asked, but I shook my head and tried to brush it off. My blood and his blood were compatible. He is 5 years old. The exact time Elena and I divorced.Could it be that Jason is my son?” I asked myself the question repeatedly all night long. I didn't even get enough sleep. I remembered how he would smile at me. His eyes and his smile were similar to mine. His black curly hair. Noe, everything is beginning to make sense.If Jason is my child, why did Elena decide to keep it away from me? I kept wondering. I couldn't wait for the day to break so that I would confront Elena.Everything is beginning to reveal itself. I have to get to the root of this. I watched as Jason slept, and I made sure that he was

Chapter: Chapter 190Nicklaus lay on the hospital bed, but he was feeling uneasy about the whole situation. Anna saw him by the doorway as he struggled; she helped him out, “Nicklaus, you can't leave. You haven't fully recovered,”Nicklaus father arrived and was surprised to see Nicklaus leave. “I have to go help Elena. I want to be by her side,” Nicklaus spoke.“I am tired of being told what to do. Please get me out of here.”Mr. Coleman and the nurse agreed; they threw Nicklaus out of the hospital in a wheelchair. They got into the car, and after what felt like forever, they arrived at the penthouse.“Nicklaus walked in to see Zoey and Alex pacing around without Elena. He looked around, hoping to see her come out, but she didn't.“Where is Elena?”“She left with Sarah. I am still trying to track her location,” Alex said. Immediately, Nicklaus reached for one of my keys and rushed out of the penthouse. He reached for my car and zoomed off. He took his car tracker and tracked Sarah’s location.Alex, An

Chapter: Chapter 189I blinked my eyes open to see myself on the hospital bed. “Where is my baby?” I asked.“You have to calm down, Elena. The police are everywhere searching for Wave right now. We will get a positive reply in no time,” he said calmly. I shook my head and struggled with him to leave my hand as I got out of bed. “No, I can't sit here while my son is taken away from me; I have to find him. I am sure Sarah took my child,” I shouted.Nicklaus and Sam walked up to me and said, "Please Elena. Let's get home and wait for the authorities. You have to trust me on this, I assure you. We will find your son,” Nicklaus spoke, and I became calm instantly.“How can I go home when my boy is missing?” I cried out.I held onto Nicklaus, and my head rested on his chest as I sobbed. “I want my boy,” I cried out.Nicklaus stroked his hands through my hair. “He will be found; you have to trust me,” he spoke. “I don't want to go home. I want to wait here. I know Sarah will come back here,” I said. “It's fin

Chapter: Chapter 27Alex’s POV:The walk back to my room felt endless. Torture and killing were not new to me, but tonight it felt different. I felt guilty, as if I had done something wrong. Diego's screams replayed in my head, the way he coughed out blood and the pains in his eyes. The way he spoke about powers bigger than Vincenzo. In a normal situation, this should have given me satisfaction, but here I was with my chest carrying a huge burden and feeling regretful.And then there was Lillian.Her face lingered in my mind. Her quiet and pale face. She hadn't spoken to me; she wouldn't look at my face, nor did she beg me to stop. She had gone silent on me, and the silence is killing me. I opened the door to my room. It was very dark with a little reflection of moonlight. I sat on the edge of the bed with my elbow on my knee, dragging my hands down my face.For the first time in years, I felt remorseful.What have I become? My father wanted strength, and I wanted strength and power. Not this… this mo

Chapter: Chapter 26The underground dungeon smelt of dust and rust. It was a huge basement with bulbs flickering every second. Diego was tied to a metal chair at the centre of the room with wrists heavily tied to the chair. Alex stood in front of him, giving him a cold and angry look. His eyes burnt with rage, and his jaw clenched. His men stood at the edges of the room and remained silent. Alex slowly squatted to reach Diego’s level. “Surprised to see yourself here?” he chuckled dryly. Diego lifted his face, lips swollen and one of his eyes nearly shut. He didn't even have the strength to speak. “Sai perché sei qui, Diego?” (in Italian)“Do you know why you're here, Diego?” Alex asked. "Non è sicuramente un tea party" (in Italian).“It’s definitely not a tea party,” Deigi replied. Alex’s fist hurriedly landed on Diego’s jaw, snapping his head to the side. He leaned close, his eyes burning with hate. “You think this is a joke? After assisting to assassinate my father and stealing from me,”Blood

Chapter: Chapter 25The garden became silent with just me staring at Diego’s unconscious body. The soft sound of crickets became louder, and the clouds darkened. I took a few steps backwards, trying to catch my breath. Before I could gather my thoughts, shadows moved swiftly between the fences. Alex’s men appeared as if they had been waiting for the exact moment. Their movements were silent, and none of them looked at me. Their eyes were focused on the task. Two of them lifted Diego’s body without stress, as if he had no weight. The other man reached for my arm, and I followed him out of the garden. My feet felt so numb, and I couldn't say any word. In minutes, I found myself in the backseat of the black SUV, and we were on the road before we knew it. My mind was full; it was filled with guilt and hatred. The ride gradually became suffocating with each bump on the road and my body jolting. I wrapped my arms tightly around me with goosebumps appearing on my skin. Soon, the car stopped and the massiv

Chapter: Chapter 24Lillian’s POV“Wait!” I screamed; my voice cracked, and tears were beginning to gather in my eyes. “I will do it,” I said, feeling a huge lump in my throat. My mother’s life, her fragile life, flashed before my eyes, and my fist tightened. Her memories filled my mind, her warm hand holding me when I was a child. I couldn't lose her. “I will do it,” I said again with heavy desperation. My chest rising and falling heavily. Alex's lips curled into a slow and cruel smile. The kind of smile that made goosebumps appear all over my skin. He nodded his head gently, his gaze pinning me down.“You are with the drug. “You know what to do,” was said. I blinked my eyes repeatedly to avoid tears from rolling down my cheeks. I fidgeted, and my eyes turned blurry. “How… how do I do it?” I whispered; my throat became dry. “I have never done this before.”Alex’s face turned hard. His eyes became dark, and the smile on his lips disappeared. “This must work out. You cannot mess up. First of all, focu

Chapter: Chapter 23Lillian’s POV:The makeup artist arrived in the afternoon just as Alex announced. Brushes and powders were swept across my face. My hair was styled again, making it softer and wavier. When they were done with the makeup, I dressed in a silver dress. I looked into the mirror, and I couldn't recognise my reflection. Alex stood at the doorway, dressed in a black tailored suit and a white unbuttoned shirt that revealed his chest. His tie was loose, and he looked extremely hot. His eyes were on me for a moment even though I acted like I wasn't aware he was staring. I stood up, and the glittering dress flowed on the floor. It hugged my waist perfectly and glittered under the light. At that moment, I felt a little exposed but powerful. “Beautiful,” Alex complimented, his eyes scanning me from head to toe. “Thank you,” I replied; my voice was low. I turned to him, and my breath ceased as our eyes met. Immediately, he removed his gaze from me.“Are you ready to go?” he asked, gesturing

Chapter: Chapter 22Lillian stretched and stirred on the bed before opening her eyes to the warm morning sun. Every now and then, she closed her eyes, thinking about her family. She wondered how they were fading and how her other was coping. After a few minutes, she rolled out of bed and got into the closet.After having her bath, she changed into something simple. She walked into the living area, perceiving the aroma of fresh bread and apple fruit juice. Breakfast was already served. Alex was seated along the glass dining table; his posture was perfect, and his eyes were on her the moment she walked in. “Good morning,” Lillian greeted.“What took you so long?” he asked calmly, but his question made her uneasy. “I was waiting for you. Come. Let’s eat.”She obeyed, quietly sliding into the chair across from him.For the first time since she had been held captive, Alex wasn’t dressed in black. Instead, he wore a crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled just below his elbows, and light shorts that seemed so unl
