**********************CHAPTER FORTY-THREE**********************BRINLEY."What will I be doing on the days you cook?" Carol asks, folding her arms over her chest. By the time the girl's day out ended, it was dark, and everyone went to bed early to get rest for the gala tomorrow evening. But I couldn't sleep and wandered into the kitchen for some hot honey tea, and it always helped me sleep.To my surprise, Carol was making tea. I guess she could sleep either."You can do whatever you want,""I guess I could help cook at the orphanage," She sighs. "Okay. You can have the kitchen two days and week while I help the sisters," "Thanks, Carol,"She nods and pours us a cup of hot tea, adding honey and lemon. "This should help you sleep," Carol says, placing the cup in front of me. I mutter a "Thank you" And take a sip. The taste of the honey lemon soothes my throat as it goes down, and I hum at the exquisite taste."Why couldn't you sleep?" I ask carol.She shakes her head."I often h

*********************CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR*********************BRINLEY.It's been a week since the gala, and I still hadn't told Xander that Mark Mortaga had threatened me with Dominic if I didn't provide him a female to marry into his family.I know I'll have to tell Xander, but when would be the right time to say to him?Ugh.Xander's uncle Charles is flying in for a visit, and to his great nephew, Xander didn't seem that thrilled about it when he told me this morning. I'll for sure tell him today before Charles gets here.Yes. I'll go now.I knock on Xander's office, and he tells me to come in. "How many times have I told you? You do not need to knock. I always have time for you,"I nod my head and take a seat in front of his desk. "Xander, I need to tell you something,""What?"I sigh.Here goes nothing."At the gala, I had a run in with Mark Mortaga, well, more as he followed me,"Xander frowns."What did he say?""That if I didn't have a girl, something bad could happen to D

*********************CHAPTER-FORTY-FIVE*********************BRINLEY.When Xander returned outside with Charles and me, the tension was thick. Finally, I placed a hand on Xander's should and gave him a warm, loving smile before excusing myself. I couldn't be near Charles anymore. He was making me sick just thinking about what he said. First, he killed Caliana so Xander wouldn't have her as a mate, and now he's trying to get rid of me. I didn't lie to Charles when I told him I wasn't going anywhere, I love Xander, and until he says he doesn't want me, I'm here to stay, and I will fight Charles with the last breath in my body.Charles has so much hatred in him, and he is so self-absorbed that he wants all his relatives to be like him, first Xander and then his pour son. I flop myself down on the bed and let out a sigh.How can I tell Xander that Charles ruined his chance with Caliana and that the curse did not skip him? But, then again, how could I not tell him?Why did Charles hav

********************CHAPTER-FORTY-SIX********************BRINLEY.I waited and watched as Xander and Charles stepped into the car from afar. Xander was giving Charles a tour of the orphanage today, and as much as I wanted to be there, I had another thing to do, something that I couldn't do if Charles were around the palace today.I dig through the freshly packed dirt to retrieve Caliana's box. I needed to keep it safe, and the Caputo kingdom was not a safe place to hide it. I couldn't risk Charles finding that amulet is too powerful for his hands. Once I got the plastic wrapped box, I ran to Xander's car and started the ignition.I knew one place that Charles or nobody would think to look for it, a place where it would be safe until I could put it in Caliana's hands.The Deluca Kingdom.Knox and Lucy were visiting her parents for the weekend so now was the perfect time to hide this thing.********As I pulled up into the Deluca Kingdom, I knew where I was hiding the box. It was m

**********************CHAPTER-FORTY-SEVEN**********************BRINLEY.ONE YEAR LATER...I never waited to face any of this alone. I thought that Xander and I went through so much that nothing would ever break us apart. But, if it wasn't for Charles threatening Dominic's life, if I didn't give him what he wanted, I couldn't risk him hurting my baby or letting that amulet fall into Charles's hands. Charles left me no choice; I had to run. I know Xander will never give up looking for me; I also know neither will Charles. Knox destroyed my phone and gave me cash to not have to use my credit cards. No doubt Charles and Xander would be looking for that. I didn't tell Knox where I was going. He dropped me off at a bus station, and I took it from there.Dominic is two now and is currently undergoing his heart surgery, and to say I was a nervous wreck would be an understatement. I can't stop pacing the halls chewing on my nails, and my heart stops every time I see a doctor in blue scrub

**********************CHAPTER-FORTY-EIGHT**********************BRINLEY.TWO YEARS LATER.I hold tightly onto the orange envelope in my hands. I do this every time. It's hard to let it go, but I know Xander wants to know about his son. I had so much to tell Xander. So much had happened this past year. Dominic turned three a few months ago, and I sent him a few pictures. Of course, I had him with a fake background so he could trace us. I told him how close Dominic was to the girl and her daughter that moved in with us.I didn't tell him their names, but I did tell Xander that I had been helping her because she was in trouble. Sofia and I help each other out a lot, and we both have to use Betty on most days, but she doesn't mind. She loves Molly and Dominic. I let go of the envelope and sighed. I begin my walk back home, a few towns over, and it takes me a while; sometimes, I catch a cab.Sofia and I moved into the empty four-bedroom apartment. Dominic and Molly have their own roo

*********************CHAPTER-FORTY-NINE*********************BRINLEY.THREE YEARS LATER.Things went from Dominic, and I was getting by to barely surviving this year. I no longer call Knox once a year. Cherry called after I left Hillispoint and told me three men threatened to kill her if she didn't tell them where I was.Cherry told them she fired me for being rude to a customer who was a lie, but it kept her safe.I broke my phone and threw it out of town before ditching Rubens's car.I hitched rides from strangers with Dominic for hours and days at a time.I know Charles will keep looking high and low for me; he wants Caliana's book.I managed to get Dominic and me a run-down apartment that looked worse than the one we had before.But at least it's a roof over his head.I got a job working for a lawyer in our new town Hopedale. It's a long way from the Caputo kingdom.I mostly fill out the paperwork or look over the lawyer's case files and make sure he didn't miss anything he coul

****************CHAPTER- FIFTY****************BRINLEY.The palace hasn't changed in these five years since I've been away. It's still beautiful."Mom, can I go explore?" Dominic asks."You can after I show you your room," I nod.Kyle stops at the staircase and turns toward me."Xander just asked if you could meet him in his office," Kyle says."I can after I show the kids their rooms," I pause. "Unless Xander doesn't want us to stay?"Kyle shakes his head."This is your home, Brinley; pick any rooms you will like,""Dominic's old room is still there," He adds."I want the room across from the rooms with the adjoining doors. In case my little one gets scared, she can run into Dominic's room,""Okay," Kyle nods.****"Dominic, don't go too far. I have to talk to your father. I will be right back. Let your sister sleep," I tell him, and Dominic nods.I walk downstairs to Xander's office and knock on his door."Come in," His deep raspy voice is as I remember.I open the door and walk i
