Natalie's POV
I woke up and I was still feeling yesterday's pain, I got up, took a shower, and went downstairs to have breakfast, everyone was on the table except Alex.
"where is Alex?" I asked and Danielle answered, "he is still asleep.", I went to Alexander's room and sat on the bed.
"Alex, "
"Hmmm,"
"Alex get up, " I said and he didn't answer, I looked around in the room and found a water bottle, I went and opened it and emptied it on Alexander.
he got up gasping and coughing water out of his mouth and I couldn't help but laugh, he said "Chto za chert " what the hell in Russian.
"you had it coming, the next time I ask you to wake up, you wake up, now come on let's eat breakfast, " I said and went downstairs.
we ate breakfast and went to our meeting room, to see what we got from Aria's phone.
"so Danielle what do we have? " I asked.
"Nothing," Danielle answered.
and we all turned to her and said, "WHAT!!"
"Dani, what do you mean nothing, we hacked the woman's phone, " Alexander said.
"I know but her phone was clean we got nothing, I just found a bunch of locations, useless phone numbers thats all, " Danielle said.
"give me those locations," I said and Danielle gave me the locations and something felt wrong about a specific location, it says (Eleanor's School) because that wasn't where Eleanor's school was, so I'm going to check it.
I got dressed and got my gun and started heading toward the door but Dominic stopped me.
"where are you going?" Dominic asked.
"I'm just checking a location," I answered .
"Alright, I'm coming with you, "
Dom look I might have been away for five years but I still know how to get a job done, " I explained, and Dominic said " okay go but if you something doesn't feel right call us and get out of there immediately "
I got out of the house and took my motorbike and headed to the location, it was a warehouse, I entered it and found bags, some of them have money and the others have drugs, then suddenly I heard light footsteps I backed out quickly and headed for the door but it didn't open so I went for the back door I got out and called Alexander and the team in one call.
"guys, the place was a warehouse there were money and drugs in it, then I heard footsteps, I tried the front door but it didn't work, I got out from the one in the back, " I explained to the team.
"Nat, where are you exactly?" Alexander asked.
"I have no idea I'm just walk__" I heard the footsteps coming closer to me and I started running.
"Alex it's coming closer, " I said and my voice is barely a whisper.
"don't worry baby, I'm coming okay, I got the location from Danielle, I'm coming, just keep running, and stay on the line with us. " Alexander said and I kept running.
I turned to an alley and it was a dead-end, I turned around and saw Jake in front of me, I said on the phone "Alex, I love you, I love all of you, "
"No, No, Nat stay with me, okay, I'm almost there, " Alexander said and he was freaking out.
"it's too late, " I said and remove the phone from my ear and tried to dodge Jake and run but he caught me and put a piece of cloth on my mouth and nose, he was trying to drug me, the phone fell from my hand and I tried to fight Jake but it was useless and I tried to hold my breath it was useless too when I couldn't hold my breath any longer, I smelled awful chemicals, I passed out in his arms.
I woke up feeling a sharp headache and tried to move but I was tied up to a chair I guess because I was blindfolded and there was tape on my mouth, I tried to move again and then I heard footsteps, I stopped moving.
someone removed the blindfold and I pulled away from this person, I looked up to see who it is, and surprise surprise it was Jake, I gave him a death glare and he smiled then grabbed a chair and sat on it.
"look I know if I asked to meet you wouldn't have agreed but that's not why you're here, " Jake said.
I glared at him again and he removed the tape from my mouth, I asked "what do you want?"
"revenge, " he answered.
"to who?" I asked.
"does it matter?" Jake asked.
"It sure as hell does matter to me, you killed my brother, you planned an accident to me, you tricked me and married me, I have to know why " I explained and started getting out my butterfly knife from my jacket sleeve.
he sighed and said "years ago your family, my family, Alexander's family were and still the most powerful Mob Families in Russia, my uncle, and his family were having the lead at that time, so in order to remove him from their way, Yours and Alexander's Family made an agreement to become allies and end my uncle's family so they killed them. "
I was shocked, I never knew about this, I have gotten out the Butterfly knife and opened it slowly and started cutting my ropes, and suddenly Alexander got out a projector and turned it on and I froze, it showed the villa where our team stays Alex, Danielle, Dominic, Ella, Roman, All of them were there.
"What, What is this?" I asked and fear crept into me.
"Today, I'm gonna hit the two birds with one stone, I'm going to make you watch your loved ones die, just like I watched my uncle's family die, " Jake said.
"why, why keep me alive, why not just kill me with them? " I asked.
"I will kill you but first I want you to feel it, I want you to feel that pain, " Jake said and held out a wireless bomb remote.
"Do you know why, why you, not Danielle, not Dominic, because it started with you and Nicholas, your father killed them so you and your brother could live, " Jake explained.
"Please, please don't Jake, please Jake I'm begging you don't do it, " I said and started crying.
"too late, Detka, " Jake said and pressed the button and The villa Exploded.
"NO!!, " I screamed and started crying.
This Chapter contains violence read at your own risk .have you ever died more than once? I know it's impossible for you but not for me because I died three times, the first time I died was when they took my brother away from me, the second time I died was when I left my loved ones, and now I died the third time, it feels like your soul is being pulled out of your body, or maybe it feels as if someone is holding your heart in his hands and in one move they ripped it out of your chest, I watched my loved ones being exploded in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything, I guess this is the benefit of living in a world like mine because this is what always happens, I watch my loved ones die.I cut my ropes and got up and sent my punch straight to his jaw, he fell to the ground, and I suppose we were alone here because no guards showed up.he got up and I stepped back, balancing my weight on my left foot, and threw my right fist out i
2 months have passed since the explosion and there is no news on the Andrews, Everyone is having a hard time understanding their conditions, Danielle is shutting everyone out, the doctor said this might happen to her, Dominic is holding up well, Ella is good but she is still scared to get out on her own, Roman wasn't damaged a lot and his and Danielle's relationship have grown because Danielle only talks to him, Alexander is by my side all the time and our relationship has gone back like it was before.I went to Danielle's room to give her some food when I entered it Danielle didn't even look up to see who it is, I put the food on the nightstand and sat on the bed, I looked at her."I don't blame you if you hate me by now, you're in this condition because of me, " I said."nothing is because of you sestra (sister), " Danielle said and gave me a comforting look."I'm the one who is supposed to be in your place, " I s
later that day after choosing the engagement party location which is in Russia in our house, we were sitting on the balcony drinking Nescafe while our maids we're preparing our suitcases, then someone rang the doorbell and I went downstairs to open the door.when I opened the door I found a woman with 7 years old girl with her, I said "hello""hi, are you Natalie Salvator?" the woman asked and I answered, "yes, who are you?""I'm... I'm Varushka Salvator, Nicholas's wife, " She said and I froze."but my brother wasn't_" she interrupted me and said, "I know he didn't tell any of you but that's the truth, please may I talk to you?""come in," I said and stepped away so she could enter the house, I led her upstairs and to the balcony, everyone turned to us."everyone this is... well that's what she said... this is Nicholas's wife... Varushka." I said and everyone went silent.
We've been having breakfast when I started to feel sick, my stomach was hurting me so badly when Mom noticed that I wasn't eating she said "sweetheart, are you okay?""Yeah, I just think I caught a cold, I'll go rest, " I said and went upstairs and to my room, a few moments later there was a knock on my door."Come in," I said and Varushka entered my room, and sat on the bed."are you okay?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm just feeling pain in my upper stomach, " I said."like a sharp pain?" she asked."Yeah, " I answered and she hummed."I know it's none of my business but I used to feel. this pain when I was pregnant with Aniyah, " she said and my eyes widened."you think I'm pregnant?" I asked."I mean maybe but you won't know for sure unless you do a pregnancy test, " she said and I answered immediately "how we can't get out of the house, " and the pain started to get sharper and I clutched
"I still can't wrap my head around the fact that you're going to be a mother in 9 months, " Ella said and I smiled while looking at the mirror while the designer has been putting the final touch on my dress for today's party."no one of us can, I swear Dominic kept asking me every 10 minutes if I'm serious when I told him, " Danielle said and I laughed and put my hand on my belly."there we go, you are all ready, Tesoro (sweetheart), " the designer said and asked Ella to come and stand so she could do her dress as well, she already done Danielle's, and I went and sat down beside Aniyah."hey, little one, how are you feeling so far, "I asked her as I put her on my lap while she was doing her homework."honestly I'm happy, everybody here loves me, especially Uncle Alexander, " she said."Alright now I'm jealous, " I said and laughed when I saw her confused over something on her notebook when I looked down it was a math operation,
"Kick him out, " My father in law said, or let me be more specific he yelled and slammed his hand on the table."We can't just kick him out, " Alexander said, and I sighed, this discussion has been going for hours, I raised my hand and said "may I say something, " and they nod their heads."I get it you all afraid of him, but let's try him for one week if he makes the slightest move, he's out, " I said and they seemed to think about and then they all agreed.I woke up in the middle of the night, and I was too hungry, I looked at Alexander beside me and decided not to wake him up, and went to the kitchen and turned on the light and I jumped and let out a yelp, Chris was on the kitchen counter drinking Vodka."Sorry didn't mean to scare you, " He said and he sounded half-drunk, I stepped into the kitchen and he offered me the bottle."no, I don't, " I said and he said "right, pregnancy, " and I opened the fridge and took some chee
Chris's POV I having a shower and I started hoping that Natalie has believed my act yesterday and I remembered my conversation with Jake.(A few weeks ago)...the bag was removed from my face and in front of me was Jake Andrews and don't ask me how I know him, I just do, he sat down on the chair in front of me."Hello Christopher, I'm -" I cut him off and said "Jake Andrews, "he smiled and said "you're keeping good eyes on your brother, " and I was confused about how did he know."I'll tell you later, now let's head to business, and before we start don't play the good brother role because I know very well, about what's going on between the two of you, ""you want your brother dead as much as I do, he took your place didn't he, you're 7 minutes older than him, so let's help each other, " he explained and I gave him a mischievous smile."nice, so the plan is simple when the right time comes you w
