“Damien,” Alessa called with her voice trembling a little and he tilted his head a little, giving her a questioning look.“I know what happened, I know what Bryan and his father did to you and I understand how you feel.”“No you don't” Damien replied.“I was in jail for years then I got out and was taken to a mental hospital for a couple of years then I really became crazy because of how I was treated. I got out and I realized my mother had died and my father was hospitalized because he had nothing and he was sick.” Damien said.“And all these were because your father couldn't just accept what his son did. He cares so much about his name than what he is doing to others.” Damien added.“I know then take Bryan then. You can do whatever you want with him but please don't hurt my kids.” Alessa pleaded and Damien stared down at Aria and Aiden. “You see, I didn't want to do this. Why? Because I love your kids and I love you too. Oh, Cara, you have no idea how much you all mean to me but th
Alessa poured herself a glass of wine as she ran her hand through her hair. Bryan was seated opposite her, going through his phone. It was noon already and they both hadn't gotten any sleep yet because they were waiting for Damien’s call. Miles couldn't do much, he couldn't find them. Bryan couldn't find them either. Alessa sent one of her guards to check up on Thane. He was fine but hasn't woken up yet. Alessa dropped the glass after taking a sip and sighed, she lay on the couch tiredly. Bryan watched her as she shut her eyes. “You can sleep in one of the rooms so you can be comfortable,” Bryan said as she moved on the couch. They were in his house.“Don’t talk to me,” Alessa replied without opening her eyes and Bryan nodded in response, mouthing. ‘Okay’ Slowly, Alessa drifted off to sleep. Hours passed and there was still no call from Damien. Alessa had woken up from her nap and was disappointed when Bryan told her no one called. It was almost midnight and still, there was n
Alessa opened her eyes and sat up immediately breathing heavily. She was drenched in sweat and breathing heavily like she had just had a nightmare. Immediately, memories of what happened came flooding in and she stood up, ignoring the little numbness in her arms and the pain she felt. “My babies,” Alessa whispered as she rushed to their rooms, they were gone. “Thane!” she screamed as she rushed down the stairs. She got to the living room and froze seeing Thane on the floor with blood on his shirt and he was unconscious.“No, no, no,” Alessa muttered as she rushed to him. She checked his pulse and sighed in relief as she felt it, he was still breathing too, he was just unconscious.She checked his wound and saw he had been shot.“Shit.” she cursed and searched him for his phone. As she found it, she dialed 911. She explained the situation and ended the call to check the time. It was four in the morning which means it's been about three hours since Damien took her kids. Alessa r
“I think you should leave, Alessa,” Tracy said. “Of course,” Alessa replied with a smile and turned to her kids.“Come on, babies,” she said with a smile and headed out of the ballroom with her kids and Thane. Alessa got home with her kids and fell on the couch, feeling so relieved. The Harts are going bankrupt, they were humiliated, and Bryan is sad too. What more could she ask for? Everything seemed so settled and she was glad. “Mum, so what now? Are we going back to Australia?” Aiden asked and Alessa sat up. She smiled at him as he moved closer to her.“Yes and you guys are going to be going to school on Monday,” she said and their eyes widened in shock. They both screamed happily.“But with a bodyguard. Not sure if it's safe yet.” Alessa added.“We are okay with that,” Aria said happily but she was curious about a lot of things.“What about Lydia and Brook? What will happen to them?” she asked as she took a seat next to Alessa.“Well, with the evidence I managed to give the
PRESENT DAYS LATER It's finally the day Brook and Lydia will be getting married. Everyone was talking about it although they found it weird. Why are the Hart brothers sharing a bride? It has been a few days since Damien and Alessa’s argument. Damien left the house and Alessa hasn't heard from him. She didn't bother to reach out to him, she needed him gone anyway. Alessa assured her kids that they were on good terms, he just had to leave to attend to business. The twins and Alessa were getting ready for the wedding. “Why is it only Aria that needs to do something? I want to do something too.” Aiden told Alessa as they walked down the stairs.“Because Aria was the one who saw Lydia, not you. You had your turn during the ball.” Alessa replied and Aiden frowned.“Mine was scary. Hers isn't.” Aiden replied and Aria giggled.“What's the point of crashing the wedding anyway? If you do it, you are helping Bryan. Since when did you start helping Bryan?” Aiden asked and folded his arms a
FOUR YEARS AGOTWO WEEKS LATER “Get the fuck out of my way!” Alessa snapped at Thane as he stood in her way. Their kids sat on the couch and watched them.“I’m sorry but I can't let you go,” Thane replied and Alessa groaned. “You are not thinking about this straight. You can't just walk up to the mafia lord and kill him. That’s impossible, he is the mafia lord for a reason.” Thane said but Alessa didn't listen. She tried to walk past him but he stood in her way again which made her yell in frustration. “It's a trap, okay? Think about it. You have been searching for him for over two years and out of the blue, someone gave you his name and you were able to find his location in a week. That's not possible, he is a ghost! No one ever finds him.” Thane explained as he kept trying to stop her. “Get out of my way, Thane,” Alessa warned but he kept standing and wasn't ready to move. Alessa was about to hit him when he grabbed her and pinned her to the wall. She breathed heavily and star
