The Broken Diamond 25- party time
soon, it was time for the biggest celebration of Jane's little life. HER FIRST BIRTHDAY!! Alexander and I planned a huge party and went all out for our little girl. we invited everyone who was a part of our journey. we even invited Alexander's doctors and therapists since Jane was always at every appointment as well as myself. the entire backyard was decorated in unicorns and rainbows. pastel pinks, purples, greens, and blues were sprinkled everywhere. the tables on the deck were covered in food from end to end. we had everything a kid could ask for. there were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, French fries, corn dogs, hot dogs, chips, fruit and veggies platters, cookies, cup cakes, chocolate and so much more. we even had an adult table with steaks, burgers, and pizzas. we had popcorn stations, cotton candy stations, BBQ pit masters, and, of course, an ice cream truck. Jane's party was more like a festival, and Alexander did most of the planning. we even ha
The Broken Diamond 26- the end of it all
after Janes amazing party, we thanked everyone for coming and all the great gifts. we paid the vendors and cleaned up the backyard. mean while in the house, my brothers cleaned up the mess Nicky made struggling against them. they grabbed her and took her back to the Romano house as planned. after everything was cleaned up and Jane was sound asleep I'd take care of that bitch. I was ready to get rid of that bitch. she endangered my child and my husband out of pure jealousy and psychoness. I may seem like a crazy jealous wife but she messed with the wrong one. after everything was cleaned up, we headed over to the Ramano house. my brothers had left her in the secret safe room. it was just the old wine cellar that we converted into a safe room when we were kids. it was soundproof, had various locks on both the inside and outside, and we made it into a tiny apartment. more like a hideout than a safe room. it was necessary growing up for us. not just from danger from the outside world
The Broken Diamond 27- ringing in my head
"I can't let you turn into one of us," Alexander's words kept replaying in my head as I lay next to him. it was no secret what my family was or what Alexander's family was. I grew up knowing about my family's business transactions since I was old enough to press the panic button. I was trained to defend myself and my family since I was fifteen years old. I learned to keep log books and lists of everyone since I was sixteen. I grew up to be one of them. why was Alexander trying to protect me from the one thing I was raised to do? was he scared? did he forget that I took care of his operations while he was unable to? did he really think that I was incapable of being a Branson? I was angry with him, but I also admired him. he was making me feel weak, but he was also trying to protect me from further damage of becoming heartless. my brothers and Alexander are not heartless, but the elders in our families were. the women and older men were heartless when it came to enemies and peopl
The Broken Diamond 28- finishing touches
the alarm blared in my ear. it was only seven thirty. we had to get up, though. today marked 4 days before the wedding. we had to get last-minute preparations done, pick up tuxes and dresses, and pack for our separation time. Alexander was going to his parents' house for three days and I was going to stay at my family home. we agreed to separate a few days before the wedding. our families wanted us to separate for a week, but we couldn't do that to Jane or ourselves. we'd all three go crazy. "Are you excited?" Alexander asked as he turned off our alarms. "I'm nervous," I whispered as I curled into his arms. "There's nothing to be nervous about, my love," he said, kissing my head. he rolled me on top of him, and I straddled his lap as he leaned against the pillows. I could feel his morning wood through our pajamas. Alexander moved his hips as I grinded against him. we began to kiss passionately when both our phones started ringing, and Jane started calling for us through the
The Broken Diamond 29- Flower Power
flowers everywhere, roses, sunflowers, daisies, carnations, tulips, daffodils, orchids, lilies, dahlias, gladoili, iris, mums, and so much more all mixed shades of red and yellow spread all throughout the house and gardens. the property looked like a florist fairy had a party. gold and red tapestry was hung and flowing throughout as well. everything looked like a flower fairy tale. I was a bit nervous it was all too much, but Alexander insisted on going all out. up the bridal suit, the girls and myself were getting ready. everywhere was getting hair and makeup done by a team of artists. we were all laughing and just having a great time. I couldn't hide my nerves for anything. but it was the moment we were all waiting for. my hair was up in a traditional curly bridal updo with a gold tiara jeweled with rubies. my makeup was also red and gold. I stepped out from behind the curtain and revealed my dress. I stood in front of my bridal party as they stared in awe over my white straple
The Broken Diamond 30- Vows
I gave the honors of walking me down the aisle to kal. my heart was racing, and my hands were sweaty. my big brother was there to steady me. I wasn't sure how I got to the altar, but all of a sudden, I was standing in front of Alexander. his eyes were filled with tears, and he was smiling at me like a kid in a candy store. you could tell by the look on his face he was fighting the urge to kiss me. all my nerves and anxiety melted away once kal placed my hand in Alexander's. we both had clay hands, but neither of us cared. we stood there staring at one another, smiling from ear to ear as the officiant began. "Who gives this woman to this man?" she asked. "I guess her brothers do," Kal laughed. " Everyone, you man be seated," the officiant cleared her throat. " we are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, the joining of two hearts. in this ceremony, we will witness the joining of Alexander and Karina." everyone was beaming with excitement, joy, and p
The Broken Diamond 31-honey moon
i tossed and turned last night. it was hard for me to sleep for some reason. i wasn't feeling well here lately. we'd been back for our honeymoon family trip for about a month and a half now. i slipped out of bed and headed for the shower. on my vanity laid a pair of leggings, one of Alexander's shirts, my undergarments, and a box with a note. *Take me, you're late* what was he talking about? I wasn't late... I checked the date on my phone. oh, snap. I checked my tracking app. I was a week late. I ripped the box open and hurriedly opened the package. I laid the test on the counter and waited. Alexander came into the bathroom and leaned against the wall. he looked at me and smiled. "Was I right?" he asked "I haven't looked." I sighed."I haven't even showered. "Well, shower, and then we'll look together." Alexander said as he turned on the shower for me. I was too nervous to take a shower, but I did anyway to hopefully calm my nerves. how in the world did this man know? what
The Broken Diamond 32- Shocked and excited
I sat in the waiting room, nervous and excited. it felt like hours, but I knew it had only been a few minutes. so many thoughts were running through my head right now. Alexander sat next to me, rubbing my knee and filling out some papers for me. I had filled out most of them, but he knew all the insurance stuff. "Mrs. Karina Branson" I heard a woman call my name we stood up together and walked to the nurse standing in the door to the back. I squeezed Alexander's hand as tightly as I could. "Follow me. we're gonna get some vitals and get an ultrasound before I take you to see the doctor." The woman smiled as she led us back. she was pretty blonde with hair pulled up into a cute, messy bun. her scrub top had hearts and pulse lines. her eyes were beautiful and kind, and I was jealous of her make-up skills and full lashes. the name tag on her badge read 'Eliza'. what a pretty name. "Alrighty then, let's get you to ultrasound." Eliza smiled and led us to dim room with a big screen
