"Omg!"
"Deep breath, Natalie," Trish whispered as she patted her hair softly.
"I can't believe I'll be getting married in two days!" Natalie exclaimed.
She was sitting in front of her vanity mirror while Trish applied her makeup and dressed her up. They were going Christmas shopping today but they had decided to start practicing how she would walk down the aisle.
"Are you sure you wanna get married to Dante?" Trish asked.
Natalie took a deep breath and smiled. "It's all I've ever wanted so I'm sure."
Trish clapped her hands smiling happily. "I'm so glad now let's do a little marching."
Natalie stood up and took Trish's outstretched hands then she began to walk in her long heels.
"Walking with heels is it alright during pregnancy?" Trish asked.
Natalie frowned. "I'm not gonna let you guys ruin my day!"
Trish chuckled. "We're all looking out for you."
Natalie laughed too. "Well, I'm not an invalid."
"Glad you're n

They were still trying to decide which Christmas tree was the best especially since they were going to get a lot of presents today when Natalie's phone rang.She was startled at who was calling her in the middle of her shopping with her family. She was surprised when she saw her grandfather's number displayed on her screen."Grandpa?" She answered immediately."Hey there Princess, I'm on my way to your house," he said.Natalie frowned. "Grandpa?"He sighed. "Alright, I'm with Sean and he has something to tell us.""What? No, I don't," she heard her father's whispering voice in the background."Yes, he does. Don't listen to him, Natalie," he chuckled."Grandpa, we aren't even home," Natalie said softly, "You could go do some bonding till we get back because we're gonna be gone for a while."The line went dead immediately and Natalie sighed. She didn't want to deal with them now especially since she's just convinced everyone to sta

Ricco paced up and down as he picked up the bags he was supposed to go with when his phone rang. He was surprised to see Natalie's number displayed on the screen."Hey, Nat," he said."Ricco, where are you?"He frowned. Why did her voice sound panicked? "I'm getting something together, I have to give it to your grandpa.""Can you not go to see him today, it's kinda urgent," she said."What is the matter, Nat?" He asked curiously."It's Trish."That single name sent his blood into a frenzy as he stared at his phone and then placed it back on his ears."Trish? What happened to her?" He finally asked.Her words didn't sound too clear in his ears after a while because he couldn't believe them. There was no way in hell that she could have been through such a gruesome ordeal."I don't know but I saw how you looked at Trish and I decided you were the best person to call because you care about her," Natalie continued."Damn r

Dante took a deep breath as the car pulled a stop before them and..."Kol? What are you doing here?" Faustino roared with anger.Kol, the guy who stepped out of the car trembled visibly from fear as he looked away from the angry Don."D-don..." He stumbled on his words trailing off.Dante felt bad for the trembling 5ft4 guy standing with his black hair falling over his face. His eyes held a hint of fear and anger."Yes?" Faustino prompted, "Why are you here?""Ricco," Kol breathed out the name like it was poisonous."Ricco?" Faustino arched a brow at him. He was getting impatient with the guy who kept wasting his time on everything."Ricco did what? Fucking speak up!""Ricco sent me," Kol finally said.Faustino's eyes widened in anger. "How dare he defile my orders even though I warned him?!"Kol gulped. "He-he said he ne-need to do something.""Something more important than getting here himself?" Faustino asked

"Emergency!"Dante woke up to the screaming sound of Trish and Natalie. He flew out of the bed almost forgetting to put on his shorts.After making sure he was properly attired to face the screaming crowd in his sitting-room he went out to see what the emergency was about.His sitting-room was swarmed with different fashion designers instead of doctors just as they had screamed emergency.Dario stepped out of his room rubbing his eyes still drowsy from sleep."I heard an emergency, what's so urgent by 6 am?" Dario asked.Dante shrugged. "Let's go find out."They headed to the sitting room and saw Lisa, Trish, and Natalie all seated and looking healthy while the fashion designers busied themselves with work."Hi, Lisa," Dario waved at her.She acknowledged with a nod."Long time no see, Lisa. You look big," Dante said as he stared at her protruding stomach."You think I look big?!" She asked in a high-pitched voi

"May the souls of the faithful departed, rest in perfect peace!"Natalie blinked back the unshed tears as she saw the empty coffin being lowered to the ground to be cemented.She hadn't been able to find a body to bury and no one had been in a sane position to gather her ashes. But at least now, she would finally get a headstone where they could come keep flowers daily.She couldn't believe Lexi was finally gone but seeing the priest reading a lot of things from his Bible, making prayers and offerings, and seeing the solemn faces of everyone, she was convinced that Lexi wasn't coming back.Dante squeezed her hands as she walked up to the graveside. She imagined Lexi walking up to her and smiling telling her she's done a great job at snagging the hottest bachelor in town.This caused a smile to blossom on her face. She may have lost Lexi but her memory still lived around her. She wiped off the stray tears that trickled down her cheeks and smiled as they

Xavier headed back to his car ready to drive out when he remembered he had nowhere else to go and he was not going to plead with Jared and Sophie, not after what they did to him in prison and not after mocking him.Suddenly, he remembered the offer he had received and the person that can help him. He started his car and drove off to the house stopping in the driveway.He headed towards the porch and after knocking twice, the door was pulled open by a very drowsy Sean."Xavier, what are you doing here?" He asked rubbing his eyes."I'm sorry to come at you like this but I needed a place to crash for the night," Xavier replied.Sean eyed him curiously. "Did Faustino put you up to this?""Why would you even think that?""Because I don't trust anyone but myself," Sean replied with a shrug."Dude, just let me in. I'm freezing," Xavier cried."Uh, you were staying with my daughter in her fabulous mansion so why are you even here?"

"Mommy!""I can't believe these two slept together!""What were we all doing that we didn't stop them?""Do you want to know the answer to that question, my love?""Shut up, Ricco!"Natalie moaned and tossed around on the bed as she ran a hand across Dante's naked chest."Go away," she mumbled snuggling into Dante."Oh, she's up.""You all are making loud noises!" Natalie cried rubbing her sleepy eyes and sitting up on the bed."Can't a man and his woman have some privacy again?" Dante mumbled his hands slipping under Natalie's naked body that was covered by the blanket."Privacy can come later!" Trish exclaimed."You both are getting married in less than six hours from now!" Chloe added."We know," Dante and Natalie waved them off."You know?" Lisa asked startled."Yeah, this is just probably 6 am and you guys are here freaking out for nothing," Natalie chuckled."Yeah, relax. We've got a lot

Lights.The lightning was amazing, Dante thought as he stepped into the church and was blinded by the dizzying beautiful colors of lights."This is amazing, who did the decor?" He asked his best man, Dario."I have no clue, Celia organized a lot of things with the women," Dario replied."This is why I should have just let them handle everything and focused on making sure everything is safe," Dante said.Dario rolled his eyes. "Shut up and walk."The church choristers had outdone themselves as they sang with angelic voices up to heaven. Dante looked around the pew and saw the number crowd that was filled to the brim in the church.His eye caught Sofie and Jared and she blew him a kiss. He looked away with a disgusted expression."Who invited those people?" He asked."Natalie thought It was nice and wise to invite everyone at least anyone who isn't at the wedding or reception becomes a suspect," Dario replied."Hmm, nice thin
