Alexander's POVI was about to go into the room but stopped when I saw Natalie looking out the window, her hand under her chin, it feels like she's away, far away.I went inside the room and stood beside her, and I know she noticed me."did you even grief?" I heard her voice but kept my gaze on the window just like she did."of course I did, I spent a whole month grieving, " I answered and felt her gaze on me."No, you spent a whole month planning revenge, there is a difference between anger and grieving because anger is just a small part of grieving, you can't just be mad and then be done with it, you have to accept it, " She said and I turned to her and saw her eyes are filled with something I never saw in them, hatred, regret, I don't know and I don't think I care."do you even regret it?" she asked and I immediately answered "not for a damn second, " she let out a small laugh."you know I have a lot of things to ask but I know you

Natalie's POV"Yeah, I have to stay for more days, " Alexander said on the phone and I was about to answer but he closed the line before hearing me out.it's been 3 months, 3 fucking months where Alexander kept saying, today and tomorrow and I was fucking sick of this, I'm going to ask him for divorce and it's not because of Matteo, it's just this marriage is not working anymore.and for the last month, I stopped sneaking because I moved out to one of Dominic's properties and took Lana with me, so I just feel free and Alexander didn't even put men to follow me, I mean who knows maybe he got himself a bitch to stay with him.suddenly my phone rang, grabbing me out of my thoughts I was about to answer when Lana pulled the phone from my hand."what the fuck?" I asked and she smiled at me."take a hold of yourself girl, play hard to get, " she said and I scoffed."I've been playing hard to get for three months, " I said and she handed me the pho

We were walking in Matteo's house yard after he asked to bring the twins with me, and if I'm being honest I really am surprised that he wanted to see them, given that half of them is still Alexander's, he was now helping Irina walk, since Charles Jr has been running around, he was able to walk so quickly that I didn't even see it coming."How?" I asked and his eyes met mine and he asked "How?""How can you treat my children like that even though you know Alexander is their father?" I asked him and he let out a small laugh."If I learned anything through the years, is to never judge someone by their relatives, and especially these children they don't deserve to be treated horribly because of their crazy father, and you didn't deserve to be treated like he treated you, you are made of gold and gold gets treated so carefully, " Matteo said and I just noticed that my eyes watered at his words.after what he said we went and sat at a table and I put both Irina and

"Sister, I just heard about what happened how are you holding up?" Danielle asked me, this is the first time she called me in months."Well, I mean Alexander is gone and that's a good thing but..." I paused and my eyes started to water."the man who saved me from this whole thing, Can't remember me now, so..." I said and started crying."tell me what happened, " Danielle said.(2 months ago)I was sitting in the chair next to Matteo like I've been doing since the incident when I noticed that he's opening his eyes, I quickly took his hand in mine, when he was completely awake, I looked at him and smiled.he smiled back and asked, "Who the hell are you?" I felt as if my blood froze in my veins at his question, and my smile turned into a frown.Matteo's family rushed to the room with the doctor, I got up so that he can examine Matteo.after a few check-ups and a few questions, the doctor asked us to come with him."he is ok

I woke up and looked beside me to find Matteo staring at me, I yelped and said "what the hell?" he laughed at me."I'm admiring, " he said and I answered "you're staring, ""it's romantic, " he said and I answered "it's creepy, " and he took a pillow and throw it at my face.there was a knock on the door and I heard Lana say "love birds get up, breakfast is ready, " and that's what we did.as we were having breakfast while Lana was playing with the children, I looked at Matteo, put my fork and knife down, leaned back in my chair, and said "I'm dying, " and he immediately froze in his place and asked "what?""I'm sick Matteo, " I said and he put his knife and fork down and asked, "what do you mean sick?" I sighed and looked away." I have a brain tumor, all I have left is six months, " I explained, looked back at him, and saw that his eyes are red, and a tear escaped his eye."and there is no treatment?" he asked, his voice was shaky, and I a
