Suddenly, Natalie realized who this girl was as Chloe engulfed her in a hug. She had to stop modeling a long time ago but she didn't give up on her diet or training.Ava walked up to her, her sea-green eyes shimmering with joy. Her long black hair was flowing down her back and she was dressed in a fitted blue gown.Her black heels added height to her 5ft6 and she walked with confidence with her head held high. She was the perfect epitome of a confident woman and she was just twenty.The guy walking beside her holding Chloe's hands was Daniel, another adopted child of Lisa and her late father. He wasn't wearing his glasses like when he was eight and he didn't look nerdy.Except for the fact that he had just gotten admission into Harvard University which still reminded her that he was a smart kid.He was dressed in black trousers and a white T-shirt. He wore a casual style and styled his hair but he still looked handsome.Natalie stared at her daugh

"We're family too right? Wait let's join in the cake cutting."The silvery voice of the woman smirking and still standing at the doorway jolted her to her senses."What...who...how?" She stumbled on her words as she stared at the woman standing in the doorway."Oh dear, this family have no manners. They can't even invite me in," the woman groaned.Natalie couldn't move as she stood rooted to a spot. She had no idea what was going on or who had invited this woman."Don't take another step into this house!"Natalie gasped as Noah stepped out of the crowd and stood before the woman."Dear Noah, you've grown into a man," the woman chuckled."What are you doing here, Sophie? You should be ashamed to show your face here!" Noah snapped."Yes after all you've put this family through how dare you to show your face at such a joyous occasion?!" Chloe yelled standing beside Noah."Oh If it isn't my dearest Chloe. I missed you too," Sop

Sophie stared at the people before her, a small smile tugging on her lips. She had planned this perfectly. After letting Natalie live in peace for ten years this was only a small price that she could pay.She would make sure that Natalie and the rest of her family members know who she is and now she was back here, she had no intentions of ever living in this house."Mom, why are we standing here?" Her son asked.She smiled at him then smirked at the rest of the family members. "We are waiting for them to get used to seeing us so they would know that we are living in this same mansion with them."She stared at the horrified looks on their faces. Dario and Trish looked like they wanted to murder her, Faustino looked so furious as angry veins appeared on his forehead she was scared they would pop.Ava, Daniel, Chloe, Claire, and Noah were all huddled together discussing what she couldn't hear. Lisa and Jeff stood at the other end while she wept silently.

"Natalie, please open up!"Natalie took a step back from the door that was constantly banged on by Dante."Baby, please talk to me. Don't do anything rash!"A tear slipped down her cheeks as she stared at the closed door. She hated how broken his voice sounded, he shouldn't be this sad, he should be strong. Like how he has always been.What will she do now if her strength becomes weak now?No! She won't let that happen, she vowed as she rushed to the door trying to pull it open when her mind reminded her that he was the reason why she was going crazy!But she can't stay away from him for much longer, she reasoned with herself."I love you, Natalie. I'm sorry."Her heart broke into pieces. He was crying, her strong husband was crying because of her. But...he-he hurt her and made her cry too.He was the reason why she would never have a child again!The flower vase on her nightstand, the same one Dante had given her this morning came crashing down breaking into tiny pieces."Natalie! Are

Natalie opened her eyes and shut them back wincing in pain as the sun rays filtered into the room momentarily making the whole world go blind for a split second.When she tried to open her eyes again, she wasn't assaulted by the bright light instead she shielded her eyes with the blankets.Her head felt so heavy and she had a massive headache almost like a hangover. She was sure her eyes were swollen too with the way they itched and hurt.She tried sitting up on the bed but it was impossible as a wave of dizziness hit her. Her wrists hurt like hell and there was a bitter taste in her mouth.The events of what had happened last night floated in her mind and she found the tears stinging in her eyes again.She glanced at the clock sitting on her nightstand and then her phone. She had been unconscious for two days?What had happened within that time frame? She wondered. Did Dante accept Sophie and Kol as his new family while he kicked her to the curb?She heard loud voices outside and it s
