Alex's POV; it's been quite fun working with Amos and catching up on old times. His fashion house is magnificent, and my colleagues are out of this world awesome. From experience to behavior. Right now, I'm in my car with Mrs. Hudson, on our way to the hospital, for her monthly check-up. We used to do this when Damon and I were still together, and even now that we're so close to officially being over, she insisted that we keep the tradition, as one of our mother, daughter moments. "God's not dead! He's surely alive, he's living on the inside, roaring like a lion!! "She sings energetically along with the song playing from the radio, and I laugh at her energy. "You know this song? "I question, and she laughs. "Know it? I love it! "She exclaims, and I laugh louder. "I'm getting older doesn't mean my sense of music has to drop. "She replies, dancing to the music. "True. " I reply, and my phone begins to buzz. I pick it up and see i

Alex's POV; It's the second day after mother's accident. I'm in my living room, working on my newest piece. it's not perfect, as a lot is on my mind, but it's manageable, and I'm almost done. Damon was so close to getting under my skin. I've been made to understand that a woman is more powerful, and has more freedom when she doesn't have the responsibility of family to carry and is single. I can't lie to myself. I still love Damon. I've tried to stop myself, but I can't. I want to make it big and to do that, I need to divert all my energy into my career. I could have asked that we go on a break or something, but only God knows how long it will take me to attain the heights of success I desire, and it will be unfair of me to keep him waiting that long. I just can't do it. I want to be free. I love Damon, but I want to be free. I didn't think about this before getting married, but now that I'm married, and the idea has come, why not go with it.

I get to the venue Amos's driver brought me to. The Raven's Suit. It's exquisite and has an amazing glow at night. Coming to this place has been part of the to-do list at the back of my mind, but I just keep forgetting or never had time to come. Amos was going to give me a surprise, but I forced the name of the venue out of him, and partially, I'm not happy I did. If I didn't know I was coming here, I won't have told Sia, and she won't have dressed me up like someone going to some fancy gala. I'm in a flowing black dress that shows a lot of skin. It's a low-back dress that is open in such a way my whole back is out, and the coverage begins from the top of my bottom and flows down till my feet are covered. Then it has a slit in front, that starts from my right thigh, all the way down. I'm in gold heels and am with a golden purse. The sleeves of this dress are long though. As if compensating for the missing covering at my back. I thank G

Alex's POV;I stare down at Amos in horror. I stoop down beside him and my hands travel about his battered face in confusion as I don't know what to do."Oh, my God, Amos. I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over him. I'm... I'm so sorry. " I beg as tears form in my eyes. Damon was never a beast when I was married to him or when we were dating. The side of Damon I saw today, is one I've never seen, and hope to never see again."What happened here? " A guard questions as they rush to the scene. Tears slide down my face as they help Amos who's now weak, to stand.I battle to hold back tears as one of the guards calls for an ambulance.Damon's POV;I'm fuming with anger and annoyance as I get into my vehicle. I was brought here to relax, but now my temper is far into space.Why on earth would Alex be with another man!? What does he have that I don't!?

Alex's POV; I wake up to Amos's grunt. I slept sitting beside his hospital bed. He smiles at me, and I smile back. We're both just waking up. Sia walks into the room. with a cross shoulder bag, and I smile at her. Late last night, I told her about what happened and I didn't expect to see her this morning. At least not this early. "Sup, babe. "I greet with a raspy voice on seeing her, and she smiles. "Sup. "She replies. "Hey, hot stuff. "She greets Amos who's lazily staring at her, and Amos chuckles. "Just to be clear, I don't think you're hot. I'm just being polite cause of your current... situation. "She says, and I can't help but laugh. "I brought food for the both of you though. Had to sign a lot of paperwork to get it in. "She says taking a sit the sofa in the room, and my jaw drops. "Sia... "I call in disbelief. "You won't even find out if it's a sandwich before you get all teary-eyed? "She questions, and I
