RomanThe feeling of failure overwhelmed him. Failure to have been there for his son. Failure to have been there for his wife. Mikaella didn't want him to be there and quite frankly he didn't want to be there too. But his son was there and that gave him the strength to stay.He was a hundred percent sure that Marcus was involved with his son's kidnapping now seeing Phil Radoll get arrested for kidnapping his son surprised him alot."Are you okay, man?" Kevin approached him from behind."No. I'm not. We need to talk""Okay? About what?"Roman simply stared and emphasized on the words... privately.Luckily as soon as Phil got apprehended, Seth was taken to the nearest hospital, St Monica, to cool down his fever and any wounds that the lunatic had inflicted on him. Mikaella didn't want to leave his son's side as for the rest of the family members stayed at the hospital to act as moral support.Roman pulled his brother t

Chloe Grayson's POVThe D-Day, what every woman would live to remember as long as she lived, that is their wedding, no matter the number of divorces she had gone through.The thought of the church bells, a whole congregation of people watching her take the vows, the one time everyone would like her just because she had some shiny glossy lipstick and a nice gown white as snow seemed too overwhelming. And the whole- bride walking in slow motion thing to the aisle-terrified the shit out of her which was ironic because being on the spotlight was her thing both literally and metaphorically.But the best of all this, was that at the end of the day, she was going to get married to her Tequila. The funny, goofy, spoilt, honest and the most caring guy she had met. She imagined walking down the aisle her bouquet of flowers clutched in her hands, her hand held high, her favorite song This Town by Niall Horan being sung in tune and all while she stared through her veil at

RomanTorture. That's one word he would call what Kevin was going through. It was like thinking that things were perfect one moment and the next they were not. Not only was Roman worried by the fact that the bride hadn't showed up but also by the fact that Mikaella hadn't answered his calls.So to be clear, he was as nervous as his brother was. "Was the wedding too soon? Did I make her feel uncomfortable by rushing things?"Kevin had asked and Roman to be frank didn't know what to say. I mean in his mind, the wedding was a bit rushed, sure Chloe and Kevin were so in love but taking it from his marriage, marriage was not a bed of roses. Did Kevin need to hear all that? Of course not, that would tear him apart and he would somehow start blaming himself for Chloe not showing up.The thing about weddings was that, no matter how good they were planned, how good the food was, how spectacular the designers did their job or how lavishly dressed

RomanHe stood by the window in his study. He had locked himself in there since Mikaella's death was announced. Hearing the sound of a car's wheels crushing the little pebbles on his driveway, he glared outside watching his mother slowly open the door for Seth.They were all dressed in black. Their cheeks clearly visible of dry tears. His son hung his head low, refusing to listen to what his grandfather was saying to him. Roman's heart lunged lower to his feet, like gravity was somehow pulling him down and he, without resistance allowed himself to be pulled. To feel the pain burn his body until he felt nothing.It didn't matter how many DNA tests they ran on her, the charred body in the morgue he saw that day was Mikaella and God damn it, he blamed himself for it. One week past and he still locked himself. As punishment for Mikaella dying. She wasn't suppose to die. Mikaella-Mikaella was a good woman with a good soul who didn't deserve what happened to her.Needless to say, he blamed

MikaellaHer eyes fluttered open feeling the weight on her waist somewhat unfamiliar. Rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, she turned to the side seeing Marcus heavily asleep.Suddenly everything that happened last night came to mind. Every tiny detail inscribed in her brain. She was sure they had done that before. Countless times even but why did it feel like it was their first time. Like it was her first time to have an intimate, passionate and magical moment with him?....."Mmh...mmh. Rue. Baby stop" he had said between kisses but she didn't want to back out.Kissing him actually made her heart thump louder than usual. It was like an indication that her heart had longed for this. That she wanted it.He put his hands on her waist slowly pulling her back. With their faces merely away from each other, Marcus looked at her. Shock written on his face."I'm sorry. I-I thought that you wanted this,"Ruby had said in between catching her breath.His right hand still lingering on her
