"I have to admit it when my sister told me that you're alive, I couldn't believe it," Alexander said to me but I was still too shocked to say anything.
"you thought you could just hide forever, start some fresh life," Alexander said and I met his gaze.
"I" I wanted to say something, anything but couldn't find anything to explain myself, I always thought about the moment my father finds me, but I never thought about the moment when Alex will ever find me.
"How could you? you tricked all of us, you did something none of us ever thought you had it on you." Alexander said his voice is filled with hurt.
"I had my reasons," I said.
"you had your reasons, what reasons on earth would make a human fake their death?" he asked.
"fear, fear from death, fear from a dark life, fear from a life filled with pain," I said, my voice was shaking but I pulled my self together.
Alexander seemed to think about it but before he could say anything, Ella knocked on the door and I told her to come in.
" Mrs. Andrews." I glared at Ella and she corrected herself immediately.
"Tasha, Nancy is here and she's asking for an urgent meeting, she's in the conference room," Ella told me.
before I could respond I heard Nancy yelling my name and she arrived at my office.
"What is this Nancy?" I asked and glared at her.
"what?" she asked stupidly.
"you yelling my name all over the building, why don't you come and sit in my place?" I said and pointed to my chair.
"I" I interrupted her and said, "don't give me empty explanations, tell me why are you here?"
"I'm here to tell you that our new partner has arrived today." she said.
"Alright, thank you Nancy now you can go back to work," I said and Nancy left.
"didn't know I was that famous," Alexander said and laughed and I got what he meant.
"no way," I said.
"did you think that I would just let you live your life," Alexander said.
"one question at a time, since when did you know I was alive?"
"1 year." and with that Alexander left my office.
I went back to my house, took a shower, laid down on the couch and I fell asleep.
5 years ago
I woke up feeling an unbelievable pain, I heard the sound of the heart monitor, I looked around myself and realized I wasn't in a hospital, memories started coming back to me, the accident, someone pulling me out of the car.
someone entered the room and said, "Natalie how are you feeling?" I heard Marco's voice and felt safe, he was one who helped me in my escape plan.
"what do you think?" I asked.
"right, look Natalie I have to tell you something," Marco said.
"before you tell me anything, were you behind the accident?"
"No, it wasn't me," Marco said.
"Natalie look I need you to stay calm, okay?" Marco said and his anxiety was obvious.
"what is it?" I asked and started getting scared.
Marco held a mirror in front of me and I saw a long scar on my face, I touched it.
Present Day
I woke up at the sound of my door being cracked open, I hurried and got my pistol out of the drawer and stood behind a wall, waiting for the person who entered my house to appear.
when the shadow was close to me I got out and pointed my pistol at... my... family, right in front of me was my family, my father smiled and said "I taught you well Daughter, "
I put my pistol down and stared at them, I looked at my mother who looked full of pain, Dominic was just shocked and Danielle was as shocked as Dominic but my father was just smiling as if he was proud of me.
I went and stood in front of my mother and said "Mom." but before I could finish she slapped me, my mom slapped me for the first time.
"how could do this to us, how could you?" my mom said.
"Veronica, you'll have plenty of time to talk with Natalie, or should I say Natasha?" dad said
"honestly Tasha is fine," I answered.
"so aren't you going to invite us in, I'd like to see your house," Danielle said.
I invited them in, and we all sat in my living room in front of the fireplace, I mean it's winter and it was snowing outside.
"So how long did you know?" I asked dad.
"since the accident day," he said.
"WHAT!" we all said at the same time.
"you knew from the beginning and didn't stop me," I said
"you wanted out, so I gave you out," he said and started eating from the cookies on the table.
"you made these yourself, right?" he asked.
"Yeah, but let me guess now you want me in again, am I right dad?" I said knowing the answer already.
"to be honest, yes I mean you're still the Mafia Princess." my dad said and when I was about to answer the doorbell rang I went and opened the door.
"good evening, Tasha." Alexander was standing with his father and sister.
"good evening Alex," I answered.
"we'd like to talk to your father." He said.
To be continued
"you wanted to talk so talk," I said."you're the last person to give us orders, you manipulative__ " Emily Alexander's sister said and I interrupted her and threatened "hey did you forget that you're in my house, so you better speak with respect or else."Emily was about to talk again but her father held his hand and shut her up, before they could talk my phone rang I picked it up and it was jake, my husband, I answered it."baby," I said and everyone looked at me with wide eyes."Babe, hi how are you!" jake said."I'm fine, when are you coming back? Eleanor can't stop asking me that question," I said."yeah about that." Jake paused."I have to stay in Paris for another week," he answered."what why weren't you supposed to come back tomorrow," I said."yeah I know but in order to get everything we need to the labs I had to stay, I hope you're not mad at me," he said."Jake don't be stupid why would I be mad at you, everyth
"Shhh, I'll remove my hand but you won't scream, if you do the consequences will be bad, " Alexander said and dug the gun more in the back of my head."you understand?" Alexander asked.I nodded my head and he slowly removed the gun and his hand away."Why are you here? and what did you do to Jake?" I asked my voice is shaking but I didn't care."I'm here because I want to be here, and your precious Jake has gone to the lab that was set on fire," Alexander answered and started exploring the room."what do you want?" I asked."who is Jake Andrews?" Alexander asked while looking at a photo on mine and Jake's wedding."you want to convince me that you couldn't know who he is?" I asked humorously."I did my research and found that he is a billionaire businessman," Alexander said and sat on a chair beside the bed."then why are you asking me?""because sweetheart I need to know how did he become a billionaire," Alexan
I woke up on the sound of heart monitor again, I recalled everything that happened, the note, gas bombs, getting shot. I looked around me and found Alexander sitting beside me and I tried to sit up but Alexander stopped me immediately."stop, Natalie don't move, don't push your luck. " Alexander said."what are you doing here?" I asked Alexander."I saved your life, after the shooting I brought you here," Alexander said."Jake, Nick, Eleanor where are they?" I asked."The brothers are nowhere to be found, and the little girl is with this Ella of yours, " Alexander answered."thank God," I said."now do you believe me? do you believe that your husband is just as dirty as us? " he said and took a lock of my hair in his hand."That depends on who's us, " I said.Alexander laughed and said "me, you, your family, my family, every single one of us is dirtier than the other, ""then why save me?" I asked and
"All this time, I thought it was a car accident, " Danielle said while she was crying."Yeah, me too, " I hugged her, for the first time in five years I hugged my sister again."we'll make them pay, right?" Danielle asked and looked at me like she used before, the look of believing in me as a big sister and I nodded and hugged her again.I waited until Danielle calmed down and slept, I went to the balcony and dialed ...after the fourth ring he answered and I said " can we meet?"I went out and headed to the park and waited, 10 minutes later Alexander showed up and sat beside me."you were right," I said and fought back the tears that threaten to fall."About?" Alexander asked."He killed my brother, Alex, he killed my big brother, Jake killed him," I said and cried.Alexander looked at me and anger and saddens were obvious in his eyes and I got up and started pacing around."It hurts, it hur
"you're still alive, " I said with a smile, and I really felt that I'm back to who I was before, the strong, bad girl."you are still my wife, " Jake said and grabbed my arm and squeezed.I released my arm from his grip and said "no Jake, Natasha Andrews is your wife and I'm Natalie Salvator,""How did you turn Roman on me, " Jake asked. "Detka," I said baby in Russia and continued "Roman wasn't even with you, ""He was your father's man wasn't he?" Jake asked and looked hurt. "look, I don't blame you, I didn't know till a week ago, " I said and smirked."so you're back with Knight," Jake said. "what can I say, I suppose true love never dies, " I said. I remembered who told me this... Nicholas, I looked at Jake and asked "why did you kill him. "before he can answer Alexander entered the restroom and his gaze was on Jake, he came and stood in front of me, he really was like a knight in sh
Natalie's POVI woke up and I was still feeling yesterday's pain, I got up, took a shower, and went downstairs to have breakfast, everyone was on the table except Alex."where is Alex?" I asked and Danielle answered, "he is still asleep.", I went to Alexander's room and sat on the bed."Alex, ""Hmmm,""Alex get up, " I said and he didn't answer, I looked around in the room and found a water bottle, I went and opened it and emptied it on Alexander.he got up gasping and coughing water out of his mouth and I couldn't help but laugh, he said "Chto za chert " what the hell in Russian."you had it coming, the next time I ask you to wake up, you wake up, now come on let's eat breakfast, " I said and went downstairs.we ate breakfast and went to our meeting room, to see what we got from Aria's phone."so Danielle what do we have? " I asked."Nothing," Danielle answered.
This Chapter contains violence read at your own risk .have you ever died more than once? I know it's impossible for you but not for me because I died three times, the first time I died was when they took my brother away from me, the second time I died was when I left my loved ones, and now I died the third time, it feels like your soul is being pulled out of your body, or maybe it feels as if someone is holding your heart in his hands and in one move they ripped it out of your chest, I watched my loved ones being exploded in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything, I guess this is the benefit of living in a world like mine because this is what always happens, I watch my loved ones die.I cut my ropes and got up and sent my punch straight to his jaw, he fell to the ground, and I suppose we were alone here because no guards showed up.he got up and I stepped back, balancing my weight on my left foot, and threw my right fist out i
2 months have passed since the explosion and there is no news on the Andrews, Everyone is having a hard time understanding their conditions, Danielle is shutting everyone out, the doctor said this might happen to her, Dominic is holding up well, Ella is good but she is still scared to get out on her own, Roman wasn't damaged a lot and his and Danielle's relationship have grown because Danielle only talks to him, Alexander is by my side all the time and our relationship has gone back like it was before.I went to Danielle's room to give her some food when I entered it Danielle didn't even look up to see who it is, I put the food on the nightstand and sat on the bed, I looked at her."I don't blame you if you hate me by now, you're in this condition because of me, " I said."nothing is because of you sestra (sister), " Danielle said and gave me a comforting look."I'm the one who is supposed to be in your place, " I s
