《The Billionaire's Proposal》Reunited

"Are you ready?" Adrian asks and I nod in response. I flatten out my beige and black laced dress as I step out of the car.
"Do I look good?" I ask nervously.
Adrian smiles down at me and answers, "You always look good."
I smile at him and he interlocks our hands. We walk into the restaurant and the doors are open for us.
"Adrian McKeller." He tells the restaurant receptionist.
"Right this way," He answers as he leads us to a table set up in the balcony. There were six seats set up. Adrian pulled a chair out for me and I took the seat after handing him a grateful smile. "I'll have a waiter with you right away Mr. McKeller."
"We would like to wait for our guest to arrive first." Adrian politely answers and the receptionist nods. He walks away leaving Adrian and I alone.
"I can't believe I am about to meet them after eighteen years." I confess nervously. Adrian placed his hand over mine and gives it a comforting squeeze.
"Everything will be okay." Adrian assures. "They have one hell of a daughter."
I smile up at him as he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I peck his lips and he returns the smile.
"Mr. McKeller?" A male voice asks from behind us and we both stand up and turn around.
"Mr. Zamora, it is nice to meet you." Adrian asks as I peek from behind him. There stood a man in about his late forties with a woman next to her. Same brown hair, same brown eyes. "I'd like you to meet my fiancé, Jane Hamilton."
Adrian smiles at me as he brings me to his side. The couple stared at me as their eyes widen.

"Hi." Is the only thing that leaves my mouth as the two pairs of watery eyes stare down at me.
"How are you...t-they told us you had died." My mom who was now in tears stated.
"Mom? Dad? What's going on?" A female voice asked from behind them.
Two younger versions of me walked out from behind them. They shared the same brown hair and brown eyes. Only that one of them had shorter hair and look a little older than the other.
"Who are these people?" The younger one asked.
Instead of answering my mom walked up to me and engulfed in a hug. The same warmth, the same feeling of safety that I had yearned for was there. Another set of arms wrapped themselves around us and he tears streamed down my face.
"My little girl, all these years and we thought you were dead." Dad stated as I hugged my parents back.
When we pull away my mom strokes my cheek as she stares at me with a smile.
"My baby." She stated. "You were torn away from us but now we found you."
"You have grown to be a nice young lady." My dad answers.
"Mom who is this?" The other girl, my sister asked.
"Caitlyn this is your sister." Mom answered causing the girls's jaw to drop.
The girl laugh and answered, "Hayley is my sister."
"Ju-Jane is your sister as well." I stare up at my mom with a confused look. She was about to call me something else. "We where in a car accident two years before you were born. They told that Jane had died but the doctors had lied."
"So, I have another older sister?" The younger girl, Hayley asks and Mom nods. "I have another sister!"

I let out a light laugh at her reaction. Before I know it I am engulfed in another warm hug. I was hesitant at first but eventually hugged her back.
"How did you find us?" Caitlyn asks while raising an eyebrow.
"I saw you guys on the television and I knew how mom and dad look liked. Their features I could remember but not their names. My fiancé, Adrian he helped find you." I answer. "If it weren't for him I don't think I would have ever found you."
"Thank you Adrian." Mom and dad thank as they give him a grateful smile.
"I know how much Jane has suffered with your absence and I did whatever I could to help her reunite with you guys." Adrian answers.

"So, Jane what do you do?" Caitlyn asks as we sat around the table.
"I work for McKeller Industries and an owner of Jacob's Industries but I am thinking of working as an artist." Not only my family seems surprised but so does Adrian. "I like painting ever since I was little and I have a friend who has been encouraging me to start my own gallery, hopefully after the wedding I can start on that."
"You'll have my absolute support." Adrian states and I smile up at him.
"Ours, too." Mom replied as she stroked my hand.
"So, Adrian you are owner of McKeller Industries?" Dad asks and Adrian nods.
"We have hotels all over the globe and are planning to establish two new resorts in France." Adrian answers. My dad seems impressed and I smile at Adrian.
"Hayley, what are you interested in?" I ask and Hayley looks up at with a smile.
"I'm in my sophomore year of high school but I am thinking of going into politics like dad." She answers.
"Wow, that's amazing." I state. "How about you Caitlyn."
"I am currently in my first year college but I want to go into the modeling industry." She answers as she looks at her empty glass. "I've actually modeled in many of mom's fashion shows, haven't I mom?"
"Yes." Mom answers.
"So, when is the wedding?" Dad asks.
"July 1st." Adrian and I answer at the same time.
"That's only a few months away!" Mom exclaims. "Have you started planning the wedding?"
"Yeah, Adrian's mom and sisters have helped me." I answer. "Which reminds me...Caitlyn, Hayley I would love it if you guys were my bridesmaids."
"Oh my god, I'd love to!" Hayley exclaims excitedly. I smile at her and then turn to Caitlyn.
Hayley gives her a nudge causing her to roll her eyes and answer, "I'd love to be one of your bridesmaids sister."
I give her a small smile.
"If you don't mind I would like to help you plan the wedding." Mom states and I feel my heart warm up.
"I'd love that mom." I answer causing her smile to widen and a small tear to escape her eye.

Devil's Lake
A suicidal woman encounters a man with a supernatural cure to her mental illnesses, but the mystery of who and what he is challenges her to consider the consequences of relying on his powers. It started with Alison's attempt to drown herself in Devil's Lake and ended with a hasty farewell as storm clouds brewed. Philip had claimed to be a childhood friend, but she has no memory of him. All she knows is that an inner tug kept pulling her close until he dared her to look him in the eye. And then-Zap! Her anxiety was gone. As weeks draw on from their only encounter, Alison finds herself becoming increasingly obsessed with him. Maybe if she drove out to the lake again, she'd find him, or perhaps he'd find her. That's what the new voice in her head keeps saying. But perhaps she only narrowly escaped. Perhaps returning to Devil's Lake is the last thing she should do. Perhaps a man who can compel anxiety away can influence the mind in other ways. This book is also available in paperback and ebook formats on Amazon. If you wish to purchase, simply search for "Devil's Lake by Angela Merlo."

"Who did you say she is?" Osman demanded from the man.The prisoner was shaking and pleading for his life but did not say anything as he got aware of the terrible blunder he had made."Answer me or I will end your miserable life right here right now" waves of anger was visible in Osman's eyes. He raised his sword intending to cut the man's throat."Stop" Arta shouted.Osman slightly turned his head to Arta's direction while his sword was still high above his head ready to strike. Arta's heart was beating so fast, she was frightened but at the same time, she couldn't see this monster kill one of her people and do nothing. "I am Shahzadeh Arta. The only daughter of King Darian." Arta confessed. Her voice was louder than normal and a bit shaky.Osman chuckled coldly. A devilish smile appeared on his face.In the blink of an eye, he cut the man's throat. Everyone was silent only a faint hysteric cry of a woman from the cage could be heard. Arta's body was numb. She was just gazing at the man's lifeless body with teary eyes.Osman turned back and after cleaning the blood on his sword with the prisoner's clothes he lowered his head and whispered into Arta's ear, "you are just a slave now".
