After the meeting was over with Alessandro I got in my car and called my second in command and said: " Hello, did you found out where is she staying".

" Hello, sir, the last time ma'am and her friends were seen at the penthouse they were staying in but after that, there is no information about the, " He said.

" See if she went back to London and if not find out where she is and call me only when you have the information," I said.

" Yes sir," He said and I hung up.

Where could she be? I thought. Hopefully, she is back in London. I have been really careful about my enemies not knowing about her. But there is a possibility that if they know, they will try to harm her to get to me.

I hope she is safe and it's not what I am thinking. I will not be able to forgive myself if something happens to her. This time when I see her I will make sure to tell her about my feelings but I don't if she remembers me or not. Hopefully, she does.

But a question is eating me from inside where is her family? Why isn't there any information about them? I didn't investigate about them because I didn't want to invade her privacy. I want her to tell me about them.

My thoughts were cut short when I hear my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and it was Cillian. I picked up and heard him say " Papa whew ( when ) are u ( you) comin ( coming)".

" I will be there soon Bubba, is there anything you want me to get you," I said.

" No, com ( come) back soon," He said.

" Ok bubba, I will see you at home," I said.

" Ok bye," He said and hung up.

As soon, as I reached home, a tinny body, hugged my leg. " Hey bubble," I said picking him up and hugged him.

" I miss ( missed) u ( you ) papa," He said.

" I missed you too bubba, did you ate your lunch," I said.

" No," He said shaking his head.

" Let's fill your little tummy," I said ruffling his hair and made my way to the kitchen.

" Papa, you messed my hair " He whined.

" Sorry bubble," I said and placed him on the counter and took out the ingredients to cook pasta.

" So what did you do today," I asked him as I put some pasta in the pan and added some water.

"I played some time with Mrs Clinton and then she took me to park, " He said and rambled about his day and I listened while cooking.

After a while I was done I served the pasta for both of us and put the plates on the counter and picked Cillian up and placed him on the stool.

" Let's dig in, " I said sitting next to him.

He nodded his head and took a bite.

" Yummy," He said and I smiled at him.

After we were done eating I took our plates and went back to him and said: " Bubba today I will go to dinner in the evening, will you come with me or stay here ".

" I" ll come, " He said and I nodded my head. He then said " Papa let's go and play " and dragged me.

After lunch, I, my so-called brothers and Alessandro were left. Alessandro looked at me and said, " Baby it's been a while since you have gone out how about we go shopping right now".

" That's right twinny let's go," Leonardo said.

Before I could reject their offer Alessandro grabbed my hand and started dragging me out. Behind us, Leonardo and others were following. After we reached his car he opened the door and made me sit first then he got in and pulled me in his lap. I looked out and saw the others getting in different cars.

I tried to get out of his grip but no use so I gave up. He turned me towards him and said " Little love we are going out but you have to promise you"ll not try to run away it isn't like you will be able to but if you did remember that your friends are still here ".

I didn't answer me. He gently but firmly gripped my chin and tilted my head towards him so I was looking into his eyes.

" Baby when I talk to you or ask you something you have to answer me," Alessandro said. I so badly want to punch his face but refrained myself from doing so and said: "Ok, I'll not try to run away ".

He patted my head gently and said: " Good girl see it wasn't that hard ".

I just nodded my head and looked out of the window. After some time we reached the mall, my so-called brothers were at the entrance waiting for us.

After shopping, we went back. I was glad that it was finally over, being in their presence alone was torture.

It was now evening, I was now getting dressed just as I was finished the door opened revealing Alessandro. He hugged me when he finally pulled away he took out two small boxes from his pocket.

He opened the first revealing a necklace, which had an A&K pendant. He took it in his hand and said: " I got this for you, it will look good on you and proves that we are a couple, now turn around I want to put it on you".

" Is it really important to wear it ?" I asked not wanting to wear the necklace.

" Yes it is now come on turn around," He said. But I didn't. He let out a sigh and pulled me towards him and turned me around and put the necklace on me. All the while was wiggling but he didn't let go.

He opened the second box revealing a ring. He took my hand put it on my ring finger and said: " I bought couple rings for us and it's also our engagement ring ".

I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out. " Let's go down Vladimir will be here soon ". And started dragging me downstairs. I wanted to yell at him but I couldn't because I didn't want him to hurt my friends. After some time a man whom I presume was Vladimir came with a child. I don't know why but the name sounds familiar.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Alessandro say " Hello Vladimir it's good to see you again, here meet my fiance Kately Gonzalez".
