Phil Radoll was never in her radar when she thought about the people who kidnapped her son. In her mind, she imagined that her son's captors were one of those men who had messed up lives and wanted money to start their life afresh.

Beep. Beep. Beep. The machines around Seth's room sounded in rhythm reminding her that her son escaped death that too from a person she thought was family. Her brother Gustavo offered to come and stay with Seth while she got coffee.

She really needed it. She hadn't slept a wink afraid that any time she closed her eyes her son would disappear. Getting to the coffee machine, she halted just before the little room with the word 'Chapel' inscribed on the board above it.

The least she could do was thank God for her son being alive and well.

"I'm saying I'm tired. Tired of trying to act like a hero and ending up being hurt. I acted like a hero when you were in a mess look where's it gotten me. I'm losing my wife to him, she blames me for my son ending up here and maybe it's time I owned up to my mistakes. My son is in here because of me and next time maybe it will be Mick"

Roman's words hit her on her way in and she scoffed getting attention from both men.

"Mikaella,"her brother in law spoke up almost looking pale.

"Can you leave us, Kev?" Mikaella asked politely.

Kevin stood up from the wooden bench giving Roman a pat on the back. Walking straight to where he sat, she sat beside him.

"I'm sorry,"she started not really staring at him but at the altar.

"I deserve every bit of what you said and much more"

Mikaella reached for his hand, entangling hers with his.

"No you don't. I was worried, I was looking for someone to blame and you looked like the perfect candidate. It was not your fault...I implored you to go to work in the first place and for the record you will never lose me. To anyone. We are bonded together by not only our love but our son"

She smiled cupping his cheeks into her hands.

It was a simple kiss and yet it sent goosebumps all over her body. Electrifying sparks flew down her body especially when he pulled her bottom lip into his mouth. It was like falling in love with him again just like she did the first time they met. And the kiss meant so much more to her, that they were at peace. No more rough landslides, no more arguments and certainly no more doubts about one another.

In the next few days, Seth was discharged from the hospital. Chloe and Kevin were about to be married, something that brought joy to the whole Cervantes family despite the rough moments they had gone through the previous week.

Mikaella pursed her lips staring at her mirror, thinking whether she would ago ahead and leave her son for the night. Sure Seth acted normal but she was a mother and mothers tended to overthink alot about their children. Surely she could miss one bachelorette party just to say with her son, could she not? Sure Roman would be with him and she absolutely trusted him but a tinsie part of her still doubted Roman. What if he got a call emergency and suddenly left Seth alone? At the middle of the night?

No. They said they would trust each other and during these few days Roman had gone through a lot just to prove he was sorry...so she trusted him.

"Almost done?" Roman opened their bedroom door then closed it.

He leaned against the wall in this macho way that Mikaella loved tucking his hands in his sweatpants' pockets.

"Yeah,"she said looking for her mascara among the other accessories on her vanity table.

"You know, you could sit this one out. I'm sure Chloe will understand"

"No. No. I am not cancelling on her at the last minute"

Roman came closer to where she sat, massaging her shoulders that were hidden by a bathroom robe.

"Can't I entice you to stay?"

He leaned even closer bending to get a good lick of her neck.

"N-No" her voice came out shakily and she mentally slapped herself for acting like butter under the wrath of the scorching sun everytime Roman teased her.

He sneaked his hand in her robe, his hand traveling through the romper she had worn, to her bra.

"What about now?"

And again came a no though her center throbbed and throbbed pleading for some attention. At this rate if he continued she would have to strip all her clothes and get down on him on the bed right there and then.

The naughty son of a gun pressed her nipples through the lacy bra she had on with his two fingers making Mikaella to not only moan but to put her legs together. Leaving her nipples, he travelled south his hand stopping at the hem of her panties.

"What about now?,"his voice sounded so smug in her ear,"say you'll stay and we could have the night to ourselves"

"The night to ourselves?" Mikaella asked her voice so sultry.

"To ourselves baby," Roman replied.

Mikaella rolled her eyes slowly yanking Roman's hand from her robe.

"Nice try. Isn't Kevin coming?"

Roman parted from her.

"I could tell him I had plans"

No matter how seductive the plans were, she couldn't cancel on Chloe. Come to think of it, she hadn't gone to parties since what? A couple of months ago? And just because Kevin decided not to throw himself a bachelor party didn't mean the girls weren't going to have fun.

"I am going to the party. And I am going to have fun, Roman,"she teased.

"But not too much fun,"he warned.

"Mmmh,"she simply nodded.

Although deep down, she knew she was going to let loose. Drink booze to her heart's content, admire any make strippers if any and shamefully take pictures to post on Instagram so that she could tease her husband.

"Mikaella, you made it. Cute dress!" Chloe exclaimed, giving Mikaella two kisses on the cheeks like they did in Spain.

Chloe's bachelorette party looked beautiful, the sea blue binders hung around, the cute little gifts all around the one gigantic gift box placed in the middle of the room, the flickering lights, the wonderful music and best of all, drinks, lots and lots of drinks.

The black short dress she had worn hugged her body perfectly and was actually convenient at the party since everyone had dressed all black like little sneaky slut devils. The music got so loud and Mikaella walked to the dance floor dancing to the tune with a shot of tequila in her hand. Having never attended a bachelorette party she didn't know what to expect, heck she didn't bring a gift to begin with.

The sudden silence and the click of a glass made all the ladies turn their heads to the DJ booth,

"Ladies and ofcourse, ladies!" The blonde girl in the chiffon black dress spoke out raising her glass of champagne,"we are gathered here since my friend and sister from another mother is about to get married. Now I'm not one to impose but shouldn't the bride to be have a little fun before all the marriage gaba gaba hits her?"

And the ladies including Mikaella shouted 'yes'!

"So it is my pleasure to unwrap the first and the biggest gift in the room,"and she shouted and with that came the sound of confetti cannon and a bunch of men ripping the large gift box from the inside like a pack of hungry wolves.

"To you, girl!"

And behold, the men descended having nothing on but a pair of the tightest shorts and sleezy suspenders.

"Ooh...okay? Wow. God makes me forget that I have a husband," Mikaella said sarcastically taking a step backwards because of the guy shaking his naked body against hers.

"You wanna touch, I don't bite," the hot shirtless guy said taking her left hand and directing it to his abs.

And God! Not that she wanted to sound like a cheating wife but damn, those abs were hard, and smooth and covered with chocolate that she desperately wanted to lick. Or maybe it was the alcohol getting to her head? Either way, the party was doing her some good and the man rubbing his boner against her body made the night more exciting and thrilling.

Through her strained vision, she saw Chloe unwrapping her other gifts. One being a two piece black bikini that was rather too small.

"Wo-hoo! Chloeee! Cheers!" She shouted even though Chloe was far from reach and couldn't possibly hear her.

She grabbed a glass of the champagne dunking the whole thing in her throat like water.

"Hey wanna get out of here?"

"W-what?"

"Wanna get out of here?"

"S..ure. A-as long as you bring your A game," she joked and before the guy answered Mikaella was hurled onto someone's shoulders.

"This is why I hate it when you are drinking,"Roman spoke and with that everything turned to a blur.

To think that tomorrow she would still be a bridesmaid in a wedding.
