A loud thud was heard as the makeup artist fell down on the floor.

"Princess,"

Tears made their way in his eyes, ready to fall at any minute as he stared at the angelic beauty in front of him. Slowly making his way towards her, "Princess," he repeated.

Blinking her eyes twice, she stood still believing that it was a dream, her Brandon, no wait! Her no more Brandon would never come to save her.

"Sofia," He said as he went towards her and hugged her to his chest.

"I am here, Princess. We are going to get out of here." Everything started to get blurry as she realized that this all is indeed true. Brandon is really here. But he took his time to find her. Maybe he's just here to give her the divorce? Yeah! That can be true because without getting divorce from Brandon, she cannot get marry to Ryder.

An evil laughter was heard inside the room as Sean barged inside, "Why are you here?" He asked Brandon.

"To take her back with me." Brandon answered as he held Sofia tightly, securing her under his arms.

"It isn't as easy as you think it is, loverboy." Sean smirked.

"And you're seriously here to rescue her? Are you forgetting that she's my daughter? The daughter of the murderer who killed your parents without showing any kind of mercy? Do you remember how I raped your mother? You do know you're an orphan because of me? You lost your grandfather because of me. You know very well that she isn't Sofia Martin or Maxwell, She is Sofia Williams, daughter of Sean Williams." Sean said all the event that happened in past, trying to push Brandon to blame Sofia for everything.

Past events repeated in Brandon's mind as he wasted no more time in violently boxes Sean's face. Suddenly the door of the room opened and some men came up and pulled Brandon off of Sean before he could get a few more fits in there.

"What the hell is going on?" Ryder came inside the room.

Sean wiped the blood from his nose and took out his gun, "You have 5 minutes to get out of this house or else-"

"Or else what, you bastard." Brandon punched him on the nose.

"Or else, none of you three will make it out alive." Sean chuckled.

"You ungrateful brat, you thought I wouldn't know?" Sean growled at Ryder.

"Now who should I kill first?" Sean asked Brandon.

Taking two steps backward, Brandon shielded Sofia with his body, "She's innocent."

"Too bad, I planned to shoot her first."

"No! You are not going to." Another voice said.

"For whatever you have in your heart for me, for that sake you are not going to hurt her or any of them." The voice said and Sean stood still. The love of his life came inside the room looking as beautiful as always. He was seeing her after 15 years.

"No! Alissa, you remember you left me. You cannot stop me." Sean said trying his best not to show any emotion.

"But my love can. I still love you, Sean. I really do. But what you have done with your own daughter makes me want to hate you so much but I can't, cuz what I feel for you is true. I left you not because Sofia was born but because you killed my friend." Alissa told him the reason she left him.

"Neither you nor your love can stop me." He said without glancing at her.

"And what if I come back to you? Will you spare them?" Alissa asked.

"No, mom." Brandon interrupted.

"No! Get out of here, Alissa." Sean said.

No one said a word after that, Sean's gun still pointing in the direction of Brandon and Sofia. The room was covered with more mafia people. All were pointing their gun at Sofia, ready to kill her whenever Sean commands.

"I don't want to be a mafia leader. You can have all the empire. Just please let us go." Ryder said to Sean.

"Like I said, here is the offer, you three can get out but this bitch can't." Anyone could see the pure hatred in Sean's eyes for his own daughter.

"And here is my offer, how about you say goodbyes to your loved ones, oh Wait! You don't have any loved ones." A voice mocked Sean, entering inside the room.

"Mikhailov," Sean growled and Xavier smirked.

"If you think you can hurt even an inch of my sister now that we are here then let me tell you, Bastard, you have hurt her enough and we will not allow you to hurt her more." Alex angrily looked at the man who he once used to call 'Daddy'. Indeed Sean was like a father figure to Alex but He was also the one who killed Alex's father.

"Look at yourself, Sean. Do you have anyone to defend you except these mafia men? You don't. No one here is begging for your life to be rescued." Brandon mocked him.

"Enough with this crap. I don't have anyone cuz alone I am the most powerful." He smiled at himself but one could see the hurt available in his eyes.

"Take Alissa out of here and make sure she's safe." Sean ordered one of his man but the man didn't move.

"I ordered you something." He shouted at the man.

"Sir, you're very powerful but I think this girl," the man pointed at Alissa, "is your weakness."

"I ordered you to take her out and keep her safe." Sean repeated again.

"We don't want this empire to be run by any lovesick puppy. Sir, you're not capable of running this empire any more and we gladly accept Ryder Hashtings as our new leader." The man said.

"Do what I tell you or your family will not live a day more to see you." Sean shouted at the man.

"Mama, you need to get out of this. We'll handle this." Alex said.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three gunshots were heard as Alissa's lifeless body fell on the ground.

"As I said we don't want this empire to be ruled by lovesick puppy. Now that she's dead, you can still....." Before he could say more, Sean shot on his head.

"Mama," Getting out of Brandon's grip, Sofia went towards Alissa's body.

"Mama, wake up! Mama??" She cried.

"Alex.... mama.... mama is not moving. Alex, what happened to Mama?" She sobbed.

"Shut up, bitch. This all happened because of you. I'm gonna kill you." Sean said to Sofia as he grabbed her by her hair and put his gun against her head.

"No! You already killed my mother. I won't allow you to kill my twin sister." Austin came inside the room, glaring at his so called father.

Sean froze as he saw the young boy standing in front of him, he looked exactly like him.

"Youuu... who... a..re you?" Sean shuttered.

"Sofia's twin brother." A smile made it's way in Sean's face. He always knew two babies were born. From 18 years he was searching for his son but he couldnt find him.

"I have a son." Sean couldn't be more happy. He has a son, an heir, a boy who he can make another leader.

"Now that my son is here, no one needs a shit like you." He said to Ryder.

Moving his gun to Brandon,"but first I'll finish him off."

"Loverboy, I am sparing her life but now my target is you. When my love is dead then her love also should be." Sean smirked at himself.

"Any last words?" Sean asked Brandon.

With a small sad smile, "Your prince LOVES YOU princess to infinity and beyond. You're the best thing ever happened to him." He wiped his tears.

"Nice speech. Now goodbye!" And with that Sean pulled the trigger.
