Chapter Sadness
Natalie's jaw drops in shock listening to her decision, she knows very well how much of emotional and stupid her best friend is, especially when it is about her own love life. Natalie throws her head in her hands and exhaled, she needs the
strength to handle the situation which two stupid people have created.
'What about kids?' she asked her, glaring at her who was now dragging the suit case after she find it in the last portion of the wardrobe.
'What do you mean what about kids? They are my kids, I gave birth to them and raise them all these years so it is obvious they will move with me' Natalie pursed her lips, debating on what she should say and what she shouldn't. 'You are just acting crazy Autumn. Think calmly, kids have found their biological father and their father is not just an ordinary man, he is a billionaire' Natalie said to her but Autumn cut her in between.
'Yes, he is not ordinary man, instead he is a mafia man, a damn killer' she gritted her teeth in rage.
'What's bad in it? Mafia is also a business it is just that it's not legal' Natalie shrugged her shoulders, she knew it will not be easy for her so very good friend but now her kids and her future is combined with him and she should make the space to accept this truth.
'What are you talking Natalie? He is a killer, he kills innocent people' Natalie sighed, she was always stubborn and not listen to her and in end get hurts.
'Oh come on Autumn, we human being are never innocent except kids, we all are villain in someone else's story' Autumn crossed her hands on her chest and listened to her friend, she accepted that her views were not wrong but she can't live with a man whose job is to kill the people.
'I am afraid he will drag boys in this mess too in future' she expressed her fear, Natalie nodded as if she understood her concern, she stood up from the bed and get close to her, holding her by the shoulders and looking directly into her eyes. 'Autumn! I am your best friend and we have been together from many years, we have seen each other's up and down as well and I will never want bad for you and I am hoping that you trust me and my intentions' Autumn's gaze fall in guilt. 'I trust you Nat, you are the only family I have' Natalie smiled at her.
'Great! Now listen to me, don't make any rash decision that you will regret later, beautiful fate is knocking on your door and you should open up your doors welcoming to it rather than standing in fears and dilemmas. Sometimes bitter truths turn into happiness and most of the times sweet lies end up leaving you in pain' Autumn bit her lower lip.
'You have experienced sweet lie, why afraid of giving a try to bitter truth. Alessandro is a nice man, he loves you and kids. His family has welcomed us and recognized your position immediately, they have given you respect so why you don't give him a chance to explain you everything about himself and for once Autumn trust him, he is consistently asking you to trust him' in the end she pleaded.
'It will be difficult Nat' she tried to argue with her friend but Natalie interrupted her.
'Not more than living without him and seeing your kids being sad and missing their father's presence in their life, when they know him very well.' Autumn slumped down on the bed and start thinking on what her friend had told her.
'Take your time to think and decide. I will send your dinner in the room' Natalie gave a last glance at her friend's torn appearance, feeling sad though but she wanted her to make a decision and a wise decision this time.
'Daddy, when will you bring us here next time?' Logan asked from his father, who was now driving back to home after he had shown him this new place.
'We can come here tomorrow but first I have to discuss this from your mother' his answer turned the excited faces of twins in to sadness.
'She will never allow you to bring us here' Ethan commented, Alessandro gave a glance to them through rear view mirror. They were right, Autumn was a strict mother who wanted her kids to be perfect in terms of manner and studies. 'Don't worry champ, daddy will convince her' he gave them a hope.
'Really daddy?' they both jumped on the seat in excitement.
'Yes young man, daddy will never lie to you' he assured his kids and they grinned widely.
'You are world best daddy' Ethan leaned ahead and kissed him on the cheek.
'And here we reached to home' at the horn of car, guard open the huge gates of the villa, letting his Audi to drove in. He parked his car at his spot and hopped out of the car, helping the kids in exiting the car.
'You guys have reached to perfect time, dinner is ready' hearing the horn, butler immediately rushed to welcome Martinis.
'Let's have dinner first then' he motioned the kids to walk to dining room and they didn't wait as they were already hungry, shouting for their mommy that they are home.
Alessandro smiled at their urge to meet their mom, he followed them hoping to see her on the dining table but as three of them entered in to the room, they find everyone seating around the table but she was nowhere to be seen. 'She is still in room, maid has served her food in the room' seeing their dropped faces Theodore informed them feeling bad for them, he gave a knowing glance to Natalie who sighed in response.
'I will eat later, Natalie can you please help kids in dinner' his craving for food died because of her absence and he quickly stepped back from the room heading towards the stairs not listening to anyone.
