In the last chapter, I said Eric instead of Alexander, Alexander in Alessandra's Ex-boyfriend the one Luca was talking about. Not her cousin (little Alexander from chapter 7) but ex-boyfriend (I know! Confusing!) Anyway just wanted to clear that up so you try to not get confused. This is a long one so be prepared and please read it all, you won't regret it!

Alessandra
I go upstairs to my room and crack the door, not caring or paying attention to anything. I sit on my bed and think.
I've been lied to for three years! Not like I actually care because he....was just something else. But if we were still together and had Eveleigh, how would life be? With the whole arranged marriage thing set aside, would Alexander still abuse me and other things or would he change with Everleigh being born?
Millions of questions flood my mind. I take a deep breath in and out, I put on music to distract me.
I sing along to Leave me Lonely by Ariana Grande.
(We don't need to repeat the lyrics!)
As I'm singing another song the door opens to reveal Harper smiling. My eyes widen but I continue singing.
"How do you still manage to impress me every time?" She says with a laugh. I shrug my shoulders.
"I don't know."
She comes over to the bed and sits down beside me.
She looks at me. "How are you feeling?"
"I don't know, confused?" I look down at my hands and fiddle with my fingers.
"Would a hug make you feel better?" I smile at hearing that. Harper being Harper, loves to make people happy. Her kindness is something special and rare, especially in this world.
"I would love that, " She brings me into a hug and I embrace it.
"I really needed that." We pull apart and look at each other, smiling.
"Mason is lucky to have a girlfriend like you, a pure heart and such kindness." Her whole face turns red, I let out a small laugh.
"Stop it! You've told me that over a million times over the past four years, your the one that always has something nice to say to people, " she takes my hand and holds it. "Your the strongest person I've ever met and you don't give yourself credit for being strong with everything you've been through. " I start tearing up hearing her words.
"DON'T CRY YOUR GONNA MAKE ME CRY!" I laugh through my sobs, letting some tears flow down. I hug her tightly and she does the same.
"Oh my, " I wipe the tears off my face. "Thank you, Harper." She gives me a bright smile and shakes her head.
"I know you might not be happy with what I'm about to tell you but you need to get ready early, " I look at her confused. Get ready for what?
"So today is Luca's birthday and every year his mom has a party with all of the Italian mafia to celebrate, " Luca never told me today was his birthday, yet again I never told him about mine.
"With you being Luca's wife you have to be there and make a good impression, but I think that will be easy. Everyone will love you." She reassured, I nod in agreement.
"With that being said let's find you a beautiful dress." she grabs my hand, dragging me down the hallway to some other room.
I was left in awe when I saw what was in it. Dresses. A little room full of all kinds of dresses, flowy, poofy, ruffle, slits, and of many different colors.
