{ ~ The next day ~ }

My friends decided to leave that night because Lilliana felt sick after all the alcohol and Luella couldn't drink that much because she had a meeting the next day.

As I wake up, I notice that Mr Moretti is still asleep. I carefully move my legs off the bed and slowly make my way to the bathroom. I turn on the hot water and begin to undress. Luckily, my bruises and cuts have healed and are no longer visible. I step into the shower and start to lather shampoo into my hair using circular motions. As I close my eyes, I suddenly feel two strong arms wrap around my waist. I gasp and open my eyes, but there's nobody there. After finishing my shower, I search the bathroom for a towel or something to cover myself with. before grabbing my clothes that I had laid out on the bed.

I open the door halfway to see nobody there, I cover my body with my hands as I tiptoe across the floor, once I get to the bed I bend down to pick up my folded clothes, as I bend down I notice a tall figure from the corner of my eye. "Mr Moretti" I say shocked grabbing my clothes and covering them with my body.

"My name is Hayes, Lexington" He calls me by my last name "You know my name" I take a breath and then carry on"Hayes" I reply "We will be going out shopping to get you some clothes since you don't have any" he replies leaving and shutting the door behind him.

I get dressed in my clothes from yesterday and meet him downstairs where I am met with his other friends. "Ludovic, Giovanni and my brother Thane" Hayes speaks before me, I nod at them all and give them a welcoming smile, "We are throwing a beach party in 2 days, we will need to get you a swimsuit as well as some other clothes for the upcoming dinner tonight and tomorrow night" he takes a breath then starts again"you will be left with Thane, Giovanni and Ludovic during the shopping trip to keep you safe as well as some other bodyguards, don't do anything stupid-"

"where will you be" I cut him off I could tell he didn't like it.

"nowhere you need to be worried about" he says expecting I was worried which I'm just curious, not worried.

"oh but didn't you say I'm going to be Mrs Moretti, shouldn't I know what my husband is going to do and where he will be," I say mimicking his words from last night, as his mates chuckle behind him. he gives his mates an unholy death stair ignoring my question, The whole room goes quiet as he opens the door leading me out. I stand on the steps feeling confused as I watch all of them get into different cars, Hayes gets into a black Porche 918 Spyder leaving the house followed by Ludovic in his Toyota Supra MK4 then followed by Giovanni in his red Ferrari f50, just as they were leaving Thane pulled up in front of me in a corvette c8, he leaned over the seats and opened the passenger door, inviting me in.

once we arrive at the mall I don't see Hayes anywhere just Giovanni and Ludovic, Me and Thane get out of the car and meet up with the others we enter the mall, not just any mall, this fucking mall had a river going through the middle of it, there were plants everywhere including some palm trees, it had a glass roof were I could see the sun shining down from inside.

"would you like me to take your coat madam," one of the bodyguards asks, he must have seen how hot I was. Having the sun directly on you and in a fur coat is hot I wouldn't recommend it. "so what shop first," Giovanni asks "Let's go to DIOR first" I smile, I have never really expected this neither have I experienced it, of course, I have been to a mall but only like once or twice.

once we reach the shop I pick out a beautiful pair of heels they were the J'ADIOR slingback pumps and a gorgeous bag it was the small lady D-JOY bag.

once we left there we went to Dolce&Gabbana where I picked out the famous short jacquard dress with the crystal-embellished DG logo.

after loads of other different shops, the last shop we came across was CLUB LONDON I had seen many people wearing beautiful dresses from there and on walkways and wished for my own, we entered the shop after bragging about this shop for hours to Giovanni, Ludovic and Thane we finally entered the first thing I picked up was the adele dress a red ruched fishtail cami maxi dress, then a similar dress belle a black one shoulder fishtail maxi dress, then the crown dress a black plunge front one shoulder maxi dress to go with my medusa black snake print cuff stiletto heels. I bought a lot of other dresses but too many to go through at once.

As the woman was scanning all the items I feel a pair of eyes glaring at me from across the room, I turn to see my father Charging up to me and punching me across my face leaving a deep gash on my cheekbone before the bodyguards could step in I put my hand up signalling them to stop as the boys are standing behind me trying to protect me but I make them stay back.

"wheres Mother" I shout, he smacks me round the face again staining a red handprint on my cheek making me wince at the pain.

"you do not speak unless I have told you to, do you understand" he shouts louder than I ever could.

"yes, sir," I say under my breath, as I prepare for another but before the hand reached my touch Giovanni punched him across his face, making his nose bleed like a waterfall.

"cunt" Giovanni spits at him, leaving this scenario taking me with his hand, once we got out of the store it wasn't long before Thane and Lodovic followed us out, "Are you ok" I hear Giovanni mumble as the other two stand there in silence, "Thank you" I replied feeling his hands clasp around my shoulders bringing me into a tight hug that lasted around 30 seconds. "please don't tell Hayes," I say under my breath "why" I hear Lodovic say " I didn't want you guys, let alone anyone to know about my Past," I say quietly

"alright but if he finds out it's not our fault, that man will find out anything he wants or needs to know" I hear Thane say.

"speaking of which he's just texted me, *pick you some baby clothes while your there age 3 to 4 Avery's coming over for a couple of days*," Thane says reading out the text between him and his brother.

"whos Avery," I say confused

"one of Hayes's mates' daughter, Hayes likes to look after her occasionally"

on the way back home we stop off at some kids' shops and I picked out some really cute clothes for her and toys, I always loved kids and always wanted some of my own my father made me look after his friend's children when I was younger so they could go partying to the new recent clubs and that, but I hardly minded that because there parents would give me money for doing it and I would be able to put them to bed a watch whatever I wanted on the tv and have as many friends over as wanted.

once we got back home I walk into the living room to see what looks like a mini Lilliana snuggled up next to Hayes watching Princess and the frog, she had the same platinum blond hair short enough to be shoulder length and pretty blue ocean-like eyes that reflected the tv screen onto hers.

"She's beautiful isn't she," Thane says walking up next to me

"Thane" she screams as soon as she looks our way, Hayes turns his head to look in our direction and as soon as he acknowledges me he gets up and walks towards me, Thane taking his place next to Avery on the sofa. "what's that on your face" he brushes over the gash, I wince, feeling his touch on such a sensitive spot "I walked into a door" I laugh awkwardly pulling away running up to our room.
