How Deep is Your Love

Chapter Thirty-One: A Night to Remember

Aliona frowned as Iker helped her out of his Audi RS5, it was Sergio’s birthday and he was having a small get-together with friends to celebrate; the blonde was wearing a black maternity midi dress with wrap skirt paired with black heeled sandals and a black shoulder bag.

“You look beautiful amor,” Iker reassured her, Aliona was currently thirty-two weeks pregnant and the blonde was starting to get a little grumpy; Iker had tried his best to look after her especially when she had back pain and foot ache.

Aliona looked at Iker as he handed his keys to the valet, he quickly pressed a kiss to her lips before the couple were greeted by Cristiano and Irina; the Portuguese raised an eyebrow at Iker as Irina greeted Aliona.

“Don’t,” the Spaniard warned under his breath, he was used to dealing with the blonde’s increasing mood swings; he knew that it was the pregnancy hormones that made her snap but he hoped that it wouldn’t last too long.

“You look amazing Aliona,” Irina said making the blonde smile, Iker stared at his fiancée wondering why she listened more to the Russian than she did to him; Cristiano chuckled as he patted the Spaniard on the back.

“Why don’t we head inside?” the striker said as he wrapped his arm around Irina’s waist, he grinned as he looked between Iker and Aliona; the blonde seemed to relax the moment that Iker pulled her close to him.

The four of them head inside where Sergio was waiting with Pilar, he smiled at his friends as he moved to greet them with his girlfriend; since there was a match coming up he hadn’t been able to go home for his birthday and had decided to have a dinner party instead.

“I’m glad that you could make it,” Sergio said as he grinned at his friends as he led them to the table that he had booked; there were already a couple of members of the team there and they were talking among one another.

Daniel licked his lips as he pulled his Lamborghini Gallardo to a stop outside the restaurant where Aliona and Iker had just entered; he frowned as he admired the dress that his ex-girlfriend was wearing.

Daniel hated that he had lost the blonde to someone like Iker, it should have been him entering fancy restaurants with Aliona and spending time with the twins; he frowned as he eyed the bump that the blonde carried, that should have been his baby.

Picking up a brown bag, he reached inside and pulled out a bottle, he stared at it for a moment before he looked at Aliona who was talking with another footballer and his Russian girlfriend.

Daniel never would have thought that the blonde would end up on the arm of a footballer, someone who looked at her as if she was the greatest thing in the world; he hated that Iker had Aliona when she was his.

He unscrewed the bottle as he watched his ex-girlfriend enter the restaurant with the footballer, he hated to think that she was no longer his; she would always be his and she needed to realise that.

Daniel took a sip out of the bottle and winced at the bitter taste of the liquid inside; he rubbed his tired eyes as he thought about how his life had gone downhill since the court case.

No one wanted to be involved with him, since he had neglected his own children; they feared that his violent behaviour would drive away business and he had lost his license in law after he tried to bribe the judge to win the twins.

Daniel snorted as a smile formed on his lips, he was going to make Iker pay for stealing his life; he wanted him to suffer for stealing the life that should have been his.

“Gracias for coming tonight,” Pilar said as she hugged Aliona, she smiled at the younger woman grateful that she had come to the dinner while she was heavily pregnant; it was clear that Aliona’s hormones were going crazy.

“Gracias for having us, good luck getting Sergio home,” Aliona said making Pilar roll her eyes as she looked at her boyfriend, who was talking happily with Iker; it was clear that he was slightly drunk and that it would take a bit to get him to leave willingly.

“Gracias, I think I’m going to need it,” Pilar said making Aliona laugh as Iker returned to Aliona’s side, he wrapped an arm around her waist and held her close as Pilar smiled at the couple while Sergio wrapped his arms around her.

“I’ll see you at training tomorrow,” Iker said as the valet arrived with the Audi RS5; the couple waved goodbye to Pilar and Sergio before they prepared to head home, Aliona smiled as she climbed into the car relieved to be able to rest her feet.

“Can’t wait to get home?” Iker asked making Aliona nod her head as they left the restaurant; the brunette smiled as she felt him trail a hand along her leg in comfort, he knew that she was starting to get uncomfortable and he was grateful that she had agreed to come with him.

“Do you think the twins will be asleep?” Aliona mused as she wondered if she would get a chance to call them to say goodnight since they were staying at Iker’s parents home; Aliona’s parents were a little rushed off their feet and hadn’t been able to watch the twins while they were running the hotel.

Iker frowned as he looked out of his rear view mirror, the white Lamborghini Gallardo behind him was driving all over the place; Iker licked his lips as he noticed how close the car was getting to his.

Aliona jumped as the car behind them rammed into the Audi RS5, she looked at Iker who cursed under his breath as he steadied the car; he kept his eyes on the road as Aliona looked behind them.

“That’s Daniel’s car,” the blonde breathed as she looked at her fiancé, she knew that this couldn't be good if he was driving in such away.

“What the hell is he trying to do kill us,” Iker snapped as Daniel rammed back into the Audi again, Aliona looked at Iker frightened as Iker swerved to the other side of the road in an attempt to escape from Daniel.

However Lamborghini Gallardo followed his manoeuvre and Iker cursed; it was clear that Daniel was hell bent on driving them off the road. Iker swerved the car one last time and braced himself for impact as the Audi was rammed one more time, this time it was enough to force them off the road and into a ditch.

Aliona closed her eyes and placed her arms over her stomach as the Lamborghini Gallardo smashed into them; the force of the crash forced both cars off the road and down a small embankment where one careered into a tree and a large bush stopped the other.

Smoke rose from both of the cars as people hurried forward to help those that had been involved in the crash, some were already calling the police after what they had seen; they couldn't believe what they had seen.

There was no movement from either of the cars as people moved to help those trapped inside of the cars; it was clear that whoever had been in the Lamborghini Gallardo had been succeeded in forcing the other car off the road, however it was unclear at what cost.
