Tatiana POV
Standing in front of the counter as I waited for the man. Alexander stood beside me as he gentle stroked my back, "you can come through Mrs Giordano" the man says. Following behind him entering the cold room. Opening the metal door, pulling out the long metallic stretcher. Remaining void of any emotions, there lay the woman I had grown to despise with all  my being. Bruises covered her pale neck. "She was just found dead you say?" I furrow my brows, "yes mam" the man says, "what about the bruises?" I question, "the autopsy says it wasn't the cause of death" he shrugs. Looking over to Alex who remained cold of any emotions. Staring down her lifeless body again before sighing out. Nodding my head the man slid the body back in before leading us out, "can I have a moment with my husband" I say, nodding his head he leaves the room.
"Are you okay?" He questions, tears blurring my vision, "she was murdered" I whisper, "I know" he says making me furrow my brows. "Yesterday...when we saw your stepfather, he was acting weird about her death" he sighs, "I didn't want to say anything but my suspicions are confirmed" he says making me look down in sadness, "can we order another autopsy but performed by another pathologist?" I whisper in sadness, "I know she never loved me but I really need the closure about her death" nodding his head, "I will figure something out, let's just get you out of here" he says leading me out.....

Starring straight ahead as sadness filled me, thoughts of the abuse replaying themselves. Tears sliding down my cheeks uncontrollably. Hugging my knees tightly. Hearing the door open not bothering to look up. Feeling Alexander's eyes staring down at me. Feeling the warm Cotten material go over my back covering my shoulders, "let's get you out of here, you will get sick" he whispers carrying me out the bathtub. Drying my body before gently laying me inside the duvet covers, "stay" I whisper. Taking off his robe before sliding in. Placing his hands over me, "I have no one now" I whisper, "both my parents are dead" I croak quickly wiping the tear that slid down. Placing a lingering kiss on my forehead, "after I ran away from home, I felt the exact same way" he breaths, "I never had anyone and never thought I would, but I have you now" he says pulling me closer to his body, "I need you to trust that you have me and always will the same way I trust I have you" he says, hugging my body as I tightly hugged his body. Placing a kiss on his chest before falling into a deep slumber....
