Captured (Part 2 and 3)

Tatiana POV

Tiredly making my way downstairs. I could hardly get any sleep last night thinking if Alex and I will really work with Rosalina now in the picture. Hearing commotion outside making me sigh in annoyance, "what is it now" I groan to myself opening the door. My eyes widen at the sight in front of me, it couldn't be. It can't be him, am I seeing things, his eyes making contact with my mine as he tried to fight the men off, "d.....dad" I breathe......

Sitting on the couch in disbelief as he sat in front of me. Explaining everything nothing seemed to register, "I..I thought you were dead" I say in disbelief, "I know honey but I did it all to protect you" he says. Gulping down, "after everything I went through" I breathe, "I know, and I regret every moment I wasn't with you" he breaths. "I don't think your husband is being honest about why you went through all of this with the Gonzalez, it's a lot more personal I have to warn you honey" he says making my brows furrow. "What?" I say in confusion, "he didn't tell you did he" he says, "tell me what?" I question. Sighing, "Emilio is coming after Alessandro because of everything he's taken from him" he says getting up from his seat, "his empire, his respect, his wife" he says, "what are you talking about?" I ask making him turn to face me. "This empire isn't suppose to be your husband's" he says, "Leonardo De Luca, the one who started all of this" he says pointing at the room, "him and the late Emilio Senior were best friends, allies even" he says, "but Leonardo he never made the best choices when it came to women that's why he got Alina Gonzalez, Emilio Senior's wife pregnant" he says making my eyes widen. "That's where it all began, the feud, the war, but Leonardo never acknowledged Emilio as his the same way Emilio the great, refused to accept the boy as his and that's what lead to his ultimate death" he says making me gulp, "Marco took over an empire that wasn't rightfully his, then continued to pass it over to Alessandro when it was never his" he says calmly, "Oh as if that wasn't enough your husband k-" "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" Alex's voice booms making me turn to face him, anger evident in his eyes.

Third Person POV
"I thought I told you to stay away from her" he says, "and I told her she can decide on her own" Henry spits, "get out" Alex spits. "Alessandro this is my dau-" "AND SHE IS MY WIFE" he grits  as tension began to fill the room, "no man will tell me to stay away from my own daughter" Henry says warningly as Tatiana sat staring down the floor in frustration, "your daughter huh?" Alex questions, "the same daughter you left to suffer in the hands of your abusive wife and her husband!" Alex spits, "the same daughter you abandoned because you we-" "OH YOU THE LAST ONE TO SAY ANYTHING WHEN YOU DECIDED TO SCREW YOUR HIGH SCHOOL WHORE WHILE MARRIED TO HER! OR WHAT DID YOU FORGET SHE WAS YOUR WIFE THEN" he yells as Alex took steps towards the man, "I may be many things but I would never abandon my family for my selfish reasons now get the fuck out of my house" he spits, "I'm not go-" before he can finish his sentence Alex strikes him, throwing punches at the man's face making Tatiana run towards them, "STOP IT!" She yells, Henry throwing a punch at Alex making Alex grab him by his neck, Tatiana trying to grab onto Alex, "ALEX STOP IT!" She yells as he landed another punch on the man's face making her try to pull him away, grabbing  his arm he roughly elbows her on the eye making her fall the floor in pain and disbelief. Elizabeth rushing in the room, Alex rushes over to her side as guilt washed over him, "DON'T TOUCH ME!" Tatiana yells clutching onto her eye in pain, "YOU SEE WH-" "JUST SHUT UP!" Tatiana yells as Elizabeth held onto her, tears brimming her eyes, "YOU BOTH JUST PROVED TO ME HOW TOXIC YOU ARE" she yells, sighing before turning to face Henry, "please just leave" she says holding in her tears before leaving the room.

Rushing to the kitchen, "are you okay?" Elizabeth questions grabbing her an ice pack, tears streaming down her cheeks before she grabbed it placing it on her eye in silence...

~Later on at night
Tatiana sitting out the balcony hugging her knees. Her eyes red and puffy, her left eye now black. The sound of footsteps filling her ears as Alex made his way towards her. Looking down at her, seeing the black eye making his heart clench as guilt washed over him. Plopping down the seat in front of her as she continued to stare into blank space. "I want the truth and nothing but the truth, why is Emilio after us" she croaks not making contact with him. Telling him the exact story Henry told her, "Emilio had a wife" he gulps, "I was still young even Marco wasn't In charge yet and....Leonardo sent us to go attack the Gonzalez household" he breaths, "she was his everything, the same way you are mine" he says looking up at her, "she was heavily pregnant, shots were firing, I wasn't exactly looking who I was firing at" he says looking down, "she appeared around the corner with a pistol in her hand and without thinking, I shot her, three time" he finishes making her look over to him. "Look I was young and I never meant to do it, it was either her or me" he breaths as tears blur her vision. "Alex" she says as tears begin to stream down her face, looking up at him, "I've been thinking" she cries, "I...I don't think I want to be with you anymore" she breaths tearfully, tears now blurring his vision, "I have decided to take the guest room from now onwards, then once this is over" she gulps, "I will be moving out, we can discuss everything else later" she cries before getting up from her seat, quickly getting up from his facing her, "it's fine, I will move to the guest room" he says coldly before walking past her. Plopping back down the couch before breaking into a silent sob.....
