The sun was warming up my tear-stained face, while Brad opened the bottle of alcohol beverage and started pouring it into the glass I was trying to keep up with my shaking hands. Right after I came in Brad accidentally in a big sweeping movement hit Eduardo the butler in the face and knocked him unconscious. He then quickly pulled me into the house and brought me to his room, where we sat in silence for hours and ate all the junk he had his butlers bring up for him. He didn't ask me and I'm grateful for that. A few hours later I told him everything I remembered and couldn't pull back the tears anymore. He just sat quietly and listened. I genuinely don't know what I would do without him.

"You know, it may sound stupid, but... nevermind", I took a big sip from the glass stuck in deep thoughts.

"No, it's okay I won't judge."

"Noo I-"

"Yasmine. Come on. You need to get everything out, girl. Even if it might be completely stupid, but I guess it won't because you idiot also got a college degree", I let out a small laugh and smiled

"Ok,..", I tried starting, "it is pretty unlikely that someone like Ale would be killed so easily. I mean they might have stormed the house, but take a closer look at Ale. He's a multi-billionaire businessman and underground mobster with connections. He has everything money could buy, the security, the supplies the man. In comparison killing the president would be a child's play. So how could someone possibly get into the building and knock him out so easily? This just doesn't add up, especially after all the near-death experience stories, he told me."

Brad patiently looked at me.

"And also.. he had a ring with him. The one from Harry Winston. I think.... he wanted to propose.."

"WHAAAAAAAAAT", Bratteo jumped up and his morning robe almost fell off.  A few moments later after he cooled down he sat down.

"Yas, I don't know what to say. That's a huge thing. My brother never talked about marriage as far back as I can remember. What potion have you evil with put one him?"

I smiled weakly.

"What does it matter anyway now."

(CAUTION: MENTION SEXUAL ABUSE SKIP TO BOTTOM)

"No, Yas. Maybe your weird train of thought is right. He always was crazy about you and I know my brother. We might not be blood, but I for sure know that he would even die for his loved ones. I never told anyone, not even you, but when I was eight years old... I was almost abducted. We didn't know each other then. Ale was around fourteen or fifteen years back then. We were on a school trip with my boarding school in Switzerland in some shitty hotel in Germany because our five-star hotel had some emergency. So for one night, our whole school had to stay in this rats-hole, but the good thing was we all good one room each. In the middle of the night, one of the staff members sneaked into my room, knocked me unconscious, and tied me up. I tried screaming but he muffled my screams by putting his hand onto my mouth and threatening to kill me."

At this point, tears started rolling down Brad's face. I pulled him close and started patting his back in order to comfort him.

"Brad you don't  have-."

"NO. I mean. It's okay. I'm over it. Ale saved my life this night. The psycho threatened me that he knew who my parents were and that he would kill me after he would brutally rape me. He even had a knife, but Ale came just in time. The creep was about to start with his torture when Ale started violently beating the shit out of him, despite him having a weapon. The teachers came and later on the police. He was going to jail, but mysteriously died on his way to trial. I still think my father has something to do with it."

I stared at Brad still processing what he just confessed to me.

"Oh, Brad. I'm so so sorry."

I hugged him tightly.

"Its okay Yasmine. It may be burned into my memories, but the fact is Ale was there. He has brought himself into danger just to save me from such a young age. There are several other encounters, but that's not what I'm trying to say, Yas. I mean, you should try. No matter what the others say. Maybe he still is alive and I will help you in any way I can."

This day Brad didn't just confess to me his deepest secret and fear but also took over the Alssandros empire. At least for the time being. And this night I slept in the hope for one day seeing his face again. Feel his warmth next to me. Feel safe in his arms, laugh endlessly with him, and love him. One more time.
