Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally or some of the characters used in this story.
It was a sunny afternoon on February 25th, 2015 and Austin and I were at a small charity event in one of his business partner's mansion.
I clutched onto my glass of champagne as I watched Austin speak with certain people who gazed at him in awe and worshiped his every move. He was so handsome, popular and loved by everyone and I simply couldn't believe a man like him had chosen a girl like me to love even after all that time. He made a joke which had caused everyone to instantly laugh and I couldn't help but smile widely at the scene. Although he was surrounded by many people, he managed to stand out from all of them and shine brighter than a star in the night's sky. As I continued to stare at him, my mind began to drift back to the day where I had found out that I was pregnant.
It was a day that I would simply never forget.
~Flashback:
As my Doctor hung up the phone I quickly covered my mouth before slowly falling to the floor. I gazed over at the window in shock as tears started to fill my eyes as each minute passed. It was as if my brain short-circuited and needed to be rebooted. Around me, everything was in fast-forward whilst I sat motionless in the middle of it all. I couldn't believe it. The Day after my 15th birthday I had gotten the news that I will never be able to have kids and I had learned to deal with it and move on like the strong person I was, but after hearing the surprising news that day from my Doctor it was as if all of my worries, problems and everything that I had been dealing with had all disappeared and I couldn't be more happy.
As I slowly and gently placed my hand on my stomach, I felt a tear rapidly roll down my cheek, but I was too overwhelmed to do anything about it. It was as if I couldn't move or breath.
"Ally, I have to head down to my Office for something important, come with me" I hear Austin say and I slowly shot my head up to see him walking inside the kitchen. He froze as he saw me sitting on the floor sobbing silently to myself before quickly rushing over to me. He crouched down in front of me and helped to quickly wipe away the tears flowing down my cheek before pulling me closer to him. He clenched his jaw tightly and stared down into my eyes worriedly before pushing a strand of hair behind my ears. "What's wrong baby, what's the matter?" he asked eagerly before cupping my cheeks with his large hands. He was quite disheartened once the DNA test results had shown Jimmy Jr not to be his son, but that all seemed to disappear as he saw my crying face, and it was then that I truly realized how important I was to him.
"I-I" I stuttered unable to finish of my sentence. I was still shocked in finding out the news that it was almost as if I had lost the sense to speak properly. "Did something happen?" he questioned before glancing down at my phone who was in the floor. "Did anyone say anything to upset you? who is it, I'll kill them for making you cry like this" he said worriedly, gently running his hands down my cheeks. I shook my head before flashing him a wide smile, which left him utterly confused. "Ally, what's going on here, tell me?" he asked again whilst arching his brow at me.
He slowly loosened his tie and ran his fingers through his neatly styled hair before looking back down at me waiting for me to explain. I lowered my head to look down at my stomach before looking back up at him and speaking up. "M-My Doctor called... I had been feeling a little sick recently and-
"And why didn't you tell me?" he asked quickly cutting me off. "I know that I've been dealing with a lot of things for the past couple days, but I'm never too busy for you because you're my first priority before anything" he sighed before placing a kiss on my forehead and going back t gently stroke my cheeks. I shot him a genuine smile as I nestled my hands into his. I wasn't sure why I suddenly felt nervous to tell him, I guess it was due to everything that had recently happened, but even though I was feeling anxious, I knew that I couldn't wait any longer to tell him.
"L-Let me explain honey" I sniffed whilst piercing into his deep brown eyes. "She said that she ran a couple tests on me and..." I drifted off as tears began to appear in my eyes once again. "S-She said that I was two weeks pregnant".
As the words left my mouth, the shock and awe mixed on his face grew for a brief moment until his face began to slowly light up. His lips pulled back and a grin widened across his cheeks. It was surprising that he could hold the expression as long as he did whilst he gazed down at me. The look on his face was full of astonishing joy that made me tear up even more. I had never seen him so gobsmacked and elated at once in the the three years that I had known him for.
He continued to stare at me for several more seconds before speaking up. "I-I thought that you couldn't-
"I thought that too but she said that I was really lucky because not all women who can't have kids end up getting pregnant" I cried whilst choking up on my words. "I never really cared about having kids ever since I found out that I couldn't, but ever since I met you its been my dream to be with you forever and start a family with you... I...I never thought that I'd be able to that" I sobbed loudly whilst trying my hardest to wipe away the tears streaming down my cheeks.
He gazed back into my eyes deeply before slowly lowering his head to glance down at my stomach. Tears began to appear in his eyes as he placed his hand on my stomach before lifting his head back up. "You're carrying our baby?..." he exclaimed almost in disbelief before cupping my cheek once again and I quickly nodded as a tear quickly rolled down my eyes. "I'm gonna be a Father, for real?" he asked again and I nodded once more before leaning in to place a quick kiss on his lips. I watched as he hung his head low and ran his fingers through his hair so that I wouldn't see him cry. I slowly pulled him into a hug and placed his head down on my chest as he continued to cry some more. I had never seen him so emotional, it was truly rare to see such a sight to see since he put up a front a lot of the time to maintain his hard and macho image.
"I love you" I whispered whilst gently stroking his hair. He slowly lifted his head up from my chest and wiped away his tears before sitting down on the floor and pulling me in-between his legs. "I can't fucking believe it" he grinned widely causing me to laugh loudly. "I love you more Ally, I don't know what I'll ever do without you" he whispered before closing the gap between us.
His hands touched my face, he gently pulled me closer to him and brushed my hair from my neck before gently but deeply moving down to my neck and placing kisses on it. As I rapidly swung my arms around his neck, he slowly worked his way to my mouth for a little kiss before making his way to the other side of my neck. He started to whisper sweet things in my ear about how I've made him the happiest man in the world ever since I walked into his life and how he was going to love and protect me and our unborn baby for the rest of his life and I couldn't help but blush and giggle like a little school girl who had just gotten her first kiss. As he finished sucking on my neck, he quickly moved back to my lips, kissing me deeply and intensely. It was one of the most passionate kisses we ever had because I could feel the emotion between us. I couldn't remember how long it lasted, all I remembered was being completely enthralled by the feel of his lips and his strong arms around me as tears loosely streamed down my face.
After several minutes of being carried away with each other, we slowly pulled away to press our foreheads against each other. Austin lifted his hand up to wipe away the remainder of my tears before leaning down to place a kiss down on my stomach and I couldn't help but smile widely. He lifted his head back up and pecked my lips before getting up from the floor and picking me up bridal style along the way.
"I think this calls for a celebration" he whispered whilst holding a sexy and devious smirk on his face. I playfully rolled my eyes and wrapped my eyes around his neck as he strolled out the kitchen. "I thought you had to go to your office for something important" I chuckled whilst staring up at him.
"That can wait" he muttered briefly. He placed a kiss on my forehead and held onto me tightly before walking up the stairs and over to our bedroom.
~End of Flashback.
Ever since then, we had spent everyday together, with Austin cancelling his meetings and business trips just to be with me at all time. It was as if I had falling more in love with him, and I didn't know that was even possible, due to the fact that he was already the most important person in the world to me. I smiled as more people started to walk up to Austin to congratulate him on my recent pregnancy announcement that was made public to the press a week ago, but I could tell that some really weren't happy for him. He thanked each of them before glancing over at me signalling for me to come over. I stared at all of the important people who had turned their heads to look at me a little nervously before breathing in and out getting ready to walk over to him till I got stopped by someone calling my name.
"Ally..." I hear someone say and I quickly spun around to see a tall blonde woman who I quickly recognized as the Daughter of one of New York's richest businessmen. She was dressed in fine, expensive and elegant clothing and had an aura that screamed wealthy and also quite stuck-up. She clutched onto her white fur scarf and turned her head to glance over at Austin before turning her attention back to me. "Congratulations on your pregnancy, you're a very lucky young girl to have snatched up the Austin Moon, not every girl can say that" she whispered quietly, adding emphasis to 'young girl'. It truly annoyed me that it was just what people saw me as.
"Thank you" I uttered forcing a smile at her before turning to walk away, only for her to pull me back again. "You're always welcome to come over to my mansion for dinner anytime, but if you can't make it I'm sure your Husband can, he has helped my Father a lot with his company so I think that its time to start doing my own business with him... he is truly amazing" she muttered whilst gawking over at Austin. She bit onto her lip and eyed him up and down as I started to get annoyed by each second. Did she suddenly forget that I was standing right in front of her.
I rolled my eyes over to the back of my head before speaking up. "My Husband's a busy man, if you're not serious in doing business with him and only looking to mess things up between us then please stay away" I spoke sternly, suddenly finding the confidence in me.
"Ally... c'mon" she scoffed whilst crossing her arms.
"I would prefer it if you please call me Mrs Moon" I spoke looking up at her before turning to finally walk over to Austin, who stood with a suspicious look on his face wondering what I had just spoken about her. I had never spoken in that tone to a rich and powerful woman like herself, but I just couldn't take being disrespected any longer, especially when it came to mine and Austin's marriage. Since he was the richest young Billionaire in the world, and very handsome to say the least, a lot of people thought that my intentions on being with him was simply because of his money, but they couldn't have been more wrong.
As I finally approached Austin, he wrapped his arms around my waist before leaning down to kiss my lips, not caring about all the people that were watching us. As we pulled away a couple seconds later, I flashed him a sweet smile before turning my head to look at all of the people. Some smiled over at us with happy eyes, but the majority looked at me like I was the dirt at the bottom of their expensive shoes and that I really didn't belong here at all, especially with one of the most popular and well-respected men in the world. I was now used to people looking at me this way due to the fact that I was previously Austin's assistant, but it was as if their judging and despicable eyes had immediately derailed my confidence and made me awkward and uncomfortable. Austin must have noticed what was going on too, because as soon as he cleared his throat, they all quickly plastered on their fake smiles, in hopes that he wouldn't suspect a thing about who they really were. They were nothing but just a bunch of rich and pathetic people who only sucked up to Austin to do anything to get on his good side and it truly made me sick.
Without saying another word, Austin quickly inter-wined our hands together before pulling me away from the crowd of people and I breathed out a sigh of relief before squeezing onto his hand tightly. "Was it that obvious that they didn't like me?" I sighed staring up at him.
"It doesn't matter what they think" he stopped before lifting my hand up to place a kiss on it. "We're leaving, we've been here far too long anyway, and I'm getting tired of people constantly sucking up to me" he groaned causing me to chuckle lightly.
"Austin, Austin Moon" his business partner and the person in charge of the small charity event spoke whilst walking up to us.
"My wife and I will be taking our leave now Mr Delmar, but this has been a wonderful event and I hope all of your donations today come through, you've come a long way ever since we partnered up" said Austin whilst shaking his hand. "Its all thanks to you Mr Moon, thank you for your $7 million dollar donation today, and congratulations on the news of your baby" he spoke before turning to shake my mind. We said our thanks and goodbye to him before strolling out of his mansion hand in hand.
We slowly walked over to the Limo which was guarded by a few of Austin's bodyguards and Adam, who had accompanied us today, but stopped as we spotted Dez stepping out of his own Limo alone with the help of his bodyguards. He took of his shades and fixed his tie before looking over and instantly catching our gaze. We hadn't seen him since Austin kicked him and Trish out of the mansion the day of our argument at dinner, or spoken to him either. When I first met Dez, he had a lot of energy and was so full of life, but as he stood staring back at us from a far distance, it felt as if the life was slowly being sucked out of him. His goofy and happy face that used to make me smile and laugh, was suddenly now blank and emotionless and I truly felt for him.
He stared at us for a brief moment, before finally deciding to walk over. I looked up at Austin as he watched Dez slowly walk over, although the expression on his face was firm and stern, I could tell that he was that he was truly missed Dez and was very worried about him. After all, they had known each other for twelve years, and the fact that Austin had found him on the streets when they were teenagers and turned his life of struggle into a lavish and comfortable lifestyle made their bond even much stronger.
Dez stopped in front of us before lowering his head a little nervously and placing his arms down to his side, and I felt Austin hold onto my hand a little tighter. After a short while of silence between the three of us, Dez lifted his head back up before clearing his throat and speaking up. "I heard you guys are having a baby... congratulations Ally, I thought you couldn't... you know, but congrats" he muttered quietly before scratching the back of my head. "Thank you, Dez" I replied nodding my head at him as Austin remained silent.
It fell silent again for another brief moment and this time it was Austin's turn to speak up. "How are you and Trish doing, and how's your Daughter too?" he asked quietly as his eyes began to slowly soften. Dez paused and turned his head to look somewhere else before slipping his hands inside his pockets and sighing to himself. "Trish and I are getting a divorce, we tried marriage counselling and all that other stuff couples do when they're having problems, but it didn't work out, I'll be announcing it to the press sometime next week" he explained morosely as Austin clenched his jaw tightly, obviously not surprised by the news of their divorce. I stared up at Dez a little disheartened as he tried his best to hold in his emotions from pouring out. "She's taking Ava and moving to a new mansion, we fought for custody of her but the court ended up giving the custody to Trish... knowing Trish I'll probably only get to see my Daughter once a month, twice if I'm lucky" he chuckled trying to make light of the tragic situation he was in.
"We've known each other for twelve years Dez, why didn't you call and tell me this was happening?" Austin questioned before taking a step closer to him.
"I didn't wanna bother you Austin, I've been bothering you for twelve years and I didn't wanna involve you in my problems, besides after what happened last time when we came over for dinner at your mansion... I thought that I had lost you as a friend man" he uttered as tears began to slowly sprinkle onto his eyes.
Austin stared directly at him with pity before letting go of my hand and pulling him into a hug. I smiled to myself and joined my hands together as I watched them hug. "I'm always here for you Dez, so if you need anything just call or come over to the mansion" Austin spoke before slowly pulling away. "And come back to work, its been far too long since you took a break and I need my head of trade market by my side" he said causing a smile to slowly creep up on Dez's face.
"Thank you Austin, Mr Delmar is expecting me inside so I'll see you later" Dez exclaimed placing his hand on his shoulder before turning to look down at me. "I'll see you later Ally" he said before turning to walk towards the front door. I smiled back at him before looking up at Austin as he stared back at him a little worriedly.
"I really hoped that they would work things out" I sighed before thinking back the disaster dinner night with the four of us. "So did I, but I knew this was gonna happen" Austin muttered before taking my hand and leading me over to the Limo. As we approached the Limo, I smiled over at the bodyguards before looking over at Adam to see him eyeing me up and down whilst licking his lips. I closed my eyes and gently shook my head before looking back at him to see him nodding his head at Austin before opening the Limo door for us. Was I suddenly imagining things?, I thought to myself before shrugging it off and stepping inside the Limo with his. I looked back at Adam as he gaped back down at me before slowly shutting the door behind us and walking off.
I quickly turned my head back around before placing my head on Austin's shoulder. He pulled me closer and placed a kiss down on my forehead before wrapping his arms around me and I couldn't help but smile and relax at the feeling of his strength and warmth.
As the Limo began to slowly drive out of the compound, Austin reached up to turn on the small TV near the corner. I took of my wedge heels and placed them to the side before pulling my dress down and laying my head down on Austin's lap. He chuckled lightly as he inter-wined our hands together and placed it on my stomach. He gazed down at me deeply and used his other hand to push the hair out of my face before opening his mouth to speak, only to get cut off by some breaking news on TV.
"It has been recently reported that 19 year old Alexis Moon, and 24 year old Carter Hamilton; who is the eldest son to famous businessman Grant Hamilton, are soon to be engaged. Our reporters have stated that it is looking to be an arranged marriage set up by Alexis's Billionaire Parents; Mike and Mimi Moon, and their wedding will take place later on in the year".
As the TV quickly switched to a picture of Alexis and Carter, Austin and I quickly hung our mouths low in shock as to what we had just heard. It was no surprise that Mike and Mimi have been trying to set up Alexis into an arranged marriage for the past two years now, and the worse part about all this was that Alexis was now letting them. Ever since the argument between her and Trent three weeks ago, she had gone back to her usual smiley self and pretended that it didn't affect her, but it was obvious that it very much did. She was going through so much pain and suffering that I wish I knew just how to stop it.
"James, drive to my Parent's mansion right away" Austin ordered in a stern and annoyed tone.
"Yes sir" James replied before turning the Limo back in the other direction.
"Those bastards" he groaned under his breath before placing his hand on top of his head. Although his behavior had become more strict and distance towards Alexis over the past couple months, she was still his baby sister and he would do anything to protect and save her from the those two monsters they called their Parents.
~A while later, we arrived at his Parents mansion.
Austin took my hand and helped me out the Limo, ignoring all of the guards and maids who had stopped to greet him. As he squeezed my hand tightly, I could tell that he was seriously pissed off and furious. He lead me inside the mansion and over to the living room where Alexis was sitting with Mike and Mimi, along with Carter who was sited across from them with his Parents. They all turned to look over at us and it felt like the aura in the room had instantly turned dark. The silence that came with it was unbearable and sickening as you could also feel the hatred and disgust, not just only evident on Austin's voice. Mike and Mimi quickly shot Austin a repulsive look as to why he had barged in here but he didn't seem to care as his gaze was fixated on Carter and his Parents. Just like the Moon Family, the Grant family were the epitome of wealth and power, they weren't as wealthy as the Moon's, but they were still very well-respected.
I watched as Carter's mom; Linda glanced over at me dis pleasingly before whispering something to her Husband and I bit my lip whilst trying hard not to roll my eyes in front of such a Family. It was obvious that they weren't very fond of me either.
After a brief while, Carter quickly stood up from the sofa besides his Parents and cleared his throat to break the tense silence in the room. He fixed his tie and pushed his hair back before walking over in our direction. "I can't believe I'm standing in the same room as the Austin Moon, its such an honor to finally meet you, I've always wanted to do business with you so I was wondering if you'd like to team up with me and help with this project I have coming up. Since we're going to be brother in-law's we should help each other out, right?" Carter grinned flashing his perfect white teeth before holding out his hand for him to shake. Austin stared down at his hand for a brief moment before ignoring it and walking past him. "You're both crazy if you think you're gonna put my sister through this again" Austin hissed down at Mike and Mimi before turning his head to Alexis."Alexis lets go, you're coming to stay with Ally and I for a while" Austin spoke sternly before going to grab her hand and pull her up from the sofa away from Mike and Mimi.
"Why do I need to come stay with you guys?, I have my own mansion" she said before crossing my her arms and glancing over at me.
"I bought you that mansion to get you away from them so what was the point of me buying it if you were gonna come here all the time huh?!, I said lets go!" he spoke raising his voice a little at her before grabbing hold of her wrist. Before he could pull her out the living room, she quickly snatched her hand back from him before shoving him away by the chest, shocking me a little. "I'm not going anywhere Austin! I agreed to the engagement with Carter... they didn't force me too" she muttered the last bit quietly before lowering her head.
Austin gaped down at her with a puzzled and bewildered expression before looking over at Mike and Mimi. "Come with me" Austin sighed grabbing hold of Alexis's arm ready to pull her out the living room, but was quickly stopped by Mike who stood up from his seat. "What the hell do you think you're doing Austin, you can't just barge in here in the middle of something important and-
"You sit down old man, this is between me and my sister!" Austin snapped cutting him off before quickly pulling Alexis out of the living room and into the hallway.
I watched as Mike and Mimi quickly apologized to the Hamilton's for Austin's behavior whilst making sure to plaster on their fake and convincing smiles. After all, they couldn't have them know just how destructive and unstable the Moon Family were in order to maintain their image they had built up in the public eye for so many years. As I heard shouting coming from the hallway, I was about to turn to rush into the hallway to Austin and Alexis but was stopped by the sound of Carter's Dad calling my name. He shot me a genuine smile and I smiled back before bowing my head a little at him.
"Congratulations on the news of your pregnancy Ally, you're a very beautiful young woman" he said and I nodded my head thanking him as his wife rolled her eyes before going back to sipping on her glass of wine. "Mike and Mimi, you must be absolutely thrilled to be expecting your first grandchild" he said whilst turning his attention back to them.
They quickly nodded their heads and faked a laugh before shifting their gazes over at me. "Oh we're overjoyed, we weren't expecting a grandchild... really... but we're very happy" Mimi muttered the last bit as her smile began to slowly fade away. I stared back at her not bothering to put a smile on my face before turning around to walk into the hallway.
I looked over as Alexis pressed her back against the wall and lowered her head as Austin continued to raise his voice at her. She looked like she wanted to cry at any minute, but that didn't stop him from saying what needed to be said.
"When you first turned 17 I've tried to stop those two from putting you in an arranged marriage like they were gonna do to me and now you're agreeing to marry someone who clearly has no interest in you?!" Austin yelled causing her to flinch a little. "How does that make me look huh?! I know now that I've wasted my damn time in trying to protect you when you'd now rather listen to our Parents. Ever since you were little Alexis I've taken care of you and raised you myself just because those two didn't have the fucking time or care! I've given you everything you've always wanted so answer me properly why do you wanna marry that guy, are you sure they aren't forcing you to do this?" he questioned furiously as I slowly crossed my arms whilst gazing over at them.
Alexis placed her hands on her head and groaned loudly before looking back up at Austin. "Why can't you just leave me alone Austin, I've already told you; they didn't force me into this engagement I agreed to it! I'm not a baby anymore, 19 now and old enough to make my own decisions so-
"Clearly not since you've decided on something so stupid!" he yelled quickly cutting her off.
"You've been ignoring me and treating me like crap anyway lately so why do you fucking care huh?! just leave me alone!" she yelled back louder going to walk away from him, but before she could he quickly pulled her back by the arm.
He rubbed his eyes and let out a deep sigh before looking back down at her. "Is this about Trent?... when are you gonna move on from it huh?, it didn't work out so get over it and stop basing all of your decisions just because you got your heartbroken! you're right you're not a baby anymore so I'm not gonna baby you-
"This isn't about Trent, not everything I do is based on him, I broke up with him okay, I've gotten over it!" she screamed quickly cutting him off. She lowered her head and began to breath rapidly and I couldn't help but feel pity towards her.
Austin paused for a brief moment in order to calm himself down. He glanced over at a picture of Alexis on the wall from when she was little before slowly shifting his eyes away. "Do whatever you want then, just don't bother me or Ally anymore" he spoke harshly before turning to walk over to me. As I was about to speak up, he quickly grabbed my hand and pulled me away. As we approached the door, I spun my head around to look back at Alexis as she crossed her arms whilst gazing down at the ground with an angry and hurt expression plastered on her face. I guess there was nothing that I could really do for her after all.
Hours later, it was 8:30 pm, and Austin and I were sited in our living room mansion watching TV.
He laid on my lap whilst speaking on the phone to one of his business partners and I smiled down at him whilst interlocking his free hand with mine. Since Isabella had gone back to Puerto Rico to visit her family, it meant that Austin and I were alone in the mansion for the weekend. Looking back at my life over the past three years, I couldn't believe all that had happened so far. I had gone from being a girl who nobody even looked twice at, to being the assistant of one of the most famous and well-respected Billionaire not just in New York, but in the world too, and then to his wife. I never expected all this to happen the day I first stepped foot in Austin's office for that interview, and the best thing about everything that's happened so far was that I had being blessed in carrying his baby.
As I picked up a cookie from the plate of cookies to the side and took a bite out of it, Austin quickly ended his phone call before stretching his hand up to cup my cheek. He stared up at me with so much intensity and meaning like I was the only thing that really mattered to him in this cruel world, and I pierced back down into his eyes with so much love and joy, that he couldn't help but smile. We had only been married for five months then, and it was truly the best five months of our lives, despite everything that had happened in it.
"Lets go out for dinner, I have a surprise for you" he smirked before lifting his head of my lap.
"Its not another $2 million dollar necklace is it?" I laughed before looking down at the $2 million dollar necklace he had bought me last week around my neck. "You don't have to spend so much on me babe, I'm happy with what I have here with you" I smiled before leaning over to place a kiss on his lips. He chuckled at my comment before taking my hand and speaking up. "You're my wife baby, you're worth every penny I spend on you" he muttered before placing a kiss down on my hand and I couldn't help but blush lightly. It was crazy at how much he still had such a big effect on me after all this time.
He cupped my face and kissed my lips before pulling away several seconds later to glance down at my stomach. Ever since I told him about my pregnancy three and a half weeks ago, he would try to talk to the baby even though I wasn't fully developed yet and try his best to make sure that I was comfortable at all times. He would always remind me about how I had made him the happiest man in the world, but little did he know that he had made me much happier. He crouched down in front of me and gently started to rub my stomach. "I want it to be a girl... if its a girl I can protect the both of you, forever... and I'd never let anybody or anything hurt you both" he whispered whilst holding a deep eye contact with me, almost as if he was letting me know that he had never been more serious with anything in his life until now.
"What should we name her?, if it is a girl" I smiled whilst placing my hand over his. "We'll think of names later, but I'm thinking something that begins with an 'A' right?" he said causing the both of us to erupt into laughter.
Austin glanced down over at the clock before turning his attention back to me. "I gotta go up to my study to make several important calls before 9, but I'll be down later to book our reservations for tonight" he said before picking up his phone on the table. "Okay honey, take as long as you need" I smiled before getting up from the sofa. He smiled down at me and leaned down to peck my lips before turning around to walk in the direction of the stairs.
I watched him walk up the stairs before picking up the plate of cookies and turning to walk towards the kitchen. I went to pour myself a glass of water but stopped as I heard footsteps walking into the kitchen and I quickly spun my head around to see Adam leaning on the door with a smug look on his face. Unlike his usual black suit get-up which he wore to work everyday, he was dressed in a plain white shirt, black jeans and sneakers and also a black hat. He looked pretty normal and by taking one god look at him right then you wouldn't think that he was a trained bodyguard who was working for Austin, but simply an intruder breaking into the mansion. I shot him a puzzled look, wondering what he was doing here by this time of the night, and he flashed one of his usual smiles, before flipping his hat to the back and slowly walking over to me. I wasn't sure if it was my imagination yet again, but as he came closer and closer a knot started to form in the back of my throat.
He stepped in front of me and peered down at me, almost as if he was mocking the height difference between us before slipping his hands inside his pockets. After a couple seconds of silence I cleared my throat before deciding to speak up. "Uhm Adam what are you doing here by this time, did Austin call you for something?" I asked staring back up at him. For a moment I swear I had seen his eyes slowly flicker down to my lips, leaving me feeling quite bewildered.
"I uh... I forgot something so I came to pick it up" he replied before awkwardly scratching the back of his head. "Were you about to get some water, let me get you that, you should rest since you're now pregnant" he smiled before walking over to the sink to fetch me a glass of water.
I playfully rolled my eyes before following after him to stop him. I took the glass cup out of her hand and placed it back down on the side before speaking up. "You always help me out in a lot of things but really Adam, I can handle it. I know its your job but you don't have to do some of the things you do like fetch me some water, or come with me to work on your days off, or even carry everything for me... if I didn't know better I'd say you do all those things just to get on Austin's good side" I smiled crossing my arms but his expression remained the same. "I already told you... I do all those things because I want to not because I get paid tons of money. At first I wanted the job just for the money but when he assigned me to watch and guard you along with Alex and Ethan..." he drifted off before uttering something that caused me to take a couple steps back. "I started to fall for you, Ally..."
"What?" I questioned staring up at him gobsmacked. I couldn't believe what he had just said but looking back to the time that he had been working for Austin, it all began to add up and make sense, seeing as how he acted so differently towards me. Shifting my eyes away from him, I turned around to walk away but he quickly pulled me back by the arm and held onto me tightly so I wouldn't have a chance of escaping from his grip.
He lowered his head and sighed before cursing under his breath and speaking up. "Look at first I thought I was crazy for having feelings for you because you're my boss's wife but now... but now I don't regret it. The only thing Austin has is his money, he says one thing and does the other, he'll get bored of you sooner or later and then he'll start to have an affair. Women are constantly seeking his attention and throwing themselves at him everyday, don't you see it too?, they don't care that he's married and one day he's going to get tempted and give in to one of them and where does that leave you huh?" he spoke quietly as his grip tightened around my arm. "I know I'm putting you on the spot but I wouldn't be saying and doing all this if I didn't love you Ally, I-
Before he could finish his sentence I quickly snatched my arm away from him before raising my hand to slap him hard across the face. As the sound of my slap connecting to his cheek echoed in the room, I went to slap his other cheek but he quickly caught my hand before trying his best to calm me down. "Get of me!" I snapped quickly shoving him away by the chest. "Now I see what your real intentions are, you're just like everybody else who's only looking to ruin things between me and my Husband... get outta here" I spoke harshly about to turn around and walk out the kitchen, but he pulled me back once again.
He pulled me over to the counter and arched my back a little before wrapping his arms behind me tightly. "Are you seriously that naive, you know that no man is faithful to one woman the whole of his life, especially a man like Austin" he hissed trying to get me from struggling in his arms. As I was about to scream he quickly covered my mouth roughly and I felt my eyes begin to sting. I felt weak and helpless, the two emotion that I dreaded most of all to ever feel. I felt his hot breath linger on my neck, leaving a cold shiver in my body and my mind began to quickly drift back to that familiar night where I had my sanity and purity ripped away from me, leaving a wounded scar in my heart forever. As Adam roamed his hands all over my body, I started to remember the feel of their hands when they pushed me down and forced me to do things that haunted me for a long, long time. Here I was, finding myself in that situation yet again, and just like back then, I felt helpless and incapable and there was nothing that I could do to stop it.
I began to scream into his hand, but unfortunately no sound was coming out. My eyes widened as he started to slowly grind on me whilst moving his hand up my shirt as I struggled even more to be free. "Stop pretending that you don't want this Ally. I know you want me to fuck you, I can fuck you better than he can" he whispered the last bit. I finally found the strength in me to elbow him in the chest and as he groaned and cursed to himself, I wasted no time in rushing out towards the kitchen door, but before I could reach the living room, he quickly picked me up before slamming me against the wall so that my back was facing him. "Austin... Austin!" I screamed loudly before he could cover my mouth once again.
"Would you just shut the fuck up!" he snapped whilst gripping onto my hair.
"Stop! stop it!" I screamed into his hand but I knew that he wasn't stopping anytime soon. "I've waited far too long for this" he whispered as he roughly moved down to my collarbone before moving down to suck my neck. Tears began to rapidly fill my eyes as I pleaded for him to stop and let me go.
Just as I was about to give up all hope, I heard footsteps running towards the kitchen several seconds later and I quickly opened my eyes to see Austin standing near the door with his eyes widened. His nostrils began to flare with anger as Adam quickly stepped back away from me whilst gazing over at Austin terrified. His expression had all sorts of emotions. He was infuriated as his face and neck became red and the feeling he had in his heart was resentful. The taste in his mouth had almost became tart and every bone in his body shaked with spite. The look in his eyes as he gaped over at Adam had instantly changed the aura of the room. I had never seen him look so furious and angry. Within a split second later, he quickly rushed over to Adam and threw a punch at his jaw causing him to fall to the floor.
I stood with my arms joined together as I watched Austin beat down on him mercifully, causing blood to rapidly gush out of him. "How dare you lay a finger on my wife?! I hired you out of pity and this is how you repay me" he yelled before picking his head up and forcefully ramming it into the wall. "I'll fucking kill you, you son of a bitch!" he yelled, getting up and kicking him in the stomach before storming over to the cupboards to pull out his silver pistol. Before he could walk back over to him, Adam quickly got up and ran out the kitchen and over to the front door. Austin quickly chased him, but he unfortunately couldn't get to him quicker enough as Adam was already out the mansion.
I watched as he cursed angrily to himself and knocked over a couple things before pulling out his phone from his pockets to call someone. "James, Adam had just run out of my mansion, I want you to go check his apartment and find him wherever he run of to and bring him back here right away" he ordered before hanging up the phone.
He ran his fingers through his messy hair and paced back and fourth before stopping to look over at me. His eyes began to slowly soften as he saw the look on my face, caused by Adam. He gazed over at me defeatedly and morosely, and I could tell that he was blaming himself for what had just happened. Sighing to himself, he placed his gun to the side before slowly walking over to me. "Did he hurt you?" he asked whilst breathing in and out. He cupped my cheek and gazed down at me dishearteningly. I tried to hold in my tears so that he would stop blaming himself for what happened, but I couldn't hold it in any longer as I found tears spewing out of my eyes not even a minute later. He quickly pulled me into his chest and cupped the back of my head before stroking it gently. "I'll kill him for doing this to you" he whispered whilst trying to hold in his anger.
After a couple minutes, he slowly pulled away to dry away all of my tears before picking me up bridal style and leading me up to our bedroom.
~Hours later.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the bed to see that Austin wasn't in it. I glanced over at the clock to see that it was now 1:30 pm, and my mind began to recall back to what happened several hours ago. I yawned tiredly before looking over to see Austin sitting on the edge of the bed. He hung his head low and blew onto a cigarette whilst clutching onto the silver pistol in his hand, and I could tell that he was also thinking back to what happened. Each day he always made sure to remind me that since I was the only thing in the world that mattered to him, protecting me was his first priority, but he had failed to do that against Adam. Of course it wasn't his fault at all, but knowing Austin, I knew that he wouldn't let something like this go so easily.
After a while, he placed his cigar to the side before turning back to face me and I quickly shot my eyes before he could realize that I was awake. I heard him let out a deep sigh before leaning over to place a kiss down on my forehead. I felt his hand slowly and gently stroke my cheek. I made sure to keep my eyes closed because I knew that if I opened them and saw the distraught look in his eyes, I would end up bursting into tears yet again, and that was something that I couldn't do for his sake.
He slowly took my hand and kissed it before carefully placing it back down so he wouldn't wake me up. "I love you..." he whispered before pushing some hair out of my face. "I'm sorry that I couldn't be there to protect you from him at first but I promise I'll never let you out of my sight again" he said before pausing for a little while. "I'll do anything to protect you... you and our unborn baby, so forgive me Ally... I won't ever let you go through something like that ever again" he exclaimed before sighing to himself afterwards. "I feel like I'm going crazy knowing that he touched you in such a way... god I'll kill him" he whispered the last bit before letting go of my hand.
I was about to open my eyes and speak up but stopped at the sound of a voice coming from behind the door. "Mr Moon, I'm sorry it took me so long but I've found him. He's tied up downstairs sir" I heard James say.
As Austin leaned down to place a quick kiss on my lips, I quickly opened my eyes to see him placing the cigarette back between his lips and picking up his gun before strolling towards the door. "I love you too..." I whispered as a tear slowly flew down my eye and onto the pillow. I never thought that a man like him could ever love and protect me in a way that I never saw coming.
We all know what's going to happen to Adam, he should've stayed away from Ally knowing how Austin would react!. This chapter took a lot of hours to write so I hope you all enjoyed it. Also don't forget to review and let me know what you thought of:
-Dez and Trish getting a divorce
-Alexis's engagement to Carter
-Adam's stupid actions
-Austin blaming himself for what happened to Ally.
