Alice knows how much Alex yearns for his mother's love. He often reads his Dad's red diary because he feels close to his Mom; he still spends hours sitting next to his Mom's grave.
He still dreams about her, that she is caressing his hair when he is sleeping. Alex always says that he can feel the presence of his mother sometimes.
Alice doesn't know whether it is true or just his imagination as he misses his Mom too much.
Alex felt like if his daughter is the reincarnation of his mother, he should try to fulfill all his daughter's wishes even if it is against his wish.
It was soon evening, and the guests started coming. It was a family get together so all the close friends and family were invited.
Mr. Morris came with Alice's mother first; they are very happy together. Mandy also came; he had arranged marriage and luckily got a good girl to carry on his life.
His wife knew about Mandy's feelings for Alice in the past, but she never made a fuss over it because she knew Alice and Mandy were not the people who would cheat their partner behind their backs.
And Mandy never avoided his wife; he was a perfect husband and a father.
Lastly, Dylan entered with his wife and son; Dylan met his wife during a gang war; she was not part of any gang, she was passing by that place at the wrong time, and Dylan shot her by mistake.
He immediately took her to the hospital, and slowly during her recovery, they both fell in love and got married. They have a son named James Miller.
His son took over Dylan's position as a mafia leader.
The moment Dylan entered he was about to hug Alice, but again Alex dragged him away and said, "Stay away from, my wife."
Dylan said, "Big bro, she is my sister," Alex snorted, saying, "but not real."
And they started arguing again; it is the same like Daniel and Alex.
They both will always argue about their relationship with Alice; Dylan says he is not less than a biological brother to Alice so he can hug her, but Alex always drags him away, saying that he is not Alice's biological brother.
Everyone was chit-chatting when Dylan asked loudly, "where is our princess for whom we are here?"
Alexa was only a girl between Alex, Dylan, and Mandy, so everyone spoiled her to the fullest.
Just as Dylan finished his words, a voice came, "Uncle Dylan, I am here".
Everyone turned towards the staircase from where Alexa stepped down. She was wearing a flared gown, and she was trying to step down the steps in a hurry, and her steps tripped.
Everyone was stunned, thinking that she might fall, and they ran towards her, but James held her in his arms before she could fall.
Everyone was astonished by James's speed. James was holding Alexa in his arms like she does not have any weight, he mumbled, which only Alexa could hear, "Still clumsy like childhood."
Alexa balanced her body and stood straight; she felt embarrassed. She doesn't know why, but she has a very different feeling when it comes to James.
She saw him after two years, and they met in such an awkward situation. She kept her eyes down, feeling ashamed of her carelessness.
She likes to be with James, but at the same time, she is scared of him.
She wants to talk to him a lot, but her tongue freezes when James stands in front of her.
He has a great personality; he has a broad chest, eight pack abs, 6.5 feet in height. Alexa can easily hide behind him. They all were childhood friends, and they used to play together.
James was four years older than her.
But Alexa didn't have the guts to see in his deep black eyes. It feels like she will be lost in it.
Sometimes she feels that James wants to say many things to her, but he never says anything.
Everyone heaved a sigh in relief when Alexa was safe. James walked away from her, and Alexa carefully got down from.
Everyone was talking and laughing; Liam Scot, son of Mandy Scot, joined the party a little late.
He hugged Alice tightly the moment he entered the living room. When Liam hugged her, she felt a burning gaze on her, but everyone was busy with their own stuff when she turned around to look.
She thought she must be overthinking, or maybe she was still tired or perhaps because of jetlag.
Everyone was enjoying eating and drinking. It was soon a late-night, all the parents were about to leave, but the kids didn't follow their parents back home, as they had planned for a night out.
Parents could not deny their kids because they hardly get time to hang around together. All the parents left, but Alice, Dylan and Alex had some eye-contact before leaving. No one knows what it was about.
