Autumn was standing against the grill of the terrace and from their she was looking down to the swimming pool where Ethan and Logan were trying their best to learn the swimming skills from the woman who was instructed to look after them, although they were the sharp and smart kids and quickly learn whatever it is taught to them but to her surprise they were finding the swimming lesson difficult and irritating, and the young woman has to keep her hand around them to protect them from drowning.

Autumn found the scene humorous and was enjoying watching her kids trying to defeat each other in whoever slide down first from the slides that were attached with the pool on the left corner. The pool was very big, and had different level of depths going from left to right. For their age and height, it was safe for them to stay on the left area of the pool.

Alessandro was also with them and had left just half an hour before because of a call he had received, she wondered what could be the matter which had took so long for him to get free from the call, she hoped everything would be fine because the kids were enjoying here and she does not want to disappoint them by saying they had to leave because daddy had some urgent matters to deal.

Alessandro also forced her to join them in the pool but she couldn't tell him that she can't swim instead she said she would love to see the father and son duo enjoy, she took many pictures of them enjoying to keep them as a memory for her and also to show them to Natalie. On order of Alessandro she was then served a large bowl of fruit cocktail and well every fruit in them was her favorite so soon it was turned in to half, she felt refreshing by eating those fruit. She sighed and took the another bite of a finely cut piece of kiwi.

'Haven't you finished it yet?' she yelps in fear due to the sudden interruption in her thoughts.

'You scared me!' she turned to glare at him, however, her own cheeks turned red when she saw him standing in front of her with just black trouser and matching slipper, his naked chest was a sight to view for her. His fit body always makes her wonder if he does the workouts on daily basis but right now at this moment seeing his six packs and strong arms, her all assumptions turned in to affirmation.

'Liked what you see?' a smirk made its way on his face and seeing that she scowled and immediately connected her eyes with his green crystal orbs. His hair was still damped which he was pushing back by running the fingers in them, not letting them to rest on his forehead.

'Why you haven't wear the shirt?' Alessandro shrug his shoulder and lean down towards her, Autumn stepped back in confusion but he holds her waist to stop her on her feet and took the half piece of kiwi from the fork in his mouth. Her mouth opens in shock.

'It was mine' she frowned.

'I know, I wanted to taste' he wipes the mouth with tissue paper and passed his charming smile at her, his hand was still around her slim waist, taking a chance he pushed her towards him until the distance between them was closed. 'What are you doing?' she squirms in his hold and asked in whisper, not forgetting to turn his head to look at the boys.

'They are fine, let them enjoy like they want. My people will keep them safe so you don't have to worry about anything' Autumn bit her lower lip, but nodded after thinking for a while.

'Okay, but what are you up to?' she tried to remove his hand, but he tightens his grip and leaned down to capture her lips, slowly walking he rested her back to the wall so he can deepen the kiss, a moan escape from Autumn's mouth, her hand moved towards his hair, the desire she was holding since morning.

'I love you Autumn' breaking the kiss he whispered to her in raspy voice, looking in her eyes, he could read so many fears and questions. Autumn was at loss of words, there was a lot to say and argue or may be to put a stop to this, but her own feelings for him were betraying her and didn't let her to say no immediately.

'I know you have no emotions for me right now, you think that I am a jerk and arrogant but believe me, that is all for outsiders, for my family I am a different Alessandro and I want you to look at that side of me and then decide.' Autumn's breath hitched at his confession.

'Say something' he rubbed his thumb lightly on her lower lip, Autumn closed her eyes feeling his touch, her breathing got fast.

'You deserve better, I am no one compare to you, just an average no not average, instead I am below average girl. You are handsome and rich, whereas I am' she did not realize what she was saying until Alessandro attacked her lips once again, but it was quick, he left and looked in to her brown eyes.

'I have already told you that whenever you will say nonsense or will argue I will make you stop in my way' Autumn looked in his eyes with tears. Alessandro closed his eyes and prepared himself for dealing with her.

'I always listened that woman scream in happiness when they are said by someone that he loves them but here you are crying and giving me a complaining look, aren't you happy, you dislike me that much?' Autumn sniffed and shook her head, wiping the tears from her cheeks she opened her mouth to speak.

'Why would you love me? except being a mother of your sons, I have nothing which may attract you towards me' her insecurity which Samuel has engraved in her soul four years back was speaking up.

'Do you know what makes a woman beautiful for a man?' she shook her head. Keeping her head hanging low.

'You are sweet, smart, loving and brave. You don't scare from me which make you beautiful for me, someone I am afraid of going against is you Autumn, and I do not hate this, in fact I find it perfect, and no woman has ever make me feel like which I feel when I am near you' he rubbed his thumb on her cheek bones.

'I want to love you, live every moment with you, why? I don't know, I only know that you are the one my soul want' he kissed her on the corner of the lips, she bit her tongue, she was craving to taste his lips.

'A woman becomes powerful when she carries a man's child in her womb, you have carried mine, when you shouldn't have, you had very easy option at that time to get rid of them and very solid excuse but you chose opposite. You gave birth to them, you raise them and worked hard to give them a good life. I am in debt to you Autumn, and for this if you will ask me my wealth I will give it to you, but I know you are not the one who get impress by the money, another reason which makes you beautiful in front of me' a tear slid down on her cheek.

'I will not push you for anything, let's take things slow, I know my world is overwhelming for you and you need time to accept and adjust yourself in this world, rest assure I am with you, you will always find me behind you, but please give me a chance to prove myself as a best man for you' cupping her face in his palms he pleaded to her.

Autumn felt as if her broken heart was healed by the words Alessandro had told to her, the pain she was in from four years due to the harshness and bitterness of Samuel's words, today Alessandro just washed them and had removed from her memory.

'Are you still insecure?' he asked worriedly when she didn't say anything and kept crying.

She shook her head vigorously.

'Thanks' Alessandro looked at her in bewildered.

'You don't realize what your words had done to my heart, thanks a lot' she held his palms in her hands.

'Alessandro Martini, I am not sure what I feel for you is love or not, but I want to give it a try.' A winning smile plastered on his lips and he cheered.

'Thanks my love' he lifted her face and planted a kiss on her lips, opening the mouth they both were exploring each other when a voice interrupted them.

'Mommy, Daddy, oops, we did not see anything, see' while they were busy with each other they did not notice when their babies have come to the terrace looking for them.
