Hey lovies!! You aren't dreaming, I know you are probably like, "OMFG BUMOFLOUIS95 uploaded twice in one day?! YAAAASSSSS! LAWL", I decided to upload again today since I have been getting a lot feedback from you guys. Thanks a lot guys it means alot!! I'm in such a good mood, I talked to my boyfriend today only for a few short minutes before he went to sleep. We are in different time zones, the difference is 7 hours. If 30 minutes of talking is all I get once a week rather than nothing at all, I will take the 30 minutes over nothing at all. But anyway I hope you guys like this chapter. Like I said we have about 2 chapters left after this one before it ends. I know, it saddens me to see this come to a close. I've come a long way since I first started this book about three years ago lol. It came a long way from a short and no plot story to this work of art. But anyways enough of this rant, I'll write more about my growth of an author later on. As for now, here is your next chapter. Happy Reading!!

XXIV

Everyone had gathered at the Gabrielli mansion for dinner that night. She could hear everyone downstairs getting acquainted, her nerves came back to her once she heard her sister had arrived first. She hadn't seen her sister since she left, in fact she hadn't seen any of them since she had left. She sighed and knew it was almost time to make an appearance. Diego had asked if he could stay with her and she agreed, he had calmed her down and talked her into going down to see her family. The maid had come in and said that they had just been waiting for her mother. She looked to her brother and he nodded.

"It's time hermanita. It's now or never.'

She nodded and opened the door. Diego followed her to the stairs, he took her hand and helped her go down the stairs. She saw her family all looking towards her. She paused at the bottom of the stairs when she saw her siblings staring at her with so much love. She had thought that they would hate her for leaving the way she had. Clara had been the first to approach her, she twirled a piece of her hair.

"Red? I thought you would never go red, you said blondes have more fun."

Alexia laughed and hugged her little sister tightly and Clara hugged her back just as tightly.

"I missed you so much Lexa, you have no idea."

She pulled away from her sister and looked at how much she had grown. She twirled her little sister and laughed while wiping her tears away.

"I guess I lied to you then.. You have grown taller than me and you do have an ass but no tits."

She shoved her sister and laughed. Nikolai couldn't believe his eyes, his oldest sister had returned. He had passed a shy Mickey over to his father and walked over to his sister. He grabbed her in his arms and hugged her. He twirled them around and they both chuckled. He kissed her hair and held her face in his hands.

"It's really you, my Lexia. You've returned."

She smiled and kissed his wrists and stared at her little brother.

"Niko, you aren't the little boy that used to follow me around with your little soccer ball. Look at you, you have grown so much brother."

Niko chuckled and nodded. He then turned towards Camden and the Beverelys. Camden hugged her sister in law, she had been there when her husband at the time lost his older sister. She had also been there when she broke her brother's heart. Camden never blamed Alexia for leaving or for hurting her brother. Alexia must of had a reason for leaving and this dinner most likely was set up to confirm that. She just hoped that Ethan would stop being a little brat and suck it up. He is currently sitting in his car outside, scared to face Alexia. Alexia when around to everyone, to Conrad and to his fiance Natalie, to Vincent and to Susan. Then she finally went to her father and saw the little shy boy hiding in his grandfather's chest. She smiled and touched his hand.

"Who is this handsome little boy?"

Michelangelo looked up at his aunt and smiled.

"I'm Michelangelo Nikolai Gabrielli and you are?"

Alexia smiled.

"I am Alexia Gabrielli, I am your daddy's sister."

Mickey smiled again.

"You my Zia? Mommy I have anofer zia!"

Clara came to stand next to Alexia.

"I am your Zia too, I am Clara Gabrielli."

He giggled and hugged both his aunts. Everyone chuckled but then Diego came and placed his hand on Alexia's waist. Ae he placed his hand on her waist, the door opened and Ethan walked in to see the woman he loved in the arms of another man. Alexia turned to the open door and gasped. There he stood, he had grown his beard out but kept his hair the same length she had liked it. The look he had on his face made her cringe. She had seen that look, she never wanted to ever see that look on his face ever again. She turned to her family and gave them a small smile.

"I would like to introduce to you Diego Salazar."

She paused when her mother walked into the room and saw who was there.

"What is the meaning of this? Alexia?"

She nodded.

"Yes mother, it is me. As I was saying, I would like to introduce to you Diego Salazar, he had a rough childhood. His mother had abandoned him when she gave birth to him. You see, she had another family of her own, she had been married to a rich man but had gotten pregnant with her lover's child. She didn't want this child so she told her husband she wanted to go away for a vacation. He agreed but he never knew where she had gone since she had told him she wanted to go by herself. She had been gone for a year and when she came back, she had been different. Soon after she gave birth to her son and abandoned him at a church in Mexico, she came back to her husband. Then came little Alexia Gabrielli... You see mother, this is the son you abandoned all those years ago."
