Elijah Wealthmoor's car went off the bridge earlier this afternoon. Nova was found and rescued but she survived with a badly damaged on her right leg and a big hit to her head but Elijah was not found.

The search for him went on for hours but there seems to be no sign of him anywhere. The search is still ongoing as we hope Nova wakes from Coma soon.

The News went viral, hitting like thunder and both Andrew and Noah had just seen it.

"Adrian!" Both men gasped at once, rushing out of their room and into that of Adrian's. Once the door was opened, Adrian sat crossed legs on the floor, his eyes glued to his phone as tears streamed down his face. "Tiger." Andrew approached the boy with caution. "Are you alright?" That was a stupid question he knows but Adrian looked spaced out of this world. Andrew sat in front of him and Adrian hugged him and cried wetting Andrew's shirt with his tears. "Shhh... they will find him. Elijah is strong, he will be found." Andrew whispered into his ears and kissed his hair. Noah soon joined and cried with both men. Deep inside, Andrew was terrified and he feared for the worse.

Oliver and Alison soon arrived shortly after and Andrew was happy to see them. He also needed to leave. He's not just going to sit around and do nothing, his best friend has just been in a terrible accident and his body has not been found.

"Tiger, I have to go help in some way. I can't sit here and do nothing. We need to find Elijah!" Adrian couldn't utter a single word, he just stared into space and cried. "Take care of him and do not let him out of your sight." He left his warnings with them, giving a quick kiss to Noah before he left.

*********

Two weeks had long past and there still was no sign of Elijah. The lake in which the car had fallen and its perimeters even beyond have been thoroughly searched over and again. It's like he has just disappeared from the surface of the earth.

"What now?" Andrew asked the uniformed man sitting in front of him.

"If forensics didn't show he was in the car, we would have thought otherwise. We will find him." The man assured.

"When? It's being two bloody weeks! What if he's dead and afloat some ungodly place?" Andrew felt his eyes burn and tears soon followed. "Excuse me." He whispered, getting out of the office and slowly made his way outside.

Two weeks, Nova is alive and Elijah is missing, even if he was dead, his body should at least be found so he would rest in peace.

What news would he bring back to Adrian? The boy hasn't eaten well in the past weeks and he hasn't even left his bedroom, neither has he agreed to speak with anyone since then.

Andrew felt like a big failure.

He's failed Elijah and he has failed Adrian.

Dead or Alive he won't rest until he's found.

An incoming call on his phone knocked him out of his thoughts.

*********

Adam Littlefield, his wife, and Jared with his wife have just arrived at the hospital, Nova was supposed to get out of Coma today and they were all there to give their support. Jared has become a bitter man since the disappearance of his son. If only they would just find him, dead or alive at least he would have his son's body to put to rest.

"Honey, " his wife called softly and he blinked to meet the woman's face. "The doctor is here."

"Nova is awake and ready to meet her family." The man announced and they followed him.

Once inside the room, Nova peered her eyes open to greet her family. They had refused that the kids follow them this time.

"Mom, " she whispered, her voice barely audible.

The woman hugged her and they both cried.

"I'm so sorry." Nova cried. "I'm so sorry."

"Now that you're awake there are two investigators here waiting to ask a few questions if you're up for it." The doctor told her.

"Yes." She muttered and made to get out of bed but then it struck her, like a sharp blade piercing into one's chest and digging into the heart. "No!" She cried out, her eyes glued on her leg. "Where is my leg?" She cried, staring into the faces of those around. "What happened to my leg?!" She yelled. They tried to get her to calm down but she wouldn't until the doctor injected her and she soon fell asleep.

Adam stood like a statue the whole time, his eyes barely blinking. His own beautiful daughter has just lost one of her legs. The man soon started to choke on air. The doctor got to him just in time before he collapsed to the ground.

"He's having an attack." Was all he told the rest before Adam Littlefield was carried away.

Felicia cried, her husband has just being rushed out while her daughter sleeps, missing one of her legs.

******

A few hours later, the doctor returned looking awful. He couldn't even meet the eyes of those sitting in wait, even Nova was awake at this time but she hasn't uttered a word.

"I'm sorry." The man started and the rest they figured out themselves.

Well, what a day.

"We tried to save your leg, Mrs. Nova but we had to do this in the end in order to avert more damage. The investigators will be with you shortly." The doctor soon left them and the room was clouded in silence, painful silence.

Adam Littlefield has died of a heart attack.

By the time the investigators walked in, Nova was ready to tell them the whole truth.

"Mrs, Nova." A woman dressed in a suit greeted and smiled politely while the other's made to leave the room.

"Can my family be here?" Nova requested.

"Yes, why not." The other man responded.

"My name is Sophia and this is my partner James, we are here to ask you a few questions, I promise it won't take time."

Nova nodded. The room was big enough and it has couches and a center table. Both investigators had their seats clutching a notepad in hands.

"Do you remember what happened on the day of your accident?" The lady was the first to ask.

Nova stayed silent for a little while then she cried. "Yes, I do."

"Can you tell us," James asked.

"I had gone into the car with Elijah, I sat behind him and when we had gotten to the bridge, I took my scarf and wrapped it around his neck, I held onto it tightly behind the headrest and strangled him with it." A loud gasp fell of the parent's mouth as they watched Nova in horror.

She had just admitted she killed their son.

"Are you saying he was already dead before the car went off the bridge." The man interrogated.

"He's stopped moving, Everything happened so quickly, I'm sorry Daddy In-law, I was so upset that he was going to divorce me, I didn't know what came over me, I'm sorry."

"Are you aware that your husband's body hasn't been found?" The woman asked.

"Yes."

"And you're aware of the troubles you're in?" The man asked.

"Yes."

They had just gotten on their feet when the doors pulled apart and in walked the commissioner along with other police officers behind them standing on crutches was Elijah and Andrew.

"You're alive?" Nova asked shocked. "You should be dead. You should die. I am willing to go to jail but then I want you dead! You ruined my life!" Nova ranted like a crazy person.

"Mr. Jared Wealthmoor, Adam Littlefield and Nova Wealthmoor, you're all under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder and Nova for attempted murder."

"Mr. Littlefield died this morning." The doctor told him.

"Take Mr. Wealthmoor away. Nova, your trial starts the day you're discharged but Mario's and Wealthmoor's start today."

"I'm happy to see that you are alive, son." Wealthmoor smiled as he was taken out of the room.

"Would you ever forgive me?" Mary Wealthmoor asked her son, Elijah just looked at her and walked out of the room.

**********

Twos weeks has long passed since his return and his broken leg was perfectly healed, he lay stretched out on the sofa with a huge grin plastered on his face as he watched Adrian show Mila what and what to add in the dinner she was preparing. Justin and Liam played hide and seek with Billy.

He owed his life to the diver who found him in the water and had carried him to his boat, gotten him medically treated until he was able to walk again. If it wasn't for the kind Rupert Davis, he would have died in that water.

The worst days are behind them he hoped.

Both Nova and his father have been trialed and now seating somewhere in prison doing what prisoners do.

Oliver held off his wedding due to the accident and today he and Andrew went to try on his tux for next Saturday, Noah went with Alison to the Bride's shop, while Adrian and Mila fix dinner.

That evening, everyone had arrived including Michael, his husband, and two boys.

Dinner was amazing, filled with joy and laughter as they all talked about things that have happened and are yet to happen.

Come Saturday, Oliver will marry his wife and as planned both he and Andrew would propose to the men of their dreams.

Let the wind of love blow down on them.

SOMEWHERE IN A CABIN...

*******

"That was amazing!" A woman exhaled after a round of passionate lovemaking.

"I always do you right." Benedict kissed her forehead before tucking a stray hair behind her ears.

"Yes, you do." She laughed softly.

"I heard there is a big wedding coming up this Saturday, Elijah and Andrew are the guests of honor, the media are going crazy over it."

"Is that right." Nova smiled evilly at him. "What do you say we crash in on that party?" She asked, twisting her lips in a sick smirk as her eyes fell on her fake leg.

"Anything for my lady."

"Mommy!" A four-year-old girl ran into the room giggling as her father picked her up and placed her in the middle.

Nova brushed her fingers through her daughter's hair and kissed her cheeks.

'Those fools most still think that I am locked away for life." Nova met her husband's eyes.

"Which is exactly what we want them to think." Ben kissed her and she moaned.

"You're right." She muttered between kisses.

"When I told my father that Zoe is your daughter, he had no choice but to help me. Imagine the poor child growing up without her mother." Benedict made faces and Nova laughed. She knew the day will come when the little girl would come in handy.

"I knew I was making the right decisions four years ago, the day I secretly married the governor's special son." The woman smiled with that twinkle in her eyes.

"And also found our little girl"

"Let the games begin." She chuckled.
