My five husbands by Loren rivera (good english books to read .TXT) 📕

             It was not possible and safe for nora to travel to Sicily. So, blake was the one to travel. He thought that they could organize a funeral for Alexa there only and then the guys can leave to go to their private island. 

           On the other hand,the guys did not know the situation clearly. The guards had just informed them about Alexa's death. And Blake trying to kill himself. Luca was furious after hearing this. Alexa being dead was what she deserved for her actions, but his father's actions were not justified. 

           On the brighter side, nora's condition had improved greatly. She had to be on a wheelchair for a week or so but besides that everything was great. The guys thought it would be the best for eva to hear the news from her father, so they had not still informed her about Alexa's death. 

          The guards were accompanying blake from Sicily as it was best to not leave him alone during a time like this. Blake was silent during the whole journey. He had not spoken a single word since the basement. Alexa's body was being being brought in a freezer in a carrier vehicle so that the body does not decompose. 

After an hour: 

          Blake reached messina. He was in a dilemma. The guards took him out of the wagon practically carrying him. Not until he heard eva's voice, he came out of the dilemma. 

Eva: Daddy.. 

Blake: Princess? 

           When everyone heard eva's words, they rushed towards the scene. Every family member was present there. Nora was in a wheelchair far from the scene. James had informed her about Alexa's demise. So she thought it would be best if she stayed far and gave Luca and eva, some time to process. And she was also scared that they would blame her for their mother's death. So, it was best, she stayed far for some time. 

           James was not ready to leave her for a second. So, he was behind her wheelchair taking her wherever she wanted to go. They were standing afar, but not that far as they could hear clearly what they were saying. But, they were out of sight for them as a circle had formed by people where Blake and eva were standing.  

Blake: Princess, your mom said she loved you and Luca. 

Eva: What? Where is she? 

Blake: In heaven. 

Luca: More like hell. 

Blake: LUCA... 

          When eva heard of her mother's death, her world stopped spinning. Darkness enveloped her and she was accepting that darkness with open arms. She was about to fall to the ground when shawn caught her just in time. Silent tears were falling down her eyes. She knew what was going to happen to her mother but still it was her mother. Despite what she had done, she had always loved eva. 

          Shawn picked up his little sister in his arms as she was not able to support her own body. He knew how she was feeling. He had been through that. So he did not say anything. Just pulled her closer to him and stood there. Her tears were soaking his shirt but he did not mind. If it had been any other situation, he would have cried too for Alexa, but not after her helping that bastard. 

Blake:Luca, do not speak ill of your mother. Atleast not after her death. She did what she did for a reason. 

Luca: Oh, okay, so did she tell you the reason behind her motives? Please enlighten us dear father. 

Blake: Ron was her real son, her biological son. She had an affair with senior john after our marriage and ron was her first son. 

         Everyone was shocked after what they heard. Never in the world could they imagine all this. When eva heard this, she was also shocked. She lost more respect for her mother. 

Lucas: What? How? 

Blake: Dad, remember, after a year of my marriage, alexa gave birth to a child that died, well it didn't. It was John's child. Ron was that child and john took him away from her. 

Luca: So, how does this make it reasonable or better, actually it makes it worse. The little love that I had for her in my heart has also vanished. 

          Luca and blake were so angry at each other. That they were screaming now instead of talking.  

Luca: Please tell me that you tortured her to death before you killed her. Dad, you have only told us that traitors should deserve the worst death. As first they act like friends and then stab us in the back. 

         Daniel was going to say something but he stopped when his eyes met with nora. She was telling do not say something he will regret. So he kept his silence. 

Blake: I didn't torture her. 

Luca: So, you killed her the moment you saw her, right? 

Blake: I didn't kill her, she took away her own life. I gave her the way out. To leave and to never show her face to anyone. 

Luca: I can't believe you,dad. After everything she had done to us, you told her to leave so after some years she comes back to finish her task. 

Blake: Well, she did what she did for her son. 

Luca: So what, weren't eva and I her children. She chose him over our whole family and still you are standing in front of us and defending her actions. 

          Blake was in tears. He knew what Luca was saying was true but he couldn't kill her. 

Luca: And you were not supposed to be the one to decide her fate. It should have been nora and her husbands. 

Blake: I couldn't kill her,I love her. And everyone is fine right. Nora is safe, her child is safe and everyone is alive right. So, why should she be tortured if she had not done some serious harm. And, she is dead, other than her everyone is well and alive. So, you better not say a word against your mother, Luca!

Luca: Alive, huh. For your information, everyone is not alive and well. Today we lost a family member but it was certainly not mom. 

Joseph: Stop, luc. 

Luca: No brother,let me speak. He should know that the person he loved so much today is responsible for taking away an innocent life.
