It's been a month since Antonio confessed his true feelings for Sadie, he also hired contractors to remodel his bedroom for her. That way Sadie would feel more comfortable staying in the room with him. They also went out, and bought all new bedroom furniture, letting her pick out everything that she wanted.

Sadie was in their newly remodeled room, getting ready for Antonio's big night. He snuck up behind her, as she was putting on a dress that she picked out of the closet, and held out in front of her, a beautiful red dress that he had bought for her, hoping she would wear it to the awards.

While showing her the dress, he kissed her cheek, and spoke into her ear "I bought you this dress this morning, I would love for you to wear it tonight, I think it would be the perfect dress. I also believe that you'll raise a ton of money wearing this." he grinned, as she took the dress from his hands and held it up for her to see it.

"I like it." She turned around, and gave him a kiss "Thank you."

"Personally, I think you look extremely sexy in red." he said, looking at her full of lust, and his eyes turning bluer.

"I think that it's great that they are going to help us raise money in Harlow's memory for breast cancer, and donating the money to the cause." she says, putting an arm around his neck, kissing him.

"Thank you again for the dress, I'll try it on right now." she said excitedly, and couldn't wait to see what it looked like on her.

"You're welcome."

Antonio couldn't wait to see her in the dress, he watched her walk away. At first, he stood there waiting for her to come out, but changed his mind. "I'll just wait for you downstairs; Ethan is here anyway."

Sadie tried on the dress from Antonio, and stood there checking herself out in front of the mirror, loving the dress from him. She then finished her look off, by putting on her make up, and doing her hair. She thought her look was perfect and was excited to raise money in Harlow's memory, hoping that it all goes well.

Since Antonio was a well-respected attorney in the area, and with the other attorneys that will be there, and most of them knowing who Harlow was, she figured it should be a good turnout.

She grabbed her red stilettos, and carried them down with her. Her entrance into the living room turned the heads of Antonio and Ethan, with Antonio's mouth dropping, and Ethan couldn't stop looking at her.

"What do you think?" she asked Antonio, modeling the dress to him.

"Forget what he thinks, I think you look amazingly beautiful. You'll be making my sister proud, that's for sure." Ethan blurted out.

Antonio turned to Ethan, giving him a dirty look and not too thrilled about his comment. "First of all, your first remark was uncalled for, and yes she will be making Harlow proud."

"I was only trying to be funny, chill out man." Ethan grinned, he noticed that Antonio was still giving him the evil eye, and gave Antonio a shove from behind. "Relax... besides, I'd like to know, how were you so lucky to get two beautiful women, back to back like this?"

Antonio turned around and faced Ethan, wanting to smack him upside the head. Ethan's eyes got wide, and stuck his arm out. "Damn Antonio chill, all I'm saying is you're a damn lucky guy, that's all."

"That's right, I am a lucky guy, and don't forget that. You do realize that I still owe you a punch in the mouth." He says, grinning back at Ethan.

"You can do that another time, you two have somewhere to be." Ethan joked.

Antonio turned around and walked back over to Sadie. "You look wonderful, are you ready to do this?"

"I'm a little nervous, but I'm ready." Sadie put on her shoes and took Antonio's arm as he held it out for her, and walked her out to the limo.

Once they arrived at the banquet hall and began walking over to the doors, they walked past a group of attorneys that were outside talking amongst themselves, the attorneys stopped talking and were all turning their heads looking at Sadie, pointing and smiling at her, they then began talking quietly while still keeping their eyes on her. She reached up to Antonio's ear and whispered "I hope they aren't talking bad about me."

He placed his hand on the small of her back and leaned into her ear "They're most likely talking about how gorgeous you look tonight." he smiled "Shall we?" he asks, giving her a wink. He walked her to where she needed to be, so that she could get ready for the event.

He gave her a long passionate kiss before leaving, and headed to find their table. She stood in the rehearsal room memorizing her small speech that she had prepared, hoping to not screw it up.

The coordinator went into the dressing room to get the girls, letting them know that it was time. He walked them to the back of the stage, lining them up and instructing them on what to do as they walked down the stage.

Sadie was finally up next, she began inhaling and exhaling slowly, trying to calm her nerves down. Just as she was about to go on stage, the coordinator quickly walked up to her and began adjusting her hair and makeup.

"Have fun." he tells her, before she walked out there.

Sadie walked down the stage smiling, turning her head when she heard whistles from one end of the crowd, it was Antonio's group who were standing and whistling at her. She smiled and waved at them before heading back.

After all the girls walked on the stage, Sadie was called out by the speaker to come join him on the stage. He introduced her as she walked towards him, and mentioned to the crowd about the awareness that she was going to speak about. There was a white screen hanging behind her, that started flashing pictures of Harlow, as well as pictures of her with Antonio and the girls.

Antonio was shocked to see the pictures that were being shown, he had no idea that Sadie gave them pictures to display. His eyes were glued to the screen and had gotten teary eyed, each time it showed a picture of her. He was so touched by Sadie's heart, that it only made him love her even more.

"Good evening... before we get started with the awards this evening, we would like to take a moment of silence in honor of a very special woman who is no longer with us." Everyone got quiet and bowed their heads for a couple minutes, taking their moment of silence.

"Harlow Russo was a brave and courageous young woman, who was taken away from us way too soon at the young age of twenty-nine. In honor of Harlow's memory, we would like to raise awareness of breast cancer, and we would like to ask if you could donate what you can, in her honor. All proceeds raised tonight will go to the Breast Cancer Awareness Charity in her name, to help find a cure for this horrible disease. BCAC is a non-profit organization, that one hundred percent of its proceeds go to the cancer research. If you have any questions feel free to ask me, or Antonio who is sitting right over at that table." she says, pointing over at Antonio.

"I also would like to say; Antonio Russo will also be donating one million dollars." Antonio stood up waving, before sitting back down.

"Thank you so much." she said, smiling.

Sadie left the stage to have a seat next to Antonio. He stood up as she walked up to the table, giving her a hug, and kissing her on the lips. "You did a wonderful job, you looked wonderful up there." he smiled, whispering in her ear.

Before they started handing out the awards, the waitresses walked the tables filling up everyone's glasses with champagne, and refilling their glasses of water, while servers were placing their meals in front of them. Antonio leaned over to her asking if she would like anything else to drink while the waitress was there taking drink orders.

"No thanks, I'm good." she took a bite of her roasted chicken, and smiled.

"I'll have a double bourbon on the rocks, please." he tells the waitress.

During the meal, the presenter started to speak about the awards and the different categories, they started calling out the names for each of the awards, and having them grab their awards as their names were called. Antonio won three different awards, Attorney of the Year Award, Lifetime Achievement Award and Community Champion Award. His law firm also won an award for Best Law Firm of the Year.

After all the awards were given out, Sadie leaned over to Antonio giving him a kiss on the side of his lips "I'm so proud of you, congratulations."

Antonio was still amazed with Sadie for everything that she has done, he could see that her heart was full of gold, and had no idea that he could ever feel this way about anyone, other than Harlow. The more he looked at her, the bigger his smile was for her "I'm so proud of you for what you did for Harlow and I'm really amazed at what you put together in her honor."

"You're welcome." she smiled "Let's just hope that it was a good turn out tonight."

"I'm not worried."

The coordinator interrupted Sadie and Antonio, letting them know that they had received all the donations and were done being counted. "I'm excited to let you know that over three million dollars was raised tonight. I do have to tell you, there were also four very large donations."

"On top of the other amount?" Sadie questioned.

"Yes, all four totaling eight million dollars."

Both Sadie and Antonio gasped in shock, Antonio placed his hand on her thigh, while leaning back in his chair. He couldn't believe what he just heard, he looked around trying to figure out who would make such a large donation, four of them to be exact. He began rubbing around his mouth, thinking. "Are you going to make an announcement?" Antonio asked curiously.

"Yes, that is why I came over to let you know how much had been raised, I'll have you both come with me to make the announcement, which I will be doing right now."

Sadie and Antonio followed him to the podium, and got everyone's attention by tapping on the microphone. Once all eyes were on him, he began to speak.

"I would like to congratulate everyone on their awards tonight. I would like to also thank everyone for their generous donations to the BCAC in honor of Harlow Russo. Tonight, we raised over eleven million dollars, Antonio confirmed that he will also be donating a million dollars." Everyone began clapping, whistling and cheering. Antonio pulled out his checkbook and signed a check, signing the check for eleven million dollars, then handed him the check.

He looked at the check and coughed when he saw the amount that he wrote the check out for. "Everyone... he just wrote out the check for eleven million dollars, matching the amount raised." he announced, not taking his eyes off the check. He knew he was going to write one for a million, not eleven million.

Antonio and Sadie thanked everyone for their generous donations before exiting the stage. He grabbed his awards, and walked around shaking hands with everyone before going home.

When they got home, Ethan was asleep on the couch, instead of waking him up Sadie got him a blanket and laid it over him, while Antonio went into his office and set his awards on his desk. They both walked up the steps, trying not to wake up Ethan, the girls, and especially the puppy.

Sadie cleaned up and changed out of her dress, while Antonio got into bed, he was drained and ready to go to sleep.

She walked out of the bathroom smiling and climbed into bed. "What are you smiling for?" he asked curiously.

She snuggled up to him, and laid in his arms. "I'm just happy that it turned out to be a good night, between the money raised, and the awards you got."

"There's something else about you, and for the life of me I cannot figure it out... but I like it." he said grinning, and kissing her before they fell asleep. "Good night."

"Goodnight." She said, inhaling deeply and opening her mouth, wanting to say something to him, then closed her mouth.

"Antonio..." she whispered.

"Hmmm" he moaned out quietly, nearly asleep.

"I love you."

He opened his eyes, and started caressing her lips while looking in her eyes. "I love you too Sadie."
