Chapter: His Mafia princess Lorenzo's POV “ She wouldn't like this,” Don Dawson said to me as I offered him the drink I had managed to win at an auction. “ I know right? Daphne would hate it if she knows that I am here with you, but it doesn't seem like I have a choice here” He shook his head to the side, snapping them gently before he uncorked the wine, the pop going off as I glanced at it, he poured a bit into a glass which he handed to me, and another which he kept for himself. “ She actually told me to settle things with you, smooth things out, she had said,” he gave the only reason which I could say made sense. That she had an idea about what exactly was happening, because if she hadn't found me in bed with her, I knew she would have blown up my phone with calls right about now, and I was loving it. It showed that I was loved just as much as I loved her, with how she didn't hide at all to show that. I bobbed my head, gulping down the drink in a go when it hit the back of my throat, I swallowed, letti

Chapter: Some company Lorenzo's POVWhen she had asked, wanting to make sure that I was fine, I didn't know what else to say aside from the fact that I was fine.I didn't want her to worry, I didn't want the crest on her face to deepen, I hated to see her worry, so I just couldn't bring myself to give her an answer that would break her again. When we had walked into the decorator greenhouse, the makeshift one that I had ordered to be made before all the ruckus happened, I found myself saying the word that I hadn't even practiced for. I had thought about this moment for years, kept it in mind for hours, thought about her expression when she saw it, but none of them had prepared me for when I was there, kneeling before her. I found myself stuttering, the words I didn't plan came out of my mouth instead, was I perhaps tense? I probably was, but it helped me get away of the thoughts that my father was dead. The doctor had given a heart attack as the answer, and we hadn't pushed on, neither had the workers

Chapter: Engagement Daphne's POV My hands held Alexis, as my hands went on his back, smoothening it gently, Lorenzo was still, not saying a word, but I knew he had a lot in mind. My hand held his hands, squeezing it gently, as I tried to get him back to me when he gave a small smile at me, his eyes deepened as he stared at me. “ I am fine” he assured me, that I wondered if he knew if he had any idea that his face was a sharp contrast to what he had just said. “ It is fine to let the tears down if you want to” His lips curved into a small smile, which did little to help, before he glanced outside. “ Chad will be waiting for us, we have to be sure that everything is fine, and whatever is it wouldn't harm him, you know with everything that has been happening” I nodded, bobbed my head in understanding at what he had just said. It was going to be fine. “ Wouldn't you go back? To take him to the morgue?” He bobbed. “ I will have to do that tomorrow, I would prefer that we bury him tomorrow, but first

Chapter: Payback Daphne's POV I racked my brain, trying to ascertain that it wasn't who I was thinking, he wouldn't have been so stupid, he wouldn't do something like that. “ Daphne…. Daphne..” Irene's voice pulled me out. I threw her a glance, when footsteps glided in, and my father rushed in, rage stomped over his face. “ You said something about Alexis missing, have you seen him? Where exactly would he be? Do you think it would be from my side or Lorenzo's?” He tried to make certain that we would curtail this problem. I knew there was just a person, one person in Brooklyn but this wasn't how I wanted it to end, I didn't want to give him an easy death, he didn't deserve that. I needed Drago to be in pain, I needed him to pray for death, but he wouldn't see, I wanted him to watch my face as he died, I wanted to see his car slide down the bridge as mine had done. What exactly had been my offense? His son loved me.“ Drago” I uttered, loud enough to his hearing. “ He is the one who has him” Hi

Chapter: Trained heirLorenzo's POV I traipsed into the lift a happier man that I thought I was going to be, I watched gently as she sat on the chair, holding the kids firmly, before dropping the bags on the table. I couldn't have been happier, she was back in my life and back to me. I didn't know if I was thinking too fast, but I found myself inching to give her the ring I had gone to customize before the accident happened. I hadn't forgotten, nor forgiven Drago but I didn't want to think about him, not with this new joy that I felt. “ Do you think that I should apply it in, now?” “ Mother, I will help you with it,” Avery offered. “ I will do so also” Alexis offered also, and I was relegated to the background. It had barely grazed her arms, so Chad had said, but we had to be careful. It was so close to her arm socket, that if the bullet had gone in even further, it might have caused her an arm. I didn't know what to say, but I kept taking in air, and found myself saying prayers also. Of course,

Chapter: Their happily ever after Daphne's POV I tried to force my eyes open but it stuck adamantly, I let out a hiss before trying again before whistling out in pain. I hated how I felt, it seemed as though I had been rammed over by a lorry and thrown over here, I tried to push myself up but I just couldn't. Sighing in resignation, I tried once more, gentle at first and the sharp ray of lighting that flashed through caused me to clasp it shot again. I gnashed, took in air before I flickered them open once more,this time swerving a glance around. I was stunned when warmths sipped into me. Flipping my head to the side, my eyes watered when I noticed Avery by one side, and Alexis by another, and Lorenzo holding my hands. I bit hard into my cheek, taking in the pain while I tried to force myself not to shed a tear. This was everything that I wanted, everything that I had imagined, my family back with me. I laid back, letting the warmth cascade down to my side, let it drap itself around me when I ran my hands thro

Chapter: Inches away from death Samantha was pissed and she knew her plans had been thwarted. “ I guess that is my cue to leave then.” Emma pointed at the door before leaving. The sudden thud of the door behind her had her jittering a bit before she pondered what had just happened. She was still, deep in thought for a second before she slid into her car, which had brought them here. She had a lot on her plate to cater to, and it was going to be best if she didn't add whatever had just happened here to it, and that was what she did as she stepped on the pedal, driving down the road before coming to a stop. “Fuck that, maybe knowing a tad bit won't hurt after all.” She whispered to herself before getting down from the car. “ What exactly was that? How did he get to know about their plan?” Samantha demanded. She was ready to grill it out of Darren because that would mean there was someone else who he had told and he had made this happen to them. “Mum. I don't know.” That was all Darren could say. He was still t

Chapter: SlumberJosh's POV I knew I shouldn't underestimate Darren and Samantha because there was no limit to the evils they could do, but nothing prepared me for the fact that they could extend that to Lina. I should have known that he would want to get her, seeing how she was the most important to me and she was my weakness, but I could have only believed that in my wildest dream, and that was why when I had somehow gotten to know Lina was there and the purpose why she was there, I had to race down. I had stopped myself at first, citing how she didn't want me close to her and Max would be a better option, but when seconds stretched into minutes and minutes stretched into an hour, I knew I had to go there myself. I couldn't let them go through with the plans they had for her, which were only going to end up in her getting hurt. Samantha could play at any game, but the only one I was never going to let her win was whenever it came to do with Lina. The silence which hung over us as I stepped on

Chapter: Every inchLina's POVA dinner couldn't cause any harm, and that was what I was standing on when I arrived with Emma, whose face had twisted so much that it wasn't difficult to tell that she was against the idea but had no choice than to come with me. The house seemed homely, with a little porch at its front, assortment of flowers, of which hydrangeas seemed to be the most . I dragged in a deep breath before I raised my hands to rap my knuckles at the door when Emma did it before I could. “ Well, this goes for nothing.” She let out a puff of breath before turning to me, a smug look on her face. We both had a coat on as the cold winter seemed to be coming. The door opened up with a creak, revealing who I believed was Darren's mother, but she was young. So young, and didn't look an inch like him. Darren must look like his father, which yet again left a spot in me that didn't bound well. “ You must be Lina and Emma.” She flushed, a hand on her chest before she pulled me in for a hug. “Oh my. D

Chapter: Harm would it cost Lina’s POV Emma stood, hands folded underneath her chest as she stood against her car, her finger clicking on her phone while a stick of cigarettes lay in-between her fingers. I swallowed, wondering when she started smoking because it was new to me. A closer glance had me peeking around until I saw Darren, who waved back with a smile lacing his face before he broke into a race toward me. I mustered up one as well before closing the gap between us, watching closely as Emma stomped on the cigarette when she noticed I was a step away from her. “What's wrong?” I questioned, peering into her eyes, which were reddened. She gulped in, the spittle working down with a swallow before she turned to the side, blinking consciously. Not saying one more word, I pushed her into my arms, offering that hug she needed, but she wasn't saying a word. “You're here. I have been trying to get her to say a word, but it seems all of my efforts were futile.” I pushed away, just enough to give him a smile b

Chapter: Regardless of The door rattled as it was slammed hard before Lina stomped off in rage. “That was uncalled for.” His mother pointed out when she was sure Lina was out and wouldn't be able to hear them. “ Mother, you have to stop babysitting her. There are times we have to tell her the truth. You can't continue keeping her in that cocoon you always think she will be fine in. This is Lina, and she is a grownup; she can't keep claiming that she is eighteen when she is still acting like a child.”Alpha Gregory would have agreed with him on this, but he would rather not take sides. “ She is going to have it even tougher than you will ever have in your life. This is your sister, and you know how fragile she is. Fine, she acts like a child, but have you thought about how her life will be when she is tossed in on all that?” He shook his head just at the thought of it all. “The truth we have hidden from her all this time, like we said, just to protect her, even when it isn't for that? She will have her

Chapter: Spoilt brat“ We are running out of time.” Alpha Gregory let out, running a hand through his hair as he uttered. There were different times that things could be different, where he wished that it would be different, and this was one of them. The bonfire night had been a failure of its own, and all they could see was Lina being taken away from them into a world where they wouldn't see her. Was she so much of a threat that she had to be pulled over to the other side of the world? Why couldn't they let him nurture her? Why couldn't they get their poking nose out of his family? Luna Gregory had a hand on her head, deep in thought with Max, who was quiet. They could all feel it, they could tell what was going to happen, and none of them liked it. It was basically a life where they had to let her go, with no one being there to give an update on her life, no single person. She could be maltreated for all they cared, and they wouldn't have an idea about it. “ This was all your fault, Mum.” Max let out

Chapter: Not a fool Ryan's POV “Am I doing too much?” I questioned Richard who stood by my side. I had on a sea green suit and a blue lapel which was to match with the gown she had on, but she wasn't here yet. I didn't know what to do, if I was going to cry, but I wanted to do this clear headed and without shedding a tear. It wouldn't make me masculine like I was supposed to be. She shouldn't see me tearing up. Richard stood by my side, in a peach suit to match Reina's own. “You doing too much would be you tearing up when she shows up to the aisle, please don't do that. You did before and it wasn't easy for me to stop you, don't make me do that again” he pleaded. I bore a hole in him at the words he had just spoken. He wasn't supposed to say that .He was still going to rub it over my face. “You did the same to me, remember?” he quizzed when he saw the look on my face. “So I don't really think I am doing anything wrong by telling you what I just did” I shook my head, not wanting to listen to him.

Chapter: Happy ever after Nina’s POV “ You don't get it Reina” I hadn't known when exactly this had happened, but it was too much. I had given up on Christopher right now because I had no other option, but that was because my mum looked so happy with him. I knew he was young, well, too young if I am asked, but my mother being happy was everything to me and I wanted her to be. “ You both were going at it raw, what did you expect? A truckload of gifts?”Wait, what? “ I am almost in tears right now,” I explained. I just couldn't explain it, but I was really tearing up. She stood up, patting me on the back. “ It's the hormones, you are actually tearing up” “I am pregnant, just a month to our wedding and I don't know how to tell him, the wedding gown won't fit” “ The designer can always work on it, we can have her do that” “ But still, I am not ready for this. I don't know if I want this child, it is too much for me to bear right now, what exactly am I to do?” I questioned. I had to think about this. All t

Chapter: TroublesRyan's POV That name didn't ring a bell at all, why would somebody who wasn't affiliated to them do something like that? Or was it that we didn't know what exactly we were searching for? “ I can't really say” We both got into the Porsche as I answered.“ There is no one else that would be able to give an answer except her, but I don't know where she is”“ Who?” “ Her mother of course, I am so sure Nina doesn't know anyone by that name, and it will be so awkward bringing that up to her, we need to be certain. We don't want her suspecting us now, would we?” A part of me was glad that I didn't have to do this anymore, it would have pricked me a bit to know that. Richard was a drive away from the bar when my phone rang out. “ Ryan, where are you?” I could sense the urgency in her tone as she asked. I swallowed, gazing at Richard whose eyes were probing to know what's wrong when I answered. “ With Richard, is something wrong?” “ Yes, can you come over? I am at the morgue and I di

Chapter: Disapproval Nina's POV I had never felt this jittery in years, months even with how tense I was, I thought I was going to mess things up. “ You have to calm down, he is just your mother's spouse” That brings us back to why we were here, my mother's spouse, the one she said she wanted to introduce to me. I had wanted to be here first, just to get along foremost before passing it on to anybody what exactly he looked like, but my mother had insisted I came with Reina. She was better than me, as it was to be expected, and she was here to keep me in place or so I had thought. “ Something bulging your mind?” I shook my head when she asked. We had just gotten to the spot, fine dining with a reservation so difficult to get even if you were well known, but we seemed to be here, my mum had said this was the designated venue, and so we had to be here on time. “ It's now or never” the door opened with a slight push from me and we were in. It didn't take so long to find the booth that we were looking

Stepping on the gas, I couldn't keep thinking of how everything was just the way it should be presently, but there was merely a problem and that one had to be taken care of. I slammed the brakes in front of Richard's company, swept my gaze around when I stepped out of the car, beaming at the CCTV camera that told me he had his eyes glued on it. I figured him letting out a string of curses at what I had just done, before turning his attention back to his pile of documents. When he wasn't with Reina and the kids, playing the obsessed husband, he had his head into his documents trying to work even harder. Stepping into the elevator, I waited for it to drop me in front of his office and when I did, I pushed the door open. “ You should take a breath, you are always working” I pointed at him when I was

Chapter: Mind blowing Nina's POV I beamed at the hand that had wrapped itself around me, before kissing me noisily. Pushing him off gently, I let out a plea. “ Let me sleep a bit, hmm” I pleaded while trying to shut my eyes a bit when the scent of freshly baked potatoes and cabbage lamb roast stew had me opening them in a sec. “ You surely do know how to get me” I gave him a slight jab at the arm before staring around, my mouth watered at the sight before me. “A little bit burnt, but I guess it's the intentions that matters” Ryan said while being nervous. I could tell because he was unusually jittery, which wasn't a fine attribute of his person, unless he had done something wrong, or he intended to do something that has him this way, I hope it was the latter because I could do without any huge thing at the moment. “ Spill” I urged, taking a scoop of the delicious goodness in front of me. A moan escaped my lips sending a little tingle in-between my legs when he stared at me like I was the most delic

Chapter: WaterNortia's POV “ It's just a simple family picnic” I reminded Alexis who must have forgotten that, because what exactly was he carrying these things for? I knew I was close to terms, six months had gone by in a whim which I couldn't have expected would turn out so well, but it had. Alexis had been on his best behavior and I couldn't have wanted anything else aside from that, while my godmother doted on me. His father wasn't left out as he had worked on the nursery with Alexis making sure it was perfect. I had opted for a gender reveal but had decided against it at the last moment. I wanted to get the surprise when they were out, and even when I had gone against it a thousand times, I was barely able to keep the temptation away, I had fought it off for what was the right amount of months. “ One can never be extra careful, wifey. You know that, don't you?” “ It's basically just a few hours drive and we will be back” I reminded him. My hand rested on my waist while I chewed on my

Chapter: Firing squad Nortia's POV Was I always going to get whatever it was that I wanted from Alexis? Yes. I knew Chad was the last name he would want to hear and for someone who happened to be as stubborn as he was, it seemed only convenient that I used the only name that I could think about. “ Well,” my godmother said when the car came to a halt in front of the correctional center. “ I guess we have to wait and hope for nothing to happen.” She explained to Alexis who happened to be brooding. He had been told that there was no way he was allowed to come in with me and that seemed to have soured his mood. “ I will be waiting,” he uttered before turning to the side, not giving me a glance while I walked away. A sulking baby, that was what he was. “ The guards assured me that you are going to be protected at all times, and all you have to do if anything happens is tap on the button just by your side igniting a buzz and they will all race in.”“ Okay,” I had that stamped at the back of my head becaus

Chapter: CuffedAlexis's POV I was spellbound because I had thought she would never bring that up, why was it that she had thought about that so suddenly when I thought there was no way she would never bring it up considering how she had just left without taking a dime? “ You want the money?” I asked again, wanting to be sure. It was contradicting what she had said initially where she had shoved it up at my face letting me know she wasn't taking a dime. Now, I was left wondering what was going to be the reaction from my father and Gerald who had taken her side, talking about how she was different. She was, I knew about that, but it was just shocking to me. “Yes, I do. When should I be getting it?” “ Why the sudden change of mind? You said you didn't initially,”“ Now, I want it. Don't tell me you thought I had let you off the hook so easily, there are thousands of things I could use that money for.”“ You own a company,” I reminded her. “ That's the reason why I would need it even more, I am su

Chapter: Best view Nortia's POV I woke up with the best view before me. Alexis had his hand above his head, his eyes shut while his brows furrowed which had me thinking what exactly he was dreaming about. He wasn't supposed to look this distressed while sleeping, my fingers inched to run across his face, whisper words into his ear, letting him know how much I had missed him but I kept it to myself, not saying a word. Propping myself on my arm, I watched him, my eyes shifting between my tummy and his face while I tried to come up with something else to do aside from looking at him but my mind was blank. I exhaled deeply, before raising my finger as I ran them across his brows. “ Wakey, wakey,” his face sprung into a smile before his lashes fluttered open, as he turned to me. His face melted into a puddle of smiles before he kissed me on the lips. “ Good morning,” he mouthed out at me. Propping himself as well to take a good look at me. “ You look dashing,” he said to me while I tried not to blush,

It was all too soon, and I knew I had to take a step back.“ You aren't in a good mood right now, and I wouldn't want to make it worse, you have to be sure about this and…” “ Do you want me to go to someone else? Chad?” That got me because she knew well enough what to do to tick me off. I could imagine my mother and Genevieve giggling while listening to all that was happening. Her hands ran underneath my clothes as she touched me, each sending tingles to me. I missed her so much that words wouldn't be able to quantify just how much I did. I wanted her to touch me, to hold me, but I knew I had to be conscious, I missed her just the same way she missed me

Chapter: StayNortia's POVI knew there had to be something, something I couldn't decipher, couldn't place my hands on but now I knew what exactly it was. I could do so now because it made so much sense. How she got to know, how she kept saying it would change everything, I should have known. I had stomped out after I was told, with Alexis on my heels and Genevieve’s eyes pleading as well but I knew it was none of their fault. They weren't at fault, because my uncle was the one who had orchestrated it. If he hadn't done what he did, then they would be alive, that was what I told myself even when it was so hard to believe that. I couldn't bring myself to blame her, not when she was the only one who had listened to me, and offered to bring me over with her. “ Nortia, you aren't supposed to be working today.”“ I know, but I need something off my mind.” I had rushed to the cafe knowing that was the only way to get it off my mind. I didn't want to believe that they had all lied to me, not lied in
