DOUG’s POVI was in my room, tired from all the music and noise from Mike’s friend. I splashed water on my face and my phone rang.. It was in the room so I quickly ran across the room to grab it.. “Ares.. Ah, why is he calling? Fuck it!”I exclaimed as I stared at my phone.I closed the door to focus, and I answered it.“Um.. Took you forever.. Thought you wouldn't answer.”“I was busy, Ares, what is it?”“Wow, would you look at this? Now, I need to give my baby brother an explanation for calling him, right?”He scoffed and I rolled my eyes in disgust. He is always trying to act like a mother in distress.“That is not what I mean, Ares, and you know it.. I mean what is so important that you couldn't wait till morning, huh?”He inhaled deeply and I got a little bit worried.. He mostly calls me when he is stressed or disturbed about something.“Doug.. Douglas..”“Okay, this sounds serious.. What is it?”“Doug, I did something bad.”“That is not a surprise, Ares.. I would be shocked if

MATEO’s POVIt wasn't a lady.. It was someone who immediately made me almost shed tears..My brother..“Mateo..”“Doug..”Mike smiled softly as he stared at both of us with genuine love in his eyes.. Weird, but the moment allowed it. Doug wore a black leather jacket and a pair of black pants. We had the same hair and mostly styled our hair the same way. He looked even younger.. Well, someone without stress and as rich as him I am not surprised. “Is that your brother?”Lisa whispered and I nodded.He quickly walked closer to me and we hugged each other very tightly.Michael was filled with smiles and so was Lisa.“Mateo, Mateo, Mateo.. Well done.. Thank you..”He broke the hug and stared at me.“Thank you for staying alive and surviving.. Thank you for keeping this crazy family afloat.”“Emphasize on the word ‘crazy.”Michael said and we all chuckled.“Doug, you could have called.. I would have come to get you..”Mike said and Doug stared at him.“Give me a hug, Mikey.”Mike hugged h

MATEO’s POVWe arrived in Miami and Lisa was taking pictures while Michael and I were waiting for Mike to arrive to take us to the hotel. “Babe.. Come, see.. This place looks so good, doesn't it? Come, come.”“Lisa.. What..”“Just go take some pictures with her man.”Michael pushed me and I frowned at him.“Fine.”I held her waist and she kissed my cheeks. We took about 4 pictures and I saw how she smiled like a child just staring at them.“These are so pretty, Mateo.. You look so good.”“You look the best, Lisa. Come here.”She ran into my arms, I hugged and squeezed her arms, and she whimpered.“Ah, you naughty boy.”“Am I naughty? Nah, you are.”“No, you are.”She wrapped her hands around my neck and I held her waist, and Michael just kept staring at us with his phone taking pictures or whatever.“We are in the airport, you both need to get a room, you both are crazy, man.”He said and we all chuckled.“Nah, you need to get a girl, Michael.. I can't believe you are in Miami withou

ASTRID's POVHe stepped back away from me and his phone rang.He chuckled."My friend Mike is calling me.. I will put it on speaker, so you can hear."He said and we both sat down on the bed as I held his hand."Hey, my man.. Isn't it a bit too late to call me?"Mateo asked and Mike chuckled."Hey, man, I am sorry for disturbing your sleep. I just had to talk to you about something.. I need a little advice here, man."Mateo and I stared at each other and he kissed my forehead.I wrapped the bed cover around my body."Yeah, man, sure. I am with you, anything you need.""So, this is about Doug."Immediately Mike said that, Mateo stared at me and it felt like he wasn't comfortable with me hearing his conversation about 'Doug' whoever that is."He told me he thinks someone is playing some games with him, like messing with his accounts, so he told me to look into it and I just did.. And..""What? What is it, Mikey? Is something wrong?""I think there is actually foul play going on, but I d

ASTRID’s POVI sat on his thighs while he was grabbing my ass and we were kissing deeply.‘Astrid, imagine Ethan walks in.. Girl, this is too much. Doing it on your matrimonial bed is actually wild.’I thought but didn't stop kissing him. I wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him even deeply.His hands caressed my back and waist like he was searching for something.He pushed me against the bed and I smiled.“Mateo.. I missed you.. I miss us.. I miss..”He placed his finger on my lips.“Why don't you get that mouth of yours to use, huh? Talk too much.”I gasped when he said that and immediately got turned on. He looked around and shook his head.“I respect you and Ethan, so I won't do this here.”He said and my smile immediately faded away.“Oh.. Um.. That is true I guess. I wonder why I didn't think about that..”I stole a peek at him and caught him smiling, his brows thinned.“Hey.. Astrid, what you said earlier you meant it, right?”I looked up at his face and nodded with a

ASTRID's POVHe looked back at me and tightened his jaw.I stared at him with tears in my eyes.'Why are you holding yourself back from me.. Why? You clearly are.. Mateo..'"Mateo.."I said again and he looked back at me."I won't give you that satisfaction I know you want, Astrid. If you want me, Astrid.. You will come for me.. You pushed me away, Astrid, so I won't chase you anymore."I flickered my eyelashes, nodded my head, and smiled a bit."You are right.. I pushed you away, Mateo.. And trust me I am really sorry.. I..""Can you come closer I can't hear you, Astrid."I wasn't sure what he was planning but I walked closer to him and I peeked around."Why are you looking around, Ma'am? I just want to talk."'Ah, fuck this dude.. He enjoys teasing me, that I know for a fact.'I thought as I hissed."I am leaving, Astrid.. Please. You have pushed me out of your life and everything that has to do with you and I am willing to leave, so please let me go, okay?""Why are you begging me,

LENA’s (LUNA’s POV)I was stunned and unable to speak. What did they both mean by that? “Moans? Screaming? From Maverick’s room? Are you both serious right now?”They stared at each other, nodded and Amelia held my hands.“I'm gonna hold your hands when I say this baby girl, you ready?”I shook my head, not sure what I wanted. I had no idea what she was about to say but it felt like it was going to break and injure me. ‘Wait, why am I breathing so heavily and why am I sweating? Oh please, Lena.’I thought as I found my hands and body shaking. God!“Amelia! What is it!”I exclaimed and they both laughed.I guess being heartbroken before hasn't taught me anything, right? How can I still be so shocked and not even expect the worst?.‘No way all Ms. Lena’s teaching went to waste. Do I really still want to trust and believe a man? I literally stayed in jail for 5 years for what I had no idea of! Fucking hell!’I was mad at myself, mad at my heart, mad at the girls, and mad at Amelia for w

LENA’s (LUNA’s POV)“Then do not try to hold back, Lena.. Give it all up.”He whispered in my ear and our breathing got deeper and deeper, his face was so close to mine that we stared into each other’s souls.“Lena! It's time to go.”Vee screamed from outside my room, Maverick lifted his head, and I closed my eyes.‘Thank God for that call back to life, fuck I was..’He pressed his lips against mine and my eyes shot wide open in shock.I pushed him away, but pulled him right back in.He locked the door from behind and we immediately flipped me on the bed.‘It might just happen at this point, and I would probably allow it.. The sexual tension between us has been at 100 for days now, and I have been trying so hard to fight it.’I thought as I grabbed his hair and he grabbed my boobs with both of his hands.“I have waited so long to see your titties.. I know I would love them!”I chuckled and bit my lower lip.“Fuck they are so soft.”He was going to take my dress off but I stopped him.

LENA’s (LUNA’s POV)It was almost time for us to live for our little girls' night and I picked out a red dress with a bow on the side at the top to wear, while I decided not to tie my hair, I just allowed it to fall.‘This night out will be a little distraction to me for everything going on, so yeah, it is the best, and I will be able to smile truly.’Well, to be fair I have been happy lately with Maverick by my side and making me and my heart flutter, and not gonna lie to myself I kind of love it, even though I shouldn't.Vee and Amelia came to my room and they sat down on the bed. They came there for us to get ready together.It was almost 6 pm, so we still had an hour at least, but I kept wondering why Maverick wasn't back. He’d texted me earlier that he had some other things to attend to after his meeting with his men or whoever they were, so I tried not to be worried, I mean even his sister looked very fine, so I don't think I have any right to be worried. “Luna, your dress is s

DON MICHAEL’s POVMaverick arrived in the meeting and we all sat at a round table, he looked sharp, like he knew he was getting his fucking life back. He looked very sharp and ready, and I was so pissed.I took Santiago along with me, and he sat beside the entrance.“So we are starting now..”One of the Godfathers said and Maverick exhaled heavily.‘What is this fool scared of? He literally has all the Godfathers in his palm, and I know it, so of course he knows everything will go in his favor.“Maverick and Michael, we are not blind to the disputes that have been going on between you two and we see all.. We definitely do.”‘Shit! Shoot! Why are they calling my name now? I clearly told all forces involved to keep my name out of their mouths! I will kill them all if the Godfathers suspect anything.’I thought as I kept staring at Santiago who was clearly eavesdropping.“Michael..”I flinched and tightened my jaw when my name was called. Well, you will be too when 15 suited men who can

MAVERICK’s POVI was done with getting ready and my phone rang.. It was one of the Godfathers. I stared at the phone for a few seconds before answering it.“Yes.. Hello, sir?”I said calmly and he scoffed over the phone.“Maverick! Ah, we are expecting you over here, we might have good news for you.. Hey, don't be too late, okay?”“Yes, sir!”He ended the call and I couldn't be happier.. I was overjoyed.. I paced around my room and stared at myself in the mirror.“Finally, finally! Yes! Yes! I can finally go with Luna.”Yes, I was more excited about going back with her, because I realised something about Luna when we were together.. Everything she does or says revolves around her daughter or her life back at home.. Her revenge and getting her daughter is on her top list and because of that she would never allow any other thing into her heart for the time being at least. I stepped out of my room and before I could take another step I saw Luna also stepping out of her room wearing a si

MARINA’s POVI walked back into the house and saw Natalia playing with the puppy, and they both looked so happy together.. The Puppy couldn't stop wagging his tail.‘I made a video of you to send to Ms Luna, but the boss collected it from me.. Hopefully, he doesn't suspect anything because it looks like he suspects me but isn't sure.’“Nana!”Natalia screamed and I flinched as I was deep in thought. “Hey, baby, how are you doing?”The puppy flew on my body, wagging his tail and trying to lick my body too.“Hey, Natty, how are you, mama?”“Trying to play with Billy.”“Billy? Is that his name? I think Billy is for a girl not a boy, Natalia.”She looked confused, shook her head, and pulled her hair with a little scream. I laughed hard as I watched her perform some fake heartbreak.She is just as playful as Ms Luna.. Even in problems Ms Luna used to make me laugh.“But, if you want to keep the name then you can, Natty, huh? Billy is yours after all, right?”She nodded and gave me a littl

AXELL’s POVAvery called and told me that she and Shawn are planning on running a DNA test on Shawn and Logan. “Has it gotten to that?”“Yes, it is, Axell. I have always had my doubts. No one in my family or Shawn’s is colorblind, so how is Logan colorblind?”“Avery, so if the father isn't Shawn then who is?”“I don't know, Axell, but I would be so glad if he isn't. You wanna come along with us to get the results?”“Have you both run the test? We will give the doctors samples today”I followed her and we did all the necessary things. We got back and I told her I needed to fly to Mexico to meet with the godfathers with some evidence against Lucrecia and Paolo, so they would be punished.She insisted on coming with me, and we took Logan along. It was more like a family trip, and I’d promised Logan that I would fly him in my private jet.Everyone else followed, Bryson and Camila.We stayed at the same penthouse that I and Bryson stayed over the last time. Paolo had no idea when we arri

AVERY’s POVHe stared at me with a face full of surprise, but I overheard all he said last night, and I cried so much in my sleep. I also had a dream of waving and saying goodbye to my parents. I had finally found their killer, so I had fulfilled my biggest heart desire.“Avery..”“All these times, Axell, you were the one behind their death and you never said a word! You are a beast!”“Babe, please hear me out, please. I.. I.. I am also a victim. My parents were killed and I needed to avenge them. Your parents were no saints either. They had a hand in my parent's death, but I didn't kill them, Paolo did”I stared at him. How was I supposed to react? I can't believe I lost my memory for weeks and let Shawn get close to me. I didn't remember anyone, including my son. I can't believe I pushed Axell down through the balcony. What if something bad had happened to him?I stared at him and how helpless he looked. In my sleep, I heard him cry himself to sleep. When I woke up I saw him holding

AXELL’s POVI had several cuts, and I struggled to get back on my feet. I think I broke my leg.“Avery!”I screamed but there was no answer.Did she run away? That was the first thought that came to my head.I saw Logan running toward me, and I told him to go get Bryson and Camila.I was bleeding so much and I couldn't stand on my feet.My guards arrived and they lifted me up to the car.I saw Bryson walking down the stairs with Avery in his hands.“What.. What happened to her..”I tried getting out of the car but fell on my knees.The guards held me back up, but I was determined to go to Avery.“Hey man, I think she passed out when she watched you fall. We need to get the both of you to the hospital right now, get in”“Bryson.. How..”“Axell, get in the car now. You need to see a doctor”I got in and he followed behind us with Camila and Logan.When we arrived I pleaded with them to first attend Avery, but they said we were both important.We got treated in the same ward and were lef

SHAWN’s POVThe truth is I never expected a day like this to come. When I received the call from Camila asking me to come to the hospital I was surprised. Feels like Avery never really moved on from me. She must still be crazy over me. I will use this to my advantage. That dude of hers is popular and has lots of money, I will make sure to extort him using Avery.She has always been very useful to me ever since we met. I saw someone better and I left her pregnant, it was wrong of me, but it isn't new, and I am back now. I saw her son, Logan, or should I say our son. I am not here for him though, I am here to make my life better, so he can wait.“Avery, is there anything you want?”“No. Who are you to me?”Camila was behind me, so I wasn't free enough.“Well, I am..”“He is a friend to you.. A friend”Camila quickly said and I nodded too. This bitch. ****************It was late and I left. I promised to come to see her the next day and she agreed.The next day I came and the day after

AXELL’s POVI was so close to tears, but I had to be strong. I held Logan in my arms, he had been crying heavily upon realizing that his mother didn't recognize him. I can not believe this. How did she forget about all of us including her name? I stared at the doctor and he said we should all follow him to his office.“Mum.. Mummy..”Logan pointed with tears rolling down his cheeks at Avery who kept staring at us in awe.“It is fine, baby. It is fine”I patted on his back and calmed him down.When we got to the doctor’s office, I could see the pain in his eyes. He probably didn't expect that himself.“Mr Axell I can imagine how you and your family must be feeling right now”Camila was wailing heavily, Bryson hugged her and tried to keep her calm.“Logan, mummy will be fine and back, okay? I will make sure of that, huh?”The doctor said and Logan nodded. “Doctor, what is the way forward right now? She doesn't remember anyone, not even her name”“I know that Mr Axell. I guess she was

AXELL’s POV“She came around and told me about my doctor's appointment, which I agreed to go with her. She angrily left the room and said she would wait for me outside, but then I heard a loud thud outside the room. When I ran out I was lying unconscious down the stairs. I think she slipped”She said with a little tear rolling down her cheeks.I looked away, but then..“Wait. The farmhouse doesn't have stairs, does it?”She shook her head.“I wasn't in the farmhouse. I was in your room..”“In my room doing what?”I angrily said to her, and she moved away from me.“I thought about doing some cleaning for you..”“I have enough help around the house to take care of that, you bitch!!!”I screamed and Bryson held me back.“Calm down, man”“If she wasn't in my room, Avery wouldn't have gone into the house and she wouldn't be in this situation now! I also blame myself because I told her to go get you! Ever since you came into our lives..”I fell to the ground again and tears rolled down my c
