LOGINROBIN’S POV“If a DNA test will put your beautiful mind at ease, I’ll do it. I have my faults, Robin, but I’d never abandon a child if I truly thought it was mine. Lois is a fucking lair!”“A test is going to clear that. Until then… I want you to stay away from me.”“Robin…”“No! I don’t want to hear anymore, Jack. Get out of here! I want to rest.” I dragged the covers over my battered body, thankful the drugs were sedatives. I couldn’t battle this treacherous heartache with my eyes wide open.“Can I at least give you a kiss?”I gulped. I wanted him to. I didn’t want him to. I didn’t want him to get the wrong idea. I was only going to relax around him only when the test revealed he wasn’t the father. But I dropped dead quiet, mouth lax when my body betrayed me with a nod to his request.“Thank you.” He leaned in, planting a long chaste kiss on my temple and cheek. “You have my life in your hands, Robin, never forget that. I’d never hurt you, not intentionally.” Then he was gone, even
JACK’S POVMy heart leaped into my taut throat, causing a speech impairment. I stared back into her angelic eyes, the eyes that captured me, derailed me, made me powerless against feelings I should have killed months ago after laying eyes on her. My own eyes glistened. I’d never been this elated in all my fucked-up life, hunched over the woman that kept my heart beating.Gazing into her deep brown eyes, our stares locked in time, tears rolling onto her face, and gliding to her neck as I continued to stare and tear up, relief flowing through me. Moving lower down, I pressed my face against her forehead, rolling gently across hers and silently thanking the miracle gods for bringing my life back to me. Now I could breathe, now I could relax my tensed body, now I could think straight again, the excruciating pain in my chest subsiding. Crashing my pasty, face into her neck, I wrapped my arms around her, settling my head against her chest, willing my erratic heartbeat to slowly return to de
JACK’S POV“Jack,” Ransford’s sympathetic voice sounded. I tipped my head up from the bending position, eyes welling, falling into the doctor’s face.“Is she going to make it?” I asked the gut-wrenching question. I couldn’t feel my body anymore, I may as well be dead.“She’s stable, however we had to force the coma to protect the brain from further damage and to heal faster, helping the babies receive a consistent flow of blood and oxygen. We’ll conduct more CT scans, also replace the lost of blood with transfusion.”“Will she come around after all that?” Lana asked, throwing a solemn look across the doctor.“She’ll have to decide that. After all is said and done, her body can only decide. All we can do is hope and pray that after we taper off the drugs causing the inducement, her body naturally responds. How fast or slow will depend on her biology. She’s being transferred to ICU as we speak.”“I want to see her.”“You can’t Jack. She’s covered in tubes and wires. You have to allow us
JACK’S POVI stared bleakly at the name flashing across my screen, phone dancing in my grip. I answered on the fifth ring, damn it I didn’t where to begin. My mind was fuzzy, where would I start from? Fuck!“Jack are you there? Jack?” she asked, worry creasing her tone“Lana… I…” My words faded into nothing, eyes clouding over again.“What’s going on Jack? I’ve been calling Robin’s phone, she’s not answering.” I didn’t respond, my heavy breathing pretty much the only sound pumping down the line. I was falling apart.“Jack, you’re making me worried!”“She um… Robin…” I trailed off again, unable to finish the bloody sentence. I huffed, lacing my hands through my hair, bracing my head up and looking at the goddamn ceiling like it held some fucking solution. Fuck! I saw in my mind’s eye Robin’s gorgeous eyes, a kind of beauty I had never seen before, staring and smiling at me.“What is wrong with Robin, Jack?”Lana’s shrill jolted my mind back, she was persistent and needed answers. My to
JACK’S POV“Fuck!” I bellowed, pacing up and down, unable to relax. Robin’s was phone going straight to fucking voicemail again. Fuck it! Rushing out to my vast garage, I tore out, speeding to her apartment and dialling her once more, going out of my mind with worry. Was she already home? Fuck! I stepped on the gas, I had to explain things properly to her. I hadn’t seen Lois in what? More than five years, then one fucking evening she decided to drop a fucking bombshell? I sighed, weaving a hand through my mop. She had to be crazy if she thought she could cripple what I had with Robin. I dialled again, voicemail. Voicemail, fucking voicemail, her freaking voicemail was all I was getting!“Crap! Robin, baby, I know how this looks, okay but just listen to me for once. I have nothing to do with Lois. Answer your phone baby, I’m going mental here.” I put down the phone, slapped my hands across the wheel and huffed. “Come on, come on.” I was going as fast as I could, had to resolve this as

I hope you enjoy the second part of this messy love story.Kisses.ROBIN’S POVI was still staggering, still moving backwards on wobbly legs, still shaking, still unable to gather my jumbled thoughts to form words. The tears were flowing down unbidden, hitting the sleeve of Jack’s shirt draped around my feeble body.“You had a secret child… tucked away?” I asked, heaving. This was a stupid question, looking at Jack and his chaotic past, of course he may have gotten a few pregnant.“Robin, I don’t know what the hell she’s talking about!
Among the sea of faces before him, his eyes instinctively found mine, seated in the front row, as he stepped onto the stage to deliver his ceremonial speech. He held my gaze for a moment, then kept sneaking quick glances my way as he hurried through his speech.Good! He was equally stunned. After
We both turned sharply towards the door and saw vicious Millicent in the doorway, hands pressing possessively around her middle with a scowl on her face. What was she mad about? When she was the one interrupting our moment of raw closeness! I sighed.“Fucking hell, Millicent. Couldn’t you have knoc
Jack received a call at 8:30 p.m. from his cleaning company, claiming the house was in perfect shape. Jack had phoned Daniel early on to take care of the mess he’d created, while we waited in one of his private apartment rooms close by. Mason survived the punches…fortunately for him, and was receiv
“What the fuck Lana!” The words tumbled out again as my eyes darted between them, stunned and still trying to process what I had just walked in on.“Robin I…” Mike began, attempting to offer an explanation but I held up a hand, stopping him in his tracks.He heaved a sigh, turned to Lana, pressed a
