LOGINPOV: Happy EndingLaila walked into the house slowly, Nichole’s hands resting protectively on her shoulders as though he feared letting go of her even for a second. The weight of the day still clung to her, heavy and exhausting, but the warmth of home wrapped around her like a quiet promise that things would be okay.Matilda greeted them at the door, her face soft with concern. “Hello, Laila. I heard you had an eventful day. I made you chocolate cake.”“Thank you, Matilda,” Laila said with a grateful smile, her voice softer than usual but filled with appreciation.At the police station, when Laila had given her statement, the moment had been heavier than she expected. Seeing Lola again—broken, desperate, unraveling—had stirred something deep inside her. Lola had cried out, “Mommy!” like a child, begging to be saved. But Lorraine had not gone to her. Instead, she had walked past her daughter and wrapped Laila in a firm, protective embrace.That moment had said everything.Nichole, Fre
POV: Lola is Unhinged Laila was in the gallery working on a restoration piece when the sound of Lola's voice carried into the back room.“Not again,” she muttered furiously.By the time she got to the front, Joseph and two other guards were already there, and they were forming a barrel between the two sisters. Janka was behind the counter with a customer standing at the end with a startled look on her face.Lola pulled out a gun and held it with trembling hands.“Aw, shit,” Joseph grunted as he put his huge frame directly in front of Laila. “Laila, what are you doing here?”“He took everything from me, so I'm going to take everything from him.”“Who?”“Nichole Fernando. If Laila hadn't met up with him my life would have been perfect! He ruined everything. He loves her so much he can't live without her and feel my pain.”“You're going to kill her?”“Yes!” He is going to die so he knows what it's like.“Lola, Laila tried to peek past Joseph's shoulder on her tiptoe.” You can't kill me.
POV: Keeper Laila, Janka and Rose were laying on the floor of the barn which Nichole had said would be her new studio, staring up at the rafter giggling like teenagers.“I can't believe this.”“You should see him,” she laughed. “He's not only stained with the paint, but the rush is something else.”“No.” Rose gripped her by the side.“We were starting to clean up and I noticed he was shifting a lot and I asked what was wrong and he made a face. He said he didn't want to seem like a party pooper but thought maybe he should take a shower. As he rinsed off, I could see the red welts on his skin.”“I can't believe you had to go to the emergency room,” Janka barely got the words out as she dissolved into a fist of giggles.“The only part we didn't paint on him is his dick so it was the only part not affected.” She knew she should feel bad but was struggling as she considered the way Nichole had behaved once the heat of their passion had simmered down.”“The doctor in the emergency room sa
POV: Paint “You know what I want now?” He asked as he gently kissed her lips.“What?”“To see you wear nothing but that ring.”She laughed at his bold words and the fire in his eyes. “It can be arranged.”“I do also have a picnic basket,” he motioned to the side of the room. “Bread, cheese and meat but not deli meat because you're not supposed to have it according to my mother. Mom cooked a turkey for her and dad today, she gave me a container full. “He smiled at her grin, “I bought non-alcoholic wine too.”“You can have real wine, I know how much you love wine.” She frowned at his words.“I do,” but I love you more and if you have to make sacrifices to bring our child into this world, then I'll make as many of them as I possibly can with you. I might not be able to push a watermelon out my lower half, but I can give up alcohol for the next nine months.”She laughed, “we're going to be grumpy.” “Nah, we'll subsidized it with fucking. “I'll get drunk on the flavor of you.”“Fool, "
POV: Proposal She froze as she heard the sound of people downstairs.“What’s that?” she asked, lifting her head slightly from his chest.“That’s Joseph and the guys doing me a favor in the current master suite. Don’t worry, it’s a surprise. The best part of having my cousins as best friends, like Joaquim and Joseph, is they want me to get the girl. My family loves you, Laila. They absolutely adore you. Joaquim actually whittled down his harem and said he might be ready to find Mrs. Right instead of Mrs. Right-Now if there are girls like you out there.”“Janka is really desperate to find a guy. We should set them up.” She turned her head on his shoulder to look up at him with wide eyes.“He’d eat her alive.”“Don’t kid yourself. This is the girl who once slept with a guy just for the opportunity to sleep in a bed instead of her mattress in her loft.”“She did not.”“She told me she had to masturbate afterward because the sex was so bad and the guy wasn’t even offered breakfast. But a
POV: New HomeShe straddled him in the seat and hugged him tightly. “Why? What made you do this?”“I want to make all your dreams come true, Laila. I want you to laugh and smile with happiness. I never want you to be sad, and if you're sad I want to be close enough to you so I can help wipe those tears away and make you feel better. I grew up with my dad right there all the time and I want that for my children. He never once had to leave us for weeks on end and I don't want it for our baby. I want what my parents had, and as I sat in the meeting yesterday morning thinking of my dad the day he walked out of a million-dollar meeting because my Mom needed him… well, let's just say I was inspired.”Her sobs were giving way to hiccups and sniffles as he made long sweeping motions up and down her back, holding her tight to him. The warmth of his chest and the steadiness of his heartbeat slowly calmed her. For a moment neither of them spoke, simply enjoying the quiet intimacy of the moment.
