Sixty-Nine.
(Third Person’s POV)
It was close to the day Lily was to give birth to her little baby girl, and Alphonso seemed to be the nervous one. He was walking around looking at whether he had everything that Lily was going to need at the hospital gathered together.
“Should I bring the fluffy or comfy pillow?” Alphonso wondered out aloud as he weighed the options in front of him.
He turned to Lily – who was casually lying on the couch in a dolphin onesie eating crisps covered in ice cream.
“You know the due date is usually just an estimation by the doctor, right?” She stuffed a bunch of ice creamed covered crisps in her mouth.
“The doctor said the due date is likely tomorrow, and I think it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.” Alphonso replied with shrug, “I will go with a comfy one. I think at that point you’ll value comfort above everything else.”

EPILOGUE.ONE YEAR LATER.Frank was playing with Sienna while Alphonso and Lily were in charge of the people planning a party for her one-year birthday.The door to their new house, a house Alphonso wanted to raise his kids in but Lola never allowed it, opened and in walked Oscar, Gemma and Abigail.“Hello sweetie,” Lily greeted Abigail who just waved as she rushed towards the back yard to find Frank and Sienna. They had formed such a close friendship, including Sienna too despite her young age, and so had their parents.Gemma couldn’t wait to share the news with Lily. And the first thing to show her was the engagement ring.“Oh my god that is so beautiful, I guess he finally popped the question?” Lily asked loud enough to capture Oscar’s attention.“Rushing it actually.” Oscar responds, and he turns to Alphonso, “and you’ll be my best man an

(Lily’s POV)I sighed in relief as I felt the wind hit my face as I stepped out of Home Depot with my necessary purchases.A smile crossed my face as I saw a mother struggling to keep her child still, reminding me of just how stubborn I was as a child but also wondering why she had her child out late. I started my walk towards the motel that Chris and I had booked for the night.It was our last night in the city before we moved to a different city to begin a whole new other job, a con job.I had been able to create for myself a good record up to now.No arrests.No attention from the cops.I always made sure to choose marks that wouldn’t afford to go to the police because they also had something to hide. That was my leverage—if I go down you are coming with me.The streets were empty, as expected for this time of night, I could hear my footsteps on the cobblestone. I hadn’t gotten far when I heard a familiar voice come up from behind me.“I hope you remembered to get me a pack of ciga

(Alfonso’s POV)I lowered my hood down so no one could see my face as I followed the lady at a safe distance. I had tried so hard to leave this life behind but it seemed like the life didn’t want to let me go.I watched as she looked around and knocked on a door at a shady apartment. This entire location seemed shady but the apartment building she walked into was known for its drug dealing.“Did anyone follow you?” The thin scrawny man asked as he looked around and pulled her inside.I did, I thought with my hands inside my hoodie.“No.” She yelped as she was pulled inside the apartment.I slowly made my way to the apartment. I knocked on the door paying close attention to the sound of footsteps approaching the door. I put my hand on the door handle and as soon as it turned I pushed it hard knocking the man to the floor, as I stepped inside and closed the door behind me.My eyes wandered across the room to see who else was in the apartment, just the lady I followed here getting coked

(Lily’s POV)My eyes slowly flattered open. I squinted as I tried to adjust to the lighting of the room, a flashlight was passed across my eyes making me wince.“Mrs. Gambino, how are you feeling?” I heard someone ask me.“Thirsty.” I croaked out barely recognizing the sound that left my mouth.“Here you go.” I heard a deep voice say as someone helped me take a sip of water.I looked around, “where am I and what day is it?” I asked, confused.“You’re in a hospital.” I heard the doctor say as I saw him writing something down.“Honey I was very worried about you.” The deep voice said again as I felt someone gently touching my hand and placed a kiss on it, “from now on I’ll be there to protect you.”It took a minute for me to gather my thoughts and actually remember why I was in the hospital to begin with and why this strange yet handsome man kept referring to me in endearing terms. When I finally remembered why, I started crying. I needed to play the part.“He took me and he kept me in

(Chris’s POV)I threw the bag filled with money in the back of my new truck. “Hurry up Lola, we don’t have the whole day!” I called out to the brown haired, beautiful lady as she walked down the marble steps of the five-star hotel we spent the night at.She shrieked as she rushed towards me, jumping as I grabbed her and kissed her. I still find it uncanny just how much she looks like Lily and even how they shared names but for now she was using her maiden name, Lola.“Where are we going next?” She asked excitedly.I smiled, “anywhere you want baby.” I replied as I led her to the other side of the car and opened the car door for her.I rushed back to the driver’s seat and I sped out of there.“I missed this kind of life.” Lola commented. “Al and I used to be a very fun and dangerous couple and I loved that about him. But now it’s all about taking care of that little brat and he focuses his entire time and energy on that company.” She sighed.I reached out to the bottom of my seat and p

(Alfonso’s POV)Lily had been curious to learn about how to defend herself, today was the beginning of her training. She was also going to serve as my personal assistant so she could learn the ins and outs of the company.“This is the basic gun you’ll use to learn how to shoot then we can go on from there.” I stated.“Understood.” She replied with determination which I admired.“Now to the four rules of firearms safety you should know.” I stated.“Always treat all firearms as if they are loaded. Never point your gun at something you don’t plan on shooting. The finger shouldn’t be on the trigger unless you are ready to fire. Don’t depend on any mechanical device for safety.” She recited.I looked at her and smiled, “I see you did your research.”“I have a hard time sleeping so I decided to read up on a few things.” She stated.I stood behind her as I tried to help her into position and I felt her tense up when I touched her. Something that has been happening a lot whenever I try to tou

(Lily’s POV)I had no idea what I was thinking this morning when I let him join me in the shower. I had been with Alfonso for only a few weeks and it was already going to my head.Why was I mad that he was going to work instead of spending time with me? But the big question was why did I kiss him or ask if he loved me?“What was I even thinking?” I asked out loud as I covered my face with my hands.“You were thinking that you are being a good mother?” A male voice chimed in making me turn to look at them.“And who are you?” I asked.“Oh, I’m Oscar. I’m Abby’s father.” He replied as he pointed to our children wo seemed to be hitting off quite well. “I thought that since our children are playing together maybe we could also sit together, I guess.” He chuckled, “that’s if you don’t mind.”“No, sure have a seat.” I said as I created room for him.I needed a distraction. I was getting too involved in this life that the line between my old life and new one was starting to blur out.“I have

(Alphonso’s POV)I closed the file and dropped it back on the desk with much more force than was necessary.“I can't do this.” I stated, “Ask your son to do it; maybe then he can learn a few things about the business that he so desperately wants to take over.”Don snickered, “We both know Ramon can't handle a tough person like Gemma Ricci; it has to be you.”“You know my history with her; I can't have her back in my life.” I stated.He slowly made his way up to me, putting his hand on my shoulder. “Trust me, I didn't want to have to bring you in, but none of my other men have been able to get through to her. I'm hoping that your history with her will be able to get her to open up to you.”Gemma Ricci and I had a relationship before I met Lily. We had intense sexual and emotional chemistry until she had to leave for an undercover operation, which ended up with us believing she was dead.By the time she resurfaced, I already had a relationship with Lily, and we were engaged.
