Shane's POV

My hands were fixed to the steering and I sped faster. A figure jumped out of nowhere into the road and I quickly stepped on the brakes.

The figure gave way to an old man and he apologized, bowing his head. I didn't retaliate. He had probably not seen me coming and I was too fast. Either way, I would only cause trouble.

I got out of my car, and went to check on him. When I was certain he was alright, I returned to my car and waited some seconds before I started driving again.

My speed had reduced and I arrived at the suite in twenty minutes. Just as soon as my car door slammed shut, I walked into the penthouse, taking the elevator, going past the sleeping receptionist.

I got out of the elevator and past the attending bodyguards. I stopped just as I got to the door and was about to open it when it slid open.

Caleb appeared and greeted with a light bow. “Welcome, Master Shane.”

I didn't respond and walked in. “Where is she?” I asked as calmly as possible.

    Lucy's POV It had been months since Meredith sent any threats to us. The twins' third birthday was approaching in a week. “One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes…” Aria counted. “Stop counting. You're giving me a headache,” Ethan complained but Aria ignored him.She was so eager to count every single thing in the basket. We were in the kitchen and she thought it was better to count than hand me the potatoes like she was supposed to. “Mom,” Ethan called. “Please, tell Aria to shut up.”“Sweetie, don't be harsh on your sister. Aria, can you stop counting?”“But I want to be sure we have the right amount,” she complained. “It doesn't matter. You can count later when you're eating but we have to cook these. Hand me the potatoes,” I said gently. She held one, looked at it sadly like it was her precious toy and stretched her hands. “Thank you,” I mouthed and threw it into the pot.Ethan wasn't as patient. He picked a couple more and gave them to me. Soon, the basket was empty and wh

    Lucy’s POVGolden morning sun filtered through the curtains, lighting and warming the room. For the first time in weeks, both twins had slept later than dawn.It was supposed to be a gentle start.I was halfway through my coffee when Caroline blew in with the paper. “Front page, darling.”There was one: a picture of Dwayne and Xandra’s engagement, the headline citing the “Mason family charm.” I laughed. “Charm? They certainly didn’t see me screaming at Shane in that parking lot.”Caroline smiled. “They saw what mattered.”Before I could answer, the doorbell . It was quick, and sharp.Shane emerged from the nursery, still in his pajama pants. “Expecting someone?”“No,” I said. “Maybe Xandra forgot something.”The guard returned with a glossy black envelope. He handed it over to me. I took it, confused. It has no name and no return address.“The mail man said it was for Mrs. Wilson,” he said and I nodded, letting him return.I stared at the silver wax seal, imprinted with an odd symbol

    Lucy's POVThe twins changed everything from my sleep, to my schedule, my sanity. Everything was gone. The first week was a pain, then the next month. I was slowly getting used to it.It was 2 a.m, and I was doing what had become my nightly routine – trying to rock Aria to sleep while humming offline to a lullaby I barely remembered.Shane was up, holding Ethan because he was the one who started it, crying for no reason and waking his sister up.Ethan was the starter package. Aria was more quiet. He would cry so loud, waking his sister and go back to being quiet.Finally, Ethan closed his eyes and Shane had a lot of crisis trying to lay him in his crib without waking him up. “He's a little pain in the ass,” Shane whispered.“You're not different,” I mumbled back.Then he took Aria. She was a daddy's girl closing her eyes when she got in his arms. He rocked her, staying that way a little longer and I knew she was going to be spoiled rotten.“You're cheating. Ethan got little time,” I c

    Lucy's POVTwo and Half Months LaterThe music played in the ballroom. Tonight was Dwayne and Xandra's engagement party. He was as nervous as hell a day before, asking me for the hundredth time if Xandra would love to be his.Shane had fun mocking him. Dwayne and I had gotten closer. He acted like my brother and made Shane swear he would be the godfather of our child. Shane didn't buy that.“That's Caleb's role. You're an uncle. Deal with it.”“Tsk. After denying he was your best friend for so long,” Caleb complained.Shane had his hands over Dwayne's shoulder and teased him some more. “Thanks for making me realize it. You're not completely useless after all.”Dwayne shot him a glare and I knew what was up. “Nope. Not here. You two are going to act like grown men. Shane, stop testing Dwayne's patience. He needs it for tomorrow and you…”Dwayne's eyes immediately went to my face. “Let it go. Come help me with this.”Dwayne rushed over and then I felt a kick in my stomach. “Oooh,” I gro

He was scared I would break my ankle.My reflection in the mirror guided me as I applied my lipstick. I had a movie premiere to attend.My recent movie was cresting waves in the movie blockbuster and I was trending. Shane had promised me a surprise when he heard the news.I was still struggling to get my bracelet clasp when he stepped in looking handsome in his black tuxedo. His hair was perfectly styled.His eyes softened when they met mine. “You're glowing,” he praised, checking me out.I chuckled, trying to hide my blush and failed. “That's just the pregnancy hormones talking.”“No,” he whispered, closing the distance between us. “This one is on you, darling.”Mama Mia. How did I get this man? His fingers softly brushed a stray curl off my shoulder. I shivered when his warm hand touched my skin.“Close your eyes.”“Hmmm,” I said cheerfully. “What's the surprise?”“Y
