When Bad Boys Fall II 67
Lucas’ POVA few weeks later.Coming back to Atherton felt strange as I drove through the quiet neighborhood. It was still the same. Not that I was expecting any major change, seeing I have not been around for a short amount of time. Also, I wanted to surprise Jackie today. The last time I saw her was after the day she left the hospital, and I was excited to see her. I needed to be around her now that she was going to go into labor any day from now.As I got close to our house, my chest tightened. As much as we were being careful with our current state of relationship, I was nervous of what she would think of me coming back or at least staying with her for a few days. I was glad that I told her to stay in our home instead of staying with Andrea so it would be easy for me to come see her without someone holding a knife to my back. I was actually happy that Jackie had people who were there for her, despite the history between the three of us.I arrived and slowly parked in front of the

Lucas’ POVI was sweating bullets as I paced back and forth at the airport entrance. There were still no available flights going to Atherton. My heart was pumping blood faster than usual, making me feel light headed and more restless. Jackie was about to give birth to our child to the world and the universe was about to fuck things up for me. I needed to be there for her, by her side, to make her feel that I was there through the pain she was going through.The moment my phone rang, I checked the ID and it was Maddie calling. I had sent a text to our group chat and they have been in panic mode since then. I answered the call and put the phone to my ear.“Yes, Maddie,” I said, sounding so out of breath as if I had been running around the whole airport building.“Lucas. Where are you now?”“At the airport. What is it?”She said something to someone before clearing her throat.“Lucas. My dad owns a private jet that is in one of the hangers at the airport. I spoke to my father and he said

Lucas’ POVBefore I knew it, Jackie had gone into active labor, close to delivery and was rushed into the labor room. I thought I had been restless hours ago, but now, I feel worse. It was around three in the morning that her contraction got worse and when the doctor and nurses had come to check her, they said she was dilated enough to be in the labor room.Now, I was stuck between going into the room to be with her or dying of worry out here in the hallway. I was partially less worried, just by a very tiny percent, because Andrea was in there with her but that was not enough. I wanted to be with Jackie, by her side. I got her pregnant and the thought of her being there alone, without me, the father of the child, made me feel guilty. It didn’t help that I could also hear the pained screams of other women coming from two rooms.I slid down the wall and sat on the floor, not giving a fuck if it was a hospital floor. I was nervous, sweating and had a funny feeling in my stomach. I wanted

Lucas’ POVAfter I went home to freshen up, I rushed back to the hospital, not wanting to stay away from Jackie and our newborn for too long. When I arrived, I saw our mothers standing at the entrance of Jackie’s room arguing.I stood for a few seconds to understand what was happening, listening in on their argument.“You have no right being here.”“And you do? That is my son’s child there… my grandchild!”“The son who abandoned my daughter?”I needed to put an end to this. They were running their mouths in front of Jackie’s room door and the last thing I needed was for her to hear the things they were saying about us.“You are—”“You better get—”“Enough.” I cut them off and marched over to them. I glared at each of them. “You two need to take your problems away from me and my family. Jackie does not need any of this shit you two are doing and if you cannot get over your fucking problems for once or at least for your kids, I don’t want any of you near us.”I could see the offense on

Lucas’ POVA month has gone by since Jackie brought our son into the world and it has been the best month and at the same time, stress filled. One thing I didn’t prepare for was how loud and fussy a baby could be. Even though the books said babies would keep their parents awake, Drake’s was too much. We barely slept a wink almost every night. He was always hungry. When I asked why he was fussy, my mother told me it came from me.From then, I didn’t complain but right now, it was three in the morning and Drake has been crying.My eyes were heavy, and my arms hurt from carrying him for two hours. Jackie had breastfed him, but he still continued to cry. He was either crying or refusing to sleep. I was sporting a headache already.“Hey, Drake,” I said to him as I rubbed his back softly. “Why don’t you close your eyes so daddy can go to sleep, hm?”The only thing I got was a burp as a response and when I felt a little warm weight on my shoulder blade, I knew he had thrown up. I sighed and

Lucas’ POVRookie CEO of Nexus Wealth Deals with Illegal Gang Race: Drug Trafficking and Drag Racing.My heart started to pound so fast in my chest and every sound around me muted. My phone suddenly appeared small in my hand as I stared at the screen, reading the headline over and over again. I took a deep breath and sat down on the closest couch then started to read the article. From start to finish, everything was about me racing illegally, mingling with people who did drugs at the racetrack, the team embroiled in illegal activities, with pictures of me being part of the group. It was over. There was no way I was recovering from this. Henry attacked me so well and I doubt there is anything escaping it.I searched up my company’s name, going on every social media platform but there was barely any article. I was partially relieved since I was just a newbie, but the attention was still on me, and this was social media. Digital footprints would affect me even if I escaped this and becam

Lucas’ POV“Dad?” What was he doing here?Why can’t he stop coming out in public so much when Henry could easily find him.“Dad?” Matt repeated and looked at me with wide eyes. “What is going on here?”I walked past Matt to him and stood in front of him, angry.“What are you doing here and—”“Move aside, Lucas,” dad said.We stared at each other for a few seconds before I stood to the side. He walked past me to where Matt was. I hesitantly turned around and watched Matt’s face. Shock and confusion was heavy on his face.“What…how?”Dad reached out his hand to touch him and he smacked it out of the way. I rushed over to his side and glared at Matt who looked like he was on the verge of exploding.“What the fuck is goin going on here?!” He yelled. “How are you fucking alive?!”Matt faced me and grabbed me by the collar, pulling me into his face. I held his shoulders, trying to put space between us.“Is this some sort of joke?” He asked in my face. “How much did you fucking pay for some

Jackie's POVI smiled as soon as I opened my eyes. Last night had been amazing as memories of it came flooding my head. I rolled onto my side and smiled wider when I saw the man of my dreams laying asleep with his bare and muscular chest open. I bit my lip and placed my hand on his smooth chest, loving the feel of his rigid muscles under my hands. He moaned when I moved my hand down to his abs, running my fingers around them. I was tempted to push my hand into the blanket covering his hips and legs. I shifted my hand up to his face and ran my fingers around his sharp jawline, following the line of his perfect jawline. I touched his pointed nose before touching his soft lips. My core tingled at the memories of how he had given me ultimate pleasure with his mouth and I still blushed when I remember how I had squirted the first time he did it. I felt his lips part and I tensed, hoping he wasn't awake. When he didn't open his eyes, I grinned and scooted closer to his body.I eyed his be
