Damon's POVMy Grandfather was back home but still a little weak due to his condition. He demanded to be bought back home about a week after he regained consciousness, refusing to be kept at the hospital to die there. There was not much to be done, except to be thankful for his presence with us each day.Layla and I were there to help in taking care of him because he needed us more than anything, like I still needed him. I know he had his moments of being something else but that didn't change the fact that he my grandfather, and I was fond of him. He taught me everything I needed to know about the corporate industry and everything that is there to being a successful businessman. The truth is, I would be lost without him and the thought of him dying was too much to bear.Walking towards his room, I stopped by the door when I heard voices in the room and peeked a little to see Layla covering him with a warm blanket, while adjusting his pillows behind him. Layla was a sweet, caring and c

Layla's POV“Layla, you have visitors downstairs”, Mary peeked into my room and I turned to look at her“Who is it?”A smile crept onto her lips. “It's best if you come see for yourself”I ran down the stairs and there was no one there and walked into the kitchen where I found Mary drying the dishes. I folded my arms and walked towards her with my brow raised.“I never thought you do pranks Mary”She laughed. “Harry took them for a tour outside in the garden”“Them?”Before she could answer me, the front door opened“It's so beautiful”“Thank you, Harry”Seeing who they were the second they walked in, I screamed while jumping up and down, and they joined in, squealing in excitement as I ran up to them for a group hug. My girls were here.“Why didn't you tell me you guys were coming?”, I was still trying to catch my breath from all that screaming the second we released each other “And ruin the surprise?”, Stacy raised a brow and I shushed her up playfully before hugging them again ind

Damon's POVLayla stirred a little in her sleep before fluttering her eyes open, and I turned my head a little to look at her to her lips turning into a smile the second our eyes met. Last night was just magical, but it was more about her, I wanted her to have the best experience she possibly can so that her first time was memorable.“Good Morning”, she tucked her head underneath my chin, cuddling closer to me and I wrapped my arm around her, trailing my fingertips up and down her bare back“Good Morning my beautiful wife”, I planted a kiss on her forehead and she looked up at me. “Did you sleep okay?”“Like a baby”, she laughed softly. “How bout you?”“I haven't slept like that in years”, I smiled before scooping her in my arms, and she let out a grasp, holding onto the covers tighter around her“What are you doing?”“We're going to take a shower together”, I got from the bed with her. “Is that a problem?”“Um,” he dropped her eyes for a second, fiddling with her fingers nervously. “

One year later...Damon's POV“Layla?”, I shook her gently as she fell asleep on the rocking chair in Dylan's nursery“Huh?”, she rose up whilst rubbing the sleep of her eyes and she barely could keep them open to look at me“What's wrong, is Dylan okay?”, she asked before something seemed to suddenly dawned on her. “Oh my God, I was supposed to feed him and I just fell asleep here-”“Layla”, my eyes softened when I saw the condition she was in, she was beyond exhausted. I could even see the bags under her eyes for putting pressure on herself to look after Dylan herself.“Don't worry, I heard him whimpering, and I fed him his bottle, burped and put him to sleep again. He's okay”, I pulled her for a tight hug and kissed her forehead. “I think we should go back to bed”She shook her head. “I can't, I think he's coming down with something and I have to stay up to check up on him-”“I'll look after him tonight, you really have to get some rest. You'll collapse from exhaustion”.“I'm okay”

Layla's POV“Thank God you are okay”, he breathed out relieved. If I wasn't scare enough a few minutes ago, now I was panicking.“What's going on here Damon?”“Daniel kidnapped you”, he sighed heavily, and I remembered that Daniel was the last person I saw before I lost consciousness“How are you able to get to me?”“Well I kidnapped you back”I plopped down the bed. “Huh?”“There's no time to explain everything. Keep that phone close to you, bear in mind that you are safe there”, before I could ask another question, he hanged up, and I was left with my mouth hanging open.My heart sank deeper into my rib cage when I heard the sound of the door being unlocked againYou are safe thereHow I'm I safe when I'm nearly close to having a heart attack each time the door unlocks. My heart pounded heart against my chest, suddenly having a heavy feeling in my stomach. Was it the guy wearing a balaclava again?The door was pushed open, and I nearly closed my eyes shut, I was afraid but on the ot
