“Craving for anything? What do you want to eat? Tell me. I will give you anything you want,” Daemon said while slowly rocking her in his arms.It was a humid afternoon but she doesn’t want to stay in an air-conditioned room. She preferred fresh air while stroking her growing tummy so she stayed in the lawn in a strewn picnic blanket. Daemon has been adamant to keep her in his house for the rest of her pregnancy except when she really needed to go to the hospital.She wanted to object but she realized that it would be better if she kept her opinions to herself given that nothing will make him change his mind. Last month, he lost a dozen of his men against the Farrows family. Devon expected him to lash onto her but the opposite happened. He became clingier to her instead. “I don’t have an appetite. I just want to sleep,” she replied and snuggled closer to his heat.She guessed that being pregnant with his babies has perks. Being this close to him secured her feelings for his promise. S

“I never knew you to be that jealous type of woman. You were so cool back there, wifey,” he casually teased her when they arrived in the new safe house.His doctor just left after examining him and assuring her that he is way past the critical stage she ignorantly assumed. It’s proven that he is really alright now that he is busy teasing her more than resting.“I am not jealous. It’s a natural instinct. You can think of it as like some natural action.” She stacked several pillows on the both side of the bed. “I just don’t want Maddy to walk all over me. She is making me appear as a useless wife. I am a Farrows, Daemon. I don’t take insults like that easily.”“Really?” He playfully smiled at her. “But that’s not what I heard. I clearly heard you saying that you needed to be with me but sure, I’ll let it slide it because I don’t want you to burst in shame. But honey, being possessive of me is not something to be shy of. You can display it however you want. I won’t mind. In fact, I liked

The sun is high outside the floor-to ceiling hiding mansion of the Drufts but Devon is still debating with herself whether to wake Daemon up or leave him in peace. His men are outside clamoring to see his situation but Henry won’t allow them to see him. It was chaotic. Until now, they are still engaged in word war and she heard someone saying they have to decide who will be their new leader.“Daemon…” she slowly nudged his thigh but he just moaned a little and went back into his deep sleep. She sighed. He must have been so exhausted and besides that, he is still in pain from the bullet wounds. It would be cruel for her to disturb him. But what if his men outside will kill each other? It’s not a farfetched possibility. Members of mafia groups duel it out especially now that their leader is in his weakest state to select a new one. She’s seen it. It’s bloody just like how her own father overthrew her own grandfather right in front of her eyes to demonstrate his thirst for power. “Da

It was three in the wee hour of dawn when she woke up to an uncharacteristic kick of pains around her pelvic area that is unlike the ones she’s gotten used to. She ignored it for a few minutes thinking that it would ultimately go away but when the contractions became too frequent, that’s when she sat up on bed wincing in indescribable pain. “Daemon! Daemon!” She shook his arm to wake him up.“Yes, yes. What is it?” he asked after turning on the lights and searching for her eyes.“I think I’m laboring. Aw!” she shrieked when another wave of awful cramps assaulted her groin and back. Beads of sweat started forming on her face and her neck. “What?! Okay, breathe in, breathe out. We’ll go to the hospital now.”He carried her and ran outside the room shouting for the car to get ready. “Are you okay?” he held her hands while wiping the sweat and tears off her face. “You will be okay, I promise. Henry, take the quickest route! I want to be there in five minutes!”They were parking in fr

Threatening her to get their baby adopted by Maddy made Devon entertain the wild thoughts in her head. She is a mother and it’s only right and instinctual for her to keep Emily.She had withdrawn from his grasp and would only constantly stay by the baby’s side protecting her and even preventing anyone from holding her.A rumor began circulating in the mansion and into the other parts of the district about a mafia’s wife getting crazy over losing her twin son. On the other hand, Daemon’s power started declining, winning less gang fights and losing business deals to other groups in black market. The Farrows maintained their wealth and control over their territory and began reaching out to Devon. One night, the Farrows ambushed Daemon on the way home. “Henry, what is happening? Where is Daemon?” she asked, clutching the baby in her arms when Henry suddenly barged inside the room to wake her. It’s like a déjà vu. Everyone is in chaos again. Cars are getting in and out of the garage and
