Chapter: Chapter 38CARLTON'S POV The loud sound of the alarm almost destroys my eardrum and I hastily turn it off before more damage can be done. I forgot to charge my normal alarm clock last night, so I had to use the manual one with changeable batteries. Now I remember why I stuffed it in the cupboard years ago. The stupid thing is too damn loud. I get up from the bed, do my regular morning stretches, before taking the alarm and stuffing it back into the cupboard. I turn to leave the room but I don't make it to the door before I change my mind. I take out the alarm clock and throw it into the trash can instead. I walk into the bathroom and brush my teeth, before heading downstairs to the kitchen. I start brewing some coffee and open my phone to check my emails while I wait. “What is this?”Marigold walks into the kitchen holding her phone up to my face. “What is what?”“This,” she points to the screen and glares at me, her nose flaring up. I squint my eyes to look at what she is showing me t

Chapter: Chapter 37CHAPTER 34 CARLTON'S POV I am not surprised by what I'm seeing. Andre always indulges in fights everyday with his classmates. But the person he is fighting is what baffles me. One of Dahlia's children, Gianna. Just when I was getting on her good side. The last thing I want is for there to be some sort of feud between our kids. That will not bode well for our relationship moving forward, business or private. I run to where the kids are pulling each other's uniforms and try to separate them. “Stop this, both of you.” “He started it,” Gianna says pointing at Andre with so much spite in her eyes. Great, just great. “It doesn't matter who started it, you know you shouldn't be engaging in fights, Gianna,” Dahlia scolds her, “and you boys are just watching them. I am disappointed,” she turns to her three sons who have their heads down. “But Gianna was just trying to become friends with Andre. And then he hit her,” Gavin says, pointing an accusing finger at Andre. But Dahlia

Chapter: Chapter 36CARLTON'S POV The sound of the espresso machine brewing knocks me off my train of thoughts. I didn't even realize my eyes were closed until the person at the machine apologized for waking me up. I just nod and turn away, sitting up on the couch. I had come into the lounge for a cup of coffee but somehow I ended up sitting on the couch without the coffee, in deep thought. I haven't been able to stop thinking about Dahlias kids. They have been on my mind since the day at the cafe. And recognizing her daughter as the child from the store in LA makes everything so awkward. To think Dahlia had possibly been in L.A all those years and in that store at the same I was. So she had been living there with them, with her husband, the father of her kids. I haven't seen him at all. Could it be that he is still in L.A, is he even still in the picture? Is she married to him? Then it hit me. Tristan Martinez. They say they are business partners but what if it's more than that. What if they are

Chapter: Chapter 35DAHLIA'S POV “Sunny, did you hear?” I look at her skeptically. It's obvious that she heard everything, still I want to be sure, I need to know how much she heard, and what exactly she makes of it. Who knows she might think Tristan is just joking. “I heard everything Dahlia,” the anger in her tone is undismissable and I shut my eyes so tight, I am afraid they won't open again. “Did you hear me Dahlia,” she repeats, when my eyes are still shut but her tone is higher. “Yes Sunny, I heard you, you heard everything, I know,” I blurt out in frustration. Tristan just said only him and I knew, we'll add Sunny to that list. The more people know, the more the chances of Carlton finding out. “Are you serious? How can you still talk to me like this after I just heard what I heard? You're living under my roof, we've been friends since high school, I've only been on your side since you got back and I see your kids as mine too. Yet you didn't bother to tell me that Carlton is their father? Is t

Chapter: Chapter 34CHAPTER 31DAHLIA'S POV This little boy is Carlton's son? I had no idea he had a son. Then again, I never bothered to ask about his life. I have been so strict on everything being professional. A million things are going through my head right now but for the life of me I can't say a word. I just stare at Carlton in shock, my gaze switching between him and his son. Carlton on the other hand is staring past me. I have been so caught up in the fact that he has a son, that I didn't notice the bigger problem here. My kids. This can't be happening. Carlton opens his mouth to speak but I beat him to it.“So you're his father?” I am asking the obvious, but I need to steer the conversation away from me and my four clones behind me. “Andre, yes,” he says, shifting his gaze back to me. “How…ummm…why are you with him,” he seems like he's trying to align his thoughts together as he keeps stealing glances at my kids. Well I'm equally shocked that he has a kid. But the difference is that k

Chapter: Chapter 33DAHLIA'S POV I quickly withdraw my hands, avoiding his piercing gaze. I hope nobody noticed whatever that was, because the last thing I want is for rumours to start going around. Not yet. I resume piping and show the bakers how to do the multiple designs. They applauded my work after I'm done, making side comments of how amazing my technique is. Some of them even walk up to me to tell me. I enjoy when people give you the credit you deserve for your work, it is an amazing thing for people to acknowledge how good you are. One more reason as to why Carlton, his family and mine have to suffer, they never did that. I wrap up in the kitchen and begin pulling off my apron when Carlton walks up to me. “You did exceptionally great. I never knew you could bake so well,” he says in sincerity but all I get from that is a journey to the past. He never knew I could bake when we were together, that is what he is trying to say. For some reason that infuriates me and I just feign a smile as

Chapter: 134 | FinaleDiamond2 years later…I looked around happy with the table arrangement. Lennox would sit beside me of course, the kids and then Karl and Rebecca beside each other. The oven dinged and I went over to check the chicken. Rebecca loves her chicken golden brown and properly crisped, so I left it in for a few more minutes.Rebecca and Karl were coming over for dinner and final preparations for their wedding tomorrow. She had always wanted to go on her honeymoon the night of her wedding, so I won’t get to see her for a while after tomorrow. That only reiterated the need for this dinner. Lennox and I would be hosting them, alongside the kids. We were happily married now and might I say, this two years have been the best of my life. A lot had happened within the span of two years. My parents and I were finally on good terms although we don’t speak frequently because that can’t just change after so many years. I had gotten a permanent job at the hospital. After the incident with Tim, he an

Chapter: Chapter 133 Diamond My hands were trembling as I made my way to Lennox’s room. Karl was behind me and I could sense that he was equally as anxious as I was. Rebecca had gone to inform Lennox’s parents about his condition. I slowly knocked on the door before letting myself in. I turned to see that Karl wasn’t following me in. He nodded and closed the door behind me. Lennox was staring at me intensely as I walked across the room to the bed. “Hey”, I said as I sat beside him. “Hi”, his smile was wide and genuine. He took my hand in his and brought them up to his lips, placing a small kiss on my knuckles. “I was so scared…”, I began as tears filled my eyes, “I’m sorry”, I said cleaning the tears off my eyes. “What are you sorry for, you didn’t do anything” “Exactly, I didn’t do anything. I couldn’t do anything, I…I thought I was going to lose you. I couldn’t bear the thought of not seeing you again, of not having you in my life.” “Diamond…”, he squeezed my hands gently and looked into my

Chapter: Chapter 132Karl I paced around the hospital hallway after my discussion with the doctor. He had spoken to Diamond first since I was nowhere to be found. After making sure Hayden was alright, I left the hospital to go search for Agatha and Lennox since they both had mysteriously disappeared. Rebecca had to stay with Diamond and the kids for emotional support. But during my vague search, I saw on the news that Lennox had been shot by an ex-convict. I had never been more sacred in my life. I began panicking and stumbled over anything and everything in my way, but I didn’t bother to pick them up. I had been to the bar I met Lennox in. At that point I just searched everywhere Lennox would normally be that I was aware of. The bartender and a few drunk men yelled at me as I exited the bar but I payed no attention to them. I immediately ran to my car, fondling with my keys, before I finally opened it. I hopped in and sped off quickly in the direction of the hospital. A lot of things went through my

The doctors had to monitor his progress and recovery. “Put that down”, I ordered Braden who was accessing some of the equipment on a tray“I know you’re curious, I was too at your age, but these are sharp objects and not something you play with”, he pouted and stepped away from the tray, “I’ll get a nurse to take the tray out”Jayden was sitting beside Hayden on the bed, he had not left that position since we came in to see Hayden. I hated having to put them through this, it was my mess, they didn’t have to suffer for it too.I left the room to get a nurse to come clear the tray.I was about entering the room when I turned to see Rebecca running to me. She got to where I was standing, breathing heavily.“What’s wrong, Rebecca? Why are you running?”She was still panting heavily but managed to get her words out.“Le...Lennox, he was rushed to the ho

Chapter: Chapter 130LennoxI had never felt more scared in my life. My heartbeat elevated as we ran into the hospital. I tried to collect my thoughts. I felt so guilty. I never should have let Natalia out of my sight. If anything happened to her it would be my fault and I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.We rushed to the security office. Rebecca was there, in a heated argument with one of the security guards.“What’s going on?”, I asked as we neared them.Rebecca turned to me and said the man wouldn’t allow her see the security footages. I mentally smacked myself in the head, why didn’t I think of this first before running to the police station.Agatha walked passed me and began threatening the guard who seemed unfazed by her words.We had to get permission from the board in other to view the footages but there was no time for that. So I stepped forward willing to plead with the guard. To my surprise he recognized me, and his tone changed to one of respect.“Dr. Winthrop, are you with t

Lennox was the father of these bastards?How is it even possible?They are probably a year younger than Natalia. So when did it even happen?Where they still seeing each other behind my back?So many questions swirled in my head. I assumed a variety of conclusions.But deep down there was one final conclusion which I didn’t want to accept. And it seemed like the most reasonable…She had gotten pregnant before their divorce.That would mean he didn’t cheat on me or betray me.I turned to look at the two boys with identical faces. I had never seen it before, mainly because I never bothered to observe them, but there was a resemblance to the Winthrops…to Lennox.I shook my head in disbelief.Turning away from the b

Even though I wasn't his coach again, I knew that Sabastian wouldn't disappoint me, as he was really good.The team finally went to the bus which they had brought, while I went to my car, but as I was about to start my car, Sabastian showed up."Where did you think you were going without me?" He smirked, and I just blinked my lashes rapidly, trying to understand what he was trying to do."Open the door," he told me, and I quickly did so, as he stepped in."What are you doing here? the bus is about to leave now." "I'm not going with them, but rather I'm going with you, besides I'm sure you are going home, but they are not." He tried to explain to me, but I just took a deep breath."Sabastian today is a day of celebration, I mean you guys won, so it's only expected that you guys have fun together,

"Sabastian I think it's high time you go and see him, instead of ignoring his calls always, I mean how long will you continue this way?" Felisha asked me, and I just stared blankly at her, realizing she was saying the truth, but I really don't want to go and see my dad for now.He had told me to stay away from her, but due to the love I have for her, I couldn't, so the fact that he wanted to see me, I'm not really comfortable with it, because I believe that he was going to say the same thing like he always says about me and Felisha, but I really don't want to hear that."Sabastian, are you listening to me?" Felisha words jerk me to reality, and I quickly turned over to her."Yes I can, but honestly I already know what my father is going to say, so I don't want to hear it." I told her, while she sighed softly."I tota

I quickly ended the call as I snatched my car keys and went out of my flat house.Anthony was really so cruel, and I have tried all it takes for Felisha to divorce him, but she still doesn't want to. Though I understand why.I thought as I finally stopped at Felisha house. I quickly rushed in, as I saw Anthony still on her body throwing punches at her. "What do you think you are doing you bastard?" I cursed at him as I rushed over to where he was sitting on her body.He quickly stood up, and moved away from her. I wanted to fight him, but decided to check up on Felisha first.She was almost lifeless, so I just quickly carried her up, and left there. I'm going to deal with Anthony later.Once I arrived at the hospital, she was attempted to by the doctor who said, if I didn't bring her early enough she would have died."Okay thank goodness I brought her early enough."

I asked her, still finding it hard to believe how she had reacted when I told her about the new teacher."No, I'm not, besides I don't intend to stay in the school forever, and also you need another teacher as soon as possible, since the competition isn't far away again." She told me, and I just took a deep breath. Though I saw a lot of sense in what she had just said, I still can't help but worry about her."I'm totally fine okay, and I see you are worried about me, but trust me you really don't have to." She assured me, and I finally tried to relax myself, before I finally changed the topic.We talked a little more, before our food was being delivered. I took it from the delivery man and paid him off before coming in with it.I handed one over to Felisha and also took mine, before we had our lunch.We t

She threatened, and I just swallowed the leap I never knew was in my throat."Wait a minute, are you threatening me right now?" I asked, not bothering to respond to what she was asking me."No, I'm just stating what is in my mind, and I'm really going to do it, so it's not a threat in any way." She told me off, while I just took a deep breath."Well you don't have to, because I'm already dressed now, so I will definitely be in school today."

I mean my best friend Ava, is the least person I expected to see here. No scratch that, I'd completely even long lost hope that I'll ever see her again. Disbelieved turned into excitement as we both dived each other into a breathtaking hug. We hugged each other like our life depended on us since the tightness from the hug even restricted our airflow and eventually we were both crying. “I’ve missed you so much Ava” “Me too, Only the moon goddess knows how much I’d yearned to see you again. I thought...I thought those lads killed you already...I’m sorry daciana I missed you.” “Me too, me too ava...” We cried so much, tears of joy for seeing each other and that was how things became emotional, reminiscing and repeating to each other how we'd missed each other.

Like out of the pack house.Rena had earlier took permission from Wallace to hang out with me promising to take care of me and keep an eye on me. Well not like that last part was necessary because I’ll never do something that’ll get her in trouble.Right now, we’re in her own room right here in the pack house and we’re sorting out the best outfit to wear to the party.“C’mon dacianna, unless you’ve other plans to escape which will get me in trouble with Lowell then this is the best idea.” She dump the gown she was checking out on the heap of clothes already on the bed and turns to face me. “Everyone could see you as a slave girl but to me you’re royalty and you deserve to live a little. Go out! Have fun with me like best friends do. Plus now that the Alpha isn’t around, it’s the perfect time to finally go out.”She said with an enthusiastic smile.My mind

I agreed which is the honest truth."He simply took advantage of his powers sometime ago to oppress our pack. He made Lowell's father a victim of his sheer cruelty and also some members of this pack. I can't explain everything to you but he really hurt Lowell and our pack in general."I still didn't get the full story but I didn't push any further. Connecting the dot with what the Luna had told me, it could be possible that my father killed Lowell's father. My father had always been a monster anyway "Don't be sad daciana. It's not your fault that your father have to be Adophus. You haven't done anything wrong as far I am concerned" Wallace picked my palm and caressed it and that was when I realized I've pulled a doleful look once Wallace was done."Why are you so different from Lowell?"

We would always stay out late nights to discus it till the D-day.
