Dee's POV Jordan was on his way back and I hated to admit that I missed him. I missed his playfulness, his wit and some features I couldn't remember. But somehow I didn't want him back yet. His absence had brought me closer to my father though I still held some grudges against him. I allowed my hands rove over my chest while resting on the bed then a call came in. I checked and saw that it was Jordan then rolled my eyes before picking. "Hey partner!" He called with enthusiasm while I snorted. "What do you want?" I asked sharply. "I know you miss me already. Don't worry I'll be back soon but I need something from you urgently," He informed me and I scoffed knowing that he called me only because he needed something from me. "What is that?" I asked, feeling less concerned. "Some cash, I don't have enough money to get something for you." He explained. "I'll send you some money soon." I replied then ended the call after hearing h
Dee's POV I left the cell, enraged that my father didn't care about me and that strengthened my mind about my decision of not letting him go. He needed to rest there for a long time. "Come back here and take me to a hospital," He ordered like he used to do when he was free. I snorted and was about climbing up the stairs when I heard him talk to himself, I was sure he was soliloquizing because no one knew about the underground cell. I stood behind the door quickly but quietly to know what he was talking about. I heard him talk about how he didn't deserve it and lamented on how he did everything for the bastard but got nothing but disappointment in return. I retreated and climbed back up wondering who he was actually calling a bastard. Someone knocked at the door and I was so sure that it was Jordan. I ensured that the bed covered the door to the cell then went ahead to open the door for him. He looked good and different on his new comb-over hair
Amara's POV I was dressed up all ready for class. Tightly clutching to my bag I tried leaving the room but I couldn't because Luciano stood in front of me with a mean look. "I'm running late," I said. "And I repeat that you can't leave this house for your safety. Your life is in danger right now," He warned with his huge frame almost covering the door. "I don't care about my safety, I need to have a breath of fresh air and that won't be possible here." I complained. "That's none of my business too, the garden is available for you to unwind, but I won't allow you get hurt even though you don't care," He concluded and was about locking the door when someone knocked on the door. He opened it slightly and let Shuri in, then kissed Shuri and I on the forehead, not after warning me sternly to stay back. I scoffed and sat on the bed grudgingly. "What are you doing here?" I asked irritated by her presence as I took my phone to leave the room
Amara's POV I batted my lashes, still trying to recognize where I was. The room was painted in white and the sun rays reflected into the room making it extremely bright and giving my poor eyes some hard time. I slowly scanned the room to know if I was alone and tried remembering what brought me here in the first place. "Aaaa," I groaned because of the pain I felt at the back of my head. There were several machines in the room and wires connected to my body and I wondered if what happened was that severe. My mouth tasted bland and I felt pains all over my body. "You're awake," Luciano said with a not-so happy tone. "What happened?" I asked. "The doctor said it's something like Jar or Jarring. You fell off the stairs and passed out. You've been unconscious for three days now, I thought you wouldn't wake up," He said with his hands in his pocket. I remembered it all, the heated argument with Shuri and me trying to put her in troubl
Luciano's POV I drove back home alone engrossed in my thoughts. I didn't know what to feel about Amara's pregnancy. Being pregnant for made me feel different in a way I couldn't explain. But what bothered me was the fact that she still wanted me to free her. If she could see through my heart and know how difficult it was she wouldn't ask me to do such a thing. I loved her too much and now that she carried my seed, my love for her had doubled. I needed to find a way through all of this so I wouldn't lose her. The doctor had told me to be gentle with her, that the fall had a great impact on her health and she was lucky not to have lost the child. I decided to work on my schedule so I'd have more time to take care of her. Her mental and physical health was more important to me than any other thing, so I had to watch over her myself and make sure that she's fine. I parked my car in the driveway and walked into the house tiredly. I hadn't rested
Luciano's POV The drive to Massimo's house was slow as I was trying to put my emotions in check. While Luca was driving, I saw a man trying to help his heavily pregnant wife into his car and I imagined Amara being in that state. Damn! It won't be funny. The woman seemed to be in a lot of pain and I wondered if it was that painful for every woman or it was just her. I hope it was just her. I thought about Gio's strange call and imagined him leaking whatever happened in the house. I shook off the thought vehemently, and wished that it was someone else because I wasn't sure I could take another betrayal. We got to his house and Luca blew the car horn to alert them of my arrival. The gate was opened by the guard while he drove in and I climbed the stairs quickly. His house looked the same, as I tried to remember when last I visited him. My visit to his house was never for a good reason and this one wasn't for good as well. I had decided that th
Luciano's POV She couldn't be missing, I thought and shook my head. I dialed her line again but I still didn't get any response which got me more worried. Where could she be by this time of the night? She was still recuperating and the last thing she needed was stress. Then I decided that if she didn't pick her call this last time, I would have to check the control room to know what is happening. The phone kept ringing but there was no response so I flung the phone on the bed angrily. I didn't care if got broken, I just wanted my baby back. I dashed out to the control room so I would know when she left the house but I discovered that the camera was turned off in so many places. I raked through my hair in frustration and left the room, yelling at everyone who tried talking to me. Raul, Stefano and Dante stood in the living room still dressed in their black suits. I scanned through their faces which showed how tired they were. If everything was norm
Amara's POV The sky darkened as I walked through the lonely path Gio asked me to follow. I was skeptical about the arrangement he had made for me but his constant assurance calmed me down. Leaving the house wasn't an easy decision but I was left with no choice. Staying there was choking, I couldn't think or even live properly. So I talked to Gio about my plan and he promised to help me. I was surprised at how eager he was to assist me, but since he was the only one who offered to help me I accepted it. While we talked, I could sense how much he wanted me to be away from the house, like he had some plans in mind. I thought of Luciano while I walked and wondered what he would be doing now. He would be looking for me but he wouldn't be able to find me, because I made sure that every way to locate me was cut off. My phone kept ringing but I didn't pick, knowing who the
