Birthing Twins For My Ex's Uncle Drained smile
Daphne's POV The slushing of the water came to an abrupt stop as I turned off the faucet, splashing the running water on my face as footsteps halted outside the door before throwing on a bathrobe. “ Lorenzo” a gasp snaked out of my mouth when he leaned forward, his head against my shoulder as he sniffed in and the heavy scent of alcohol wafted into my nostrils. “You have been drinking?” My words came out in a statement rather than a question with him standing upright. He sank into the couch. “I know you don't like me drinking, but I needed to clear my head” his eyes were in slit as he gazed upon me so tenderly that my heart twitched. He looked so devastatingly cute, and I couldn't bring myself to scold him. “Did something happen?” I pushed. Everything had been fine when he left, but now he looked as if he had been ridden over by a truck, wasted and sad. “The designer will be coming in an hour for your dresses. Mine and Alexis are ready, tomorrow you will be introduc

Daphne's POV I knew that I had to get used to the fact that Jaden was always going to show up at my face, but this was becoming unbearable, his very existence disgusted me, making me want to puke. “ What are you talking about?” He squinted his eyes, inching closer when a guard stepped in front of him. “ You should leave” his icy tone threw Jaden off guard who peered at me so hard with his fist clenched and teeth gritted. “The don wouldn't want you in here, and you know that.” Jaden raised a hand up, with a piercing gaze he stepped away. “ Is everything okay?” Lorenzo questioned when I had a hand on my chest, stuffing in a smile, I bobbed at him when his face was probing.Hooking his arms around mine, he gestured. “ Let's go, Helena will be out any time soon”Our feet moved with us in silence, not saying a word. Everything felt numb at a point but when the wind rustled against my hair revealing Trisha to me something burnt in me. She quickly hid herself, tucking in the crowd wh

Lorenzo's POVThe echoes of my heart against its rib cage told me that it was a figment of my imagination, that I hadn't heard correctly at first what she had said but the test strips, her red eyes and her lips curved downward gave me a different answer. With voice shaking and eyes stiffened, I asked.“ You are pregnant?” I repeated what she had said. The tiny bubbles around us burst into ripples of joy as I scooped her in my arms. The test strips long forgotten and her beautiful eyes in circles as she tries to shove me away. “ Get off me, drop me down. I don't want this. I am not ready, I don't….” “ Shush” I placed a finger over her lips, shutting up the noisy voice that might be playing in her head. “ I will be with you through all of its phases, so you don't have to worry” I assured her, hoping that those fine lines that drew all over her face would straighten, but instead they deepened. She shook her head, her mind must be running in a daze, but I was here to let her know th

Daphne's POV Lorenzo leaving right away wasn't something that had dawned on me, I mean, it was barely an hour we left Helena's marriage, and we were supposed to be together, not him leaving for work. As though on cue, Irene waved me goodbye before sliding into a tinted black Maybach that got my brows crested, but I would inquire at another time about that. “ What do you mean work?” I questioned, a scoff following as my hands held his sleeves.“ Today is Helena's marriage and I mean, we got married not too long ago, and we should be home back with the doctor and not you working” I explained when his hands stroked my face. “ You know that I will do whatever it is just to make sure that I stay in with you, but this is time-critical and it requires my attention”I wanted to ask how urgent it was, and what it entails, but his eyes told me not to, gulping down the next train of words that had threatened to pour out, I bobbed my head taking footsteps back. “ I will leave, and wait for

Lorenzo's POV “ You can't,” I whispered. What exactly was she thinking? Was she really going to leave me? A break? Wasn't that what people say when they don't want you anymore? Was Daphne tired of me already? I didn't know what to do. A life without her was finally sipping in, and it wasn't pretty. Not one bit. “Lorenzo. I can't do this anymore. I live in threat, my life is always at the edge, so please let me go. I just need to take a breath outside here and think. I am not leaving you”. Not leaving me? I found myself bursting into spirals of laughter at her words. She was practically tossing me to the wind. She was one beautiful woman, not minding the stretch marks on her butt nor her boobs which weren't perky, she had heads turning to take a look at her and men ogling at her and I didn't want to let her go. “I can't,” I shook my head. I was ready to plead with her. “You can't leave me” my heart thumped as I tried to make her see reason when a whoosh passed me and our feet

Daphne's POV “ So are you going to tell me what exactly you have been hiding from me?” I leaned against the door, throwing the question at Irene who stood, transfixed to the spot. Her eyes wavering as she tried not to stare at me. “ Daphne, I was going to tell you, but I was waiting for the right time to tell you about it”I bit in a chuckle. “ Isn't this the right time?” I demanded to know when she didn't give me a word. Her eyes were still averted from mine, which made me wonder how much shit she was in. “ Fine” I sat on the couch close by. “ Just start from wherever you think is perfect for me to know. I am never going to judge you, you know” I assured her. How exactly am I going to judge her? We have all done shady things….“ He is someone's husband,'' Okay, I guess my shady and hers were two different kinds. “ That means you are a mistress?” When exactly did she get into this that I didn't have an idea about? This was stupid already. “Just until he gets divorced. He is unha

Lorenzo's POV My heart sledged against its rib cage as I slinked down the air stairs getting into the car waiting by the side. All the news article said the same thing, that the car had sunk but a tiny bit of me told me that wasn't true. That it had to be false, that maybe somewhere, somehow I could get her out. That she was fine and okay, just for me, the kids and the baby in her womb. My feet scampered out when the car came to a screeching stop just beside the water, divers lurked around, torches in hands, the screams and shouts made my hand flaccid. The ring was long forgotten as I tried to search for his owner, the only one who had made my life bright but was now gone and would make my life a hell if I didn't find her. My feet quickened, against the water as I tried to jump in when a man, short and crappy stood in front of me. “You can't go in, the men are there, and we cannot be certain about what is going to happen to you if you go in there” he explained. I flung him to t

Lorenzo’s POV My finger rimmed the edges of the glass, my eyes burnt with fury as I chugged down the glass of scotch that burnt down to my stomach from my throat while I tried to stay sane. “ Are you certain?” I questioned, my hands caressing the Glock safely tucked in my pocket. The silence hung above the air like thick clothing before it dissipated. “Yes,” I stood up, snapping the key off the table, my footsteps heavy on the tile.“ Boss” Tristan's steps quickened as he tried to get closer to me when I shoved him off. “ Stay back” I ordered when I saw how persistent he was, my hands clenched his neck, when he was being adamant before I slammed him against the door to the truck. “ I said you should get out of my way. Now” He stood, back reclined against the door. “You can't go in there. It is like a fortress, and you will get killed” he explained when I dragged him like a doll. “Then let me die. I am going there, and I am going to make sure he pays” I swore before gliding int

Lorenzo's POV “ She wouldn't like this,” Don Dawson said to me as I offered him the drink I had managed to win at an auction. “ I know right? Daphne would hate it if she knows that I am here with you, but it doesn't seem like I have a choice here” He shook his head to the side, snapping them gently before he uncorked the wine, the pop going off as I glanced at it, he poured a bit into a glass which he handed to me, and another which he kept for himself. “ She actually told me to settle things with you, smooth things out, she had said,” he gave the only reason which I could say made sense. That she had an idea about what exactly was happening, because if she hadn't found me in bed with her, I knew she would have blown up my phone with calls right about now, and I was loving it. It showed that I was loved just as much as I loved her, with how she didn't hide at all to show that. I bobbed my head, gulping down the drink in a go when it hit the back of my throat, I swallowed, letti
Birthing Twins For My Ex's Uncle Some company
Lorenzo's POVWhen she had asked, wanting to make sure that I was fine, I didn't know what else to say aside from the fact that I was fine.I didn't want her to worry, I didn't want the crest on her face to deepen, I hated to see her worry, so I just couldn't bring myself to give her an answer that would break her again. When we had walked into the decorator greenhouse, the makeshift one that I had ordered to be made before all the ruckus happened, I found myself saying the word that I hadn't even practiced for. I had thought about this moment for years, kept it in mind for hours, thought about her expression when she saw it, but none of them had prepared me for when I was there, kneeling before her. I found myself stuttering, the words I didn't plan came out of my mouth instead, was I perhaps tense? I probably was, but it helped me get away of the thoughts that my father was dead. The doctor had given a heart attack as the answer, and we hadn't pushed on, neither had the workers
Birthing Twins For My Ex's Uncle Engagement
Daphne's POV My hands held Alexis, as my hands went on his back, smoothening it gently, Lorenzo was still, not saying a word, but I knew he had a lot in mind. My hand held his hands, squeezing it gently, as I tried to get him back to me when he gave a small smile at me, his eyes deepened as he stared at me. “ I am fine” he assured me, that I wondered if he knew if he had any idea that his face was a sharp contrast to what he had just said. “ It is fine to let the tears down if you want to” His lips curved into a small smile, which did little to help, before he glanced outside. “ Chad will be waiting for us, we have to be sure that everything is fine, and whatever is it wouldn't harm him, you know with everything that has been happening” I nodded, bobbed my head in understanding at what he had just said. It was going to be fine. “ Wouldn't you go back? To take him to the morgue?” He bobbed. “ I will have to do that tomorrow, I would prefer that we bury him tomorrow, but first
Birthing Twins For My Ex's Uncle Payback
Daphne's POV I racked my brain, trying to ascertain that it wasn't who I was thinking, he wouldn't have been so stupid, he wouldn't do something like that. “ Daphne…. Daphne..” Irene's voice pulled me out. I threw her a glance, when footsteps glided in, and my father rushed in, rage stomped over his face. “ You said something about Alexis missing, have you seen him? Where exactly would he be? Do you think it would be from my side or Lorenzo's?” He tried to make certain that we would curtail this problem. I knew there was just a person, one person in Brooklyn but this wasn't how I wanted it to end, I didn't want to give him an easy death, he didn't deserve that. I needed Drago to be in pain, I needed him to pray for death, but he wouldn't see, I wanted him to watch my face as he died, I wanted to see his car slide down the bridge as mine had done. What exactly had been my offense? His son loved me.“ Drago” I uttered, loud enough to his hearing. “ He is the one who has him” Hi

Lorenzo's POV I traipsed into the lift a happier man that I thought I was going to be, I watched gently as she sat on the chair, holding the kids firmly, before dropping the bags on the table. I couldn't have been happier, she was back in my life and back to me. I didn't know if I was thinking too fast, but I found myself inching to give her the ring I had gone to customize before the accident happened. I hadn't forgotten, nor forgiven Drago but I didn't want to think about him, not with this new joy that I felt. “ Do you think that I should apply it in, now?” “ Mother, I will help you with it,” Avery offered. “ I will do so also” Alexis offered also, and I was relegated to the background. It had barely grazed her arms, so Chad had said, but we had to be careful. It was so close to her arm socket, that if the bullet had gone in even further, it might have caused her an arm. I didn't know what to say, but I kept taking in air, and found myself saying prayers also. Of course,

Daphne's POV I tried to force my eyes open but it stuck adamantly, I let out a hiss before trying again before whistling out in pain. I hated how I felt, it seemed as though I had been rammed over by a lorry and thrown over here, I tried to push myself up but I just couldn't. Sighing in resignation, I tried once more, gentle at first and the sharp ray of lighting that flashed through caused me to clasp it shot again. I gnashed, took in air before I flickered them open once more,this time swerving a glance around. I was stunned when warmths sipped into me. Flipping my head to the side, my eyes watered when I noticed Avery by one side, and Alexis by another, and Lorenzo holding my hands. I bit hard into my cheek, taking in the pain while I tried to force myself not to shed a tear. This was everything that I wanted, everything that I had imagined, my family back with me. I laid back, letting the warmth cascade down to my side, let it drap itself around me when I ran my hands thro

Lorenzo's POV Broken, I had never been this broken as I clung onto her, tears racing down my face while I glanced around, an empty shell. Hands held me, voices echoed around me, pleading for me to let go, but I just couldn't, I held her, squeezed my hands around her, pleading for her to come back to me. “ Lorenzo” Jack's voice thundered above me, as he shook my shoulders. I flipped my head around, barely considering his face before I stared at my hands. Coated with blood, my beloved blood, and I forced myself up. “ Where are you taking her?” Dawson's voice drilled into me, he forced himself forward, as he stretched his hands at me. “ You will get out of my front, or else, I will shoot you the fuck now” I warned, my eyes glazed with rage. “ Drop her down, she is mine and…” “ Father” a hand held his shoulder. “ Let him go with her. She will be safe with him” I didn't so much as spare him a glance as I sauntered through, my eyes darkened with rage before settling her on the seat.
Birthing Twins For My Ex's Uncle Crashed wedding
Lorenzo's POV I knew that something was up, I knew there was something Daphne wasn't telling me, and although I had tried countless times not to think about it, I was so sure that it made sense now. I had felt her salty tears, the one that ran down my back countless times, and even when I thought that it was from the fact that she was enjoying it, my two senses told me that she wasn't okay somehow, but she wouldn't just say. I couldn't push her either, I was never going to do that, not when she was hiding the fact that she was Daphne so good that I didn't know what to say nor do. I had tried numerous ways that I knew about just to have her to talk, but we were tight lipped,still insisting that she was Talia and not Daphne. Now, with the card in my hands, I didn't know what to say. My heart was in shreds as I glanced at it, the names fading the more I glanced at it. I swallowed, in a world of my own, when I noticed a hand shook my shoulders. “ Get back here man, I have been call
Birthing Twins For My Ex's Uncle Reeks of him
Daphne's POV His lips slid into my mouth, making me miss all the times that we hadn't had time together. His teeth bit into my tongue, possessively, fiercely, while I fought for him to let go. My cunt pooled before he could slip a finger in, while I ached my back properly, giving him a proper view of my face. I held myself, my hands by my side as I forced myself not to run my hands on his face. I inched to do so, wanted to do so, found myself inching and aiming to do so, but I just couldn't. He pulled away gauging my expression. “ What?” I asked, his eyes softened as I stared into them. His hands drew pretty lines over my face, his love filled eyes pierced through me as he exhaled. “ You look so beautiful, so beautiful that I wouldn't mind gazing at you for the rest of my life, and I also wouldn't mind giving you my heart. I want you to own it all” My heart slammed at his words, as I drowned in them. They sounded perfect to me. I sniffed in, keeping my emotions at bay, befor
