2025-01-21 15:35:16Taylor’s pov
A loud knock woke me up from my sleep. The door opened before I could respond. Simon walked into my room with a cup of coffee in his hand.
“Hey” he said, sitting next to me on the bed.
“Hey” I responded in a low voice,
“It's been 5 days Taylor, you will die if you continue being like this, please eat something” he said. I shook my head, tears falling down my cheeks.
“I don't want to live, not without him” I said with a sign., It was so hard not breaking down.
“Kevin was my best friend. I understand exactly how you are feeling, but your life doesn't have to end just because he is gone. We need to keep living, it's what he would have wanted” Simon’s words didn't make me feel any better. How would I continue to live if the most important person in my life was gone? A part of me died alongside him. I will never be okay again.
“You know he didn't kill himself, right? The police said he killed himself but we both knew Kelvin, there is just no way” I said in a heavy voice. Kelvin had been looking forward to our wedding. We talked for hours the day before the wedding, talked about how many kids we wanted and how we would go about doing things. There was no way he killed himself.
“There was no other fingerprint on that knife except his and yours. The stab wound indicated it was self-inflicted. I am sorry Taylor, I know…” I stood up, stopping him from saying anything more.
“Can you even hear yourself? Give me one damn reason why Kelvin would kill himself, just one!” I yelled. When Simon didn't respond, I let out a laugh
“There was no way he would kill himself. Someone killed him and the police didn't do anything. I won't sit around and do nothing. I will get justice for him, I will do everything in my power to find out who did this!” I thought Simon would be the most understanding, Kelvin was his best friend, he knew him better than any other person and yet here he was saying this crap.
“Taylor” Becky peeped into the room holding my phone which was ringing.
“Your Dad is calling” she said. I composed myself and answered the call.
“Baby, I heard what happened” he began, making me roll my eyes.
“Don't Dad. First, you didn't show up at my wedding, and then I am sure you sure as hell know someone killed Kelvin. Do you know how broken I am? Probably not. I am losing my mind, Dad, and it took you what?, Five days to call me.” I was much more upset than I wanted to,
Becky squeezed my hand in comfort.
“Calm down baby” she whispered. I let out a deep sign
“I am calling to offer my help”. Dad said
“With what exactly?” I asked. This was one of the reasons why I hated my Dad. He knew he was wrong, but he would never apologize.
“I didn't like Kelvin and to be honest, I am glad he died” he said, making me cuss at him.
“Did you call just to make me more upset? I am hanging up”, I warned.
“Don't hang up” he said with a sign,
“I hired the best detective in London to help you find your closure” he said. His words actually made me surprised.
“You don't think Kelvin killed himself?” I asked him in disbelief.
“He did not. Someone murdered him. Thankfully, this won't bring him back, but I know you will feel better when you find the person who killed him” Dad had a bad way with words, but I wasn't expecting him to agree with me this once. It made me feel like I wasn't crazy when I continuously said Kelvin didn't kill himself.
“When does he arrive?” I asked.
“Probably by tomorrow morning. And honey, I know you are mad at me, but I will make it up to you, take you on a little trip just the two of us” he suggested, making me laugh.
“You can take your little wife, she loves trips, remember?!” I exclaimed and hung up the call before I could hear another word from him.
“See, even Dad thinks the same about this. I am sure Kelvin is turning right now Simon, you are such a friend” I commented,
“Don't take it out on him” Becky said, making me turn to face her.
“Well, who do I take it out on then?” I asked and went straight to the bathroom,
I knew I was being impossible but I was losing it. I could see myself going crazy each passing moment. I took a long shower. When I went back to my bedroom, Becky was there. She brought some food for me.
“You are eating, am not getting a no from you” she said. I sat next to her and began to eat.
“That went easier than I imagined” she said. I smiled at her.
“Thank you for taking care of me. This is hard for me, but I am glad I have you and Simon around” I said. Neither her nor Simon had left my side since the day Kelvin died. It's times like this that I realized I had good friends who loved and cared about me, unlike my own father.
“You don't have to thank me. We love you and want to see you better”, Becky responded. I briefly hugged her before going back to my food,
“A detective is coming tomorrow morning. Dad hired the best”, I told her. My father and I have never been close, but anything money could buy, he made sure I had it. If he said the detective was the best one, I sure knew he was.
“That's good. We need to get to the bottom of all this” Becky said, Despite what everyone said, she was the only other person who didn't think Kelvin killed himself
“Yeah, I swear I will kill the person myself when we catch him” I commented.
“And I will be doing that alongside you so we can get locked up together” Becky replied with a laugh. I joined in too,
“Gosh, it feels like forever since I last saw you smile” she commented.
“I love you”, I said, blowing her a kiss. She pretended to grasp it with her hand and pressed it to her lips, making us both burst out laughing…

Becky's POVI watched as Taylor fell asleep. I tucked her in and kissed her hair,She has been through so much this past week. I have always known Taylor to be strong, but this week, I saw her break apart,She was hurting, and I kept wishing there was something I could do to make her feel better. I was torn watching her cry herself to sleep every night. I tried my best to make her feel better, but nothing seemed to work. I was glad she was now okay and even agreed to eat. I switched off her bulb and left her room,I found Simon in the living room watching a movie,“Is she asleep?” He asked. I nodded“Yes, she is getting better. I mean she agreed to eat, and we joked about a few things”, I told him. Simon had been nothing but a good friend. He moved in with us briefly just to make sure Taylor was okay. He was such a selfless person. That's why I had this crazy crush on him.“I'm glad she is getting better” he said.“Yeah me too. Her Dad hired probably the world’s best detective, so I a

Lucas's POVI went through Kelvin’s file again. This wasn't possible, and it didn't make any sense, it was like he didn't exist, which was weird.I looked at my wristwatch. I was supposed to meet Taylor in an hour so she would take me to the Condo where Kelvin was found. In the meantime, I made a few calls trying to figure out what kind of person Kelvin Norman was. I had asked the team to do a background check on him but nothing came up, not even in the database. No person by the name Kelvin Norman existed. One thing I was certain about was that he was killed and whoever killed him was a pro,He made it look like Kelvin stabbed himself and I have seen a lot of weird stuff in my line of work but no one is stupid enough to kill themselves by stabbing their heart. It could have been anything, wrist cuts or gunshots, but stabbing your own heart? That was just stupid and thoughtless.I looked at the three well-known people in Kelvin’s life, which were his fiancé, His best friend, Simon and

Taylor’s POVBecky and I stayed in the living room as Simon and the detective talked in the backyard,“What do you think he is asking about?” Becky asked. She was just as curious as me.“I don't know. Becky, I just realized there is literally nothing I know about Kelvin”, I said,“How do you mean?” Becky asked,“I don't know where he is from, I don't know any of his friends except Simon. There is literally nothing I can do to help the detective to find the person that killed him. I feel so useless” I said with a sign. I should have had all the answers, but I didn't.Was I so self-centered that I never tried to find out more about the man I claimed to love?“Well, now that you mention it, none of us ever did. Kelvin never talked about himself, and even when he did, he didn't say much. I remember telling you how mysterious I thought he was when you first introduced me to him”, Becky pointed out,“Yeah, I remember” I answered. Just then, the detective and Simon walked in,“I will be taki

She reluctantly did, she looked scared and who wouldn't, I was in a very bad mood.“What day is it?” I asked, watching her keenly.“Friday” she answered, her eyes on the floor,“Are you pregnant?” I asked.“Donald, you know this isn't my fault. We did everything right, I don't know why…” I raised my hand to silence her.“You are the most useless gold digger I have ever seen, you don't even deserve to be married to me” I said. It was a privilege she was taking advantage of, and I needed her to know.“I'm giving you one month to get pregnant. If you don't, I am divorcing you and I swear you will walk away without a dime”, I warned,“Donald, you know I am trying to be good for you, I am trying, and I just love you” Cara began to cry ,but I know crocodile tears when I see them and these were definitely them.“It's my money you love, just

Taylor’s povThe detective and I reached France early. From there, we went straight to a little village called CABONA. Once we got there,We asked some towns people where to find Vincent Vincenzo, and they pointed to a huge farm house.Vincent’s ranch was highly guarded. My Dad has bodyguards, but this was nothing compared to that. Every corner I looked were two armed men pointing their guns at us,I was a little bit spooked. The detective noticed that and squeezed my hand slightly.The driver we had hired stopped the car just outside the ranch, he got out of the car and five men approached him,I didn't even hear what they were saying but in the next moment, the driver was shot right across the head, making me scream out,“Oh my God!” I cried. The detective buried my head in his chest,“It's okay” he said. My entire body was shaking. I had never felt this type of fear before,“They are going to kill us” I cried, holding him tightly.“Perhaps let me do the talking,” he suggested. Two

Lucas's POVTaylor locked the door and went to what I assumed was the bathroom, she came a moment later with a first aid kit, she sat next to me on the bed and began to clean my cut from the blow i received earlier“Am fine, it doesn't hurt” I Said, I found it uncomfortable when someone cares for me since I have never had that privilege of being cared for since I was young“I don't mind” she said. I looked at her face as she cleaned the wound, I must admit, Taylor was different. She seemed to surprise me every moment. Not everyone would have handed what happened this way, a man was shot right in front of her yet here she was, as if she wasn't scared to death. She was a lot different than what the internet painted her. I figured she was just unlucky because she was born from a rich well known Dad, she was different than any other billionaire I met or worked for before.“What are you thinking?” I asked,“What is all this?, Is Vincent some sort of prince or what?” She asked, I didn't kno

Donald Dante's POV“Ben, are you sure about that?” I asked after receiving the most important information from him.“Yes, she is fine” he said. I didn't feel at ease despite hearing that it was almost a week since my baby had entered Cabona, whose to say if Vincenzo had not killed her already,“What would you advise I do Ben?” I asked thoughtfully.“Wait it out. Perhaps Taylor is still alive” he said. That wasn't comforting.“And if she isn't?”“We will kill each and every one of them. Vincenzo is ruthless, but he is not stupid. I am sure he wouldn't want to start a war with you”, Ben said, no matter how comforting his words were. These people were Mafia lords, they feared no one, not even the law itself.My eyes drifted off to the CCTV footage,“Cara is leaving, let's follow her” I said, standing up. Usually, I wouldn't be present to catch her myself, but I was anxious about Taylor, any sort of distraction just not to worry was highly welcome.Ben drove one of the cars, and we follow

After Lucas and I were settled in, Vincent began“I'm sure you have a lot of questions so ask away” he said. I held Lucas’ hand, asking him to let me do the talking. He nodded.“Kelvin was your brother?” I asked.“Yes, we were born just the two of us. It has always been us since we were small boys”, Vincent said. He looked emotional, shaking his head.“How didn't you know he was dead?” I asked, for someone who was heavy on security, you would think he was upto date on everything since he had the means,“He was here to tell me he was getting married. He loved you very much, said you made him feel different” Vincent paused, wiping tears off his face.“He really loved you. He left a whole life behind just so he could be with you” he said. I felt my heart get heavy. Maybe Kelvin hid his real identity from me to keep me safe. That

It doesn't make sense that the Vincenzo brothers would die one after another in the space of a few weeks” I stated. When I found out Kelvin was killed the day he was planning to marry his other woman whom I knew was Donald Dante's daughter, I was so angry by his betrayal that the only thing that bothered was that he didn't die by my hand but with the recent turn of events, I was curious to know“Well, things are never really Fair” Dad commented, he wasn't taking this conversation as serious as I wanted him to“Dad, can you be serious for once?, You cut my hand and yet I decided to forgive you and even talk to you, the least you could do is take me serious” I complained,“You are sp

Let him die” Rose commented, it took everything in me not to jump at her, did she have to be this heartless“He saved my life.

Once he left the room, I was about to open the package when my phone rang, I reached for it and found Taylor was calling, I had been so busy that I wasn't able to take her earlier calls coupled with the fact that I was upset with her,I could imagine how worried she was after I missed so many of her calls so I decided to answer the call but immediately I pressed the button, my phone turned off, it was out of battery. I cursed in a low voice.My focus turned back to the package, I opened the little sealed bag and found a flash.

Donald was keeping a close look on me which I didn't like so while he was away, I promised myself to have the best time of my life.I had secretly arranged for a hotel room I was to meet Simon from without Ben knowing anything. I gave him the room number and instructed the receptionist to give him the keys.

My eyes wondered off to the wall clock as I realized it was already 7pm“Where is Faria?” I asked“In the backyard with the men. How are you feeling?, You passed out on me” Rose said. I tried to remember what had happened before I passed out but that only caused my head to hurt“I need to leave” I said,“Sure, I will see you tomorrow in court” Rose said.

I didn't know what was wrong with him but didn't like it one bit. He was accusing me of turning evil and not acting myself,I couldn't understand where that was coming from, the main goal here was to go home as soon as possible, it didn't matter what we did to ensure that anymore.In the back of the werehouse, we found a little boy with a woman who looked to be in her middle 20s,“That's his nanny” the man said, I nodded.
