Taylor's POVIt took everything in me not to ask who killed Kelvin. From the look on Rose's face, she did know who it was but was angry it wasn't her.“Aggie, let me show you my room”, Rose said after composing herself. She now had a smile on her face,“Go with her, Aggie” Lord said. I reluctantly followed her to the top floor of the mansion where her room was located at the far end.Rose’s bedroom was the least good thing I expected about her. It was pink with a little black on various items. It looked like something straight out of a princess story, everything was neatly in place. I have to admit this was the best room in the entire house.“I bet you didn't expect me to be a pink girl” she said, as if reading my mind.“Actually I didn't” I admitted, even when I was young, I never had a girly room like this.“Make yourself comfortable” Rose said. I sat on the huge pink couch in the center of the room.“I would like to get to know you better”, Rose admitted, but I still couldn't figur
Lucas’s POVIt was getting dark. Taylor was yet to come back. I was getting worried each second that passed,She should be back now. I began to have various thoughts at the back of my mind about what might be happening to her.Just then, I heard a knock on the door and quickly rushed there hoping it would be Taylor, but when I opened the door, I was left disappointed to realize it was actually Stan,I began to wonder what he wanted here alone.“Where is Taylor?” I immediately asked.“Last time I heard, Rose and she were going on a little bonding trip” he answered with a smile.“What do you mean by that?” I asked, as if I felt more worried. One thing I had already noticed was that Lord wasn't the scary one, but his children were, especially Rose, who was insane enough to shoot someone dead in front
Taylor's POVThe man died a painful death. The nail pierced until it was visible at the back of his head,Rose seemed to be in a very good mood as she screamed in happiness, licking the blood off of her face,I found this more than horrifying, wondering if this girl was even normal. She was only 23. I began to wonder what kind of horrible person she would be by the time she reached her thirties.“That was so refreshing!” She said with a massive smile,She wiped her hands clean and gestured for us to leave.“Should I drop you off at your apartment?” She asked, since it was already 7pm. I agreed with her“Sure” I said. The ride back was a silent one. I couldn't get over what I just witnessed. I had only read and watched cruel people on TV but now that I was seeing what Rose was doing, I began to wonder ab
Taylor's POVLucas was quiet, he didn't even look at me or answer any of the questions I asked him. His attitude had me worried out of my mind, wondering what was going on. I decided we would stay at the hotel in case he wanted to talk and that wouldn't happen in the apartment because of the cameras.We got the same room we had previously been in, and I ordered some food for us. Lucas barely ate his food,When he was done showing, he laid on the bed his eyes closed, I knew he wasn't sleeping soi sat up next to him“Are you going to tell me what happened? I am losing my mind”, I said with a sign, Lucas avoided eye contact with me making stand up and begin walking around the room“I have never seen you like this, unless the little girl that died is somehow related to you or a ghost. Then I won't put up with your silence anymore” burst out, Lucas was still la
Lucas’s POV“You two are just on time” Lord said when we arrived at his place. Rose was sitting across from him and seemed to be busy on her phone,“Hey Rose” Taylor surprisingly greeted her. I wondered why she was suddenly nice to her when she hated her,Did the two bond the previous day or did I just miss something? Taylor was impossible to deal with right now. I admit I had been rude the previous day, but that was understandable, if that little girl didn't kill herself, I didn't even want to think about the disgusting things Stan would have made her do with me. While I was guilty that I was the one that showed her the gun, I couldn't stop stressing about what would have happened if there had been no gun.“So I will brief you more time in preparation for tomorrow”, Rose said. Standing up, she handed me and Taylor some documents,“
Lucas’s POV“Taylor!!” I yelled in panic, the nearest hospital was in town, which was quite far from where we were. I checked her breathing and could thankfully feel her pulse. I was worried sick. I should have noticed she wasn't feeling well.“Can you please call for an ambulance?!” I yelled.“It will be an hour before they come here” The woman who had opened the door for us said.“But my husband is a doctor” she quickly added, my attention turned to the husband practically begging him with my eyes.“You have to help us please” I pleaded. The man I assumed was the husband let out a sign.“Bring my medical supply bag right now” he said to his wife, who immediately rushed out.“Lay her on the couch” he instructed me. I did that with my hand holding Ta
Donald’s POV“Call Cara to my room”, I told Ben.“She isn't feeling too well and has been in bed for the past few days”, Ben explained. I gave him a deadly gaze. He knew I was aware of Cara being ill.“I am not planning on hitting her or anything”, I told him. I could see it was becoming difficult for him to pretend not to care about Cara. I may not be a forgiving man, but I had a lot of patience. I didn't want to let Ben know I knew everything going on between him and Cara. I was going to push all his buttons until he couldn't handle it anymore.Ben had been with me half of my life. He knew me more than anyone ever did. That's why it took me so long to accept his betrayal and even when I did, I continued to work with him, continued to pretend I trusted him just to see what he was actually planning,“I will call her then” he s
Cara's POVI stood at the front door as Donald and about 10 of his men where leaving, I wondered what was happening but didn't have the time to ask Ben as he appeared to be very busy.“I don't want to hear any reports of you not eating when I come back” Donald warned me before he entered his car“Is it okay if I ask where you are suddenly going?” I asked, I know I was trying my luck, Donald wouldn't even tell me the truth anyway but I still asked“Just take care of the baby” he said, I walked him to his car Hoping he would at least give me an insight but he only entered his car and opened the window“Take care of yourself and the baby” he said again, I nodded and watched as Ben drove him away followed by the many cars that had his men in.Immediately everyone had left, I grabbed my car keys and went away from home. I went to the nearest filling station where there was a payhone. I quickly made a call to Simon“Hello” he answered after a few rings“Hey, where are you?” I asked, “Home,
Taylor's POVDad slowly opened the door while I stood behind him,He peeped his head on the corridor but found it empty“There is no one” he said turning to me but in the next second, two gunshots were heard and he fell on the floor, I screamed out in horror as I rushed to him pulling him in closing the door behind“No, no, no please no” I cried as I held his bleeding shoulder“Call for help!” He yelled as he coughed out blood,I let out another scream my mind seemingly numb,“Dad, no, please Dad. You will be fine, you are okay right?” I cried as I frantically reached for my phone and made a call to the police,A loud bang was heard on the door startling me“Find somewhere safe to hide” Dad told me but I refused“Am not leaving you here” I cried. He was losing a lot of blood and I feared for the worst, when the banging at the door didn't stop, I got his gunMy hands were shaking and I was doing everything I could to ensure I didn't break down. Dad was lying in his own pool of blood wh
Taylor's POVI woke up only to find myself in a strange bedroom, I panicked remembering this was not my bedroom but then when I sat up, I knew exactly where I was, in Rose’s room alone.I immediately stood up, Rose walked out of the bathroom, she appeared to have been from taking a shower,“You are awake” she said. 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 left her room and went to backyard where I found Lord, some other people I didn't recognize and Lucas still drinking,Lucas seemed sober as he noticed me immediately I came, he stood up. I began to wonder where my Dad had gone“You are awake?” He asked walking over to me“Yes but am not feeling too well, can we leave?” I
Taylor’s POV“He has some visitors but you can join them” Rose said with a small smirk. I felt my body unable to move, how was dad here and did he tell Lord who I was,I found myself feeling anxious as a wave of fear washed over me“Honey, are you okay?” I was dragged out of my thoughts when Lucas asked this holding my hand,“Yeah” I answered. Dad and Lord seemed to have noticed our presence as they turned to us“The Johns, you are here!” Lord said gesturing to walk over to him which we did.“These are my lawyers. Faria and his wife Aggie” Lord introduced. My father and I shook hands pretending like this was the first time we were seeing each other“I am afraid I have some bad news for both of you” Lord began as we sat down, I knew he was about to tell us about Vincenzo. Was this the reason Dad came here?“Vincent Vincenzo was killed last night” Lord said. Both Lucas and I pretended to be surprised“Who killed him?” I asked“We don't know that for now. Excuse my manners. This is Donal
Taylor's POVLucas and I reached the location The general’s grandson was held,It was at a werehouse in the woods and was heavily guarded by Lord’s men “Where is the Boy?” I asked one of the guys who brought us here,“In here” he said leading the way, I followed without waiting for Lucas to catch up with us. 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. The woman kneeled down in front of me crying while holding the child“Please spare our life, we beg you” she cried,“Give us some privacy” I said to the bodyguard who nodded and left the room, I waited for Lucas to come before I began talking“We won't harm you
Lucas’ POV“Fine, take a cold shower” I told Taylor, I already know she is so stubborn and wouldn't agree with remaining behind so I decided to go with her. I went to the living room giving her some privacy while she took her shower. I have seen Various people react to expecting a baby but Taylor,I have never seen such an over-reaction before, she basically screamed the life out of herself and acted like her life had come to an end. While I understand she might have been shocked but the way she reacted was crazy, and to decide to abort immediately was even more crazy.I had never pictured myself being a father but I knew I would would one-day but Taylor, she acted like she had never considered the possibility of ever been a mother and maybe that was the case which justified her reaction but still, the whole issue was too dramatic.In the next hour, Taylor and I were at the doorstep of a man Vincent had told us about. We rang the doorbell and waited for a few minutes before he eventua
Taylor’s POVLucas's expression changed as he talked on the phone, I wondered what kind of upsetting news he received that had him looking like that.“Alright, I will be in contact to let you know a way to receive the information” Lucas said and quickly hung up the call“Vincent Vincenzo is dead” he said before I could ask him any questions“What?” I asked in horror“Kelvin’s brother?” I asked still in disbelief“Yes, someone killed him and branded him” Lucas explained, I sat up on the hospital bed“Branded him with what?” I asked“I don't know but him being branded is sort of a Mafia thing. Who ever killed him rans a Cartel and was sending a message” Lucas explained, I covered my palms remembering how heavily guarded Vincent was, who would manage to kill him?.“And am guessing it's not Lord and his gang” I said“No it isn't. I don't even know if Lord is aware of this” Lucas said with a sign, he sat next to me looking as dejected as I felt. “What should we do?” I asked after a moment
Cara's POVI stood at the front door as Donald and about 10 of his men where leaving, I wondered what was happening but didn't have the time to ask Ben as he appeared to be very busy.“I don't want to hear any reports of you not eating when I come back” Donald warned me before he entered his car“Is it okay if I ask where you are suddenly going?” I asked, I know I was trying my luck, Donald wouldn't even tell me the truth anyway but I still asked“Just take care of the baby” he said, I walked him to his car Hoping he would at least give me an insight but he only entered his car and opened the window“Take care of yourself and the baby” he said again, I nodded and watched as Ben drove him away followed by the many cars that had his men in.Immediately everyone had left, I grabbed my car keys and went away from home.
