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
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 PovWeddings are usually the best moments of any girl's life. I have been planning my own wedding since I was 5 years old. Don't get me wrong, I am not some sort of freak or anything, but I simply got lucky when i met my prince charming, Kelvin. He is every woman's dream man. He is rich, successful and treats me like the best thing that has ever happened to him.I knew the moment I met him that I was going to marry him, you could call it love at first sight, and I am finally going to marry him.“Taylor!” I was dragged out of my thoughts when I heard my best friend Becky's voice. “Am almost done!” I yelled back. Becky entered the room and looked at me in awe.“You look breathtaking” she commented, making me smile.“I didn't think it would fit this perfectly” I excitedly said. This was the only wedding dress I liked, but it didn't come in my size, so I had to wait for another handmade wedding dress from Japan which arrived at the very last minute.“Did Dad come?” I asked, the
Taylor’s povA 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. Kelvi
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
Donald Dante's POV“Call Cara here”, I told my bodyguard, who immediately left the room,A few minutes later, Cara entered the room,“Sit” I said to her. 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

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. 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,
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
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
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,“
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
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
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
