As Candy stepped forward, Venessa's eyes widened like those of the moon. The look on Candy's face showed she was really going to do it, even her father couldn't help in this situation. Venessa did the best thing she could think of. "Stop, Candy," she went on her knee, her eyes tearing up. "Don't kill me!" Candy stopped in her tracks and frowned. What was Venessa doing? She didn't mind and continued stepping forward. This time, Mr. Henry stood before Candy, stopping her again. "Will you like to join her?" she asked coldly. "She said sorry," Mr. Henry said. "No, she didn't," Candy raised her brow. Mr. Henry swallowed then cast a glance over to Diego standing in the distance. The man had a blank look on his face with both of his hands casually tucked into his pockets. "You need to stop her," he said to Diego. "You should have stopped your daughter from saying shit about my wife. Should I handle her myself?" Diego asked. Mr. Henry immediately knew there was no way out. "M
"How's your sister? Was it serious?" Yazmine decided to start a conversation."She is getting better. The burn was only on her shoulder; it's going to leave a little scar.""How did she get trapped?""It was her Ex... she rejected him when he asked her back, so he decided to revenge. He's in police custody though I wish to deal with him myself. If I was around, then this wouldn't have happened," Aiden replied, clenching his jaw.Yazmine felt sad about the news. Aiden must be blaming himself, so she decided to change the topic."So where is your guitar?" she asked, and Aiden chuckled."I've almost forgotten you know literally 70% about me," Aiden said, gazing at her. They both smiled."Well, thanks for the company. I've finally gotten to know who you are," she muttered."Are you disappointed?" he asked, his voice calm and smooth."Disappointed? Of course not. Why would you think that way?" she asked."Well, remember the girl I told you I like at work?"Yazmine's smile dropped when she
Candy's face burned red, heat creeping up her cheek. The man had just introduced her! Before the whole company! Diego held her tiny waist and pulled her close. "Don't make her feel uncomfortable and treat my wife well." 'This is crazy!' Candy screamed inwardly. She tried pulling herself away from Diego, but the man drew her closer and stepped away from the employees with her. Jameson, who saw the scene, slowly turned and left the place. Candy literally kept her gaze throughout their way, with no idea of where the man was leading her to. As Diego shut Candy's office door, he looked down at the little woman, whose cheeks were burning red. "Are you okay? You're all red," he stated, snapping her back to reality. "Huh?" She looked up at him and blinked. "I'm... I'm fine." Composing herself, she shot a glare at him. "What was that?" "What?" "I told you I'm not ready," she said. The man's calm face turned back to a cold one. "What do you mean, not ready?" "You haven't given me an
[PARK.. 6:00PM]Diego stood before the amusement park, with its whirling rides and colorful lights. This was the place she wanted for her first date with him. However, when he saw the excitement in her eyes, he decided that no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he would not let it dampen her enthusiasm.She suddenly turned her head to him, and he quickly mustered up a smile. Her face dropped."You don't like it here?" Candy asked."If this is what you want, then fine," he muttered."I've wanted to visit this place for a long time. My father promised to bring me here but never had the chance to fulfill it. My stepmother brought me here with Jackie and made me watch her have all the fun while I craved below.""That was one of the wishes you once told me about, right?" he asked."Hm, if you don't like it here, then let's leave," she turned to leave, but the man held her back."I never said that. Let's try everything here," he said.Candy smirked. "I was going to force you even if you didn
Slamming the door behind her, Diego roughly pinned Candy against the wall, his demanding lips moving against hers in hunger. Her taste drove him crazy, and fuck! He missed her. He missed every inch of her. He knew she felt the same, judging from how she pulled his head close.They were both dripping wet from the hard rain. Only he knew how hard he had held himself during the short drive home.Diego's calloused hand trailed down to her fine round ass, groping it hard as he lifted her up to himself.Candy's hard, erect nipples pressed against his chest, her legs snaked around his torso, and their lips remained dangerously molded together, neither wanting to stop.'I love you'—those words rang in Candy's head over and over. The more she thought about the man being hers now, the more she wanted him. She missed being crushed and explored by him.As he carried her, Diego gently walked up to the bedroom and headed straight to the shower. Without breaking the kiss, he turned on the shower. A
On the next morning, Jameson woke up with a throbbing head. A frown settled on his face as he realized he wasn't in his room."Sleepyhead," a voice sounded beside him, and he jerked, seeing Yazmine seated before the mirror in the room."What? How did I get here?" he mumbled."You were drunk, you got a random lady pregnant, and I was called saying you killed someone.""What!!" Jameson exclaimed."Ha... just kidding. You got drunk, and I brought you home," Yazmine cleared his panic. "Why did you drink?""Drink... uh... I just felt like drinking."Yazmine folded her arms. "It's because of Candy." Jameson's eyes widened."Was I saying weird stuff last night?"Yazmine raised her brow, and Jameson sighed. 'Fuck,' he cursed in his head. He remembered how he tried to suppress whatever feeling was burning him up, bottle after bottle, until he lost his senses."Just forget whatever I said. I didn't mean anything last night...""You don't?" Yazmine cut him off with a question. Remembering someth
At Diego's first step, the guy's eyes widened as the deadly warning rang in his head. "The last person I fist fought with didn't leave the hospital alive."In the next moment, Diego was standing before him, his gaze sending a chill down his spine, a gaze that showed he was damn serious about what he said. This devil hadn't started, and yet the guy was already sweating profusely."Hit me," Diego demanded in a low voice. The trembling guy swallowed hard."Uhm... hmm," his words seemed to be caught in his throat. Out of fear, fluid poured out beneath him."What the fuck?" One of the crowd's eyes widened."What's he doing? Is he crazy?...""This is so embarrassing..."Others in the club murmured among each other. The guy before Diego became confused. Just then, he looked down at his pants and realized why they were all staring.He had peed in his pants. "Oh fuck," he cursed inwardly and then looked back up at Diego, who smirked."Okay, sorry man... fuck, you're so scary. I was just playin
"What a strange aura," Yazmine said, scanning the place. It was a building in a restricted area.Stepping into a room, they found a man sitting at the end of the wall before them. There were also five men in the room, all with dark intentions written on their faces."I don't feel good about this," Yazmine muttered, her face calm, same as Candy and Aiden.The seated man's lips curved into a dark smile, his eyes screamed dangerous motives, but this didn't scare the three."I was beginning to think you wouldn't show up. Have a seat," the man demanded lightly, and the three did.Candy's eyes darted around the room as Yazmine began her discussion with the man."Taking the Gonzalez's resources is out of line, Mr. Leo," Yazmine spoke first."The Gonzalez was the first to steal what's ours. It's fair now," the man smirked."We won fair and square.""Hmm... it seems your president is beginning to lose his capabilities. Stealing what is his, I never thought it would be that easy..."Meanwhile,
"I love you so much, Mom. I wish to kiss your cheek right now," Alex said."Sure, baby, come," Candy said.The two boys came running towards her. They kissed each side of her cheek, and Diego sighed."You shouldn't talk or stand while eating," Diego stated."We wanted to kiss our mother. Is that a wrong thing to do, Father?" Andrew asked."I know what you're doing," Diego raised a brow."She is our mother," Alex said from behind."I can take her out on a vacation like I did last time," Diego said, warning dripping from his tone. He seemed to have won again since the boys didn't know what to say."Di," Candy called, seeing the boys' sad look."They are pretending," Diego knew these two devils better than Candy... they were practically him."Di," Candy called again."Fine... I'm not taking only her. Actually, we are all going on a vacation," Diego stated, and the boys squealed with joy.Candy took Andrew onto her lap while Diego took Alex, and they began to feed them.Old Mavis smiled.
Twins?Shock registered on Diego's face; of course, he wasn't expecting it."What did they say?" Candy's weak voice brought back his attention. She couldn't hear them earlier due to exhaustion."Bring them over," he demanded from the nurses, and the two boys were handed carefully to him. His eyes teared up as he stared at the two blessings.This was his first time holding children—they were his. Never had he thought a day like this would actually come."W...we have twins," his voice trembled with excitement. "And they are both boys," he laughed lightly.Candy chuckled, her weak hand reaching to touch each of them. They looked a lot like Diego—so beautiful.____Jameson was scrolling through Yazmine and Aiden's wedding pictures. Those two looked so good together.Aiden had quit being a secret agent for his bride's safety. At the moment, they were on their honeymoon.Remembering something, he pulled a long face. He hadn't seen her today, even at lunch—just how busy could she be all day?
The next day, Jameson and the others were admitted to the hospital to tend to their wounds.Aiden was chatting with Blake when Yazmine appeared."Yaz!" he exclaimed, standing up."Aiden!" Yazmine ran to hug him tightly. Aiden did the same, kissing her neck."That jerk has a girlfriend," Blake muttered. His phone beeped; it was time for him to leave. He gave Aiden one last look and left."Did you miss me that much?" Aiden asked as Yazmine continued to hug him tightly."You have no idea," Yazmine mumbled. "I was so scared when I heard about the bomb. Are you hurt?" she asked, looking up at him."Just a little...""Huh? Where? Let me see," she demanded, checking out his body."Yaz, I'm fine," he assured her, but she refused to listen. Aiden pecked her lips, and she froze."I'm fine," he said again, tucking her loose hair behind her ear. His eyes caught a figure in the distance, and his movement paused.Yazmine traced his gaze and found Jameson. His arm was wrapped in bandages, same as hi
Vincent roughly made his way to Hannah's ward. He was a mess, lean and dirty to look at. The man appeared as someone who had lost his world.Opening the door, he staggered in but then frowned, seeing Hannah lying on the floor.He took slow steps approaching her."Hannah?" He called lightly but didn't get any movement from her. "Honey, why are you sleeping on the floor?" He asked, shaking her body.His eyes darted around the room after perceiving a strange scent. His eyes caught a strange container on the table. With slow movement, he reached for it and gasped when he saw what it contained.Poison..."No... no," Vincent shook his head. His eyes caught a paper too, and he took it to read.'It's all my fault. I destroyed the family I had dreamt of, and I hate myself for it. I'm so sorry.'"What? Hannah, no, no... please, you can't do this, no!" Vincent yelled, holding Hannah's body to himself. Tears rolled down his face uncontrollably."Hannah, wake up! What am I supposed to do without
A bucket of water was poured on his face, prompting his heavy eyes to open. He found Phoenix tied before him too."You didn't find the others?" Noah asked."Not yet... the search is still going on," the built man behind him replied. He was the one who had captured Jameson.Noah returned his gaze to the two and smiled. "Where are the rest of you?""In your ass. You'll need to use your dick as glasses to see them," Jameson's reply almost made Phoenix burst into laughter.Noah stepped forward and punched Jameson in the face, bursting his lips."Gosh, you're so annoying," Noah grumbled. "Bring in the torture equipment. This is going to be interesting."Just then, a figure dressed like one of Noah's men stepped in. His face was covered as he pushed a table forward. Various dangerous instruments for torture were arranged on it.Noah smirked at the sight but failed to notice the dangerous gaze of the man who had just stepped in.Jameson's eyes remained on him. His aura was familiar."Begin.
The men in the room literally choked on their saliva and began to cough. Candy's face turned pale and red. This would be the first time hearing that walking could affect pregnancy. "No, no it doesn't," she shook her head vehemently. She couldn't imagine Diego carrying her all around the house. "Don't worry, wife. I'm strong enough to do that every single day," he replied. "Huh? No, you don't have to. I'm fine." Diego didn't listen as he led her back to the room, placing her gently on the bed. "Wait here, I'll get something to eat," he kissed her forehead and left. Candy's mouth stayed open. Gosh! He is so adorable. She laughed lightly at his reaction seconds ago; it was so cute. Diego came back after some minutes, an alluring meal laid on the tray he was holding. "The chef made this," he stated. "Wow, it looks so good," Candy squealed, smiling like a kid. "Thanks, hubby." "I love your smile so much." His face turned worried again. "Have you gone to the hospital?" "Yeah, I did
Venessa held her red cheek and shot a glare at Yazmine. "Here is a drink, ex-boss," Jackie said, spilling the water in her hand on Venessa's dress. "You!" Venessa yelled at them as she stepped forward with a glare. "Girl, don't even try what's inside that birdbrain of yours 'cause you'll surely regret it when I shove my heels into your mouth," Yazmine warned, her voice cold as hell. "You're just sad, and trust me, you haven't seen enough. I'll pay you back for what you did to me. We're just getting started," Venessa glared. Yazmine didn't reply. Not that she didn't know what to say, she just didn't want to waste precious saliva because of the dumbass. "You can take the remaining drink," Jackie said, dropping the bottle on the floor before following Yazmine. Yazmine took a deep breath in frustration after driving away from the company, with Jackie seated by her side. "I have no idea what I'm doing," she muttered. "We should find Candy first," Jackie suggested. "Yeah,
Candy stayed frozen, her eyes staring at him for an immeasurable amount of time. It's not a dream, right? Her Di is standing right before her! She reached for his face with her hand, afraid he would disappear."Di? I... it's really you," Candy's voice croaked as another round of tears streamed down her face. Her heart burned within with the fear of losing him again.Diego held her face and smiled painfully. Gosh, he must have scared his wife, and he hated it. He is back, and this time, he'll never leave her side. He'll take down those fools that caused this... in a gruesome way.But first, he needed to soothe his wife's heart. That was why he came for her face."It's me," he whispered in the most gentle voice ever."I missed you," she said, wrapping her arms around him, inhaling the scent she missed so much. "I missed you so much, Di... don't ever do that again. I'm so mad at you and at the same time glad... I love you so much, Di. Please stay safe and...""Shh," Diego ran his fingers
Not too far away, there was another building. At the top was Vincent with a telescope. When the building exploded, he gasped and shifted back. He actually saw the two familiar figures at the building window and was shocked to see Romeo and Diego.Diego was now in the river, drowning, while his younger brother... his brother... was dead.There were five of them watching, but he was the only one who saw it.Shock etched every part of his face. A hand held his shoulder."Mister, we have to leave now. Our work here is done," a voice said behind him. Hearing no reply from Vincent, he frowned. "Is there something wrong?" he asked suspiciously.Vincent snapped back to reality and shook his head vehemently. "Nothing, of course," he breathed out."Let's go. The military and firefighters have arrived."Well, since Diego is drowning, he shouldn't worry, right? There's no need to tell Griffin about it.But still, he couldn't shake off the feeling of losing his only brother...____At the hospital
