Pregnant? Did she hear the maid right or was it just her imagination?"What did you just say?" She slowly stood, her face still pale."You're pregnant, ma'am. I can tell it's been a week. I'm really good at knowing these things. Congratulations, ma'am."Candy forgot how to use her mouth for a moment. Her face remained pale. The maid got worried."Ma'am, are you okay?" the maid inquired."You aren't kidding, right?!" Candy exclaimed, her face brightening up. Happiness surged through her system."No, ma'am. You are," the woman smiled. It was good to see her smile."Oh God!" Candy's eyes teared up as she palmed her lips. This was so unbelievable and unexpected. "I guess I'll have to confirm it at the hospital first."The maid nodded. "Yeah, you should see a doctor."Candy nodded but felt light-headed again, this time worse than before. Before she knew it, she was falling, and darkness blinded her.---"She is fine, it's just one of the signs."Candy heard the voice of the doctor as she s
The intense fight bloody fight have been going on for an hour. Slyvester might appear really strong, but when it comes to strategy, Griffin is a monster. "Argh!" Griffin yelled sending a kick to Slyvester's face. Slyvester fell to the ground, bleeding all over his face, which was unrecognizable. Griffin was bleeding too but not as much as him."Is that all you've got?!!" Griffin yelled.Slyvester stood again, attacking. He was getting weak, his bone aching from the constant attack. Griffin mostly dodge and barely attack, when he did, he went for the critical part that could weaken him.It was time for the final move.. Griffin drew out the small dagger he was hiding.Dona eyes widened at the sight of it. "Slyvester!" She yelled inwardly.Griffin swiftly slashed Slyvester tummy, the man eyes widened. He palm Slyvester's face and squeeze it. Their gaze interlock."Adios nitwit," Griffin grumbled. He then shove the blade into Slyvester's jaw. Blood poured out."Noo!!!" Dona yelled, with
Tension settled in the dark room as Diego tried his best to calm himself down. Bloodlust surged through every part of him, but for some reason, he wanted to hear something reasonable."It's not what you think," Aiden shook his head.The light suddenly turned on, and Aiden's face paled.Einstein and Jameson were now standing by the entrance. His eyes were on Jameson the most.This man was fuming in anger, even more than Diego."I can explain. I swear it's not what you think. I'm on your side!" Aiden exclaimed."You better give me a good explanation, Aiden. 'Cause I swear I'm gonna give you a slow, painful death," Jameson uttered through gritted teeth."It's a plan, okay? I'm trying to know what Griffin is up to. Back home when Griffin got out, he went for me immediately, holding my sister hostage. He took me as the weakest link in Diego's circle. I acted vulnerable just to let him think I'm a punk who needed to survive. After he released my sister, he kept talking to me, wanting to kno
Griffin removed the cigarette from his lips and puffed out the smoke in her face."You're offering yourself to me... nice." He suddenly pulled her waist close. Venessa gasped."You're supposed to be Diego's bride..." he nuzzled his nose on her neck. "You don't look bad. My mother must have chosen you for a reason."Venessa bit her lips at his touch; it was tempting."Are you accepting me then?" she asked."Not until you prove your worth," he said.Knowing what he meant, she stripped herself until she was naked. Her huge breasts made Griffin smirk. He palmed one, earning a slutty moan from her.Her body jolted when Griffin smacked her ass from behind. "Hm... not bad," he mumbled.Venessa's hand went for his trousers, pulling them down. Her gaze landed on his huge dick, veins running along it. He was hard and ready.She crouched down before him, taking his length into her mouth. As she pleasured him, her pussy was dripping wet with desire.'Fucking whore,' Griffin thought, taking a fist
A bomb?Diego stopped in his tracks immediately. Did Griffin really plan to use the whole clan to bring him down? What a psycho!"You!" Dona yelled from behind, shooting at Diego. The bullet barely missed him.With a cold look, Diego approached her quickly. She shot again, but Diego swiftly hit the gun away and grabbed her neck."Bitch, wake up. Aren't you Sylvester's wife? You accepted a fucking stranger as your Don, putting your whole clan in danger," he growled, then pushed her away, letting her go."Raise the alarm and ask your clan to evacuate. You'll all die if you stay."Dona's eyes widened at his words.Diego turned to leave, tapping on his earphone. "How many bombs, Aiden?" he asked."I don't know, but it's definitely not one. The building scan will be over soon and..." Aiden paused when a call came in. He picked up immediately. "The scan?""What the heck?! The scan is complete, and you won't believe this," the voice on the other side sounded."What?""There are bombs everywh
He found himself cornered with no way up or down. The building stood near a river; perhaps he could find an opening to escape that way...A door smashed open, and a huge guy stepped out—fucking huge. He was known as the beast of the clan. Mostly dumb and chained, he must have been released when the alarm sounded.His eyes moved towards Diego, and he grunted, killer instinct flashing in his gaze."You've got to be kidding me," Diego muttered. He pulled out a gun and a knife. "Let's get this over with.""Die!" The huge man roared and approached Diego. Diego did the same, dodging the arm that flew towards his face, while slashing one of his legs.With swift movement, Diego climbed to his neck and shot his vertebrae. He jumped down after killing the man in ten seconds.Another bomb sounded, the ground beneath Diego trembled and cracked open, but he was fast enough to hold onto the ground above him.His gaze moved below. People were burning alive. He even saw Dona... He looked up and tried
Candy gasped waking up from her sleep. It was like a strange feeling that suddenly surge through her. Diego? Her thought remind her and chest tighten. She sat up, her movement waking Yazmine sleeping beside her up."Candy," Her hoarse voice sounded. "You're okay?" She asked.Candy turned to her and swallowed. "Yaz.. I.." she paused but her lips."It's nothing," Candy said. "I just need to go to the restroom."Yazmine watch her stood and head towards the restroom. She sighed worriedly. Candy should be so happy and cheerful because she finally got what she wanted.. but..The person she need, is not right here with her."When is Mr. President coming back?" Yazmine gaze went to the window. "I hope they are okay."Minutes later, Candy came out drying her wet hair with a clean towel. She slowly sat beside Yazmine, her look was unreadable."You know what condition you are in right now. You shouldn't get yourself worried. It'll only hurt you and your child..." "Yaz," Candy called causing Ya
[GONZALEZ COOPERATION]Yazmine's eyes searched for a figure at the restaurant. She spotted Candy sitting alone with her system before her.Yazmine closed the system, and Candy gave her a questioning look."Don't overwork yourself," she said."I'm trying to cover up for those that are absent.""No, you're trying to distract yourself," Yazmine said. "What does the little one want to eat?" she asked, staring at Candy's stomach."You're going to expose me one day, Yaz," Candy shook her head, and they both chuckled."Did I miss something?" Jackie appeared in her suit looking hot, pretty, and professional."Damn girl. I don't think the men at work would focus," Yazmine laughed but got interrupted by her phone ringing. It was a strange number."Hello?" she answered. After a while, her eyes widened. "What?!"Candy and Jackie exchanged looks. Yazmine ended the call and looked at them."Jameson, Aiden, and Einstein are in prison," Yazmine broke the news, not believing it herself. Candy and Jack
"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
