Thank you for reading please leave me a gem in you're enjoying the story.
Liam “Was that the girl who used to follow you around a lot when we were younger?” Theo asks and I nod, as I take a turn on one of the corners. “That’s some messed up shit. She used to scare me a little.” He adds with a laugh and I join in. I didn’t want to leave Emily alone but the look on Theo’s face told me I had to be there for my best friend. Seeing your young sister resort to drugs isn’t the prettiest sight. After going back and forth I finally gave in but I insisted on having her at my Dad’s house. Diane has been my childhood friend and even though I wasn’t very open, she did a pretty excellent job at following me around everywhere. Her parents got killed by some thugs as they were taking a walk for fresh air. It’s a pretty sick history but after seeing how her uncle was bent on mistreating her and even raising his hand on her, I decided to talk to Dad so that we could live with her. Everyone assumed we would eventually date and have some pretty babies and I let them think
Liam “I’ll have detectives work on it right away. It does seem suspicious to me too.” I finally respond to the doctor. “We have so many enemies I can’t even start to think about who has been close enough to her these past days,” Theo says worriedly. Placing both my hands into my pockets, I sigh before responding as I think through clearly. We may have so many enemies but we also have very powerful security and it only takes someone close enough to pull that kind of stunt. Convinced, I turn to Theo. “Does she have security? The one who is always with her?” “Yeah, why?” He asks. “He needs to have the answers. We will sort it out. Dr., Will she be alright?” I ask and Theo tenses next to me probably afraid of what the answer might be but we need to know so we can find a way to help her. The Dr nods in agreement, “Within a few weeks she will be okay but we just hope it won’t turn out to be an addiction where she goes looking for relief.” He ends the statement and walks away. I gri
Liam “But are you sure about it?” Emily asks as we lay in bed. I sigh as I pull her close to me leaving a kiss on top of her head. “No baby, I’m not.” “Then why are you doing this and does Theo know?” Emily asks me as she throws her leg on top of mine. “Yes he does and he’s okay with it. I know your medical research can help her and frankly, I don’t trust anyone else right now.” She nods deep in her thoughts when the door opens revealing my two precious angels. “Daddy!” They shout in unison and I smile as I open my arms for them to jump on the bed. Emily touches her heart as if she’s hurt before gasping, “What about me?” “But we’ve been with you all day long Mummy,” Kayden says and I laugh. It’s always refreshing to hear what answer they have for every question. Sometimes I forget they have such high IQs that I still get shocked at their responses. As the twins climb onto the bed, giggling with excitement, I pull them into a warm hug, the last days have been so hectic that I
Emily “Thank you for doing this. I know she has been crazy to you and Nina.” Theo says to me which earns him a smirk from Liam. “Nina huh?” I whip my hair towards Liam’s direction as if trying to confirm what I just heard and he nods his head confirming what I’m thinking. “You two need to grow the hell up.” Theo spits while rolling his eyes. I smile as I pretend to gasp, “Nina? What are you doing here?” Theo who was busy working on his laptop almost drops it as he whips his head to see if Nina is actually at the door making us burst into a fit of laughter. “Oh, you didn’t!” Theo shouts as he charges towards me making me scream as I run to hide behind Liam. We’ve been so busy that we didn’t even realize that Katherine had walked in. Liam called me two nights ago to ask me to treat her instead of the hospital. I’ve managed to study and learn about natural herbs and if not for the mess Victoria put me through, the research institute would have been far by now. I've made great p
Theo I watch as Emily quickly drags out Liam leaving me with Nina all by ourselves. Nina is a beauty and I fell for her the moment that I laid my eyes on her during her book launch. When that fucker tried to make her uncomfortable, I lost it, and Liam and I have never spoken about it since that day. There is a quietness between us as she fidgets with her hands. She is wearing a beautiful dress that holds her curves with canvas and her black curls make her big brown eyes pop out. “I’m guessing she didn’t tell you?” I ask her and her cheeks flush a beautiful red making me smile. “No, and I’ll kill her for that.” She smiles and it sends my heart pounding. “Do you want me to drop you off at home?” I ask her because I don’t want to make her feel uncomfortable, especially with how unstable Kate is lately. “No, I didn’t mean it like that. Let’s make that tonic. Did she leave the instructions?” She asks as she places her purse on the couch and walks to what I assume is the kitchen but en
Emily “Daddy, what exactly are we going to do at your office?” Comes Kayden’s voice, I’m equally curious about why we are now driving to his office. After we had left Nina and Theo, we drove back home but Liam said I should stay put he was coming shortly only for me to see him coming downstairs with the twins in his arms and here we are. “There is something cool I’ve been wanting you guys to see but Daddy has been a little busy.” He says as he pulls into the parking lot in his VIP Section. “Are you serious?” Kayden asks with shock and I laugh at his use of words and expressions. Sometimes they behave as if they’re not only six years old. “Race you to Daddy’s office,” Hayden screams as he attempts to open the door but is met with childlock making me smile in triumph. “It’s locked silly.” Kayden slaps his small cute face as if to say it was obvious. They are wearing the same cute hoodies with blue denim over their black jeans and white sneakers. Joane is obsessed with dressing th
Emily The rest of the car ride is filled with silence as Liam drives us to our mystery destination. But it’s not the heavy kind of silence. It’s the kind where you both love the presence of each other such that you don’t want to ruin the moment by uttering a word. He reaches out for my hand while he drives with one hand. My eyes drift to our entwined fingers when my stomach turns from the reminder that I lost my wedding ring seven years ago. I can't help but feel a flutter of excitement in my stomach, wondering what surprise he has in store for me. I furrow my brows to show my confusion when the car spins around and we start driving back to the Lockhart building. “Have you changed your mind?” He chuckles a bit before responding, “No love. I got so blown away by your beauty that I forgot where we were supposed to go.” I’m confused but when he packs and he opens my door, I take his hand and follow him quietly. Soon we are at the rooftop when I see the helicopter waiting. "Are we...
Nina Do you believe in love at first sight? I do, and Theo did that to me. The day he saved me from that man who harassed me during my book launch made my feelings a million times more but the problem is that I couldn’t find him when the event was over. So, I had to go back home in the same car as that prick Diane. When Emily called that she needed help, I didn’t think I would walk into his house and now here we are except our little bubble didn’t last long because now we are standing awkwardly as an elderly woman stands with another woman my age glaring at me. “Is that all you can say!” She practically screams and after having my issues at my place, I can’t handle family drama so, I pull my hand away from Theo and pick up my bag but stop right where she’s standing and I turn to her, “Theo is going through so much right now and I might not know how you two are related, but I sure as hell know you don’t deserve him. Also, lower your voice. Kate is recovering and your screaming might
