The investigation was not finished yet, so Kook couldn’t do anything. He needed to wait until the stupid investigation was done, that way he could bring her back home to the State. Kook also had to face Marco because his father asked him to permit him to see her.
Kook told him to came in the evening, because then the DEA wouldn’t show up out of the blue. He was surprised when Greg suddenly visited Jilly. Nobody was telling him about what happened until Greg told him himself. Jilly was found shot in the chest at the suspected transaction site. So, they were investigating the gun which was close to her and literally next to her.
Kook hadn’t had the time to checked on Cayne and his whereabouts. He was too worried about his sister to worry about someone else, not even his girlfriend.
“Hello.” Marco’s voice brought him back, then he blinked his eyes a couple of times before looking up at hi

Kook went to the hospital by himself to checked on Jilly’s condition. He went since the morning. Cayne was begging Kook to let him came along secretly, but Kook was not going to risk what his sister had done.“How is she?” Kook asked the doctor who was responsible for taking care of Jilly. Today was the decision day about Jilly.“There’s no changes and improvement that she made. I’m sorry, but your sister is in a coma.” The doctor declared and Kook felt like his heart dropped freely. This was what he feared the most after meeting her and after he knew what she did for a living. “Excuse me,” he excused himself and left.Kook took a seat on the waiting chair and dropped his head on his hands. His first thought was to call their parents, so he did. He called his father and failed at the first attempt, so he tried again and failed again. He promised himself if he won&rsqu
Agent Greg had confirmed that Jilly’s case was just an accident. They dropped the Jilly case and the drugs case came to a dead end. Everyone was glad, especially Cayne. He immediately went to the hospital to visit Jilly as soon as Kook ended the call with him. So, the hospital was now crowded. The Jaelane and the Bakerhubb were both present along with Cayne and Leira.Her doctor entered the room and was surprised to see so many people in her room. He was going to check on her, but he couldn’t do it with too many people in the room.“Can I ask everyone to leave? I need the room cleared to check on her.” The doctor asked everyone. The one who understood easily left right away, but that was not the case with Cayne and Marco. They stubbornly didn’t move their legs to leave the room.“Don’t make me drag you out, Cayne, Marco.” Kook said to them sternly. He really did dragged the
“This kind of case was never successful. The baby won’t survive if the mother wouldn’t wake up soon.” The doctor who helped running the CT scan said to her doctor.“I know.” Her doctor agreed but he was worried about something. It’s the Jaelane he was facing and if he did something wrong just a little, his career would be over right at that second. “My head is spinning.”“Don’t be too hard, just hope that she will wake up soon.” The other doctor patted his back in a comforting way. He got his worries.“Come help me bring her back to her room, everyone is waiting.” Her doctor asked for help.They brought her back to her room and as he expected, every one of them was still there except for the other parents.&nbs
“What are you doing here?” Marcus was surprised to found Cayne stood in front of his office in one of his businesses in the State, close by where Jilly lived. The Jaelane moved to live in the State after Jilly was moved. So, Marcus worked flexibly and he would be where the business needed him to be.“You need to come to the hospital right now,” Cayne told him in urgency.“Why?” Marcus asked first. He didn’t want to panic out of nothing, he was always one to kept his composure.“Her parents came and found out about her being pregnant in this state. They demand an abortion.” Cayne explained briefly to him. Marco and Mariah had arrived at the hospital now and they tried to reach Marcus, but none of them couldn’t. So, Cayne voluntarily came to where Marcus was at the moment. Of course, it was after Mariah told him about her husband's whereabouts.
Seven months and the baby was still going strong in Jilly’s stomach. But, her doctor advised the family to do a C-section to deliver the baby because he doubted the baby could make it to full term, and with Jilly still in a coma, she couldn’t deliver the baby naturally. It was either that or the baby won’t make it at all. Her doctor believed that the baby had a chance to live if a C-section was to be performed. The baby would be pre-mature but had a chance to live.The decision was to be made today as Cayne and the family gathered at the hospital to discussed it. But from the Jaelane view, Cayne had the right to make the final decision because he was the father of the baby in Jilly’s stomach.Cayne arrived late to the hospital and he had a reason.“What took you so long?” Kook asked him as soon as he walked into Jilly’s room. He hoped that Cayne didn’t chicken out and decided to leave, he would definitely beat the
Cayne sat on the chair beside Jilly’s bed. She still laid on the bed with eyes closed and machines attached to her body. It had been a year and a half, their baby would be ten months old.“When will you wake up, Jilly?” Cayne held her hand as he asked her, begged her to wake up every other day. Her doctor said that her brain cells started to functioning slowly and it does make a change in her. The doctor said it was because of the people around her who always accompanied her and never gave up on her through this condition.“Didn’t you say to see me soon? I’m still waiting for that day to come. You’ve sacrificed so much, I can’t lose you now. You will need to see our baby no matter what, Jilly.” Cayne kept on talking to her and it was a way to communicate with her.Cayne excused himself to her to left the hospital because he had to come to his job. But he didn’t
Cayne was in her room while holding their daughter in his arms. She was secured in his father's embraced. It almost hit two years and Cayne never once tired of coming to the hospital. He wouldn’t miss a day to come unless he had worked out of the city or country. As of today, their daughter could crawl. Cayne let her play in her mother’s room and sometimes Cayne would let her slept next to Jilly. She looked so much like him but her smile, and every time she smiled, Cayne felt sad because he could see that in the mother. How he missed that. “Do you want to sit next to Mama?” Cayne asked her daughter as he made her faced Jilly. “Ma—ma,” she spoke with her hand in her mouth and then nodded. So, Cayne carefully sat her next to Jilly. He made sure not to let their daughter touch or sit on any wire attached to her. “Do you miss Mama, baby?” He asked again to their daughter who was now busy touching
Jilly had found their location and it was a bit odd because the location was in the coastal area. There was no call or message after Cayne called, which was even weirder. It was the first time she handle this kind of kidnapping. They went silent with no clue at all. So, she decided to handle this lightly and go with Marco, just the two of them.“Do you have friends in this area, Jilly?” Marco asked. They have reached their destination in the coastal area.“Not that I recall,” she said and sigh out of uncomfortable. “I don’t like meeting like this.”“Then, do you want to go back around and make a plan?” He raised his eyebrow in question.“That is a waste of the trip and I need to get my daughter fast. I would have made a plan and taken my time if it was only him getting kidnap but Grace was also with him. A kid would have trauma when experiencing bad things they remember,” she said seriously. After being a mother, she considered a lot of things.“Kidnapping has not been this easy and s
Jilly, Mariah, and Marcus were waiting for Marco for dinner. While Jilly was enjoying Mariah’s angst, Marcus was stiffly sitting on his seat afraid of her outburst. When he first got home, Mariah was giving him an earful about guiding Marco the right way. Right there and then, he knew Jilly must have been talking about Marco and told her everything he try to hide from her. He didn’t want her to find out for a reason, because he doesn’t want to stress her out about him.Marcus was tapping his finger on the table and shaking his foot in the air under the table. Jilly turned to look at him who looked unknowingly unconscious, she smirk at him. Marcus caught her smirking at him from his sightline and then he glare at her for putting him in this position.“Are you happy now, Julliane? Are we your laughing stock?” Jilly pouted to Marcus for being so mean to her. Her mood had livened up because of them, she admitted that.“Marco are, not you. But, if you feel that way then I’ll be grateful.”
Jilly was waiting at the airport for her baby's arrival from New York. She missed her badly and couldn’t wait to hold her in her arms. She was waiting by herself in the lounge of the private airport. She furiously typed on her phone, answering to many emails which were waiting for her response.“The plane is landing, Ma’am,” a staff informed her as the jet was on its way down. She put her phone down and thanked him before looking outside where she saw the jet going down. She stood up and walk out to greet her right off the jet. She was standing at a safe distance waiting for the engine to die down.She was excited to greet her under the stair but when she saw Mark walking out on his own, she got confused. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow, silently asking him where her daughter was. When Mark got down and before she could scold him, another person appeared in the doorway. She saw Cayne along with Grace standing there ready to make their way down the stairs.“What are you doing?”
Luca came back to Jilly’s spot along with Lyan which confused her. They waited for Jilly to be done with her session because it was her right to have the time. The three men stood behind her as they wait, Marco was kind of in an awkward position there. Nobody was talking and beside him was Lyan Bargin, a former enemy unofficial line.Seeing Jilly was done with her session, Marco came forward to help her with the boy. He took the bow from her so she could talk comfortably with her guest.“I thought you were going to give me a tour? I reserved a solo, not a group.” She glanced at Lyan who come unexpectedly.“My apologize, Miss. Vantes. Mr. Bargin wants to see you in person.” He pointed at Lyan who still silently standing next to him. Jilly looked at him with a sinister look and ask what he want from her this time.“Do you like the archery place?” Lyan stepped forward to finally talk to her. While she was here, he wanted to impress her, and maybe that could change her mind. “I’ll give yo
While her daughter was out of the country, Jilly tried to do something she had never done in a long time. She even drove out of the town to find the perfect shooting range, not guns but archery. She tried it once, so she wanted to give her skill a try after a long time.“Welcome to the WiArchery,” a male worker greeted Jilly as she approach the front desk. The archery range was huge and in a winery field, so that combination was what attract the shooters to come. Everyone could come but amateur beginner was not recommended since the range was prepared for someone who knows archery at least the intermediate level.“I called yesterday, thank you for making a slot for me.” Jilly shook hands with him. She knew the reputation of this archery range, they didn’t take sudden or on-the-spot customers.“We don’t usually do this but since you said you don’t have much spare time, we took you into our available spot.”“It was very much appreciated,” she replied.“This way, I’ll lead you to the sto
Around lunchtime Kook finally brought Grace to meet his father. She spent the entire morning with him and Katherine. She took care of Grace wholeheartedly, he love seeing that but to have a child of their own, he didn’t think he was ready enough for that. That topic never came up in their conversation or life nor did someone ask about it to them. They had lived live comfortably and would continue to do so.Since the bar was not an appropriate place for them to meet, Kook actually didn’t tell Cayne that Grace was coming but he did ask Lincoln if Cayne was home. He said that he barely come outside during daylight. He also came out only to the bar which was at night. Kook didn’t know what kind of lifestyle he was doing but he better does good for Grace.Kook knocked on the front door of his house and waited for him to open up.Cayne opened the door and was totally shocked when he saw Kook standing there with Grace and also Mark with them. Cayne was literally just woke and still have diff
Today was the day Jilly going to send Grace off to the State to meet her father. This was her way of not cutting off their relationship but meeting him again in person, she was not ready yet. She would need more time for herself. A month was definitely not enough.“Kook will be on standby the moment you get off the jet. So, make sure to keep my daughter’s safe. That’s the only thing I ask from you, Mark.” Jilly had trusted Mark ever since they work alongside him, so she ask him for a favor comfortably based on trust.“I understand, Jilly,” Mark assured her that she would need no worry. He would put his life on the line for Grace. Grace was a baby everyone in the family cherish, so no harm should come to her.“Thank you.” After thanking him, she goes to get her daughter who was still occupied with her toys. She was in the living while Jilly talk to Mark in the kitchen. She bend down and picked her up from the ground. “Are you ready to go, My Grace?”“Yes,” she replied in her baby voice
“What are you doing keep coming here, Leira?” The house was not so crowded anymore. It had been a month since everyone left. The only visitors she had lately were neither her family nor Leira. She would visit with Marco at times but in the last few days ago, she had been visiting alone.“Taking care of Grace. She likes me,” she replied while playing with Grace.“So?” Jilly brought the breakfast she had just made to the living room where the two were playing. She put the plate down on the coffee table and sit down. “I don’t know about you, Leira, but I called Marco to come here to take care of your problem. Understand?”“Jilly.” She turn to her and raised an eyebrow. “Marco, he has been busy.”“I understand, that’s his job as an heir of the don. You get a bit of the life we’re living in, right? Giving service is not that much different from what he did.” Both heads turned to the front door when they heard the doorbell.Jilly got up from the ground and walk up to the door. She knew it w
“Do you even know what family means?” Marcus stared at Cayne. Marcus valued his family the most in this world and he would die for them, it had been his life’s motto. “It’s not just about to be together with them. You have to know what you want to do with them. From what I see until now, your life is extremely the opposite of what people live. Is that how you want to be living every day?”“Okay, we’ll take care of that ourselves.”“Julliane seems to be sick of it. Didn’t you hear?” He was referring to the earlier event. “What about you, Rachel?”Marcus was just asking her when the door was being knocked on, so he let them in. He saw it was one of his men. “What?”“Fran is here to see you,” he said and Marcus look at him with a raised eyebrow.“Does he mention anything?” He found it weird that his right-hand man wanted to see him without telling him beforehand. The guy shook his head to answer his question. “Let him in.”The man leave and Marcus was in his own world to find a reason wh
