I wished them the morning and sat down with my coffee" Good morning everyone "" Morning." They saidI finished my coffee and stood up to go to my college. I placed the cup and took my thingsMarco stopped me and touched my cheek gently." Are you okay?"" Yes I am fine, Marco." I replied with a smile" Not like I see, your cheeks are too red. Do you feel anything hurting you? Headache? Burning?" He asked" No nothing... Really nothing."He hugged me. I was caught by surprise, I hugged him back tightly. Ohh I was in need of this." You are forgiven." He whispered into my earI smiled and whispered a thank you then we broke the hug" Bye... I am leaving for college."I took a glance at Malik, hoping he would notice me or say something. He was just typing on his phone like I'm not here, as Peter waved to me.It's too much ignorance for me to handle. I waved back

After a long time, I will have a normal breakfast without any stressful thickness" Good morning everyone." I chirped as I sat down" Morning."

Peter's povI woke up, opened my eyes, and stretched a little. I looked to my side and found that my brother was still asleep. I checked the time, it's 9 am." Cole?" I said" Yeah." He opened his eyes and smiled at me, " Did you sleep well love?"" Yeah, no nightmares, and you?"" Like a baby, wanna take breakfast?"" Yep, please, a nice breakfast."" In your service Minion."I smiled at him then went to wash my face and hands. I got out of my bathroom, Cole still leaning on my bed checking his phone" Yeah, can I wake, Luke?" I asked" Yep, be nice." I nodded then walked to his roomI went into his room" Luca! Wake up Adorbs." I said softlyHe slightly opened his eyes and looked at me while smiling a bit" What a nice start to the day... Morning bro." He shifted a bit, making space for me" Do you sleep well?" I asked after kissing his cheek" Yup I did. What about you? Are you fine? If you want, we can have some great sleepovers in my room for as long as you want?" he asked me" Y
Luke's pov" Let me go." I said" Okay." He said simplyI looked from the window but there was no trace of her. He stood up and checked his men. He found out that 5 of our men died and 3 were injured." So perfect." He then took his phone and called Fred.He asked about Heaven and he told him that he dropped her in Chris' house.I looked at my arm and Malik called me. " To the car." He ordered" But Malik, she escaped! And why did you order me to drop the gun?! She could have harmed you! She wasn't weaponless! Why the heck would you risk yourself?!" I yelled at him aggressively" Lucas, I'm not a boss for nothing, she won't shoot me, her gun was empty, she wants something else and this attack is just a warning. Go to the car and do something to your arm." He said annoyed" Yeah, I'm the idiot one here. Very nice!"He just ignored me and pointed at the stairs. I huffed and walked to the car. I didn't enjoy the fact that I failed at catching her... And my brother, he is just like nothin
Luke's povI was waiting for them to come back. Malik's hiding something serious, I need to know what it is. I also have to tell Marco about the drinking thing that Ford told me.

Marco came with the dessert. We ate it, then he sat on his laptop too.Peter was in his room playing video games. I took the chance and informed Marco about the info that Ford gave me." What? And you didn't tell me?"" I thought it's unnecessary because I don't drink... Just rarely." He said" Dare to hide something else on me and you'll see."" Won't happen again, Cole."" Better for you to not."" And now I want t
Peter's pov" Go fuck yourself, you motherfucker." I mumbled as I got out of the houseWho are you to yell at me? Even Cole didn't do that!! I'm frustrated, ugh!" Hey, Alfred!" I greeted" Morning sir!" He said" I'm walking to the school, Can you put my keys in my room please?"" As you like, sir, may I walk with you?"" No, please, I want to be alone."" Fine."I smiled at him and wished him a good day then marched to Miles'. Hope opened the door with her wonderful smile like always" Hope." I said excitedly" Peter." She said backWe hugged each other" You are okay?"" Yeah, uhm can I come after school? I want a little help." I requested" Of course, anytime, I'm so happy to see you."" Me too."We hugged one more time then I heard:" Peter! You just missed her?" Levio said" No, I miss you too, workaholic." I saidHe hugged me and ruffled my hair" It's not by my choice, Pete."" I don't care."" Ugh, we don't like you being pissed on us, what does this poor man have to do so yo
Luke's povAfter dinner, I decided to call Heaven" Hey Heaven."" Hmm now you don't wanna hang up on me?"" I am so sorry Eve... I was not in a condition to talk."" If that is the case, then you are forgiven" Thanks... How was your exam?"" Awesome! What about you?"" Yeah, it was fine."We chatted for a while" Okay, see you bye."" Yep bye."I lay down on the bed in order to sleep but I couldn't. I twisted and turned. All the things were coming to my mind again and it was just getting so difficult. I messaged both Josh and Theo. The message wasn't delivered, They must be offline and asleep by now.Then, after a few minutes, I texted LandonL: HeyLan: Oh, you are up?L: Yes... It's not that late by the way.Lan: yeah, I know but you must be tired by now.L: I am tired but I am not sleepy... Why are you up this late?Lan: I was watching this daily drama with my grandma haha.L: Oh okay then carry onLan: Are you fine?I was caught by surprise by that question but answered it anywa
Luke's povI woke up at the sound of my alarm, I rubbed my eyes and stretched a little, I remembered my night and Heaven... It was like a dream!I took my phone and texted herL: I hope your morning is as bright and gorgeous as your smile.I got a call and it's her" Good morning, beautiful."" Good morning handsome, how did you sleep?" She asked" You don't even know how peaceful the night went. I slept like a baby... All thanks to you.""

Peter was still asleep. I
- THIRD PERSON - Marco got ready as Matilda came with his jacket. He looked at her and felt the worry which filled her blue eyes. He wore his jacket and she tidied the collar of it with her trembling hands and heavy breaths. He held her hands and kissed them warmly then he grabbed her head gently and rested his forehead on hers as they closed their eyes. " I'll be fine," he whispered " I will wait for you." she whispered back " I'll be back." " You have to, we have a life to live together." " I'll be back for that, for every promise, for every tear, for every breath, for every smile, for every moment we promised each other to live together." She nodded as her lips trembled. He brushed his lips on hers and got lost with their 'see you soon' kiss They pulled away and he caressed her cheek and she cupped his face staring into each other's eyes " Don't cry." " I won't, I'll take care of Peter and the others... You finish them and bring your father home." He smiled and she gave h
Luke's pov Finally, things are quite normal now. I finished college and went directly to the warehouse. Pete is staying for basketball with Miles so of course, Desty is there too and no point in going back to an empty home. I got in and made my casual path to my room crossing the main hall. I do have this assignment to work on. " Lucas! You got caught." I turned around, weirded by the voice. " What the fuck Lan?" I gave him a weird expression " Shh shut the fuck up... You came so early." He laughed " That was a fucking ass of a prank... I hope you know that." Lan laughed " I hope you know that cursing isn't allowed here... Especially towards an elder." I heard Emmett's dark voice from behind I visually freaked out from the voice I just heard. I don't want to see him but of course, I have to. I turned around sheepishly and nervously. " Good afternoon Sir, I am sorry Sir." I said timidly " You forgot how to talk to me?" He asked still with the same tone Oh, I know what he me
A week later™Marco's povI couldn't sleep this night either. I just slept 2 hours peacefully and the rest were like I'm just closing my eyes. I put my head on Matilda's chest as she wrapped it with her arms playing with my hair" Another night without sleep?" She asked softlyIt becomes so unfair to her that she couldn't sleep peacefully too because of my shifting the whole night" Yeah! I don't know but it's like something bad is going to happen."" Maybe yes but don't overthink about it Marc... It's okay... Let's fill ourselves with positive thoughts... Everything will be okay."" I hope so! I'll take a shower."" Why don't we go for a run then take a shower?"" Yeah sure." I said as I got up and kissed her then extended my hand to her, which she took and got up too.We wore our jogging outfit and went to the park. We ran there, talking about random stuff and joking.We did some sit ups and pushups and she felt like it's fun to sit on my back when I'm doing pushups. Matilda is not
Peter's pov Three days later™ I woke up in my bed as my phone buzzed. It's 5 am, I decided to have a walk with the dogs then go wake Luke or better annoy him. I went to the dogs' house, They were happy to see me as usual, I put on their leashes then went to Alfred's room He opened the door. " Morning, sir." " Ohh, morning Alfred." I hugged him," Happy that nothing happened to you." " Me too!" He hugged me back " But I feel a bit guilty as I wasn't with you when that attack happened... I would have protected you." " It's okay, how's Tatiana? Is the baby fine?" " Yeah, both are fine. This is the last month for her... God protect them." " Yeah, anyway, I'm going to walk the dogs, if you want anything tell me." " No, no, have a good time." " Thank you, bye." " Bye." I finished my walk, took the dogs back to their house, and fed them. Then watched Alfred taking care of the garden, an hour later he grabbed the newspaper and sat reading the news. 30 minutes later, one of the me
Luke's pov💥 Boom 💥" You heard this?" He asked as his eyes widened" Well, I did." I had my eyes widened too as I got up" Hurry up." He said as he rushed downstairsWe went downstairs together in a hurry to see what the noise was about. We found the TV lying on the ground lifelessly, looked at the broken TV pieces then at the two of them, back and forth.Marc took a deep breath to calm down. " I hope you have an explanation." Marc asked raising his eyebrowsAnd I hope these two make it out of here!" Okay it's Peter's fault." Dest said" Not mine... Hers."" You both aren't injured in any way, right?"Peter huffed as soon as he heard my question" Yes, we are." Dest said" Where?" I said as I approached to check them" I mean we are okay." Dest smiledPeter just rolled his eyes" Okay fine." I said nicely as I glanced at Pete" Now, how does this TV get broken, kids?" Marc askedI looked at them for the same answer too" It didn't require a genius to figure it out." Peter saidMar
Malik's pov I was making dinner when Matilda came into the kitchen. " Hey, Malik." " Hey, you come on time my savior, take care of the dinner Pete's lasagna is in the oven... I need to go on a date." I gave her the soup ladle with the grater " I'll take care of that, go get ready, she is in Heaven's house." She took them " Thank you, savior." I ran out of the kitchen I showered, dressed up, said goodbye to my brothers and Elda then walked to my house. I opened the garage revealing my cars and my precious motorcycle... It's been eons since the last time I used it... The last time I used it, it was when Dad had caught me racing in the street. He prevented me from using it. I put my helmet on and took an extra one for Diana. I bought some stuff for dinner then drove towards Heaven's house. She came out after I texted her. She was wearing a yellowish beige dress, reached under her knees with a black crop leather jacket, sneakers, and a simple double necklace. She was gorgeous as usu
Malik's pov I woke up as Peter yelled in my ear, " Wake up Nicoooo!" This kid, I'm gonna kill him. I did no reaction so he could do it again. Yes he did and I pinned him down. " This is your way to wake people, huh?" I smacked his butt lightly " Ahh leave me, it's not nice!!" He said wiggling in my grip " You started it little boy! So bear the consequences." I smirked, landing another light swat " Ohh Nico sorryy... I was just waking you up!!" He said with that innocent face Why does this kid have such power, huh? I can't resist anymore, I let go of him, let him feel that pleasure, I don't care... One can't deny this kid " What did they make for breakfast, baby bro?" " Ohh we are done with breakfast." He said simply " Whaaaaattt? No!!! What about me?" I looked at him horrified Not breakfast!!! " You kept sleeping... I was even going to call you before but you see Luca said to leave it first because you won't be late from the next time and it will serve you right, I still g
Malik's pov I was in my office working on some files when I got a call from Diana. I looked at the screen of my phone when I saw my reflection on it as a smile crossed my face. God! Flashback Landon was in Matilda's office. I hope this boy is fine. Let's ask her about my donut I knocked the door and she allowed me to get in " Hello Elda! I hope you are not bothering yourself." " I'm not! Anything to help you and Marc is a blessing for me." She said smiling I sat on the comfy chair as she said," Good that you are here to check on yourself." " No, no, I am here to ask about Lucas." " I can't tell you anything but Luke is fine and he is going to be better." " Happy to know that, what's wrong with Landon?" " Are you asking about Landon? Or about how Luke deals with the stress of his friend?" " Where are you leading this conversation to?" " Who's Luke for you Nicolas?" " He is my brother! I'm not here to have a session, Matilda." I stood up " Why don't you want to talk about
Matilda's pov I opened my eyes at the sight of my future husband's face. How God created such a beauty. I put my hand under my head, and stared at him... His features... His naked muscular chest... His innocence when he is asleep... Wow! " Stop staring!" I flinched at the sudden voice. He laughed still with his closed eyes and I glared at him. " You scared me." " Well-deserved! Seducing me from the morning won't end well." " Shut up." I blushed This stupid always making dirty comments... I will be lying if I say I hate them I looked at the clock. " Ohh shit!" I hurried out the bed " Hey, what's up?" Marco sat up, looking at me confused " The girls, we are going out in 20 minutes and I'm not ready now." He smirked. " Maybe if you slept early last night without so much insisting on making out... You won't be in a hurry." That's it... I took the nearest cushion and I threw it at him, then jumped and pressed it on his head " Sleep. Return to sleep". Let's don't kill him today
