Diamond’s POV

Again I was too stunned to speak.

Things were moving too fast. All that had happened so far were not supposed to happen.

The plan was to come to New York, have the surgery while ignoring Lennox and my past life here and go back when the surgery was over.

But even I knew that deep down it was impossible for that to happen.

I couldn’t have dinner with Lennox and worse with Karl there. Lately, a lot of things Lennox had suggested did not go down well with me but somehow I always succumbed.

I couldn’t accept the offer, it would make things too complicated and send the wrong message to whomever was watching. So I reiterated again that his offer wasn’t something I was okay with.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea Lennox.”

“C’mon Diamond, it will be good for you.”

He had seemed to know what was good and not good for me lately.

“It’s late, I have to get going.”

I brushed off his protest and he blocked my way as I tried to move.

Why is she surprised? The school is where Lennox & Agatha’s daughter attends. Did she think it wouldn’t happen? For a well know surgeon, she seems quite naive, as well as playing with fire.

    Chapter 38Diamond’s POVI was surprised to see Agatha. I had purposely delayed my meeting in the Dean’s office because I wanted to avoid any chance that I could bump into her. I had a feeling she would be dropping off her daughter at school since Lennox would be at the hospital for a quick morning shift before our session with the professor. But I was wrong, it seemed wasting time had even increased my chances of seeing her. It took a while before Agatha saw me too and when she did, she mustered the most daring glare she could. It was almost as if we had a stare down contest going on. This gave me an opportunity to properly access her and I’m sure she did the same too.From what I could see, Agatha didn’t look like she was happy. There was this sullen aura around her in comparison to that which her daughter emanated and the surrounding too. It felt as if she was at the brink of unleashing hell on anyone who crossed her path. And I thought to myself that I wasn’t going to

    Diamond’s POV Agatha’s face had turned bright red. She looked like any moment from now she could explode. Ignoring Lennox’s call, I turned off the phone and placed it back into my pocket as Agatha’s eyes followed my every move.What a perfect time for Lennox to call.Just a few more minutes and I would have been done with this conversation.I sighed and I shook my head.I looked back at her as she stared at the space the phone had been in, fuming.Slowly she looked up at me. Her eyes said things that couldn’t be passed across with words.I opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off.“How dare you Diamond?”, the disgust was evident in her tone.For some reason, the thought that passed through my mind was ‘now you know how it feels’, even though I wasn’t having an affair with Lennox.She continued speaking, raising her voice.“Are you trying to snatch my husband away from me?”I raised a brow as though I hadn’t heard right.“You want to take Lennox away from his family”

    Karl’s POVThe chef was running late.I had hired a Michelin chef from Italy just for my date with Diamond.I knew she liked Italian food so why not get it directly from the source.I was probably going a bit overboard, but come on, it’s Diamond and she deserves the best.I couldn’t wait to salvage the look on her face when she sees all that I had planned for her.Out of excitement I had forgotten to check the accountability of the chef. Apparently it’s not just about being a good chef, punctuality mattered too. I was new to all these. Donald was always the one setting up, making arrangements and calling who need to be called while I made the calls.I continued dialing his number and on the third ring he picked.“Where the he…”, I cleared my throat reminding myself that I had to be composed.“Where are you?”“I’m on my way, my team and I just ran into a little traffic.”I wasn’t concerned about what delayed him I just wanted to know his exact location.“Where exactly are y

    Diamond’s POV“Hayden come on let’s go.”The boys were excited for their second day in school. They had woken up early and gotten dressed up on their own. Hayden forgot his special pencil in their room so he went back to get it.“I’ve got it Mummy, I’m coming now,” he yelled from inside the house.As pumped up and excited as the boys were I couldn’t help feeling exhausted about the things I was required to do. Karl was out of town now, so I would have to get off work early to pick the kids and take them home, and take them to school every morning before heading out to work again. I really felt Karl’s impact in my life and the kids too. He had been of so much help these past years and I didn’t know how I would have coped without him. I truly did appreciate Karl’s presence in my life. Hayden finally came down and we all entered the car as I drove them to school.“Mummy where did Uncle Karl go to?”, they all said at the same time and I laughed.“You really miss him huh?”“Yes Mummy w

    Diamond’s POV The rest of the ride was rather entertaining as we listened to the children bickering. There had been an awkward silence after Hayden mentioned Karl being Lennox’s brother. But of course silence never last when the children are involved.Natalia asked Lennox if he had a brother and Lennox affirmed saying she would eventually meet him.The kids continued speaking normally after that as Natalia gave them information on their school.We got to the school and Lennox pulled over.I gave the boys one last pep talk and of course Natalia was there too while Lennox stood beside the car watching us. “Okay boys and girl,” I looked at Natalia and she giggled.“Like I said before behave yourselves in school. And most importantly no fighting!!”They all nodded their heads and ran off into the school.Lennox and I watched them go before we turned and got into the car to leave.The ride to the hospital was a silent one. I just stared out the window while Lennox drove.But i

    Diamond’s POVI stared at the text with mixed feelings. I didn’t know what to make of it. The text was a reiteration of what Karl had told me a week ago. My mother was inviting me to dinner at their place. Karl and I still hadn’t made a decision. But then, it was easier because there was no pressure. Now Karl is gone and my mother made her request over a text which I had already opened. Clearly I couldn’t ignore her.I read her text over and over again.She had added a cute heart emoji and (hopefully it wasn’t just all in my head) she sounded genuine, like she actually cared and wanted to rebuild our relationship. I didn’t know how I was able to get all that from the text but that was the feeling I had as I kept on reading it.I was tempted to accept her request, besides it could even happen before Karl got back. I couldn’t shut my mother out or any member of my family at that. After all we were blood and it does say that blood is thicker than water. Thinking about it further onl

    Chapter 44Karl’s POV It was hard being away from Diamond and the kids of course.I couldn’t stop thinking about them even throughout the ride to Texas.When I arrived Donald was already waiting for me. He held up a sign with my name on it.I grumbled as I walked towards him.“What is this Donald?”I pointed at the stupid sign he was holding, my voice stern.I was already pissed that I couldn’t salvage the moment Diamond and I shared that evening.“A..a sign? For identification?”He stammered. I nodded my head and walked passed him, towards the car. I took the keys from him and drove us straight to the company.For the next hours, I sat in my office as Donald filled me in on the details of the contract, all that had been done in my absence and the paper work I needed to fill.After our brief meeting, I went on the fill the paperwork and reply emails too.I also had to send a draft of emails to Donald to forward to our business partners.By the end of the day, I was ex

    Diamond’s POV“Mommy can we have pizza for lunch in school?”I dropped the vegetable dressing fork I was holding and picked up Hayden. I set him on the kitchen counter and cupped his face.“You boys need to eat healthy okay. I’ll tell you what, sometime this week maybe we can have an ice cream sundae, what do you say?”“Yayy!!”, he jumped down from the counter and ran into their room to tell his brothers.“Take it easy, Hayden. And you boys should get dressed okay, I’ll take a look at your backpack when I’m done.”I was really busy now. Even before Karl, at least I had Rebecca and Aaron before he died. But now it was just me. I had to wake early, cook their lunch and get them ready for school while I prepared for a day at the hospital too. And of course after that I would pick them too. Thankfully, there had been no course to stay extra hours at the hospital recently. I thought about contacting Karl’s friend who helped us watch after the kids when we had dinner together but I

    Diamond2 years later…I looked around happy with the table arrangement. Lennox would sit beside me of course, the kids and then Karl and Rebecca beside each other. The oven dinged and I went over to check the chicken. Rebecca loves her chicken golden brown and properly crisped, so I left it in for a few more minutes.Rebecca and Karl were coming over for dinner and final preparations for their wedding tomorrow. She had always wanted to go on her honeymoon the night of her wedding, so I won’t get to see her for a while after tomorrow. That only reiterated the need for this dinner. Lennox and I would be hosting them, alongside the kids. We were happily married now and might I say, this two years have been the best of my life. A lot had happened within the span of two years. My parents and I were finally on good terms although we don’t speak frequently because that can’t just change after so many years. I had gotten a permanent job at the hospital.

    Diamond My hands were trembling as I made my way to Lennox’s room. Karl was behind me and I could sense that he was equally as anxious as I was. Rebecca had gone to inform Lennox’s parents about his condition. I slowly knocked on the door before letting myself in. I turned to see that Karl wasn’t following me in. He nodded and closed the door behind me. Lennox was staring at me intensely as I walked across the room to the bed. “Hey”, I said as I sat beside him. “Hi”, his smile was wide and genuine. He took my hand in his and brought them up to his lips, placing a small kiss on my knuckles. “I was so scared…”, I began as tears filled my eyes, “I’m sorry”, I said cleaning the tears off my eyes. “What are you sorry for, you didn’t do anything” “Exactly, I didn’t do anything. I couldn’t do anything, I…I thought I was going to lose you. I couldn’t bear the thought of not seeing you again, of not having you in my life.” “Diamond…”, he squeezed my hands gently and looked into my

    Karl I paced around the hospital hallway after my discussion with the doctor. He had spoken to Diamond first since I was nowhere to be found. After making sure Hayden was alright, I left the hospital to go search for Agatha and Lennox since they both had mysteriously disappeared. Rebecca had to stay with Diamond and the kids for emotional support. But during my vague search, I saw on the news that Lennox had been shot by an ex-convict. I had never been more sacred in my life. I began panicking and stumbled over anything and everything in my way, but I didn’t bother to pick them up. I had been to the bar I met Lennox in. At that point I just searched everywhere Lennox would normally be that I was aware of. The bartender and a few drunk men yelled at me as I exited the bar but I payed no attention to them. I immediately ran to my car, fondling with my keys, before I finally opened it. I hopped in and sped off quickly in the direction of the hospital. A lot of things went through my

    DiamondHayden was awake and could finally have visitors. He’d have to stay in the hospital for a few days before he could be discharged. The doctors had to monitor his progress and recovery. “Put that down”, I ordered Braden who was accessing some of the equipment on a tray“I know you’re curious, I was too at your age, but these are sharp objects and not something you play with”, he pouted and stepped away from the tray, “I’ll get a nurse to take the tray out”Jayden was sitting beside Hayden on the bed, he had not left that position since we came in to see Hayden. I hated having to put them through this, it was my mess, they didn’t have to suffer for it too.I left the room to get a nurse to come clear the tray.I was about entering the room when I turned to see Rebecca running to me. She got to where I was standing, breathing heavily.“What’s wrong, Rebecca? Why are you running?”She was still panting heavily but managed to get her words out.“Le...Lennox, he was rushed to the ho

    LennoxI had never felt more scared in my life. My heartbeat elevated as we ran into the hospital. I tried to collect my thoughts. I felt so guilty. I never should have let Natalia out of my sight. If anything happened to her it would be my fault and I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.We rushed to the security office. Rebecca was there, in a heated argument with one of the security guards.“What’s going on?”, I asked as we neared them.Rebecca turned to me and said the man wouldn’t allow her see the security footages. I mentally smacked myself in the head, why didn’t I think of this first before running to the police station.Agatha walked passed me and began threatening the guard who seemed unfazed by her words.We had to get permission from the board in other to view the footages but there was no time for that. So I stepped forward willing to plead with the guard. To my surprise he recognized me, and his tone changed to one of respect.“Dr. Winthrop, are you with t

    AgathaI wasn’t sure I had heard right.“What did you say?”, I asked, anger and disgust clear in my tone.Diamond stood her ground looking as confident as ever.“You heard me…”“Diamond”, Lennox called and my eyes immediately flew to him.I couldn’t believe it. Lennox was the father of these bastards?How is it even possible?They are probably a year younger than Natalia. So when did it even happen?Where they still seeing each other behind my back?So many questions swirled in my head. I assumed a variety of conclusions.But deep down there was one final conclusion which I didn’t want to accept. And it seemed like the most reasonable…She had gotten pregnant before their divorce.That would mean he didn’t cheat on me or betray me.I turned to look at the two boys with identical faces. I had never seen it before, mainly because I never bothered to observe them, but there was a resemblance to the Winthrops…to Lennox.I shook my head in disbelief.Turning away from the b

    DiamondWe were in the waiting room, expecting the feedback from the doctors in the OR.Everywhere was tense. The boys clung to me tightly.Rebecca had gone to get coffee, even though it was pretty late for that.She came into the room with a plastic cup of coffee at hand. She had asked if I wanted some but I declined.She gulped down the entire cup before assuming her position of resting on the wall again. Even when there were many available seats.Lennox was also in the room, although I didn’t dare look at him.Our conversation earlier was pretty heated. And it ended with me leaving the rooftop in tears. I didn’t even know when he entered the room since I was lost in my head.It hurt so much because everything he said was true. I hadn’t really thought about it then. But I could see now that what I did was wrong, not only to Lennox but to my boys too.Could you really blame me though?I was humiliated and I had no one. And my boys deserved the best. They still do.The door

    Lennox‘His father’s blood is a match’The words kept replaying in my head. I didn’t understand.Why would the doctor call me Hayden’s father?Maybe he made a mistake.“What are you saying Doc?”, I asked.“Well you know how we are incorporating new technology into every field in this hospital. So we used the STRs for a more accurate and faster result”The STRs…It is a specific genetic marker.That method would not just check the compatibility of the blood group but also genetic similarities.No I couldn’t believe it. I shook my head turning away from the doctor.“Here are the results”, he said for more confirmation.I slowly took them from his hands, eager yet scared to see what it was.I unfolded the paper.Positive…Match…Applicable…He was right. The Doc was right.So many thoughts swirled through my head. I didn’t even know where to start.“You can come in for the transfusion whenever you’re ready”, he said, bringing me back to reality.He turned away from me

    Diamond I blinked a million times. Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me. I couldn’t believe that was Hayden on the floor. Rebecca shook me yelling my name before I finally snapped out of it.The realization dawned on me.I quickly ran to Hayden who was lying unconscious. The boys began to cry tugging on Hayden. He was bleeding from his head. I looked up at Natalia, her expression had gone from angry to frightened.I turned to her sharply and yelled.“Why did you do this? Why did you push him?”, I was so furious now I couldn’t think straight.“What the hell is wrong with you?”“I don’t…I” she stammered, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw the blood flowing from Hayden’s head.The boys kept crying now and fought the tears that threatened to fall.I hurriedly carried Hayden in my hands and Rebecca ran to get the keys to the car.No communication was needed.I rushed to the car and placed an unconscious Hayden in the back seat and I hopped in sitting beside him
