Diamond’s POV

I walked quickly to my office as my heart was beating rapidly.

I shut the door behind me and collapsed on the couch.

I couldn’t believe what had almost transpired between Lennox and I.

For some reason my whole body was aching.

I had felt it everywhere.

I hugged myself tightly as I tried steadying my breath.

And it all came rushing in.

The way he looked at me, the lust in his eyes.

He wanted me and he didn’t bother hiding it.

When his gaze dropped to my lip, for a moment I thought he was going to move in.

And something inside me yearned for it.

The feeling of his hand on my cheek as he brushed my hair out of my face.

I wanted to lean in more than anything.

The feeling of lust soon turned into one of rage.

I was angry at Lennox for what had almost happened, for coming close to me.

But I was angry at myself more. How could I have let things get that far?

None of this was meant to happen, I was not supposed to be feeling this way.

I immediately got up fro

    DiamondI never imagined that I would be the one to be running away from Lennox, not because I was hiding my kids but this time, for my own sanity. After that day at the rooftop, and my emotional meltdown with Rebecca, I felt utterly vulnerable and it wasn’t a very good feeling.I was out of touch with my emotions, because why on earth would I still everything I felt on that rooftop for Lennox after everything that he did to me in the past. I sighed as I entered my office after a patient round. It has been two days since the rooftop incident, and in those two days, I have avoided Lennox to the best of my ability. Of course it wasn’t easy considering we work in the same space and are supposed to be working together to help a teenager dying of brain cancer. Instead of me focusing on this important surgery at hand, my mind was all over the place, yet still centered around Lennox. And it not only infuriated me, but I was also very angry with him. But I knew what I had to do; if this surge

    Lennox’s POV I felt a surge of emotions course through my veins when Diamond walked away with Timothy. I was angry. No, angry was an understatement. I was raving, and for reasons I still hadn’t admitted to myself. I raked a hand through my hair, unable to get the image of Diamond standing up to me because of Timothy, and eventually walking away with him out of my head. I was very uneasy about her relationship with the man and it wasn’t because I felt like there was still something between us, and there were so many things she was yet to tell me about her life since our divorce. Timothy sprang up from nowhere. Sure, I have seen him a couple of times around the hospital, he had completed his residency two years ago, but how dare he be interested in Diamond? What gave him the impetus to think that he could just go for any woman he wanted? Most especially, Diamond Caddell. Did he not know of our history together? Was she really considering going out on a date with him? What would that

    DiamondI woke up to the unfamiliar hardness of the bed. At first, it didn’t register in my head where I was. But when I tossed and turned, slowly opening my eyes to my reality, I found that it wasn’t just the bed that was unfamiliar. Everything about this room was unfamiliar. Needless to say, I had no idea where the hell I was. I sprang up from bed, all traces of sleep instantly disappearing from my eyes as I searched my surroundings and memory frantically, wondering how I got here. I traced my steps back in my head. The last thing I remembered was being with Timothy after the surgery…I had been discarding the surgical gloves and hair net, as well as face mask when Timothy came up to me beaming like a little child that had just been handed a pack of candy. “Diamond, I’m short of words. You were awesome back there, you saved that man’s life.” I chuckled. Saying I saved that man’s life was a stretch, he was going to live either way, just with a few minor complications. “I’m

    DiamondMy shock quickly dissipated into anger when I recalled the conversation Lennox and Braden had been having right before I walked in. Why wouldn't he just let this be? Why wouldn't he just believe me when I say that he is not the father of my kids? Why does he have to poke nose and go as far as interrogating my confession just to find out the truth? What, even, was he expecting to happen? That I decide to start a family with him and if he ever finds out that he's really the father of my boys? “Are you really going to stoop this low Lennox?” I spat out, stomping forward to take Braden by his arm and pull him towards. Lennox lowered his eyebrows in confusion, unsure of what I was talking about but a deep frown formed on my face and I wasn't going to take this innocent act from him. “What the hell do you want from me Lennox? After everything you put me through, why can't you just fucking leave me alone?” I had let my anger get the best of me and cussed out right in front of my k

    LennoxAll through the car ride back home, I was thinking about what Braden had told me earlier and how Diamond had reacted. I was thinking about the moment we shared on the rooftop, and I was slowly beginning to realize that I couldn’t stay away from the woman even if I wanted to. Not only did I want to satisfy my curiosity regarding who the father of her boys were but I also just found myself wanting to be around her. I glanced over my shoulders to find Natalia playing subway surfer on my phone and I felt a pang of guilt. I was never going to ruin my family because of whatever I might be feeling at the moment. My daughter deserved nothing but the best; to grow up in a family that would offer her happiness, everything she wanted, and stability. Even if Agatha and I were a crisis couple, I was trying my very best to make sure that it doesn’t affect her. Natalia grinned at me, showing all her teeth in a wide smile. She was happy, Diamond’s kids made her happy. But it was also complica

    DiamondI was not on call in the hospital so I spent the better part of the day in bed, reading up the textbook on brain cancer the Process had handed to us. Soon enough, the patient was going to come in and I was going to have to offer her my utmost attention. But before then, I needed to know what exactly I was doing. And I also needed to get my mind off anything Lennox related so it was a win-win situation. With the kids in school, I had some peace and quiet. At least for a couple of hours until Rebecca opened the door to my room and flung herself on my bed. “Goodness, woman, do you want to break my leg?” I recoiled in the blanket, just in time before Rebecca landed on the bed. “You know what? Don't answer. As you can see I'm very busy right now, so come back later if it isn't important.” I passed her a brief glance before burying my face back in the textbook.“What was the last line you read?” She asked and I lifted my brows in confusion.“Huh?” “You heard me. Don't look, what w

    DiamondAs much as I told myself that two married couples kissing themselves shouldn't affect me, the words flew over my head and did the exact opposite. I couldn't get the image out of my head. And it hurt so much for some reasons I couldn't explain. I was upset and angry with myself for caring about a stupid kiss this much. What on earth was I even expecting from a married man who happened to be Lennox Winthrop? He never cared about my feelings, and he most certainly wouldn't now that there were many other heads to think about.I signed and lifted my head to look at the mirror for the first time since they left the salon. The hair was turning out well, the hairdresser really knew her job. Rebecca had already left to check out the salon's snack tray, she was really bent on maxing out that coupon if it was even possible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I didn't like the woman I saw. I caught a glimpse of the former Diamond: emotionally weak, and stupid enough to believe that

    LennoxFive years ago…As I was driving through the highway to my parents' villa, Diamond was watching a YouTube video on how to play football. The commentary got extra exciting and I watched as her eyes lit up for a few seconds only for her shoulders to fall back as she swamped into the chair. “He didn't score?” I asked, chuckling. She sighed. “He was going to. Everybody thought he was going to. But out of nowhere some guy came out and jumped on him, and he lost the ball.” She made a face. “I'm sure he must have broken a bone or two.”I couldn't help but laugh. “That's why they wear gears, babe. I'm sure he'll be fine.”“Are we going to be wearing gears?” She asked hopefully but unfortunately, I was going to crush that.“It's a lot less intense than actual football. It's a family thing and nobody wants to be throwing themselves into the other, you know.” I responded with a reassuring smile. “Plus, it's a house filled with doctors. If anyone gets hurt, we'll treat the person. We're

    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. After the incident with Tim, he an

    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
