LEILANI'S POV:
I called Serafina almost immediately after Dylan sent me the dress that day. She was so excited for me.
She have no idea that it will be a fake marriage, but who cares? I get to have Dylan smiling and holding my hand even if it's in public, I'm okay with that.
It is Sunday night, he might that I'll be meeting Old man Black.
I am nervous. Seriously, if you know how hot headed that man is you'd be nervous as well.
I don't want to mess this up, I don't want to disappoint Dylan and I don't want Serafina who is busy doing my hair to notice my change of mood.
"Are you okay, babe?" Serafina ask, I nod my head and stare at myself on the mirror.
I look so different, so elegant, classy like Dylan would like it.
I smile and stand up from the chair that I was sitting on.
"I'll just go and drink some water, I'm thirsty." I tell her befo

It has been a long time since I sleep throughout the night without one of those.I sighed as I stretched myself only to be touching something warm.Huh?What could be so warm this early morning?I spread my hand on the warm stuff and quickly open my eyes to see what it is.My eyes met with Dylan's, he was holding a book in his hand and wearing his glasses.I .was .actually. touching. him!I quickly pulled my hand away from his chest and shifted back to my side of the bed.Shit.

She is a high standard and classy woman, a very well respected individual in the society, meeting her is a blessing.Serafina grabbed a red dress from my closet and placed it against my body."I think this color will suit you very well." She said.Truly, the red dress was bought for me by Serafina on my birthday.The dress was a knee-length gown, a deep v neck that shows just a hint of cleavage.It was classy and sexy.A perfect mix.I loved it."I love it, it will go well with my black heels." I told her and she nodded. When that was done, I relaxed a little bit.I know that she wants to see me because of the wedding, even though I anticipated her call
61Leilani has succeeded in putting the kids to sleep, she walked out of the kids room and went to their room next do but couldn't find Dylan there. She raised one eyebrow and closed the door before making her way downstairs.She checked the bar and she couldn't find her husband so she walked down the hallway towards his office.She knocked softly on the door before pushing it open.Dylan was sitting on his desk and working on his laptop when Leilani walked in. He had a lot of works to do since he was planning to open a new branch of his company in Tokyo and since he now go home early most of the days he couldn't work on everything in his office at the company.Dylan gazed up as soon as he heard the knock and watched Leilani walk in."Hey, Babe." Leilani greeted as she walked further inside the office. Her eyes scanned the large mahogany desk and the equipments on top of it, ranging from the computer, the laptop in front of Dylan. The unlit cigar beside his laptop and lots more."I ch
60Dylan joined Leilani on the bed and wrapped his hand around her waist.She has been healing for months now and the more he looked at her the more he wanted to touch her.Thinking about her made him happy.He wanted to spoil his little wife. He wanted to give her anything her heart desires.He wanted to make her happy. She just have to say the word."Did you have fun cooking with your friends today?" Dylan asked her and Leilani nodded. She placed her hand on top of Dylan's and sighed."Greg's wedding is next week, I knew that he pushed it back this far because of me. I want to surprise him but I don't know how." She complained. Dylan sighed and sniffed her hair as he closed his eyes."What do you think he would appreciate the most? A car? A house? Or you can buy him a land. That would be better. If I were him I would appreciate the land more." Dylan said and Leilani turned around in his arms to face him. She touched his forehead and pushed up the hair that was covering them. Her eyes
59Leilani was laying down on a king sized bed inside the VIP room at the hospital, a drip attached to her hand and her eyes closed. She was only wearing a basketball outfit and her hair was pack into a messy bun by Serafina."How is she doing?" Mrs Carter said as she walked inside the room with two shopping bags in her hand."She haven't wake up yet after breastfeeding them, but the doctor said it is because of the medicine injected inside the drip." Serafina responded and touched Leilani's hand."She is so strong, I had no idea that she was carrying quadruplets inside her." Serafina muttered under her breath.Right after giving birth to her babies Leilani became weak. She was transferred to the VIP section where her babies were brought to her after getting cleaned.Leilani couldn't hold back her tears when she saw them.They were the cutest little angels he ever seen. They looked wonderful.The all took Dylan's face. Leilani smiled contentedly when she noticed this. As she breastfee
58Dylan was sitting inside his home when Leilani knocked on the door and walked in.The more her stomach grow the more beautiful she becomes and even Dylan could see this."Hey, Sweetheart." He greeted and stood up to help her.Leilani rounded up the table and walked right into Dylan's opened arms."What are you doing? I search for you almost everywhere around the house." Leilani said and Dylan chuckled.Why would she think of doing something like that?"Why? Are you doing exercises? Why would you search for me in a house that have 10 bedrooms and fifteen toilets?" Dylan asked in amusement.He found the situation funny but Leilani didn't as she lightly punched him on the chest."I want your homemade chicken pasta." Leilani suddenly said. It was just 9:21 a.m. she has eaten breakfast so why would she want another one in less than an hour?"Why? You ate just a few minutes ago." He reminded her and she pushed her hand away." And? And so what? Should I remind you that I'm eating for fou
57They both stared at each other for a while before Leilani walked up to him and wrapped her hands around his waist."I've missed you so much. I felt like I would die. It was suffocating, Baby." Leilani said, her lips quivering and her hands wrapping tightly around Dylan's waist.Dylan placed his hand on her back and rubbed her back up and down in a consoling manner."I am here. I am here for you, Leilani." He whispered. Leilani stopped sobbing and looked up at him, her eyes filled with hope."Say it again. Your last word in the text message you sent me. I want to hear you say it."Leilani said."I love you." Dylan whispered. "I love you, I need you, I want you Baby girl. I would do anything for you."Dylan cupped her cheek and kissed her lips softly, not minding that there were other people inside the living room with them.He just wanted to feel her again, to hold her.After kissing her Leilani smiled sweetly and placed Dylan's hand on top of her stomach.Dylan didn't know how to fe
56Liam was grabbing something from his house when he decided to check up on Leilani but was terrified when he saw her laying on the floor, a pregnancy test in her hand. "Lala, Lala please wake up. Lala!" He shouted while shaking her body viciously.He left her on the ground and rushed inside the bathroom where he soaked a small towel inside the water before going back to where Leilani was spread out.He wiped her forehead and her hands with the wet towel while calling her."Lala? What is going on? Lala wake up." He stuttered and patted her cheek. Leilani woke up with a gasp, her eyes widened and her body shaking.The terrifying reality trickle down her head and moisture clouded her vision.Why is this happening to her?Why does she have to be so unfortunate? Whose child is she carrying? Dylan's or her abuser's?"Lala," Liam called as his eyes trailed to the pregnancy test on the ground. "You are pregnant."Leilani sat up and rested her back against the wall."I am pregnant." She whi
55After about the hours' drive, Leilani finally touched down in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.She was wondering where to go and search for a small town to go where she could be at peace. Ranging from Arizona to Alhambra she finally chooses to go to Doylestown and it looks like she would love it.Before she left New York she made sure not to let anyone know where she was going. She just wanted to see it as a vacation where she would enjoy herself and find peace in herself.After about two hours drive she was standing in front of the house she rented.The house was small but moderate. It is good for just one person. It was decorated with ornament flowers which brought out the beauty even more and the body was painted with milk color. It was simple and beautiful.Leilani pulled out her bag from her car trunk and closed the trunk. She turned to walk inside the house when the next house door was pulled open and Liam who was the same age as Leilani walked out of the house.His and Leilani's ey
54When Leilani was discharged from the hospital she refused to go back to Dylan's house.She just couldn't bare the shame.Moisture gathered in her eyes when she remembered the look that Dylan gave her when she made her intention known.He was hurt.The memories that trickled back in steady and horrendous in their accuracy tormented her.She could still hear her screams and her pleas that fell on deaf ears. She could still feel the pain between her legs where she was taken.She couldn't subject herself to that kind of situation. She has came into conclusion of what she would do and no one would be able to convince her about it."Are you sure about this? You need a lot of love at this moment and your husband is in the best position to provide that for you. You can't do this, Leilani." Serafina said and Leilani sighed. She released a broken breath and swallowed the huge lump that formed inside her mouth."It would be pure wickedness if I stay behind, Fina. The truth might be hidden now
53Leilani's shirt was cut open with a knife. Only her black bra covered her chest. And she was shivering from cold.She was awake on determination. She should have been out long ago."Look at those full breast, they look succulent and beautiful Dylan Black is a lucky m***********." The stranger said and groped her through the bra and Leilani shook her head.She couldn't do anything. Her hands were tied against her back and her legs were tied too. Her eyes were covered with a blindfold and her mouth was already sealed with a duct tape, she was helpless.The bra was also cut into two and her breast was let out of their confinement.One of the men whistled and touched Leilani's breast."Just look at that, so f****** beautiful." He murmured.Tears fell down Leilani's eyes as she was being assaulted.How was she going to survive this? How was she going to go back like nothing happened?How was she going to go out in public and act like all is well with her when it isn't?As she was bei
