28Catherine's POV:Papá grabbed the cooked chicken wing and took a bite of it then smiled.I and Gregory have always made sure to make life comfortable for them but there's a difference between a millionaire and a billionaire."This is so sweet, the taste is just so unique I love it." He said.I glanced at my wrist watch and it was a quarter after 3:00 p.m.I had fun while having lunch today, I got to talk to my family as a married woman for the first time and that shit felt so good.It felt so f**king good."Come, I'll show you around the house." I said and Colt jumped up from his seat in excitement."Oh fuck yes, I get to see how your room is." He said."Watch your language, Colt." Papá said harshly and Colt's eyes widened.He must have forgotten that he wasn't alone with me."Sorry, Papá."Showing my parents around the house is one of the longest task I've ever done in my life. it was so exhausting. From Mama asking me all about the house and Colt acting like a f****** 15 years
29Dylan's POV:I walked straight inside my room..... Our room and dropped my briefcase on the bed.I sat down at the edge of the bed and started loosening my tie when she walked in.She was holding a bottle of water when she walked in."How was work today?" She asked before handing over the water to me.I took the water from her hand and opened the cover then took a sip."Good." I responded calmly then looked her up and down."The BLACK X KING'S annual fundraiser is tomorrow night and I would like you to be ready because you'll be accompanying me there." I told her and her eyes widened."Oh my f****** God I had no idea. I need a dress and a pair of shoes." She responded. She bite her lower lip and sighed. "I will have to go shopping tomorrow. And that's by the way. Dinner is ready."I remembered that I promised to have dinner with her tonight and I will fulfill my promises. I should at least be able to eat with her for the sake of humanity. it will be unfair to treat her coldly when
30LEILANI'S POV:I slowly opened my eyes when felt the other side of the bed dipped.Dylan just come in.I wondered what the time was.I held my breath, trying not to give it away that i just woke up.He pulled the duvet up to my waist to cover my thighs that were outside and I closed my eyes.Even in the dark he couldn't bear the thought of seeing me as a woman.Why do I expect anything to change just because we got married?Why was I expecting him to treat me like a wife and cuddle me.This is business to him just like everything else.Why do i have to raise my hope high? Just why?I was a dumbass.I shouldn't have placed my expectations on him or anything but i did and i have myself to be blamed for it. No one else but myself.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Then I turned around and placed my hand on his chest.I noticed his sharp intake of breath when i touched him but he finally calmed down and I relaxed on him.Leilani Black. You're so fucked up.*****It is already 1:
31LEILANI'S POV:Eloise grabbed a black dress from the rack and brought it towards me. "Why don't we try this one first?" She asked me. The dress was beautiful but I would have preferred another color, possibly red since I knew that Dylan would be wearing a black suit.I walked inside the changing room with Eloise trailing after me. After changing into the black dress I stared at myself on the mirror and shook my head.I didn't like it.It felt right and stuffy on my body.It was a dress fit for winter and not summer season."I don't like this one." I said and she spurted out series of apologies before rushing off to get another one for me.I wasn't even mad.I guess the fear of whom I married made her apologize even though she had no idea that I might not like the dress.She came back again some minutes later with several dresses which I went through a picked up a red dress that caught my eyes.I raised the dress up against myself and smile.This is the one.I told Eloise to unzip
32LEILANI'S POV:The cars drove inside the hotel where the fundraiser was taking place. Before leaving the house I drank one glass of champagne just to ease myself.I can't mess things up today. A lot of people will be watching me.Even though I knew that cameras won't be allowed inside since it was a private event but I knew that his business associates would be watching. They would want to see where I'm lacking which I'm not going to allow.I will keep my head high and school my expression.I am a Black now and ruling is in that name."Are you okay?" Dylan questioned and i nodded my head.The car door was pulled opened for us and Dylan and I got down from the car. I was around the car to Dylan's side and he offered me his hand which I gladly took.About fifteen bodyguards were with us tonight. It was actually true.Since his father's death when he was still young, old Mr Black never allowed him to go out alone without a bodyguard and he grew up with him.They were just being cautio
33LEILANI'S POV:I didn't know what to say. I just stood there, speechless.I swallowed the lump on my throat and walked inside the room."I'm not a voyeur just because I'm watching you doesn't make me one." I responded, my face flushing with embarrassment.This time around he turned to stare at me."Why is your face flushed?" He questioned. Oh my goodness.Why can't he just let me be? Ibwas trying not to embarrass myself in front of him but he kept making it harder."Nothing." I sat down on the bed and pulled off my shoes. After watching for sometime he walked inside the closet.I grabbed my shoes and followed him."Tonight was great." I said as I stepped out of my dress, now only in my underwear. "You don't seem so fond of Giuseppe." He hummed softly and take my dress from my hand. He walked to the basket and put the cloth inside."I'm not fond of a lot of people, Leilani. It's not just Giuseppe." He replied, I was surprised to hear his reply. I wasn't expecting him to say anythi
34LEILANI'S POV:He lifted my chin up with his hand and stared into my eyes."What is wrong?" He asked in a soft voice, I almost couldn't hear him.He looked as if he was concerned about me. He looked as if he really cared.I forced my eyes down and shook my head."It is nothing, I'm about to see my period so the cramp is making me tear up." I responded.That was partially true because a day to the day my period will start, I start having serious cramps that sometimes got me crazy.He groaned frustratedly and captured my face in his hand. Firmly this time."So you cry whenever you're about to see your period? Is that it? you might think I'm stupid Leilani but I'm not dumb and you know it so you better start telling me what is wrong with you now." He said calmly, so dangerous calm that it sent shivers down my skin."You don't do dinner dates with your associates, so I was sure that you didn't go there. Where were you Dylan? were you with one of your mistresses? you told me that you wo
35LEILANI'S POV:I woke up the next morning earlier than I used to since I got married to Dylan.I went to the kitchen and joined Margaret I making big Mac french toast. When it was about to get done, I walked out of the kitchen and back upstairs.When I went back inside, Dylan was sitting down on the bed."Good morning." I greeted and then walked past him towards the bathroom.After taking my bath, I wrapped a towel around me and walked out of the bathroom only to meet Dylan walking inside as well."Get ready. I'll drop you off at Brooklyn." He said and I hummed.I walked inside the closet after doing my make-up and grabbed a pencil black skirt and a white shirt.It was one of the outfits I used to wear when I was still Dylan's secretary.I put on my stiletto heels and grabbed my black birkin bag before walking out of the closet.I was going to make a good impression on the employees since today will be my first day.I want them to see me not just as their boss's wife but as Leilani
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
