Grace's POV“.... Where the fuck is the man who dared to say he would protect his babies even with his last blood?” There was silence in the room as my chest heaved up and down in anger. Davis wasn't the only one with tears in his eyes now, we had both cried, but I made sure I poured out all that I had to. His words may have made sense to others, but not to me. As I have always feared, I am not ready to become a widow. I would never accept it. Vincent died for his don to live, and Davis must accept it and live. I waited for him to say something, but he didn't. We were both sitting on the ground, staring at each other. I blinked the tears in my eyes away as I pulled him into my embrace. “Come here, I'm sorry I yelled and hit you” I spoke softly as I caressed his back. That must have given him a shock because I am still shocked as it is. He shook his head before pulling from my embrace. There I saw that he had wiped his tears away, he began to wipe mine,“You did what you had to do
Grace's POVI didn't know when I began to force back the blush from creeping into my cheeks. He just woke up and he was already seeing this. “I'll… I'll just go… get you some food” I couldn't help but stammer and was about to walk away when Davis pulled me back, causing me to fall on his chest before he wrapped his arms around my tiny waist. I didn't argue, as I had always wanted to feel his warmth since the night we were attacked. He inhaled my hair before he pressed his lips on my head.“I love you so much, baby. Thank you for your strength” My eyes swelled with tears and I sniffed, “I love you too. Thank you for not dying” I pulled away and looked into his eyes, “That man was the same man who killed my sister, Davis. His voice, I could recognize it. He was the one who killed my sister in cold blood. Even when I did what he wanted, he still killed her. Then he captured Helen, he was the one who sent that letter to come back to New York to meet you. I am so sure of it, Davis. A
Davis's POVFor the next two days, I stayed in the house, trying to get back my strength. Louis came around from time to time with the excuse that he was here to check up on me, but I'm not the only one he was checking up on, and I could see it. I don't know why Grace wasn't seeing it. The funny thing was, Helen didn't like him either. Whenever he calls Helen to come to him, my baby girl snubs him. I thought her well, very sweet girlSo today, I finally decided to have a meeting with Jack. The time he called was after I woke up, he asked me how I was and that was it as he said I needed rest before we started talking about business. “Don, welcome back to the land of the living” “I'm glad to be back, thank you” I replied with a straight face. He must have known of Vincent's death, and he wasn't talking about it because he didn't want me to get hurt like how I'm already hurting thinking about it.“What's left?” I asked Jack. Grace had refused to tell me anything, saying she didn't kno
Grace's POVDavis's mood was still sour. It's been a week since he woke up, yet he remained in his room or else I asked him to come out. Although he wasn't crying anymore, it looked like he was still down. Adrianna was also in that situation a month ago. Helen, however, being a sweetheart, has suggested that she wanted to go out with her father today. She wanted to tour Mauritius, and I'm so glad Davis agreed. I didn't like the fact that he was always in the room. They had all gone out to tour Mauritius while I remained home. I wanted to give Helen and Davis, father and daughter time, since I'll be needing mine the minute they get back home. It's been more than a month now, and we both haven't had sex. I don't know if he misses me like I miss him. Since he woke up, he hasn't touched me or even spoken rotten like he used to. I know he is passing through a lot, but I am craving him. I have been for a long time now, and that's one of the reasons I wanted him to wake up already. Now he
Davis's POVI stood as I watched the cars drive towards the house we stayed very close to the beach. There were three black cars though. I wondered why Jack would have to use this many cars when he was coming alone. He had said he would be here two days ago but delayed his coming till today. I was excited to see him but also sad because we used to be more than two. I sighed before pushing the thought off my mind before it ruined my mood. The cars stopped one after the other, with my hand behind my back I watched the door open and saw Jack one out of the first car. "Jack," I called as I walked over to him. I can't remember the last time I saw him in person. Since he got married, I decided to let him go. His family was more important. I pulled him into a hug"I've missed you, man" I smiled. Just then, the other car opened and someone stepped out. I raised my brow when I saw who it was. "Gideon" A smile spread on my lips. Few days before the clash, I had asked Vincent to send a mess
Author's POVWith Helen sitting on Vincent's lap, Vincent spoke up after a while. They had all gotten a piece of the cake. Adrianna was still quiet and had not spoken a word to Vincent since he came in. Davis could not contain his excitement. “During the fight, I came face to face with Raymond. I was shocked he was the one behind the scheme. I knew if you had known, you wouldn't want to fight anymore, so I tried to reach you to know what to do because if I had killed him, I wasn't sure you'd be pleased” His eyes were fixed on Davis, who looked from him to the ground. Back then, he would have not been pleased, but not anymore. Now, he is more than delighted to take the man's life by himselfOne thing he thought of back then was the words of his godfather. To always protect each other, and look after one another, but he could see that Raymond never really considered him family. So he'll stop seeing him as one from now on, the ones who are his family are the ones sitting here and the o
Davis's POVI had made sure the ladies had gone to sleep when I sat the men down for a talk. Now, this was the real meeting, and I'm ready to take the bull by the horns now. I feel satisfied seeing my people by my side. This means that there is still hope, lots of it, and as Grace had said, when I step into New York, they'll know that their Don is back.“We can't do anything without men by our side. Our men had gone into hiding, especially after they found out that Raymond had taken over. If we are going to fight, we need more men,” Vincent spoke and I nodded. “I can get my gang,” Gideon suggested. I nodded again, knowing it was a good idea but…“Will they agree to it knowing that they are fighting with their new Don?” I asked.“Davis, I'm not sure that Jack explained to you what Raymond is doing in New York. Everyone is against his rule, he is ruling with an iron fist and without any remorse” Vincent spoke up, making me frown. “He is no one's friend and takes advice from no one. He
Grace's POVI woke up to see Davis already dressed, he was looking at the mirror as he knotted his tie. If not that Davis was Davis, I would have thought someone else had stepped into our room and was using our mirror. Vincent perhaps, but this was Davis. I was sure of it even though I could only see his back. “What are you up to?” I asked the man, who finally turned to meet my eyes, only for me to exclaim,“Wow” I giggled, “What are you doing with glasses?” I asked.He gave me a sheepish smile as he walked over and pecked my lips. He wasn't only wearing a purple long-sleeve shirt, he had tucked in, wore glasses, and combed his hair backward. What the hell was going on? This is nothing like my Davis at all. “What's going on?” I asked again.“The boys and I are going somewhere” he replied, making me raise my brow. Okay, I agree he was going somewhere, why dress this way? I wasn't used to it at all. “Where? Why do you have to dress like this if you're going out?” I asked with furrow
