Davis's POV“So this is where you will be living from now on, the Don's residence” Godfather Stone said to me the moment I stepped down from the car. I couldn't believe that I would be living in such a big house. I only saw those kinds of houses very far from me. Never have I stepped my feet anywhere close to it. My eyes scanned the compound as I turned around, filling my eyes with the beauty of the place. I call it magnificent, there was no better word for it. He let me look as much as I wanted to. With my tattered clothes and worn-out slippers, I walked slowly around the car to see how large and beautiful the place was. “Come,” he said to me with a smile, and I quickly followed him. Not only because I wanted to obey him, but also because I knew if he left me, I would definitely get lost. I was nine years old when I got to know Godfather Stone and since that day, my life changed forever “Raymond!” He called the minute we entered the house. I couldn't stop looking at the interior
Davis's POVThe smile on my face spread up some more when I saw her eyes wide. How long was I unconscious? Grace was staring at me as if I were a ghost. “Davis,” she whispered.Grace remained frozen there, she didn't move forward nor did she say anything more. All she did was stare, then tears began to roll down her cheeks. I must have scared my babies so much, I tried to move my legs, but they were stiff, the reason being that I hadn't moved for long. I watched my babies, including Adrianna, rush to me and hug me. They all began to cry loudly, making my eyes sting with tears. “Hey…” My throat was cracked and my mouth dried. Adrianna passed me a glass of water quickly, and I took it and drank of it. They had a wide smile on their faces, yet they were crying. I shook my head, trying so hard not to let my tears fall, “How long was I out?” I turned to Grace. “Two years” she replied, making me seize my breath. What the fuck! I was unconscious that long?“Mummy!” I heard Helen groa
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
