Davis's POV It was late at night when Vincent and I stepped into the house. The lights were out and I wondered why. Although they might have slept off, I didn't expect that they would turn the light off before going to bed. As if on cue, Vincent pulled out his gun as well. "Grace, Helen…" I called as I went to switch the light on.Everything was okay outside when we passed but we can never be too careful. Immediately I switched the light on, I pointed my guns with both hands at both sides of me. Only to hear, "Surprise!" With my eyes closed, I exhaled, a breath of great relief. Jesus Christ! These two would be the death of me. "Helen" I breathed out as I moved the gun away, hiding it behind my back. Helen had a wide smile on her face as she looked at Vincent and I. In front of her was a big cake."Did you bake that?" I asked as I made my way to where she stoodIt's 10 pm already, Helen is supposed to be asleep. Why isn't she? And what's with the cake? Where is Grace?"Baby,"
Grace's POVNo matter how I called Davis, he never turned back to look at me or Helen. Not even once. It broke my heart so much, but I was more concerned about his life. He had locked the door behind him, so we would not follow. I hate it, I hate the fact that he is trying to be strong. I've lost people in my life, and only I know how scared I was. He didn't understand that he wasn't only endangering himself but also Helen and I. What will happen to us if something happens to him?If something happens to Davis tonight, I'll never forgive him. Never!I'm literally trembling right now. The sweat that had rolled down my face was enough to bathe. It just felt like the night from five years ago. How I had felt when I saw Caroline's body on the ground.I don't know why, but I keep seeing Davis's body on the ground. It's so scary, but I keep seeing it and I don't want to. My imagination was killing me, and it's making me cry some more. These are pains I do not want to face again. I don't w
Grace's POV“She must have gone to her room,” Davis replied with a shrug“But I thought we were to sleep in your room tonight?” I had to ask but instead, Helen said, “Daddy, I'm sleepy” She hugged Davis tighter, circling her arms around Davis's neck. He kissed her neck before saying, “Go to sleep, honey,” He moved out of the room to his. Before placing Helen on the bed. That was when I saw the time, it was 5 am already. What the hell!When did everything even happen? “Sleep Grace,” Davis said to me as he got out of the bed after dropping Helen on it. I couldn't help but ask,“What about you? Aren't you going to sleep?” “I will. I want to check up on something, and I'll come and sleep” he replied. “What's that?” I couldn't help but ask, I was scared that if he left, he'll never come back. I didn't want to lose him.“Hmm, Adrianna” he replied, and I narrowed my eyes at him “Davis, when will you be back?”He had the look of a brave warrior on his face, but I can't overlook the fac
Davis's POVA day of peace is all I ask! I don't know who the fuck these people were, but I dare not underestimate them. The last time they came with full force like this, I had lost so many men and Nanny Mariam as well. This time, I refuse to give them any breathing space. Immediately I walked out of the mansion, I began to fire at them. I didn't fucking care if there were survivors or not, my family were inside that building. I made sure no one made it into the mansion. I may have made a similar mistake before, but I wasn't going to try it ever again. My men stood firm as well, bullets flying everywhere and the sounds of guns too. Some of the enemies had escaped, but I made sure Bruce did not make it out of the residence. I captured six other men along with him. Only a few were able to escape. “Take them to the dungeon” I instructed Vincent, who ordered the other men beside him to take the seven men into the dungeonMy eyes landed on Bruce and I smirked,“You'll wish a fucking
Grace's POVI woke up to an empty room. Neither Davis nor Helen were in the room. I sat up to look around. When I checked the time, I realized that they must have gone to the living room after waking up. I yawned before stepping down from the bed. I stepped out of the room and went downstairs to the living room, it was empty as well. What surprised me was how clean it was. Because of what happened last night, I expected the house to be damaged somehow, but everything was intact like nothing ever happened. I shrugged before making my way to the kitchen, the place was quiet, there was no Adrianna or Helen. “Adrianna? Helen?” I called, but no one responded. Or was I dreaming?There's a belief that if you're in a dream, and you wish to know if it's a dream or not, all you have to do is check your fingers if they were five in number or six. If it's six then, it's definitely a dream, I raised my hands up to look at my fingers, they were both five. I sighed in relief, it's not a dream.
Davis's POVFuck! Grace wasn't supposed to be here! Damn! This is the main reason I wanted Adrianna back in the house. But she insisted on seeing the man getting tortured. I didn't think too much about it, since Grace would never come here anyway until she did. “You see what you caused!” I barked at the bastard, Bruce. His head was down as he didn't have any more strength to lift it up. I had patiently pulled out all his fucking teeth. The bastard thought I was here to play, I had made sure to give him more than he had done to me. After killing his men in front of him, just like he did to mine, I began to pluck out his teeth one after the other before moving down to his fucking fingers. I pulled out all his nails with a fucking plier one after the other. Yes, the bastard screamed. He screamed so loud, and I was glad the torture room was not just underground, but also made of soundproof doors. After asking him so many times who his fucking boss was, he finally confessed, but his
Davis's POV“I'm so, so sorry” I apologized, but the girl didn't look like sorry would solve this one. “Davis, please. I beg you, let me go. I didn't sign up for this” she cried. Her tears were rolling down her cheeks and when I took a step forward to wipe the tears away, she took many steps back in fear. Fuck!My jaws clenched, and my hands formed a fist beside me. I looked from her to Adriana who was standing close by, begging for help with my eyes. I didn't know what else to do, I was helpless for the first time since I met her. I don't want to lose her, I can't afford to lose her. “Can you let him explain, Grace?” Adriana asked, and I was grateful that she was trying to help me out because I swear, I was fucking lost for words.“What is there to explain?” Grace asked with a choked voice, causing my heart to break.“There is always something to explain. Give him a chance to explain” she pleaded. I stood there staring at them both as I didn't know what to do anymore. Even if Gra
Grace's POVThe video made me rooted to the ground. I watched Vincent take Helen from Davis before walking upstairs. I forced myself to move my legs after minutes of staring at him. I made my way to where Davis stood. He didn't move. His eyes held something I couldn't explain. They were different from what I had ever seen in Davis. They were teary, and I could also see the fear in his eyes. He didn't want to lose me. He was scared that I'll leave him with Helen.When I got close enough to him, I began to undo the button on the wrist of his long sleeve shirt. I was shocked, myself, when I saw him wearing a long sleeve. But I didn't think much about it. I felt he did it for a change, I didn't notice….I thought I had checked him well last night, but I didn't. He made sure I didn't suspect a thing. And I didn't.I rolled his sleeves and he quietly watched me as I rolled his shirt up, but it refused to move further at a particular spot, so I stopped rolling. Ignoring the look he was gi
Davis's POV"How's Gideon?" I asked over the phone. Vincent and I had been speaking for more than an hour already. He had called to ask how we were doing.Although we spoke every day, there were some days that we spoke longer than usual. We just wanted to make sure we were all doing alright with the decision that I made. And the more I hear of the things he does as Capo, the more I am the happiest that I made the right decision making him the Capo of New York. He has chosen Gideon as his right-hand man, Jack remains there too. That same night Vincent was made Capo of New York, he had called me his godfather. According to him, he wouldn't do anything if I didn't accept the role as his godfather, so I agreed. Now, he doesn't decide without me knowing about it first and agreeing to it. He was deliberate in making me take part in everything he does for New York. Everything had returned to normal. Raymond's bad blood has been washed away. No one asked about the man even after his disappe
Grace's POV After the cutting of the cake, the M.C. made an announcement saying there was something the groom wanted to say. My head swags quickly to the side, what does he have in mind this time? I watched Davis wink at me before he got up from where he sat. He had taken off his suit, leaving his inner shirt that he happened to rip the sleeves off, making the shirt a sleeveless shirt, revealing his tattoos, which I have come to fall in love with. He made his way to the center of the hall where the M.C. stood and took the mic from him. There was a wide smile on his lips as he turned to me, my heart skipped multiple beats."Let's welcome my wife, Grace Davis Stone as she joins me on stage. I love you, baby"I tried to hide my face but there was no way that was happening, not when the spotlight was sent my direction. I stood up and made my way calmly to where Davis stood. He took my hand and pulled me to his side. His hand naturally fell on my hip."I have a gift for you" I cocked m
Davis's POVShe finally said those vows, I made sure of it. I knew she wanted to escape it, but I didn't let her. She cried all she wanted, completely staining my suit, but I didn't mind it, as far she said those vows. And even though we were on our way to a hall for the reception, I could still hear the words she said playing in my ears again and again. “My Davis Stone, my capo, and my Don, I love you. I have always wanted a calm and innocent man as a husband. But what's the fun in there? You, my love, have made my once boring life filled with activities. We had laughed and cried together, and absolutely nothing could separate us. They had tried but failed” She raised my hand and kissed the back of it, “Thank you. Thank you for loving me so much, I don't know how I saw a cold, heartless man before. You're a bundle of warmth that I love to cuddle in bed every night. You're the epitome of beauty. I adore you. I promise to remain by your side through thick and thin, and even when the
Two Weeks Later Grace's POVI stood outside the church as I waited for the door to open up for me. The minute the door opened was the same minute the music began to play. Mr. Choi held my left hand as he walked me down the aisle. The smile on my face was covered by the veil I was asked to wear. I doubt if anyone would even notice that I am pregnant. The white gown hugged my body tightly, revealing my shape beautifully. Davis had personally picked this gown.It was so beautiful, I fell in love with it at first sight as well. Mr. Choi immediately agreed when Davis and I went to meet him to walk me down the aisle. He was even so excited, he explained that he only had two boys, so he wasn't opportune to walk anyone down the aisle. Today is one of the best days of my life, that was why I couldn't stop smiling. No matter how I tried to keep it cool, it was just very hard. Getting closer to the altar, I could see Davis staring at me. He changed his haircut, making him look younger and sex
Davis's POV“You're awake” I walked over to the bed and kissed Grace on the cheek. She hummed before wrapping both hands around my waist. She had slept till the next morning and even woke up late. “How are you?” I asked her as I took her hand and kissed the back of it, “I'm fine” Her gaze remained on me as she looked at me intensively, her hand reached for my cheek and she caressed it, “I miss you” and I smiled. The expression on my face immediately changed as I said to her, “Sorry I came late” But she shook her head, “You were just in time” “Thanks” I kissed her forehead. “Rub your body on mine. I can't get over the thought of having that stinky being touch me. Touch me, touch me”Although she said it so I could laugh, I knew she was serious because of how she literally rubbed her body on mine. “Do you want to take a bath? Although I have taken my bath, we could still shower together” “Will you bathe me?” She asked with puppy eyes and I chuckled. “Anything for the pregnant
Davis's POVWe finally went home. Grace happened to have fallen asleep in the car, in my arms. She refused to let go even when I wanted to drop her on the bed. She must have been so scared. I had to stay with her while Helen watched us in bed. I caressed her red face. I wish I had come earlier. The bastard had hit her so hard, that I could see the marks on her face. He even dared to climb on her. That bastard son of a thousand fathers.Vincent had gone to lock him up in the dungeon, even though he looked like a living corpse already. He still needed a little more torture before I, personally, finished him off. Adriana happens to be the happiest when she heard we didn't just kill him. She had made her way to the dungeon after finding out that he was there. Margaret didn't go, but was heading towards Florida when I left them. “What did the doctor say, Daddy?” Helen asked as she lay on the other side of her mother. The doctor had come over to check up on Grace. I didn't want to take
Davis's POVJack had called, saying Raymond was at the outskirts of the city in an abandoned hotel. When we got there, I didn't care to know whose men they were. I didn't care to know if they were really Raymond's men or not as they weren't really using their red clothes, we killed anyone who came our way. Shooting continued as I made my way up the stairs in search of Grace. Her screams made me know where she was. I have never heard her scream so fearfully before, my heart tightened in my chest as I cursed under my breath. I forced myself not to yell back as I traced the voice to one of the rooms. The minute I barged into the room, my anger intensified when I saw Raymond on top of my wife! I didn't know how I got there and how I flung the bastard off her. My jaw clenched, and my angry eyes observed her body, before searching for something to cover her. How dare the son of a bitch try to rape my wife! He dared touch her body!I thought I was angry enough knowing he kidnapped her, b
Grace's POVI have never been this useless in my entire life. Everything about the man stinks so badly that I wanted to throw up. The minute his hands touched my boobs, I burst into tears. I didn't want my skin anymore, I wanted it to be changed. How dare he touch me! I was Davis's woman. I belonged only to Davis, no man should touch me, especially not Raymond. The minute his hand traced my skin, I couldn't help but scream for Davis to come and save me. I would kill myself if Raymond dared to have his way with me. I won't be able to live with that ever. When we heard the gunshot, I expected Raymond to pause and maybe ask his men what was going on, but he was lost. He was filled with lustful desires that he wasn't thinking about. The gunshots became louder and they weren't just one. I could tell that something was going on but Raymond didn't seem to care. It was like his ears had gone deaf. I wish he could just get away me and go check what was going on but he didn't. It was like he
Raymond's POV“Tie them up!” I walked behind the three men who had stepped into the room dragging a woman with them. Grace sat up immediately on the bed, I smirked when I saw the look of fear in her eyes. The lady whom the three men had brought in just kept screaming like a loud dog. I ignored her as she was dragged to the bed, I made my way to where Grace sat, “My love, meet my sweetheart, Florida. Florida, meet my love, Grace. We will be having a happy moment tonight. What do you think?” I watched how Grace's eyes widened as she looked at Florida. The girl was screaming and crying. Weakling. One reason I love Grace more than her. Grace was brave enough to face the situation head-on, and I trust it would be pleasurable for us all. After they had tied Florida, they made their way to where Grace sat. “Raymond, what is this?” She asked as she saw the men coming to tie her as well. “Don't worry, honey. I won't hurt you. I just want to have a lovely moment with you both. I have al
