FIVE YEARS BACKCLINTONS POV“Yes boss, they are not her birth parents, she was adopted.”“Good, where are her birth parents, we need to make a way for them to meet,” I suggested.“They are dead, they had a mafia problem and gave their daughters up for adoption before they were killed.”“Their daughters? Does she have a sister?”“Yes but we can’t find anything about her, the family who adopted her are either poor or richer.”“Alright no problem, are you sure the girl had recovered?” that was my only worry, although the doctors confirmed she had fully recovered I relied on my man’s information.“Yes, she’s back in her house as we speak, they bought the accident cover up, even she don’t remember what really happened, she is bound to believe it soon,” he confirmed which put my spirit in relief, at least now I knew she was fully okay. I was receiving another call when I opened my girlfriend's apartment, I ended the call with him and picked the incoming call.“Mom.” “I saw the news, it
ONE YEAR AGOCLINTONS’ POV“You can not just move, what about us?”“Sophia I told you I need to, it’s not like we have something going on apart from our daughter.”“I know and that’s my main concern, Kiara is so attached to you, this won’t be easy for her. Just come back please,” she begged.“No I can’t, I have a business to run and as for my daughter I will give her my full attention, I’ll make sure she spends her weekends with me, I just can’t let her stay here with me as it might risk her life,” I explained to her but she didn’t seem to listen.“And I won’t let you take my daughter from me, it’s either you come back to us or forget about Kiara.”“You know you’re putting me in a tricky position, I can’t leave here.”“Then forget about your daughter,” she said and hung up.I called her back but she didn’t pick up, later it went to voice message. Frustrated, I walked out of my apartment and headed to the bar. I needed a drink to cool me down.“Jardin, let’s meet at the club.”“Alright
PRESENTJESSICA’S POV“Auch..” my brain complained in pain as my eyes adjusted to light. I looked around and immediately realized I was in a hospital due to the white walls and my surroundings.I sat up and my eyes landed on him —the monster.“Hmmm..” I started struggling which woke him up as he ran to my side, he tried reaching for my hands but I pushed him off me, how can I allow a monster to come this close to me. “Doctor! love it’s me your husband,” he looked confused but I looked away, now the reason he married me made sense —he killed my parents and married me for his own selfish reasons.“I know there are wild thoughts going on in your head now but I’ll explain everything to you, I just want to clear that I truly love you and very much regret what I did,” he explained which calmed me down but still made sure he was far from me.“I don’t know how to explain what I did honestly but what you should know is I never cheated on you with Layla, she kissed me, I just let her because I
I felt my heart beat faster for her, I knew the feeling as it’s the same I went through with Jade.“I couldn’t believe my eyes, I asked him what about us and reminded him about the promises he made to me and my son but he didn’t care, he instead asked me to move on. I was hurt, broken, thinking that I lost my family because of him, I didn’t care that we were in the street, I grabbed his tie and shook him and that’s when a woman pushed me aside, she asked me to stay away from her husband,” she swallowed her saliva then continued.“I thought since he destroyed my life let me destroy his, I narrated everything to the woman, how he took me from my family and how he abandoned me and my son but she didn’t care, she told me life wasn’t fair and suggested I move on as clearly he was her husband. She walked to their car without a worry and Tho
CLINTONS’ POVI couldn’t believe my wife feared me now, I understood as I was a criminal, who could ever love such a man but the thought killed me, as I walked out of her ward I bumped into my mom.“Mom,” I nearly broke.“You’re strong Clinton, this never brings you down.”“She hates me mom, my presence scares her, I don’t want her to fear me, I want her to love me.”“Just give her time son,
CLINTONS’ POV“I’m ready to play, I hope you’re ready too. Oh wait, we only have a son today.”“Please let him go, he didn’t do anything to you,” I tried to plead with him.“Yes but one has to pay for their fathers deeds and it so happens that this time it’s this little bastard,” he said, the muzzle of the gun pointing to my son.“What happened between me and your sister was strictly business, she understands that already why can’t you?”“Because I’m not my sister, she can easily be manipulated but not me. Do you know what my sister went through to save me?” he took steps towards me.“My sister is my hero, she went through so much just to make sure I had everything, she sacrificed her youth for me. When my parents died I swore to protect her with my life, that’s why I’m not afraid that you’re a mafia, nobody messes with my sister and gets away with it.”“And you call yourself a man, using a baby to have your revenge?” I wanted to provoke him.“Kneel down!” he ordered, it seems to be
JESSICA’S POV“You’ll be fine dear sis, I know you’ll be,” Grace was encouraging me, I just nodded as my voice couldn’t bring out a word still.A knock was heard on my door and Grace asked the person to come in, a woman I didn’t want to see walked in.“Hello,” she looked uncomfortable.“Yes you are?” Grace was rude.“I’m Layla, I came to talk to Jessie, if she doesn't mind please,” she rubbed her palms together.“Well, she’s listening,” Grace was overprotective.“I don’t even know where to start, can I talk to her privately please,” she suggested but Grace declined.“Clinton asked me not to leave her side even for a second, so anything you have to say, you need to say it in my presence.”“Alright umm.. I just want to apologize and clear some things between me and Clinton, umm..” she was nervous but I remained focused on her to show her that I was listening.“Clinton and I, there was never really us. I’m —I’m the one who seduced him. I invited him for dinner in exchange for partner but
It’s been a month, we were back at home, both Clinton, I and Journey had recovered.Layla’s brother was sentenced to death in prison while Layla seemed to be making waves in business as she had been on multiple interviews as the most successful business women, everything was falling into place although I still searched for my sister.I had signed over the Thompson’s house right to my aunt which made her happy, she was worried that I would take over her family’s house while I was not even part of her family. She was glad I gave it back —I didn’t need it. Although she didn’t apologize for how she treated me I could see how sorry she was. I was in the kitchen preparing lunch while Clinton was helping Kiara with her homework —Journey was probably playing in his walker.My bump was starting to show and with the doctor's news he told us we might be expecting twins, we both prayed there were twins as then we’ll have only two babies left. We were set to make our goal —six children.I was hum
