I put a hold on following Lily. I still wanted my life back, but I was now focused on one specific person, Daniel.I was following him, getting his schedule down.He left his house at exactly seven in the morning. I would watch as his beautiful wife would walk him to his car, kiss him goodbye, and wave him off as he drove to work.He would get to work by half past eight, where he would stay in there till around noon.He would go to the country club or the bar opposite it, where I met him, and he seemed to be trying to find my replacement. I guess he didn't care if I was around or gone, which for some reason hurt my feelings. I expected him to at least acknowledge I was gone, and take some time to replace me.Then get lunch at a specific restaurant, and he always wanted his lunch made a specific way or he would throw a fit.Take his lunch to go and go back to the office, where he would stay till seven in the evening. Go to that apartment, andRelated chapters

(Lily’s POV)I made sure to ask the doctor to forward me the test results via email. I decided to make a video to Alphonso explaining everything that happened from the point we crossed paths, to how I felt about him, to Lola coming to demand her life back and me refusing to give it back, up to where I got pregnant with his child, and even attaching the doctor’s report.I didn't plan on giving it to him, but instead I sent it to Nine with explicit instructions on what to do.I was sure Lola was going to want her life back now that she had nowhere else to turn. And she wasn't going to be nice about it.I, on the other hand, was happy to be having a child of my own.“How are you feeling today?” Alphonso asked when he came back from work and found me and Frank in the living room watching some children's movies.“I am feeling good, actually; maybe I should think about going back to work tomorrow.” I stated.“Not before we get the doctor's results.” He insisted

(Chris’ POV)I was bored with the older woman I was living with. I had been saving up some money I had been taking from her account for when I was ready to leave.I had racked up around two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and I was ready to leave.But I felt like I needed much more.I had organized for us to have this sensual massage session, where I would be massaging her while she massaged me.“Baby, I am even ashamed to ask you this, but I am in deep trouble.” I said this while I was massaging her.“Is it something I can help you with?” She asked as she moaned softly at the massage I was giving her.I sighed, “Or never mind.”She turned to look at me.“You know you can tell me anything, right?”“Remember that time I came home with bruises and I told you I was mugged?”She nodded.I hung my head in shame and said, “That wasn't true.”She placed her hand on mine to try to reassure me that she was there for me.“I actually

(Alphonso’s POV)Lily had already started shopping for the decorations, so I wanted to surprise her by getting Frank's present early.She said I needed to get something big, so I decided to get him a car. More of a toy car, but a car nonetheless. Also a bike and a game someone his age could play.I felt proud of my gifts.I packed everything in the car. I was going to bring them to my study when Frank went to sleep.I got into the car, and as I started the car to drive, I got a call.“Am I speaking to Mr. Alphonso Gambino?” The man on the other end asked.“This is him,” I replied, unsure of what I was expecting to hear.“Would you come to Grayson Hospital? There is a woman here who claims to be your wife…” That was all I needed to hear.“I am on my way.” I answered and hung up.I wasn't very far from that hospital, and with how I drove, I was sure I broke every speed limit. It was a surprise that I wasn't pulled over by a cop.I walked in

(Lola’s POV)I was out of cards to play, so the only other thing I could think of doing was getting rid of Lily Sharpe. I needed to have my life back, and if she was gone, then I would get to control the narrative of how everything happened.I had the knife I used on Daniel in my possession. When Michael, that bastard, turned against me, he must have pulled the knife out of Daniel’s leg and dropped it on the floor.I made sure to cover my face with a hoodie while I waited a few feet away from the company building.I also had a line of sight to Chris’ car. He, unlike Sharpe, wasn't always looking around at his surroundings.When Sharpe walked out of the building, I started to walk slowly towards her. I hid my small frame in the middle of the crowd of people who were leaving work for home.My eyes kept shifting between Sharpe and Chris; unfortunately, Chris noticed me, and I had a small window of time, so I increased my speed and got to her just in time to stab

(Alphonso’s POV)There was something that didn't sit right with me about Lily's story.Like if they were torturing her for information and she was strapped down, would they just hold her head and hands in place but not her feet?I noticed that as she was wearing her heels, she insisted on very expensive clothing as ‘she didn't want to be seen in tatters.’Most people put comfortability before style when leaving the hospital, but not Lily.“Are you sure you can walk in heels?” I asked, concerned that she was still too weak to even stabilize herself and needed me to help her get out of bed.She smiled and said, “I won't be walking much; I'll be wheeled to the doors of the hospital, and you can carry me to the car.”I thought it was interesting that she would just assume I'd carry her to the car.But a nurse walked in with a wheelchair.“Mr. Gambino,” she smiled and gave me a nod.“Hello?!” Lily called out passively, “maybe stop smiling at my husband and just get me out of this bed.”I w

(Lily’s POV)A few weeks have passed since I left the hospital. Chris had been nice to me and very supportive.My baby bump was starting to form, and I was starting to be one of those annoying women who would love to tell anyone that looked at them that I was pregnant.Chris had moved us into this small town; I doubt it could be found online, maybe on a map, and I had begun baking and selling it to the people around town.“You don't have to stay here with me; I am more than capable of taking care of myself.” I told Chris as he helped me get the freshly baked cookies out of the oven.“Why would I do that? I am enjoying life as a baker now.” He joked.I chuckled as I shook my head. “This is the life I wanted, but you don't belong here. You are a city person.”He frowned. “What does that even mean?”“It means that sooner or later, this life is going to get boring for you.” I replied honestly.He shrugged, “and until then, I'll be here to help you.” He replied, “besides you will also get

(Lola’s POV)Alphonso had been acting weird. He didn't want me sleeping in the same bed as him, so he moved me to the guest room.I was so mad at him but I decided to let it go.His reasoning was that he didn't know exactly who to trust and needed to confirm my story.I'm guessing Lily must have been a very good wife to him if he had to second-guess who his real wife was.He also wouldn't let Frank, our son, near me. I wasn't so mad about that, but considering he didn't want me in his bed, I needed a bargaining chip, and the child was it.I decided to be the mother I never was.I didn't work, so I would give Catherine the day off and go get Frank myself.“What do you want to do with mommy today?” I asked him with a smile planted on my face.He was less than five-years-old I doubt I needed to do too much to win him over. Especially if Lily was a great mother, he’ll just think I&rsq

(Lily’s POV)I had been obsessively baking and cleaning ever since I saw Alphonso on the news. I baked so much that Chris had to help me take the treats I had baked to a homeless shelter on the next town over, where I met Kay’s father working. I didn’t even know he worked there.“What brought you to these part of town?” He helped me with the box of treats I was carrying.I smiled, “I have just been a little restless of late and I had to find a way to divert that energy, so I baked.”Chris walked in behind me with another box filled with treats.Julian, Kay’s father, chuckled, “you must have had a lot of energy if you had enough to bring all the way here.”“I didn’t even know you didn’t work in the town.” I mentioned, as the three of us walked further into the homeless shelter.“I don’t really. I just volunteer here during my free time.” He smiled at me.“That’s impressive that you have the time to do this, on top of being a full time father.” Chris chimed in.Julian shrugged, “I try t

They had formed such a close friendship, including Sienna too despite her young age, and so had their parents.Gemma couldn’t wait to share the news with Lily. And the first thing to show her was the engagement ring.“Oh my god that is so beautiful, I guess he finally popped the question?” Lily asked loud enough to capture Oscar’s attention.“Rushing it actually.” Oscar responds, and he turns to Alphonso, “and you’ll be my best man an

(Third Person’s POV)It was close to the day Lily was to give birth to her little baby girl, and Alphonso seemed to be the nervous one. He was walking around looking at whether he had everything that Lily was going to need at the hospital gathered together.“Should I bring the fluffy or comfy pillow?” Alphonso wondered out aloud as he weighed the options in front of him.He turned to Lily – who was casually lying on the couch in a dolphin onesie eating crisps covered in ice cream.“You know the due date is usually just an estimation by the doctor, right?” She stuffed a bunch of ice creamed covered crisps in her mouth.“The doctor said the due date is likely tomorrow, and I think it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.” Alphonso replied with shrug, “I will go with a comfy one. I think at that point you’ll value comfort above everything else.”Frank joined their p

(Noah’s POV)It had been almost two weeks, and the person I had assigned to watch Diana’s other apartment still had nothing to report to me.If Diana wasn’t staying there, then where the hell was she?!I kept trying to call her phone, but it kept going straight to voicemail. Was she listening to this?I left another message.This time leaving out all the threats and curses.“I just want us to talk about this, Diana. Come back home, and we can have a level-headed conversation about this. We don’t need to ruin our marriage.” I took a deep breath. “I even asked Lola to leave and told her I wanted nothing to do with the child. You are the one I want to have a family with, Diana. Now please call me back.”I hung up after leaving the message.It had taken me a while, but I noticed that I hadn’t seen Lola in a while. I looked around the house, and I was definitely

(Lola’s POV)It had been over a week since Diana left. The trip was supposed to be for a week, but Noah seemed oblivious to this. I knew that Diana was planning something.I had snuck into her room, and there was almost nothing in the closet. Her jewellery was gone. Most of her clothes, shoes and bags.I cursed under my breath; she was leaving this idiot, and he didn’t even worry about it. Or notice it.It was time I went back to my life, back to Alphonso.I started to scope out the apartment. It had been a long since I was there, and I wanted to know what to expect. But all I had seen so far was Frank and Catherine. Never Alphonso.I even tried to sneak into the apartment once, but the locks had been changed.I had lost all my leverage. But I was still Frank’s mother, and I was going to use that to my advantage.“Where did you go?” Noah asked as he came into the house from scoping

(Chris’ POV)Alphonso, Lily, and Frank definitely didn’t spend just an hour together. I was at the parking lot, staring down at Alphonso’s truck.In my mind, I was debating whether or not I wanted to break into the car and see what I could find.But his truck was parked in a place where people would definitely see me if I went and started snooping around his car.I decided to finally go and throw the hook at Denning to see if she would catch what I wanted her to.I handed her a cup of coffee—good coffee, not from the hospital.“I thought you could use some pampering.” I gave her a sweet smile, turning on my charm.“I have been on my feet the whole night.” She complained, but hugged the coffee gratefully. “I have just four more hours left in my shift, then I could go home.” She didn’t seem to even notice my charm, most women do and I don’t have to

(Alphonso’s POV)I closed the door to the bathroom after seeing the man in the shower.“Why did you bring him to where we live with Frank?!” I asked Gemma, shocked that after she gave me a lecture about being reckless, she would do this around my kid.She sighed, “About Frank. I have arranged for Catherine to pick him up at the private airstrip.”“Who will Frank be traveling with?” I inquired.“The pilot is a trusted friend of mine. I have communicated with Catherine, and she has agreed to pick him up. I spoke with Oscar, and he will be letting Abigail and Frank spend more time together; in the meantime, we will be cleaning stuff up here in Deadwood.” Gemma seemed to have thought of everything.I pointed to the door and said, “I think he is too doped up to even formulate a single word.”“I doubt he even knows that he is no longer at Chris’ h

(Diana’s POV)Time always seemed to fly by when I was with Sean. But this time I had my wits with me and didn’t try to sleep with him.He did, however, call me to make sure I got home alright, and it was the small gestures he made that Noah didn’t bother with that made me want to file for divorce even faster.The next morning, I was at the accountant’s office. I wanted to sort out the issues with my finances first, so that the divorce lawyer could have an entire picture of what we were dealing with.“Diana Adams?” An older woman called out my name.“Brett Hunter?” I asked in confusion.The woman chuckled. “You were under the impression that I was a man?”I shook my head, but I was sure my eyes betrayed me.She gestured for me to follow her, “Don’t worry about it. My father knew what he was doing, as my name is what got me here. And my super

(Chris’ POV)I decided to go home and pack; maybe find my way out of Deadwood. Lily didn’t seem to notice me with Alphonso around, and staying at this point was just doing more harm than good.All I needed now was to give Ben a bad batch of drugs; he overdoses, and I throw him in some corner as I leave Deadwood.I was back at the house to find Ben gone!I cursed under my breath as I ran around every room in the house, trying to find him.“Ben?! Where the fuck are you?!” I called out; I didn’t know if I thought he would respond back, but it didn’t hurt to try.He was too drugged up to be able to leave this house alone. But I wasn’t sure of his state; I had been spending most of my time at the hospital with Lily.I didn’t know why, but I felt this burst of anger towards her. How dare she?I took care of her after that crazy wife Alphonso has stabbed her and left her

(Diana’s POV)I didn’t want to go and meet up with Sean. I didn’t even know he had my number. Where did he get my number again?I was in the kitchen making myself some breakfast—glad I didn’t have to take care of Lola anymore—when my phone rang.Unknown caller.I was confused as to who it could be, but I ignored it.“Who was calling you?” Lola asked curiously.I shrugged, “unknown number. Probably a telemarketer or something along those lines.”“Are you sure it’s not the guy you spent the night with?” Lola continued to inquire. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought Noah sent her to spy on me.Noah had been acting a bit weird too late. As if he wanted us to fix our marriage, but he would then turn around and go back to sleep on the same bed with Lola.I picked up my creamy coffee and my phone with the plate of
