"Won't you wake up and scold me for crying like this? Please wake up grandfather, I want to hear you say------"
" A leighton never cries," grandfather said his voice coming out hoarsey followed by coughing loudly,
"Oh my gosh grandfather, you -- you are awake!" Brandon exclaimed in excitement looking around to see if there was any water but when he didn't find any, he ran out of the room going to call the doctor.
Minutes later, he came back with the doctor and nurses following behind and grandfather wasn't coughing as hard as he was minutes ago.
The doctor kicked both boys out of the room but instead of going back to the wait area, they stood by the door.
"Hey what happened? is everything okay? Why did you run off to call the doctor like that?" Kaden frantically asked.
"He woke up!" Brandon exclaimed again, "grandfather has finally woken up!"
The boys went in and Aiden quickly walked towards the bed siting close to him,"Grandpa why did you scare me like that? Didn't you think about my emotions at all," he complained while grandfather just chuckled ruffling his hair"Are you ever going to grow up? When I was your age I was more mature and less you.." he jokedBrandon and Kaden just laughed with Brandon siting on the bed while Kaden sat on the chair that Melissa sat on earlier."How are you feeling grandpa it's good to see you awake," Kaden said" I'm okay and it in deed feels good to be awake, I hated the fact that I could hear bits and pieces of everything but could get up or lift my finger."" You were hearing everything?" Aiden asked." Not everything only bits and pieces," he responded and Aiden's lips curved into a "O"The boys proceeded into telling him ever
Melissa was lying in bed with her head on Kaden's lap both of them in their own worlds staring at their phones.It had been a week since everything happened and grandfather got discharged from the hospital two days after he woke.They threw him a party were he declared that he was officially going to retire and leave his son and grandsons to take care of everything.Melissa's phone chimed catching the attention of Kaden, he stopped looking at his phone and looked at hers.It was a text message from an unknown number,Melissa opened the text and it said,Unknown: Hey"Who texted?" Kaden dumbly asked dispite seeing that it was an unknown number."I don't know," Melissa shrugged" And what did the text say?" He asked" It just said hey but I'm not responding," she said going back to scrolling through faceb*
"It wasn't my fault, he was being a meany and I just made sure I told him off that's all,""Of course you did," Aaron laughed, " I'm pretty sure that's what even led him to falling for you,""So you are indeed cheating on me!"Both Melissa and Aaron turned to the source of the voice and Melissa's heart beat eccelerated when she saw Kaden standing there with his brothers who had their arms crossed giving her a disappointed look."Kaden," Melissa quickly got up and Aaron did the same, " this isn't what it looks like," she said much too quickly and Aaron just lowered his head in submission.Kaden clenched his hands and stalked towards Aaron, he reached out about to grab him by the throat but Mel stood between them,"Great now you are even defending you lover," Kaden scoffed turning around about to walk away but Mel held his hand,"Kaden you
"Please talk to me Kaden, I want to know what you are thinking about," Melissa asked scooting closer to him but he simply ignored her like a plague.It had been two hours since they came back from the cafe and Kaden had been giving her the silent treatment. He knew that she was telling him the truth but he still acted like a child and ignored her."Please baby say something, atleast yell at me or anything else but just please don't ignore me like this, I can't take this silence anymore please talk to me,' she begged but Kade still turned a deaf ear and only focused on the game he was watching.Melissa sighed looking like she would cry any minute. She felt terrible for leaving and blamed herself for his anger."Please Kaden," she begged again moving closer to him and wrapping her arms around him but he still didn't respond.Neither did he hug her back or do that caressing thing he always did to her each time they were together. All he did was just s
"Grandfather? Father in law?" Melissa looked at the duo in confusion, then shifted her gaze back at Aaron equally giving him a confused look."Hey daughter-in-law," her father-in-law Eric Leighton said, stepping closer to her and kneeling Infront of her so that his face was half a meter away from hers."Father in Law what's going on? What does he mean by he can't help me?" she asked with teary eyes, "please get me out of here, I don't want to die. I want to live with my baby,""I'm sorry Mel but we can't do that. Your death is necessary," he said in an emotionless voice with his face not giving away anything."What do you mean by that? I don't want to die,""What he means is that you have to die," grandfather responded equally drawing closer to her but not kneeling. "you see all these problems in our family are happening because of you and you must die for all of it to be over," his voice was laced with joy as if he was happy to see her in th
"Wakey wakey princess," Kaden heard a voice that startled him awake!He looked around and he was at the beach, with a big wooden building about a quarter mile away from him.He tried to stand up but his hands were tied and about five men were holding him down, and so was his brothers who were lying next to him.The light coming from the moon, abled him to see the face of the men but he couldn't recognise any of them."What the heck is this? Let me go!" he thrashed around trying to free himself but the men were stronger than he was, they held him in such a way that all of his movements were limited.He felt helpless but didn't stop trying to free himself."Who are you? Do you even know who you are messing with! I swear you will all regret this! Let me go now!" He threatened and a chuckled coming from behind him caught his and his brother's attentio
Trigger warning 18+ onlyThe next two or three chapters are about violence and blood, if you easily get triggered by this then please skip. P.s the witter by no means condones violence against women. The scene is necessary for the progressing of the story.******"We are at your disposal sir," Aaron bowed before Kaden who was trying to put himself together and not breakdown In front of his men.Kaden looked at him and in a deep powerful emotionless voice he said, "I want the list of names of every single person that has a hand on her death. All the allies everyone! I want it all in the next hour. Their names and Current location, got it!" He commanded and Aaron quickly nodded his head saying,&n
Scared Anderson was tied down to an electric chair with chains and Kaden just twirled a knife between his fingers. "Now!" He ordered and Aaron pressed a button on the small remote he had. "Aaaah!" Anderson screamed in Pain when He felt the electricity course through his body. "Okay stop!" Kaden order again and Aaron pressed another button, stopping the electric current. Anderson let out pants while sweat trickled down his forehead. "It tastes sweet, right?" Kaden sarcastically said. "please spare me, I'm sorry. I didn't want her to die, hell I didn't even know they were going to kill her. I thought they were just separating your from her please forgive me and let me go----aaaaah!" his pleas were converted into cries of pain when Aaron pressed the button again pain coursing through his body. After a few seconds, Aaron turned
Seven years later "Celeste!" Melissa screamed on top of her voice and the sound of small foot steps were heard running into the living room. "I swear I'm going to kill you little ---" she let the sentence hung and wobbled towards the living room were celeste was sitting on the couch her face hidden in her father's chest. "What did my baby do now?" Kaden asked in amusement while staring at his wife's big baby bump. She was due in just a week. Four years after their wedding, they had twin boys and now she was pregnant again with baby number four. Not only that but six months after the wedding, brandon finally maned up and asked Leah out and two months later she was pregnant with twins boys. Their relationship was on fast forward because the same day he found out she was pregnant he proposed marriage and a month later they were married. Aiden equally found a girl for himself two years ago but their relationship was on off until last year when she fell pregnant although he didn't
"Oh my God I'm so nervous right now!" Melissa said with a nervous laugh as the hair stylist worked on fixing her hair.It has been six months since she got out of the hospital and she and Kaden were finally getting married.The last six months have been nothing but joy and happiness for both Melissa and Kaden even though they had to struggle with Celeste's constant crying every night but luckily Brandon and Leah, her godparents came to the rescue and acted as her baby sitters including Aiden who was still upset that he wasn't one of the godparent even though they assured they would make him one for their next child.In the last six months, Brandon and Leah's relationship has also grown stronger and anyone looking at them could tell they are in love but sadly neither of them wants to make the first move and admit their feelings.Melissa has tried everything she could to urge Leah to tell him but Every
"Hurry up, places everyone. They will be here any minute!" Veronica urged as everyone scrambled around, putting things in order and making sure everything was perfect for the arrival of the new family members.It's been a month and one week since the incident happened and both mother and baby were getting discharged from the hospital.On that fateful day after the doctor came out of the room, he told them that she was in a critical condition due to loss of blood and needed a blood transfusion immediately.Kaden volunteered to give her blood but sadly, it wasn't a match and worse off the blood bank was empty.Everyone went into a fit of panic searching for blood until they found the perfect match who was non other than Leah.She donated her blood in a heart beat and three weeks later, Melissa woke up from a coma.The doctors didn't let her leave even after she
"Ahhh!" Melissa let out a scream of pain holding her stomach, blood covering her hand."Mel!!" Everyone rushed towards her as Hannah who had just been shot by Leah fell on the floor limp with her eyes wide open."My baby!" Melissa whispered in pain.Kaden looked down and blood was covering one side of the bump while the shorts she was wearing rapidly became wet with blood and what looked like water."Oh no she has been shot and is going into labour!" Aiden said in horror and without thinking twice, Kaden picked her up in his arms, running out of the building with his brothers and Leah following while his father and their men stayed back to make sure Hannah was truly dead."Please save my baby, I don't want to lose her," Melissa whispered again.Sweat mixed with tears trickling down her face,She was in a lot of pain to such an exten
"Let me go you stinking animals!" Melissa said to the men while they dragged her into a large and empty hall-looking room that had about four armed guards moving around on high alert. They had already removed the cloth that was on her mouth and the sac on her head. "I swear I'm going to lose my temper and hit this woman! I don't even know why the boss told us to ungag her. Damn, I hate nagging women," one of the guards complained. "Well, I could make it easier for you if you could just let me go! How dare you even kidnap me! Do you even know who I am!" She yelled at them again and all they did was drag her towards the metallic chair that gracefully sat in the middle of the room. They made her sit on the chair and each one of the guards held her arm making sure she wasn't doing anything stupid. "You all will pay for this, I will make sure you regret doing this to me you
Meanwhile"I'm so excited about this!" Hannah said taking the divorce papers from the table. She flipped through them and the widest grin in history spread across her face, " I will just go take these to court and finalize the divorce, see you guys later, and Kaden make sure you treat Angelica right, she's your wife now and deserves all your love and care," she added giving him a small hug and walking out of the house.Kaden let out a sigh and Angelica just awkwardly stood there not knowing whether to stay or leave."And this woman," Aiden looked at her and she lowered her gaze, "just because he signed those divorce papers doesn't mean he will stay with you. As soon as he finds a way to end all of this, I will personally kick you out!" He threatened and Angelica silently looked on." Don't worry Aiden, she already has a man in her life, she's been forced to do this just like me," Kaden explaine
"Then why did they bring you back knowing full well that she was still lurking around?" Kaden softly spoke cupping her face." Because they want to lure her out plus If I didn't come then you wouldn't have know she was the mastermind now, would you?"" I found out she was the mastermind a month ago and I've been secretly trying to find a way to make her pay!"" Wait you know? But Aiden and Brandon --- they told me that---""I didn't tell them about it," he let go of her cheeks and ran his hand in his hair, "I kept it a secret from them because I didn't want Hannah to ease drop on our conversation and know that I know. Listen baby it's dangerous for you and Celeste to be here, please listen to me and leave. She already told me that if you don't do it then she will kill you for real this time," he pleaded."But I don't want to. What if she tries something that will make you f
"No this isn't true, tell me this isn't true Kaden, tell me that you are lying and that I'm the only woman that you love!" Mel said standing in front of him and shaking him lightly."Miss Young please, I don't have any feelings for you okay, I'm in love with someone else who isn't you, so stop daydreaming! I can never love you," he said looking her dead in the eye but Mel could see that he didn't mean it, she wasn't ready to believe what he was saying."Yes miss Young," the lady Angelica said with a warm smile. She held Kaden's arm and lay on his shoulder, "He is all mine now please stop touching my man, I'm very possessive,"Mel felt all the strength leave her body,She stumbled back and Brandon, Aiden and Leah rushed towards her, giving her support.She looked back at Kaden and for a moment she saw fear and worry flash in his eyes but it quickly dissolved."Son wha
"We are waiting Mel, we deserve to know what happened," Aiden coax and Mel let out a soft sigh sitting on the couch,"Okay, I will tell you everything. That day after Tasha finished pouring gasoline on me and she and her workers left, father and Grandfather came.At first, I thought that they were really going to watch me die because that's what they said that I needed to die in order to catch the criminal.I accepted my fate and they drugged me with chloroform to help me get a 'peaceful' painless death. I passed out and when I woke up, I was in the hospital with Leah at the bedside waiting for me to wake up. I was shocked and thought I was in heaven until grandfather and father in-law came and explained everything to me including how Kaden tortured and killed the people who were behind everything.After they explained, I ask both grandpa and father-in-law to let me come back to you guys but he refused because----" she posed for a while taki
