“Arya...calm down I’m fine." Cesar told her. "No, there’s no need to come over.” He didn't know why he'd unblocked her number but now he was wishing he hadn't. He'd been talking to her for almost ten minutes now and he felt a headache coming on.

Arya kept rambling on the phone making Cesar sigh. She was clearly very worried and wouldn’t rest until she saw him. He didn't want her to come. She'd want to hug him and he wouldn't be able to stand it.

“Mom!”. He cut her off.

Arya went silent.

“Thank you." He breathed. "I’m fine. I’ll send you a photo if you want proof.”

“That’s fine." She said in a shaky voice. "I’m so glad you’re okay Cesar.”

“Yeah.” He muttered. "Thanks for calling."

“Can I send you ice cream? I know you like rocky road.”

“Uh…okay". Cesar said. "Sure.”

“Give me...ten minutes. Kisses.” She hung up.

Cesar dropped his phone on his bedside table with a sigh.

“You okay?I heard you yelling at someone.” Ellie walked into the bedroom.

“I wasn’t yelling…per se." He said. "Arya wou

    Cesar was worried about Ellie because she'd refused to go out after that bombing incident. She also had nightmares about Cassandra trying to kill her and it didn't help that Tristan seemed to agree with her that the woman would stop at nothing until Ellie was dead. He didn't know why Cass was hell bent on seeing Ellie dead even after she found out the whole truth about how Belle tried to kill Miesa. Granted, Belle was her niece and she wouldn't want to see her hurt but better Belle being in a coma than Miesa dead. He tapped his finger against his chin in thought as he stared at the TV without really seeing it. It'd been a few weeks since the incident but it still seemed like it happened yesterday. People were still talking about it and he knew that more one television presenter wanted to interview him to talk about that particular incident but as usual he'd declined. They knew better than to ask for an interview but they did so anyway which annoyed him. Thankfully they didn't ambu

    A Week later“Sir...Dom has arrived.” David informed Cesar.“Finally! I thought he’d never get here." Cesar rolled his eyes. "Bring him here.” It had only been a week of waiting for the guy to finally get his butt here but it had felt like years and Cesar hated waiting for anyone. If not that he really needed the guy, he'd have just let him go. Find someone else to do the job.David nodded and left. Five minutes later he returned with Dominic.“Thank you David." Cesar waved him away. "Sit Dom.” He gestured to the chair in front of his desk. "I’ve been waiting for you.”“Why?”. Dom asked.“David didn’t tell you?”. Cesar arched a brow.Dom shrugged.Cesar picked up some pictures and passed it to Dom who took it and checked it out. The indifferent expression on his face turned stormy which surprised Cesar.“Cassandra Nash.” Dom spat.“Yes.” He nodded.“You know her?.” Dom asked.“Not personally." Cesar said. "I have scores to settle with her.”“She hurt you?”. Dom rumbled.“Tried to blow

    The next day “Oh my God!". Ellie exclaimed suddenly as she stared at her iPad. She looked horrified and he wondered what she'd seen that could have made her look that way. “Are you okay?Is it the baby?”. Cesar asked. He hoped it wasn't the baby. They were still within the vicinity of the airport and a hospital surely wasn't nearby that they could take her to. "Talk to me." They were on their way to Evie’s from the airport and the kids were asleep. “No! Look." She thrust her iPad in front of him. "Cassandra Nash and her family are dead...all of them.” Cesar read the news article and felt no remorse whatsoever that Cassandra was dead. Infact he wanted to celebrate and shout from the rooftop that they were finally free. He still had enemies but they were ones who wouldn't dream of trying to hurt him and his family. Not if they valued their lives. “You’re not saying anything." Ellie spoke up when he kept staring at the news article and pictures. Cesar returned her iPad. “I have noth

    Tristan dreaded going back to the home he'd grown up in. He'd been treated worse than a slave. Spat on, abused and whatnot and he'd thought he'd never have to come back but here he was staring at the house whilst seated in the car. He'd been too excited to see Abby so he'd left his aunt Evie's house two hours earlier forgetting that Abby's school didn't let out until two pm and it was just one pm so he had to wait one hour before he could see her. His phone rang bringing him out of his thoughts and he took it out of his pocket, sighed then answered the call."Hey Gwen." He said. Ever since he started following her on Instagram and other media platforms, she somehow got her hands on his phone number and had been disturbing him since then. He liked her, she was a very nice girl and all that but he didn't want to get her hopes up continuing this charade. She was just eight years old so she had no business crushing on him or any boy for that matter."Hi! Are you busy?". She asked."Yea

    Cesar stood on the balcony just staring at nothing in particular. It was the last day of their stay in South Africa and they'd enjoyed every bit of it. Sun City was fun but they had to go back home and he had to go back to work.He and Ellie had gone for her check up today and everything was looking good but Ellie hadn't wanted to know the sex of the baby so he'd told the doctor to whisper it in his ear which made him smile like a Cheshire cat."You're not allowed to do that." Ellie had protested hitting him immediately they walked out of the office. "That's called cheating.""No it's not." He'd complained. "I have a right to know if I want to."She had huffed which made him smile. She went silent for a long time even as they got into the car and Warren drove away from the hospital so he turned to look at her."You're not mad, are you?". He asked. "I can unknow it if you want."That brought a half smile to her face. "Unknow it?there's no word like that." She scoffed. "No I'm not mad.

    Months later “Cesar!”. Ellie screamed. "Cesar!”. Cesar rushed into the closet and stopped short when he saw Ellie holding her stomach and she was breathing heavily. He looked down at the floor and made a face. “Did you pee on yourself?”. He asked. “My water just broke idiot!". She snapped. "The baby’s coming!”. Cesar froze as he stared at her. “What?”. “Cesar!”. She screamed. Cesar jumped. “What do I do?”. “He’s asking me stupid questions!." She exclaimed through gritted teeth as she tried not to scream out. "Hospital!”. Cesar nodded and yelled for Maia to get the baby bag before he proceeded to lift Ellie up in his arms but he didn’t expect her to beat him up. “Hey!what now!”. He protested. "I'm taking you to the hospital." “I’m in my underwear idiot!." She gestured to her body. Cesar looked at her and bit his cheek to stop himself from laughing then he nodded and went to get her a dress. “I have to change first." Ellie said. “You’re cranky." He stated drily and went to

    "Mama!." Miesa Devane whined just as the end credits to her favorite cartoon rolled. "I'll be late for school if you don't hurry. It's Monday after all.""Coming!". Her mother Elyon called. "Is it over?"."Yes." She replied. "Unfortunately." She added as an afterthought.Miesa blew out her breath and stared at the TV. Her favorite cartoon had ended and it was time to leave. They were going different routes and it wasn't easy because her mother didn't have a car. She was scared of driving for one reason or the other which was something that baffled Miesa but her mother had refused to tell her why so she'd no longer bothered asking.She took the remote to turn off the TV when her all time favorite Mexican movie came on so she sat back, interested again but it was that time her dear mother decided it was time to leave. She always had the worst timing.“Mimi..it’s time". Elyon said. She stopped short when she saw the movie. "What…are you watching?". She looked like she'd swallowed a bitt

    "Do you like Children Cesar?”. Elyon asked as she watched him eat. He'd invited her to lunch with him even if she didn't want to but he'd not given her any chance to argue.Cesar looked up from his meal to stare at her with a raised brow. He wondered why she was asking... all of a sudden.“I do.. sometimes.” Cesar replied. "Why do you ask?.” “Sometimes? Not every time?”. She quipped. "That's an odd thing to say."Cesar let out a masculine sigh and dropped his spoon. “Are you going to start lecturing me about my dislike for children Ellie?”. He inquired. “No of course not." Elyon frowned. "And stop calling me Ellie.”“You call me Cesar”. He reminded her.”Isn’t that your name?”. She asked innocently.“It’s Cesari". Cesar said. "Besides I’m your boss.”“So?”. She blurted out.“I demand that you respect me.” He said.“Sure". She sent him a saccharine smile. "Sorry boss.” She didn’t sound sorry at all.Cesar rolled his eyes at her. “You should be happy I’m in a good mood today. That stu

    Cesar and Ellie took Miesa for her monthly checkup and they were very happy when the doctor told them that Miesa’s cancer was in remission but she’d need to continue maintenance therapy for a couple years until they were sure it wouldn’t come back. It was wonderful news for them especially Miesa who'd been worried she'd never get to live forever with her family.“I’m so happy mommy, daddy." Miesa smiled big at them as they walked out of the hospital. "I’m free!”.“Yes baby." Ellie smiled back. "I’m happy too.”Cesar’s phone rang as they got close to the waiting car. He took it out of his pocket and frowned when he saw Tristan’s name on the screen and picked it. Ellie and Miesa decided to go get ice cream while he talked on the phone.“Hey kid, what’s up?”. He asked.“Dad…please please tell me you’re not in the car right now?”. Tristan’s voice shook.“Uh...no. why?”. He frowned.“There’s a bomb. Don’t get…”As if on cue, there was a sudden explosion that threw Cesar off his feet and he

    “How’s Elyon doing?”. Oliver asked Cesar. They were on FaceTime.“Fine. Thank God I got there the time I did or it’d have been a different story.” He said.“And the guys?”. Oliver inquired.“Dead.” Cesar replied flatly. He couldn't have let any one of them go free after what they did. It was not possible.Oliver’s eyes widened. “All of them?”.“Yes. Including...my dad.” Cesar said. Even now he still couldn't believe everything that had happened. That maniac had been his father who'd hurt his mother and his mother had hurt him because he looked like his father and then he killed his father because he'd kidnapped his wife and hurt his mother for the second time. Not that he gave a damn about Arya now… far from it. The damage she'd done to him was enough to last him two lifetimes.“What do you mean? I thought you said your father was dead?”. Oliver looked confused. "I didn't know a person…"“Oh that was just wishful thinking." He stated drily. "Arya told me something else.”“Wow. So you
