NEW YORK ~DAPHNE~ When I woke up, I knew that my baby had been taken out of me and that feeling almost crippled me. I never thought that I would ever give birth prematurely, and the feeling made me feel like my body had failed my baby by being unable to nourish him until he was ready to be born.
JACKSON ~SEBASTIAN~ "Where is he?" "Hands in the air, Oliver, you're surrounded," AJ commanded him as he pointed his gun at them. I readied myself to fire as I took a peek at them at the front door. Oliver simply laughed at AJ's statement as he pushed his wife back inside the house and took
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ I was so angry at Daphne when I left the hospital and went back home. I felt like she made me sympathize with her when she knew that she was going behind Ian's and Sebastian's back by not telling them that she knew where Luke was after he almost got them into trouble. I was e
JACKSON ~SEBASTIAN~ For a moment, as Oliver stood in front of me with one of his guys holding a gun behind my head, my life flashed before my eyes. I thought of Sienna and my promise to her that I would fix everything and get our family to the way it was before. I thought of the baby that she w
JACKSON ~ARIANNA~ The following morning when I flattered my eyes open, I found a plate of food on the floor and even though I wanted to chuck it inside my mouth in one go since I was hungry, I decided not to eat from it. I closed my eyes and slept on the floor with a blanket underneath me and rel
NEW YORK, JANUARY 2010 ~SIENNA~ "Babe, you need to relax. Look at me," Lawrence smiled. "Take a deep breath and relax, okay?" I looked at his beautiful eyes and breathed. For a moment, I felt a lot better and ready to head out of the car and go to his family house so that he could officially int
JACKSON ~ARIANNA~ "Catch her before she escapes!" A voice shouted behind me as I ran toward a tar road. I gathered up all my strength to run as fast as I could as the van drew closer to me. I knew that if I got away and got help, I would be able to get Noah back home before they could do anyth
JACKSON ~SEBASTIAN~ "If you want to talk with me, untie me, because the way things are right now, you need a deal with me to survive. Not the other way around." I was crossing my fingers, hoping that he wouldn't try anything funny with me before Ian could show up. I wasn't even sure that he wou
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ Sebastian and I were pacing up and down outside Daphne's hospital ward, impatiently waiting for her doctor to come and tell us if she was going to be alright. After we found her unconscious in her apartment in Michigan, Sebastian suggested that we fly her over to New York and a
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ "Come on, I won't hurt you. I know you want this as much as I do, love," Elias whispered in my ear in the bathroom. "I can't, Elias. Luke is sleeping, and besides that, I gave birth 5 weeks ago and can't -" "You can suck my dick if I can't penetrate," he said as he licked my e
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "No, baby, no," I cried. "You can't do this to me. Not now. We have a baby on the way. We need you. We all need you, please," I leaned down on his chest and cried. He was bleeding and losing a lot of blood. But when I heard the police siren sound in the distance, I felt a bit r
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ "Mr. Martinez sent us to bring you this, Miss," two delivery boys reported as they gave me two boxes of gifts. "Oh, thank you." I smiled at them as I took the gifts and closed the door after I was done signing on their clipboard. It had only been two days, but I couldn't cou
NEW YORK ~ARIANNA~ "Tell me when you're home," Noah stated as I hopped out of the Uber outside my house. I had forgotten that I left through the backyard gate as I went to the main gate and asked for security to open up for me. "Yes, I'm home. You can chill now, Rambo." "Rambo?" I chuckled
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ I hardly slept a wink that night, scared of what could happen to me and little Luke if I even closed my eyes for an hour after receiving threatening texts from Luke's wife. After tossing and turning non-stop, I finally got up from the bed, went to the closet, and started packin
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "You're in my den, assholes." Lawrence snarled. "It's either my way or the highway." Sebastian and I were caught off guard when four men emerged from hiding in the room and pointed their guns at us. I swore under my breath, just thinking that we were in deep shit the moment I
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ (KNOCK KNOCK) I jumped when I heard the sudden knock on the door late in the afternoon. Ever since my last call with Ian last night, it had been quiet, and I was so sure that he had decided to stay out of my hair and left me alone. I was still healing from giving birth and
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "Don't worry, once your husband gets here, maybe I will go easy on you." Lawrence whispered in my ear after getting me tied up on a chair. "I never did anything to you. Why are you doing this to me? I don't understand because you're the one who ended our relationship when you f
