Cassidy's birthday came, and we were busy all day. I'm losing my mind, running from one place to the other.

I wasn't supposed to participate in this event other than assist at the party, but Stephanie had the bright idea of taking off to Hawaii for the weekend at the last minute. There for, I had to fill in. To make matters even better, Daniel has been out of the office all morning. Everyone has been running around like crazy and asking for him.

I called mom to help babysit Zoey since Riley had an appointment at the doctor's today, and mom was thrilled to do so. It's been a long time since we had a baby in the Garcia's residence, and Zoey has grown to love mom's goofy side.

Mom's friends always make Zoey laugh. They take her to the park and the zoo and fill mom's living room with toys for Zoey. Last time they ended at Danny's restaurant after taking Zoey golfing with them. Zoey had a blast until she tried stuffing a ball in her mouth. Luckily, mom stopped her, but she began throwing

But cut it short, going back to the house and getting ready. I took a nice hot bath while Daniel checked on Zoey. She had fallen asleep on the way here, and he had to carry her in. I let a good moan escape as I get out of the tub and wrap my body in a towel. The water was still hot, making me want to stay inside more prolonged, but if I waited even five more minutes, I'd probably fall asleep and miss Basti

    Layla (Next Day- Runway Show)"Hugo... Where's Hugo? Have you guys seen Hugo?" dad yells from the top of his lungs frantically. I was doing Ingrid's hair while she fixed her shoe. The runway was starting in just minutes.The whole place was swarming with models, stylists, make-up artists; you name it. I felt giddy myself; I haven't been to one of these things in so long. The curtain moves a little, exposing the outside. The house was pact, and I could see the security guards trying to keep the paparazzi out of place.I move my head around and smile as I see Danny sitting up front, right at the end of the runway. God- he looked handsome. He wore a navy buttoned-up with a light gray suit. It fit him perfectly, making his gray eyes pop even more. It was as if he sensed my staring and turned, smiling and winking at me, making me blush. I smiled, bit my lip, and lowered my head to hide my blushing. "Layla, baby. Have you seen Hugo?" dad asked, making me turn. "Ahh, no, dad. Have you tried

    Layla"That was amazing, baby. You did so good up there. Seriously! I wasn't expecting to see you up there, baby." Danny says, smiling and holding me by my waist. "Layla...Layla!" I hear Nico's voice, making Danny and I turn. He jumped on stage, giving me a huge hug and then turning to Danny to give him a firm handshake, clashing their shoulders together. "Man! That has got to be one of the best runways I have ever seen you guys throw. You were an absolute show stopper, Lay! Please tell me you're going back to modeling! Because you killed it, babe. Seriously, that's all the paparazzi is talking about out there." My eyes went wide at Nico's words.I had no intention of going back. I liked it when I was young, and I enjoyed it, but I never considered it as a career. My heart was set on helping kids, and I love my job with our foundation. "Oh god, no. I only did it to help today. Hugo was short of two girls, and they didn't have anyone else, so I had to help. But after today, no more."

    LaylaI woke up feeling so happy this morning. I lay on my stomach with my arms under my pillow. Danny had his arm and leg wrapped around me, making me sigh. The sight of him sleeping next to me always made me feel happy. I leaned over, kissing his nose and making him smile. If you told me I'd be married, in love, and his arms three months ago, I'd probably laugh and say you were crazy. But yet, here I am, so in love, married, and in his arms."Mornin' beautiful," he says in a groggy-husky voice. I smiled, turning my body and cuddling in his chest, "Good morning, my handsome husband." I reply, making him smile. "What time Is it?" he asks, still with his eyes closed and placing his chin on my head. "I don't know. But the sun is just coming out. Do we have to get up already?" I ask, hoping to stay like this forever."Yeah, I'm afraid so, baby. We have a few things to go over before heading to work," he says, making me groan inwardly. I pout, looking up at him with my puppy eyes. He chuc

    Layla"Hello!" I said for the second time and heard no answer. I was ready to hang up when I heard static, and someone answered on the other line. "Layla, mija, it's me, Carmen. Can you hear me?" my eyes widened in shock as I heard her voice. "Carmenita? Oh, my God, how are you?" I was so excited to hear her voice that I wanted to cry. "Mija, I will cut it short because it's raining really hard over here. Shelley wants to know if you thought about her offer, we miss you, and we want you back. We'll keep waiting for you, mija." I placed my hand over my heart over her words. Doctor Shelley told me she'd call me in a few weeks to see if I had changed my mind about going back, but things have changed since then, and I was no longer interested in going back to work with them. I want to stay with Danny and Zoey. They're my world... My family.I gave Carmen the bad news... Well, bad news for them, at least. But she was happy for me, and that's all it mattered.

I called out for him as I continued to throw up in our communal bathroom. I've been on edge these past few days with the news of Trevor. I hate not knowing where he is or what he's planning. To top off, the bodyguard that Danny appointed to Zoey and me has been extra protective of us that the principal called me saying he had tackled down the new elementary library technician. I guess he hadn't seen them hire a new technician, and when he approached Zoey to help her with her computer on their computer-lab day, he went crazy. Luckily, the school didn't press charges nor tell the press, but Danny laughed the whole time instead of talking to him. It was as if the whole situation had been a silky joke, even giving the guy a high five telling him what a good job he

    LaylaDanny and I lay side by side. My head rested on his chest as we watched a movie. It wasn't late, but I was still drained. Now I know why I have been feeling so tired and restless lately. I was slowly drifting off to sleep, especially since he continued to play with my hair, brushing in slow strokes. I sigh, running my hand across his chest. I still can't believe all that's happened between us. I never thought we would be lying down, watching a movie, and happily married. Now, to make things better, we were expecting a baby. I wonder what we'll have? A boy? A girl? Whatever the baby will be, I will ensure we love our baby unconditionally, just as we have loved Zoey.I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, content with our lives. It must have been around eight in the evening when I woke up. Danny was not by my side, which meant he was probably with Zoey. I needed to make sure that she had eaten something, so I decided to get up and check on them.I walked to her room, but she

    LaylaI continued to cry while Danny tried to calm me down. I couldn't help it; I needed to do something. I can't just sit around and do nothing. My best friend is in danger. Danny pulled away, his hands on my shoulders as he looked at me with concerned eyes."Baby, look at me. Relax, ok? Stacy is fine. She is not in any danger. I promise she is ok." "How? How do you know she will be ok? He can be hurting her, Danny; you heard her. She was crying." I stated the obvious from her call as my hands rested on his hips. What am I going to do? I averted my eyesight to the ground and closed them, seeing myself unable to stop crying. "Baby, trust me. She's ok. I promise Gideon and Nico will not let that asshole harm her, ok? We won't let him get away this time." he says, making me pull away. I looked at him sternly, sniffling. "What do you mean? Gideon and Nico know about this? But...How? What is going on, Danny? What are you not telling me?" I ask him, whipping my tears. He sighs, pulling

    Layla ( four years later) “Listen, I'll call you back, ok? I need to tend to a few things. No, I should be off soon, we'll meet you out there.” Danny has been acting weird lately. It's worrying me. It hasn't been long since we got married. Did he really get tired of me so soon? I mean I gave him two beautiful kids, and I have done my best to make him happy. I get it, I have been so busy with everything around the house and kids that, maybe, he feels I don't pay him much attention anymore. “Danny, dinner is ready,” I say, softly, trying to hold back tears as thoughts of the possibility of an infidelity could be at bay. “Thanks, ladybug. I'm not very hungry. I might be here late.” he says as he sits in his office at home, going through piles of paperwork. He's been expanding his restaurants throughout the southern regions of California, and he's been planning on opening a new restaurant in the northern parts. This means he will probably be at home less. “Are you sure? Maybe I can bri

    Layla (A few months Later)Today, Danny called me right around noon to tell me the good news. He's been on top of the Alejo case. I am happy to say that it is finally over. Vincent and Trevor were both sentenced to jail for a very long... Long, long time. Vincent was given fifty-five years in prison, with no chance for parole. When the media became aware of what was happening, they went crazy. The news was all over the radio, magazines, and tv news. The more they talked about it, the more women came forward, willing to testify against Vincent. There was no way they would get away this time. Plus, Vincent's dad was not willing to help him this time. Mr. Alejo was on Heather and Lisa's side this time. Thanks to his help, Lisa and Heather were well taken care of. He made sure that Vincent's goons were kept far away from the girls and them. If they threatened them in any way, he promised to visit them if he saw the slightest trace of harm.As for Trevor, he was given twenty years before

    LaylaI woke up feeling light for the first time in a long time. It was like a big weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I decided it was a good time to go downstairs to begin breakfast, so I got up and washed up first, placed my slippers on, and made my way out of the room. But, maybe I should check on my little Zoey first. I didn't see Danny in bed, so I figured he was probably downstairs working out or something. "Zoey... Time to wake up, baby." I said while opening the door slowly. I looked at her bed, but it was empty. Her bathroom was empty as well, and her closet was dark, so she couldn't be in there. "Huh? Where is my little cutie-pie?" I wondered, placing my hands on my waist. That's when I realized. There was music playing, and it sounded like it was coming from downstairs. I smiled and made my way down. As I made my way, the music just got louder, but not enough to bother your ears. I could hear the beat of the song as Queen begins with the song, Another One Bites t

    LaylaI sat at the kitchen island, waiting for Danny to get home. I was a nervous wreck because I haven't heard anything from him since I called him and sent him what was in that envelope. But- I'm still saving the best part for when he gets home.After I had gone back to the office, I got a call from, Heather. She wanted me to go and meet her. Well, I was reluctant at first, but the girl has gone through so much! So I decided, why not? So, I told my dad I would be leaving early, and I made my way to see her at the hospital. Heather was finally going to be allowed to go home, but what caught me off guard was that Vincent’s ex was also there. But the way that she was talking to her and holding her so delicately, making sure not to hurt Heather... It gave me love vibes. Yes, you heard me right. I think Vincent’s ex is falling for Heather, but I am not sure if she caught on yet. Oh... I hope that she is in love with her. I hardly doubt Heather goes that way, but hey, you never know! May

    DanielAs we waited for Gideon's signal, we could see Trevor walking on the street across from the motel. He held a small plastic bag. It looked like he had gone out to the small liquor store nearby. He walked with his head down, whistling away. Gideon gestured to one of the boys and he nodded, looking at Trevor. Capturing Vincent would have to wait just a few minutes longer. They quickly came behind him, tackling him to the floor and handcuffing him. He begged, crying to let them go, but there was no way in hell he was going to be free. Gideon came in front of him, and read him his Miranda rights. Trevor shook his head, giving me a death stare as he sees me come up to him. "You! You fucking bastard. How could you? I was going to leave. I was not going to bother either one of you! Didn't you have enough ruining my life already?" he says, making me scuff in disbelief. "You're an escaped convict, Trevor. You're the one who screwed your own life, not me." I say, as the officer pulls hi

It was as if everything was back to normal, or so I made Layla think so that she was not stressing over the dire situation with Vincent and Trevor.Their behavior is ominous and unpredictable. I can't take lightly their unforeseen actions, but I know who can help catch those assholes. Tasha thinks I am oblivious to her link to them. She has something to do with him, and I know it's just a matter of time before we catch those assholes, thanks to her. We have been tracking her whereabouts without her knowing for the past two weeks. "Give them time to feel at ease. The more confidence they feel they have, the better. Let's make them think they have gotten away, and we've forgotten about what they tried to do to you." he had said, the last time we talked. But the eagerness is getting to me. I need to make sure they are behind bars and long gone from our lives. They need to pay for what they did to Heather and for putting my family

Never in her wildest dreams did she ever think she would have to tend to kids, even if they were teenagers. She never thought one of those girls would ever see her with the care and love enough to call her mom. But here she was, with two girls that loved her and called her mom. If only Zoey saw her the same loving way that the girls saw her. It would take a while, but she hopes one day she could win Zoey's love and affection back. Not that he wanted to take her away from Layla and Daniel, after all, she knew Zoey was where she was meant to be with. "Ok, honey. Have a safe and beautiful day. I will pick you up after school.

    Third Person POVThey say a person's malice can only go so far, but the truth is, some are more sinister than others and will stop at nothing to get what they want. Danny was so preoccupied, yet so happy thinking about the papers he had just been handed by Heather that he never cared to overlook what they said in their content. He went home feeling exhausted and for once, thought he could have a good night's rest. The battle with Heather was over, after all. The only thing left was to catch Vincent and Trevor. With the declaration they had gathered and the evidence Gideon had, it was enough to put them behind bars for a very... Very long time. There was only one problem for Vincent, Heather was too cunning. Her beautiful face and sexy body had kept him from thinking she could actually be a smart cookie. She had come up with a master plan to take Zoey away from Danny and Layla, all while still leaving Vincent in ruins. But she had changed her mind at the last minute. She knew Zoey wa

    DanielI couldn't believe my ears. Heather had just confessed to me her husband's plan. From the corruption, he had been doing, laundering money, swindling people out of their paychecks, to secretly gambling hundreds of thousands of dollars. When he saw himself losing it all, he began to get physical with her. He was forcing her to take Zoey away from me, just to ask for money in return for her so he could save his ass. She not only had enough of him, but since his oldest daughter is old enough she had legally changed her name to her mother's last name and was fighting to take legal custody of the other daughter. "Where is he keeping Trevor?" I dared to ask, as I dialed Gideon's phone number. She hesitated for a while, looking around to make sure no one was around to see us talk. "I... I can't say anymore. They're watching us. But, the documents I gave you are enough to get them both behind bars for years. Do what's right for your family, Dan. I know you and I were no match, but I st
