The Contract Trials Emerging
Layla✨✨The Next day✨✨I was too overwhelmed, so Danny thought it was best for me to take the day off. I woke up extremely early today, unable to sleep, but I stayed in bed, feeling much more tired than usual. Danny had even gotten up extra early to fix breakfast f0r me and had Bryce help him feed Zoey.I dreaded getting out of bed feeling myself heavy. I did anyway soon as I was feeling pressure under my tongue. I knew what was coming as my chest felt heavy, making me sprint toward the bathroom feeling the morning sickness sneak up on me. I dreaded the vile rising in me, making my stomach and chest hurt as I continued to vomit. When I finally finished, I was left with a huge pulsing headache. I sat with my back against the sink cabinet, massaging my temple as the throbbing continued. Riley is usually around and checks on me, but today she left to take Logan to his pediatric appointment. Poor little one came crying last doctor visit after getting shots. He enjoyed a nice warm chamom

Danny"Yes, I will be there. Don't let her out of your sight, I don't care what you have to do. Stop her if you must." I gave Bryce commands as I spoke with him on the phone. I have been swampy with work, and I was trying to finish a damn order for the restaurant online as I talked with Bryce at the same time. "Damn it," I grunted, realizing I had marked the wrong damn brand of the chocolate we use for Layla's favorite dessert in my restaurant. I closed my eyes, p9nching the curve of my nose in frustration. "Everything alright, boss?" Bryce anticipated asking. He knew I have been in an ominous mood lately. "No, I- I'm fine, Bryce. Do what I asked, I will be there soon as I can." I said, clicking the phone to end the call. I saw and made the directions on my order, clicked away, and then pressed send. I approved the order immediately, grabbed my keys and coat, placing on me as soon as I possibly could, and made my way out the door. "Jen, I'll be out of the office for a few hours. If

Layla"I hate to think you've replaced me with someone else in that office, because if that is the case, you are in deep trouble, sir," I say as I stand before Danny's office. I've held out of the office for almost a week, but I had had enough. I can't keep myself cooped up in that house while everyone is running around like a headless chicken in the office.I had come to work, just to find that my office was gone. In place stood a bigger, fancier office with a whole living room space, filled with plants, flowers, books and so much more. The office was pretty, in warm tones of grey, gold, and blush pink. It had a few black pieces here and there giving it the final touch. But there were workers still there, fixing the electrical from what it seemed.Danny sits in his office with a pile of papers, samples of fabric, and a cup of coffee. God knows what number of coffee cups that is. He can drink two whole kettles of coffee while consumed in his work. He stands, obviously surprised to see

Third Person POVAs Danny finishes up with the paperwork he had in front of him, he makes a beeline to join Layla for lunch.His smile widens as he sees Layla laughing away as she talks with his secretary, Jenny. It was one of the only things that could content his heart in the middle of all the troubles that had been laid out before him. He still doesn't understand why his grandfather had left him ahead of everything in his place. He never felt like an adequate person for the job, despite his best friend Shawn telling him otherwise. He goes over, kisses Layla on her lips, and smiles when he sees that she had already picked out something for him to eat. He sits next to her and begins to wat, talking away and laughing with his wife and secretary.But little did he know that while he enjoyed a meal with his wife, someone was about to add more to his plate. He is always careful of his actions, knowing quite well there are dire consequences for everything you do. He had exited the off

Daniel"Gids. Hey, it's Daniel. I think you were right about who was helping him. I got Bryce to put a tracker on her car. If all works out, you may be able to catch him soon. Where can we meet to work out the rest of our plan?" I said, fearing the worst. A few days ago, I got a call from Gideon. If things were bad right now, things got even worse the moment I took that phone call. Trevor had somehow gotten out of prison thanks to some guards that were paid off. I'm not clear as of yet who paid them off, but it has to be someone who obviously wants to mess with me and Layla. But little did those guards know that they would lose, their job for doing such a thing. I know damn well Tasha doesn't have the money to pay them off, so someone else has to be working with them. But... Who?The guards are now under custody and awaiting trial. I'm sure they'll enjoy a little jail time. I promised Trevor that he'd rot in jail, and I am a man of my word. I don't care if I have to spend the rest

💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨Layla"What if they take her from me, Mom? I can't do this. I won't be able to withstand it. She's my baby. Mine, not hers. She hasn't even seen her since before this whole thing started. Who is she trying to fool? Why is she doing this to us?" I was a wreck. My stupid emotions just keep getting the best of me. Stupid hormones! I felt a tiny stir from the baby, making me hold my stomach as I cried in front of my mom. She held me, hugging me around my shoulders and cupping my head. "Oh, ladybug! Don't cry, baby. Everything will be just fine. You know Daniel far too well. He will never allow anything to happen to our little Zoey. Heather will not get away with this. Zoey will not leave us, sweetie. Please, don't cry." she tried to console me, but to no avail. The days feel so long, and I dread the minutes to pass. Danny left a while ago for the court hearing and I begged him to take me, but he refused. He wanted to deal with all of this on his own, but... What if

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

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.

The Contract Vegas, Baby!
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
The Contract Oh, Baby!
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
The Contract Forever and Ever
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
The Contract I'm Proud Of You
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
The Contract Down Fall
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
The Contract Tasha
DanielIt seemed as if things had gotten calm and quiet. 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
