Layla

I stood looking at Danny as he drifted off in thought. Should I ask him what is going on? I have never seen him this mad, what could have possibly happened out there? Who the hell did he see out there?

"Danny, are you ok?" I asked but got no answer in return. He was too lost in thought. "Danny?" I asked again, making him look back at me. "Uh... Yeah, everything's fine, ladybug. Don't worry about me." he says giving me a big smile.

I knew he was just saying that to not get me worried, but I wasn't going to push the subject until he was ready to tell me.

He trailed his hands around my waist and hugged me tightly. He kissed my stomach, placing his forehead delicately on my stomach and sighing. "Ladybug, promise me something."

"What is it?"

"Promise me that you will never leave us. I'd die if you and my little one's ever left me." his words concerned me. There was something he was not telling me, but until he was comfortable talking, I'd have to live with curiosity.

  • The Contract   Who Is She?

    LaylaIt's just about time for the grand opening of the daycare, and neither my dad nor Danny are here. "Where are they?" I whispered to myself, getting nervous. I was a little anxious, tapping my foot nervously and hitting my lip as I looked toward the door, hoping that they would come in any moment."Layla, we're ready for you, honey." mom says, as she and my sister Karla walk up to me. Mom had Zoey in her arms. She had helped me dress her in a cute princess dress in a light blush pink color. The dress was long and puffy, just like she liked it. She loved dressing like a princess."Ok. Hey...Have you guys seen Danny or dad?" I say as my hormones got the best of me making my stomach flutter from how nervous I was feeling."No, sweetie, I'm afraid not." mom answers, holding Zoey's back as she stretches backward. "They should be here soon, don't worry," Karly adds, placing her hand on my shoulder. "Looks like these things are not as important to them as you thought. But I mean, they

  • The Contract   Talk With Her

    LaylaI knew something was up with Danny, and this woman standing before us was the proof of it. I looked at Danny and he comes closer to talk to me. "I will take care of it. Take Zoey to the bathroom again, it's fine," he says as I look at him with concern. But my main worry was that Zoey keeps asking to go to the restroom. I knew I shouldn't have let her drink so much, but she has been drinking so much cranberry juice today. "Danny, who is she? And how does she know who I am?" I ask, but he sighs, closing his eyes."No one. No one important, don't worry about it. Ok? I got this, baby. Go, before Zoey has an accident." he says, and I sigh, looking back at the lady standing with a sad and worried expression."Alright. I'll be back soon." I say, but the fact is, I was too preoccupied with this. I had to find out who she was or it was going to eat at me all night.Before I was back, the lady had left and Danny chatted with guests as if nothing had ever happened. I shrugged it off for

  • The Contract   Heather

    Layla“Hhhmmm.” I sighed deeply as I ran my hands through my hair. It was so early in the morning, and I feel as if I get up earlier and earlier every day to get ready. I needed to make time to doll myself up and be able to get Zoey ready for school as well. But this morning was worse. I am so sleepy. Danny kept tossing and turning last night. I doubt he had any sleep as well, and this morning when I finally woke up, he was already up, working out at our home gym.I got off the vanity and placed the top back on my mascara before I forgot and left it open again. I've been forgetful lately, and I'm tired and sleepy all the time. I don't know if it's part of my pregnancy or if I'm just low in iron or something. This is something I definitely need to talk to my doctor about in our next visit.I made my way to Zoey’s room and opened the door slowly. Ruth had slept in Zoey’s room again. I can't blame her, we had gotten Zoey a huge beanbag that looked like a giant dog bed. It was so incred

  • The Contract   She Belongs To Me

    LaylaI sat across from Heather at a small cafe, just a few blocks away from work. I won't lie. There are hundreds of questions surging through my noggin, and it's making me go crazy-nervous. Why the hell was she here? What could she possibly want to talk to me about, and Why the hell now? Did she not make Danny and Zoey suffer enough by lying to them? She made him believe she was Zoet]y was his daughter, and then, just took off. It tore Danny apart, and I don't even want to imagine how it may have affected Zoey. She was so little but she still got so attached to Danny. To have been yanked away from him and taken away. God, it makes my heart ache for them."Ok. So? What did you want to talk about, Heather? Why are you here? And, how do you even know who I am? We have never met, other than the day you and Daniel announced you were getting married." I said, making her sit with a silent stare. She looked deadly mad, but I don't think she was as pissed off as I was now, nor how mad Dann

  • The Contract   They Knew

    LaylaI had no desire on going back to work, but I dragged myself anyway. “Control yourself, Layla. God- what am I going to do?” I couldn't keep myself together, no matter how hard I tried. I walked slower than usual, not wanting to do a thing. My damn tears kept pouring out, and people kept looking at me weirdly. ‘Yes, people- I'm crying.’ I rolled my eyes, not carrying what they were thinking. I mean, have they never seen a girl cry while walking back to work before? Come on now. The worse thing is, I think a damn paparazzi took pictures of Heather and me back at the cafe. I swear I saw flashes go off, but I could be wrong. Maybe it was just the sun reflecting off of cars passing by. I wiped my face as best as possible and took a deep breath, holding onto my stomach. “Everything is going to be fine, right baby? It has to be. Your sister is going nowhere. I promise if it's the last thing I do.” need to stay positive, I can't let anyone know what's going on, and give myself off by

  • 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

  • The Contract   Your Jealousy Is Showing

    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

  • The Contract   Don’t Mess With My Sanctuary

    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

  • 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

    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

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.

    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
