Ted's standpoint
I slammed the empty cup of beer on the table and sighed, I had lamented all my troubles to him like always. Cephas might not be my father, but I had always seen him as a better one; calm, too polite, nice but yet dangerous when he wants to be. I could tell him everything and harbor no fear because he would never rat me out. I trust him more than Carlos and all my men.
'You really are in a tight situation,' he chuckled and sipped from his beer. He understands me because he has always openly talked to me about his first love, how it ended badly. 'What do you intend to do?'
'What am I supposed to do? I don't know how to pacify her. I know she is not insan
Ted's standpoint How the mighty falls… 'There is no way in this fucking life that I'm going to step out of this building wearing this rubbish!' I yelled at Cookie, who had a grin on her face. So, eventually, I am to take Yolanda and her out to the amusement park and a long list of things we must do alone and with Yolanda. The worst thing about it all was that she would be the one choosing what I would wear. She turned my beautiful white shirt and pants to pink and now with all the combos of beads and chains and ribbons, I look like a giant walking lollipop! &nb
Ted's standpoint 'Why did you send me away?' My heart missed three beats. 'Just curious.' No, she was not just curious, she needed to know. I glanced at her, she was looking at me way to intensely for someone who is just “curious”. The question is: Should I lie or say the truth? Cephas said the truth can do no harm with her. But… 'I sent you away because I was getting too fond of you,' I admitted. I exhaled and closed my eyes. 'I feared and still fear that if I get too close to you, I will end up caring a lot about you and that will only get you killed. I don't want the situation where I would be forced to kill you like my father did to my mother.'
I tapped my temple lost in thought, thoughts of how to get to Ame, what to do to kill him once and for all. I had been trying for years, since he took over his father. The insult, having a child control me; living in fear because of a child. Ame wasn't easy to kill at all, it was easy to have allies and kill his father, but he is a hard wall to crack. I thought Yolanda would do, convinced Rico to abduct her hoping that he would help me fish out his weakness, but the kid is just like her father. Indirect attack, my ultimate strategy. If Ame should find out I was the one encouraging all the idiots to attack him, I would be dead. 'Sir, can I come in?' 'You are already in,' I snarled, puffing out smoke from my mouth. It should
'Ted, we have discussed this before, as long as I have forgiven you, you can't hate yourself.' 'I know, but that night I loosened your towel, I saw some scars that are yet to heal, some that might never heal. I didn't think about it at first, but the moment I got into my car…' His voice was clouded with guilt, regret, patheticness. He looked away, unable to look me in the eyes, like a boy afraid of talking to his mother. 'I saw the scars, it is my fault you got all that. Your beautiful skin is maimed because of me.' 'Coco,' I called softly, pulling away from him a little, so I would remain in his arms. 'The one thing my mother made me understand is that everything happens for a reason, nothing in this life e
Cookie's standpoint Housewife. That's how I felt watching Ted dress up as he walked around the room, answering phone calls and going through files at the same time. I wasn't helping him with anything, all I did was wake up, exercise, work on my gymnastics and do whatever else comes to mind. I need to do something, need to help him, show him that I can be useful to him in other ways. I wasn't even useful for sexual pleasure since the universe keeps interrupting us with phonecalls from his, Bruce's or Carlos'. '… I said I will be there in thirty minutes, stop panicking!' He yelled into the phone. 'No, I am not on my way yet, so stop questioning me!' He inhaled and continued walking around. I
Dinah's standpoint All my life, all I ever wanted was my father, my own father, to love and care for me like a father should. I was just a child when I started seeing my mother bringing men into the house and having sex with them, not caring if I was around. I watched her kill my biological father that night when he returned from a meeting and saw her fucking his best friend. They had fought and mom accidentally killed him, but it doesn't matter. I watched my own father die. Five months later, she was married to my stepfather, that cruel man who wasn't satisfied with his wives. He raped me whenever mother wasn't around, and after he was done, he would inject me, so I would f
Cookie's standpoint I wiggled my nose, something ticklish was rubbing itself against it, it was very ticklish. I pushed the thing away with a giggle and murmured that it leave me alone. I giggled more as the thing trailed all the way to my ear, it was so ticklish. 'Cut it out, Tickle,' I giggled. The thing moved down to my lips, I rolled over and laughed. 'Wake up, sweetie,' I opened my eyes and glared playfully at Ted. He was tickling me with a feather. 'Morning my… Sanity.' 'Your sanity?' 'You owe the key to me yelling one minute and pulling my hair or having me beha
Cookie's standpoint Okay, the first and most important question is why are you angry?… The first voice asked calmly. Is it because he doesn't want you to work, or because of the Josie part?… Asked the second. Both! Both! Both! Both!!! Voice two: Calm down and let's talk quietly, so you won't get a headache. Voice one: why are you upset about the Josie part?
Later in the evening, 5pm to be precise. Ted and I managed to sneak out of the living room where the kids were waiting impatiently for Yolanda to arrive. Cookie had something to distract her and keep her away; stare at the door intensely. I made him fall on the bed with our lips still locked in a hungry kiss, my hands trying to get rid of his buttons. His hand was around my waist, the other squeezing one of my cheeks roughly. I moaned into his mouth, throwing my legs over to straddle him. His hands went up to my shirt, ripping it open effortlessly. I giggled and grind myself against him, placing my hands on his chest. A grunt vibrated through his chest, his hands going down to grip my hips. And then it happened. 'Mommy!!!!' I groaned with frustration, falling my head on the crook of his neck. Ted chuckled. 'Why do I feel like she's ka
Back arched, head thrown back on the bed, I moaned endlessly, squirming under him. Ted had his head between my legs as he ate me, driving me insane with pleasure with his tongue, teeth, and fingers. It was the little time we had together, one of our very few moments, and we spent it either talking or filling our sexual life. It wasn't easy, especially when I had a very clingy daughter, she wouldn't let me be for twenty minutes. Most nights, she slept in our room, pushing Ted off the bed to sleep on the floor or anywhere else. It wasn't all bad, Ted was always too busy to care. 'Aaaaaaaah!' Ted jumped away from me with shock, even I did. I sat up immediately, using the duvet to cover myself. 'Daddy, what are you doing to my mother? How dare you bite her?!' Ted glared at me. 'I swear, I locked the door…'
Valeria's standpoint I quickly brought the gun from behind me and fired at his body, angrily finishing all the bullets on him, even after he laid dead. I sniffed as tears streamed down my face, he killed my sister's fiancé. Cookie will be so heartbroken. I searched the room and found a splatter-gun. I angrily used it on him. Carlos ran into the room and gasped at the mess. He looked at me chucklingly. 'It's okay…' 'No! He killed him! Ame's dead! This clone guy killed him!' 'Do you think that the original owner of the formula that formed the clones wouldn't have one or two of himself?' I opened my mouth in shock. 'If this was
Yolanda's standpoint You know what I like about my dad? His trust in me. He didn't look down on me like I was some kind of little girl he must pamper, he didn't underestimate me for my age or size. I told him I wanted to handle my uncle myself and he simply nodded, having a strong faith that I would be okay on my own, and I'm grateful for that. I knew the warehouse he was going to ambush, didn't even need any man but the droids to take care of him. I sat on a chair with legs crossed, drinking from my juice box relaxedly as I waited for him to arrive. The gunshots were getting louder and closer. To him, he was shooting humans and making his way in. 'Gather as many co
Cookie's standpoint There is no such thing as an easy kill, there is no such thing as a piece of cake, at least, not in my world. Everything was going too easily, my mind was on high alert. At first, I thought I was lucky, then I remembered he always seems to come back from the dead all the time. Ted did say he is not an easy man, so how did he fall so easily? Okay, that isn't vital because I know he loves my brain, not me. The thing was that I was feeling off all of a sudden, ever since he disappeared and came back. I couldn't question him, not when he snapped at me not to. Something was wrong somewhere, and I was going to find out. I faked pregnan
Valeria's standpoint I rubbed my hands on the side of my beautiful white dress, for my fake wedding. I was really nervous because if things didn't work out as planned, I would eventually die. Carlos assured me that everything would be okay, but I wasn't convinced at all. I didn't want my first wedding experience to be fake but I didn't have a choice. I smiled nervously as I stared at myself in the mirror, Carlos and Carolyn looking at me with a smile. Well, Carolyn was taking pictures. 'I don't want to do this,' I whined. 'We've been through this, you can, just relax.' 'Am I going to kiss him? I can't kiss my sister's fiancé,' 'For a good course, Ria,' Carlos said, maintaining his cool voice. 'Aren't you jealous? That your girlfriend is going to be kissing another man?' I huffed. 'When I know it's fake?' He asked back, folding his arms. He cocked a brow at me, making me pout and suck on my bottom lip. 'I wanted my first wedding experience with you, this
Cookie's standpoint I stared out of the window of the car as I thought about my life with Braddock for the last three months. I felt like a whore sleeping with him, but I had to do it to avoid suspicion and earn his trust. I earned his trust more when I helped him solve some cases he was finding difficult, helped him planned ambushes on his other enemies. In my three months stay with him, he had gotten richer, more powerful and stronger with my advice. He already trusted me, never did a thing without telling me, never went to any secret meeting without me. The things I found out about him; the things he did for a living, the people betraying my father and Ted was so shocking I almost passed out.  
Cookie's standpoint I looked around the wood colored bedroom, clutching my bag nervously with a fast beating heart. I was in his room, sitting on the cushion while he got me something to drink in the bar. I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to be here. I miss Ted, I miss having him possessively yell at any man who touch or come close to me. Right now, I just needed him to keep me safe from this man. Don't be a coward, Cookie, remember you're doing this for him. You have to survive so you can return to him, your ring is waiting for you. I smiled at my subconscious advice, I had a ring waiting for me. The thought of having him go on his knee
Cookie's standpoint Two weeks later. I wasn't expecting the plan to work so fast, I knew it would be slow but I was missing everyone, missing Italy. I wondered what my family were doing, what Carolyn and dad were doing. She decided that she wanted to be in Italy to take care of Armando who she had bonded with. Valería would be too busy to take care of him, it was perfect. The only thing is that she was with dad and dad was already admiring her. I was scared he would try to use her naivety against her, she wasn't completely alright but sane enough to have a normal life. I had Armando spy on them and promised him that if he cou
