They pulled away from the kiss and Danielle smiled. “Come on, let us get you out of the water before you pass out.” Bryan said and carried her out. “Great, our clothes are wet thanks to you.” Bryan said and she giggled. “Sorry, my bad.” She said and smiled. “I don't want you to get cold.” Bryan said and cuddled her. “I have an idea.” She said and picked up her phone from the floor, she unlocked it and rolled her eyes when she saw Daniel's number on speed dial. “Your brothers really love you and protect you a lot.” Bryan said and she rolled her eyes. “Yeah, and it is really annoying.” She said and scrolled through her contact list and clicked on Eddy's number. She called him and he picked up immediately. “Eddy.” Danielle called happily. “Yes Danielle, how can I help you?” Eddy asked and Logan turned to him. “Why is she calling you?” Logan whispered to him and he shrugged. “Eddy, hmm long story short. Am on a date and my boyfriend's cloth and I are wet, can I go to Bianca's s
Bryan and Danielle walked into the house and her brothers rushed to her immediately.“Are you okay?” Damien asked.“Did he hurt you?” Daniel asked.“Why are your clothes changed?” Damien asked.“What happened to your former clothes?” Daniel asked.“What is in the bag?” Damien asked and Danielle sighed, she ignored them and turned to Bryan.“Thanks for today.” She said with a smile and hugged him.“You are welcome and thanks for the clothes.” He said and she nodded.“My regards to your mum, bye. See you in school on Monday.” He said and kissed her forehead and she smiled.“Bye guys.” Bryan said to Daniel and Damien who kept staring at them and he walked out.“How did it go?” Damien asked and Danielle sighed.“Why are you not saying anything?” Daniel asked.“Yeah, answer us and tell us how it went.” Damien said and she groaned.“Guys, guys come on. I am really exhausted and answering your infinity questions is the last thing I want right now okay? I just want to take a shower and take a
The day passed with happiness and a lot of fun as they all played in the garden, they really got fond of Bryan and found out he was indeed the perfect guy for Danielle.*******A WEEK LATERDaniel sighed repeatedly as he drove his car, he was somehow jealous of how close his brother and sister are with their lovers nowadays while he is just a lone wolf. On some occasions he likes it and on some he hates it.He knows he could just pick one out of his over a million followers and choose to date but what about the love and happiness his brother and sister are experiencing? He also wants to experience that. He knows he said love is for the weak but now he wants to love.He decided to take a drive around the city to clear his head and he found himself in the ghetto, he sighed and was about to take the next turn heading to the main city and he saw a girl running towards his car. The girl suddenly jumped into the car because he let the roof down and he flinched.“Drive.” She said looking bac
“Sorry, am kind of used to that.” She said trying to touch him but she couldn't because she was afraid she was too dirty for him.“Yeah, I figured that out.” Daniel said with a groan as he creased his arm.“So why did you come here again?” Clara asked as she walked to his car and sat on it.“Nothing much, I just found myself coming back here.” He replied and she nodded, Daniel also sat on his car and she smiled. Daniel paused and stared at her closely, she looks so pretty with her long hair and blue eyes. She also has pink lips and long eyes lashes.“Hmm, earth to Daniel.” She said and snapped her fingers in front of him.“Oh, yeah.” He said rubbing his neck.“Why the fuck were you staring at me? Was there something on my face?” She asked and Daniel shook his head.No, it is not that... ““Oh wait, you fucking think am pretty right?” She asked with a smile and Daniel looked at her surprised by her blunt act.“Are you that blunt? What kind of a girl asks if a guy is checking her out be
A WEEK LATER Daniel walked into the house with a smile and his family turned to him confused, he has been having that smile for about a week now and they wondered what was going on with him.And everyday after school, he does not come home directly, he first goes to the ghetto dressed in his uniform and fun with Clara.He was thinking about her and he smiled as he sat on the couch and went through his Instagram account.“Okay, I got to ask. What's up with the smile Daniel? You have been extremely happy these days.” Lydia said and he turned to his mother.“It is a girl right? It is definitely a girl.” Danielle said.“Yes, Daniel smiles but he does not smile this way and where have you been going after school for the past one week? You leave immediately we close from school and you come back late sometimes.” Damien said and he smiled.“If you have a girlfriend already, you can just tell us. Who is she? One out of over your million followers?” Lydia asked and he smiled.“Well, I guess y
Lydia's POVI laughed out in delight as I successfully rubbed the flour on Logan's face as he teases me with the way I handled the rolling pin. For a split seconds his face morphed into a shock and ugly one before he sobered up and picked a race after me around the long kitchen isle. I quickly stopped, fell on my knees and dramatically begged for his mercy, he stared at me with a dramatic expression as if he was in thought before bursting out into laugher which I joined in whole heartedly.He helped me up and I dusted my flour-covered hands against him unintentionally and he shrieked like a girl making me fall on my knees with a throaty laughter rolling out of my lungs, tears rolled down my eyes as I laughed harder and he shook his head before helping me up and patting my back."For real? I don't get, why do you both act like a teenager all the time while I act like the adult." The growing baritone voice which was almost a replica of Logan's came up from the door and we looked up. Jud
Jude's POVAdmiring my gelled hair, I readjusted my school tie around my neck and picked up my phone from it's stand then made my way out down the stairs. A small smiled carved around my cheeks as the calm but heated arguement of my parent met my hearing."Nope, Christiana Ronaldo remaind the greatest of all time. Messi? Who is he?" My jaw hung low as mum's words repeated in my head.Waoh, Mama's got a good spec."He is the greatest of all time. Oh I get now, you love Ronaldo because he's hot?""Oh, I'm glad you know he's hot."My hands formed a fist and I used it to cover my mouth immediately. Knowing well, they could go hot straight in that kitchen, I moved closer to the door and announced my presence. "Morning mom, morning dad.""Oh, hey honey. Breakfast is ready." I replicated my mom's smile as she gestured me to move closer. I rolled my eyes to see my dad, his eyes were on his woman, ewww."Thanks mom. Um, dad, I think your stare might shoot some holes into mum's heart if you don
Lydia's POVI stared at my phone with a frown. "Did Jude just say 'his friend'? He has a friend?" Logan asked from behind his desk and I shrugged. "We'll know. I'm just glad he has someone to call a friend unlike you." I rolled my eyes at him and he looked away. "Well, I gotta go down before he gets there." "Coming with you." I shrugged at his response and we went out together.I know you might be wondering, well, with the help and connection my husband has I got the approval of the government to open my own hospital and got certified by great proffesors who have been of help over the years. ***My eyes widened as I walked into the room only to see my son's hand on a female's shoulder. "Jude." He raised his head gently with a small smile while the girl stood up immediately, looking taken aback. I didn't even know what to think at this moment than the fact that my son had a girlfriend and was growing up into a fine man. "Good afternoon, ma'am." The petite girl greeted and I blinke
***THE OLD HOUSE****JUDE'S POV*Staring at my parents all sad and longing for my return made my heart churn and I realized that not everybody got the love I got while growing up. My parents protected me from every little evil the world could offer, what love could be greater than that."I also got to find out out that you both rule the darkest Mafia empire in New York." Mum gasped immediately and I sighed. "I should be so angry that you both kept it away from me but I know you did it for my best. And mom, I think you and Uncle Carlos have to calm the riff between you—""Did he hurt you because of that?" Dad asked immediately and I shook my head, no. "No, dad. He wanted to but he couldn't because..." I looked up at Carlos who had his eyes on me and I decided to swallow my next word. "He didn't hurt me, dad. And well, I also go to find out that he isn't involved with those men who tried to kill Snow." "Is he there with you?" Dad asked and I nodded. "Do you think I should talk with hi
*JUDE'S POV*"No one as ever talked to me so casually and has never questioned me before." He answered and I frowned but nodded. Is he that scary? I sighed out and passed him a small smile which he surprisingly returned with a small smile to and jeez, I was fucking confused about this man. "So... What juice. Majorly, I like pineapple juice." I brought the topic back up and he clapped his hands once with a jolly smile on and I don't know if I should be freaked out or not because Marcus was fucking terrified."I actually don't take juice... I got addicted to liquor over the years." He told me and I rubbed my heart immediately. "I know, it burns the heart and all but that doesn't count to a soul who has no inch of love in it and beside, liquor now tastes like juice." He answered and I shook my head in disbelief then laugh-scoffed.I stood up from my seat and walked around the table to the refrigerator, I opened it and brought out all the juice in it. I returned to the slab and picked ou
***OLD HOUSE, MIAMI***"If you want me to, father." He answered and the Maniac nodded but the little smile at the edge of his lips didn't go unnoticed by me. Why did he smirk? That's question had been roaming in my head ever since I entered the extravagant room while this Marcus's lookalike sat in the corner of the room with his legs raised up and his head in-between, I sighed out loudly but then frowned when I heard him sniff. "Hey, hey, are you... Crying?" I asked dumbly and moved towards him only to scream out in agony as I felt a sharp blade cut my forearm skin. I gasped when I realized that it wasn't blade but a sharp knife. "The fuck, bro. Ah." I yelped out and collected the knfie from him. "Did he tell you to do it? Was that why he smirked? Did he tell you to kill me?" I asked in a whisper but he only stared at me with a painful expression and a quivering lip.I hissed, stood up, and made my way into the bathroom where luckily, a first aid kit lied. "I really miss mom right
***PRIVATE JET****JUDE'S POV*Oh God, I just had a bad dream that I was kidnapped from my home. My eyelids parted slowly and I felt a sharp pain in my head but it went just as it came. I tried to stretch out my hands when I discovered that I couldn't move. My eyes looked down at my hands and I frowned at the thick ropes I was tied with. "The fuck." I cussed out as I stared around just to see that I was in a jet, in the freaking air."Keep your mouth shut, we're trying to sleep." A female's voice came from the side and I turned sharply to access her. She sat with her legs crossed but she looked 5ft8 just like my mum but her cream golden hair was tied in a lower bun while she coveredx the rest up with a black face cap which matched her jumpsuit. She glanced at me and I felt her sharp cold eyes bore into my soul. "Fuck you!" I told her with a good smirk and I knew I hit the bottom because I saw her hands twitch and hands wrap into a fistbut she didn't make the move to hit me which gav
***THE GUEST HOUSE****JUDE'S POV*I walked into the house excitedly, ready to announce to mum that my best friend is back but just as I stepped into the sitting room, I stopped. "Hey, baby." Mom came out of the kitchen and walked towards me and I frowned. "Why is dad's cologne so strong in here as if he was here?" I asked as my dad's cologne radiated in the room, especially from mum's favorite couch. Mom stopped immediately at my words and I stared at her with a frown, she looked taken aback at my question but she pouted after."I, I was the one that spray his smart collection all over the room... I just... I just miss him." Her sad voice was the least I could ever want. Seeing my mom tear or hearing her voice change to a sad one makes my heart churn in a very harsh way. I advanced towards her quickly and embraced her. "It's okay, it's okay to miss your husband. I miss him too, I miss dad so much... His cologne around the house is good. I like it." I said, trying my best to comfort
***THE GUEST HOUSE****LYDIA'S POV*"Tell me everything!" I ordered and she began to spill everything that happened at the Thomas's clan with me and I smirk. "That dummy is just blinded by lust. And to believe that he could protect anyone from me is so sick of him." I shook my head in disbelief and she chuckled."I know right..." She chuckled and I smiled. "And boss, I saw the guy you described to me there... He's like the right hand man to Thomas and he was so suspicious of me. I think he saw through too." She reported and my brows creased into a frown. "Put on the act... He's not a threat." I answered cooly and she hummed. "Go to sleep, Ruby so that you won't miss your flight tomorrow. Work starts tomorrow." "Yes, boss. Thank you for the second chance." She replied and I hum quietly then disconnected the call. It is so obvious that Thomas is dumb but Odger won't be so I have to tie this knot and plan this harder. I quickly sent everything to my husband, he'll definitely know the b
*JUDE'S POV* I cracked up hard as Snow told me her fun childhood story which were totally different from the ones she told me when we first met. This time, all she said we're truth. We walked down the streets of New York hands in hands but she suddenly stopped in front of a full mirror, passer-by stared as Snow did a full turn in front of the mirror. She turned to me with a small pout and a frown. "I didn't even know how I grew this big and tall." She said and I slide my hand around her waist and pulled her closer. "I wish I had my memories back," she added as I sighed. I wish that too. "You'll get them back, shawty." I told her but she glared at me. "Don't call me shawty, daddy's boy." She warned, just the same way she did the first time I called her that and I smiled. "I've said that same line before, right?" I nodded at her question and she sighed. I pat her head with force and she yelped, she was about to hit me back when we heard a loud car horn from behind. We both turned a
*JUDE'S POV* Holding unto her hand as if she was gonna slip away any moment from now became an habit because I just couldn't help it. She was too adorable. "Oh my God, I'm filled up." She groaned out as she rested her head against the table while she rub her tummy with her left palm and I rub her back in a up aanf downward motion which made her belge. She covered her mouth embarrassed and I laughed heartily, she glanced at me but buried her face against the table and I smiled. "I don't know why, but I like you." She confessed and I smiled. "I love you too." I told her and kissed the back of her hand with a small smile. Just as we stood up, mom walked in and my smile broaden. "Good morning, mom." I let go of Snow's hand as I went in for her hug and when I let go, I held unto Snow's hand back. "Morning, baby. Morning, Snow." She turned to Snow who's face had turned pink, her being shy wentlooked so adorable. She opened her mouth to talk but she closed it back , mom laughed and pu
