Lydia played with her kids in their lobby and her phone suddenly rang. She picked up her phone and picked the call.“Get the fucking phone off your ear, I want to talk to my children.” “Logan?” Lydia asked and the kids turned to her.“Yeah, give the phone to them.” “Guys, your dad wants to talk to you.” “Should we?” Daniel asked and Lydia nodded with a smile. They rushed to her and she placed the phone on speaker before giving it to them.“Hi.” They chorused.“How are you guys doing?”“We are fine.” Daniel replied.“Hmm, are... are you guys mad at me?” “Yes.” They chorused and Logan sighed.“Am sorry for reacting that way.”“But mummy said she is sorry for what she did.” Danielle said.“Did mama really poison you? Poison means a bad drug right?” Damien asked and Logan chuckled.“Dont worry about that, it is between me and your mum.” “Are you going to take us away from mum?” Daniel asked and Logan became silent.“Logan?” Damien called when he saw so silent.“No, I won't take you g
“You are never going to forgive me are you?” Lydia asked wiping her tears.“I don't know, all that matters now is my kids.” “Okay.” Lydia replied and smiled.Logan folded his fist as he tried not go hug her, he sighed and watched how she tried to fight her tears, all he wants to do is punish her and make her regret what she did.“So Rufus fucked you too?” He asked trying to make her angry.“What?” “Yeah, you heard me.”“I didn't know his name was Rufus till the dye minute, I didn't even know him, my boss at the club introduced me to him.”“Whatever.”“Listen Logan, I might be begging you and pleading with you to forgive me but that doesn't give you the right to insult me.” She said angrily and she was about to walk outside but he held her hand. Lydia felt a spark run through her, the spark she hasn't felt in years.She looked at him and he slowly wrapped his hands around her waist, he hugged her and she hugged him back.They remained that way for a while and Logan pulled away from t
Henry tried to distract Daniel and Damien from worrying about their sister as Logan and Lydia paced around the hallway.Lydia kept sighing in tears and Logan kept ruffling his hair.“Henry, is Danielle okay?” Daniel asked as he placed his head on Henry's shoulder. Henry carried both of them on his laps and played with them.“Yes, she is.”“But she suddenly slept, is that normal?” Damien asked and Henry smiled.“She is fine, she just passed out.” The door to the ward Danielle is suddenly and the doctor walked out. Logan and Lydia rushed to them and the doctor smiled.“Your daughter is fine, she is perfectly okay. She just passed out due to fear.” The doctor said and they both sighed in relief.“What scared her?” The doctor asked and Lydia and Logan exchanged looks before sighing. “I understand, try not to argue or fight again in front of your kids, marriage doesn't work that way.” The doctor said and they nodded.“Can we see her?”“Sure, she is awake and she asked of her mum.” The d

A WEEK LATER Lydia sat in front of the mirror as the best make up artist in New York City, she played with her fingers nervously and sighed. “All done.” The make up artist said and Lydia smiled at her. The door suddenly opened and Henry walked into the room. “Hey.” Lydia called with a smile and he smiled back, in bent in front of her and held her hand. “Lydia, are you happy?” He asked. “Of course am happy, why are you asking that?” Lydia asked and chuckled. “Because if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have gone through a lot of pain and I really want to be sure if you are happy that you are getting married to Logan.” “Of course am happy, I love Logan and he loves me.” “And you didn't make me go through pain okay?” Lydia said stroking his hair and he nodded. “Am not a kid anymore, stop doing that.” He chuckled and she laughed. “Am happy for you sis, see you in the ballroom, they are lot of ladies there who needs attention.” “Get a girlfriend.” Lydia yelled as he walked toward
***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

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."
