THE NEXT DAY“Am ready.” Danielle yelled and and ran down the stairs.“Careful young miss, please don't hurt yourself.” A maid said in fear and Danielle smiled at her.“It’s fine, call me Danielle.” She said and hugged the maid, the maid froze and hurriedly pulled away, she bowed to Danielle.“Am sorry ma’am, your father will make me lose my job if I touch you, please just stay where you are.”“What is your name?”“Anna, ma’am.”“You have a nice name.”“Thank you ma’am.”Daniel and Damien suddenly ran down the stairs and Anna panicked.“Please be careful sirs.” She said in fear.“Why are you so scared? It's just running.” Daniel chuckled.“Yeah, why are you so scared?” Damien asked.“If anything happens to you, your father will be so mad at me.”“Why are you guys so scared of dad? Yesterday, a maid kept telling me sorry because I said I hurt my finger, she was so scared and begged me not to tell anyone.” Damien explain.“Your... “ The maid got interrupted as she saw Logan walking down
“You guys are really amazing and cool, unlike you father.” Lucas whispered to them and they laughed, Logan pulled Lydia away from them and pulled her to the room. “Sorry about what my mother did.”“You don't need to be sorry, it's fine. I understand.”“What about Susan?” Lydia suddenly asked.“Susan? I think I saw her last month.”“Aren’t you getting married to her again?” “What? No. I wasn't planning to before.” “Okay.” “Why are you asking?”“Nothing.” ********GRIFFO’S MANSIONLogan's father walked in and his wife rushed to him, he gave her a confused look wondering why she rushed towards him that way.“What?” He asked as the maids took his jacket.“The fucking gold digger is back.”“Gold digger?” He asked confused.“Lydia, the girl who poisoned Logan and ran away.”“Oh.”“Yeah.”“Logan brought her here today and they came with kids.”“Kids?”“Yes, she gave birth to triplets and Logan thinks they belong to him.”“Okay, invite them over for dinner this night.”“What?”“You heard
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
MONTHS LATER“Mummy I don't want to go to school.” Danielle whined as the maid fixed her hair in the living room, her brothers laughed at her as they ate breakfast. “Mummy am being serious, I don't want to go.” “Okay then, what do you want?” Lydia asked with a sigh.“I want to see daddy.”“Your daddy went on a business trip and will be back probably today or tomorrow and you will see him when you get back.”“No, I want my daddy.” She said and burst into tears.“Oh, Danielle. Don't start with me this morning.” Lydia warned as she cried, Lydia brought out her phone and dialed Logan's number and he picked up immediately.“Where the hell are you Logan?” She asked and he chuckled.“What’s wrong? Am in Peru.”“Well, you better get back to New York City today, Danielle is so... ““Give her the phone.” He cut Lydia off and she sighed before giving the phone to Danielle.“Baby.” Logan called with a smile and his guards and some mafia lords turned to him, he was in a meeting with them when Ly
After the kids had gone to school, Lydia and Logan decided to spend some time with each other before they start planning the birthday. The birthday will happen in their ballroom in the mansion.Lydia laughed as Logan tickled her, she fell on the chair in the living room and laughed loudly. Logan fell on her and smirked, he kissed her neck and she giggled happily. The door suddenly opened and Susan walked in with her bags, she didn't know either she should be shocked or disappointed. After what she showed Lydia how can they still be getting along? Logan pulled away from Lydia and she smiled.“Oh, you are here, with your bags, just like you said.” Lydia said with a smile.“Yeah, didn't you show him the pictures?”“She did.” Logan said and kissed Lydia.“So why aren't you saying anything?” “We will do a DNA test to see if I actually own the thing in you.” Logan said and she froze.“D... D... NA?” “Yes of course, you can't ruin my marriage Susan, that picture might be true but I wasn'
Danielle cried loudly as she stared at the huge man beside her, she wiped her tears with the back of her I'm and cried more. “Shut up!” The man yelled at her and she frowned. “No, you shut up. I want to see my daddy and mummy!” She screamed and the man sighed angrily. “Your daddy is dead, you saw him right? You saw him fall.” “He is not dead, my daddy did not die.” She cried and the man rolled his eyes. “Am hungry!” She yelled and used her tiny hand to hit him. “Jeez, you are lucky you belong to Logan or else I would have pulled a fucking trigger in your fucking head.” “Oh, so you can't hurt me?” Danielle asked and he rolled his eyes. “Am hungry!” She screamed and hit him again. “Fine, what do you want?” “Pizza, smoothie, candy, ice cream, chocolate? cookies, apple, lasagna and... “ “You want to eat all that?” “Yes, hurry up, am hungry.” She said with a smile and the guy shook his head, he picked up a phone and dialed a number. ********* “But mum why did you bring us h
ONE YEAR LATERLogan groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, he closed it back immediately because it was too bright. He tried moving his hand and body but it felt numb, he sighed and lifted his hand forcefully and placed it on his forehead.Memories of that night came rushing to his head and he froze immediately.“Danielle, Danielle, Danielle.” He muttered and opened his eyes, he looked around where he was and saw that it wasn't familiar at all. He sighed and tried standing up but he still felt numb. He struggled and sat up breathing heavily and he looked at where he was. Where could this be?He sighed again and tried getting off the bed but couldn't.“Lydia!” He yelled in pain and got no response.“Lydia!” He yelled again and the door opened reaviling the shock of his life, he froze as she walked towards him with a smile.“You are awake.” She said happily and helped him back on the bed, all he did was keep staring at her in shock.“What?” She asked him and touched his hair the way sh
The triplets ignored the therapist as he talked to them, Lydia sighed and smiled at the man.“You are really wasting your time.” Damien said to the man and Lydia groaned.“We will leave now, I am really sorry.” Lydia said and her kids stood up.“Its fine, bye Mrs. Griffo.”“Yeah, bye.” “We really didn't need that mum.” Daniel said to his mother as they got to the car. “Yes you did, now get into the car.”“I want to go and meet Eddy.” Danielle suddenly said.“Yeah, me too.” The boys chorused and Lydia sighed.“You guys are mad at me right?”“Yeah, sure.” They chorused and she laughed.“Fine, I will take you guys to Eddy.” “And buy us ice cream for being mean to us.” Daniel said as they entered the car.Lydia bought them ice cream and drove to Eddy’s company, they got down and Lydia told her guards to escort them. If she goes with them Eddy will surely have an excuse to send them back, not because he doesn't like them but because they frustrate him a lot. “Bye mum.” Daniel said and
***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
