The Unwanted Matrimonial Chapter 42: Trigger
Damon's POVWe were held at gunpoint by Daniel's armed men, Troy and I knelling on the floor with our hands up in surrender. I looked up and watched Daniel come down the stairs behind Layla, holding her at gun point while forcefully dragging her down the stairs and I could see she was trying to put up a fight at first, but then Daniel whispered something into her ear and she stopped, letting him drag her without any struggle."Look who I got here Damon, your precious wife", he laughed maniacally and his grip tightened on Layla's neck, causing her to wince in pain"Let her go Daniel, it's me you're after""I've noticed something", he paused to think, his eyes dropping to Layla's baby bump. "Is it me or is Layla's stomach a little bigger?"He chuckled a little, seeming amused as he placed the gun on Layla's stomach. "Is this the new addition to the family?""Daniel, please", Layla sobbed, her glowing with tears as she looked at him and Daniel's features softened in pity"Layla, sweetie"

Daniel's POVI don't know what happened before Layla landed on top of me when I was trying to prevent her from having a bad fall on her stomach. This was because her hands slipped on the gun, resulting in her falling, but she continued picking up the struggle of getting the gun from me.From there, everything happened so fast, the next thing I heard was two shots being fired and Layla grasped, her eyes dropping to her stomach to see her white shirt was slowly turning crimson red. Her breathing ragged as she placed her hand on her bullet wound and bought it to her face before looking at me in the eyes before hers rolled to the back of her head and she collapsed on her side on the floor and I quickly got to my side to shake her awake, but she had lost consciousness.Troy quickly pushed me away, trying to shake Layla up. I could see his hands stained with blood and I turned my head to see Junior lying lifeless on the floor, Angelo knocked out not very far from him."Layla?", Damon took h

Two years later.....Layla's POV“Layla, hurry up we are going to be late”, Lelo called me from downstairs. She was driving me to and from work every day since I moved back here and got myself a new apartment. I stayed with my Dad for a couple of months to nurse him back to health while deciding to do something with my life.I had a passion for literature and went back to my old job as an editor at the cities publishing company, and before I went to beg for my job back, my boss was already on my doorstep, ready to drag me back to my office as soon as she heard I was back in town“Coming”, I jogged downstairs to grab a couple of fruits to put in my bag because we were already late for me to eat breakfast. I hated doing this to Lelo, sponging off on her for a ride to work, but she insisted and told me she would gladly give me a lift until I was back on my own two feet. I wasn't making a lot of figures, but they were enough for me to keep up with the cost of living. I just recently moved

Layla's POVDylan was only arriving later on today and I had unlimited time to cook dinner for us. Lelo and Stacy were coming along with James, Stacy's new boyfriend.They have been dating for over a year now, and he involuntarily became a part of our little family. I was happy that Stacy finally found herself a decent, well-mannered guy who treats her like a queen. They are really adorable together, and Lelo and I secretly envied their love, it was genuine, almost too good to be true, but it was.There was a knock on the door, and before I could go and open, Lelo barged in and threw herself on one of the couches. She never knocked more than once. One knock was enough to let herself in and make herself at home. My Dad always wondered how she did it but soon got used to it, our home was her own.Stacy and James walked in right after her, not empty-handed of course. They came bearing gifts for Dylan and a bottle of wine. I hugged all of them and thanked them for the toys they bought Dyl

Layla's POVWhen we finished eating dinner, the girls helped with clearing the table and washing the dishes, leaving the kitchen spotless. I made it a habit to always wash the dishes before going to bed, no matter how tired or drained I was because nothing is more depressing than having to make up in the morning, late, with the sink filled with dirty dishes.Damon and James seemed to get along now, the episode at the door seemed to be all forgotten as they were even laughing and talking about sports. Dylan had fallen asleep in Damon's arms and Damon held him close to his chest as they spoke softly to avoid waking him up. Halfway through eating his dinner Dylan was already yawning and rubbing his eyes lazily.It was time for the crew to go back home, and I was practically begging Lelo with my eyes to not leave me alone with Damon, and she was dropping hints that she might have left her bathroom basin tap running and some other lame excuses on why she had to go home and cannot sleep ove

Damon's POV"Dammit Quinton, could you just tell me where she is?", I lost my cool when he kept on playing games with me and I wasn't in the moodIt's been a week since I last saw Layla and to be honest, I felt horrible about the things I said to her, more especially how I said them. I really didn't mean for things to accelerate this far because I didn't go over there to make her feel small or bad about the decisions she took. I had to respect them because that's what she wanted, and I'm afraid I may have made things worse.When Dylan arrived back home, he was so sad which was a first because he was always beaming with happiness whenever he came back from Layla and when I asked what was wrong, he told me that Layla was crying and locked herself in her bedroom all weekend and that Lelo came over and stayed the weekend to look after him. Dylan said he felt bad because there was nothing he could do to make his mother feel better, and I felt terrible knowing that I was behind all of that,

Layla's POVHappy anniversary, Mrs Kingsley, the only woman who will have my heart forever. My One And Only♡.Love, DamonI smiled to myself like an idiot and shook my head to snap out of it. Today was our anniversary, and like looks like I'll be spending it alone like last year again. I took the necklace and placed in my hand, trailing my fingers around the heart shape design in the middle, a wide smile playing on my lips.The front door suddenly opened, scaring the breath out of me and I clenched hard onto my chest. Damon walked in and his eyes caught mine. I'm not actually sure how I feel at this moment, should I be relived that he didn't just leave like a thief in the night, or should I be mad that he just left without leaving a note or something?“Good Morning”, he smiled, walking towards me. “I didn't think you'll be up by this time”I was frozen at the spot, and he noticed“Layla, are you okay?”, he leaned closer and waved his hand in front of my face, that's only when I starte

Layla's POVThere was a knock on the door and I had a feeling it was Lelo, she wanted to come over last night and when I texted her that Damon was here, she promised she will be here bright and early today to get the full coverage. I don't understand how she's still a banker when clearly she should have been a journalist.I walked to the door already practicing my smile for the moment her dark down eyes pierced into mine, but the moment I opened the door, a different pair and colour of eyes were staring at me and I frowned a little“Aren't you going to invite me in?”, his brows rose, and I stepped aside while opening the door widely for him to come in. I noticed he had a traveling bag with him, meaning he was going to stay for a couple of days and sighed after I closed the door behind him. When I turned to face him, he had his arms folded across his chest, looking at me with a hint of disapproval in his eyes.“So, are you going to hug me or what?”, I laughed nervously, noticing his ex

Damon's POVLayla and I were slowly drifting away from each other. Between our demanding jobs and raising two children, we hardly had time for ourselves, so that could be together. We were even just too busy just to sit down and have a decent conversation or catch up over dinner or a glass of wine. Things got worse when I started working at nights so that I could meet the deadlines and sent out reports and prep for meetings for the next day. By the time I got home, she was already asleep.I was really frustrated by this and there was nothing I could do about it. She loved her job, and I love when she does things that make her happy. I felt neglected, and I know I also neglect her sometimes, we were both to blame.I decided to grab lunch at a small deli across the street today, I just didn't feel like eating sandwiches for lunch. I could do with a proper double cheeseburger, and some air. Being cupped up all day in the office was tiring and suffocating. I asked Carla to take messages o
The Unwanted Matrimonial Epilogue
Layla's POVIt was Ava's first birthday today. She was in my arms as I stood by her nursery window, looking at the event coordinator & catering team busy decorating the backyard into a red and white Minnie Mouse theme party, and by the looks of things, they were not holding anything back, this was definitely going to be one heck of a celebration.I didn't see why we had to throw such a big party for a one-year-old, she won't remember anything and will probably be asleep most of the time. But hey, who am I to say anything?. Damon started making arrangements for this day when she was barely even six months old. Pecks of being a daddies' girl huh?"Happy birthday my angel", I kissed her temple as she tugged on her red and white dotted skirt as she looked up on me and tried to pull her pacifier out her mouth. She was always doing something with her hands, like couldn't keep still for a long time. It was the fourth time today she took of her headband and threw it on the floor and then have

Damon's POV"Layla?", I said softly and her gaze diverted to mine, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion for a second before she opened her mouth to speak"Who are you?"My jaw dropped, and I stared blankly at her, trying to speak, but no words were coming out of my mouth and my throat went dry."It's me", I breathed out, and she was giving me that Am I supposed to know you? Look. I felt my heart starting to beat slow. "It's me, Damon"She regained that look on her face, before I saw her lips purse into a straight line, trying to hold back a laugh, I quickly realized what she did."Very funny Layla", I faked laughed, and she laughed softly"I couldn't help it, I'm sorry", she continued laughing, and I clicked my tongue. I nearly had a reverse heart attack from that stunt. She cupped my face in her hand and caressed my cheek and smiled lazily."You look terrible", she said quietly before chuckling softly and shook her head. I laughed, taking her hands in mine and turned my head to kiss th

I was here just an hour ago""We don't have the exact time she was taken, but it's in the time frame between 20 and 30 minutes ago""What are you doing about it? She barely just got out of the intensive care unit, she's still fragile. She still needs medical attention", I didn't have the strength to fight anymore. I just feared for my daughters life. Who knows what can be going through the psychopath that took her, her life could be in real danger."We're doing the best we can to find her", the detective said and the monster in me awakened as I stood up to meet his gaze"How are you doing the best you can whilst you're still standing here while you're supposed to be out there looking for the person who took her?", I fired up, and he nodded his head as he motioned with his hands that I must cool down"I understand your frustration Mr Kingsley-""I don't think you do.

Damon's POV“Have you thought of a name yet?”, my mother walked besides me as we stood by my little angels nursery window, admiring her from afar and I wiped off the tears that were streaming down my cheek before shaking my headI felt her hands brushing me on my shoulder. “You'll have to name her soon. She needs a birth certificate”.“I know”, I folded my arms and shrugged.” I feel like it's something Layla and I have to do together. I don't know if I can-”I couldn't continue as I felt a lump growing in my throat, and I was close to crying, but I quickly composed myself.“Layla and I were thinking of naming the baby Ava if it was a girl”, I said as I turned to look at my mother, and she smiled warmly“It's a beautiful name”It's been three weeks since Layla fell into a coma. The doctors are not sure if she'll ever be able to wake up again. There's been speculations about possible swelling in the brain, but they haven't confirmed it yet.

Damon's POV"I'm looking for my wife, she was rushed here a while ago, apparently she's in labor or something", I said to the receptionist still trying to catch my breath as I rushed here immediately after I got the call from my mother"What's your wife's name, Sir?", she asked as she paged through something that seemed like a records book"Layla. Layla Kingsley", I took my tie off and unbuttoned the collar button so that I could breathe properly. The receptionist scanned through the book as quickly as she could."She's in the maternity ward on 3rd floor, second door on your left", she directed, and I thanked her before running towards the elevator, frantically pressing on the up buttonWhen I got off the elevator, my mother was pacing down in the waiting area and the closer I got, I saw that Layla's door was closed, and she stopped me just when I was about to walk in"You can't go in there", she warned"Why not?

Six months later....Layla's POV“I feel fat”, I mopped, looking at myself in the mirror and Damon walked behind me to kissed me on the cheek“Nonsense, you look beautiful”, he spun me around in a circle then hugged me from behind, and we looked at our reflections on the mirror. He placed both his hands on my baby bump.“You're breathtaking”, he smiled, and I couldn't help but to smile back at him. “How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?”, he asked, and I shook my head no. The level of attention I've been getting from him these past few months was just wow. Even hiccups were a big deal. I was even guided down the stairs like I'm a child. Mary monitored me 24/7 whilst he was at work and when he got back, I couldn't even breath in peace. He sometimes decided to work from home when Mary had other errands to attend to. But he was better. My father visited last month and he was worse. The constant breathing down my neck about my well-being, making sure I was eating well, exercising and

Dylan stayed behind and insisted on spending his last remaining days of his holidays with me. Harry would pick him up on Sunday because I was due back to work on Monday.

I missed them terribly.Dylan and I just finished packing our bags and were now preparing sandwiches and snacks for the road“What kind of fruits do you want me to pack for you?”, I opened the fridge“Apples and pears”, he said, and I laughed to myself. This had Lelo and James written all over it. Apples were Lelo's favorite and pears were obviously James favorites. I know this because Dylan wasn't a fan of eating fruits that much, I had to literally beg him to at least eat a fruit a day.“Since when do you like apples and pears?”, I questioned, and he rested his face on his tiny fingers on the counter“Auntie Lelo a
