Jade Mitchell POV"Can you guys speed this up? Emily and Tyler will be here in twenty minutes," I told the boys who were finishing setting up Olivia's crib in the couple's room.It had been five days since the birth. Caroline had simply disappeared without telling anyone who the father of her child was. Josh returned from his trip as soon as he received a message from Justin saying that Olivia would like him more because he had witnessed her birth.As a result, Josh was at the front door the next day with a load of bears, dolls, and pink things, turning the guest room into the "Toy Room," claiming that Olivia wouldn't even remember Justin when she saw it. I think he was quite disappointed when he saw the newborn who only knew how to sleep and feed.We had to fix all the windows in the house that were hit by the shots, replace the glass with bulletproof glass, and hire a security battalion, both for the days they stayed at the hospital and here at home. Tyler didn't even come home anym
Emily POV"Tyler, stop that," I said as he kept looking back, telling him to check if everything was okay."Are you sure she's comfortable in this car seat?" he asked, turning his attention back to the road."She's sleeping," I said, looking at the little one in front of me, the most beautiful thing in the world. The baby had more hair than I had ever seen, like cotton candy, all pink.I was so happy, but Caroline's situation intrigued me, and there was still Johanna and Paul Mitchell, who, from all indications, had left town because they had crossed the authorities. But it could be a lie."And your parents?" I asked."It seems they really left town, but we're prepared in case they come back or try anything.""And Caroline?""We have no news of her anyway; stop reminding me of bad things," he said, looking away again."Tyler! Pay attention to the traffic," I altered my voice a bit, accidentally waking up Julie."There, see, you woke her up," he said, shaking his head."Hurry up, only
Jade Mitchell POVThe night had fallen, and Emily and Tyler had retreated to their room, fussing over their daughter. Josh had gone out with some girl, and Justin was in the living room with me, though we kept our distance. While he watched TV, I perused some random fashion magazine.Boredom was the predominant feeling, and Justin paid me no attention; he was engrossed in an episode of the Ellen show. Lost in thought, I perked up upon hearing the voice of my favorite singer, Shawn Mendes. Excitedly, I rushed to the front of the TV, almost kissing the screen."Young people and their peculiarities," Justin remarked from behind."Something big, I feel it happening, out of my control, push and pull, and then it's grabbing me, feel it in my bones like whoa oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh whoa," I sang along."Your voice is actually quite beautiful," he said, smiling. "But it's past the kids' bedtime," he added, turning off the television."Oh, you didn't just do that,"
POV de JustinI heard strange noises coming from Jade's room and decided to check it out. I knocked on the door and called her, trying to understand what was happening. When she opened her eyes abruptly, I realized I had startled her.She, furious, questioned my presence in her room. Confused, I explained that I had heard strange noises and just wanted to make sure everything was okay."What are you doing in my room?" she snapped angrily."I... I don't know. You were making strange noises," I replied, confused."Get out now, you pervert!" she practically shouted."Me? At least it wasn't me moaning in my sleep," I said, laughing. She looked at me furiously and kicked me out with punches.As I was being expelled, I heard Jade screaming, expressing her irritation and making it clear that I shouldn't enter her room without permission. She almost fell as she kicked me out, but I managed to hold her by the waist in time."You don't seem so angry now," I commented when she was furious. Jade
Emily POVAfter Luke left and Josh spilled the beans to Tyler, he practically came home in thirty minutes, even though he had gone to sort out some things in a nearby town."I've told you that you didn't need to come back," I said, putting Olivia in her crib."How come? Josh overheard your conversation," he said, looking at our baby and making sure she was well settled."I know how to take care of my daughter," I huffed, irritated. "And if Josh overheard, did he tell you what I said to Luke?" I replied seriously."He did," Tyler continued following me through the house, not stopping."So, Tyler, why all this drama? Haven't I given you enough proof that I love you?" I asked angrily."I don't know," he sighed, coming to hug me, and I ended up giving in to feeling his touch again."I should be the insecure one here," I responded apprehensively."Why is that?" he asked, raising his eyebrows in confusion."Because I'm ugly and fat, you're handsome, rich, and all the women on our street wan
Justin POV When jade mentioned that she had been invited to sing at an event, I knew I had heard that story before. I just needed to do a bit of research and found some information about a gang that trafficked teenagers to be sold like commodities. Deep down, I wished it wasn't true, but all the pieces matched. "Where's Jade?" I asked Josh. "Just took a taxi to the event," Josh replied, shrugging, focused on the TV show. "Darn it! Did she leave any address?" "In the phone book; I think she wrote it there," he said, still engrossed in solving a Rubik's cube. I rushed to the phone book, and there it was. May God help me. I took the first car I saw, which happened to be Josh's; he always left the keys around. I started driving as fast as I could, probably ran four red lights – sorry for the fines, Josh. Jade was the girl who needed my care; that much was clear. She shouldn't have reached the address yet; it was quite far anyway. However, I couldn't find any taxis going in that dire
Tyler's POV"How was yesterday? Did they like you?" I asked Jade as she joined us for breakfast."They set her up; I was there," Justin spoke in front of her. They exchanged glances, and then she nodded, smiling weakly."Yeah, they liked me," she finally sat down.The breakfast table was abundant with various fruits and natural juices. I insisted that the maid prepare it so Emily could have a healthier diet. After all, she was breastfeeding our daughter, and the doctor said everything the mother eats influences the milk production and quality. Since then, I've been convincing Emily to have a healthier diet for the sake of our baby, and everyone around us ended up joining our diet to encourage Emily."She's asleep," Emily said, entering the kitchen with the baby monitor in hand."Of course, she swaps night for day," I said, pulling her to sit on my lap."When will she learn the difference?" Josh asked."She's a baby; she can break any rule," Jade replied, shrugging."Speaking of that,
Tyler's POVEmily's reaction startled me, but in some way, I was already anticipating it. She had to kill her own father, and this change in her personality was more than expected. However, I didn't want her to change. This world can transform people, but not always for the better, and she shouldn't lose her essence because of our family circumstances.Anyway, I hadn't killed Luke. I despised the guy, but he could be useful, and a man is capable of anything to stay alive."So, you're going to let him live?" Josh asked incredulously."He can work for us, gathering information from Johanna and Paul Mitchell. In the meantime, we just keep him at a distance, and I know how to do that," I said, grabbing his beer."I don't think Emily will agree with that," he said, shrugging."She doesn't need to know.""Justin, what do you think about this?" Josh asked, but there was no response. Justin was looking at his phone and laughing like a fool."We're talking to you, idiot!" I said, throwing a pi
