FIFTY-FOUR!!...CHICAGO

last update Last Updated: 2023-09-23 08:37:45

ONE WEEK LATER

I gazed out of the window at the bustling streets of Chicago, the feeling of displacement making me such.

The city that had once felt like home now seemed like a foreign land.

Or rather, it's the saying “you never miss what you don't have.”

I was always used to life in the city alone. Isolating and locking myself up, being antisocial and in approachable.

I always preferred it, I loved it that way.

But now….

It just feels like something is missing.

It's been one week since I came back, yet I've not been able to adjust back to my life.

My apartment felt too cold and quiet, the city was too noisy…empty noises, and I couldn't shake the emptiness in me since I got here.

I missed the laughter, people randomly rushing into my room without knocking. Eating breakfast with my family.

I missed the sounds of deep baritone voices, filling the air.

I missed every single thing.

And I wonder if I'll ever be able to get back to loving this place again.

Mum had made it a task to call me

    The next day, I eagerly awaited Cherry's arrival at the apartment I called home in Chicago. The city felt a bit less intimidating, knowing that a piece of Decorah was about to walk through my door.She had refused to let me pick her up, so I had given her the detailed address of my place.Since this morning, I've cleaned and arranged the house more than five times, and cooked up a feast.I had no idea why I was so nervous and excited, but I just was.By the time she told me she was in my building, my heart was already racing from me pacing up and down the apartment.When the doorbell finally rang, I practically sprinted to answer it. There, standing on the doorstep, was Cherry, her radiant smile instantly lifting my spirits. “Hey beautiful!” She called and wrapped me up in a hug.I held her tight, breathing in and shuddering at the warmth. Something I've missed for a week. The connection of another human.“Cherry, it's so good to see you!” I exclaimed, releasing her and stepping bac

    Damn."Hannah?" Daniel called startling Me, "Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost?"Seen a ghost? I've seen something worse than that, and they were walking towards me with slow yet powerful strides."Let's go," I said, my heart thudding in my chest as I grabbed Daniel's hand, "come on, we need to leave now.""But why? What's wrong? Your face is all pale."Why was he asking so many questions?"I'll tell you later. Come on let's...." But it was too late to escape. The three men covered the last distance between us so fast, I felt trapped with nowhere to go.I didn't dare to look up, but I could feel their presence and their stare burning into my skin, reawakening a primal yearning in me."Hello, mate."The words sent a shiver down my spine. I turned, and there they were, Dean, Damon, and Damian. My emotions twisted and tangled as I looked at them, and for a moment, I was struck by how much I'd missed them. Those deep blue eyes that looked at me differently and made me fee

    Later that night, I walked into my apartment with a mixture of relief and frustration after the event. Daniel had been a gentleman throughout the evening, even when the triplets had shown up unexpectedly.He didn't ask any questions, thankfully, but his brow had raised curiously when I stepped out of the bathroom, and I could imagine how I looked.Perhaps freshly fucked.The moment I went out, I avoided the boys at all costs and convinced Daniel to bring me home. Now I sat down with Cherry, telling her about the night.“So, there they were, Cherry,” I began, still seething with anger at the triplets' audacity. “Dean, Damon, and Damian, like nothing ever happened. It's like they have no idea how much they've hurt me.”Cherry listened attentively, her expressive eyes reflecting sympathy and curiosity. “And how did you feel when you saw them?” she asked gently.I sighed, my frustration deepening. “At first, I felt this longing, like I'd missed them so much. But then, anger and betrayal

    “Ooohhh, looks like someone got an admirer,”I took my eyes off my laptop and turned to see Cherry leaning against my door frame with a bouquet of rose flowers in her hands.She was smiling sheepishly as she walked into my room.“What?” I asked confused.“This was delivered for you,” she stretched the flower to me and I took it, confused.“Hmmm. Who is it from?”There was no card on it, no note. Nothing that shows who would have sent it.“I have no idea. What do you think?” Cherry asked, rubbing her palms together in excitement, and I chuckled.I had no idea who it might be from. Maybe it's just a mistake?“My bet is on Daniel. Who knows? Perhaps it's him?” Cherry whispered, and I frowned.“Why does he need to send me flowers? And without a card? I already agreed to go on a date with him.”“Oh my.” Cherry gasped, her eyes widening dramatically, “you weren't joking when you Said your social life rate is a minus.”“Oh, come on, don't be cruel.”“Sending flowers is normal.

    "Ooohhhh, so feisty!" Damian said and snarled, "what are you gonna do next? Take a bite out of me?"My anger flared, "Do you really think I'm a joke? Am I just a joke and source of amusement to you? Huh??""You are not a joke, Hannah." Dean said shooting Damian a glare. He approached me with a cautious look, then smiled, "don't mind Dean. Please come and sit down."He gestured to an empty chair next to him.Sitting down in that elegant VIP lounge, my emotions were a tumultuous whirlwind. "What do you want from me?" I demanded, my voice laced with frustration.Their expressions shifted, remorse etching across their faces.Dean sat down beside me and he was the first to speak, his voice low and earnest. "Hannah, we wanted to apologize. We never meant to hurt you. What happened was a colossal mistake, and we deeply regret it."Damian and Damon nodded in agreement.I squeezed my brows, staring at them.Really?.That's all they are going to say to me?Apologizing after more than two we

    “We need to talk.”.They nodded and stepped into the apartment. With a deep breath, I pick the door and turn around, noting how suddenly small the apartment looks with them in it.“Please sit down,” I said, and they did.I sat down across from them, waiting for them to continue what they were saying.When they just kept on staring at me, I sighed and pressed on, “So…you Said you were leaving?”They exchanged a glance before nodding.“Yes, we are leaving next week.” Damon responded.“Hannah,” Dean called, “we actually wanted to know what your response would be to what we told you last night. Do you forgive us?”I bit my lip, staring into his eyes.Do I forgive them?I had no idea what to say or do.Even now, staring at them, my heart still yearns for them. My whole body still craved to just go into their arms.“I don't know,” I whispered.“Baby…”“No,” I snapped, standing up, my eyes already burning with unshed tears, “No, don't call me that. You hurt me.

    “Isabella…” Damian called, but I cut him off with one look.I tugged my arm from Isabella's grip and, without a single word, went into the kitchen.Mum wasn't around, but the lunch was ready, so I helped myself and went back to my room with my plate.I was barely done with the food when the door opened and the triplets came in, looking, sorry.“Sorry about Isabella,” Damon said ruffling his hair, “We just have to tolerate her bullshit for now, but it won't be for long, I promise.”.I sigh, “It's okay. I understand. So, how far have you guys come with the investigation and stuff?”They exchanged glances, then sat down on my bed.“Not really very far. All we have now is the video from the CCTV camera,” Dean answered.“Here's something I do not understand, though. What edge exactly does she have over you guys? What is keeping her in control?”Because it had to be something. She shouldn't have that much power just because of a pregnancy.“When Laura died,” Damon started, “Dad did everythi

    “Excuse me?” Alex growled, standing up from his chair. “What on earth are you talking about?”I don't think I've ever seen him that upset.The veins in his head were building, his jaw was clenching, and so were his fists.“Come on Alex,” Isabella responded, rolling her eyes, “you cannot say you aren't surprised. I'm going to be the mother of their first child. ““That's not really criteria. You can't force them to make you the Luna of the pack, Isabella. That's totally unreasonable.” Mum chimed in.“No. What's unreasonable is murdering my daughter and covering it up with your power. Murdering my daughter and not doing anything to bring the murderer to justice. That's what's unreasonable, Elena. You don't get to talk because you don't know how it feels.”Her expression has changed completely to anger. Her whole body was tense as she shot dagger at everyone on the table with her eyes.“Isabella,” Damon called, “What happened was totally my fault and I can't ever live it down. I apologiz

    The tiny cry woke me up from my nap.I opened my eyes slowly and the first sight my eyes caught, made my heart leap in joy.Dean was sitting on a rocking chair, with the baby in his hand…our daughter, and damn does she have a pair of lungs on her.“Are you doing fine over there, daddy?” I asked with a smile as he hummed to her.He lifted his eyes to me and grinned so widely my heart leaped again.“I'm fine. She will quiet down soon enough.” He said, “Damon and Damian went out to grab some provision. They will be back soon.”I nodded, resisting the urge to ask for the baby.I could tell he was enjoying the time with her.We were still at the hospital. Young Laura was born about twelve hours ago and that moment, the moment I heard her cry for the first time, was simply the best moment of my life.The triplets were equally thrilled too. I don't believe I've ever seen their eyes carry as much love and joy as they had when they stared at our little bundle of joy.Laura.Named after the you

    I frowned. My daughter? What did he mean his daughter? Surely, it could not be my mum because he seems to be the same age as her. And I'm the only lady present. Or is he speaking of another lady entirely? My daughter? The man seemed oblivious of my shock though as he marched towards Justin who was shaking, his eyes widened in shock. “Adam…” Mum called again, and he stopped, pausing for a moment and took in a deep breath, perhaps to calm his temper. Then slowly, ever so slowly, he turned to my mum and his expression changed. From angry, to something else. Guilt, remorse, pain, and …love? Again…who is this man? But deep down I already knew who he was. However, I was too shaken to admit that to myself because it couldn't be. “Elena…” He murmured and took a step forward, but my mum retraced with one step… silently making it clear that she didn't want him close. He got the message because his face tightened with more guilt. I walked beside my mum protectively. I have no idea

    “Excuse me?”“Take me instead, Justin,” I whispered and perched my ass on the edge of the bed, too weak to stand.I have no idea-absolutely no idea what I was doing, but mum never did anything wrong. Not for once. All she wanted was some peace and happiness.If Justin wanted a hostage, he should have held me instead.“Oh Hannah,” Justin chuckled, “Now that's very sweet and all, but I didn't leave any room for negotiation.”“Oh shut it Justin. This will be better for you, trust me. Holding me gives you more leverage over the triplets, the majority. Because they would never want to do anything to risk my life. Alex would sacrifice his wife for the pack. Your brothers would not do the same.”He paused for a few seconds while I struggled to calm my racing nerves. I can do this. I can do this.“What can I say? I'm surprised, Hannah, but who am I to say no to such a voluntary offer?”I breathed out a sigh of relief as he gave me details of where I was to come.“Now I have to warn you, beaut

    This can't be.Absolutely notThe triplets burst into the room, their faces filled with alarm and Alex right behind them.""What is wro... where on Earth is Elena?" Alex growled brushing past his sons.He grabbed my arms, "Where is your mum Hannah?"Let her go dad!" Damian barked as u broke into uncontrollable above and twisted away from his painful grip.In desperation I pointed to the note and Alex picked it up immediately.I watched his expression darken with anger as his eyes scanned the note. His anger was palpable, matching mine.I was Shaking, tears rushing down my cheeks."Dammit!" Alex hissed.Dean snatched the note from him and they read it together."What the...how could Justin do this?" Alex roared again.The guys all rushed to my side and I grabbed the first arm that came around me. I held onto him tightly and placed my head on Damian's chest, my body shaking with sobs.Not again, dear God please not again."Hannah..." Damon called and I shook my head when I heard the sym

God,” Andrea screeched snatching the stick from my hand, “I can't believe it. Oh my god this is so great”Great, I have no idea just yet if it was great.Hell, I was too short to feel anything.“I was not expecting this,” I whispered, and Andrea snickered.“With all that sex you've been having, lately, what were you expecting?”I shook my head.No, I definitely wasn't expecting this. A baby? I'm gonna have a baby?Oh my god!I'm gonna be a mum.I placed a hand on my stomach and shuddered in delight and shock.I have a tiny life forming inside me right now.“What am I going to do?” How am I going to tell the triplets? How are they gonna react? Will they even want this?Hell, I have no idea. We have never for once, brought up the topic of a baby before.“First off…" Andrea grabbed my hand and led me to the bed, “You have to sit down and take a deep breath. Sec

    I don't believe I've ever seen Dean so angry. His blue eyes turned a darker shade of golden instantly, and he marched towards his brother, murder on his face.Before Justin could react, Dean's fingers were wrapping around his neck, pulling him up.“This is what you don't do, Justin. Speak that way about our mate. And don't you dare lay your filthy fingers on her next time. Because if the thought as much as crosses your mind, I'll forget the fact that you are my little brother, and I'll crawl your eyes out and send you to the grave.”Even I was scared at the tone of his voice. Justin was coughing and grabbing his arms, the veins in his face popping as his skin turned red.“Dean, let go of your brother this very instant!”None of us heard when Alex came into the room, but his loud and deep voice was enough to snap Dean out of his rage.He released Justin, who staggered back, coughing and scratching his throat.“Can someone tell me what's happening here?” Mum walked slowly towards Alex

    Making lemonade out of lemons is one thing this family was really good at, no matter what.The way we always found time to laugh despite the threats lurking around.The way we don't have to glance over our shoulder every damn second in fear.One of those moments of making lemonades was now.The kitchen was alive with laughter and chatter. We had all gathered around, sharing stories, jokes, and enjoying each other's company. The clinking of dishes, the aroma of something delicious cooking on the stove, and the warmth of togetherness filled the air. It was a welcome break from the chaos and tension that had consumed our lives recently.Alex was entertaining us with tales of his youth, back when the pack was beginning to take shape.“So, you see,” he said, “back in the day, we didn't have half the luxuries we do now. We relied on our wits and each other to survive.”Damon chimed in, “Dad, you never told Ma'am Elena about the time you tried to cook and set the whole kitchen on fire.”Alex

    How Justin manages to always come in when we are talking about him never ceases to amaze him.It's like he has a radar or something.Or he's a ghost which always appears when his name is being mentioned.He stepped into the room, his presence commanding and filled with an air of violence.“Oh finally, you decide to show up.” Dean's voice was laced with frustration.Justin gave a sardonic smile, his eyes narrowing as they roamed over our family. “Well, well, isn't this cozy? I can see that you guys don't even miss me at all. I'm almost heartbroken but then…"I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, my anxiety growing. “Justin, let's talk this through. We can discuss your concerns, but there's no need for hostilities.” Alex murmured.Justin waved a dismissive hand, a wicked gleam in his eye. “Hostilities? Oh no, dad. I'm just here to set things straight. You've all had your time ruling this pack, and look where that's gotten us. Chaos, instability, and secrets.”Damian chimed in, “What do y
