Chapter 86
I smile in victory as I stare at the pregnancy test in my hand. Negative. Oh mercies. I can't believe Mia wants me to be pregnant. I mean she's got Kennedy for now and I'm not ready for one. I'm too young for that and plus Gray doesn't even want a baby. I get rid of the two pt which I used just to be sure as I wash my hands.
Maybe I'm just getting the flu or the food doesn't match my stomach. I look at my reflection and walk back to the gathering. People are already dancing and Gray is having a conversation with Damon. Both of them glaring at each other as they talk. I see Mia with Antonio as they dance. Samara is talking with a friend. She had to scowl at me when Mia went to collect PT from her. She got those in her bag. So weird. Gray looks my way and walks out on Damon. Damon raises his glass of wine to his lips and looks at me.
" You're okay?"
" Yeah."
" My mom gave you a PT."
Chapter 87 I blink my eyes and look down at this tatted arm around my waist. I look at my side and Gray's innocent face sleeps next to me. He holds me like I am gonna fall off or probably get kidnapped by some kidnappers. I turn to lay on my side as Gray's hand absently slides down my waist and stops right on my butt. My head lay on his other arm like a pillow and my leg is in between his. We're both still bare , barely covered by the white covers. I can't believe we sneak out of Mia's party to come have sex. I run my hand down Gray's bed hair as he squirms. I kiss his forehead and carefully unwrap his arms around me. I need a bath and I need to brush my teeth. I carefully slip my foot from between Gray's. I turn to get out of the bed but a strong tatted arm pulls me back as I let out a loud giggle. Gray presses a light kiss at my nape and then my shoulder. " Sneaking out?" He as
CHAPTER 88 " We need to talk..." I blink my eyes at her as she walks in. " Ariel, who's at the door?" Leslie asks and peeks her head out to the living room. She freezes when she sees mom. " Mom." Leslie mutters. My mom sighs and looks around our house. " Ariel, where's your room?" She asks. " Everything okay?" " No. Now where's your room?" She asks and stalks down the hallway. I follow behind her and point to my room. She opens it and we enter. I shut the door behind her and lean against it as I cross my arms. " I've been calling you for over a week now. You didn't respond to any of my calls." Mom starts. " Probably because I didn't see any calls." " Where did you go? I came here almost a week ago to check on you guys and Leslie told me you went on a trip. What type of trip?" I sigh." Mom, I went on a trip to Hawai
CHAPTER 89 I can't believe I'd sit in a park eating ice cream because of any reason. How do people feel comfortable eating this? Kennedy made me come to the park after she dismissed her father's arrival. I bought her ice cream and she forced me to buy it for myself because she doesn't wanna be the only person eating ice cream. Fuck me. I frown and force myself to eat my ice cream as we sit in silence. She's been awkwardly quiet as she eats her ice cream. " Why the park Kenny?" I ask her. " It's pretty." I sigh and nod. " Am I expected to finish this?" I ask, referring to my ice cream. I haven't taken a lot. Just a little. " Yes. Let's be sad together." She smiles at me and looks away. I serve the ice cream and let it stay on my tongue before swallowing. How do people eat this? " You're gonna g
CHAPTER 90 " No way. Jamal. This is too much." I tell him and look around. I can't believe he bought me a house. I mean it's beautiful and obviously expensive. He has done a lot and I really can't take it. " Nothing is too much for you, baby." He kisses my temple and wraps his arms around my waist. " But Gray, this is expensive. A penthouse?" " If you don't want it , you can just move in with me. You want that?" He asks and turns me around so that I'm looking at him. " No way. You know I can't move in with you." " Exactly. Reasons I bought you this apartment. You've always wanted space and your own apartment. I had to make that wish come true. You have your own place now." I smile and wrap my arms around his torso and I hug him. His right hand rubs up and down my back as he kisses my temple. " Thank you so much for everything. I don't really know how to thank you."
CHAPTER 91 " That was harsh." " I just don't know why , but I like the bastard." " And Nick?" " We aren't dating and I can't even sleep with any of them. Where's the fun in that? Why did your boyfriend make such rules?" " To avoid mistakes and issues. Dating each other in a Mafia is risky and you know that." She huffs. " Reid is hot. I bet he got his dick pierced." " Whoa. Hold on , why would you say that?" " His eyebrows are kinda pierced and you know it. There's nothing wrong if he decides to pierce the D'." " God, I need to see the priest for confession." I mutter and she chuckles. She parks the car and we step out. The valet man takes the key as we walk through the double doors. I look around the store and it's covered with countless mannequins with beautiful dresses on it. " Wow." " Let's rock." Alexa chuckles as she looks at each
" And I'll start with the ones you love. Kennedy Carter?" I turn away from Alexa as I turn to look at Gray and the man he's talking to. What's I'll start with the ones you love. What is that supposed to mean?" Don't fuckin try me bitch. Stay the fuck away from her or I swear to God, I'll kill you without thinking twice about it. What Is it with you fuckin Russians. Because I killed that fucker you called a brother."" Maybe you should feel what it feels like to loose the ones you cared for. You see that bitch of yours. I won't just kill her man, fuck no. I'll make her suffer. You'll watch me fuck her tiny little pussy every single day and I'll ask my men to fuck her afterwards. I'll make sure I send the tapes to you , so that you will have to feast your eyes…" Oh my God. Gray grabs the guy by his dress shirt collar as people stops their interactions." What the fuck is happening?" A
" What if moscov is serious, about his threats?" I ask Gray. After that dance with Sinclair at that party , I didn't tell him I had a birth mark. I just walked out on him and asked Gray to take me home. We left leaving the others behind and that was yesterday. I haven't stopped thinking about what he said. How did he know I had a birth mark behind my ear? It's not like someone told him that? " Then obviously he's looking for death." Gray says casually. I finally move into my apartment and we're in my bedroom. He's shirtless because I choose to wear his dress under my panties as we cuddle. He lay on his side with his right arm safely curl around my waist drawing non-stop circles. " Will this death thing ever stop?" I ask. " Yeah. If moscov is gone. He's a dick and I hate his guts." He says and caresses my back to my butt. " You shouldn't worry about that. I won't let it happen."
No she didn't?I thought I warned her. " You didn't..." I tell her. She facepalms herself with both hands and puffs out her breath. " You did?" I ask her and she nods. " Why would you do that? Alexa I warned you, I told you to quit your sexy plans with Reid." " It's not my fault. Okay it's half of my fault and the other fault is my hormones. I just can't control them around hot guys. I'm so fuckin screwed." " Why did you do it? Did he asked you for it?" " Not at all. When you left the party with Gray , Reid drove me back to my apartment. I ask him to come in for water at least and then the shit happened. I kissed him and sadly we fucked. Real good." She shuts her eyes and bites her bottom lips like someone who just fantasized about it. I scowl at her and smack her head. She opens her eyes and curses. " Why can't you control yourself?"
SIX YEARS LATER I drop my car key on the kitchen counter and run my hands down my hair. Being a mom is so difficult and hard. Haven is always getting into one trouble or another. Last week, his teacher reported him for getting into a fight with an older kid. Gray is barely bothered. ” Look mom , I’m sorry.” Haven whines as he follows me. ” Go to your room.” I turn around and glare at him. Today , he got into another fight because the eight years old kid called him names. He’s got a terrible temper. One I’ve never seen before. Gray wasn’t like this or maybe Gray was worse when growing up. I remembered he said he got kicked out of several highschool because of his fighting and I can’t withstand seeing Haven being kicked out. I squat to his height and run my hand down his black hair. He looks like Gray. Same grey colored orbs. Hair and even his father’s facials. ” Haven , you don’t fight at school, it's wrong
Chapter 110 " What's up with you Ariel?" Piper beams as I slide into the booth next to Brandon. Piper and Alexa sit across from us at our usual restaurant ' sands and winches'. It's been a long time since we hung out together in this restaurant. All thanks to life. " I've been good." I say with a big smile as I arrange my yellow sundress. " What's up with you guys? I swear I miss college so much." I sigh and bite my bottom lip. " Fuck college. It's just been the same boring shit. How are you holding up with online classes?" Brandon asks. " It's been great." I say.
CHAPTER 109 |•GRAY•| I still can't believe what I'm seeing. I battled death for over six months and when I finally won , I decided to check on the one girl who makes me happy and she's pregnant. Like fully pregnant. How can she do that? " You're pregnant?" I ask her. She stares at me like I'm a ghost and I can't fight back the anger that I had to come check on her the moment I was okay and she's pregnant. Who the fuck got her pregnant? Cage? Or maybe some dimwit. " Who the fuck got you pregnant?" " You're serious?" She asks me. It hurts me that she's barely concerned about my reaction to finding her pregnant after waking up from a six months coma. " Ariel, who got you pregnant?" I ask her. " I'm sorry." She simply states. " You're sorry? Ariel you're pregnant and you're saying you're sorry. I was in a co
Chapter 108 Six months later… " Dear God, I wanna say that I'm grateful for everything that you've done for me. I wanna appreciate the fact that you looked after me and Gray junior, I totally appreciate that. I've sinned against you and I'm sorry. I just wanna ask the same favor I've been asking for the past six months. Please bring Gray back. I want him back…" I sniffle and look down at my baby bump. " His baby wants him back. Please. I know that he has done a lot of stuff. Bad stuff , yes, but please he's a good man. It's been six months now and I'm still asking you for this little favor. I want Gray back, please, God." I weep silently and bite my lip. I look up at Jesus on the cross and look down at my belly. Dad walks beside me and wraps his arms around my shoulder to comfort me. He woke up from a coma five months ago and Gray's still missing. The first month , I always hoped. Stand opposite my
CHAPTER 107 ” Oh my God…” I groan and rush into my bathroom to throw up. I rest both hands on the edge of the sink and puke out whatever thing I ate. What is this called, baby sickness? I breathe in and out and look up at my reflection. ” You’re okay in there?” Alexa calls out. ” Yeah. I’m just having baby sickness I think.” ” Baby sickness? What the fuck is that?” Alexa asks and walks into the bathroom. I turn on the faucet to let it rinse out my vomit as I wash my hands. ” I think it’s because of Alejandro. We killed someone.”” Seriously? You regret that now?” She asks. I turn off the tap and turn to look at her. ” I didn’t mean that. Maybe it upset the baby.” I shrug as she chuckles. I laugh and walk to her as we walk out of the bathroom to my room. I remove my peacoat and toss it on the couch. Alexa pushes the drapes aside to reveal the city below. ” Damn. That was crazy. At fir
CHAPTER 106 I sit opposite Alexa on the kitchen stool as she goes about her plan on Alejandro. My phone rings and I pick it up from the countertop. My heartbeat stops at the caller ID. Oh God, what am I supposed to tell her? " What? Who's that?" " Mia." " Holy fuck." She sighs and runs her fingers through her hair. " What am I supposed to tell her? I'm just gonna break it once I hear her voice. She's obviously gonna ask me where Gray is and I'll start crying again." I say. I haven't talked to her and I'm about to sob. " Just calm down and act normal." I nod and take several deep breaths as I answer the call. " Oh my God Ariel. How are you?" She asks on the phone. I inhale and sigh. I wipe a tear that slip out of my eyes at once. " I'm good, Mia. How are you?" " I'm fine. How's the baby? Hope you're eating well? Pregnancy is worse than a heavy toll.
CHAPTER 105 " Emergency! Someone's getting a panic attack!" The voice is muffled and I barely can hear anything. I lay on a stretcher as I'm pushed down the hospital's hallway. I watch the ceilings pass by as I try to breathe. I can't breathe. Everything is blurry as the stretcher continues to move. Two paramedics surround me , talking non-stop and giving me promises that I'll be fine. The next minute, I'm in a room with doctors and nurses trying to give me treatments. Gray's been shot. I can't even think of losing Gray without telling him he's gonna be a father soon. " What's happened to Gray?" I choke out as a nurse tries to press me back down to steady my breathing. " Someone get her an oxygen mask!" The doctor yells. " She needs a tranquilizer..." The doctor mutters and snaps at another nurse. I feel my hands tremb
CHAPTER 104 |•GRAY•| This is so fuckin crazy. I can't imagine sitting across from Sinclair to eat dinner in some fancy restaurant. This is so fucked up. I'm pretty sure we're both gonna flip and cause a scene. Why did he have to be her father? I watch her get up from my lap as she smiles triumphantly. I bet she did a victory dance in her head. Oh man. The doorbell rings at once. She smiles and walks to the door. Probably the delivery guy who's here to deliver the food she ordered. My phone rings and I retrieve it. Reid's name displays on my screen as I swipe the answer icon. " Hey dick." He says once I pickup. " Seriously?" I scoff. I hear Ariel converse with the delivery guy and they are taking too long. " What are you doing?" He asks and i roll my eyes. I'm still stressed abo
CHAPTER 103 " Ariel, I'd rethink my decisions if I were you…" Alexa says as I bring out the pills from the drawers. " When did you buy these?" She asks. " Two days after I discovered I was pregnant." She sighs and sits on the bed. " You know when Leslie was pregnant, you hated the fact that she had to terminate the baby. You can't play that same role you talked about." I sigh and turn around on my seat to look at her. " But Gray doesn't want a baby." " Both of you produced Junior. You both had sex like every other partners and boom there comes a baby. You're gonna tell him that you're pregnant. If he freaks out and tells you to get rid of it , then it's fine." " Oh God." " Don't you want the baby?" She asks. " I don't know. Right now, I don't even know what I want." " Okay, forget the fact that Gray doesn't want a baby, do you want to keep the baby?" " Who w
