Darian had just concluded a meeting with the members of the Dawson family and was headed to his office when he got an unexpected call from Lena. She was panicking on the phone as they talked, something terrible had happened to Isabella and she had been rushed to the hospital by Harrison, but Lena was so scared she had to call Darian to let him know about it.Jay got to the hospital shortly after they got the call. He parked the car and Darian dashed out of the car, heading into the hospital. He met Lena at the entrance where she was pacing the passageway, he ran to hold her when he caught a glimpse of her."Hey, are you alright?" He pulled her into a bear hug, kissing the top of her head."Yes, Darian. But Isabella isn't fine and I am so scared." She relaxed in his hold."What happened?""We were together when she complained of a terrible migraine. I was confused and didn't know what to do. Darian, I was about to call you or the bodyguards to take us to the hospital when she suddenly
"Please have a seat." The Doctor said when they entered his office. He shut the door, walking down to perch on the armchair. Pulling out his glasses, he rubbed his palms together and began. "She was unconscious before she was rushed here and now she's fallen into a coma." "Again?" Darian questioned, worried. "Again? Has she ever been in a coma?""Yes, she has," Lena replied to the Doctor. "But that doesn't matter here, what can we do to help her?" She asked the Doctor, her eyes intently fixed on him."You have to be patient. Her amnesia is messing with her health, and she's been stressing her brain lately. The stress led to the severe migraine, that was why she passed out." She nodded her head understandably as the Doctor explained to them. "She's been trying a lot to remember things from her past, I guess so." Leaning on the armchair, the Doctor played with a pen in his hand. His lips quivered into a small scowl, he heaved a sigh and continued. "You talked about her falling into a
Darian made sure all the members of the Dawson family were present before he proceeded with the reason he called a meeting for the second time that day. He could see the scowls on their faces as they stared at him, but he cared less about them or whatever they had in their minds."Why was this impromptu meeting summoned, Darian?" Gaius was the first to ask a question. He looked up to where Darian was seated on the throne chair and quirked his eyebrows."There is something important that I would like to tell you about." Darian cleared his throat. Trepidation threatened to eat up his mind, but he shook it off, he was far better than the fears. He was the Don and whatever he said was the right one. "I met with someone recently. Someone you all know." He got up and walked around the room, roaming from table to table."Who is that?" Judson asked when Darian halted his steps in front of him.Darian chuckled. "You've never talked about my mother."Gaius's bewildered look gave him away, he sh
Lena felt a body pressed against hers as she cut the dough into smaller bits. Tina was away and she was badly craving some snacks; the perks of being a pregnant woman.She knew who it was without looking back to confirm. Smiling, she leaned back in his arms. "Darian, let me do this.""You shouldn't be cooking, Lena. I will order whatever you want. You don't have to stress your ass off in the kitchen." He complained, taking the knife away from her."I want homemade snacks, I don't want you to order them." She groaned, veering around to face him. "Maybe you should have taken your culinary lessons seriously. If you had, we wouldn't have to argue over this because you will cook for me.""Maybe I should have. You know I was interested in learning everything about the kitchen, just for you, I figured there would be days like this, but duty calls, Lena. The mafia affairs and my job wouldn't let me do that." He leaned a little to kiss her lips."Er," she smiled smugly as she stared at him. "I
Lena took a close look at Isabella as she downed the coffee she served her. She dropped the cup on the slab that was attached to the hospital bed and peered over her shoulder to look at Lena. Smiling, she picked up the cup again and sipped from it three more times before dropping it again. "How are you, Lena?" She asked.Lena gave her a surprised look when she mentioned her name. She didn't expect it, Isabella hadn't said many words to her since she got out of the coma. She hadn't even mentioned her name and she somehow feared that she didn't know who she and Darian were anymore.She stood to her feet, walking to sit on the bed. "Isa," she drawled, tears forming in the corner of her eyes. She gripped Isabella's hands and stared into her eyes. "You remember me?" She asked, pointing at herself."Yes, I do. Why would I forget you?" Isabella smiled, leaning against the wall. "I do remember you vividly, Lena.""Why? If you remember me, why haven't you spoken to me for two days? I have vis
Two weeks later, Isabella was back home, hale and hearty. Darian didn't want to stall anymore, so he organised a mini-meeting between himself, Isabella and Lena. He organised the meeting to discuss about himself with Isabella, and reveal the whole truth to her.Lena crouched next to Isabella, their eyes were on Darian. He smiled, clearing his throat as he initiated the discussion."I hope you feel better?" He asked Isabella.She wavered to the side, placing her hand on her chest to check if he was talking to her. "Yes," Darian nodded his head."Oh, I see." Isabella leaned her back on the couch and looked at Lena who was encouraging her to speak out loudly. "I am fine, I am just surprised that you care about me. Since when did you start to care about me?" She asked, smiling.Darian pressed his lips together and said nothing. "I called you here to let you know some things about the past. Things you probably don't even know happened before.""And what are those?" Isabella's voice boomed
Lena rolled slightly on the bed, tossing from her side of the bed to the part Darian occupied. She wasn't certain if it was because she ate late the previous night or the food didn't suit her taste since she'd been craving different things. She didn't get her cravings because Darian was unavailable and Tina was off work, she had to make do with whatever that was available in the house. She clutched her tummy with her hands, a nauseous feeling cramming her insides. She wanted to throw up so badly, and it was still very early in the morning.She tapped Darian's shoulder but he didn't budge."Darian," she tried to hold in the feeling but the urge to throw up got stronger. She tapped Darian again and when he didn't wake up, she jumped out of bed and hurried to the bathroom. Emptying her bowel, she groaned out in pain.She wondered what was wrong with her, she wasn't feeling feverish but nausea and the urge to constantly throw up was at its peak.After she vomited what was in her tummy,
Lena had gone to the hospital with the bodyguards, leaving Darian at home with Isabella and Tina. He had been in his study for over an hour now and he suddenly craved coffee. When he couldn't get across Tina through the intercom, he decided to leave the study room and get to the kitchen.Isabella was seated on a couch in the living room, her eyes fixated on the blank television screen. Darian wondered what she was staring at that got her extreme attention. He ignored them and proceeded to the kitchen but he couldn't take further steps, thoughts of Isabella filled his head and he decided to stop to have a conversation with her.He paced the living room, not knowing how to incite the conversation with them. Isabella noticed him but she said nothing, when Darian didn't stop walking around the living room, she cleared her throat and spoke out."I want to leave your house."Her words caused Darian to waver, he sent a glare to her and shook his head. "Where do you plan to go if you leave my
