last update Last Updated: 2023-01-13 11:53:59

Four days had passed and they were still keeping each other at arm's length. Lena couldn't bear the sharp pain she felt in her chest whenever Darian was around her. The silent treatment was killing her, she knew she had to talk things out with him.

Darian had been in the study room for over eight hours now. She had been waiting for him in the room, when he was taking more time than he used to spend in study, she left the room and hurried to meet him.

She barged in, slamming the door shut. Darian's eyes flickered towards her direction as she sauntered in, he twirled a pen in his hand and went back to what he was doing before she interrupted him.

"Is this how we are going to live, Darian?" She asked, anger slightly evident in her voice. "Are you going to keep ignoring me?"

"What do you want, Lena?" He avoided her eyes. He couldn't bring himself to look at her, not after what went down between him and Thelma. He regretted every moment he spent at Thelma's place cheating on Lena, he was a

    "Are you sure she'd like these?" Darian positioned the coffee cup on the same tray that contained pesto eggs, French toast, bagels, and waffles. He had asked Tina to stay overnight to help him out with the preparation of the food. He wanted to surprise Lena with breakfast in bed. He didn't know what to do to placate her, he had missed her terribly and he felt starting with breakfast was the best way to approach her that morning."Yes, she likes bagels so much and French toasts are her favorite kind of toasts." Tina pursed her lips, "I am not just sure you prepared them with the appropriate ingredients. I mean you did, but there was a time you added too much sugar to the waffles." She said, cringing."Why didn't you stop me?" He took a bite of the waffles. "It tastes good. I don't know my way around the kitchen, but I want to cook for her." He sighed frustratedly."She'd appreciate whatever you do." She assured him. "Do you want me to serve this on the dining table?""No, I am serving

    Lena was all smiles as she sat in the car waiting for Darian to come to get the door for her. He had asked her to wait behind him while he walked her out of the car and into the restaurant. She was happy he was giving her the princess treatment she had always wished for, it was too good to be true and she was ready to savor every good moment she would spend with him.He linked their arms as they stepped into the restaurant he had booked for them to have lunch. It was weekend; he had all the time in the world to spend with her."I don't know if you'd like it here, I have been here just once for a business lunch and I must confess that they have good taste in everything." He said, leading her towards the entrance."Thanks for thinking about me," Lena gripped her long blue sleeveless gown with her fingers and walked meticulously, her heels clanging against the tiled floor. She felt she was overdressed for a lunch date but Tina assured her she looked great and Darian wanted her to look h

    "What do you mean by my father's killers are back?" Darian halted in his tracks, sending a glare at the old man who didn't flinch as he waddled towards the portal."One of the culprits who attacked us at the anniversary party spat some words, but he was vague." Gaius stopped moving with swift gaits. Hitting his walking stick on the floor, he veered around to look at Darian.Jay dutifully bowed his head, staying unshaken beside Darian."He said some things before he died." Gaius continued."Did you kill him? I ordered that none of them should be killed until they confess." Darian groaned angrily."He has been injected with poison before they came to attack. No one killed him, our Doctor detected the poison in his system, it's the type that lasts for a month before getting its job done." "I don't understand what you are saying, Gaius. Could you explain better?""You see, the men who came to disrupt our party are ex-convicts. The people who sent them did an illegal deal with the cops to

    Darian whacked the dashboard angrily, it felt like Jay was moving extremely slow tonight, his pace used to be faster than this. "Go on faster, Jay. Get down the car, I will drive!" He yelled at him, almost taking the steering wheel from him."No, I can't let you drive in this state. We will die if I leave the wheel to you. You are not in the right state of mind." Jay increased the acceleration of the car to a higher one, and the car jumped through the highway, not stopping at any traffic sign; that was what Darian wanted."Fuck!" He flailed the dashboard again. "Fuck! I shouldn't have left her tonight, I should have stayed with her." Her number was now switched off and Harrison and Dickson weren't picking up their calls. Darian called the numbers of all the bodyguards at home, but none of them picked up. Pain surged through his insides, he was scared something had happened to Lena. Her voice wasn't bright the way it used to be and now he couldn't get through to her. "Go faster, Jay!"

    A month and two weeks had passed after the incident at the anniversary party. Darian was still trying to find those behind it, but the culprits they caught didn't confess to anything more after that night he met with them. He had ordered that they be released from the dark room, locked up in the part of the family house that was not in use, and properly taken care of; he had the hope they would help him someday, he had to keep them alive and healthy.He was working on some office work in the study when the door pulled open to Lena. A small yawn slipped out of her mouth as she walked toward him. She was wearing the same pair of pyjamas he wore, the slides were the same too. She chuckled when she saw it. She had purposely done that."Hello, I was wondering if you'd come back to the room." She combed her hair with her fingers and packed it into a not-too-tight bun, fastening the tip with the band she wore before. She drew out a chair and dragged it next to him, she perched on it and smi

    Lena trudged up and down the casino pit, serving drinks to the men who were there to gamble. She had served four times now. As she went to get the last glass of liqueur, she halted at the bar counter, hand perched on her side. With bloodshot eyes, she glared at the man who poured the drink at the bar and questioned. "Where are the other hostesses?""I should ask you that, I am not one of you." The big man roared, his voice sounding like a sharp machete forcefully cutting irons. "Whatever!" She stretched her neck and jerked a middle finger at the man before walking away with the glass of liqueur. She muttered some cuss words audible only to her hearing as she went on to serve the drink, she dropped the glass in front of the white-beard man that sat at the far edge of the table and faked a smile.Lena was moving away from the old man who was in the process of harassing her. She warned him but the man persisted. He was about to grab her butt when a loud voice stopped him.She heard foot

    Thelma banged the door hard as she walked into Darian's office. She steadied herself with every step that she took. She dropped the files in her hands on the desk and crouched down on the armchair before he ordered her to sit."I didn't call for you," Darian's voice was stern."You don't have to call for me before I come into ppyour office, Darian." She chuckled lightly.He arched his brows and shot her a glare. "What's the deal?" He asked, his voice sterner than before."Your wife is so beautiful. Why did you cheat on her with me?" She asked. Folding her arms against her chest, she relieved her back on the armchair and waited for his response."Thelma, I told you, I warned you to discuss only office-related matters with me." He wondered why she was bringing that up again after weeks of seeing Lena with him at the restaurant. She had acted cool around him the next week at the office, she didn't even mention anything about what she saw. Why now? Why was she talking about his wife all

    "Am I a threat to you?" Lena posed the question to Darian, applying final touches to the light makeup on her face. She huddled back her makeup kits into the box and heaved an exasperated sigh. She wasn't the type to go out to open places but she couldn't refuse Gaby's request not after bribing her with something she had longed to know of."In what way, Lena?" He passed the earrings she left on the bed to her and sat back, resting his back on the headboard, his eyes glued to the magazine he was reading."Never mind, Darian." Lena smiled. She didn't want to tell Darian about Judson's threats; they didn't get to her. She had pondered on telling him but there was no need for that. "How do I look?" She spun around, wobbling in front of him.Darian didn't look at her, the news about some assassins had gripped his attention, and he didn't realize she was still talking to him."Darian!" She called a little louder, grimacing."What?" He asked in a bored tone."Nothing, never mind." She walked

    The tiny cries of Dala woke Lena from her afternoon nap. She had been taking care of the baby before Darian showed up and decided to help her out, letting her sleep for some time. She was only a few minutes into her sleep when her cries filled her ears, piercing into them and she just couldn't ignore the cries of her three months old baby.Yawning, Lena stretched to her feet and walked closer to the cot that was in their bedroom. "What does she want again?" She asked Darian who was trying to soothe the baby as she cried harder."I guess she's hungry." He handed the baby over to her. "You should feed her," he sighed, walking down to sit on the bed. "Darian, she eats a lot. I fed her before you came in and she wants to eat again. Why is she being like this?" Lena halted, shaking her head. She held the tiny fingers of her baby and smiled at her. "Dala, mama needs to sleep, baby." The baby chuckled, winking her large hazel eyes at her mother. Lena's heart softened, she just couldn't be

    Some months later. All the members of the Dawson family mafia were still against Darian, but he knew what he wanted and he fought hard for it until victory was his. After much deliberation, several meetings and many days of resentment, Isabella was finally accepted back into the family. She didn't associate with the members of the Dawson family because she was yet to gain back her memory to figure out exactly who they were and how harshly they treated her in the past. She only maintained her distance from them and didn't go beyond where Darian told her to go. Lena rubbed her protruding tummy as she sat beside Darian on the divan in the lounge, it was late in the night and they were looking at the stars that aligned at the skies together, discussing how far they'd come in their relationship and how she was due for delivery in a few days. Darian took Lena's hand and smiled, "How do you feel now?" He asked, his eyes not leaving her tummy. He couldn't contain his happiness, he already

    "Hey," Lena tapped Darian but he didn't respond to her. Tossing around on the bed, he faced the other side and pulled the duvet over his head, deterring her from seeing his face. "Darian," squinting, she wondered what was wrong with her husband. "Darian, are you good?" She wasn't having it, his silence made her so uncomfortable, and she was so eager to know what went wrong with him. He had been in a mood since he got back from work that evening and that was affecting her whole evening.Darian yanked the duvet off his body, sitting straight on the bed. He looked over to see Lena's worried face, he wriggled his head and looked away from her."Darian, did I do something wrong to you?" She asked but he didn't give her a word. "Darian," she touched him, he jerked away from her hold and she shook her head in confusion. "What's wrong with you? What happened at work?" She was concerned about him."Never mind, Lena. I just want to be alone." He got off the bed, heading towards the doorpost. L

    "You've gone against the mafia rules, Darian." Gaius declared harshly, his eyes ogling Darian's body as he stood amid every member of the Dawson family mafia. "You can't lead us anymore, we don't want a boss who works in cahoots with the enemy."Darian chuckled, "Works in cahoots with the enemy, you say?" He repeated."Yes, how do we trust you after you went back to an enemy and let her stay in your house?""Judson, I know you've always wanted the position of the Don, but I promise that you will never get here, you won't sit your ass on that throne." He stated frantically, throwing his fingers towards the throne chair.Judson chuckled devilishly. "Let's see how long you will last there."Darian lowered his gaze on Judson, he put him under the scrutiny of his eyes and after a while, he stared away from him and looked at Gaius."You have no right to come up with the decision, let the people decide if I should be reinstated or removed." He narrowed his gaze on them, everyone present in t

    It was past three months and Lena's bump was yet to be visible, she rubbed her hand on her belly as she looked through the mirror. Darian had his eyes on her the whole time. Smiling, he crept out of bed and walked up to where she was standing in front of the mirror."You look so beautiful, you do not need a mirror when you have me. I am the only one who can show you how beautiful you are." He swivelled her around, cupping her face in his hands. "My wife."Lena smiled, "I am checking to see if the baby bump is out yet. I am so nervous, I really can't wait to see it.""I can't wait too, it will be the most beautiful sight to behold. My beautiful wife is pregnant with our baby." He kissed her neck. "Thanks for all that you do, Lena. You make me so complete, you make me a complete man and I love you so much.""I wouldn't settle for anyone else but you, Darian. You make me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. Loving you is the best feeling I have ever felt and I don't want to

    Darian pushed the door open. Waltzing in, he placed his hand on his sides and looked at his wife. A bright smile appeared on her face, she was happy to see him. She could never get enough of him."You were taking time and I just wanted to be sure that all is well with you." Darian rested his back on the door after shutting it."Yes, we were discussing." Lena retorted. "And was about to come to the dining table when you knocked at the door. Did you miss me so much you can't eat without me?"Darian chuckled at Lena's naughtiness, "You know there is something that we have to do, don't you?" He asked and she shook her head.Getting her ass off the bed, she moved closer to him. "Tell me, Darian, do you miss me?" She inquired, staring into his eyes. Isabella looked at them through the corner of her eyes, she admired and envied them. She wished her love life with Raymond was that perfect, she wished she made it to marriage with him, but she was happy that she had someone as beautiful as Dar

    After Tina served the table, she proceeded to inform Darian and Lena about it. When they were settled on the dining table, Lena excused herself to get Isabella from the room.She got to the doorpost and knocked gently at the door, her waist hurt as she stood by the door. She leaned against the doorpost, hand clamped over the doorknob. She knocked four times and there wasn't any response from Isabella. She panicked, hurrying to burst into the room. She got in and met Isabella resting on the bed, her eyes shut and her head above her head."Isa?" She called but there was no response from her. Lena was scared, different thoughts ran through her mind as she approached Isabella who looked lifeless from her posture. "Isa?" She stooped to touch her face and Isabella's eyes snapped open, blinking her eyes in search of the intruder who had disturbed her reverie. "Are you alright?" Lena asked her.Nodding her head, she sat up and heaved a long sigh. "I am fine," she responded dryly."Oh, I have

    "Darian," Lena called. She had noticed how he trailed off when she was talking to him about the reports she got from the Doctor earlier at the hospital. He looked at her with an expressionless face. "What's wrong with you?" She lowered the baby's onesie on the bed and sat next to Darian."Lena," he called dryly."What happened when I was away? Did you talk with Isabella?""Yes, I did," Darian replied. "She wants to leave the house.""Why would she want to leave the house? Did you say anything that prompted that decision?" She glared at him, knowing what Darian could do.He shook his head, narrowing his eyes on her. "I wanted to have a conversation with her and the first thing she said to me was that she wanted to leave the house.""Is that why you are moody?" "No, Lena. I am not moody, I am fine. There is a lot on my mind. But come here," He motioned to his lap. She crawled into his lap and rested her head on his back."What's it that you are thinking about, my love?"Darian chuckled

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.
