"I have been expecting you, Darian. I knew you'd come for me." Amy leaned on the high stool in the bar of her living room.

The activities of the casino had been suspended since the day Gaius was poisoned. All of the women working there were to remain in their houses as they were being investigated on what they knew about the poisoning.

Darian carefully observed her, she seemed to be at ease like nothing at all was bothering her.

"You know why I am here, don't you?" He asked, his eyes lingering on the painting that was hung on the wall—the one he gifted her many years ago. It was still clean the way he gave it to her. It was the painting of a woman who wrapped her baby in her hands, her eyes were sad as she stared at the baby. Amy specifically chose it when they went to the art gallery. She had told him it related well to her and he got it for her as a gift.

"To ask if I was the one who poisoned Gaius?" She laughed, wriggling her head in chagrin. "Do you think I can do something like t

    Darian glimpsed Talia where she was leaning against the wall of the hallway with her phone pressed to her ear, she swiftly talked and ended the call afterward. She rubbed her aching head and placed her hand on her jaw, the look on her face wasn't bright, he shook his head, knowing that she was still brooding over Gaius' condition.He walked up to her, "Talia," he called in a low voice."Oh Darian, you are here." She sighed. "Yes, how is he? Is there any improvement yet? It's been five days." He said."Yes, it's been five days and he's stuck in that bed, his eyes are still closed and he can't even talk to me." She let out sniffles. "I am hopeless, Darian. I don't want to lose my husband.""You won't lose him," he pulled her into an embrace. As he wrapped Talia in his shoulders, he contemplated asking her about the glass cup that was always kept in her office. It'd been two days since Amy told him about it and he was yet to ask because he didn't want to hurt her, but then he didn't wan

    Darian and Lena occupied the armchairs in the Doctor's office, patiently waiting for him to come back with the results of the tests that were carried on her. Darian looked at her, there were dark circles around her eyes, she had lost so much weight in five days, he couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't want her to go back to that dungeon, her face was the palest as she managed to look at him."I had no idea it was that terrible, Lena." He held her hand but she pulled back. He wondered why she did that, she was always eager to take his hands."It was, Darian." She mumbled. "Maybe I'd be dead by now if Amy hadn't come over because those bastards do not care about me." She snorted.Leaning backward on the chair, she sighed, tossed her legs against the chair, and didn't want to talk to Darian anymore. She was so sad and she suddenly blamed him for putting her in such a mess, she wouldn't have gotten there if she wasn't married to him anyway. Now, she had regrets. If only he had listened t

    The vehicle came to a halt when he arrived at the garage of his mansion. Lena scooted off the car, he went after her but Jay appeared in front of him, deterring him from catching up with his wife."Is there a problem?" Darian asked, annoyed. His eyes were on Lena as she headed into the house. She ignored Dickson's and Harrison's greetings and didn't acknowledge any of the bodyguards who greeted her as she walked in. "What is the problem?" His gaze shifted back to Jay."I got the whereabouts of your mother, we found her, boss." He slightly bowed his head.Darian eyes squinted in worry. He couldn't handle his newly found mother and his wife now. He had to focus on one and that was his wife who needed him so much."Take care of that, keep an eye on her and make sure everything goes on well with her. Does she still live in the slum?" He asked."Yes, but we've made arrangements to move her out, I just wanted your approval," Jay said."Do what you can, Jay. I have to be with my wife now." H

    Darian walked into the bedroom. Lisa was sitting next to Lena on the bed. It'd been two days since he called Lisa over to help him out. Lena hadn't recovered, she was still sulking. She has refused to eat, or go to the hospital for treatments. All she did was sleep, cry, think, and intensified the fact that she wanted to leave Darian's house. "How is she?" Darian asked Lisa whose gaze was on her best friend. "She's sleeping for now," Lisa responded. "She refused to eat, but I will prepare oats for her when she wakes up. She likes oats," she smiled, her eyes moving to Darian. "And you, are you okay?" She queried. He nodded in response, but Lisa didn't believe he was fine. He had not gone out of the house since she arrived, he had stayed with Lena at every point, and his eyes were fatigued. He didn't look okay. "You should get some sleep too, your eyes are sapped from stress," Lisa said. "I will watch over her, you don't have to worry." She assured Darian. "I think you should g

    Twiddling with the bracelet Lena gave to him, Darian was lost in thoughts of his wife until the squelching sound of Jay's shoes against the floor interrupted his musings. He looked up at him, his face quickly switching to a scowl. He wondered why he had to come into the living room now. He stopped touching the bracelet, focusing his attention on Jay. "Is there something that I need to know?" He questioned, squinting his eyes."Here are the reports you demanded," Jay handed a file to Darian, bowing his head to his boss.Darian snatched the file from Jay, flicking through the pages with swift moves. He halted and shook his head, nothing there was appealing to him, not the things he wanted to see."Anything else?" He asked, disgruntled."Yes boss, someone is missing in the casino," Jay said to him."Missing? How?" Darian fluttered his eyes, taking a maximal interest in the latest development."Her name is Nessa, she works as a cleaner at the casino. We recently discovered that she was

    A small smile formed at the corner of Darian's lips, "My husband, I think I can call you that now. You are my husband, Darian." He wiggled his head, her beautiful handwriting clearly disseminated in the note. He sighed and held the diary closer, "The first time I met you was not the best, but now I feel like I want to be with you every moment of my life, I don't want to ever live a second without you, I need you to survive, do you feel the same way?" Darian read out. Wriggling his head, he answered subconsciously, he felt the same way too, he needed her to survive. Without Lena, his life was desolate."I have heard people say that sometimes the one you loathe the most can turn out to be the only one you want in the world. Darian, you were a motherfucking bastard the first time I met you, yes, a motherfucking bastard, that was what I termed you as when I saw you in my house, threatening my sick father, I hated you so much. If I had a gun, you'd have probably been dead by now because I

    It's been five hours since they got back home and Lena was still sleeping. Darian sat close to her, watching as she took short breaths in her sleep. Lisa had argued with him when he told her he wanted to bring Lena home, but he promised her that he would take good care of his wife.Lena rolled on the bed, letting out a soft yawn. She tossed around to see Darian staring intently at her."You are awake," his lips curled up in a small smile. "I have been waiting for you to wake up."She looked around the bedroom, dissatisfied. "Why am I here? When did I leave Lisa's house?" She growled."I brought you back home, Lena." He said in a gentle tone. "Our home," he emphasized."How and why?" She grimaced, "How did you bring me back here?" She rested her back on the headboard."You were sleeping," Darian said, trying to calm her down. "I carried you into the car and brought you home, Lena." He slinked closer to her and squeezed her hand. "How do you feel?"They stared into each other's eyes, st

    "You should eat now," Darian freed Lena from his hold. She folded her arms against her chest, wriggling her head like a toddler. "Please, you haven't had something nice to eat for days," he looked at her, persuading her."Darian," she clutched her finger with his."Yes? Do you want me to do something now?""Did you tell my dad about the pregnancy stuff?" She queried.He sighed, he didn't have a relationship with her dad. They used to be gambling buddies, and since he got married to Lena, he had not seen Gavin or heard from him apart from when he called her phone a few weeks back, and the phone was with him then because Lena was locked up."I didn't, there is no way I would. This is our business, we should let it stay between us and Lisa, of course. I know you tell her everything, she knows too much about us, but it's okay. I believe you know when and where to draw the line." His voice was stern, but he quickly changed to a soft one. "Why won't you eat?" He asked."Darian, I don't feel

    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.
