“I’m fine,” I said, sitting up. “The doctor said I was fine. Is she still here?” I asked.
“No,” Ace shook his head.
“So you found her?” I looked down, playing with my thumbs. “She seems nice.”
“She is nothing but nice,” he scoffed, and I gave him a look. I suddenly felt protective of her even after chasing her away like that. She was still my mother.
“So her name is Cecelia,” I said. “Where was she all this time?”
“I think it’s best if you have that conversation with her,” he said, looking away.
“Ace,” I reached out and placed my hand on top of his. There was nothing more to the touch, but I needed him to be honest with me. What more was there t

Ace “Ace, I said sit down.” My grandfather ordered. “I think I would like to stand,” I responded, looking at my grandfather and still refusing to look at my wife. “I said sit down,” he snapped, looking at me. “Don’t make me have your man make you?” he warned as I groaned, sitting down with a sneer. He was still intimidating for his age, and I respected him too much to go against him. He taught me everything I know now. I unwillingly dropped next to Diya, who was sitting on the edge of the sofa ready to escape any moment. “You too dear. You need to sit,” he said, looking at Diya. “That position must be uncomfortable,” he looked at her. “Oh,” she responded as she pushed back, but she looked tense,

Matt I know Ace must be losing his mind because of the video of Elisa I sent. It satisfied me that I made a Torane weak for the first time. They caused havoc and pain for most people, and I was doing everyone a favor by taking the very thing they cared about. I know with Theo with me, I could go far. Ace would do anything I say for him. I can’t wait for the day I finally show him he lost everything he has because of me. “Do you think they have seen it yet?” Elisa asked, “I’m a talented actress if I say so myself.” She laughed. “Yeah, you are,” I added with a sigh. “Why the sad face?” she threw her hands over my shoulders, “This is what we wanted.” “Not now, Elisa,” I said, pulling her hand away.

Matt “What the hell did you do to her?” Thomas walked in shouting, cutting my train of thought. As usual, she goes running to him like a child every time and he comes running. This was exhausting. It was getting annoying. “Listen, this is between me and your sister,” I said, rubbing my temple. “No, Matt. I warned you not to hurt her or make her cry,” he said, reaching for my collar angrily. “And I told you we shouldn’t lie to her about the entire plan.” I pushed him back. “What do you think she is going to do when she finds out that I wasn't just a friend to Diya?” I whispered. “I never asked you to fall for her,” he replied. “Are you trying to justify that with me?” he accused.

Diya I tried sleeping hoping to have better dreams, but every time I closed my eyes, all my dreams were turning into nightmares. As I dragged myself out of bed, I was more tired. I yawned, my eyes half opened, stretched before I stumbled on something on my feet. I opened my eyes wider, looking down on a foot as Ace shifted on the floor. “Ace!” I shouted. “Why are you on the floor? When did you get in here?” I asked, poking him with my foot as he groaned. “Stop that,” he said. “Why are you up this early?” He pulled his fleece blanket up covering his face. “Get out,” I hissed. “You are in my space. Why would you sleep on the floor? There are plenty of rooms in this house. You have your own bed.” “Stop shouting,” he said, “Please.” he pleaded.

Filip Five years ago, Ace had been gone for ages. I was doing a terrible job of being the best man. Everyone was asking me questions I should know, but chose not to. My mind was busy. I had been trying to get a conversation with the maid of honor, but she was avoiding me. Something about her was magnetic. I wanted to be where she was. I wanted to spend more time with her. Maybe if I was doing best man's duties, I would have a chance, but she would see through me. I sighed as I walked in search of the groom when I saw him walk to his grandfather. Ace walked to me and I creased my forehead. "Is there no wedding?" "There is," he added. "I need to change before we start." I shrugged, not asking questions. I followed him to a changing room and took a sip from my cannister. Ace quickly changed into an extra shirt he had when we got here. "What is up with you? Are you trying

Ruby This was insane and not how I had planned my day. My heart was beating out of my chest so hard as I clung to Filip like a monkey as he held me tightly. I never expected to be in the air like this when I saw the rope that was thrown. I felt like a fugitive but it was the best feeling because I loved the adrenaline. As we got higher, I could see people getting smaller, like ants. As he laughed, I looked up at him with a smile and held him tighter. The wind in my face made me close my eyes and enjoy the moment, although I should have been afraid. I pulled off the veil on my head and let it fall before I laughed and screamed joyfully. I felt alive and free. I was happy to be having such an exhilarating moment. I wanted it to last longer, but the moment didn’t last as we went back t

Ace I didn’t know what was worse anymore. Hearing Diya say she almost lost our son broke me into a million pieces. I tried to be strong for her sake, but this was unbearable. She went through all this alone without me. I would give anything to have the experience with her. “You didn’t lose him,” I said, rubbing her back. “He is alive. That’s all that matters.” “I know, but I miss him so much. I want him here with us.” “Me too,” I sighed, “Me too, honey.” I pulled her tight and let her cry. I didn’t care that the pull was straining my ribs. This, right here. Me comforting her like this was worth all the pain in the world. I loved her with all of my heart. I never stopped. “Promise me, we wi

Diya “I couldn't believe it when Filip said you were here. I thought something happened.” Ruby chewed her lip, looking away. “I mean, after everything that happened. You disappearing. I thought Ace might have done something to you.” “A lot happened. I decided to come back, but then I was taken,” I shrugged, “Honestly, I don’t want to talk about me. What happened? The dress looks nice,” I said, looking at her as we moved to sit on the bed. “I know. I was getting married actually,” she looked down, embarrassed. “What?” my mouth dropped. “Ru, why are you here? Are you married? Who is he? I can’t believe you found someone,” I smiled as I waited for her to respond. “Well, the wedding didn’t happen,” she said, not disappointed. “I was about t

AceI had just parked the car in the driveway when I got a call from the hospital. Diya was being monitored more extensively than before. I don't understand what went wrong because when we left; she had been fine. The monitors were functioning normally. She didn't cause any distraught to nurse Brenda, and she was doing better than she normally is when we leave.The drive back was harder than I thought because I didn't want to go over the speed limit. Celeste had refused to stay, and we were all going back to the hospital. I did my best to get us back as fast as I could.I didn't wait for them when we were at the hospital because I needed to know exactly how things had changed when all was fine. We spent over two hours with no beeping. I was so proud of her. They both have been doing great. "Mr Torane, you can't go in there.""Why not?" the old nurse rushed and blocked my path"Calm down." "I am calm." I looked at her."Take a deep breath and have a seat. The doctor is with her.""I

Diya"What are you doing out of bed?" Ace sighed, handing the Ezra to my mom."I was beginning to think all of you abandoned me?""And you decided to get out of bed?" he asked.Ace carefully led me to the bed. I huffed and sat back on the same bed I have been couped up in for the past four months."I wanted to walk for a while.""How did you get out of bed?" Ace asked, shaking his head."I can show you how I did it,""No," he sighed, "Stop getting out of bed. Jesus," he whispered under his breath."No swearing in front of the kids," I glare at him before looking at Theo, "Wanna sit next to mommy Theo?" I asked."Daddy said I could hurt you," he looked down at his shoes."Hmm?" I glared at Ace."How are you, dear?" my mother walked closer."Fine," I grit out and looked at Theo, "It's okay, Theo. You can come give mommy a hug. I missed you."Theo looked up, beaming, and ran beside me. He looked up and his father for approval first before he climbed on the bed."Careful with you legs," A

AceI was sitting on a chair watching Diya hooked too many machines. I had left for a while to cool off and came to this development. Something bad kept happening, and I blamed myself. Doctor Bowman had advised me to make my choice soon because they needed to know what to do. I didn't want to make a choice. I wanted both so badly that it hurt. This shouldn't be happening to us. We were fine a few hours ago. "Ace," I looked up and saw my grandfather, "Let's go for a walk.""I want to be with my wife," "I understand, but staring at her like this won't help. Let's take a walk.""The last time I went for a walk, I came back to this," I pointed at my wife."You can't blame yourself for any of this and -""I don't want us talking about this in here." I rubbed my brow."Come then. We can sit outside and talk."I begrudgedly stood. I walked to give my wife a kiss and walked, following my grandfather out. He walked past the chairs. I didn't have the strength to argue, so I walked behind him

AceWhat was I thinking?That’s right, I was not thinking but reacting. Doctor Bowman had suggested that Diya could be pregnant, but we both know she could not be pregnant. She can't because of Elisa. That psycho bitch was still bringing hell to my family.Even now, as I stood and watched the doctor, I knew I should have agreed to forget about this with Diya. Things were great between us. We just welcomed our son. It hasn’t been a day yet, and we were doing an ultrasound for Diya.I ran my hand on my chin, and I watched my wife. I was afraid to look anywhere else. This was going to wreck my wife. I don’t know how I will pick up the pieces. All the words I told her were encouraging, but if I cannot keep my word, then my family would never recover.“Ace,” I heard Diya’s strained voice.I looked at her and grabbed her hand. Nothing was happening, no matter how much he moved. I was not this type of man anymore, but I would have killed this man for making us briefly believe in something we

DiyaAce’s suggestion to have a baby through surrogacy had been so random, and I had been against it because it was soon and Theo was not even five yet. We had struggled with Theo before and the vacation had helped the three of us. We had only got our bearings and bringing another baby seemed like a stretch. It looked impossible, but I was glad he convinced me I agreed.Watching Ace turn into this big teddy was worth this. His happiness made me see how much he wanted a huge family. I don’t mind or feel hurt that I can’t carry children because we have options. Options I would gladly be open to doing again soon. This house was still small for us four alone.I fished my phone from my pocket and took a photo. It was adorable seeing him and Theo together, watching the baby sleep. I couldn't get over such cuteness. We had been worried Theo would be jealous, but he was happier and always asking to hold his little brother Ezra.I was surprised too because we hadn’t discussed baby names. My gr

AceI was watching Theo ride his bicycle. He has been growing up so fast. Every day, he seemed to grow an inch. I had missed two years with him and I don't think I was ready to see him grow older yet. I wish I could freeze time and get as much of him like this as I can.“Are you looking, daddy?” he shouted, looking back. "Look! See!"“Watch where you are going. You will crash.” “Are you looking?” he asked again.“Theo, watch out,” I sighed when he almost hit a guard, but he stopped his bike. “Move! Move! Move!” he shouted.“Theo?” I called, “What do you say?”“Please,” he pouted.“That’s my boy.”I smiled and watched him move his bike around again. My phone rang in my pocket before I could answer. Theo shouted again. “Daddy, you are not watching.” "We are on our way,” I responded on the phone quickly and hung up.I smiled and looked back at Theo, but he was not on his bike and he was walking to me with a frown on his face. I smirked and raised my brow. This boy was me in every sen

Diya One year later, I paused and stared at the long table set before me that was filled with laughter. I smiled and looked around, my heart relieved. The past couple of months, if not years, since the night I saw Ace kill were rough. Ace slid his hand under the table to lace mine before he leaned in closer to my ear. “You okay?” he asked as he kissed my cheek. “I’m okay,” I smiled at him as I looked around the table before looking at him, my eyes shining, “How can I not be happy?” “Mommy,” Theo screamed and my head snapped to him, but I wasn’t frightened because we were safe. We had been safe for a while now. “Faster, run faster Theo. Make the old man sweat.” Ace shouted beside me and I shook my head. Theo was running as Arnold chased him around the table, making everyone around the table laugh harder. My grandparents who I had finally met were sitting at the table laughing at something my mother had said. “Sorry guys we are late,” Ruby walked in with Filip in tow. “Slow down

Ace I opened my eyes and looked at the blinding light. I closed my eyes trying to speak, my throat dry, like someone had forcefully shoved a sandpaper through. As the sound pierced my ears, I tried to speak, but my heart rate spiked and I couldn't. The next thing I saw were people towering over me. It took me a few seconds to remember everything that had happened. Elisa. The shoot out. Matt, the fight. Diya. I tried to shove the people off me and get up. I needed to see her. Someone held my shoulders, and I felt a push back. Two people came on both sides to hold me down, as I was still fighting them. I have no idea how long I was like this, but I need all the tubes and wires off me. I was fighting a losing battle. I could feel whatever drug they had injected in my veins, and I relaxed. The pain I had felt earlier was fading slowly. The machines quieted down as I unintentionally closed my eyes. ***** The next time I opened my eyes, I was reclined, not laying flat on my back anymor

Ruby The metal benches at the hospital are colder than the howling wind outside. I got up and paced as I bit my nails. I was trying to think of everything and how it all went wrong. The doctors had said nothing. Things were looking bad. I tried to think of something else. Filip seemed aloof toward me. He looked at me as if it was my fault. I wiped the tears away. It was my fault. I was the only one who was still walking. Most people I knew were dead, hurt, or fighting for their lives. The emergency room swarmed with people in a short period. My breath hitched as I clung to the wall, trembling like a leaf. My legs felt weak before I saw Celeste walk in with the armed men. “Ruby,” she ran to me. “What is happening?” I whispered in my weak voice. "Are we still in danger?" “Where are my grandsons?” I was blinking and looking around as Celeste held me and helped me to have a seat. I looked at the men as the flashes of my first encounter with Elisa rushed through my head. All the p
