“I’m okay. I’m fine,” I said, slumping on the bed. Filip and I were nothing to each other. He was free to do whatever he wanted.
“Ru,” Diya came and rubbed the side of my shoulders.
“We are not together, D. I was going to marry someone. I mean, the reason I came was for you. Not him,” I harshly wiped a tear away. "I don't care, I'm not bothered."
“Come on, we both know that’s not true,” she said.
“It is,” I pouted. “I don’t care if he is with someone else. I'm fine. He can do whatever he wants.” I ran my fingers through my hair with my fingers.
“Ruby,” Diya called, "It's okay to be jealous."
"I. Am. NOT!" I huffed.

Diya I made my way around the house in the meantime. Letting Filip and Ruby talk. I really hoped they resolved their issues. I hope Filip does right by her. I had a hunch. They were going to end up together. Filip is genuine if he is not killing or doing whatever. Jesus. It was still wrong what they were doing and there was no way I would justify that. I would not let my husband’s business invade my thoughts. It was his business. I wanted no part in it. “Can we talk?” Ace suddenly was in front of me and pulled me to walk with him. "What are you doing? Stop. I don't want to speak to you. Le me go." "We have to talk." he replied. “Do you have to pull me?” I yanked my hand away. "Have some dec

Ace It was as if Diya and I were going in circles, but I cut the rope and lay some ground rules. The ball was in her court. I did not have time to worry about her running off with another man this time. If she wanted to be with him, so be it. She was more that welcome to leave. She can go elsewhere, not anywhere near me or Theo. Theo was going to need all our attention, not half measures. My grandfather’s words wormed their way into my head. What kind of man was I? Why did I hurt Diya? What have I done so far to get Theo back? Are you going to let people walk over you like this? Is the empire getting too big for you or maybe you have gotten weak? I was not someone who got walked all over by people. I was not weak. I scoffe

Diya “What are you talking about?” I frowned, looking at Ace as he pointed a finger at me. “Ace,” Filip sighed, rubbing his hand on his temple. “You know exactly what I am talking about, Diya,” Ace accused, looking at me. “Are you trying to say that I did this?” I looked at him in horror and shock at his accusation. “That’s exactly what I’m trying to say,” he confirmed it as he looked at me, his face cold. “Wow. I can't deal with this?” I threw my hand up in the air. “You know what? I have had it with you. I am done, Ace, DONE,” I said, walking out. “Where the hell are you going?” he asked me. “As far aw

Ruby I was never going to shoot him, but he shot Filip. After the gun sounded, I felt as if I was paralyzed and shocked. Tears were coming from my eyes, but I couldn't speak. It was as if my voice had been blocked. Ace and Filip seemed casual about it. “Ace would have killed you for pointing a gun at him. You literally declared war on him,” Filip said. "This is him being lenient." he groaned. “Now that’s settled. I think you need to get ready before the police arrive. Get someone to clean this mess,” Ace walked away. I was sure I didn’t want to be in this house anymore. If what Filip said was true, that would mean he would have killed me. I tried to open my mouth so I could try to speak but nothing came. I was petrified of Ace. I don't no energy to be around here.

Matt I just knew something had happened when I tried to call Diya earlier and her phone kept ringing with no response. When she had eventually answered, I could tell something was off. I was trying to be calm and understanding, but I needed to know what was going on. I wasn’t sure what was happening and not knowing was driving me insane more. I heard footsteps and quickly placed my phone down. “Hey,” Elisa said, chirpier than normal. “Someone sounds happy,” I said, looking at her. "I know it's not me who is responsible for that cheery mood, but I like it." “Why wouldn’t I be happy? Our plans are going well. I am happy, everyone is happy,“ She shrugged, taking a seat across from me on the desk. “You are happier than usual today.” I smile

Ace My wife was going to jail, and I didn't care. I could have helped, but I let the police take her. I was fed up. People were walking all over me. I was tired of it all. The Romanos were with my son. Ruby pulled a gun at me. Then there was Diya, always challenging me at every turn. Everyone was testing my patience that was running thin. “Are you sure you want her taken?” Filip asked. “Did I stutter the last time? Do you see me moving to help her?” I replied, looking at the officer with Diya in cuffs. "I don't care what happens to her." "Diya is innocent. Why are you punishing her?" Filip stared at me. “You said you would fix this.” Ruby walked to where we were. "You were going to help her earlier."

Diya When the police came and took me, I was tired. I knew I was innocent. Screaming or shouting was going to stop them from taking me. I would waste energy trying to get my husband to rescue me. He had shown me he wanted me to suffer. I had prayed that I would be proven innocent and my prayer was answered. I got help from the person I didn’t expect, but I took the help. “Do you need anything?” my mom asked as we got into her house. “No, thanks,” I shook my head, looking around. The apartment was clean and tiny. Everything seemed in place and the picture I had in my head was not the same. When Ace was telling me about her drug use, I thought she would have the worst living condition. I had misjudged her too quickly. “Sit,” she said, fixing the couch, looking nervous. "Unless you want to stand. That's fine too." “Oh,” I pursed my lips as I went and sat down. I had nothing to say and part of it was guilt for chasing her away. I reacted harshly to her and it was something I needed t

Ace Diya and her mother were in the restroom. Filip was pacing in the small room making me more impatient as I tapped my foot. She better not be pregnant. This is the last thing I needed. I came here so Cecelia can tell me how she got to be in a position of the evidence that got Diya to be released so quickly. I didn't come here to discover the news of my wife being pregnant. This better not be her pregnant. “Stop walking around. Stand or sit. Just don’t pace?” I hissed at Filip. “What?” Filip scoffed as he continued to pace around. "I can't help it." “What’s taking them so long in there?” I said, feeling hot. She has to come out and tell me that this was all a false alarm so we can forget about all of this. I was tired of the back-and-forth argument we had earlier about this issue. I fumed, thinking about her pregnant with another’s man's child. She better have not have been stupid. I raked my hand through my hair and tried to relax, but shook my head. I didn't want to hear he w

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
