All Chapters of Birthing Twins For My Ex's Uncle: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Daphne's POV Taking a good look at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but exhale at how beautiful I looked. The blue gown with pearls rimming its edges clung to my curves, its soft texture glittered against my skin and the silver clutch was just right. I looked perfect to myself, but I didn't know what Lorenzo was going to think, I wasn't supposed to be that concerned, but I just couldn't help it. He had decided on the gown himself and I hope he would like it. Spinning around on my heels, I walked out of the room, down the stairs where he stood at the edge pacing up and down with a phone against his ears. Immediately my feet connected on the stairs, he flicked his head around, his eyes fixated at me, not paying attention to the call he was on anymore. “ How do I look?” I bit on my lips anxiously, waiting for an answer to which I didn't get any. “ Lorenzo…” I drawled when he didn't say a word, his mouth slightly ajar at me. “ Stunning” he complimented. A smile crept at the edg

Daphne's POV I woke up to the whiff of musky and woodsy scent wrapped around me and when I tried to pull away, the hands only wrapped themselves around me even closer than they already were. My legs were still sticky, and I bet that there was no way I was going to stand upright that quickly, Lorenzo had made sure of that. I tried still, but his hands wrapped firmly around me before he snickered out. “Good morning”He was sleeping in today, he wasn't going to work which was new because how exactly was he not going to work? He certainly had dozens of things to do. “ It is the weekend. Sunday precisely, aren't you supposed to sleep in some more? I mean, didn't I do a good job last night ?” My face flushed at his words, he was practically telling me that he knew what he had done, and he wasn't hiding it. “ I have to get up” I said to him, but he held me down. Finally giving up after throwing my hands up in the air, I let him scoop me closer to himself, his breath lingering closer to

Lorenzo's POV “Just keep me updated, also make sure Trisha doesn't hurt a strand out of her hair. Do everything within your power to make sure of that" I dished out instructions at Tessa, before slipping the phone back into my pocket. That was her duties, and I wasn't supposed to be reminding her of it, but this was Daphne. I wasn't certain what length Trisha could go, but I wouldn't allow any single one of them. “Father…are we close?” Avery's voice filled my thoughts as I eased my way to my father's estate. The gray mansion in view, its elongated points and Jalousie windows reminded me of how much I detested coming here. My hands patted her hair as I answered. “We should be getting off soon” Drago had threatened hell and brimstone at Daphne. He had promised to fish her out and hurt her if I didn't show up just to give an explanation of my attitude last night. He had always wanted grandkids and seeing mine will surely give Daphne a soft spot in his rugged heart, that was what I

Daphne's POV I couldn't count the number of times my stomach churned, nor Irene's words to me as she promised to place a call through to Lorenzo and that I was going to be fine. My head swam with muddled thoughts, and with clambered steps, I walked down the endless steep of stairs to a black Cadillac which I didn't know what my fate would be. The stern-faced man holding the door shut it closed after making sure that I was fine inside before driving off.My palm got sweaty, and my throat parched as I thought of how I had missed the chance to inform Lorenzo. “ But you hadn't,” a tiny voice whispered to me. “ And now, you will be turned into chunks” I swallowed, gulping down the dread that filled my head when the car drove into the familiar building, its high windows came into view and I fisted my palm. It was now and never.“ Get down” the tone wasn't one that told me I had a choice. I had to do what they told me without disputing his words. I sauntered behind the stern-faced man,

Lorenzo's POV My eyes settled on Daphne who reclined against the couch, her eyes sparkled in a way that I couldn't just help but to let out a smile. “ Thank you” she let out when the thud of the door rocked the room, announcing Trisha's departure. I bobbed, before staring elsewhere, that should keep her off for a bit, but that doesn't mean Trisha would just let go like that. I knew her so well, just like I knew the back of my palm and I could tell that she was going to retaliate. Someway or the other. That growing ache in my chest consumed me, spilling away as I tried to think of something, anything that could help the situation I found myself in. “ Are you okay?” Daphne’s voice rocked through my thoughts, flipping me out of it. “ I am …” I let out a gasp. “ I am fine. I have you here by my side” my hands smoothed her curves, trailing on it with a smile igniting my face. The company stock plummeted by each second that passed. I was so damn sure the public would have carried th
