Jackie’s POVI was at Evangeline's place when I got a call from a stranger that Lucas was in prison. I had thought it was some prank call but when I remembered that Lucas had said something about always landing in jail, I knew it couldn’t be some type of joke. The information had left me disoriented and scared as I did not know why he was at the police station.The moment Evangeline had come home, I pushed Paul into her arms and ran out of the house to ours where I boarded my car and drove off to the police station. All through the drive, I called Axel and Jared, so they knew what was happening and after getting them, they said they were on their way.Once I arrived at the police station, I rushed straight to the officer behind a desk, panting and sweating. He eyed me like I was crazy before I smiled.“Hi, I am here to see someone,” I said and looked around the holding cells that had people in them. I did not see Lucas and got worried.“Who are you here to see?” He asked and I faced h

Lucas’ POVFew hours ago…I was still shaking from the fact that I had murdered someone. Even as I sat in the cell, I could barely think straight. So many things were running through my mind. How would I get out of this? What will happen to the family I was building with Jackie? Who would take care of them? My kid would see me as a father who was in prison for murder, that is if he sees me leave this place if I get punished by the persecutor.My heart was racing every second, making my blood pump from fear. I had no one to save me from such a crime. Even though Jared had teased and made himself my lawyer, the case would end up with a charge heavier than what I was used to as an illegal street racer.I had been so deep in my thoughts that I did not hear when a cop had been calling my name until he banged the bars of the cell, shouting my name. I rose to my feet and watched the cop walk away. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and took some steps toward the iron bars, only to stop when

Jackie’s POVEver since Lucas went to New York which has been just a day, I have been pensive over the recent happenings around us. I barely even slept well last night, coupled with the cries from Paul since I was still with him. My thoughts were filled with what the future will be like, what to expect in the coming days and what life our child will come into as things were beginning to seem unpredictable.At the sound of Paul babbling in his baby language, I smiled and went over to where he lay on the bed. I sat beside him and scooped him up, bringing him to my face. I kissed his puffy cheeks and sniffed his baby scent. He was just so cute, and it pained me that he was related to Cindy who did not care about him at all.“Do you miss your mama?” I asked and nuzzled his nose with mine. He replied with a babble, and I chuckled. “I’m sure you don’t. Alright, let’s go to the kitchen. Time for lunch.”I rose from the bed and propped him on my hip then left the room. Once I got to the kitch

Jackie’s POVI ignored the pain I was feeling in my foot from the shards of ceramic as all my eyes and attention were on the piece of paper in my hand. I read over the information on the small piece of rectangular paper full of the grocery items he had bought and the sum total and his name which was in Matt. J Hamilton. I was confused, while a rush of wonder filled me.How does Matt have the same last name as Lucas and Axel? Did it have something to do with the pictures I kept seeing?I heard hurried footsteps and when I raised my head, I saw Bria, Victor and behind them was Matt. I kept my eyes on Matt who had a blank stare on until his eyes shifted to the paper in my hand and a shadow crossed his face.“Are you okay?” Bria asked and came to me. She grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the mess I made.“You’re bleeding,” Victor said, and I looked down at

Lucas’ POV The events of yesterday went with me to sleep and woke up with me. It was like a second skin on my body. It was hard to get rid of or put as a dream that never happened and I was bound to realize as one. No, it wasn’t and that scared me to shit. How could it be that I had a brother? Another sibling that wasn’t Axel or Ruth. After that man introduced himself as my brother, I walked out with a short laugh. I had been confused and pissed off at the same time. My family was full of shit so I felt it was all a lie but deep down I could tell it wasn’t. Even though our genes were strong, making it easy for almost everyone in our family to share the same features, this man, Matt was polar opposite and that made me feel it could not be possible but yet again, with the lies I grew up with, it was possible that he was related to me. I sighed and got out of bed then crossed over to the window. I leaned on it and stared at the activities below. The people walking back and forth and

Lucas’ POVI was still frozen in place as she kissed me. I could barely feel anything anymore apart from the movement of her mouth and the racing of my heart. I was frozen in shock. Jackie started to fill my head, my relationship and everything about us filled my head, which caused my heart to ache from the thought of cheating on her.When annoyance got to the brim of the gauge of my emotions, I held her arms and made a move to pull her away, only for her to pull away and rise to her feet then wrap her arms around my shoulders in a vice grip. I stiffened and blinked as more confusion filled my head.What the fuck was wrong with this woman?“I am so sorry. So sorry for kissing you but please, just stay still. Stay where you are. I really need your help on this. I beg of you,” she said in a hasty tone.I grunted and placed my hands on her waist, prepared to push her away. If I used my

Lucas’ POVI sat with Maddie in the restaurant of the hotel, waiting to hear who this man after her was and to speak to her about her shares and more. At the back of my mind, I hoped she agreed to this but with my idea, she should be able to.“I met him in college. He was an assistant to one of my professors. He is pretty intelligent and all. I had a crush on him, and I always wanted to hang out with him. We started to date in my final year in college and I started to dread leaving him.” She paused to take a sip out of the coffee she had between her hands. When she dropped the cup, she chuckled. “I was a naive girl then. My parents wanted me home so I can start working at our family company. Sometimes, I wished my dad was like those fathers who didn’t want their daughters near family business, but he wasn’t.”I thought about what she had just said. Jackie and I were having

Lucas’ POVI didn’t want to believe him. He could be lying. There was no way, absolutely no way this was true. Dad could never do this. Even though I knew him as an uncle, he could never do such a thing. He was a kind man, a man full of laughter and jokes. There was no way he abandoned Matt and whoever his mother was.“I know you don’t believe me because you were dad’s favorite,” he said with strong venom in his tone. “I was born two years before you were born, and I knew nothing at my age. All I remember was my mother taking care of me until I turned thirteen. The only memories I have of that man was how he fought with my mother every time he visited. How my mother cried every night. I hated him so much. I hated him with my whole heart and wanted him gone.”I could see the raw anger and hate swimming in his eyes. It was scary. His eyes were darker, and it made him appear feral.“When I found out he died, I was happy. I was glad because it was better, he was dead than for me to know I
