Daphne's POV “What are you going to do?” Irene threw the question at me as though I had a choice. I was left with just one, which was to go back to them.“ Do you think he would have gotten to know where exactly they were without the kids saying a word… I know…” it was almost impossible that they had, they had no idea who exactly their father was. Guilt laced at me as the possibility that I was going to leave her behind filled every part of my being. My eyes swelled with tiny tendrils of tears as I interlocked my hands with Irene's.“ I don't want to leave you behind. I don't want to”.A life without her was going to be a dazed one, one that wouldn't have any meaning. She had been by my side for years, and that wasn't going to change. Not now. She tried to flicker off the tears in her eyes, but it seemed she wasn't doing enough. “ Gosh, I didn't want to tear up, but I just can't help it. Daphne…” her eyes lingered up at the white ceiling for quite some time. Every little fiber in

Daphne's POV They don't want somebody with questionable character? Where exactly did that come from? I was far from that. When the news drenched me, I dropped to the ground, my eyes flicking shut as I tried to make it make sense. Just in any tiny way that maybe I could think of. “Please hand it over, I need to talk to her” I stretched out my hands, pleading with everything in me. If she could pick it up, then I would be able to make her have a change of heart. “Daphne…” Irene whispered at me, her voice breaking as she did. “Take a chill pill” A volcano erupted inside me at her words. “Don't tell me to take a chill pill!” The words were out before I could take them back. Alexis and Avery stood stunned, in doubt, and were about to say something when someone placed a hand against their ears, taking them away.I was grateful for that, for that little moment, it meant a lot to me.“ You know how excited we were when she contacted us, you know how I felt, you know how…” I dragged in a

Daphne's POV My hands snaked around my chest, tightening around the towel I had over my chest as I mumbled out. “You scared me” I had just stepped out of the shower, and was enveloped with steam all over just to see Lorenzo sitting comfortably on the bed. He didn't give me a reply, and neither did he act as though he had heard what I had just said, as his eyes bore holes into me. What exactly happened to I won't be coming for the meantime so you can stay with them? “ What exactly are you doing here?” Damn it, but this was getting so tough. I didn't know if it was because it had been since forever I had gotten laid, or the way he stared at me then went on to gulp down his spittle afterward, but all of those did something to me. Awaken that nasty girl in me that I thought, was gone. His eyes drifted to the door, which I noticed was clockwise, before he came closer to me. His feet moving on their accord. “ Being long I saw these” his tongue ran over his lips seductively, and I kne

Lorenzo's POV A grunt escaped my lips when the rays of sunlight filtered into the room, my brows crooked inwardly with my gaze running around swiftly. A smile accompanied it when I recalled all that had happened last night. Daphne was letting me into her life, and there was nothing else that I wanted. Letting the moment soak in, I went through the daily routine of getting myself washed up, before realization dawned on me that I actually didn't have any outfit to wear. With a hand clicking on my phone, I placed a call to Jack, who didn't pick up nor did it get connected. This was rare of him, he was always easy to get across to, so I couldn't just help the bizarre thoughts in mind. What if something had gone wrong? I quickly threw over the suit trousers with a white diesel polo that cling to my upper body, revealing my toned muscles and arms before deciding to let Daphne know I was leaving, but the still of the living room welcomed me in.A stunned tone left my vocals. It was pro

Daphne's POV Her eyes swiveled around as she let out a tiny pout before dropping on the couch, with her legs over each other. She sat so comfortably that all I wanted to do was walk out of here, with my kids out of Lorenzo's life. How exactly could I have trusted him? He was nothing but a pathetic liar. “ I am stunned to see you here. Lorenzo never told me about you” they were on a first name basis. Biles threatened to come up and with a gulp, I forced it down with everything in me. “ I don't actually know who you are, but…” her mannerisms were perfect, everything told me she was everything that I wasn't. I had seen Trisha, and she was never going to measure up to the beauty standing here. “ Lorenzo truly has plenty of beauties surrounding him, from Trisha to….”“ Wait!” She screamed out. “ Lorenzo? You call him by his name? Now, I am interested in knowing who exactly you are, and how you got in here, don't tell me you are a thief and…”My patience toppled over. That was it. I wa
