Author: 6 years later."Happy birthday to you!" Everyone chorused as Kimberly and her twin sons celebrated their fifth birthday."Now blow out your candles!" Ethan said.His sons were an exact copy of him. Black hair, blue eyes, and perfect bone structure.Ethan was bursting with pride as he watched his sons blow off their birthday candles.A round of applause exploded from the attendees and Fredrick and Ethan yelled out a hurrah!Kurt and Klaus ran up to them. They were both now ten years old and they were cute and they all took pictures Ethan watched from the sidelines as his sons played with Nessa's sonHe never thought they'd both be here. His eyes drifted towards Kimberly. Her stomach was already protruding.She was pregnant with another set of twins and somehow she looked more beautiful than ever.Ethan walked up to her and collected the tray of snacks she was bringing to the kids."I told you to sit still, babe."He said to his wife. It was amazing how stubborn she'd gotten
Kimberly The door of the car was pulled open by my driver and I climbed out of the car with a bouquet of lilies in my hand, I sucked in deep breaths and made my way towards the cemetery. The guards followed me as I walked but I stopped them right away.“Finn.” I’ll be fine, I need alone time.” I wasn’t smiling as I spoke and even if they were given orders not to let me out of their sight, I was sure they wouldn’t try to ruin today for me. “Sure thing, Miss,” Finn muttered, his voice thick and loud. I nodded then tucked my curly brunette hair at the back of my ear, sucked in another breath, and walked into the private cemetery where my entire family lay in there all dead from the ambush 13 years again.I had in my hand a bouquet of lilies and I placed it on the ground then took the lighter and began to light the scented candles everywhere, i lit all the candles up and stood in front of the grave Mom, Dad, and Mason, I miss them so much.My lips quivered as I tried to make words but t
Ethan I had known that I would find her in the cemetery, she had made it a ritual to celebrate her birthday there.My flight had just landed in New York and I was a bit skeptical about going to see Kim, it’s been a whole year and three months since I left her, in my defense I had a lot of work and I needed her to be safe, staying around her will only make it known that I was her guardian.I had watched her grow into this young beautiful lady that she is and seeing her all dressed in a black slim-fit dress that showcased her beautiful curves only reminds me of the major reason why I left.She turned and I watched her jaw drop, she was surprised to see me and I knew she wanted to run to me and hug me, I watched her ball her fist trying to avoid running to me.I did think that even if she didn’t run to me, she’d walk up to me and hug me but that was to my greatest imagination as she walked out of the cemetery and got into her car. The nerve of the driver to drive her.Now she was down wi
Kimberly I was definitely facing the repercussions of not having food yesterday because I woke up with a rumbling tummy and a pain that threatened to kill me.I got out of bed, walked into my bathroom, brushed my teeth and headed down stairs.What if he really had a good reason for not coming back? Should I forgive him, he’s been good to me since he took me in.I got to the dinning to meet the maid setting up the table. The moment she saw me she greeted me and I nodded.“I was about to call you for breakfast.”“I’m here now. Where’s my nanny?” I asked while Jovani pulled out a chair for me to sit on.“Oh darling, I’m here.” Nanny had a hat of water on her hand as she walked towards me.“Excuse me Miss.” Jovani, lowered her head and then walked out of the dinning.“Good morning Nanny.”“Morning princess.” She dropped the jar of water on the table and immediately went ahead to serve me food.“Nanny, I can serve myself food.”“Oh, please dear, let me do this.” I nodded and let her ser
KimberlyVanessa and I studied until it was late in the evening, it was our last exam and we were not about to mess it up, throughout our study section Vanessa tried to focus on nothing but just school work although she said nothing I was still reminded of what she said, there was no way that I was in love with my godfather she probably said one of her silly and crazy things but my problem was why I was taking it personal.“I got it!” she screamed so loud jerking me from my very weird thoughts, I took a good look at her work and I smiled, she did get it.“I’m tired.” She muffled as she yawned and closed her book.“That’s all, the last study section together.” “Yes. Where are the cookies you promised, let’s have a quick chat while I wait for my driver.”“Jovani will be here soon.” As I spoke, a knock was placed on my door, I muttered a come in and Jovani walked into my room with a tray that contained our cookies and juice.“Thank you Jovani.” I smiled while Vanessa grabbed the piled-up
Kimberly:I had stayed in the room for hours, I had cried and I was running out of patience. I didn’t know what had happened to him or what was happening, the loud noise I was hearing outside went silent the moment I got into this room that looked like a secret hideout. It had a lot of things in there, snacks, water, there were a lot of systems attached to it and all I did was sit at a spot and hope that things were going to be okay with him. I wanted him fine and back. “Kim.” I felt his warm hands on my cheeks, and my eyes opened wide, I had fallen asleep waiting for him, and there he was in front of me, his head was bleeding a little and he looked very weak and tired, I pulled him into a tight hug and I held him tight for a long while.I was shaking and crying, I thought I had lost him. Just having him hold me in his arms reminded me of the times that I needed him to be with me but he wasn’t. All the time I craved to be hugged this way but he wasn’t anywhere to be found, it made me
Kimberly: The car was silent after he explained to me, I couldn't believe that all of this was happening because they only happened in movies.Ethan is a mafia and my father was also a mafia. I didn't understand all of it and I wanted to sleep at the moment. I had initially thought that we would be going to any of his other houses but he ended up driving to a hotel, all the while, I was shaken at what had happened.We got to the reception and did whatever procedure he had to do.We didn't have any luggage and I wasn't with my phone either, I had left everything in our old mansion.We got up to our different rooms, I freshened up and changed into the clothes Godfather had asked the hotel staff to bring up to my room.When I was done having a cool bath, I laid on the bed and tried so hard to fall asleep but all I got were headaches and flashbacks of a few hours ago.I walked into the hospital room shivering, four bodies laid there.“Ma’am, please identify the bodies.” The nurse i
Kimberly: “But my life is here, my school is here.” I tried explaining to him but I knew that it would be of no use, Ethan hated it when I argued with him.“I know Sunshine but we do not have a choice, you have to leave. This place has become so dangerous, I just want you safe,” he whispered.“But it's prom soon, I still have my last exam, Vanessa would not be happy to hear that I was leaving on such short notice.”“I know.” “So prom? “ “Prom is in a month, I have always wanted prom to be memorable please Ethan. Please.” I added I would roll on the ground and beg him to let me attend prom if that was what he wanted.“After your exam and prom you leave,” he replied.“I leave after grad. It's a day after prom.”“Kimberly,” he called my name softly.“Please.” “Okay, now go to sleep.” Somehow, I was not uncomfortable even after all that had just happened now.Normally, I would argue to the end but today I didn’t, there was no need to. I think I needed a change of environment, a lot
