* a month later *



I woke up to my alarm going off and i didn't feel like getting up so i figured if i went back to sleep it'd go away.

" mommy! " i heard.

Maybe if i just zone everything out.

" mommy wake up! " i heard again.

What did I do to deserve this..

" come on mommy " nyla said.

" okay I'm up " I said and quickly turned off the alarm.

I opened my eyes and yawned tiredly- i have barely slept these past few days and i even think I'm losing weight.

Stress!

Anyway.

I quickly got out of bed and looked at the girls to see Serenity sleeping and Nyla smiling at me.

They slept with me last night because we were watching a movie and I was too tired to move them.

" Good morning my beautiful " I said picking her up and ruffling her hair.

Might as well get ready now.

* their outfits



< HENRY'S POV >

I woke up to the sun shining on my face and i got excited.

Maybe it's wrong that i'm excited but in my defense she's been doing entirely too much.

Never being around Jamir.

Always out.

Acting shady with sneak phone calls..

I also found out that he is mine and that he's able to fly so this is even better.

I looked to the side and saw that she was sleeping so I quickly got out and made my way to the nursery.

When I checked on Jamir he was luckily still sleeping so my plan is set.

I'm going to go to the kitchen and make breakfast- put something in her food and call it a day.

I could've already done it long ago but there's been a lot going on that i'm not getting into right now.

~

Once I finished breakfast I put mine on my plate and hers on hers.

She won't find anything suspicious because i've been cooking a lot since Jamir has been born.

" It smells good in here " her annoying voice said from behind me.

I know you can't hear it but i'm telling you.

" yeah i made us omelettes " I said and she kissed the side of my head before sitting beside me.

" how'd you sleep? " I asked trying to start a conversation.

" don't get weird " she said and I shrugged my shoulders.

I took a bite of my food and watched as she took a bite of hers- perfect.



" good morning " I said as i arrived in the kitchen with nyla.

" good morning ma'am, for todays breakfast we will be having chicken and waffles " lenard said and i hummed in response.

" again? " nyla said and we walked to the island.

" what do you prefer? " I asked helping her on the chair.

" cereal! " she said happily.

" okay you can pick your cereal but lenard you can still make chicken and waffles " I said the last part looking at lenard and he nodded turning around.

I've been officially running the mafia for a month and I should've listened because it's stressful.

The paper work is boring and non stop, people lie, i have to torture- wait actually I don't torture.. my guards do.

But there's more to it.

" THIS ONE! " Nyla yelled touching the lucky charms box.

" lucky charms are good " I heard Stephanie say and I nodded in agreement.

" good morning, how'd you sleep? " I asked.

" Amazing actually " she said and sat beside me.

So back to what I was saying..

Anthony is actually away handling business in Poland and he will be there for like three more days.

Today i'm not going to stress too much because I got most of what I needed done already these past few days.

I have one meeting today and that's really it.

Also let's not mention the fact that Sarah somehow got my number and now she's going to be on her way here with Jazmine.

They explained to me what happened and i figured why not let them have a getaway.

Yes I understand this is a mafia but they'll find out eventually.

< HENRY'S POV >

" that was good " she said and I looked to see her sitting the fork down on the empty plate.

" I know " I said and continued eating.

Should be working in 3..

2..

1..

" is it hot in here to you? " she asked and started coughing.

" no but the place you're going to after this will be " I said calmly and looked at her.

Well she's red- that's a good sign.

" w-what did you do?! " she asked clawing at her throat.

I watched as she started crying and choking..

That turned into her standing up and falling.

" see you were one of the people behind the kidnapping of my daughter and her mother, you know how I am about family. " i said and her eyes started to close.

" Adios " I said and stood up leaving.

I went straight to MY room and grabbed my bags from under the bed and just on cue Jamir cried.

I quickly grabbed my phone and ran to the nursery.

" well good morning " I said picking him up.

" you might hate me for killing your mom but maybe you'll get it " I said and grabbed his bottle.

~

After feeding and changing him I put him in his car seat and put his bags on the bed before quickly exiting the room.

I quickly ran to the kitchen and saw her foaming at the mouth so I checked her pulse.

Yep she's gone.

I sighed and texted Janessa as I walked back to the nursery- i already know they're going to come for me.

Me: She's gone. Delivered

Right when I was about to put my phone away my phone vibrated.

Janessa: You can ride with Sarah & Jazmine- jet leaves in thirty minutes!

" Belgium here we come " I said to Jamir who was just staring.

< AUTHOR'S POV >

Throughout that month the families all went back to where they recently were.

what's new is-

Joseph went to Dubai for a little getaway..

Katherine grew closer to Derrick..

Jamie has a boyfriend..

Nathan, Jeremy & Simon are of course working..

We last left off on Sarah running away but that's it with all of them for now.

Jazmine is working on a divorce with her husband too.

Everyone was still worried about Janessa but that slowly stopped when they talked to her on the phone.

Also let me say-

This book didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. I skipped over so much and some things weren't specific enough.

I seriously love y'all and wanna thank y'all for the views , votes , comments - it was unexpected 🤭.

The next book will be written better I hope and I also know what more to add.

I should've been done with this book and i'm finally coming to the end- love that for me.

See you sooooon , i'm lowkey excited but also tell me who Janessa should be with..

Stephanie or Henry..
