Ian called Lily while I changed into something more casual and left my penthouse in no time . We used our own cars and Ian pulled out of the garage first and I followed him. Though I told him that I wanted to meet the girls I don't have any idea what am I going to do. The only thing that was in my mind was the woman carrying my babies in her womb. I don't know if she feel anything for me the way I feel for her . The memories of the night of party was the only thing that kept playing my mind the whole month away from her. She looked gorgeous the night in that red dress how I wanted to kiss her the moment I saw her open the door for me but I controlled then. But I can't hold back when the men though with date shamelessly ogled at her, she was mine and I wanted to show them all who she belongs to. The dance was the perfect opportunity and I took it. It was just in a matter of second it slipped from me. But it was okay I guess there will be more I could work.The mere thought of her agreed to be my date for the night and there for me was enough to be happy . It was hard for me not seeing her, not talking to her a month. And it's time I claim what's mine but in a way not hurting them ones that I care or love.
I was thinking about the possible ways to keep her with me and I came up with one before I stopped the car behind Ian's in her driveway.
Ian lead me to Elsa's apartment . Lily opened the door for us she look worried. It's my first time in Elsa's house. It's small compared to my penthouse but the interior looks simple elegant and classy just like her. We followed Lily to the living room where Elsa was. The look on her face was mix of imotions when she saw me. And she was looking pale and nervous. I just wanted to go and hold her in my arms but I know I have to behave.
We all took our seats, Lily sat between Elsa and Ian in the sofa her one hand holding Ian's and the other Elsa's while I sat opposite of them. I cleared my throat to get their attention.
"So... Ian told me what happened or I say what you all did " I said looking at each of them who are unable to meet eyes with me.
" I won't say that I'm not angry at him. Lily I never expected this from you. I believed you two respect me as your big brother and trust me but you failed me by hiding something this big. You two didn't think of trusting me and letting me know about your decision before and am very much disappointed in you. " I said seriously looking at them completely avoiding Elsa.
" I'm sorry" Lily mumbled.
"But that doesn't mean that I won't support you or help you" I said smiling. All three of them looked up at me not believing what they just hear.
"You said you help us? " asked Lily.
" Yes. You heard me clearly" I said. She breathe a sigh of relief "Thank you. Thank you very much" she said " It means you forgave us?" she asked again.
"Almost but not completely " I said.
" So what next? You said you will tell me once you meet them " Ian talked for the first time after we're here. After taking a few minutes to think I said
" Um. You know this is a risky situation, we can't take a chance. If the news slipped out anyhow it is not good for you and for our family.So I suggest Elsa to move in with me".
"What? " they yelled unison. And Elsa looked up at me and I looked back.
" You heard me well" I replied.
"Move in with you? But why? "Elsa asked. Her voice was so low like a whisper enough to hear.
" Like I said before we can't risk. Elsa here is single and pregnant with Gregorys heirs.Her belly will grow bigger in a few months I guess and people will ask questions about it. What you plan to tell them. Huh? " I asked her to which she immediately looked down. Then I looked at the couple." We never thought of.Initially we plan to shift her to our house when her belly starts to show and then shift to the hospital when her due date is near" Lily told.
"With the new situation you think it is practical? You can't take care of her and the babies when you need someone to take care of you. And what about if the news leak? " I questioned them.
" That's why we need your help brother " Ian said.
" I'm coming to the point there. If the news leaked it will damage our business and family reputation and your future " I stated.
" My future? "Ian confused.
" Yes. According to father's will you have to marry the mother of your child then you will get your rights in the business and wealth. Right? "I asked
" Yes. I will marry Lily once she give birth to our baby . Then I will get what rightfully mine as father's will" he said smiling at Lily.
"You think it is that easy once the news go out and the lawyers get to know this. The twins will be the first born before Lily's. Then how will you marry Lily when Lily's baby is the second or third born whatever it is. You know what I mean. Can you marry Elsa for the wealth when you love Lily and want to marry only her? " I asked him looking straight at his eyes. I know the answer. He won't. He never marry anyone other than Lily. He love her very much and that's why he agreed to her idea of this mess. I'm also possessive when it comes to Elsa that's why I twisted my speech and never mentioned specifically that the twins are his.I intentionally did that. All through this I was stealing glances at Elsa who sat there like deep in thought.
"No. Never " Ian stated and tightly hug Lily who is sitting beside him.
" OMG!" Elsa also blurted out.
I continued "We have to keep this secret like before and the only way I see is Elsa move in with me and let the world believe the babies are mine. " I was cut off by him asking "Why you do that? They are my babies once I marry Lily we will take them. We are responsible for them and we will " .
I laughed at him and said "You are my little brother and I will do anything for you. And the babies are Gregorys heirs, mine or yours doesn't matter. You just start to plan your marriage " .
No brother I won't allow you to take them from me once Elsa agree to this. I have perfect plan for all.The twins are mine - ours and no one will take them away from me not even Elsa. I thought to myself
"Elsa., You okay? " Lily asked her.
She looked at all of us. I know what she is thinking but I can't help. This is my chance to get her and I'm using this.
" Huh? "
" Elsa, I know you did all this for them. Can't you accept what I said for them for the babies? " I asked her. She thought for a while then nodded her head after looking at Lily. I don't know what made her agree but I was happy that she agreed to live with me that is all I wanted.
" Thank you. We know you have already done so much for us but a thank you is all we could say in return. I'm very lucky to have you in my life, Elsa " Lily said emotionally her tears freely flowing from her eyes.
" And one more thing " everyone looked up to me " You have to sign a contract saying the babies you carry are heirs of Gregorys and I, Jacob Gregory have the full custody of them after you gave birth to them" . Everyone shocked at what I said but I continued "If you like we can add a clause saying that you can be in their life till you want as their mother".
