Undoing Love

Oblivious

Lilith's Pov

I was giddy and dancing around my apartment. Some good would come out of all these problems I am experiencing recently. I was waiting for confirmation of the job I paid for, this was really exciting. I mentally patted myself on the back for thinking real good and smart, I have plans to get back with Alfonzo and no children would come between that plan, I should have paid them to kill their mother too. He's mine alone as I have no plans to be a mother or stepmother to any woman's brat. I would offer him the company and he would come running, yes I kept the contacts of the buyer and would offer him twice the sale money am sure he would sell to me.

I am a real good planner and have things in place. Everything would come to me and I would be on top of the world with him by my side. No more struggling for jobs, people would be offering me jobs instead.

I was still dancing with my glass of wine when I saw the news on my tv. I unmuted and the words I heard made me scream out loud.

Author's Pov

Lilith threw her glass at the walls and screamed again. At this rate the neighbors would file a noise complaint. She was tearing at her hair, screeching at the tv, why can't anything go my way anymore? she wailed at the tv. Just then the reporter standing in front of the hospital said " News reaching us is the police has the suspects in custody and an ongoing investigation is being carried out to get to the root of this." On the otherhand Fashion icon and business woman Stacy Sterling is still recovering and according to someone close to the family, she's responding to treatment and stable from the minor surgery carried out. Lilith threw the remote at the tv in dread, she was already panicked and thinking of her next course of action until she remembered one significant detail, they couldn't pin it on her because it was a no contact deal. They have never met and she used a fake name Liane Rosae, if traced back to the account they would know it wasn't a real one but a dummy account where she could bounce money of from her main account to pay anonymously. Her brother set it up for her not knowing what she was planning to do with it, he never asked and she never told, he just assumed as a high profile model she needed some form of anonymity. She relaxed after remembering that detail, she laughed and continued dancing. No bother, those two were incompetent, I would lie low so as to allow everything to die down before I strike again when they least expect it. For now I would amuse myself wit Jennifer and her downfall. Yes, that's what I would do next time she wouldn't be so bold to mock me. Only I mock people they have no right to do it back to me because I am Lilith and I own them, I am on too of everything and everyone.

Alfonzo's Pov

We all were in the waiting room of the private ward waiting for Stacey to wake up. I couldn't even sit still to wait, I kept getting up to pace the room until her brother told me to get the f**k out if I couldn't sit as I was making everyone and even the children uncomfortable and scared. That's when I realized they kept staring and following me with their eyes, it made me self conscious and almost adjusting my clothes and hair. I barely stopped myself. How does one behave when meeting your children for the first time? They kept glancing at me from time to time. Freya suggested they go get ice cream and my daughter Giselle I think her name is walked up to me holding up her hand, I stood wondering if I should bend to listen to her when Freya rolling her eyes said she wants you to carry her, I quickly stooped to pick her up and I nearly lost it, I was holding my daughter for the first time. A sheen of tears came to my eye and I had to blink my eyes severally to get them away, I also noticed Reece was about to come collect my daughter from me but Freya stopped him whispering something to him I don't know what but he relaxed his guard and didn't take her from me and for that I am grateful because there was no way I was going to release her. It was a humbling moment for me, holding my daughter. We stepped out to go get ice cream, I don't know where but so long as I got to hold my daughter I was going wherever they wanted. The boys refused to be carried with one swinging between Freya and Reece while Leonidas if I remember correctly as he introduced himself held the other. I am still wondering what his purpose was here but no bother my daughter was with me and I felt on top of the world. We had just stepped out when I saw my mother with tears running down her face rushing towards us. On seeing us she sobbed openly saying my grandbabies are okay, they are okay she kept repeating it to herself like she was trying to believe it. The children including Giselle who's warmth I missed immediately ran to her gandma! gandma! running into her embrace and talking over each other. I was not paying attention until one of my sons not sure which is which Giovanni or Giacomo said gandma I don't want superman bedroom again, when she asked why? he said because I want batman and continued mumi is like batman gandma. She dove and turn the car when the baddy men tried to to to...... he turned looking at us to help him and I tentatively asked shoot? He turned back to mom and said yes gandma shoot us. I want to be batman so I can dive like mumi and save everybody. Giselle was wiping my mom's face who was laughing through her tears, gandma why you cry? to which she answered these are happy tears baby, am happy to see you because I missed you. One of the boys frowned, you cry when you are happy too? But momma says it's when she's sad that she cries. I cut in reminding them about the ice cream before any argument could come out of their questions and we all headed out, my dad wrapping his arm on my mom's shoulders and letting her know what happened in between her now holding Giselle who I must confess I missed already. One of the boys walked beside me and asked are you our uncle too? How come we are just seeing you? I was stumped on how to answer and looked to the others for help. I didn't want to overstep Stacey's boundaries by telling him I was his father, their father but I really wished I could but I just had to be patient.

Freya & Reece's Pov

Looking at them, one need not be told to know that he was their father. Even Giselle resembled him and it was quite unfair to my friend after all the work she put into carrying the children. I wondered what would happen when Stacey woke up.

As Stacey's brother it was my responsibility to make sure she was safe at all times, I knew this coming to New York was going to be an issue, I was adamant about her not coming and now it's beginning to bite them in the ass. I am not sure but I still suspect that this guy who impregnated my sister is related to all this. She never had any problems or enemies before but once he started coming around things started going haywire. Why she had to pick the most problematic one I just don't know. Look at me and Freya we have our fun, bicker all we like and everybody goes their own way no problems or feelings involved or the added stress of having to owe someone else an explanation no not happening to me. I don't want any part of being tied down. Back to the issue at hand, I have made arrangements while also liaising with Leonidas and we have security covered, no more moving about without security. I know Stacey us going to have words with me because of this but it is non-negotiable at the moment. Atleast until we know what we are dealing with here, we would be cautious so as not to fall into the traps of any of these assassins and kidnappers or the like. No one would get a chance to get close to her or my niece and nephews. Never gain, final.
