Adam Yilmaz POV

I was sitting in Zachary's home office cracking my fingers nervously. I came here straight after Amanda pulled herself together and left. Emily was still a little shaken up but Lena stayed with her and promised they would bake cookies and make milkshakes together. Zachary was eyeing me from behind his desk tapping his fingers on the wooden plank. Elise was standing behind him, her hands resting on his shoulders, her face a mixture of worry and anger.

I sighed standing up not doing great with the silence. "I don't understand, I thought he was in jail?"

"He was let out on good behavior." Zachary glanced at his wife "I told Elise but never thought he would try and hurt you kids."

"Amanda told me he was all excited when he saw Lena talking to Emily when we were in Bali. We used to call her every morning, and he would be there but wouldn't show himself. He was planning something for Lena, and Amanda sabotaged his plans and that's why she left."

"What did he want to do?" Elise asked me her voice trembling. "He can't hurt my babies Zach!"

"He won't. I'll deal with it" Zachary promised her and kissed her hand lightly. "Thank you Adam, for letting us know. You should get back to your family, or better, maybe you could all come live here until we put this behind us."

"No, we'll stay in our house, I'll speak with the security company have them send us a team."

"Very well, if you need anything just call us."

Elise came over and kissed my cheek before hugging me gently "Send my love to the girls".

I bid them goodbye before leaving their house and driving away. I was eager to go home but decided to go to the shop first and get Emily a bag of her favorite gummy bears knowing she'd be delighted. It was always a good way to lighten up her mood.

Once home, I heard them both in the kitchen laughing their heart out, it was a wonderful melody to my ear. I went to the kitchen and gasped when I saw the mess they had both made. The sink was stacked with dirty dishes, the kitchen isle was covered with melted butter and whipped cream. I chuckled as I saw Emily drawing on Lena's face with colored cream. I joined them and our day was well spent in the kitchen filled with laughter and joy.

I didn't say anything to Lena about her uncle, not wanting to worry her for nothing. Zachary said he'll take care of it and I knew he was a man of his word. We had a security team around the house and whenever Lena would ask about it I would say her dad sent them so she would let it go and stop pestering for answers. The first couple of weeks after the incident, I saw it fit that I stayed home and spent more time with the both of them. I only started going back to work when Zachary told me it was safe to leave them with the security team.

He had hired a private investigator to look for him before going to the police with this. Once the PI found Asher, he tailed him and kept an eye on him while Zachary worked with the police. They had to catch him selling drugs in order to arrest him. And that's exactly what happened a couple months later, relieving us all. It was only then that we told Lena everything, and it turned out she knew from the beginning.

"So you were eavesdropping. You loved spying on people since we were little kids. I guess some things don't change after all." I teased her as we got in the car.

"No I wasn't, you and Amanda were shouting, and then I didn't hear you anymore. I was scared she did something to you and that's when I heard you two talk." She said grinning before leaning over and pinching my cheeks. "I heard your conversation by accident".

"Yeah if you say so" I chuckled again happy to see her in a good mood. She was in better shape and had gained more weight, she wasn't depressed anymore which was a relief to us all. "Anyway, he's going through trials, and he might be in for life."

"We do have to thank Amanda for this though."

"Yes we do. She's still in rehab though, she really took it seriously and wants to be better for Emily and it warms my heart."

Amanda was doing great in rehab, and I promised her that if she kept it up and stayed clean once she's out, I'll let her spend more time with Emily. She was her mother after all, I couldn't keep them apart.

"When are we going to Turkey? I miss Serena and Kayra"

"We were supposed to go last month... we can go whenever you want. I'm still surprised Serena left everything behind to be with Keram"

Lena giggled "She's in love with him, just like I fell so hard for you. I would leave everything behind for you too."

I took her hand to my lips and kissed it gently "I would do the same for you as well and you know it."

We went out for dinner that night with Johnny D, Celine and Mason. Celine and Lena were starting to become friends and were able to stay in the same room without fighting about some meaningless matter. Mason had a major crush on Celine, but as predicted she didn't want a serious relationship but still had him wrapped around her finger.

"You should have brought Emily with you. I miss that little ginger bug." Johnny D said taking a sip of his drink. He and Emily were very close, she loved spending time with him. I never took Johnny D a kid lover kind of guys, and he really surprised me with his ability to stand a kid the whole day and also keep her occupied.

"And let her spend time with you guys? While you're all drinking and being jerks? Hell no" they all laughed except Johnny who seemed off. "Hey, what's up man?"

"Nothing, I just miss my Kayra but she doesn't seem to care." He downed his drink in one gulp and waved the waiter for another bottle.

"Maybe she does, she just doesn't know how to deal with the distance" Lena said giving him a reassuring smile trying to comfort him but Johnny D just shrugged saying nothing.

"You know what, we're going to Istanbul in a couple weeks. How about you go with us? You can surprise her, it would be amazing."

"That's a wonderful idea yes I would love to go with you guys, maybe she'll come back with me!" his eyes lit up with hope making me smile. Johnny D was like a brother to me, I hated seeing him upset.

"Yes maybe she will" I laughed asking for the check "It was nice seeing you all guys, but we have to get back and take Emily home." I looked at Johnny "I'll let you know when we're leaving as soon as we set a date."

The ride home was filled with silence, Lena looked tired and her eyes kept closing on their own. Hearing her snore lightly, I smiled not wanting to wake her up and focused on the road. It seemed our life was finally on the right track. And hopefully, from now on we won't have to face such dramas. I parked the car in Zachary's driveway and went inside to pick a sleepy Emily up.

"She's asleep Adam, let her stay here you can pick her up in the morning" Elise whispered as we both looked at Emily.

"No I'd rather have her sleep in her own bed, I know she's safe here but that's just me being over protective."

Elise let out a small laugh as she started gathering and packing Emily's clothes and toys. "She had fun tonight. I talked to her a little about Amanda and she didn't seem to mind the idea of seeing her as much as she did before."

"Really?" I picked her up from the bed she was sleeping in "That's great news. I think Amanda will be out in about three or four months, so that will give Emily more time to process this."

"Yes it will."

She pecked my cheeks and led the way outside smiling when she saw Lena asleep as well. Elise helped me put Emily in the back seat, gave her a kiss on the forehead and did the same with Lena bidding us all good night before I was on the road again. Thankfully our house wasn't that far from theirs and I found myself parking my car in our driveway in no time. I put Emily in bed and made sure her windows were closed before going back out for Lena.

"Baby" I whispered over and over trying to wake her up without scaring her, but no avail.

I ended up carrying her to our bedroom and took her clothes off of her leaving her only in her panties before tucking her in. I took a quick shower and joined Lena in bed spooning her and nuzzling my nose in her hair. Having her so close to me, my arm around her breasts and her vanilla perfume hitting my nostrils did things to me.

I could feel my growing erection getting hard and harder with each passing second. There was no way I could sleep now with my hard on. I pushed Lena's hair aside and started kissing her soft skin, leaving a trail of wet kisses from her shoulder to behind her ear while fondling with her breasts. I heard her moan as she shifted in her sleep and lay on her back making me smirk as her hand slowly made its way to her pussy.

"You are practically inviting me Lena..." I groaned and leaned down kissing her lips wanting her to wake up. I felt her lips move against mine and her tongue probing on my lower lip seeking entrance, which I allowed.

Moaning softly, Lena pulled me over her and wrapped her legs around me bringing me closer to her. She finally opened her green eyes showing me the fire of desire dancing within them.

"You're making a habit of waking me up in the middle of the night for sex" she said lazily smiling seductively.

"Are you saying I shouldn't?" I asked teasingly rubbing the head of my cock on her clit through the thin fabric of her black little panties making her buck.

"Oh... yes... I mean no! Keep doing that" she said huskily leaning her head back into the pillow.

"You mean keep waking you up? Or keep doing this?" I said grinding myself more over her core letting out a low grunt.

Lena groaned in frustration and cupped my face "Stop torturing me! You woke me from my sleep the least you could do is pleasure me!"

"Well beg for it then" I smirked removing her panties leaving her completely naked.

"Cocky bastard!"

She shoved me back on the bed and straddled me claiming my lips in hers kissing me like her life depended on it. My hands found her butt cheeks and I gave the right one a light slap making her squirm and bite down on my lower lip. I could feel her wetness over my dick making it slip up and down her slit wanting nothing but to be inside her.

As if she read my mind, Lena lifted herself up just enough to guide my erection to her entrance. I let out a groan of pleasure as she teased me for a few seconds not letting it slip far enough. I held her ass tightly and pushed her down to me burying myself hard inside of her. Her face contorted in a mixture of pain and pleasure sending me to the edge.

"Fuck Lena!" we held each other's gazes as she pressed her palm on my chest and rode me to pure bliss.
