Elijah's POV

“Lara is pregnant with my baby.” As soon as Dalton says these words from his mouth, I feel my blood boiling in anger. How dare he get my baby sister pregnant?

“Elijah…” Dalton calls out my name from his mouth, making me shift my gaze to him. I take some steps towards him, making him fall on the couch. Then, I put my one leg on the couch beside and hold his chin, making him face me.

“How dare you get my sister pregnant?”

“I didn't mean to, Elijah. I'm sorry. I should have been more careful.” He says nervously, as a small drop of sweat drips from his head to jaw.

“Careful, my ass! Don't you know the word condom? Or I should say that it's your clingy ass's fault…” I say, glaring into his furious eyes.

“I know that I made a mistake, but can't you forgive me?”

“Mistake? So, you think that getting my sister pregnant was a mistake for you. Now, you will break up with her. Isn't it?” I say, in a cold and husky voice, sternly.

“No... No… I didn't mean it. Of course, it's not a mistake, and I love Lara so much. I'll never break up with her.”

“Then, propose her as soon as possible!”

“You don't need to worry about that, Elijah. I purchased a ring for her two weeks ago. I was just trying to find the right time to propose to her.” With these words, a tiny smile comes upon his face, but still fear is circulating all around his face.

“Good, but if you try to break my sister's heart, then you know what I will do right…” I smirk, trailing my finger wiping sweat from his face. He finally sighs, and his tiny smile turns into a big one.

“Well, this is good. Congratulations on being a father, Date.” Avery says, suddenly pulling Dalton into a hug.

“Always remember what I said, Dalton,” I say, looking at him.

“Gosh! Elijah, don't you think you are too hard on him.” Avery says, rolling her eyes annoyingly. “I know Dalton perfectly. He can do anything for your sister.”

“Well, Let's see-”

“—Wait! Now, this drama has come to an end…” Dalton says, coming towards me. “What are you doing in Avery's house?”

“Well-”

“—We hooked up last night, and now, he is my boyfriend,” Avery says, cutting me off.

Boyfriend? When did it happen? Well, looks like Miss Bennett doesn't waste her time so easily. A mocking smirk comes over my lips.

“Boyfriend? What? How?” Dalton says in a shocking tone with his widened eyes.

“Yeah, Principessa… When did it happen?” I say, looking at her innocently as if I am not enjoying this show.

“We didn't make it official, but I'm declaring that he is my boyfriend,” Avery smirks.

“Avery, don't you think you should have asked Elijah. Isn't it too early? And, since when did you come up with these cringy nicknames like Pretty boy?” Dalton says, with a questioning look on his face.

Avery comes towards me, and holds my hand firmly through her one hand, while the other hand is caressing my cheek gently.

“Pretty boy, Will you be my boyfriend?” When Avery says these five words, I feel like I'm on cloud nine. She finally asked me to be her boyfriend.

The moment that I was eagerly waiting for has finally come, feeling my coronary heart with ecstasy. She doesn't know how much these words affect every part of my body. I'm head over heels for her.

“Why aren't you responding? If you don't accept my proposal right now, then you will be in a deep-” Before she can complete her words, I lift her in my arms and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

“So, Is that yes?” She asks, murmuring through our kiss.

“Of Course. A hundred times, yes!” I chuckle, deepening our kiss.

“You horny teenagers are making my eyes bleed. Just get the fuck into a room or no PDA?” Dalton hisses, closing his eyes with his hands. His words startle us, and I put Avery down, breaking the kiss.

“By the way, Elijah, I need a favour from you.” He says, scratching his back awkwardly.

“What is it?” I ask curiously, folding my arms on my chest.

“I need you to come with me to your home. I'll tell him about Lara's pregnancy. Then, I'm going to ask for your father's blessings. So…”

“So, you need me to save you from my father so that he can't kill you. Gosh! Dalton, I'll gladly enjoy that enchanting view with popcorn in my hand.”

“Elijah!” Avery says, smacking my arm annoyingly.

“Ugh! Fine. I'll try my best to save you from him.” I roll my eyes.

“Now, Things have become better. So, both of you will go to the kitchen and make breakfast for us.” Avery says, smirking at both of us.

“Yeah sure, let's go, Dalton.” He nods, and we make our way to the kitchen. Avery takes her seat in the dining room, putting headphones in her ear.

As soon as we enter the kitchen, we start making breakfast. Dalton cuts vegetables while I do other things. After some cooking, We are done with cream puffs, chicken pasta, Salmon and baked omelettes. By now, the whole house becomes surrounded by a dainty and mouth-watering smell.

“Breakfast is ready!” I declare, as Dalton and I step towards the dining room with food and plates in our hands.

After eating breakfast, Dalton and I bid Avery goodbye and went outside. We hop into our cars and go towards my house. Now, I'm still thinking about Dad's reaction after learning about Lara's pregnancy.

How will he kill Dalton? By his gun? His hand? Whatever… I'll gladly enjoy it, but I've promised Dalton to save him. Let's see what happens.

*At Elijah's House*

When we reach my house, we park our cars outside. I come out of my car to go inside, but I observe that Dalton's not following me. He is just standing still in front of the villa like a damn statue.

Ugh! This guy is going to be my headache.

I go towards him. Then, I see that some drops of sweat are dripping over his face. His lips seem dry, and he is nervous as hell. I think he is more nervous than his first meeting with Dad on that day.

“Elijah, I'm so nervous. What if he kills me right there, and then Lara marries someone else?” He says nervously, making me chuckle.

“Ok. Then… Don't go inside. In that condition, too, You may die from my father's hands to make my sister pregnant unknowingly.”

“No... No… I need to face him right now!” He frowns. Then, he sighs heavily.

“Ok, I'm ready! Let's face him.” With these words, he steps inside the villa, following me.

When we enter the living hall, I find Dad is sitting on the sofa with mom in his lap. What the— I don't know why, but I should have lost my eyesight right at this moment because the sight before me is enough to make my eyes bleed.

Imagine; Your mom is sitting on your dad's lap, and your dad is holding dad is squeezing mom's ass with a plastered smirk on his face. They are just sucking their faces like hungry wolves, and they are not noticing the people around them.

Fuck! I just want to vomit right now!

“Mom, Dad, There is a word Cala led room,” I say suddenly, startling them. Due to my sudden interruption, they hastily got up from the sofa.

“Elijah and Dalton… What are both of you doing here at this time?” Mom says nervously, with a little blush on her cheeks.

“Mom, What are you saying? This is my house too. Also, Dalton has come to tell something important to both of you.” I say annoyingly. “But, both of you are busy sucking each other's faces.”

“Well, we are sorry that you have to see us in this state,” Dad says, moving towards me with his pink cheeks.

“Can both of you wipe that blush from your cheeks?” They get startled again and chuckle nervously.

“So, What did you want to tell us, Dalton?” Mom asks curiously, looking at Dalton.

“LARA!!” I shout to call Lara from upstairs. “GET YOUR ASS HERE! DALTON IS HERE.” Hearing my shout, Lara comes downstairs abruptly.

“Ok, Now, Everyone is here-”

“—WTF! Not everyone. Did you forget me, bro?” Sin says, coming from the backyard. “Are we having some family gathering in which you forgot me?”

“Sin, This is not the time for jokes,” I say, glaring at him irritatingly.

“Now…” I say as I pull Lara towards Dalton and me. “Dalton and Lara will tell us something.”

“Ok. Now, I'm really curious. What is that thing?” Dad says, with a curious look on his face.

“Lara and I are expecting a baby!” Dalton all at once speaks, making everyone excluding me and Lara shocked.

Well, Dalton… Now, you should run for your precious life.

“WHAT DID YOU SAY?” Dad screams, glaring at Dalton angrily. “YOU GOT MY BAMBINA PREGNANT!!!”

“Blade, It's just that-”

“—Shut the fuck up! You better run for your life, Dalton, because I'm about to kill you.” Dad says, moving slowly towards Dalton, but Lara steps in front of him.

“Dad, please calm down. It's not only his fault. It's my fault too.”

“Bambina, Can't you see that this guy got you pregnant with his baby when you are still my little girl?” Dad says, with his glassy eyes, which are full of anger for Dalton.

“Dad, You can't kill the guy. If you kill him, then Lara's baby will grow up fatherless because of you.” I say, holding his arm.

“Blade, Enough of your threats for Dalton! He is our daughter's boyfriend. Do you want to hurt our daughter by killing him?” Mom says, rubbing dad's back slowly to comfort him. Dad doesn't say anything for some moments, but I feel that his anger is slowly fading.

“Dad, I'll always be your little girl, but still I need to be a mother of my children at some point in my life. Dalton is my soulmate and he is the father of my child. So, please don't kill him.” Lara says, with tears filled in her eyes.

“Fine…” He finally says in his husky voice. “I won't kill Dalton, but he needs to promise me that he won't leave my daughter's side, or I'll kill him.”

“I've already assured you, Blade. I won't hurt or leave Lara. She is my life. Leaving her is like giving up from my life.” Dalton says, with an assuring tone.

“You better… or you know what I'll do.”

“Thanks, Dad...” Lara sobs, as she hugs Dad lovingly. “I love you.”

“I love you too, Bambina...” Dad says, placing a sweet kiss on Lara's forehead.

*Meanwhile, somewhere else*

The old clock keeps time in a house that is no longer alive. No sunlight dances in through the dirty windows. Dust, cobwebs, sheets on furniture and flickering lights are surrounding this place. A stray fly buzzed around a chandelier that stared miserably down from where it is bolted to the ceiling, and the open door creaked as a breath of wind caused it to move on its rusty hinges. A crumbling piece of cloth flutters through the air, like a bird trapped in a cage. It is an empty, forlorn building, without a breath.

But this empty and dead building has some dark and bad souls who are still trying to resolve their grudge.

Suddenly, there are footsteps on the stairs with sounds of creaking doors. He has raven hair, dark hazel eyes and a pointed jaw. His muscular body full of marks and scars is something every sinned man dreams of. His movement is like a poisonous snake whose poison can rot this whole world. In those hazel eyes, there is a deep mystery with rage, anger, pain and revenge.

“Did you find anything now?” He suddenly says, to another man, who is looking at him furiously.

“Yes, boss. He was at her house all night. It seems like they have become way too close.”

“So, the Devil has finally claimed his heartless beauty. Interesting…” A wicked smile creeps over his face. “The time is about to come, Nox.”

“I wholeheartedly agree, boss…”

“The devil is about to lose his heartless beauty and his empire. Be prepared, Elijah, for your life's destruction.”

With these words, this old and dead place becomes surrounded by evil chuckles...
