"Can we leave her out of this, father? Nika's trying to live her life peacefully," Jordan stated. "Let her."

"My whore chose that family over us," Father groaned. "I'm about to die and she's nowhere to be found."

"Then why do you think I was with Nick," I asked. "Trying to find where she is."

"Why'd you say it was," Mother asked. "Is he dead?"

"Yes and father tried to kill me in the process." I started as he broke off coughing.

"Well, that's your fault for being there," He breathed. "You were not supposed to be there."

Getting with Nick was the plan to draw my twin (half twin) out. Nick somehow was something to her. The guy couldn't be her lover because he's not her type. He doesnt even fuck that good. Anyway, because he fell to draw her out, there was no point in staying with him. I never meant for him to die. Besides that, I know my sister and remembering what I did years ago, I lost her. Hell, we're half twins for crying out loud, meaning that we see things differently. The Ross family has always been at war with our family for the longest. History tells that we were all good to one another, but along the line, something happened. And the only one who knows it is our great great grandmother. Yeah. I know. She should already be dead, but she knows all the family secrets and I need to know them all.

My family is made up of a shit load of cousins, niece, nephews, aunts, and uncles. My family that I live with is made up of three brothers, a half twin,

a slut of a mother, and a dying father. After she chose to stay with her boyfriend's family, I wanted nothing to do with her, but since her father is dying, I think it's best for her to come back. That's all I want from her. For my father, well, that's a different story. Apparently, our great great great great grandmother had something life changing in her will. Her daughter, our great great grandmother died before she did, so it was passed down to her daughter. Our great grandmother, but like her mother, she died and it was passed down. Thing is, the bill wasn't passed down to our grandmother. Rumor has it that she slept with her brother and that's how our father came. Because of that, our great great great grandmother didn't want to make a mistake and pass it off to our mother, so she passed it to the first born. Nika. It would've been me if I was born a minute early.

Why is it only passed down to the girls in the family? I don't know. If I had to guess, maybe she doesn't want a greedy buy to take whatever it is and get reckless with it. It has to be something really great if it has everyone in the family wanting it.

Anyway, I was busy trying to get high, when the maid knocked on my door.

"If it's not important, leave," I said, pulling the blunt between my lips.

"So, I'm not important anymore?" Sandra asked, walking in.

"Well after you lied and had me find out that you're Alice Collen's daughter." I said, lighting the blunt up.

"When, I'm sorry," She stated. "I knew that if you had known before we got together that you wouldn't be with me."

"Yeah," I mumbled. "I have things to do so, you know that way out."

Sandra and I really didn't have a relationship to even start with. She's not my type. Just something I messed around with when I was bored and I'm bored with her. After all, she's the enemy's daughter.

"Set up a meeting with Xavier," I told Daneil. "I need to talk to him."

"He's out of town right now. Family business."

"Well, when's he coming back?"

"All he told me was that he was going to the mafia court for help," He sighed. "He didn't mention when he was coming back."

"Let me know when he comes back?" I asked as a maid walked in with Adam.

"I thought we were having a party." He said, sitting down.

"Why would I have a party when there's someone trying to kill my girlfriend?"

"She's okay?" He asked, unsteady.

"Why wouldn't she," Daniel asked. "And who gave you the address?"

"Enzo," He said, handing him his phone. "He said that he was throwing a party ad for me to come."

We just got here and even if I wanted to throw a party, I wouldn't do it now for that matter. If I were to do anything at all, it'll be after I knew that everyone was safe. This is, who would pretend to be me and contact Adam to come here? Plus, who would know where I am for that fact? Adam may be an old friend of mine, but after college, he was a complete stranger. Right now with everything going on, I can't trust him. Thinking up of a way on how I can trap him, I make eye contact with Daniel and he knows exactly what to do.

Without saying anything, Daniel hits the back of Adam's head causing him to hit the ground.

"I'm assuming that you put two and two together." I sighed.

"Yeah because there's a rat in Xavier's house," He said, texting someone. "The rat's the babysitter, but the way. If she's working for someone, it has to be the same person who Adam's working for."

"What about Anika," I asked. "Can she be trusted?"

"You? Yes. Xavier? No. From what I've heard, Xavier has a girlfriend named Nika."

"As in Ankia?" I asked, sitting up.

"No. As in Anika's half twin Nika. It's a long story to why they're half twins," Daniel said as two men (unknown to me) came in and carried Adam out of the office. "The Hernandez family and the Ross family have always been at each other's necks for many years. She's nothing you'd have to worry about. I just do."

"What are you to Xavier?"

"His right hand man."

"Well, that makes sense."

"Yeah," He sighed. "Do you need help with Adam?"

"No. I'll have Dima help me."

"Hey. I'm sorry that I can't help you past this point. There's a lot I have to do for the Ross' family."

"No. I get it," I said as Rhea woddled in. "You do what you have to do."

"Thank you."

Closing the door behind him, I was completely drained out. Thing was, Rhea saw it in me.

"Are you okay," She asked, struggling to climb onto my lap. "You looked stressed out."

"I'll be fine," I said, helping her up on my lap. "How are you though?"

"A little uncomfortable." She said, laying her head on my chest.

"What's wrong?"

"My stomach weighs a ton, making my back hurt. Then my breasts are numb and swollen."

"Turn around." I said, causing her to look up.

"What?"

"Turn around," I repeated. "Put you back on my chest."

Without questioning my response again, Rhea turned around until her back was against my chest. Having a mother who was pregnant with my brother and sister, I was able to see how my father was a huge help.

Anyway, I placed my hands gently under her stomach and lifted it up. With this, she gasped and leaned more into my chest. Seeing her so relaxed and unstressed, it put my mind at ease and took one less thing away.

"How'd you know what to do?"

"I watched my father help my mother," I said, kissing the side of her head. "And it seemed funny to me."

"Why?"

"Because back then, the thought of having kids never came across my mind. Plus, who I became, I didn't want to have a reason to live nor worry about."

"And now?" She asked, holding my hand.

"And now? Well, building a family with you is all I can think about. You're the reason why I need to be careful about what I do," I explained. "You and this baby are something that means everything to me."

"I know." I chuckled.

Remembering that her breasts were bothering her, I unbuttoned the flannel I gave her and just like butter, her breasts spilled out. Having to calm

myself down, I gently massaged them. From this act, she laid her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes, sighing.

"Is this helping?" I asked.

"A little bit," She groaned. "But it's not my breasts that's giving me the problem."

"Then what is it?"

Waiting for her response, I began to understand what was bothering her. Thing was, she was shy to tell me.

"Rhea," I said, turning her around so she could see me. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm your boyfriend and the father of this child. I need to know."

For a while, she still didn't say anything. A moment later she'd begin to say something, but she'd shut her mouth and look at her hands. Seeing that there's no way she'll tell me what's bothering her, I took matters into my own hands.

Running my thumb across her nipple, I leaned in and closed my lips over them. Sucking them, with my free hand, I massaged her other nipple between my thumb and index finger. Wanting to pull back to treat the other side, I found that I couldn't. Was it the fact that her breast milk was flowing into my mouth and I didnt want to stop? Was it that I was hard as a rock? Whatever it was, I had to force myself away and treat the other one.

Repeating my actions and hearing Rhea's soft moan as she tugged at my hair, I made up my mind that I was going to fuck her right here on my desk. Only thing that stopped me was Dima walking in.

"Man, why is Adam-," He said, walking in. "Are you sharing?"

"Damn it, Dima," I cursed as Rhea hid her face in my chest. "Get the fuck out."

"Fine. I'll deal with Adam myself, then." He said, walking out.

Sighing, I stood up with Rhea in my arms and sat her on my desk. Lifting her chin up, the moment we made eye contact was the moment the sex drive took over.

"Will you come with me for clothes?"

"Why do you need clothes," I asked, still having my eyes closed. "Just walk around the house in my clothes."

"But its been almost a month since we've gotten here and I want to go somewhere."

"I don't need you going out, Rhea," I yawned, turning my back toward her. "Not when there's someone trying to kill you."

"Then I'll have Dima take me." She suggested, squeezing my shoulder.

"I need him here with me."

"Then what can I do," She asked, climbing on top of my side. "I want to go out."

"Rhea, please," I begged, turning, causing her to fall on the bed. "You are not going out. I would gladly take you but I'm busy and I need to sleep."

"Fine," She huff, climbing out of bed. "I hate you."

"Love you too."

Turning on my stomach and laying my face on the pillow, I began to rest until a thought came across.

Rhea would do what she wants. She'll find some way to get out of the house and go out when I told her no.

Groaning, I get up, make a beeline to the livingroom to find Rhea grabbing my keys. For her to do anything else, I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder.

"Let me go, Enzo," She yelled, hitting my back. "I want to go."

"Stop fighting me," I said, smacking her butt. "I'm not letting you go."

"Then hurry the fuck up and find who's trying to kill me." She said as I walked back to the bedroom.

"I'm working on it and I'll find them out sooner if you stay where I tell you to and listen."

"Fine," She sighed as I laid her on the bed. "Can I at least go online shopping?"

"Yes," I said as Dima ran in. "Please tell me that you didnt fuck up."

"It wasn't me." He said, running out.

"Stay in here," I said, putting a shirt on.

"I want to come with you." Rhea said as I grabbed my gun.

"Youre fucking pregent, Rhea," I stated. " I wouldnt let you go into danger even if fucking hell turned into ice."

Not waiting for her response, I ran out, locking the door behind me. At this, Rhea's screams were heard. I know that this might not be the best choice but I need her safe.

Anyway, I ran over to find Dima. Before I could find him, my father ran to me.

"Have you seen your mother?"

"No but what the fuck is going on?"

"I dont know." He said as Dima ran over.

"I can't find Sophie or mom," He breathed. "I checked every inch in this house but I can't find them."

"Well, what happened?"

"I went to see if Adam was really down there. Well, I did and I left, but there was a loud crash. I went back and saw the fucking cell wall teared down."

"Did you know that Adam was working for someone?" Father asked.

"No," I said as my phone ranged. "I just found out today."

Father was saying something, but I wasn't listening. Looking at the caller ID I was too stunned to do anything. Let alone breath. With a shaky hand, I answered the call and held it up to my ear.

"Hello baby," She said. "Did you miss me?"

"Is this what you're doing?"

"Enzo, you know I hate it when you answer a question with another question," She stated. "Did you miss me?"

"Why are you doing this?" I asked, walking toward the room.

"You know what, do you miss your little slut," She asked. "She has my baby, Enzo. She has our baby."

"You died, damn it," I cursed, seeing the door broken down. "You were dead. You were gone."

"But I'm back," She said. "We can be together."

"I'd rather die than get back with you," I yelled. "I will find you and our meeting will not be great!"

"Well, lets just see about that when your slut of a girlfriend has the baby and is dead," She threatened. "I do not like the way you're talking to me, but yes. Yes we will meet, but I'll come to you."

Before I could say anything, my stomach dropped when the line went dead. I did everything I could to protect Rhea and our unborn child and still, the enemy finds a way to take her. Never had I thought that an old... What do

I even call her? She's nothing to me. She had died in my arms. I was there. I don't know how or who helped her, but she found a way to fake her death and has the nerve to come into my life, thinking that I'll take her back. Well, it's too late for that. You crossed a line, now you actually die.

"Enzo," father called, running in with Dima behind him. "What happened here?"

"Dima, call Daniel and tell him to tell Xavier that his sister was taken." I said, standing.

"Son. Who did it?" Father asked as Dima did what I asked for.

"Lisa," I said, feeling sick at the name. "She faked her death but true death will come to her."
