I'm cold, she is warm, i'm the beast and she is beauty.

~Toni Mahfud.~

I got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my body, walked over to the door slowly opening it knowing Toni was still asleep. I tippy toed my way to the closet pulling out my outfit, i quickly ran back into the bathroom shutting the door quietly and slowly.

I dropped my towel slipping on my lacy undergarment, i then put on my outfit. as i was drying my hair the bathroom door opened revealing a sleepy Toni, i turned off the blow drier knowing i was the one that woke him up.

"Did i wake you up?" I asked feeling guilty.

He chuckled shaking his head. "I was up when you were taking a shower and i saw you in your towel." He smirked making me look up at him with wide eyes feeling my cheeks heat up. "You looked beautiful." He whispered in my ear making me shiver.

Without looking at him i plugged in my straightener, straightening my hair as i was done, i grabbed my makeup bag and did my daily makeup when i was finally done i looked into the mirror to see Toni leaning against the wall staring at me.

I turned around looking back at him. "You look so gorgeous." He said wrapping his arms around me, pecking my lips.

I smiled at him. "Go take a shower." I told him before unwrapping myself from him and walked out of the bathroom, i went over to the bed and decided to organize it, i tucked in the sheets putting the pillows in order on the bed.

After i was done, i heard the bathroom door open i looked up and caught sight of a half naked Toni with only a towel wrapped around his hips, his V line was visible, his abs had droplets of water on them.

I quickly looked down feeling embarrassed, i heard him chuckle. "I-i'm gonna go downstairs." I said nervously.

I made my way to the door hearing him laugh, without looking back i shut the door walking downstairs to see Kevin and Brianna sitting in awkward silence, when Brianna saw me her eyes shinned.

I smiled at her as she jumped up from the sofa. "Good morning!" She said happily.

"Morning." I looked over at Kevin flashing him a smile.

"Morning sister in law." I nodded as my respond.

Brianna grabbed my hand dragging me away from him, she sighed in relief. "Thank god you came down, it was so awkward." She said, looking back at Kevin like she was making sure he wouldn't hear a thing.

"I noticed." I chuckled, i looked over at Kevin who kept glancing at Brianna.

I looked back at Brianna. "Let's go wake Katherine up! She is a very heavy sleeper." She said grabbing my hand dragging me up back upstairs with her.

When we made it upstairs, we both came face to face with Toni who was now fully dressed into a white t-shirt, black leather jacket and skinny cut out jeans, with combat boots. "Done checking me out?" Toni smirked.

I bit my lip looking down. "Done making your wife blush?" Brianna said flashing Toni a small smile. "Now if you'll excuse us." She said before dragging me to Katherine's room.

Opening the door revealing Katherine who was a starfish on the bed dead asleep, i laughed at the sight, Brianna walked over to her. "Watch this." She told me before slapping Katherine across the cheek.

I expected her to get up, but she was still dead asleep. "Katherine!" She yelled, she was still asleep.

I looked at her surprised, i shut the door walking over to Katherine. "Kat?" I shook her, she moved a little but didn't wake up.

"I told you she is a heavy sleeper."

"I believe you."

She looked around the room, then her eyes caught sight on a glass of water sitting on her nightstand, she smirked reaching over for it.

"Brianna, i don't think-" I cut myself off when she tipped the glass spilling the water on Katherine's face causing her to shoot up gasping.

"What the hell! Brianna i'm going to kill you." She said rubbing her eyes, throwing the sheets off her, Brianna ran towards the door but was tackled to the ground by her.

I covered my mouth as i tried to stop myself from laughing at the scene, the door quickly bursted open revealing Toni and Kevin who looked worried but soon their expression changed when they saw Katherine and Brianna still on the ground.

"How many times do i have to tell you not to wake me up! I'm not a morning person!" Katherine yelled, Brianna kept laughing.

"Hey, i'm trying to be a good friend and teach you how to be one." Brianna said through her laugh.

Toni sighed walking over to me wrapping his arms around me. "We thought someone was dying." Toni spoke up.

"Nope, i was just trying to wake this idiot up but she tackled me to the ground."

"That's because you spilled water on me!"

"Can you get off me i can't breathe."

"Oh! so you are calling me fat now?"

"I didn't say that!"

I couldn't help but to burst out laughing at the scene, Katherine and Brianna's head turned to me, Brianna pushed Katherine off of her.

"You were supposed to help me!" Brianna said.

"You dragged me to her room, to help you wake her up." I defended myself.

Katherine stood up giving Brianna a look. "Everyone get downstairs! We have a guest." We heard Sara yell from downstairs.

Toni sighed in annoyance before grabbing my hand and we all walked out, even Katherine who was still in her pajamas, we walked downstairs to see a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes just like Serena, she looked like she could be her mother.

"Toni!" The woman squealed pulling Toni in a hug, Toni looked at me raising an eyebrow before wrapping his arms around her awkwardly, when they both turned away, her eyes fell on Kevin and Katherine.

"Kevin! Katherine!" She also pulled them into a hug, Brianna grabbed my arm pulling me next to her.

"That's Serena's mother." Brianna said eyeing her before looking back at me. "Don't get to close she is worse than the devil, she ruins relationships just like her daughter." I glanced at Serena's mother then back at Brianna. "Her name is Destiny." The woman turned looking at me and Brianna.

"Nice to see you too, Brianna." Brianna's name rolled out of her mouth in disgust. "Who are you?" She asked rudely, i looked at Toni nervously.

He came over to me smiling wrapping his arm around my waist. "This is my wife Layla." He introduced for me.

Destiny scanned me up in down in disgust making me feel insecure. "Layla." Her tone was just like the one she used for Brianna. "Anyways where is my daughter?" She asked looking around.

"Right here mother." We heard Serena say, i turned my head to see Serena walking over to her mother wearing revealing clothes and pulled her into a tight hug. "I missed you, mother." She said as they pulled away.

I unwrapped myself from Toni walking into the kitchen where Jennifer was, she was cutting the vegetables harshly, the knife went towards her hand making me quickly take the knife out of her hand before she could cut herself.

"Jennifer." She looked at me with tears in her eyes. "What's wrong?" I asked putting the knife down on the table.

She wiped her tears. "I'm going to be stuck in this cabin with my husband and that husband stealing whore." She said clenching her teeth together. "Jordan thinks that she has changed, but i know she hasn't." she cried, i frowned wrapping my arm rubbing her back.

"Nothing is going to happen, Jordan loves you." I told her softly, as i felt tears hit my shoulder.

Someone cleared their throat's behind us making us break the hug, i turned around to see Toni standing there with a confused look.

"What's wrong?" He asked walking up to his mom.

She looked at him with teary eyes. "Nothing, i was just telling Layla that i'm happy she's your wife." She lied.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "You don't need to cry about that." He told her kissing her forehead.

She smiled up at him. "I need to go and see where your father is at." She said before walking past him, she sent me a small smile and left the kitchen.

I turned to Toni who raised an eyebrow at me. "What was she actually crying about?" He asked walking closer to me.

"She told you." I said avoiding eye contact looking down at the counter, my hand was on, he grabbed my arms turning me around to look at him.

"You're lying, i want to know why she was crying."

I was going to say something but Katherine barged into the door, with a angry expression plastered on her face. "Father dearest is asking for you." Katherine said with an angry tone before leaving the kitchen.

Toni sighed in annoyance, and grabbed my hand walking us out of the kitchen, we entered the living room to see everyone was seated, but my eye caught Jennifer, who was sitting across from Jordan and Destiny who was sitting very close to him.

Me and Toni slowly made our way to Jennifer and sat right beside her, Toni wrapped his arms around me pulling me close to him.

"Since we are all here, i have something to tell all of you." Jordan said, making everyone wait for him to say what he was going to announce. "As you all know Destiny has a son." I felt Toni's hand squeeze my hips. "Me and Destiny made a deal that her son will take share of our company-" He was cut off by Toni.

"What!?" He shouted, everyone looked at him. "There is no fucking way i'm going to let that son of a bitch take share of our company!" He stood up letting me go.

Jordan stood up glaring down at him. "I made a deal." He said, Jennifer shook her head standing up and walking upstairs.

"Who gives a shit about the fucking deal!?"

"I do!"

"What the fuck is wrong with you!?" Toni shouted as he took a step closer to his dad.

I stood up grabbing onto his arm. "Toni." He glanced down at me.

"What's next you are going to make him take my place!?"

"I was planning on it!" Jordan shouted. Kevin stood beside Toni in case a fight happens. "I wish he was my son too! I would be proud to have a son like him instead a useless one!" I looked at Jordan in shock, Toni looked at his father with hurt.

Toni chuckled sadly at his dad shaking his head. "Why am i not surprised?" Toni said, i could hear the sadness in his voice. "It's because my whole life since your son ran away with my ex girlfriend you've blamed and hated me." My heart stung at him being this way.

"I let you choose my discussions, i let you take control of my life and you still hate me, thanks to you and your son i turned to something cold something i never wanted to be, but none of you were the ones that helped me." He reached for my hand interlocking it. "She was the only one that broke something that was impossible." Tears formed into my eyes looking up at him.

"We're leaving." He said, we walked past his dad and towards the stairs, he quickly lead us towards our room, opening the door and shutting it behind us when we stepped in. Without saying a word he let go of my hand and walked towards our suitcase.

He put them on the bed unzipping them. "We are leaving." He said, grabbing all his clothes sticking them in the suitcase, i walked to the closet without saying anything to him knowing he was already upset, i grabbed his clothes with mine folding them and sticking them in the suitcase.

When we were finally done sticking our clothes and products in our suitcases, i grabbed my side bag sticking my phone in there, he grabbed our suitcase then reached for my hand and we walked out of the room downstairs to see everyone seated quietly.

"Enjoy being a family without me." Toni said coldly, before he opened the front door and we both walked out leaving the rest of them.

We walked over to the car, he let go of my hand opening the trunk sticking the suitcase in it shutting it behind him. "Let's go." He said without making eye contact.

"Toni." I softly said grabbing his arm, he slowly looked up at me, i wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him into a hug, after a second i felt him wrap his arms around my waist holding me close.

I rubbed his back soothingly, we slowly pulled away. "Let's leave." He said opening the drivers seat and got in. I walked over to the passenger seat opening the door and getting in, he started the car and drove off back home.

After a long silent drive we made it back home, i opened the car door hoping out shutting it behind me, Toni got out taking the suitcase out, we walked back towards the door, opening it revealing the maids who were still here cleaning.

They turned around. "Hello Mr and Mrs. Mahfud." Dina said with a big smile plastered on her face.

Toni sighed putting the bag on the ground and walked to his office, i looked at Dina who was looking at Toni with a frown on her face, i smiled over at her. "Hi." I said, a smile reappeared on her face. "I need to go check on him." She nodded and i quickly made my way to the office.

Opening the door to see him sitting on his office chair drinking whisky, he looked up at me then back at his computer, i shut the door and walked over to him. "You should get some rest." Toni said without looking at me.

I played with my hands. "You shouldn't drink." I told him making him look up at me.

"I need it." He said.

"No, you don't."

"It helps me get over stress."

"No, it doesn't, there are other ways now give me the cup." I said reaching over for it but he moved it away from my grasp.

He sighed in annoyance. "Let me be." He said taking another sip.

"Toni, please give it to me."

"I said let me be!" He shouted making me finch back, i swallowed hard looking down at him. "I don't want to talk, leave." His voice was so cold it made me shiver.

I shook my head turning around walking towards the door before i opened it i turned around looking at him. "I'm sorry for worrying about you." I said, with a lump in my throat, turning around opening the door and walking out.

I shut the door behind me, i walked to the front door opening it. "I need you to take me somewhere." I told the driver.

Tears fell from my eyes as i played with the rocks, the tears falling from my face and onto the floor, i couldn't control the sob escaping my lips as i looked down.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, as i chocked back a sob. "I'm sorry i never came early, i wasn't ready, it was all my fault you fell sick, you would have never been in this position if i wasn't here, you would have been happy with mom but it was all my fault, i should have never been born." I cried looking at the tombstone.

"Dad, i know you said don't cry when you die but i can't do it, i didn't have a proper conversation with you and it's eating me alive. I wish i had a chance to be with you and mom i wish i had a chance to have a family time with the both of you." I sobbed, putting my face in my hands. "I love you, dad." I heard something crunch behind me.

Turning around to see my mom looking at me with tears in her eyes. "Layla." She said coming towards me pulling me into her comforting warm arms. She kissed my forehead putting her cheek on my head.

We both stayed in silence with tears falling from our eyes. "Shh don't cry." Mom said pulling away, i wiped my tears so did she. "We need to be strong, your father wouldn't want to see us like this." She said and i nodded in agreement.

"I know." I said with a broken cracked voice. "I know." I repeated looking down at his grave.

The sun went down and the moon appeared. The car came to a stop, opening the door getting out, i walked towards the front door opening it, stepping in shutting the door behind me, i sighed walking towards the living room to see Toni pacing back and forth while running his hand in his perfect hair.

I looked at him confused. "Toni?" He quickly turned around to see me.

He ran up to me pulling me in his arms holding me tight like he didn't want to let me go. "Thank god." He said, he inhaled my sent. "Where were you?" He asked when we pulled away but his hands were still around my waist.

"I was visiting my dad's grave." I told him.

He sighed in relief. "I thought you left me." He said, making me look at him surprised, i could tell he was slight drunk but he was aware of himself. "I thought you left me like everyone else." I felt my heart crack by his words.

"Toni." I pulled him into my arms. "I would never." I said kissing his cheek, he let out a breath in relief. "Come on let's get you to bed." I grabbed his hand leading him out of the living room and took him upstairs to our room.

Shutting the door behind us as we walked towards the bed. "Toni get dressed into you-" I cut myself off when i saw him stripping off his leather jacket and shirt, slipping off his shoes and threw himself on the bed closing his eyes.

Walking up to him, grabbing the blankets and putting it over his body. I leaned down kissing his forehead letting my mouth linger before turning around and walking away but stopping when i felt a hand clutch onto my wrist.

Turning around to see Toni. "Don't leave." I smiled and nodded.

"Okay." I said walking over to my side and taking off my shoes then hopping into the bed beside him letting him wrap his arms around me. "Goodnight." I closed my eyes.

"Night." I heard him say before i fell in deep sleep.

I woke up to see an empty spot beside me, i threw the blankets off me letting the cold air greet me, standing up walking towards the bathroom washing my face and wiping the remaining makeup from yesterday.

Exiting the bathroom and walking into the closet pulling out my black leggings and green crop top, stripping out of my clothes from yesterday and slipping on the leggings and crop top, i went into the bathroom grabbed my brush quickly brushing my already straightened hair from yesterday and did my makeup.

When i was finally done, i slipped on my white converse and walked downstairs to be greeted by the smell of something burning my face scrunched up in confusion quickly making my way to the kitchen.

To see Toni shirtless, flipping a pancakes. "Fuck!" I heard him say, i walked up behind him looking over his shoulder to see a burnt pancake.

"Pancakes." I said making him jump he turned around to see me. "And they're burnt." He sent me a look.

"I'd like to see you try." He said, i chuckled.

"Let me make it." I said taking the spatula from his hand and taking the burnt pancake out of the pan sticking it in a random plate, i grabbed the pancake mix sticking it into a pan, i flipped the pancake nicely. "See." I said taking it out putting it in another clean plate.

He stared at me with a smirk appearing on his face, i looked at him confused. "Yeah see." He grabbed the pancake mix and putting it on me.

I gasped. "Toni." I whined, he roared of laughter, clutching onto his stomach.

I grabbed the pancake mix from him and poured it on him too. "Layla!" He yelled. "I'm so going to get you." He said making me squeal before dashing out of the kitchen.

I turned around to see him running behind me, i quickly made my way to the dining room, i went towards the back of the room and picked up a glass plate, he opened the door with a big smirk on his face.
