《Forced To Marry Mr.CEO》Chapter 38
Advertisement
I couldn't sleep all night yesterday thinking of what happened, at this moment i'm still wondering what they've done to Holly. I shivered at the memory playing in my head, she could've killed one of us yesterday. Katherine was more terrified than me and Anna and I don't blame her she was asleep when she was attacked by Holly.
I sighed lacing up my shoes before standing up and walking out of the closet. My eyes landed on Toni who was sitting on the bench in front of the bed looking down at his phone with a stressful look plastered onto his face.
Toni looked up from his phone and at me. "Come here." He motioned, setting his phone beside him.
Putting my lips in a line as I walked towards him, letting him pull me into his lap, placing a kiss onto my forehead as I leaned my head against his shoulder. "You've been stressing a lot." I commented, lifting my head off his shoulder as my arms wrapped around the back of his neck.
He sighed placing his forehead against mine. "I'm just thinking of ways to keep you and our child safe from these psycho people." I frowned knowing he was giving himself a hard time just because of our safety. He's barely getting any sleep because of me. "It's all my fault."
I removed my forehead from his. "No." I placed one of my hands onto his cheek. "Nothing is your fault. None of this is." I denied, making him look me straight into my eyes. "They are the ones that choose to torture me. " I stroked his cheek gently. "Holly is gone. Stop stressing. You didn't even get any sleep last night and that makes me feel guilty knowing that you are guarding me at night." He closed his eyes sucking in a breath.
"I'm afraid if I go to sleep something will happen to you." My heart ached instantly, placing a kiss to his cheek.
"Holly is gone and i'm fine." I reassured, kissing all over his face causing him to open his eyes. "I promise you i'll be fine. We'll be fine." He placed his hand against my stomach with a small smile against his lips. "You still think they are twins?" I asked with a raised brow.
He looked down at my stomach with a grin. "Yep." I chuckled, kissing his lips before standing up from his lap. "Come on, let's go make breakfast." I grabbed his hand, he stood up as we walked out of our bedroom.
We had returned home last night everything was still the same, the guards were still in front of the door for now until Toni was sure she was gone for sure. We walked downstairs and towards the kitchen, I let go of his hand and opened the fridge taking out eggs.
"Homemade pancakes?" I asked, looking over at him with a smile.
He sat on the dining table watching me. "Don't mind, you pancakes taste amazing." I flashed him a smile before turning around and grabbed a bowl with other ingredients.
Mixing them all together and mixing them up together. Toni isn't the only one that can't sleep at night, it's me as well but I don't show it, fearing that if I do it'll cause Toni to worry even more. I have this feeling in me that is not sure if Holly is gone for sure.
I put my lips in a line shivering in fear thinking of what happened yesterday. I shook it off pouring some of the ingredients in the bowl into a pan, waiting for it to slowly form into a pancake. I slightly jumped when big arms wrapped around my waist, a kiss was placed onto my cheek.

"I love watching you cook." Toni whispered in my ear, causing me to blush as I flipped the pancake to the other side.
"Mhm." I put my lips in a line as my smile came to my face. Turning my face towards him and placing a kiss to his mustached face, looking back at the pan while Toni placed his chin on my shoulder.
"I love you." He kissed below my ear.
I smiled looking back at him. "I love you too." I kissed his cheek once again before continuing what I was doing.
Sitting in my living room with Toni's parents, sibling, Drake, my mother, and Gina. I was wrapped in Toni's grasp with my mother sitting on the other side of me. "I can't believe that happened. Jordan and I leave for one day and a psycho comes into our house and harms you all." Jennifer said, looking down shaking her head.
"Where were the guards?" Jordan questioned raised his brow.
"You got low class bodyguards so they were easy to trick." Kevin said bitterly as he held his son.
Jordan looked over at Kevin with a glare. "If you hadn't got with Brianna maybe the situation would have been different." He snapped, causing me to wince at his words.
Toni sighed. "Enough. There is no point in you saying that, after all Kevin had no idea about Brianna. And if it is anyone's fault it's mine." Toni said, taking the blame.
I ran a hand through my hair, sitting up from my seat. "It's no ones fault." I spoke up, giving everyone a glance. "Everyone was played, everyone was manipulated, and blackmailed. There is no need to blame ourselves for something we didn't do."
Anna sucked in a breath, playing with her fingers as she sat on the single chair. "God that was the most scariest experience in my entire life." She shook her head, putting her forehead against her palm.
Katherine sat there with a blank face. "That psycho bitch. I swear to god! If I ever fucking see her again..." She trailed, glaring hard. "I'll fucking rip her apart." She growled, causing Jordan to send her a disappointed look.
"Language." He warned. Katherine rolled her eyes looking back down.
"How are you feeling?" My mother asked, causing me to look over at her with a reassuring smile.
"I'm okay." I responded, she placed a kiss to my forehead.
Drake sat there with his hands interlocked and lips in a line as he sat on the chair next to Anna which caused Travis to watch him carefully, I could sense the jealous in him as he watched his every move making sure he doesn't touch Anna. "Holly has gotten worse, ever since we took her to the mental hospital." Drake finally spoke up, looking at me and Toni. "The doctor diagnosed her with obsessive compulsive disorder. She's obsessed with the both of you." He motioned to Travis and Toni.
"What did she do?" Toni asked curiously, leaning back against the chair as he interlocked my hand with his, keeping his eyes on Drake.
"She attacked a nurse that was giving her pills. They had to strap her down before she attacks anyone else, the nurse was left scared and a really deep scratch mark on her neck." Drake explained, causing me to shiver at the terrifying thought.
Toni squeezed my hand reassuringly. "I don't think she'll cure." Travis commented.

Kevin sighed, handing Kenny to Gina. "As long as she stays far away from us."
I sucked in a shaky breath, placing my hand on my stomach. Silence fell over all of us as our minds drifted into other lands. I slowly laid myself into Toni's arms as my eyes slowly fluttered closed, feeling his strong safe arms around me making me feel as if I was home.
Toni and I were sitting in a restaurant eating our meal. We decided to take our mind off the Holly situation by heading out of the house and not think about it anymore, we went out bought a couple of things then decided to stop at Toni's favorite restaurant that was filled with important business people.
I swallowed my food as I stared at Toni who was looking down at his phone, typing a quick reply to who he was talking to before setting his phone down. "My mom just texted me telling me Kenny is sick." I frowned, he was okay earlier what happened now? "Doctor said it was a cold." He added on, causing me to slowly nod.
"Poor thing." I commented, taking a sip of my water. "It's hard..." I stared, causing Toni to look up at me. "Being a parent. I see what Gina has been going through and I don't know if I ca-" Toni cut me off before I could have a chance to finish my sentence.
He grabbed my hand into his big ones. "Every mother is different. No matter how hard it is I'll take the same step with you." I couldn't help but smile, feeling his thumb stroke my knuckle.
"Are you done?" I asked, glancing down at the little amount of food left in his plate. He nodded his head in response. "Let's go for a walk." He smiled nodded, picking up his phone as I stood up grabbing my purse.
Toni placed the money in the checkbook before grabbing my hand and interlocking it with his as we walked out of the restaurant, instantly the breeze fell against our skin as we walked down the sidewalk. "I've realized something." Toni broke the silence, causing me to look up at him as my head was on his shoulder. "I always wondered why my previous relationships didn't last until you came and I knew you were the one that was made for me." My heart fluttered, my hand unconsciously squeeze his.
"I never wanted to be in a relationship because I thought they were difficult. Which they are but if you want it to survive you have to fight for it." I removed my head from his shoulder, when we walked towards the bridge where it revealed waves at the bottom. The wind blew in my hair pushing it back away from my face.
"But you didn't have a choice, now did you?" He smirked, causing me to look up at him and chuckle.
"I may despise what Larry and Mary did to me but after all they brought us together." I stated, looking back at the waves crashing against each other. "Without them I don't think we'd ever meet or I'd never know the lies they hid." Toni sucked in a breath, letting go of my hand and wrapping his arms around me causing me to place my hand against his warm chest.
He rubbed my back up and down. "I do indeed hate them. But i'm thankful they brought us together." I smiled against his chest, as my eyes continued to stay on the waves in front of us.
I felt his chin rest against my head. "I love you." I whispered against his chest, his hand slowly stopped rubbing my back and his lips came in contact with my hair.
"I love you too." I dug my head deeper into his chest.
Silence fell over us once again as we continued to look at the ocean while the wind blew in our ears as did the sound of waves. I cuddled closer into his arms letting his warmth take over my body. "What do you want to name them?" I said unexpectedly, causing Toni to freeze for a second.
"So now you are thinking they are twins?" He asked, causing me to chuckle.
"If they are." I said, picking up my head from his chest staring up at his eyes. "What do you want t name them?" I repeated my previous question, he looked down at me.
"If it's boys. Aiden and Alexander." I bit the inside of my cheek continuing to stare up at him.
"I like it. And girls?" I asked, he stared down at me with bright eyes.
"Isabella and Ella." I broke into a grin.
"I've always liked those names. All four." I uttered, slowly removing myself from his arms. "It's weird how we both had the same names in our minds." His smirk turned even bigger as his blue eyes continued to stare down at me.
He put his hand under my chin making me look up at him. "Soulmates." I couldn't help but laugh at his comment.
"It is possible." I shrugged, he chuckled leaning down capturing his lips onto mine before I could say anything else.
I smiled against his lips letting my lips melt against his, enjoying the moment while it lasted.
She was rocking back and forth on her bed, staring at the wall blankly. Her hair was messy, her nails dug deep into her arms as she glared ahead of her, her face was pale, the dark circles were more visible than ever. She looked tortured and helpless as she continued to draw scratches the more her nails dug deep into her arms.
She shook her head with tears falling down her face. "No. No. No." She repeated, rocking back and forth faster, her hands fell into her hair gripping it tighter. "This can't be happening! I won't let them get away with this! NO!" She screamed loudly, pulling at her hair roughly.
The thoughts of Toni being with Layla happy destroyed her. She wanted Layla and the baby dead, she wanted Anna to go with her. She wanted Travis and Toni, she wanted the two Mahfud brothers. She would get them one way or another.
She let out a laugh throwing her head back, in the window Drake stood there staring at Holly with furrowed brows watching her cry then laugh caused shivers down his spine. Drake slowly pulled out his phone dialing Toni's number placing the phone to his ear. "She's gotten worse." He said, as soon as Toni answered the phone.
"What do you mean?" Toni asked, glancing at his wife sleeping beside him.
"She was crying at first and now she is laughing. She's lost it." Drake revealed, watching her get up from her bed and jumping around like she was in happy thoughts. Drake watched her movements carefully. "Defiantly lost it."
Toni leaned against the window watching his wife with soft eyes as she slept peacefully without any fear running through her bones like she did the days Holly was on the loose. Hell she wouldn't even get any sleep. "As long as she's away from my wife and family. It's fine." Toni reassured him, looking out the window once again. "She's locked up there is no way she can escape." Toni continued to add, but at the same time he was doubting his words for some reason.
He had a bad feeling that something like that would happen but he wasn't alone. Drake felt the same way as well. "Hopefully." Drake stated looking back out the window with concern as he watched her grin widely while staring at Drake.
Shivers ran up Drake's spine by the look she was giving him. The look wasn't happy it was almost like a serial killer smiling at you while saying you're next.
