Terrance's POV

It's all happened so fast. I was just coming home from work. I was just obeying the law and a fucking car out of no where crashed into  mine.

I didn't die, but before I could react, the person came out of the car and moved towards mine very quickly and when I saw a knife in his hand, I knew he hadn't come in peace.

I couldn't see the person's face, but I knew for sure it was a guy and sadly, I couldn't move my body as well.

"Stay away from her, she's mine." He said before he inserted the knife into my stomach, and everything around me felt dark.

A groan escaped my lips as I felt pains on my body. That was not the only thing I felt on me. I weakly opened my eyes and realised I was in a hospital, with my lovely wife's head on my chest and she was sleeping soundly.

Her cheeks were stained with dried tears  and my heart ached that she must have been crying. She stayed behind just because of me. I felt so good she cared about me.

I moved my wrist slightly and gently grazed my fingers on her cheeks. Her brows furrowed a bit and she woke up and my chest tightened when I looked into her red puffy tired eyes.

"You're awake." She sighed in relief and put my hand down.

"Why were you crying?" I asked.

"I wasn't crying." She lied.

"Why are you lying to me?" I asked.

"I don't know." She whispered back and I chuckled. I suddenly tried to get up but she stopped me.

"Esther I'm fine." I assured her but she shook her head.

"No baby, you need to rest." She said and I scoffed laing back. She could really manipulate me with the baby word.

"What happened to you?" She asked rubbing her eyes.

"Just a minor accident." I sighed and she stared at my stomach.

"What happened there?" She asked frowning.

"Someone stabbed me" I answered truthfully and she tensed up a bit.

"Who?" She whispered.

"I don't know but the person was like I should stay away from her." I said wondering who the "her'' could have been,

Esther bit the insides of her cheek but she didn't say anything. She later ran her fingers through her hair and breath out through her pouty lips.

"Any clue?" She asked and I shook my head. I raised my hands to pull her to me but she grabbed them.

"Baby, not now, you need to rest," She informed and before I could whine, the doctor came in.

"Um.,mad..madam please...vi..vi..visiting time is over." He stammered nervously and I wondered if he were a stammerer or he was afraid of my wife.

Esther got up and was about to leave but I gripped her wrist.

"Kiss me before you go." I begged.

"I gave you one when you were asleep." She chuckled.

"Please?" I begged. She turned to me, bended and pecked my cheeks before she walked out of the place and the doctor walked over to my bed.

"How do you feel Mr. Douglas?" He asked.

"Better, can I go home now?" I demanded desperate to be with Esther.

"I'm sorry but your wounds are still fresh." He countered.

I groaned and muttered some curses under my breath.

Silas' POV.

"Bro, all this shit must end, you wouldn't get anywhere with it." I tried to reason with my brother on the phone.

"No way, I want my revenge." He chuckled wickedly,

"What revenge?!" I asked.

"My own family rejected me so I want revenge."

"But you killed Lula!" I said,

"Yes, but did you have to reject me? So therefore, I want revenge." He hung up. My psychopathic  brother would stop at nothing to get his revenge.

I put my phone into my pocket and met up with Karen.

"Oh let me guess, you're were talking with your girlfriend." She scoffed.

"Um no and even if I was, why would you be concerned?"I asked taking steps towards her,

"Because I want my peace of mind so of you're talking on the phone, that mean you were messing with my peace of mind so-"

"Do..Do you really shut up?" I asked when I was an inch away.

"I don't think so because if-" Before she could make her statement because I did the craziest thing by covering my lips with hers soft ones for a while. I pulled away making her cheeks very red and she was silent for a bit.

"What the hell? Did you just kiss me? How dare you?  Do you-" She tried again and I attached my lips with hers and sucked in her bottom lip which was quivering. I groaned when her fingers slowly crawled onto my chest.

I thought she would push me away but she didn't so I did and a squeak came out of her.

"Why couldn't you push me away?" I teased smirking placing my nose on hers. She didn't say anything but rather she looked elsewhere breathing heavily under her breath.

Even though she like fighting  me, I really liked her because she was almost like Esther. I wouldn't deny, I used to like Esther but when I realised she and Terrance were bonding, I mashed my feelings away.

"Karen!" I whispered holding her upper arms making her breath hitch.

"Let..Let go of me." She stuttered breathlessly.

"Why?" I asked leaning in to bring my face into her neck,

"Silas stop." She said when my lips came into contact with her skin.

"You mean this?" I asked and I slowly snaked my arm around her waist and she gasped. "Nervous much? " I muttered squeezing her body to mine.

"Silas." She moaned because her skin was being sucked in between my teeth. When I finnished, I layed my nose on hers.

"Now tell me to stop." I said.

Without wasting much time, I planted my lips oh hers and I gently pulled in her lower lip. When she smootched  me back, I smirked on her lips and attempted to pull away and teased her but she beat me to it by digging her nails into my hair, pulling out the roots fiercely.

She traced her tongue at the seam of my lips and dipped her tongue into my mouth. Not wanting to be dominated by herm I fought her tongue with mine.

We both pulled away and I rested my forhead on here. This was because My cheeks was warming up. She pulled my face and attached her lips with mine again.

"Terrance, how do you feel?" Mr Douglas asked his son and he nodded. We were all in the room where Terrance had been admitted.

Esther was holding Terrance's had as they were being questioned by Mr, Dogulas. After the kiss between Karen and I, she had not dared to talk to me. She was standing in between Jamila and Nina whiles I stood in between Shark and Nigel.

"When am I going to be discharged? " He demanded.

"Bro what th..I mean what? You haven't  recovered and you want to go home?" I asked concerned.

"Um..,yes?" He replied bluntly quirking his brows.

"But Terrance.." Esher started but he cut her off.

"I want to go home right now so that my wife can take care of me." He winked at Ester who was blushing.

"Karen, when did you come?" Terrance asked,

"I came during your honeymoon" She explained and I glanced at her and he caught me. I winked at her and she rolled her eyes blushing.

"So, when will I be discharged?" Terrance asked.

"Um..Terrance, we don't really don't know." Esther said.

"Then ask the doctor." He suggested kissing the back of her hand making her blush more.

"Oh no no no." We chorused.

"I think we'll rather call the doctor." 

"Why?" Terrance asked

"Your wife nearly killed the doctor not to see you."She blurted,

"You..you did all that for me?" He asked squeezing her hand and Esther's face brimmed red.

"Okay, I think we should leave." Nina suggested and we left  them,
