《Forced To Marry Mr.CEO》Chapter 36
Advertisement
Toni helped me slip out of the car as the butler grabbed the one suitcase that was in the trunk. We walked towards Jennifer and Jordan who were standing at the porch waiting for us, Jennifer immediately wrapped me into a tight hug. I couldn't help but feel tears burn my eyes as my heart continued to sting in pain.
"I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this." She whispered in my shoulder, as she rubbed my back soothingly.
I blinked quickly removing my watery eye sight, as we pulled away from each other. "It's fine." I lied, giving her a smile that didn't reach my eyes. Turning to Jordan who pulled away from Toni, and pulled him into a quick short hug.
"It's good to have you two back in the mansion." Jordan said, when we pulled away from each other. "I know this mansion has many problems but it's only a few weeks until we find Holly." He reassured, I sent him a smile.
"It's okay." Toni laced his finger with mine.
"We'll go check on Katherine." Toni said, Jennifer nodded giving us room to enter the mansion.
I sucked in a breath when we entered the old mansion we previously lived in, nothing has changed at all but there were different picture frames on the wall. One of them were of me and Toni on our wedding day, we didn't look happy but after all we were forced to be together the next picture was of the both of us smiling at each other during a little get together.
Looking ahead of me as we climbed the stairs and towards Katherine's room. I leaned over knocking on the door, hearing a low groan come from the other side of the door. "Come in." She called out, Toni and I both glanced at each other before he opened the door and we both slipped in to see her laying in bed with her arms shielding her eyes. "Just set the cup there, Martha." Toni and I both held our laughs.
"The last time I check i'm not Martha." He said, causing Katherine to freeze before she removed her arms from her eyes sitting up, looking at the both of us with wide eyes.
"What are you two doing here!?" She asked in surprise and shock.
Toni grinned at his sister, walking towards her placing a kiss to her forehead. "I need to keep Layla safe from Holly and this is the only place that is filled with people and there is no way Holly can get through everyone." Katherine looked up at me opening her arms.
I chuckled, walking up to her wrapping my arms around her. "Hi." I greeted, with a tiny smile playing on my lips.
"I'm sorry I brought Brianna to this family." She apologized, pulling away from the hug. She frowned looking down at her hands. "I was giving Kevin shit for breaking her heart. I'm so stupid." She said, guiltily. "Kevin won't even talk to me nor look at me." Tears slipped from her eyes.
I sighed, placing my hand on her cheeks removing the tears. "You didn't know. Kevin doesn't blame you, he's just..." I trailed. "Heartbroken." I continued. I sent her a small smile, grabbing her hand. "She fooled all of us."
Katherine nodded her head. "I know. But I took most part in it by bringing her and accepting her as my friend." She shook her head, blinking her eyes rapidly trying to hide the tears. "Now I regret it. Eliza was kind of better than her." Toni sighed in annoyance.

"They're both the fucking same in different ways." He corrected, throwing himself on the bed. Laying on his back with his hands rubbing his face due to stress. "The chief is still trying to find Holly." He stated, I shivered at the thought of her. Feeling fear rise in the pit of my stomach. "And I need to get to Drake." He stood up tiredly, I bit my lip having this feeling enter me of not wanting him to go. He walked towards me placing a kiss to my forehead. "I'll see you soon." I nodded giving him a sad smile.
"Be careful."
Toni went towards the bedroom door. "Toni." He turned around looking over at Katherine. "Find the bitch and stick her into a mental asylum or something." He chuckled, nodding his head and walked out of the room.
Right when Toni left there was a soft knock on the door. "Come in." Katherine called out, the door slowly opened revealing a beautiful blonde haired woman walked in with Kevin's son in her hand. "Gina." Katherine greeted her with a smile. "Please come in." She told her softly.
Gina walked in with a smile on her face as she held her son lovingly. "Hi." She greeted.
"Hello." I greeted back.
Katherine smiled at us. "Layla this is Gina. Gina this is Layla." She introduced us. "You both already know whose married to who and whose baby mama is whose." She said, causing us to both laugh.
I stood up with a bright grin on my face walking towards Kenny, he reached out for me as I took him from his mother's grasp. "He's perfect." I complimented the child in my arms.
"Thank you." Gina responded. "Um..Where is Kevin? I heard about what happened. Is he alright?" She asked, looking concerned. I couldn't miss the look in her eyes when she brought up Kevin's name.
Kenny wrapped his tiny hand on my thumb. "He's a little heartbroken. Drunk. And all..." She trailed, Gina looked worried as she sat on the chair in the room. "If you want to see him, he's in his room." Gina looked hesitant, she slowly looked at me. I gave her a reassuring smile. "I think he'll open up to you." Katherine continued.
"I don't think I can." She responded with honesty. "I'm just the mother of his child."
I sighed disappointed. "I think he needs someone by his side, right now." I spoke up, gaining her attention.
She nodded in defeat standing up. "Are you okay with keeping Kenny for now?" She asked. I grinned at her, nodding my head.
"I'm completely fine with it." I replied, she smiled at me walking out of the room.
Katherine and I both shared a knowing look. "She loves him." Katherine commented, laying on her back on the bed. I placed a kiss onto Kenny's hand, as I walked over to the chair Gina previously sat at and took a seat myself. "I don't understand how Brianna could play someone so bad." Katherine muttered, glaring at the ceiling.
"Some people do stupid things for the people they've lost." I commented, looking down at Kenny in my hand. "Many things that could cause them to go the prison." I huffed, putting my back against the chair.
Katherine groaned standing up from the bed. "I hope they find that Holly bitch so I could teach her a fucking lesson." She hissed in anger.

The bedroom door opened revealing Kevin who had dark circles under his red eyes. His body looked tired as his whole entire face was heartbroken and sleepless, without saying or looking at any of us. He walked towards me taking Kenny out of my hands gently, Gina looked down at her hands sadly as Kevin took a seat beside me on the empty chair. Placing kissed on his son's head and rested his cheek against it.
I ran a hand through my hair. "Kevin." My voice came out softly, his attention slowly turned to me. "I know it hurts but don't do this to yourself for your son's sake." I told him, he looked down at his son.
"I know." His voice was raspy.
I slowly looked at Gina to see her looking heartbroken at his sight. "She isn't worth the pain you're taking. Your hurting yourself while she's laughing at you. I beg of you! Kevin don't do this for our son's sake." Gina spoke softly, crouching down in front of him.
Katherine and I both shared a look before I stood and up as we both walked out of the bedroom.
I laid on Toni and I's old bed, while playing with the locket around my neck staring at the window with my head rested against the pillow turned onto my side with my other hand on my little bump. The door opened causing me to look over and my heart instantly bursted into happiness when I saw who entered the room.
"Mom!" I yelled in happiness, standing up and running towards her, letting her embrace me into a hug. Tears fell out of my eyes as the warmth of the motherly hug embraced me tightly, her kiss to my forehead, showed me how much I missed her. "I missed you." Tears slid down my face as she rubbed my back, placing another kiss to the side of my head.
"I missed you too." She responded. We pulled away from each other.
"How is Charlotte?" I couldn't help but ask, even if I don't know her I still felt the need to ask because she was my aunt.
My mother smiled at me reassuringly. "She fine and was discharged for the hospital yesterday. Her husband took her back home." She informed me. I sucked in a breath nodding my head. "I heard about holly and everything." She started with a frown.
I sighed walking towards the bed taking a seat. "I'm scared." I confessed, staring up at my mother with fear written all over my face.
Her face grew sad as she walked towards me and sat beside me, placing her arm around my shoulder while I placed my head on her's.
"I know honey. I know." She repeated. Kissing my head. "Everything will go by soon. I know Toni will find her and this will all be over." She reassured causing me to look up at her unsuringly.
"Do you believe this will be over?" I asked unsure. She gave me a reassuring smile while rubbing my arms.
"I know it."
I sucked in a breath. "I can't trust anyone anymore." I stated, staring at the wall in front of me. "Kevin.." I started. "He's completely heartbroken." My mother put her lips in a line.
"Time will heal." She continued. "Just like me with your father."
I sucked in a sharp breath remembering my father that I never got to meet. "I don't understand why good people always leave at a young age." My voice cracked.
"I know." She inhaled sharply. "Kevin will heal in time. After all he has Gina by his side." She mentioned. We both smiled at each other.
"She likes him." I revealed. She nodded her head.
"I saw the way she looked at him downstairs with so much care and love." My mother added on. "They are a perfect match."
"Who is a perfect match?" A husky voice that sent me over the edge filled the room.
My mother and I looked over to see Toni walking in, his hands in his pockets. "Toni." My mother stood up, giving him a short hug.
"Welcome back." Toni said as soon as they pulled away.
"Thank you." She smiled. Toni looked over at me walking towards me placing a kiss into my cheek.
I smiled at him when he pulled away. "Are you Okay?" He asked. I nodded my head.
"Yes. My mother made me feel a lot better." My mom sent me a loving look. "But.." I started, Toni looked at me curiously. "Kevin isn't." I stated. Toni nodded sitting beside me while my mother sat on one of the chairs.
Toni licked his lips. "He will be fine. His mind is on his son and that all that matters." I placed my hand on my own stomach.
"Did you both get a check up when I was gone?" My mother asked with curious.
I nodded my head. "Yes. Our baby is healthy."
"Its twins." Toni said making me sigh and shake my head at his statement that caused my mother's eyes to grow big which lead her to believe it.
She squealed on excitement causing me to send Toni a look. "Is it really!?" She exclaimed. I sighed in annoyance.
"No mom. Toni just thinks we will have twins." She instantly stopped her excitement.
She sat there thinking a little. "Maybe his father instinct will come out true." She winked, I turned my head looking at Toni who was smirking at me knowingly.
"Dear God." I whispered, laying down on my back. Staring at the ceiling tiredly while listening to my mother and husband talking.
*****************
Toni had left once again in a rush after getting a call from drake which caused me to get worried but Travis reassured me it was nothing serious. Unless he was only saying that to calm me down.
My mother left before toni's call. Gina and Kevin were in his room with his son. Katherine is still blaming herself in her room while Anna is thinking of ways to kill Holly and Brianna.
"Maybe I should kill them in Russia. It's a foreign country! And as soon as I kill them I fly back to America. Simple." Travis and I both glanced at each other before looking at Anna with a puzzled look.
She looked back at us with a creepy grin. "What?"
"I think you're losing it." Travis stated. Anna rolled her eyes at the man next to her.
"Fine I'll at least hide the bodies." Travis sighed punching the bridge of his nose.
Shaking his head. "Dear God, you are losing it." He commented. I bit my thumb staring out the window.
"Where is Jennifer and Jordan?" I questioned cutting their weird conversation off.
"Company." Travis answered.
I nodded my head, resting it against the arm rest. I jumped when the living room don't barged open revealing Kevin, Toni and drake with serious looks on their faces and it started to scare me.
The three of us looked at them confused. Toni cupped his mouth pacing back and forth when entered the living room with an angry look on his face.
Kevin and drake quietly sat down. I don't up walking toward Toni. "What's wrong?" I asked glancing at the two seated before looking at my husband.
"It fucked up." Toni whispered.
"What?" I asked.
"It fucked up!" He repeated louder kicking the chair causing me to flinch back. "Shit." He hissed in anger.
"What are you taking about?" Travis asked this time.
"Holly is close. She has people helping her, she knows ever little of our plan and is planning on fleeing the country and coming back in the future." My eyes widen. He froze when he saw my expression, walking closer towards me cupping my face. "I won't let her near you." He reassured, smashing his lips into mine. "I love you."
He wrapped his arms around causing me to place my head against his chest while staring at the wall with no expression.
I had fear running through my veins. All over my body, fear that she'd get me. Just like Sara and Serena.
