《Forced To Marry Mr.CEO》Chapter 41

I had my head in my hands as my mother rubbed my back comfortingly, Drake continued to yell at the other person on the other line as he paced back and forth not making me feel any better. Toni, his brothers, and Jordan left the room. Jennifer and the others surrounded me making me feel suffocated but I held it inside of me, slipping into my mother's comfort.
Katherine groaned throwing her head back in annoyance. "I don't understand that psycho bitch!"
Jennifer shot Katherine a disapproving glare. "Katherine." She warned, causing Katherine to cross her arms and sit back down onto her previous chair.
Gina looked at me with sympathy reaching over and grabbing my hand. "Hey," She began, causing me to look over at her. "Calm down or something will happen to the baby." I looked down at my swollen stomach placing my free hand onto it.
I nodded my head, Anna huffed walking over towards Drake with a glare. "Well...What happened?" Anna questioned him angrily. He looked at her with a pale look, making me feel worse. "Why are you staring at me like i'm a fucking ghost?" Jennifer sighed at their curse words, picking her grandchild up in her arms.
"Holly.." Drake started, glancing over at me. "She has escaped." I froze, my lips slightly fell open as I stared at him with wide eyes.
She escaped? That means she's going to come and take my child away from me. She won't stop until she gets revenge, we aren't safe. None of us are. "Layla." I felt my mother's hand on my cheek.
Without saying anything I stood up from the sofa and walked out of the living room the same time as Toni entered the house with the look of kill and anger. I rushed towards him with tears spilling out of my eyes, he instantly embraced me into a hug.
"She escaped." I cried into his shoulder, he wrapped his arms tighter around me. "She's going to get to us. She'll get her revenge." I freaked out, shaking badly against his body.
Toni instantly let go of me and cupped my face. "Shh." He wiped my tears but they were replaced with fresh new tears. "There is no way she'll reach you." He reassured, but it didn't calm me down.
I shook my head. "But she can. She will. You don't understand, Ton-" Toni cut me off before I could say anything else.
"No. She won't." He snapped, looking down at me. "There is no way she can get passed me. I'd rather fucking die than have her fucking touch you." My eyes widen at his words.
I grabbed onto his wrists. "Don't say that." My voice was completely broken.
He placed his forehead against mine. "I'm saying what's true."
"Don't..." I started, looking into his blue eyes. "I don't want to hear the truth. I wouldn't be able to live a day without you." He leaned down pecking my lips, before pulling me into his arms once again.
I buried my face into the crook of his neck, nuzzling into it. "Everything is going to be okay. We've found her once, we'll find her again." He promised, kissing my forehead.
I believe him. I trust him. But I was still scared for me, my twins, and husband.
It was the next morning, everyone went home and surprisingly I slept last night in Toni's arm trying not to think of the situation. I opened the drawer, placing the curling Iron back into it's spot before grabbing my makeup bag and zipping it up.

I stepped back spraying perfume onto my skin, placing the cap back on and walking out of the bathroom shutting the door behind me. I smiled feeling my babies kick as I placed my hand onto my stomach with a grin on my lips as I walked out of the bedroom, my smile soon faded when the thought of Holly came to my mind.
Shaking my head, sucking in a huge amount of breath before climbing down the stairs. My feet took me where Toni and Drake's voice was coming from which was in Toni's study room, opening the door to see the two discussing the Holly situation but as soon as they saw me they fell into silence.
Obviously not wanting me to hear the bad news of them not finding any trace of her. "Finally dressed?" Toni chuckled, motioning me to go over to him.
I nodded, quietly walking towards him as he pulled me onto his lap kissing my temple. "So...You're not getting rid of Paul, anymore?" Drake asked, with a smirk on his lip as he leaned back.
I looked over at Toni confused, why isn't he getting rid of him? I thought he was going to because of his jealousy? He glanced at me before shooting Drake daggers. "I think it's best if we have more guards." He shot back, if looks could kill...
I placed my head against his shoulder, cuddling into his arm further. "Mr.Mahfud?" A voice that belonged to none other than Paul filled the room causing Drake to smirk and Toni to clench his jaw in annoyance.
"Come in." He called, causing the door to push opened revealing Paul.
Instantly his eyes fell on me causing him to shoot me a bright smile. "Good morning, Mrs.Mahfud." He greeted kindly, I sent him a smile back but gasping in surprise when Toni squeezed my bottom.
I looked over at him to see him shooting me a warning and jealousy look. "What do you need Paul?" He asked, completely rude.
He cleared his throat looking back at my husband who was burning from jealousy and anger. He was slowly becoming the green eyed monster. "Someone by the name of Brianna sent this." He revealed as soon as Kevin entered the room.
Kevin tensed at the name looking down at the envelope in the guard's hand, without hesitation Kevin took it from him as Gina from behind him stared with curiosity. "You may go." Toni told Paul, he nodded flashing me one last smile as he left the room, shutting the door behind him. "Open it." Toni demanded.
Kevin sucked in a breath ripping the envelope open before hesitantly taking the letter out, he walked over to the chair in front of us sitting right next to Drake who sat up straighter. Gina rocked Kenny back and forth as small cries escaped the boy's lips.
Kevin looked down at the paper he opened, the more he read it the more he clutched onto the paper harder and the look of anger was written all over his face. "What's written in it?" Gina asked, softly.
Kevin looked up from the paper and at her. "She wants Toni to lie to me and tell me that Brianna is innocent and if he does she'd tell him where Holly is hiding." He spat out in disgust. I stood up from Toni's lap and breathed in, walking towards the window.

"That's all that was written into it?" Toni asked, standing up from the seat walking towards Kevin.
Kevin looked hesitant, glancing over at Gina who stared at him with a puzzled look. "She confessed that she actually loved me and she didn't realize it until now." He revealed, my eyebrows shot up in surprise.
After everything Brianna has done, she has grown to love Kevin when she was getting revenge. Gina shuffled around, before walking out of the room without saying a word. "Gina!" Kevin called out, he went to follow her but I grabbed his arm stopping him.
"I'll talk to her." I muttered, walking out of the room and walked to the kitchen where Gina was looking out the window holding Kenny in her arms. "Gina." She turned around revealing the tears formed into her eyes.
"I've loved him for years now." She confessed, causing a crack in my heart. "I've loved him for so long but he doesn't love me. He loves her and only her." Her voice broke, burying her head into her son's neck.
"Gina." I walked up to her placing my hand on her shoulder. "Kevin-" She cut me off.
"We were together when I was a maid back at the mansion. But suddenly everything changed and he thought I cheated on him. I never did I was loyal to him." I felt tears in my own eyes as my heart stung for this woman in front of me. "I was going to tell him I love him but before I could he started accusations that I cheated on him."
"Come. Let's sit down." I said, before she could tell me more.
We walked towards the dining table, taking a seat. "He didn't let me speak and threw me out of the mansion. I left him alone and a month later. I found out I was pregnant, I had hidden it from him but Brianna found out and she told him that I was carrying his child. We had a huge fight over Kenny." My eyes fell on Kenny in his mother's lap.
I reached over taking him from her placing him into my own lap. "What happened after that?" I questioned, softly.
She sucked in a breath putting her hand into her hair. "We agreed to share him." She looked down at her son, as tears continued to fall down her flawless face. "But that didn't help my feelings for him. It's gotten worse and I don't know what to do. He's in love with Brianna." She cried, burying her face into her hands.
I reached over rubbing her arm. "Did you ever figure out why Kevin thought you were cheating?" I asked, causing her to look up at me. "I mean it doesn't make sense why would he think you are cheating on him without any proof." She furrowed her brows thinking over my words.
"I never thought of that." She wiped her tears. "That has never crossed my mind. Ever since Kenny I ended that subject"
I licked my lips, holding Kenny tighter in my arms. "Someone has accused you of something." I revealed, causing her to get lost in her thoughts
"Eliza. No, she wasn't there when we were together."
"Brianna?"
She froze staring at my face. "You're saying that Brianna had planned something that caused Kevin and I to break up." I slowly nodded my head, not wanting to point fingers but all the signs were for Brianna.
She wanted to get revenge but Kevin was with Gina so the only she could get with Kevin was by accusing Gina of cheating to get rid of her. This all makes sense now. I looked back up at Gina. "I think Brianna had planned the cheating accusations. In order to get her revenge she had to get rid of you to get with Kevin and continue her revenge." Gina looked at me cupping her mouth. "Does he still think you cheated?" I questioned, Gina slowly nodded.
"We haven't opened that subject but i'm sure he does." She quickly stood up off her feet. "I need to sort this out now." She rushed out of the kitchen. I sucked in a breath placing Kenny on my hip as I followed her back into Toni's study room.
Gina flung the door opened causing all three eyes on her. "We need to talk about what happened last year." Gina demanded, staring down at Kevin who looked at her with furrowed brows. "You accused me of cheating then left me without giving me a chance to prove my innocence." Toni's eyebrows shot up in surprise as Kevin looked up at her with a blank expression.
"Not now, Gina." He quickly stopped her but she shook her head.
"No!" She shouted, causing him to look up at her in shock. "You threw all these lying accusations at me. Then left me. You didn't give me a chance!" She fought, Kevin stood up placing his hand on her shoulder but she jerked back. "Stop it. I'm not closing this subject." She chuckled, shaking her head.
"Brianna told you I was cheating right!?" Kevin froze looking down at the blonde in front of him. "Right!?" She screamed, Drake awkwardly walked towards me taking Kenny from my arms and walking out of the room.
"Kevin. I think it's best if you fix this subject and give her a chance." Toni said, choosing her side. "Come, angel." He told Layla, taking her hand as they left the study room going into the living room where Drake was giving the two privacy.
Kevin looked down at Gina. "It was." He answered aggressively. "She said she caught you and this man-" He cut himself off, making a distaste face.
Gina shook her head in disbelief. "So you believed her words? Without any proof?" She spat in disgust.
Kevin rubbed his face. "She showed me fucking pictures!" He shouted, causing her to flinch back.
"If you still have those pictures then fucking show me!" She harshly pointed at herself.
Kevin glared down at the flawless woman in font of him, as he stepped forward. "So what!? Why are you opening this damn subject? To prove your guilt? To prove that you're not loyal?" Gina's hand raised within seconds and soon Kevin's head had spun to the left.
"I was nothing but loyal to you! You were my first and last. I've never been with a man when I was with you and when I wasn't. Brianna had planned all of this, whatever picture she showed you it wasn't me or it may have been photoshop because when I wasn't with you I was at that damn mansion doing maids work." Her voice broke completely, tears falling down her face.
Kevin looked down at her face, his face softening. "In order to get her revenge on Toni. She destroyed our relationship so she could be with you to continue her revenge further. Does that not make sense to you!?" He clenched his jaw.
Kevin thought about it realizing everything made sense. Within seconds after Gina was out of the picture Brianna started to get close to him but that was until Eliza came and Brianna was trying to get rid of her as well. "Gina..I.." He cut himself off, realizing his mistake.
He remembered the picture, it was of a woman's back, blonde hair. That was the only proof but he realized he was stupid to believe it, he believed it without it showing Gina's face. He loved Gina with passion but Brianna tried forcing his feelings away when occasionally he would think of Gina when he was with her.
"You realized your mistake? I loved you." She revealed, catching him off guard. Kevin's heart stopped at that moment. "I loved you so fucking much that time I was going to confess my love to you but you threw those accusations in my face." Tears slid down her face causing his heart to sting.
"Gina, i'm sorry." He apologized.
She chuckled sadly. "Well, sorry isn't going to fix what broke years ago." She spun on her heel and walked towards the door.
"Gina." She stopped before she could open the door. "I loved you too." His voice was completely broken as he stared at her back.
She had a huge lump in her throat, tears falling down her face without saying anything she walked out of the study room without sparing him another glance. Kevin sucked in a breath, slumping down on the chair putting his face into his hands.
That moment he knew he regretted believing Brianna in the first place.
I laid my head against Toni's shoulder, my heart continued to squeeze at the thought of Gina and Kevin. What they've been through is so heartbreaking to even think about. I lifted my head up as soon as I saw Gina rushing in with tears falling onto her face, sobs escaped her throat. I stood up and instantly she walked towards me letting me embrace her.
"Drake. Let's go." I heard Toni's voice from behind me as the two walked out leaving the two of us alone.
"He said he loved me." She cried in my shoulder.
"Shh." I rubbed her back gently, slowly pulling away from her. "Listen. You both were victims in this." I stated, she wiped her tears. "Both of you were played." She sucked in a breath slumping down on the sofa.
"If he loved me so much why did he believe her? Why didn't he give me a chance?" She asked, tears forming into her eyes.
I sat down right beside her. "You're right..." I started. "But he was blinded and fooled." She looked at me with agony. "He's hurt just like you. And i'm positive he regrets leaving you and not trusting you. I'm not telling you to forgive him instantly, take your time but you should forgive him." I told her my opinion.
I pushed a stray of hair behind my ear. "I'll think about it." I gave her a small smile, nodding my head.
"Kenny is upstairs in mine and Toni's room sleeping if you want to check up on him." I informed her, she sent me a sad smile standing up from her seat.
"Thank you for everything." I sent her a comforting smile, standing up.
"There is no need to thank me." She sent me a small smile, walking out of the living room.
I huffed, sitting down on the sofa holding onto my swollen belly. "Life is difficult, loves." I whispered, stroking my stomach gently. "But as long as i'm alive i'll make it easy for you two." I promised, my two children in my stomach.
I chuckled feeling a kick in response, looking up when Toni entered the room. He had a small smile playing on his lips, walking over to me. "They're kicking." I told him as soon as he sat beside me.
I grabbed his hand placing it over my stomach, Toni wrapped his free arm around me placing a kiss to my temple. He chuckled when another kick came, they were like soccer players. "They'd be great at soccer." Toni stated, making me let out a little laugh.
I couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Correct, babe." I laughed, leaning my head against his forehead. "I can't wait for them to come out into the world." I grinned looking down at my belly.
"Me too, angel." I cuddled further in his arm as he wrapped his second arm around me, pulling me closer to his body. "I'm sorry for bringing Holly into your life." He whispered against my hair. I looked up at him with furrowed brows. "I brought danger into your life." I sat up straighter looking into his eyes.
"You didn't bring danger into my life." I cupped his cheek. "You brought me love and happiness." I smiled at him having tears in my eyes. "I love you and i'm thankful everyday that you were brought into my life." Without saying anything, he leaned down capturing my lips into his.
"I love you too." He whispered leaning his forehead against mine. "The three of you."
