“Enough, mother, leave my room now!” he said, and she was in shock and disbelief, but soon she realised he was serious and stood up. She looked at me scornfully and then looked at Darius.
“She is desperate, Darius, making her a dangerous woman. You need to be there when she was talking about Abelardo,” She said, referring to me.
“I hope you know what you are doing, son. Abelardo is the only family you have. He is your only sibling. Just like she left her husband, she can leave you, move on and won’t have anything to do with you, but Abelardo and I will always be your family. I know you haven’t felt this way about anyone since Shanon left, but do not let your feelings blind and control you, Darius…” she said, and he shut her up.
“Get out,” he yelled at her, enraged.
“Sometimes I question if you are my mother,” he confessed.
“You let him disrespect me and work against me, and then you expect me to be understanding and forgiving towards him, but you are quick to point fingers whenever he is hurting. I do not care if he is your favourite, but if I find out he is guilty, I will have him tried and executed for treason,” Darius said finally, and Nellie and I both gasped.
She hurried out of the room while I remained. She had messed

up Darius’s mood and left me to deal with it. I did not know how he would react, but I braced myself for it.
“Did you order her to keep him at home for my sake?” he asked me with a low voice, and I knew there was no use lying.
“I meant well, Darius,” I tried to explain, but before I could say anything, he crashed his lips on mine and pulled me close to his body.
His kiss was fierce and demanding, and I let him take me.
I knew he needed the tranquillity that love brings, and I was willing to give it. I needed it, too
Nellie had come to stir up shit, and I hoped she calmed down
soon and came to her sense.
Darius tore my clothes and my underwear. I did the same to him. He hoisted me up with my back against the wall and rammed himself into me. He was growling and pumping viciously. The pleasure he gave coursed through my veins, taking away the anger, fear, anxiety and pain Nellie had brought and replacing it with pure love and a need for the release he offered. I held on tightly, digging my claws into his kin, and Monica growled and moaned simultaneously.
I wished he would sink his teeth into my flesh at that moment and claim me.
I wanted to be his forever and prove Nellie was wrong.
He did not just have them, he had me, too, and the children we would have in future… He had my love, heart and my life, and I know it was enough, just as he was enough for me.

I came viciously, and he pumped through it, forcing my orgasm to linger. And soon, he came and gently let me down. With my back against the wall, he placed his forehead against mine.
“Thank you for forcing her hand, Zora. Everything she said shows how far you are willing to go for my sake, something even she has been incapable of doing. I am not mad at you, my love; I am surprised and grateful,” he said, and tears began to roll down my cheek, and I held on to him. I was relieved.
“Darius, I was scared you were mad at me,” I confessed, and he wrapped his arms around me and let me cry my tears of relief.
He led me to the bed and made me lie down.
“Before we got home, I knew something was troubling you. Do you mind sharing?” he asked, sitting on the bed by my side. I realised he would be stepping out soon.
I nodded and sat up.
“Something didn’t sit well with me about how easy it was to catch Abelardo. He might be stupid, but I doubt he is that stupid,” I said, and he frowned at me.
“What are you implying?” He asked, and I sighed.
“We still need to trace the paper trail for the first order. The one that was done without mistake, the one that you couldn’t find out about until the deed was done.” I said, and he stroked my hair.
“Larry must have done it and framed Abelardo for it,” he said, and I shook my head.
