2 Months LaterBasil"Tell me where she is!" I grab the plier and pull his fingernail off. For every minute he doesn't answer I pull a nail off, now he only has fingernails left on one hand. Once they're all gone I'll get started on his teeth."I don't know, I promise." He begged. I pull the nail from his thumb, he shrieks like a girl."Wait, wait. Rosalie... Rosalie knows. That night at the gathering of the families I saw her talking to Timothy, I heard her mention your wife's name." I set the pliers down, finally after torturing eleven people I'm getting closer."Andre, call Rosalie and tell her I want to see her. When she comes bring her down here." "Yes, afentikó." Andre said."Leander, get rid of him." "No! Wait! I told you what you wanted to know." He screamed."It doesn't matter, you were part of the people that took my wife." Taking out my gun I put a bullet in his head, his body slumping over. His eyes gaze into nothing. Leander takes the body a
BasilI help Layla into the tub filled with warm water. Grabbing a sponge I soak it in water and begin to clean her body. I clean the grime from her, I clean the dirt from her hair until the water is so dirty you can't see through it. Unplugging the drain, two months worth of filth goes down the drain. I wrap her in a towel and sit her on the bed, getting a comb I start to take out the tangles in her hair. Letting the towel fall I observe her back, scars mar her body, some fresh and some are raised not healing properly. Reaching under the bed I retrieve the first aid kit, I cover her wounds in ointment and patch them up with bandages. Getting one of my shirts from my closet I slide it over her frame. Tucking her into her spot on the bed, I rub her small bump. She closes her eyes and falls asleep, before leaving I place a kiss on her forehead.Walking downstairs I spot Andre and Niko."Where's Timothy?" I asked."He's in the basement." I walk down to the basement, the stench of blood i
BasilA month has passed since I've rescued Layla. She is slowly getting better. The first week was rough, she would wake up in the middle of the night screaming. The only thing that calmed her down was when I caressed her belly and hummed a nursery rhyme that mamá used to sing to me when I was little. The second week I started noticing changes, she would move here and there instead of staying still like she used to. One time I caught her rubbing her stomach with a small smile on her face. She still hasn't spoken yet.I still feed her by hand three times a day and I give her baths daily. Sometimes I would catch her staring at me. I'm hoping that she's starting to break free from whatever is holding her back."Basil?" It's such a low whisper my ears strain to hear it. Running into the bedroom I find Layla sitting up in bed."Layla?" She bursts into tears. I embrace her, she wraps her arms around me."Oh Basil, it was horrible so horrible." Her voice is hoarse from disuse. We fall apart
Basil"Mamá please don't overwhelm her,she's been through a lot." Mamá and Thalia wanted to see Layla. After not hearing from me for a couple of weeks they showed up out of the blue. I quickly explained to them what has happened and why I haven't been in contact."Yiós(son), this world we live in is harsh. It's not flowers and rainbows. It's death, blood and killing. You're wife was made for this world she's strong and smart. Don't treat her like a child, treat her as your queen. Handling her with kid gloves will only suffocate her until she lashes out. You're wondering how I know this? Because you're father treated me the same, always treating me as if I was fragile glass until I tore into him." She's right, I know that Layla's strong but I'm worried about her. I don't want anything to trigger her."Thank you mamá." She walks inside, Thalia comes out the driver seat. My eye catches on the shiny stone on her ring finger. I arch my brow questionably."Oh this, Dante proposed to me last
Layla"Mr. Drakos, it's good to see you." I greet Basil's father as he comes in, Helios and Perseus trails after him."Kóri (daughter), I insist you call me Bampás, we're family now." "Ok Bampás." I called him."How's marriage treating you? Getting tired of Basil yet? He is the most boring sibling. And you're pregnant?" Helios gestures to my stomach, chuckling I playfully slap his arm."Marriage is good, and you're brother is more than fine. And yes I'm pregnant, with twins if you'd like to know" I said."Shit.""Ignore him, he's just jealous that Basil got the whole package before him." Thalia says."I am not, I happen to enjoy my life not being tied down to one woman and having little rascals running around" He scoffed. Watching Perseus he's silent, just observing his surroundings. Everytime I see him he always has a permanent scowl on his face. He goes to the bar and pours himself a drink, brooding in silence. Thalia and Helios study their brother with sorrowful eyes."Six months
LaylaOne week, Basil has been home one week. I've babied him so much this past week. Bringing his meals in bed, showering him myself and making sure he doesn't move an inch from the bed.I'm changing his bandages right now, his wound already looking so much better. Hopefully soon his stitches can be taken out."Feggari mou, how long must I stay in bed?" He whined, since I've babied him so much he's now acting like a big baby."Until your stitches get removed." I said.His hands slide up my waist to the underside of my breast, teasing a nipple softly."Stop it Basil, you're still hurt." I warned him."But I want you." He continues teasing my nipple, the bud stiffening under his touch. I resist the urge to moan, being pregnant has made me horny."Ride me, I won't move. Ride me, seek your pleasure from my body." I contemplate his idea, the thought of riding him slickens my pussy with desire. "Ok, but no moving." I give in, and he smiles smugly. Tossing the sheets from his lower half h
BasilI'm supposed to be getting my stitches out today but I'm not going all the way to the hospital just to have a nurse take them out when I can do it myself. I actually called Andre because no matter how many times I've tried to take these stubborn shits out they won't come out. I'm relieved that Layla's not home, she wouldn't approve of what I'm doing. She's out with Thalia and mamá shopping for the babies."Oww." I winced, Andre pulls on a stitch too hard."Stop moving." He said. He's probably enjoying my torment, watching the big boss babble in pain."Are you almost done?" I asked through clenched teeth. Fuck, this shit hurts. I'm wondering if I should've just went to the hospital, they could've gave me something to numb the pain."There, all done." He finishes, yanking the last stitch out of my back."Gamísou (fuck you), I know you're enjoying this." I said, grimacing."Only a little, afentikó." He laughs. He has the audacity to laugh at me."Are they back yet?" I had Niko, Apo
LaylaWe're at our 28 weeks check up at Dr.Papadakis' office. We saw no point in her coming to our home anymore so now we're here."Do you think anything is wrong with the twins?" I've been paranoid the last few days that something might be wrong with them."Don't worry feggari mou, they're fine." He massaged my shoulders, relieving the tension.A knock sounds on the door opening up to reveal Dr.Papadakis."Hey mom and dad, let's get started on today's visit." She said."Any concerns or questions?" "No, nothing so far, only the normal stuff that everyone goes through. Swollen feet, aching back, tender breasts and my cravings have been out of control." I told her."That's normal, given how far along you are. Are you ready to see your babies?" She asked."Yes." We both say at the same time. She turns on the screen and having been through this before I lift my shirt up ready for the cool gel. Using the wand to spread it around I instantly see our babies on the screen, Basil's hand is cl
