Jake


Lyla

Lyla nodded some and looked up at her Dad, "Did they finish the big cat house yet? When Mom took us last time they hadn't finished it and we couldn't see the lions or the tigers." She told him frowning a little, "Daddy... Is your security men gonna be with us again today?" She asked him. Every time they went out in public they were joined by Tom's security team and sometimes she wished they could have a normal life with it.

Carmen smiled at her a little as she got in the car, "Did he give you a budget?" She asked her as she pulled away from the drive and onto the road, "Just so I don't get my throat cut when I send him the invoice." She laughed some. She was in a much better mood overall now that her babies were home as was always the case

Lilith nodded some as they drove "He said nothing more than two grand." She said quietly hugging herself some terrified of seeing her father tomorrow and it was all she could think about.

Tom frowned softly and nodded some "Only your uncle Jon." He said giving her a small smile kissing the top of her head "And I heard they did finish the big cat house." He said

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded a little, "Alright... I can wiggle that a little." She smiled at her, "Relax... Whatever is going through your mind about whatever, forget it right now, enjoy today." She told her as she started to leave the city.

Lyla nodded and finished her cereal then ran upstairs to get dressed, passing her brother on the way there as he was coming downstairs with his headphones on and going to get some juice from the fridge, already in a grumpy teenager mood for the day

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith gave a small and smiled softly "Alright." She said softly taking a deep breath and trying to relax some "So how did you meet Tom?" She asked softly

Tom waved at his son as he came down "You better eat something mkre than juice." He said chuckling some at his groan

 

[decadent-rider]

"Not hungry." He muttered to him and went to grab his nintendo switch to have in the car, shaking his head some, "Do we really have to go to the zoo?" He grunted at him

She smiled a bit and shook her head, "We were just kids, went to school together, I grew up mafia but not New York." She muttered, "Italian as in back home in Italy." She smirked a bit, "But I was sent to school here and when we were older things got more serious.... We were married at 18." She explained, "Had our son the following year." She got onto the freeway then, turning the music on a little.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith nodded some and gave a heavy sigh "How do you make it all work? I think Aleister hates me." She explained taking a deep breath "I....I tried to get him to sleep with me but he won't." She said taking another shaky breath before she let a few tears fall

Tom rolled his eyes at his attitude and shook his head some "Where would you like to go? Think of something and we'll go after the zoo." He said before getting his shoes on and calling for Lyla

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head some. “You’re crazy if you think he’s gonna sleep with you when he barely knows you. I mean come on especially after what your family did to him... I’m a little surprised he’s letting you live with him no offence.” She told him.

she came back downstairs and followed her dad to the car, getting in the back with him while their driver started the journey. “Daddy how come mommy isn’t coming with us?”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith nodded and took a deep breath "You're right.." she whispered getting out of the car as they got to the store "So Aleister said I needed to wear green." She said

Tom looked at her giving a smile "She had some work to do today. She is helping Uncle Aleister's new wife." He explained

 

[decadent-rider]

Lyla nodded some and hugged him the whole car ride there.

carmen sighed and ran a hand through her hair. “Did he give you a reason?” She muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith shook her head some "I think he is wearing green." She said with a small shrug. As the day went on she finally found a dress and made her way back to Aleister's gasping as she saw her father's car parked out front

Tom made it home with ghe kids after a day out texting Carmen to hurry home so they could have family movie and dinner night.

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned watching her get out and sighed a little seeing how hesitant she was to go in, texting Aleister to let him know how the day had gone then headed home and smiled seeing Tom stood by their front door and got out the car, walking over to him and slipped her arms around him, "Hey... Good day with them?" She asked him quietly.

Aleister frowned as he got the message, looking over to Tony while they sat at a late lunch together, showing him the message then leaned back and sighed heavily, "I need to go home. What the hell does he think he's doing at my house?!" He snapped

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith rushed out trying to figure out why he father was there "You aren't supposed to be here! We are supposed to meet tomorrow!" She said to him gasping as he pushed her into the car and sped off "What the hell?!"

Tony sighed giving a nod "This deal was for him to stay away from you." He muttered before letting him go.

Tom held her close kissing her gently "Mhmm, Jake took a bit to warm up but he did eventually. He gets pick for dinner and movie." He explained giving a small smile "Dress shopping go well?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and pulled her bags out of the trunk before going in. “I got a gorgeous purple thing for the gala, oh and I got the kids a couple bits each.... I’m gonna go talk to Jake.” She told him and thanked him for taking her bags up to their room before heading up to see Jake, sitting next to him and rubbed his back. “Hey sweetheart, how you doing?” She asked him, smiling a bit. “You have a good day?”

aleister got home and frowned when he was told that Lilith has dropped her bags off but left again with someone andhe just shook his head andwent inside the house, running a hand over his hair.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Jake gave a small smile at her and nodded "Yeah I guess so, the zoo wasn't too bad. Dad says I get to choose the movie and dinner. You think we could get some of that stuff you always like to get but dad hates?" He asked giving her a cheeky smile

Lilith came back a few hours later and quickly rushed to her room to clean herself up not wanting Aleister to see her ripped clothes and beaten body.

 

[decadent-rider]

She smiled and kissed his head. “Sounds perfect to me.” She told him and left him to it for now, going in to see Tom was on their bed in some sweats and nothing more, just wandering over and straddling his waist. “Our baby boy is a teenager now.” She mumbled, slipping her arms around him tightly.

aleister frownedas he heard her rush past,standing up from the couch and heading up to her room, banging on her door. “Lilith. We need to talk. Now.” He called to her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Tom let his hands slide to her hips and gave a small nod "Yeah he is, and our daughter isnt too far from it." He said softly biting his lips some "What do think about trying again?" He asked quietly "Once I'm settled in? Find some place a bit closer to the kids?"

Lilith jumped when she heard the banging on the door and quickly threw on some sweats and a sweater cracking the door open to barely show herself "I um...Can we please talk in the morning?" She asked very softly unable to even meet his eyes

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen looked at him and smiled a bit. “You really think so? That’s a promise this time?” She asked and held onto him tighter. “What happened today that he’s so grumpy now though?” She asked him quietly.

“No.” He muttered and made her open the door properly. “The biggest rule out in place is that your father never stepsfoot near this goddamn house! You understand me?! I don’t care what kinda family shit you were dealing with but none of them are to ever come here again?! Do I make myself clear?!”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Tom sighed some and gave a small nod "I promise and he is mad because I took his games away for being a smart ass and talking back to me at the zoo." He muttered

Lilith let out a loud whimper as she fell to the floor when he pushed the door open. She gave a small nod and did her best to get herself up but she was having alot of trouble with it "Understood.."

 

[decadent-rider]

“Do you really not know why this happened? Why we had to get married?!” He spat at her still filled with anger so not noticing her bruised yet.

carmen sighed a bit shaking her head. “He’s really picking up an attitude. But jokes on you cause we’re getting Asian fusion food tonight.” She grinned and pecked his cheek, going downstairs to start getting the kids down to order dinner.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith nodded slowly and pulled herself up using the bed starting to feel her body shake with fear still on edge from her father "I....I know." She whimpered

Tom nodded giving a small sigh "Yeah he is, oh man really? Ugh I'll make some cereal." He murmured shaking his head a bit

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen smiled and leaned back against him while the kids finally came down and she got their orders in, giving the information to one of the security guys to go pick it up for them.

aleister glared at her. “Your father has my family slaughtered! Do you know what it’s like to come home and find your wife and five year old daughter both shot in the head?! All of my staff too!” He snapped at her. “So this is your one warning. You let him come here again and you’ll wish you’d never met me.” He growled at her

 

[Forever6A7X]

Tom sat with them the entire night and when the movie was finally over he went to bed with Carmen pulling her in close to him "I love you babe, more than anything."

Lilith nodded letting a single tear fall "I....I didn't know he was here...I'm sorry, we were supposed to meet at a public place.." she said trying to explain to him what happened

 

[decadent-rider]

She smiled and curled in close to him, resting her head on his shoulder. “I love you too handsome... get some sleep. You deserve to get as much as you can.” She murmured to him happily. Once he took over next month things were going to change she knew it so she was holding onto her normal now for as long as possible.

aleister glared at her then stormed off to go to his room and got ready for bed. He had been so furious he’d not noticed how she was at all, going to bed and falling asleep after a long while

 

[Forever6A7X]

Tom woke up in the morning and groaned hearing Lyla yellinh at her brother to get out of the bathroom "Too early..." he muttered to Carmen as he pulled her close.

Lilith woke up in the morning sore and exhausted. She had barely been able to sleep and she was hoping a hot morning shower could relax her.

 

[decadent-rider]

She grumbled a bit and curled in close to him, "They'll deal with it." She mumbled and buried her face into his chest, falling back to sleep until their door slammed open and Lyla stormed inside, 'Dad! Jake just stole all my shampoo and shower stuff! He forgot to beign his home but he just took mine!" She yelled

Aleister was already up and down in the basement in his home gym, trying to get a quick morning workout in before having to go see Tom about new positions, he was still fuming about last night
