CHAPTER 71

The months passed and the birth of the twins was approaching, Mark was very excited, even though nothing was known about Luiggi's escape, he gave no sign of life.

Amanda and Oliver were always guarded by the Lombardi patriarch's guards, the others were planning a babyshower for Jenna, the women were preparing the surprise, Marck was informed that it was only for women because he wanted to be involved in the party and even his friends intervened so that he would stop being so overprotective.

The party arrived at the Black's mansion, by then Dereck was reluctantly taken out of there because Clara warned him that men were not allowed at home, all the men went to a Night Club.

The party was in full swing, chocolate bottles, cakes in the shape of hearts, bibs, everything was laughter among them when they rang the doorbell, when opening a guard informed of the arrival of a package for the honoree, it was received immediately, they all began to make him open it to see its contents and to know who was the sender, they shouted in chorus.

"Let her open it, let her open it".

Jenna, very amused, untied the ribbon that wrapped it, jumped a card but put it aside to check what was in the box, when the lid came off she could see some beautiful baby suits, there was everything for boys, because everything was double, two of everything, they all praised the good taste but Jenna missed that because nobody knew they were boys, only her and Mark, they decided to give the surprise when they were born, but the intrigue got the card and before reading it they shouted happily.

"Let her read it, we all want to know, read it Jenna".

She just smiled at the cheekiness of the curious, so she began to read.

'Hello, my adored child, although I am not present I still love you my little princess, I send you this gift with all my love, with the hope that someday I will know you personally, besides I know that you are little boys, I have my contacts, I did not have more children and I did not see you grow up so I would like to see my grandchildren grow up, I love you Jenna.

Love from your father.

Luiggi'.

They were all shocked, Jenna went out and called the guard to tell him who left that package, but he answered that it was a messenger, she went back inside worried when Clara spoke.

"My girl don't worry he would never hurt you he is your father, even though he is a wicked man he loves you, we better keep celebrating".

That calmed Jenna who continued with the party, until it came to an end, they all said goodbye happy to participate in this great party, Carla and Juliet went to fix the kitchen since there were no servants since they had been given free.

Jenna remained seated in the living room checking the other gifts, she put them one next to the other, at the end she took the box sent by Luiggi, she took one of the little suits and inhaled its aroma of baby cologne, she was smiling when she heard a whisper close to her ear.

"Did you like my gift my daughter?

When she heard that familiar voice, she was startled, standing up from where she was sitting and turning her eyes to see her father, her real father, standing there smiling, she wondered how he could have evaded the surveillance of the guards? But he just spoke.

"You are beautiful you look so much like your mother, even decent, innocent, you inherited her beauty, I couldn't be without seeing you again Jenna, you are my daughter and... I know I behaved badly, but forgive me for all the bad things I have done to you."

Jenna just watched him he looked calm he didn't look like a bully or a criminal, but she knew the reality was different, but she inhaled air and answered.

"I forgave you dad, you were with hate in your heart, but now you broke out of jail they must be looking for you, plus you threatened Amanda and Oliver."

Luiggi's countenance transformed to an angry one because he replied.

"I still love my wife and he... he took her away from me he took advantage of me being in that bad situation and she... stopped loving me, it's not fair."

Jenna approached him placing her delicate hand on Luiggi's face asking tenderly.

"Dad leave your hate behind please, they love each other and you lost Amanda when she found out everything you were doing behind her back, you can look for another woman to love and be happy, if you want I can help you to go to another country and live well over there, you are good for business, you would make a fortune in a short time".

Just as Luiggi was opening his mouth to answer her when the door opened abruptly and all the men came out, including the Lombardi patriarch who was impressed when he saw her because he had never imagined that she was so capable of approaching his great-granddaughter.

"Luiggi was watching them all when Marck shouted angrily."

'Get away from my wife, don't touch her!'

Then Bronson and one other man were seen pointing at Clara and Juliet's heads with a hard stare and Luiggi just spoke.

"If anyone moves or follows me they will kill them, so I'm leaving, goodbye daughter" he came close to her ear whispering. "I would never hurt those who love you, never that".

Then the two men left with the women, while Luiggi stared into his grandfather's eyes.

"Watch your back Lombardi and you too Oliver, because I'm going to get it, I didn't escape for nothing, I'm going to get revenge!"

Jenna only listened to him with tears in her eyes when Luiggi with a finger wiped them away saying.

"Forgive me daughter, but I can't stay without doing anything, goodbye."

He started to walk slowly towards the back exit when Jenna pleaded with him.

"Don't hurt my grandpa daddy, I love him very much and... and if you want to meet your grandchildren that is the condition I impose on you, my grandpa's life."

Luiggi when he heard her paled as he was excited to meet his grandchildren so he spoke pointing to Antonni.

"Because of her, just because my daughter asks me not to touch you, because of you terrible things happened to me in there, you left me alone, you even took Carlo away from me and I can't forgive you for that".

He turned around and ran away followed by everyone to Marck's shouts.

"Wait Luiggi, listen to me Luiggi!".

But when they came out the two matriarchs were standing at the back door and a speeding car screeching tires were driving away from the scene, everyone watched as it disappeared from the scene and Marck hugged his mother and Marcus hugged his wife.

When they looked around they saw three bodies lying on the ground, they were the guards who were caught by surprise, there were always many of them, but that night only the three of them, they never imagined that something like this would happen.

Jenna was sitting with her great-grandfather hugging him saying.

"Grandpa don't worry I think my dad is going to keep his word not to hurt you."

Antonni watched her laughing and commented.

"My child I know how to take care of myself only what worries me is Oliver and Amanda you heard him threaten them, but I wonder how he knew just today there wouldn't be enough guards?"

Mack approached his wife hugging her and asking.

"Do you think Luiggi will do what you asked him to do?"

Jenna kissed him subtly and answered.

"I'm sure he will, but Amanda and Oliver if they are in danger, my father is full of hate for no reason, but he doesn't understand."

Antonni approached saying.

"Don't be afraid Luiggi knows what I am capable of, he is not going near Amanda or Oliver."

Oliver was sitting in the living room when he remembered Amanda was home alone, he picked up the cell phone he called her, but she didn't answer, he was getting very nervous on the third call he heard her sweet voice.

"Hello, love."

"Hi sweetie are you okay?"

"Yes, why are you asking me?"

"Luiggi was here."

"What? My God did he do something wrong?"

"Not only did he come to see Jenna, but he threatened me and he threatened his grandfather. He's full of hate, but Jenna. He asked her not to do anything against her grandfather, he promised her, but I'm not sure he'll follow through."

Suddenly there were noises and Amanda lowered her voice to a whisper.

Oliver something happens the guards are shouting outside.

They seem to be arguing with someone please come.

Hide in the basement behind the wine rack there is a black button press it.

And go through that door and run.

Amanda left the call open and ran to the basement, found the button, pressed it and went inside to hide.

My God it's Luiggi calling me, he says he knows I'm here, I'm scared love.

Luiggi's screaming voice could be heard faintly, he cursed and called her threateningly, inside Oliver was thankful he had listened to Marck's request to build a hidden bunker for their protection and now he was saving his wife's life, he spoke to everyone.

"Luiggi is at our house looking for Amanda, she is hiding in the bunker, but we must go help her come on."

They all went in the cars to the mansion, when they were arriving they saw two black cars leave slowly and go, they went to look for Amanda in the basement, Oliver pressed the button and the door opened, she was scared and at the same time relieved receiving her husband with a big kiss and spoke.

"My love Luiggi was here in the basement, but he came back upstairs, I was silent."

Oliver commented.

"The guards are drugged they have shot darts at them and put them to sleep, the same as back there at Dereck's."

No one had noticed that a paper was waiting to be read, it was on the center table in the living room, as they all went upstairs and sat down to talk Oliver saw that paper there he picked it up and his face paled then Amanda took it and began to read.

"Amanda my love I miss you, I came looking for you, but I didn't find you, I took advantage of the fact that I thought you were alone because your sweetheart was somewhere else, I just want to tell you that you are still mine, I love you, I will wait for the right moment to talk to you I don't want to use violence, you will always be in my mind, in my skin and in my soul, according to your answer will be the destiny of him, I just warn you that I will have no mercy".

Your adored husband Luiggi".

Mark spoke angrily.

"But what a man who does not understand that you no longer love him, that he is no longer your husband, is he crazy? What I don't like is that he has those men to help him, he is not alone".

They stayed talking about everything that had happened until late at night and then they decided to go home. Antonni ordered more guards to guard Amanda's house in strategic places where they could not see where the guards were and they would not be caught unawares.

Jenna entered her house and went to her room, she sat on the bed because her belly was already very heavy and heavy, plus everything that had happened had her stressed, Mark came in and sat next to her saying.

"Are you all right my love, you look tired".

"I'm just afraid that my father will do something that he might regret later" Jenna commented sadly.

Mark hugged her trying to reassure her while he caressed her belly, went downstairs to bring her a tisane of linden tea for her nerves, then she lay down while he gently undressed her so she could sleep later.

When the sun's rays hit the bed he woke them both up, they looked at each other and kissed.

"Good morning princess."

"Good morning my love."

But that peaceful atmosphere ended when Jenna complained loudly of a stabbing pain in her belly saying.

"Ow it hurts I think it's... a contraction, I think... the babies are coming".

She didn't finish speaking when she felt her legs get wet and she spoke shakily.

"Marck my water broke, let's go to the clinic."

Marck was a bundle of nerves, while preparing the suitcase with all the trousseau, he called his family with the good news, the guards seeing them in a hurry, one of the guards asked him to drive because he was very nervous and could cause an accident.

They promptly arrived at the clinic, which was already waiting for his arrival because they had been previously notified, they were waiting with a stretcher, they took it quickly and Mark stayed in the waiting room.

After a few moments the others began to arrive to accompany him and wait for the good news of the birth of the babies that everyone was anxious to meet.

The doctor came out and informed Marck that they had to do a cesarean section because the exit was very narrow and there could be difficulties, but he had to sign a permission slip to do it as her husband.

Marck read all the contents and signed it, the doctor left and everyone waiting outside, after an hour baby cries were heard Marck got up like a spring of happiness shouting.

"My children are born, hahaha I'm a father".

A nurse told him he could come in to see his wife, he ran to see her, when he entered he saw her calm, but she was sleepy, he grabbed both her hands to kiss them and said.

"Thank you love for giving me this blessing of having our children".

Jenna smiled at him saying.

"Thanks to you my love, we are now parents of twins, I love you."

"I love you too my princess, I already want to hold them in my arms to kiss them, hug them, love them" he said it with great joy to which she spoke very slowly.

-I don't know what's wrong with me, I see... blurry, Marck... Marck... Marck.

He was alarmed to hear her stammering and losing consciousness he cried out.

"Doctor help please come."

The nurse who at that precise moment was carrying the twins stood in the doorway giving way to the doctor who arrived next to Jenna, took her pulse, her face became somber, asked Marck to leave and the nurse was ordered to leave, other doctors came in and stayed with Jenna.

Outside Marck was pacing back and forth in anguish when he heard the alarmed voices of the doctors.

"Quick defibrillator away, 1-2-3 zaz".

And Jenna's body jumped upward reacting to the electric shock of the heart paddles, two more times and nothing the non-stop beeping denounced death, but the doctor was sure he would succeed, two more times and he managed to hear the choppy beep that his patient's heart was beating again.

When Mark saw the doctor leave, he approached him in a hurry to find out his wife's medical condition and received a reply.

"She had a heart attack, but we managed to restore her, we must wait for her to wake up, she is now stable".

Marck went inside to see her sleeping there very calm, he kissed her forehead, took one of her hands to kiss her, he stayed there taking care of her, since the nurse informed him that the twins were fed by another woman who gave birth and they are asleep.

Two days passed and Jenna did not wake up, the doctor informed Mark that she was in coma but it was due to the lack of oxygen for those minutes of cardiac arrest, he wanted her to wake up to meet her children, to see her smile.

The others came and went to accompany them, everyone waited patiently for Jenna to wake up.

Luiggi was seen after his escape from prison, he still wants to be someone in the life of his ex-wife, he threatened Oliver and now on the best day of the birth of their children Mark has the misfortune to suffer again because his wife is in a coma for the heart attack she had after childbirth, they only hope she wakes up to be very happy again, but it seems untrue just someone will arrive and will be the cause of a great joy.
