Eden’s Complex: Final Chapter (7)

The next morning Cody was quiet as he cooked breakfast, Lucas sat quiet while Kisara occasionally stared at me while standing next to Cody .Cody groaned as he wrapped his arms around Kisara. He whispered something in her ear, she let out a chuckle. He lifted up her shirt, Lucas then banged his hand on the table "Cody she isn't part of this relationship".

"Well then let her join", he glared at him.

"Look Cody, I know you're hurt but this isn't the way to go about this".

"Well it's the only way to make it up to me".

I looked at Lucas "I meant what I said, I'll join your relationship".

"Are you sure?", he asked.

"I am, I'll be okay".

"Will you be okay with Kisara?", he asked.

I gave him a face, "I'm okay with that". Even though I knew I wasn't.

"Come here Eden",he lightly pushed Kisara away.

"Yes?", he grabbed me by my waist and slid his tongue in my mouth.

"Kisara, come over here then", Lucas had commanded. He held her but he glanced at me the entire time "I want to share a kiss with Eden first!", she looked at me. Cody glared at her "Only for a few seconds". He pushed me away, I felt her lips on mine immediately. A bittersweet kiss, as I wanted to kiss her for a long time, but not like this. I pretended like nothing was wrong and I played along. The kisses became deep and more passionate, she tried lifting up my shirt but Cody pushed her away "I said only a few seconds, Kisara". Lucas stood up "That's enough of trying to prove a point… just… just talk to me Cody…please."

Kisara interrupted "This isn't what you promised me, you promised I'd get her unconditional love… her body… and-"

I gave her a nervous chuckle "I'm not in love with you, never was I in love with you… I'm in love with…someone else.

Kisara had a crazy look in her eyes, one of insanity and denial. I saw her do quick hand movements, I thought she was communicating with Cody but that turned out to be very wrong. There was a knife to my neck, a big butcher knife. "You let me take her… because if I can't have her no one else will ever have her".

They both yelled before I felt an abrasion on my neck and a loud bang. As soon as I realized what happened I screamed. Kisara had cut me while she had saw a gun being drawn and now her lifeless body was on the floor… in an instant. Cody held the gun tightly and never let go, he pointed the gun at Lucas "Both of you aren't allowed to leave. As much as I hate you right now Lucas, you are mine till death do us part, and as for Eden she's of age now so she'll helps us around the house".

"Stop… please baby stop!", Lucas yelled.

He fell on his knees crying. Cody looked at me "Go upstairs, I'll be there shortly."

——

I tried not to think about it too much, I didn't want to cry. I was in my bra and underwear, I just sat on the bed for a few hours. Lucas finally came into the room he looked distraught and he looked as if he had been crying a lot "Eden… I'm sorry I put you through this, this isn't the way I wanted this to happen".

I nodded "Is Cody going to come in here…?"

He wiped his tears "Yeah, he doesn't want me in here when he uh… does it with you, but I mean..

His voice cracked as he tried not to cry "I'm so sorry… he said everything would go back to normal after this… so I- I- caved in".

I stood up off the bed "It's okay, I'll always love you and only you".

He started to cry a bit more "I love y-

Cody came in the room with his shirt off, he gently pushed Lucas out the way "Eden, take everything off".

He closed the door shutting Lucas out, I listened to Cody. Cody leaned against the wall just staring at my body in silence. He then took off his underwear "I'll treat you just like I treat Lucas".

He flipped me over and in a second I gripped the sheets. He was bigger than Lucas, he let out a grunt as he put it in. I'm guessing he never felt a woman before, but his sex drive was high. I was in a doggy style position, he groped my breasts and groaned in my ear, he then put his hands around my neck . He then flipped me back over and put it back in, I was in a missionary position now. In the moment I signed "I love you so much", he looked at me intrigued. My moans were intensifying as he continued "You really learned sign language for me, how sweet… just for that I'll cum inside of you".

When he was done he lay on top of me he then pushed himself over to the side, he then signed in sign language "I feel like a horrible person sometimes, my own jealousy got people hurt. All because I tried not to have feelings for you, so I justified it when accusing Lucas of cheating on me. I don't think you're that advanced in sign language so this is how I get things off my chest".

I sat up in bed and teared up, he made a face "You really learned it for me…?", he spoke.

"Yeah", my voice cracked.

"Please, don't tell him", he spoke.

"I won't, that would destroy him", I spoke.

He pressed his lips against mine one more time and just like that….

I was pregnant.

A Few Years Later: Lucas held both twins, both boys, DNA testing showed they Cody was the father of one and Lucas was the father of the other".

Lucas adored them, both of the them the same, Cody was a little bias, as he loved his son more. Lucas would get up for both babies in the middle of the night, Cody wouldn't. I looked at both engagement rings on my finger as they played with the twins. My beautiful four year olds amazed me, my heart burst of joy when I heard their giggles. Lucas looked at me and smiled "I'm heading to work, okay?"

"Okay", I sat on the floor rearranging toys . He kneeled and kissed me goodbye then he kissed Cody goodbye quickly"I love you Eden, you too Cody", he smiled before he left. Cody stood in the kitchen chopping carrots for chicken noodle soup. Cody and Lucas after four years still had a love hate relationship towards each other. Cody stared at me after Lucas left "Have you took another pregnancy test yet?"

I smiled "No, not yet".

He looked up briefly "Mm, you should. I'm pretty sure it's mine since I don't use condoms anymore."

I stared back at him "And you don't why…it's nothing to brag about ".

"I like having baby fever that's why", he responded.

Before I could speak I heard loud bangs that caught me off guard , then it was three more… four more.

Cody ran to the door "Take the kids and run upstairs immediately, hide under the bed and I'll find you!"

I don't remember how long I hid under that bed but I was so scared he wouldn't come back, it felt like three hours, the kids had fallen asleep. He came back "Eden.. baby", he sounded somber.

I crawled out the bed bringing each one of the children on top of the bed.

"Yeah what happened?", I rubbed my eyes.

He looked so distraught "uh… it's Lucas… he's dead… ".

My eyes widened "D-Dead you're joking right?!"

"Right?!", I repeated.

I saw him start to cry silently, it didn't hit me until I saw the blood on Cody's shirt and some on his hands.

"No..no…no!", I screamed. I sobbed so loud I woke the kids up.

Cody stared at me "He got shot, I couldn't do anything to stop it, I tried to resuscitate him until the paramedics came but it was no use..", he cried.

"No use", I repeated.

"Mommy why are you crying?", I heard one of them call to me.

I tried to wipe my tears "It's raining that's why, follow mommy, she needs to put you to bed".

After I put them to bed I cried on Cody's lap.

————-

I had a sense of numbness since then, Cody snaps me out of it. But ever since our daughter was born after the funeral he's found his joy again. She was born deaf. Lior still asks where his father is sometimes but he's growing up pretty well. Connor seemed to forget. Ever since meeting Lucas my life will never stay the same.

I'll love you forever Lucas, I'll always wear your ring, I embraced my name and I took your last name. ❥

Fin. End of Eden's Complex.
