WILLOW

He looks down at me and his gray becomes darker. His long fingers tucks my hair behind my ear. I could feel his hot breathe on my forehead. I just realized how short of a rat I am.

“Did you? . . .” He says softly before he searches my eyes like they hold the truth he is searching for.

“Did I What?” I ask almost not sure whether my voice was audible enough.

His gray eyes falls to my lips and my stomach feels funny. Why is having this effect on me? My face is red from all this. He takes a step forward and I move back but I lost my balance and my ass makes contact with the bed.

“What you said during the interview,” He says as he looks down at me. He just a few inches away and I can’t help but know that his lower body is a few inches away from my face.

It is taking a lot of scolding and mental screaming for me not to look. I gulp down spit and my eyes widens when I realized I said yes. This is supposed to be a secret. I didn’t want to ruin the relationship I have with him. Now, wh

The thought of waking up to this every morning is bliss.I cuddle closer, indulging and tracing my hands on his face.

I raise my head feeling shy and kiss him back. "Yes," I answer. “How was your night” he asks and I turn red. “Oh…it was” I start to say and he grins. “You’re blushing” he points out.

    willow forced politeness masked my turmoil as I struggled to find words. "Beth? It's been a while," I managed to say, though my tone betrayed the lingering pain. "I know I messed up, but I needed to see you. Can we talk?" She uttered. The internal conflict within me intensified. My desire for closure warred with the lingering hurt. Part of me wanted to return inside and slam the door shut, shutting out the painful memories, while another part yearned for an explanation from her. At least, just to hear what the bitch would say. "Talk about what? Answer me, talk about what exactly?" My eyes narrowed while my voice taut with suppressed anger. "I'm really sorry, and I'm here to ask for your forgiveness. Please, kindly find a space in your heart to forgive me." "Forgive you? Do you have any idea what you did, Beth? You betrayed not only our friendship but my trust." "Willow, I messed up.

But I want you to know that love is not just about embracing the person, but also about embracing their journey, their dreams, and their flaws. It's about learning and growing together."A pause lingered in the air, allowing his words to settle, before he added, "Treat him with kindness, my dear. In the ebb and flow of life, kindness is a beacon that illuminates even the darkest corners of the heart. Learn to communicate openly. If he ever tries to hurt you in extreme wats, don't cease to inform me, please."In that moment, mum entered with a tray of

    The next day, my parents requested that Luciano and I join them for a discussion. I was informed over a call."Hope nothing is wrong?" I asked, as the summons left me curious and a bit apprehensive."Of course, there isn't. We only want to discuss an important issue with you both." my parents assured me that it was nothing alarming.

I inquired, my gaze shifting between my parents.My mother spoke with a mild tone."Before I dive into what we're here to talk about, I'll say this first. I

    WILLOW'S POVWaking up low spirited the next day, I sense a lingering unease which is very unusual. Given my actions the previous day with Luciano I shouldn't be feeling this way. The court proceedings about our marriage was enough reason for me to be happy and feel better, talk less of the incessant love making we made throughout the night. The room is cloaked in the soft hues of dawn, but my heart feels heavy. Contemplating the source of this disturbing feeling, a sudden buzz interrupts the stillness. It was from my phone which I pick up from my nightstand, checking what notification it was. It turned out to be a message, a text from an unfamiliar number. The message is chillingly concise: ‘I know your secret and it's out in the open. Watch out!’ Dread gripped me in a hard way as my mind races, searching for clues to the puzzle that has now intruded upon my morning."Is anything the problem?" Luciano asks behind me with sleepy eyes, his voice tinged with concern while piercing th

Lucien asks.”Taking a deep breath, I respond, "I mean I want to talk to her, understand where her head is at. I need to know if she wants to stay, who she wants, and what's going on in her mind right now."Lucien leans back, his expression serious. "Honestly, Lucas, I think we should just let Camilla go. She's been through so much in such a short period. It's a miracle she's holding it together.And, let's face it, everything she's going through is because of us. If we never came into her life, she wouldn't be facing all these difficulties," he says.Nodding in agreement, I admit, "I've been thinking about it too. But, Camilla is avoiding me.

Sunglasses adorn her face, keeping her beautiful eyes shielded from the sun.I can't help but be proud that she is mine.She spots me where I am parked in a pretty secluded location and makes her way to me. Her gait, the epitome of modelling art as she could easily pass for a supermodel with the way she struts towards me.Just then, a feeling of dread washes over me like a sort of premonition that something bad was about to happen.Just as I thought that, the sound of screeching car tires filled the quiet street as a car rounds a sharp just a few meters from her at a high speed, drifting in the process and using that momentum to head straight for her.It a

"You think the court would grant you the custody of our son to you, the father who is already dating another woman while refusing to complete the family which would be the best for the child?" she asked and then scoffed. "I am the mother, and I, unlike you wants what's best for my child. I want us to have a complete family. I have a better case than you.""We would let the court decide that," I shrugged. "Take the papers and get out of my office.""What if I don't accept these papers?" she asked with a frown."Then they would be delivered to your doorstep by the cops," I shrugged.

    vLUCIANO'S POVWillow stares at me for a long while. Even as I plead and do my absolute best to further convince her that everything she saw was a misunderstanding. My words seemed to fall on deaf ears as she made no gestures to express her emotions. Her face was emotionless, her eyes bleak and her mouth shut.Very much unlike the Willow I know."Say something, Willow," I sigh as I eventually decided to stop talking and just listen to her."What do you want me to say?" she asked calmly, surprising me. "You kissed a woman you claim to have nothing romantic with and call it a misunderstanding. What am I supposed to say to that? Do I believe you who went there yourself and let her kiss you, or Clara, who obviously wanted me to see it by recording it? Who do I trust?""Me," I say as I inch closer to her but her eyes stop me in my tracks. They always had a fire in them that I love, but the flames I see now are so scalding hot that it would burn me to a crisp if I approached her carelessly.

I could feel his heated gaze on me, but I refused to look up and meet his eyes. Both of us had sex yesterday, but that didn't mean I entirely forgave him. I had to trust him that Clara planned all this.I had to trust that he would never do anything to jeopardize us.“Are you coming with me today?” He asked as he picked up his pants from the bed.

    LUCIANO'S POVIn an instant, Willow's mouth was against mine and our lips parted. Our tongues collided and our mouths meshed into a saliva pit. My arms surrounded her and we kissed powerfully for a solid time. Our tongues mashed deep into each other's mouths as our hands roamed over all new territory and while my cock hardened.“Let’s not do this here,” Willow said when she got her tongue back."Why? They'll understand we're making another baby." I replied."Oh, no! I won't survive mum's taunts if she catches us." She rose, taking my hand off her body. She locked the door and climbed the bed once again to prevent anyone from intruding in our moment.We continued kissing and she paused for a moment and I felt a shiver.“Give me your hand,” she said softly, and pulled my hand up under the front of her skirt till it was flush against her crotch.“Do you feel that?” she asked.“Hmmm, no underwear,” he said.“Feel how wet I am?”“Yes…”"That's to show how much I missed you."She kissed me
