Warning: the chapter contained physical violence. Reader discretion is advised.The head of prison informed the guards, and the guards informed all the gangs’ leaders about Lydia’s sentence and her case. Since child abuse was one of her charges, some leaders of the gangs only grinned and smirked to hear the head of prison gave them a privilege of bullying Lydia.Rapists and child abusers were the worst offenders any prisoners could do that would earn them the worst punishment from the prison gangs, because some of them also had children at home. So, spreading information about Lydia’s charges would guarantee a worse punishment for Lydia in the prison.When Lydia entered her cell, her inmates sneered at her. “Look who’s coming!” one of them said.“
A day after Lydia’s death, Gabriel and Rosalind went to the church again to repeat their vows. Gabriel even sent the wedding invitation to Maxwell since he wanted to ensure the billionaire would back off for good after seeing his wedding with Rosalind had taken place.Jane walked first through the church’s isle as the flower girl. She carried a small basket filled with red rose petals. Her smile was wide and bright as she took her time to spread the flower with her step. She wore a white dress from lace with a rose pattern all over her dress. Then she sat next to Anna who was on the first row.“Well done, sweetheart!” Anna said. “You look so pretty.”The little girl beamed to hear the praise. “Thank you, Grandma!” Jane hugged Anna and grinned. “I can’t wait to see Dad and Mom!”
Rosalind looked around to search for Lynnette. When their eyes met, Rosalind signaled Lynnette to approach her. When Lynnette was beside her, Rosalind smiled at Maxwell and Axel. “Please meet my bridesmaid and best friend, Lynnette Martin.”Lynnette offered her hand to Maxwell. “Hello, I’m Lynnette. Nice to meet you.”Maxwell shook her hand and nodded. “I’m Maxwell Taylor. Pleasure to meet you. This is my son, Axel Taylor.”Lynnette smiled at Axel and offered the boy her hand. “Hi, Axel, do you want to play? Maybe Jane wants to play with us too.”The little boy didn’t reply for a few seconds, but then he nodded. Lynnette and Axel walked to approach Jane. Three pairs of eyes follow how Lynnette asked Jane to play with them in the playground church. Then Jane and Axel ran
“Not fair!” Rosalind protested. “Tell me now!”Gabriel laughed aloud and kept shaking his head. “I won’t! You must wait.”“Argh!” she groaned and clenched her fist. “Patience isn’t my virtue, you know. Come on! Tell me!”He chuckled and then lifted his eyebrow. “Are you sure you want to know it now?”“YES!” she shouted.“Fine, but I need compensation.”“Okay, what do you want?”Gabriel grinned and kissed Rosalind’s lips. “Okay, I’ll give you a hint. We won’t go elsewhere for three days, but we will stay in our cabin and make love day and night.”Rosalind giggled and blushed because ha
“Gabe!” Rosalind protested.Gabriel lifted his eyebrow, but there was a smile in his eyes. “Well?”“Don’t make me say it, please?” she pleaded. Her cheeks were already crimson because of shyness.“Ah, my timid wife.” He pushed her back so her body moved forward. “It’s only the two of us here. Why are you still shy, baby?”“I can’t help it. I’m worried if anyone will hear us.”Gabriel stared at his wife for a few seconds. Later, he smiled and helped her wear her bra again and zipped her dress. She gazed at him, clearly confused about what he wanted. When he put her back in her seat, she frowned.
Gabriel pulled Rosalind into his embrace and kissed her forehead again. “No need to thank me, baby. All I have is yours. If you are happy, I’m too.”“But still ….” She took a deep breath. “Having a family is more than anything. Also, how they love me and care about me ….” She sniffled and leaned her head on his chest. “I love you, Gabe.”“I love you more, baby. Forever and ever.”They kissed and savored the moment for a while before he turned her body. So, her back was next to his chest and hugged her waist from behind. An arm was on her stomach as if he didn’t want to let her go and tried to protect their baby in her womb at the same time.Without speaking, they lay on the bed, enjoyin
They didn’t spend a week on their honeymoon because they missed Jane. After taking breakfast on the fifth day, they used Gabriel’s private helicopter to send them to Zurich Airport. A driver already waited for them to send them to look around the city.“To Bahnhofstrasse, please,” Gabriel said to the driver. Then he glanced at Rosalind. “It’s Zurich’s shopping boulevard. We need to buy gifts for everyone.”Rosalind nodded. “Don’t forget our Jane.”“Of course. The gifts for our daughter are of the highest priority.”They exchanged smiles in the car. After 16 minutes, they arrived at the boulevard.He grinned at her and squeezed her hand.
Jane, sitting in the living room, immediately ran and hugged Rosalind’s waist when she saw Rosalind. “Mom! You’re back!”“Yes, sweety! Mom missed you so much!”The little girl wept and leaned her head on Rosalind’s stomach. “I missed you too, Mom. How’s your holiday?”“It’s wonderful.” She kissed her daughter’s forehead. “Hug Dad first, sweetheart.”Jane ran to Gabriel. Her father lifted her and kissed her cheeks. “Are you happy Dad and Mom have been home?”“Yes, Dad. I enjoyed being here with Grandma, but I missed you two.”“Really?” Gabriel asked.&n
