Alison was still imagining the things she would do to Adrian when he abruptly turned toward her and met her lust-dazed orbs, catching her off-guard. Surprise flickered across his face as he realized he wasn't mistaken, the lady had been unabashedly ogling him. In as much as he found it flattering and thrilling that a beautiful lady like her was so captivated by him, Adrian couldn't ignore the pang of guilt and betrayal in his heart. He thought of Hayley and what this would mean in their non-existent relationship. He couldn't do that to her. This might be a test of his love for her after all."So, tell me more about yourself, Mr. Lewis." Alison started, returning her gaze to match his again. Just then the waiter arrived with their orders, placing the drinks delicately on the table before excusing himself.Adrian replied as he poured wine into the two flute glasses, offering one to Alison. He shrugged casually. "Well, there isn't much to know. I'm thirty, and I own an Arts company." H
"Welcome back, SCA Nina!" They all shouted in unison as they saw her approach the door with Adrian by her side. Their faces lit up with genuine smiles, reflecting their joy at her return. Hayley stood frozen by the doorway, momentarily stunned and speechless by the surprise. After a moment, she eventually let out a laugh. "Oh my goodness, what is all this?" Hayley marveled at her gaily decorated office in awe as she walked in. Adrian, who had escorted her in from the lobby cleared his throat before replying in a friendly tone."We thought we should throw our best artist a surprise welcome party. We are lucky to have you back here, SCA Nina." He added with a playful tone, leaning in to whisper in Hayley's ear. "And this is also a Thank you gift from us to you for accepting to represent us in the upcoming competition."The colleagues nodded in agreement, their eyes fixed on the two of them. "That's correct, SCA Nina." One of them chimed in.Adrian shrugged playfully, nudging Hayley. "
"WHAT?!" Hayley exclaimed in shock. Leonardo watched as she staggered back, her gaze dropping as she was still reeling from the shocking news he had just revealed to her. He had anticipated this. He knew this revelation would create a problem from the start, but he had to tell her. He had almost reacted the same way too when Adrian had also informed him about the date. He felt sorry for Hayley.There was a momentary silence as the atmosphere around them shifted with Hayley's heart still beating erratically in her chest. Leonardo remained silent, unsure of how to react.After a moment, Hayley finally struggled to regain her composure and also mustered the courage to speak. Her eyes darted to Leonardo's, her disbelief at what he had just told her, still palpable. "What do you mean Adrian went on a date with Alison? I don't understand. How do they know each other? How?" Hayley's voice trembled as she poured out her questions in a panicked tone.Leonardo sat straighter on the chair and
"Dumb bitch!" The young man's derogatory insult echoed through the serene room, filled with tension and fear. He growled at the woman, who was currently on her knees before him, vulnerable and defenseless. The man had a gun in his hand, and it pointed at her.Despite that, the woman remained still, her expression devoid of any emotion. Her gaze was lowered, and behind the lowered gaze, her eyes flickered with a hidden determination as she discreetly observed the gun that could decide her fate. She needed to act rationally and fast, otherwise the man would kill her in no time.The lady's face was adorned with stains of crimson, likewise, the white shirt she was clad in, was evidence of the violent encounter that had happened not too long ago. Her blonde hair, tied in a ponytail, framed her doe-like blue eyes that lacked empathy. They held a distant calculating gaze as she inwardly plotted her next move.The man who was unaware of the lady's intentions, barked at her again, harshly dema
She scoffed incredulously, shaking her head."The fuck are you trying to imply? What makes you think I'll ever work for you again?" Lilian retorted indifferently upon hearing Wendy's request. She stood her ground by the doorway, locking eyes with Wendy in a silent battle of emotions. Lillian's insides surged with nothing but resentment and frustration towards her. Gosh, she hated this woman before her. She despised the power Wendy still held over her. And Lilian knew damn well that was the only reason why she dared to show up uninvited. Nevertheless, Lilian had no intention of getting involved in whatever business that had brought Wendy to her doorstep. All Lilian wanted was for Wendy to say her piece and get out after getting declined.After a moment, Wendy's initial smile faded and her face turned expressionless as she replied in a relaxed tone, still standing. "Oh Lilian, dear. I witnessed your performance not too long ago, you know. And in my opinion, it was outstanding. I mean,
As Hayley stepped into the serene office, her high heels echoed on the marble floor, disrupting the tranquility of the room and drawing Adrian's attention as his eyes darted to meet hers. She closed the door behind her.Adrian paused his hand on the mouse and relaxed upon seeing Hayley, a warm smile forming on his face. He silently watched her as she made her way to his corner, with a file in her hand. On the other hand, Hayley approached Adrian's desk nervously, a faint smile plastered on her face. She was feeling uneasy, still unsettled about the events that had been happening in her life recently, especially involving the Forbes family. It had been three days since Leonardo informed Hayley about the situation. Although Adrian still hadn't mentioned anything about the date to her till now, Hayley believed it was better that way. She wasn't sure how she'd react if he did bring it up anyway. Nevertheless, a new goal and determination had ignited within Hayley. And that goal was to
Before Adrian shattered the awkward silence that had settled over them the moment Leonardo walked in earlier; he couldn't help but notice the expression on Hayley's face when she saw Leonardo. It was a mix of surprise and anxiousness. He also witnessed the way their eyes had been locked on each other for a brief moment, their surroundings fading before them as if they were engaged in a silent battle of emotions. Adrian couldn't shake the feeling that there was a deeper connection between them, although he wasn't certain. And this fazed him.After all, Hayley had previously claimed that she didn't know Leonardo personally and had denied him as her ex-husband at the time he had assumed he was. But now, Adrian felt something wasn't adding as this wasn't the first time he had seen them being awkward around each other. It didn't seem to stem from Hayley's animosity towards Leonardo, but rather something else entirely. Something he couldn't comprehend. Nonetheless, he hesitated to jump to
Surprise and confusion were etched across Adrian's face as he redirected his gaze to Leonardo after a moment, asking, fazed. "Daughter? You have a child, man?" Adrian's brows were creased as he met Leonardo's expressionless gaze. Leonardo remained quiet, just staring at Adrian, and from his perspective, he could see the anxiousness and confusion that emanated from him. As much as he wanted to tell and boast about his daughter, Daisy to him, he knew Hayley wouldn't be pleased. He couldn't risk jeopardizing the newfound relationship he now had with her. Hence...After a moment, Leonardo let out a laugh, much to Adrian's confusion. What was wrong with this man? He couldn't help but ask inwardly. Leonardo laughed incredulously for a moment before finally saying amidst laughs. "I got you there, man. You should've seen your face!" He said, laughing even more.Adrian was still confused as he stared at Leonardo fazed. But he couldn't deny the anxiety that was slowly starting to dwindle fro

Later that afternoon, three hours into the event, Hayley made her way to the parking lot where her car was situated. She had excused herself from the guests and Leonardo, explaining that she needed to visit someone. That someone, of course, was Adrian.Since her conversation with Emily earlier, she had been feeling increasingly unsettled. A myriad of thoughts and unanswered questions weighed heavily on her mind, leaving her feeling guilty and heartbroken as she reflected on Adrian's attitude towards her. Although she had intended to see him after the event, her impatience grew overwhelming; she could no longer wait. She needed to speak with him, to personally apologize for the past, and to invite him to the grand opening of her second company in two weeks since he hadn't made it to this one nor her wedding, a month ago. After asking Emily for Adrian's whereabouts, Hayley resolved to visit him at his office right after delivering her keynote address. With that, she made her way toward
[TWO MONTHS LATER ] "Cheers!" the crowd joyfully exclaimed as Hayley cut the red ribbon. A broad smile illuminated Hayley's face as she wielded the scissors to sever the ribbon. "Congratulations, Nina!" several guests called out, their applause filling the air, evidence of their excitement.That afternoon, Hayley couldn't hide her radiant smile as she took in her surroundings, her eyes roaming the place. She marveled at the impressive building before her, topped with a striking black sign that read 'NINA's ARTISTRY AVENUE,' still in awe that it truly belonged to her.But then again, it was the grand opening of her newly established company, and she was surrounded by distinguished guests, billionaires, and affluent investors eager to explore partnership opportunities with her enterprise. Hayley was brimming with immense joy. Upon the cutting of the ribbon, the guests went inside to survey the building, and each of her artworks that were in it. They were served a variety of drinks
The announcement of Hayley and Leonardo's engagement made headlines just two weeks following the proposal, as they eagerly began planning their extravagant wedding celebration. Leonardo was determined to marry within a month, expressing his impatience to officially welcome Hayley as his lawfully wedded wife once again. Images of the couple flooded the Internet, captivating fans and followers alike. Their connection had grown significantly stronger now that past issues were resolved. Hayley felt a genuine sense of happiness as she reclined on Leonardo's bed, anticipating the usual morning breakfast from him. Leonardo had made it his duty to always serve her breakfast in bed after any long passionate night. Just like the past five mornings, this was no exception as Leonardo had also made mad love to her the previous night. Ever since they got engaged, they'd been all over each other, having sex everywhere and any corner of the mansion, ranging from Leonardo's study to the kitchen, the b
Hayley woke up the next day, feeling slightly sore down there, a vivid reminder of what had transpired the previous night as she tried to recall. A coy smile tugged at her lips as she stretched out her weary body. As she fluttered her eyes open, she noticed she was the only one in the room.She instinctively turned over, hoping he'd be right behind her but to her disappointment, he wasn't also there. Hayley frowned, massaging her temples as she felt a wave of loneliness enveloped her. She couldn't help but ponder about Leonardo's whereabouts. Yawning tiredly, she lifted the mattress of her body to realize she was already cladded in one of his oversized Tshirts. A warm smile crossed her face as she recognized that Leonardo must have dressed her up in that because she had no recollection of doing so herself the previous night. Smiling with newfound excitement, she draped the mattress over herself, gazing up at the ceiling. Just then, she felt an unusual weight on her finger and when s
"Yeah," Hayley nodded curtly though she felt drained. A smile spread across his face and he glanced down at where they were joined, witnessing his cum flow from her pussy. He redirected his gaze back to her and whispered. "You're sore, aren't you?"Hayley nodded slowly, her eyes still dazed with a mix of lust and tiredness. "A bit."Leonardo regarded her and nodded. "This is the last, I promise." He said reassuringly, leaning in to kiss her lips. While kissing her, he began moving his waist upward and downward, his already surged dick thrusting into her channel deeply.Soft moans began fleeing from Hayley's lips once more, her visions blurring as she felt her arousal resurfaced. She hugged his back, wrapping her legs around his waist as he moved in and out of her repeatedly. Leonardo carefully angled his thrusts, taking her slowly and passionately as he wasn't just fucking her this time but making love to her. Hayley whined, feelings of ecstasy flooding through her as Leonardo buri
He rammed into her unexpectedly, causing Hayley to scream as a blend of immense pain and pleasure coursed through her. Leonardo's cock was buried deep inside her channel but he paused, allowing her to adjust to his size as he had taken her unexpectedly. His dick pulsated inside of her as her walls clamped around him.Their bodies joined; he paused, watching her as she struggled to catch her breaths, her face twisting with pain. Leonardo lowered himself to soothe her, his lips latching onto hers as he made to reduce her discomfort. Hayley whimpered amidst the kiss as he began moving in and out of her in a slow yet deep thrust. He was allowing her the moment to take him in fully and also being careful as well as he never forgot she was pregnant.Hayley caressed Leonardo's head, brushing her lips against his as he began fucking her, his pace increasing slowly with each passing thrust."Fuck, mi reina, you're so tight..." Leonardo growled out, stealing a glance down at where they were jo
As she spoke, Leonardo looked down at her with a smile, warmth spreading through him. He felt a deep sense of satisfaction hearing Hayley openly express her feelings. A rush of sensations enveloped him, intensifying as he became aware of his arousal pressing against her lower abdomen. Hayley’s inviting smile widened as she adjusted her position, allowing him to settle more comfortably against her. She squirmed slightly, breathing softly while maintaining eye contact. One hand wrapped around the back of his neck, while the other gently caressed his cheek.Before she could voice her thoughts, Leonardo beat her to it. "I love you," he declared, his gaze locked on hers, eager for her response. Her smile brightened as she tenderly traced his face with her thumb. "I love you too, Leonardo. And I'm so glad you’re the father of my children."A proud smile spread across his face, her words filling him with warmth and affection. Without a moment's hesitation, he leaned in to capture her lips
His tongue danced around her sensitive bud, drawing a soft whimper from Hayley as she tangled her fingers in his hair, tugging at the strands. Her legs were hung over his shoulders as his head remained buried in her core.Hayley gasped for breath as Leonardo traced his tongue along her slit, teasingly reaching her clit, sucking and licking with an intensity that suggested he had everything to lose. "Ah, yes, baby, right there..." Hayley moaned, tilting her head back in ecstasy, her eyes fluttering shut. Despite the air conditioning in Leonardo's room, beads of sweat glistened on her temples, her body ignited with an unquenchable desire."Mm, mm, L-Leonardo," she squirmed beneath him, but his firm grasp held her in place, preventing her from escaping his tantalizing ministrations.He continued to suck and lick until she began to writhe in response, her legs trembling as her climax approached. High-pitched moans escaped her lips as she begged him to continue, but in typical fashion, Le
