It was evening outside and the dimly lit bar was starting to get more lively with customers coming in

at intervals.

Maria Coker sat across from Richard King with her hands gripping the glass of drink she had ordered tightly. She couldn’t bring herself to drink just yet as she was having a hard time gathering her raging emotions which threatened to spill very soon. The man in front of her was the last person she needed to see right now. The one person she had successfully hidden away from for so long... until now.

Richard watched the various emotions playing out on Maria’s face nervously.

All these years searching for her, he had always imagined how things might be when he found Maria. He had imagined begging her to come back to him, to live with him. But right now, having finally found her, sitting right in front of her, all the words he had planned to say eluded him.

Richard realized that had no right to say such things to her anymore. Especially not when his own family had ruined h

    “There’s been a slight change in our plans.”Noah declared with a hint of frustration in his voice as he ended the call with his grandfather.“Change? What changed?”, Lola asked with a frown as she stopped poking at her food to look up at him. “My grandfather seems to want more than just registering our marriage and getting the certificate. He also wishes that we stay in the family home together with the rest of the family for at least two weeks.”Stay in the family home?! “Is there no way around that?” Lola asked with widened eyes. She was understandably afraid. She knew that the Sanchez family was no ordinary family and honestly did not know what to expect from them. She was from an ordinary background and had no power or influence attached to her name.How would they treat her? She couldn’t help but imagine how it would be to live in the Sanchez family’s ancestral mansion for even two weeks with those high and mighty people! They were rich and most rich people she knew were snobbis

Bianca Sanders laughed as two of the men in their group stood up to go after them at once. Her phone started vibrating at the same time. "A minute please," Bianca said as she excused herself from the rest of her friends."Hi Mom." she greeted as she picked up the call.Unlike her daughter, Charlotte Sanders was in no mood for pleasantries. "You were supposed to be home an hour ago Bianca. Where the hell are you?." she asked angrily."Mom about that... I wish to stay back a bit longer. Why do you need me back home anyway?." Bianca asked complaining as she removed the phone from her ear, holding it away at an arm's length to guard her eardrum from the fami

    A red Rolls Royce Ghost car drove into the Sanchez family estate only to be greeted by the noise of an abnormally bustling mansion.Furrowing her eyebrows, Ava Sanchez stepped down from the back seat of the vehicle as the chauffeur held the door open for her. She wondered why the mansion was so noisy as her servants had been trained to always be organized and quiet as they went about their chores.She ignored the greetings of the maids who had lined up outside to help carry the bags containing the new luxury items she had shopped earlier in the morning from the car trunk and she walked into the house with low clanking heels.Inside the huge mansion, the servants were busy rearranging pieces of furniture and adding more seats to the long table in the large dining hall. “Mrs Dorothy?.” Ava called as she made a signal for one of the nearby maids to call the housekeeper over. The maid scurried off and returned with a plump woman in her mid-fifties. “Madam Sanchez. Welcome back.” Mrs. Dor

As the mistress of the house, she was dressed in the finest outfit and adorned with the most befitting accessories. With her thirty-year-old appearance, it was hard to believe that Ava Sanchez was a woman in her mid-fifties. “There you are Ava, It’s so nice to see you again after so long!.” Aunt Lucy, Grandfather Sanchez’s younger sister exclaimed as she sighted Ava. Peter, her husband was right behind her and he also gave Ava a quick hug after his wife.“It’s also nice seeing you, Aunt Lucy. You keep looking younger by the years.” Ava teased making the old lady blush uncontrollably. “You would never stop teasing me,” she complained making Ava and Uncle Peter laugh. “No I won’t Aunt, I’m glad you guys could make it over with such short notice,” Ava said as she signaled for Mrs. Dorothy to lead the old couple inside.

    “Who is that girl?.” they asked. But how could Ava provide the answer to a question she also wanted to ask? At this point, only Noah could explain his actions so they waited for the duo to walk up to them.Just then, Grandfather Sanchez who had been waiting for Noah to arrive with his granddaughter-in-law walked out of his study room excitedly with some elders behind him.Noah who was still holding on to Lola’s hand was unfazed about the attention they drew. They walked past his mother and the curious relatives, not bothering to stop until they reached where the old man stood.“Grandfather, meet Lola, your granddaughter-in-law,” Noah said as he introduced Lola to the old patriarch. The crystal chandeliers above were giving out bright white lights as they shone on every face with surprised expressions.“Noah got married? How is this possible?.”“Are the rumors of him being gay all untrue?.” Everyone present had similar questions in mind but they didn’t dare to voice it out loud and c

Since they were now married, they had to sit beside each other.Ava, who had followed behind them bitterly from the garden wished to retire back to her room but she dared not to or she would receive an earful of scolding from the old patriarch for abandoning her guests and her duties.

    The personal maid assigned to Lola was about her age and she communicated with her politely. When they got to the room that had been arranged for her, the maid slid an access card over the door’s keyframe which clicked open and granted them access to the room.“Everything in here has been arranged earlier by Mrs. Dorothy ma’am, your luggage had also been unpacked and arranged by me but if you need anything else, all you need to do is to press the button close to the bed stand and I’ll be here to attend to you in a jiffy.” The maid who had identified herself as Hannah said with a blush as she bowed and after dropping off the access card, she hurried away as if she was being chased before Lola could even let a word out.Lola wondered why the maid was in a hurry but shrugged and turned to walk into the bedroom only to be stunned by the sight before her. The place she thought would be only a bedroom was more like an apartment on its own. She had walked straight into a living room instead

But I assure you, I am an excellent host.”“Would you like

    It was late into the night when Noah’s eyes gradually opened.His eyelids continued to flutter until they finally adjusted to the lighting in the room. When he tried to turn on his side, his back hurt, and his entire body felt numb so he lay there for a while, unmoving.~Her bed was warm and Lola felt more comfortable as she snuggled against her huge pillow. She remained there until she heard her phone vibrate and her tired eyes reluctantly opened up.“Ah..h!.” Lola jumped off the bed with a scream as she realized that the pillow she had been hugging was a real person. Who would dare?...Noah, who had been pushed off to the edge of the bed groaned at the slight pain her roughness had brought to his still-recovering body.Now widely awake, Lola was in for a double shock as she stared at the person in hospital clothes who she had pushed away. “Noah!!!.” Lola screamed with joy and a rush of excitement overtook her as she jumped back on the bed to return to her husband’s embrace, comple

    SEVEN WEEKS LATER,Lola clutched the test results in her hands tightly as she rushed into the hospital’s restroom. Finally, alone, she let the hot tears that she had been holding back stream down freely on her face. She was pregnant, and yet there was no way to tell him that he was going to be a father. Her phone started to ring in her purse and Lola inhaled sharply to clear her voice before she picked up the call. It was Maria. “Mom.” She managed to say in a clear voice. “Honey, you should come home today. Let me take care of you while you get some rest...”“I will be fine, Mom. Trust me. You know I’m a lot stronger than you think.” Lola said, even though her supposed strength was a lie, she refused to be swayed from her responsibility. “Besides I have to be there for when...” she insisted. Maria let out a long sigh at the other end of the line, her daughter was stubborn as always and she wondered who it was that the girl had taken after. Richard.“If you say so.” Maria finally sa

    “Step away from her this moment, Nathaniel!.”Andy ordered as he stared at his wife who looked too shaken to utter a word. He could understand what she was going through, after all, he had been present all along to know just how much Nathanial had affected her in the past.“Stay out of this, Father!.” Ash snapped as he ran his hand through his hair frustratedly. “I am not your father, neither is she your mother. We are not related to you in any way whatsoever. Come to your senses, young man!.” Andy clarified angrily.Ash let out a bitter laugh and he withdrew his hands from Ava’s to stand up to his feet. “In the end, it's those two you want right?.” He questioned, referring to Noah and Xena.Their present denial of him was a huge blow to Ash’s ego. He had been prepared to do anything for them.

    Infinity Apartments,The Penthouse.“Boss!.” John bowed as he reached Noah amidst the anxious gazes of Grandfather Sanchez, Lola, and Mr. Henry. The men had indeed discovered something, but it would be safer if only Noah learned of it so he leaned in to whisper to Noah, but he was stopped by Noah who shook his head and ordered. “Speak up!.”John glanced in Lola’s direction with a slight hesitation in his gaze. “Boss, I don't think..”An icy glare from Noah shut him up.“Whatever it is, we need to hear it boy!.” Grandfather Sanchez added and Lola and Mr.Henry nodded in agreement. The old man did not like the way the bodyguard was cautious of Lola’s presence either. She was one of them now and the Sanchez family’s women would not be thought of as weaklings! It was a family matter and they all had to think of a solution, together. John swallowed and decided to speak up regardless of how sensitive the matter might be to the young miss.He looked at Noah directly and reported. “The men m

    “They’ve been gone for over six hours. The flight takes three. So how is it possible that they are not yet there?.”An eerie silence settled over the room as everyone suddenly turned serious. Even Lola, who had just walked out of the bedroom after hearing the old man’s voice in the living area was forced to keep the formalities aside and listen in on the conversation, quietly.“I had called the resort before all else sir, they are indeed yet to arrive.” Mr. Henry explained. He had only noticed that something was off when the guards that had been arranged to convey the elder Sanchez couple from the airport to the resort where they were to stay had called to inform him that thetwo people they were expecting, were nowhere to be seen. The bodyguards had been waiting at the airport for a long time before they finally reached out.Mr. Henry was also the one to confirm the booking of their stay instead of Grandfather Sanchez, so it had also been easy for him to get the information that he ne

    “Lola…” Noah groaned as his wife’s soft hands tortured his member which did not hesitate to betray him by hardening excitedly in the welcome softness of her warm hands. He had not expected that she would touch it…again.“It’s so big,” Lola mumbled and adjusted her hands gently around his throbbing rod which suddenly jerked again in her hands. Even in the dimly lighted room, it was easy to see the veins around his thick manhood, and its cap which glistened with pre-cum only fascinated Lola the more as she rubbed gently on it and went further to move her hands up and down his dick.Noah ran his tongue over his lower lip as he stared down at his little wife completely helpless. Whether drunk and drugged or sober, how is it that she did the same thing? no matter how sloppy her inexperienced hands on his shaft were, did she not know that her simple action could torture him to madness?Noah wrapped his hand around Lola’s and his lips parted slightly as he guided her at the pace that he want

    The lights from down the marina’s pathway cast the most beautiful shadow on Noah’s features, making them look sharper and dangerously more charming. His deep eyes trailed appreciatively down Lola’s body and Lola blushed from his hot gaze that suddenly made her feel so self-conscious... It was almost as if the man in front of her could see the whole of her soul with the whole of his eyes. “Why are you looking at me that way?.” Lola finally asked.It was a little windy and the breeze made a lock of her hair blow toward her face. She made to put the strands back in place but Noah was one step ahead of her, as always.He tucked the red lock of hair behind Lola’s ear and let out a helpless sigh as he draped a coat that Lola did not notice he had been holding around her shoulders to prevent her from catching a cold. “It's even more gorgeous than I imagined it would be on you. But of course, your beauty surpasses it…” He responded in a serious tone and Lola could almost swear that she had

    The elevator dinged and the Sanchez couple walked to the entrance of the suite where Noah opened the door with their keycard. A porter, who was helping them convey the packages they had returned with from their afternoon outing walked inside first and Lola followed after him. She suddenly stopped, surprised to see that Noah still standing outside, and even after the porter had dropped off their bags and left, he made no moves to come in after her.“Aren’t you coming in?.” she asked. Noah shook his head in the negative as he signaled for Lola to go ahead. “I had something delivered for you. It’s in the living room.”“Read the note first.” He added with a teasing smile.Lola raised her brows and let out a nervous chuckle. “Okay? That's it?.”Noah nodded. He could read from the curious look in her eyes that she wished to know more, but divulging his plans by words was not his way of doing things.~“What are you up to, Noah?.” Lola muttered as she made her way into the living room Just
