PrideHis words hit me. He speaks in a near monotone. I am about to open my mouth to respond when Dave already gets up from his chair. I watch him coming towards his daughter. He then carries the child in his arms.A hurricane of emotion swirls deep within me as his words stop me cold. A passionate father-and-daughter relationship tied me up— it is just full of happiness and love and content. A strange mix of insecurity and jealousy washes over me. And I have no idea where it comes from and what it is even for.I shake my thoughts off my mind. I rise from my seat as Dave gestures to me to follow him. Davvy is burying her tiny face against her father's shoulder. She glances in my direction and just like what she did earlier, she rolls her eyes at me. Not allowing myself to be drowned in irritation, I heave out a sigh. As soon as we get out of the office, his secretary approaches right away with a thin smile.“Lott, we are heading out now. Have you clocked out yet?”“I already have, si
Our DaughterMy mouth drops in awe the moment we arrive at El-Greco’s mansion. The entire area is absolutely wide and elegant with crisp light radiating from dazzling orbs on the marble walls. The kind of luxury that this place has is entirely out of place in the middle of nowhere. And yet that was the whole point why it was built there because it definitely stands out.I know how wealthy this man was, but I didn't quite anticipate this one so far. The fact that he bought me with his millions five years ago truly exceeded my expectations. Still, it's all too good to be true. I have been refusing to accept the fact that it is how it is. The wealth that this man has was just over the top. He made it to the point that all the luxury he has will take away the hostility I felt towards him in the long run.My mind is still trying to process the beauty the entire place brings. We continue moving forwards towards the concrete pathway leading to the main door. I get to see how big the place ac
FulfillI try to avoid my gaze from him. His words hardly hit my conscience. “Don’t get me wrong, Dave! It's not because I have no concern for her! I just don’t want to spend a little time with her.”“Do you even hear yourself, Brianna?” His face tightens before flashing an insulting smile at me. “You know, I also don’t want you to be with her even for just a few days. If only I have a choice, I won't let my child be associated with you,” there's a hint of rage in his voice. “I never thought you could say those words to your own child. Out of all people, why do you have to be the—” he pauses.“Say it!” I stare back at him, clenching my fists.He chooses to rise from his seat. “Never mind. Get up. I’ll take you to your—”“What stops you from saying it?” I stand up and turn to face him. “Why do I have to be the mother of your child? Is that so?” I feel my jaws tighten. “You should ask that to yourself. Why does it have to be me? Why did you choose me to be her mother? Why did you fuck m
BratA series of knocks wakes me up from my deep sleep. I drag myself towards the door and swing it open. A lady in uniform is standing behind the door with a smile.“Good morning, ma’am Brii. Sir Dave asked me to wake you up. Breakfast is ready downstairs.”“Okay. Tell him I'm coming over.”She bows down and leaves.After fixing my bed, I walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. After that, I change from nighties to casual t-shirt and shorts and brush my hair neatly. I dab a little bit of face powder in my face to look presentable.Oh, shit! How can I get into the dining area? Considering how big the mansion is, I'd probably get lost around here. I should have just told the housemaid to wait for me. Goddamn it!Though confused, I storm out of the room and head down the carpeted stairs. Relief flashes through me when I see the lady who knocked at my door earlier this morning.“Excuse me, could you please tell me how to get the dining area from here?” I ask her as soo
LotionMy conscience is telling me that I should pat her shoulder and comfort her. But I stop myself from doing so. We proceed to eat breakfast in peace.By the time we finish breakfast, Dave tells Toby to get the pool ready for swimming. Sheryl assists Davvy upstairs, getting her dressed. I stand up and wait for his errands.“You get ready as well. You're coming with us.”I slightly shake my head and turn to face him. “No need. Just give me something else to do.”“You should join us. That's what you have to do," he tells me. "Davvy needs to get used to being with you.”So, it is not really a formal invitation. He just wants me to be around for the sake of Davvy. Alright then, what am I even expecting?“I didn’t bring any swimwear—”“The maid spared some swimwear in the closet. You may use them.”I shrug. “Okay. I better get ready then.”“Be patient with her just a bit more.”“I’ll keep trying,” I say before finally leaving him behind.I hurry towards my room and pull the closet door
Sullen LookThey finally pull themselves out of the water after three hours of playing around the kiddie-sized pool. I let them leave first before I decide to go next. After his warning earlier, I chose to ignore him the entire time. Although, there are times when I can't control my eyes from staring at his muscled chest and toned abs. But that doesn't mean I stop detesting him. He still gets into my nerves no matter what. My exact plan was to actually swagger around Davvy. That way, her dislike towards me will somehow shrink a little. But instead, I got his attention more than the kid itself. What a joke!Meanwhile, I can feel the level of curiosity in Davvy's eyes everytime I dive into the water like a mermaid. I was minding my own thing but I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I hear Davvy asked her father earlier.“Daddy, she can swim and dive as gracefully as you. But she's only a girl.”When Davvy says that, I pretended that I didn't hear anything at all. I even ignore Dave's eyes as he
ShootI leave the dining hall and walk back upstairs. I lock the door as soon as I reach my room. I slide down against the wooden door like a melting candle.She hates me that much. I don't know but I feel like I deserve it. I deserve the pain I am feeling right now. I have failed her as her mother in so many ways. I have no right to complain now. As a matter of fact, giving me a good dressing down is not enough to compensate for all the things I've done in the past.I’ve never been a good mother to her. I am completely useless. I am in no position to complain about the way she treated me now. I have no right to feel hurt. I have no right to her. Nothing at all.Never did I expect that this encounter would bring me into tears. Perhaps, it's because of the pain I am feeling at the moment.Just carry on, Brii. Just bear with it a little bit more.It is late in the evening when I suddenly get up from a deep sleep. I find myself inside a dark and cold room. I stretch my arms and reach for
StopI climbed up to his body in the high stool. I face him and I parted my legs. I seduce him staring into his eyes.“You said to your daughter, you are a good diver? Hmm... From bottom to top. Really? All right, Mr. El-Greco, proved it to me now.” I whispered softly in his ear.He smiled at me as his hands traveled down my back and thighs. “Yeah, and I’ve proven that many times before. So, are you begging to me now? Just tell me, and I'll gladly show and prove it to you again.”“Hmm. . . No…” I laughed and shook my head as my hands squeezed his bulging muscles. I intentionally touched his manhood alive and now I can feel it between my thighs.He cleared his throat. “Bad girl, Brianna. All right, let's flirt until you ask me to give you a taste of my dive.”"Just wish, Dave." I blinked. “All right, let's see who will beg first. But I'm sure it's not me. "“Let’s see, Brianna,” he said while grinning.I gasped as he moved my hips forward against his body.“Ugh…” I sexily moan. “I allo
Finale 2 The fun of the little ones continued. They are so very happy. Everyone is so happy because of the Disney 4D-Artwork owned by Klara because Davvy's 7th birthday was celebrated there. It's also Davvy's choice because Dave and I chose and decided on the location and motifs of her birthday so the kids were also super delighted with Klara's Disney walls and artwork business. I and Dave as parents, we are happy to give pleasure to our child and other children, including the children in Mother Celine's orphanage. After the celebration, everyone was very tired because of playing. Gradually, the guests left and my family and I went home because of Travis's tantrums while Davvy fell asleep in his father's arms. "Mommy, do you remember the first time you and Davvy ride in this car?" later Dave asked. I looked at him while Travis was in my arms and asleep. "Yes." I looked at our eldest daughter. "That's super damn bad for me, she's serious, I almost gave up on your child that time," I
Finale 1"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you. . . happy birthday, happy birthday. . . happy birthday to you. . ." Whether it's a child or a parent, they sing a birthday song for my daughter Davvy. Davvy turned seven today. Just the speed of time and a year over also Dave and I have the youngest baby Travis. Yes, I gave birth to a baby boy. That's right and that's also what my husband and my baby girl want."Happy birthday, my baby Davvy." I said as I tap her head."Happy birthday, my princess. . ." Dave also taps her head."Thank you, Mommy, Daddy, and thank you for everything. . ." wide smile Davvy said to us and her guests."Blow out the candles, baby, and don't forget your wish," I said."Yes." She closed her eyes. "First of all, thank you, God, because I have lovable parents and a cute little brother, Travis. Thank you also for keeping us healthy and happy. God, I wish to have a little sister soon. I hope my Mommy and Daddy grant my birthday wish. That's all Jesus, tha
Postponed“I’m happy, I’m so happy, Klara. . . I am proud that I am married, Dave, that I am finally his Mrs. El-Greco.”“Hey sis, that's enough. Hold on.”Klara embraces me and tries to comfort me. “I don't feel sorry for you. Hold on, Brii. Maybe later they will think I am fighting with you.”I let go of her hug and smiled to face Klara's teary face. “I’m happy. And one more thing, it’s really like this when you’re pregnant. Too emotional.” I said wiping away my tears.“Children, why are you crying?” astonished question of the Three Sisters that Dave and I were forced to attend our wedding reception.“Oh mothers, this pregnant woman is just emotional. She said she was happy but she was crying, I didn't feel sorry for her." Klara said to them.“These kids really are. . .” The three just shook their heads while smiling.“Brianna, daughter, we mothers in the orphanage are happy that you will finally be at peace with your husband and children. May you strengthen and grow your marriage w
Tears of Joy"Long live the newlyweds!"Loud applause and shouts from the guests greeted my husband and me in the reception area of our wedding.“Thank you, thank you, thank you, everyone. . .” Dave and I smiled thankfully to everyone as I clasped his arm.Everyone is congratulating us. They were happy to witness our oneness from church to reception.Dave and I were also overjoyed. After all, finally, we could be called family because our marriage had been blessed by the church.The saying of the elders was true, that it is still good to feel if it is legal for two people to be married under one roof.Because then, my only outlook on life, even being together without marriage is okay, the important thing is that you take care of each other until you grow old, but when Dave and Davvy came into my life, suddenly the views changed. I suddenly dreamed and looked forward to a whole and happy family with them.“Wife, are you alright? Aren't you dizzy or nauseous?” Dave asked me when we ar
Sister"Secret,"“Hmm, okay. Let me kiss you first before we go to the garden," he said and slowly brought his lips closer to mine.“Tsk, save it later, Dave. Come on, face your family there.” I said to him even before he applied his lip to mine."Okay okay." But before he let me go, he kissed me on the cheek. "I love you."I blinked at it. "I love you, too birthday celebrant." I then winked at him.We happily walked together in the garden where the guests were having fun. Everyone there greeted him as soon as we entered the garden. Davvy immediately came over and kissed his father on the cheek.“Happy Birthday, Daddy. I love you.” Smiling, Davvy hugged and greeted her father.“Thank you, baby. Daddy’s love you too.” He lifted and kissed Davvy on the cheek.While watching them, I seemed to cry with joy. I’m glad because Dave loves our child so much. I was also happy that he raised our child well when I was not around.I suppressed the emotion that enveloped me before the father and da
Dave's BirthdayAfter a year . . .I opened my eyes with a smile that morning. It’s nice to wake up and smile every day, especially when there is a reason to live life to the fullest.Today is Dave’s 32nd birthday so I’m happy to be preparing with him and our child Davvy, but unbeknownst to him, I am planning a surprise party that day.I’m smiling while staring at him. He was still asleep next to me. I lift my hand to caress his cheek and kissable lips. He suddenly became dizzy and slowly opened his eyes.“Hmm. . . good morning,” he whispered using his bedroom voice.“Good Morning, Dave. . .” I then moved and kissed his cheek. "Happy Birthday," I whispered softly.He smiled very sweetly at me. He also embraced and kissed my lips. “It’s nice to wake up and see you smiling at me. Thank you very much for making this day complete. With your smile, it's enough for me to wake up every day.”I smiled more at what he said. “You also didn’t fail to make my day complete. As soon as I opened my
Just YouHe grinned. "As you wish, baby." He proceeds. One more caress of her lips on my femininity then he did it.“O-oh. . . Davey.” I moaned again when he sucked my two breasts like a baby and I moaned, even more, when his lip lifted from my neck to my lip. We kissed torridly. Eventually, he rose away from my body which surprised me."Dave…"He just smiled at me. “Yes, baby. . . Now.” he grabbed both my legs then positioned himself between my thighs.“Oh. . .” I moaned for a long time and suddenly he entered straight to me. “Ugh. . .” I moan again when he begins to thrust inside me.“I really missed you, baby. . . Ugh. . .” he says while moaning as he speeds up his exit-entry to me.“I love you, ugh. . . faster, Dave. . .” I growl and beg him.He suddenly stopped and looked into my eyes. "What did you say?"“Faster. . .”"No, the other one."“I-I love you. . .” I said stuttering.He smiled broadly and then continued to claim me. He speeds up and stops coming in and out of me.Dave
I pushed Dave lightly to his chest and I also wiped my tears from my eyes and cheeks. I frowned as I looked at him. “You. . . what, Dave? What is it again? What do you mean?” I ask a series of questions for him. “I love you. . .” I chuckled at him and shook my head. “Oh, come on, Mr. El-Greco. Stop it, you're not funny.” He blushed as if embarrassed at me. “You don’t believe me? Why, Brianna? Do I look like I’m just fooling around, do I sound sarcastic?” He uttered. "Are you serious? Really? You really love me?" I keep asking a question over and over again. “Hundreds, I mean, million yes. Yes. I love you and I really do.” “Oh, my god! No, you're just kidding and you're just fooling around. I know you, Dave, so get on with it!” I stood up and left him on the sofa. I leaned over the door and opened it. "Get out! I'm going to rest now.” He slowly walked in my direction and glared at me without cutting our eyes. He pushed the door shut again and he even locked it. "Dave!" "I won'
TalkAfter I showered, I immediately went to the connecting closet of the shower and I immediately put on a thin nightgown to relax at that time.I'm tired because Dave and I just got back from the hospital with Klara. He came with me to find out how she was now.When I came out of the closet, I was even more surprised when I saw Dave there on the sofa in my room. He also changed his clothes and freshly wearing his boxer shorts and shirt.He stared at me with a tired look.“W-what do you need? I'm tired and I'm going to rest.”"Can we talk first, Brianna?" He asks me immediately."What are we going to talk about?" I blankly ask him.“Everything. Please, come over,” he said and shook the large space on the sofa he was sitting on.I sighed. Before going next to him I first put a cloth on my thin dress.I approached and sat down on the single sofa in front of him.“What is it, Dave? Please hurry up and I'm tired.” I said even though I seemed to know what it meant to me.“Speak now, Brian
