Of course, I knew. The food was delicious. I wanted to thank his chef personally. Blinking, I glanced around. Carlos was sleeping on his stomach, his chiselled back was on display. I tucked the blanket to his shoulders. I wanted to run my finger. I clenched my hand. I tried my best but I ended up in bed with him.
I hurriedly dressed up and headed to the door. He was sleeping. I didn't want to disturb him. It was five o'clock. I needed to go. Aidan must be waiting for me.
The elevator door opened and I stepped in.
My pulses quickened as the elevator rode down. I closed my eyes in an attempt to relax and

Aidan and Elliot were sleeping in their room while I baked a chocolate cake for them in the morning. I put the cake in the refrigerator and turned to the door. I stopped when I heard noises out of the door. I couldn't stop thinking about him. We were going out on a business trip. How would I rein my feelings? He was drawing me closer to him. It scared me. I was feeling messed up. I shook my head. I needed to stop mulling over him. It felt as if I didn't know anything but to think about him. I paced near the window and peeped out. I sucked in a deep breath. My heartbeat began to reverberate in my ears. I blinked. He didn't disappear. 'Geez! I'm not dreaming.' I rushed to the door and jerked it open. H

After a tail of the meetings, we reached a magnificent mansion. The furniture was antique, expensive. Only the household would be in millions. "Is it your home?" I asked as I pulled out my feet from my high heels. My legs and feet were in pain after such a busy day. "It wasn't before. But now it feels," He smirked as he said looking in my direction. My jaw slackened. I shook my head. I needed to concentrate on how to tell him about our son. I still wasn't sure about telling him. But as Jasper had said. I couldn't be cruel. I shouldn't keep his son away from him and a father away from his son. "Jasper told me. You met him." I said. I still didn't know how to reply to him. 'I Love you, ' suited well but I didn't want to lose him before having a piece

He steadied me when I stepped down from his desk. He just held my hand when I stepped out of his car and led me to his office. He began to peel off my clothes. I couldn't resist him. I felt his right over me though, it was my body. He buttoned my blouse, "Carlos," I placed my hand on his heart. It was running under my palm, "Did something happen with Meghan and Carolina?" I asked. I hadn't seen this look on his face before. He let out a small laugh, but it died soon. He boxed me, placing his hands on both sides of me on the desk, "It's urgent. I need to go." He said, levelling himself to me. He didn't answer me. "Go! Where?" My heart began to pound. I didn't imagine a day without seeing him. "Europe, for business." His knuckles

"Yeah! We're going on a picnic tomorrow,'' He said enthusiastically. He jumped on his seat. I giggled and slipped my arms under his arm and picked him up from the counter. He ran to his room as his feet touched the floor. " Aidan, take this," I plucked the plate and glass of milk from the table. He was already looking back at me from the door of his room. I sauntered ahead and put it on the small table, "Don't forget to brush your teeth." I told him. "I will momma," He sat on the blue couch and held the glass with both hands. I bent down and kissed his head, "I'll be back soon." Gleefully, I whirled to collect my laptop and phone. I would stay in his room until he fell asleep. I grabbed the files an

My chest began to rise and fall rapidly. He couldn't take my son away. He gestured at one of his lawyers. His eyes were on me. He didn't pay attention to Jasper. His lawyer stepped ahead. Dominic Black, he was the best lawyer in the state. I couldn't consider it a joke. He handed me a piece of paper. I gripped it with shaking hands and blankly stared at it. My eyes were already wide in shock. I knew he was taking my baby away from me. "You can't be pathetic. He's my family," I said to him, finding my voice. He didn't tell me when did

Carlos's POV "You have an option, Esme." I stared into her shocked eyes, "Come with us. Stay like a family. Or you are going alone without our son and..." I glanced down at her stomach. I would do anything to have her in my life. If she thought I'm a monster. Let her think, "I have the best lawyers. Money isn't a problem for me. You'll give birth to our child. But you won't ever see them." I told her. Tears rippled through the corners of her eyes, slipping in her rosy cheeks, "How could you be so cruel to the mother of your children?" I could feel her anger. I lifted one side of my lips, "The way you are cruel when you keep our son away from me." I tucked her hair behind her ear. I straightened, "You have five minutes to decide

My son was the happiest person to see his father at his side. I was expecting him to freak out, shout, but nothing happened and it was a relief. It was something more barbaric. He easily agreed to go with him. He seemed to forget me in his exaltation. 'Can I stay without Aidan? Can I live without seeing my unborn baby? No! I haven't thought my life without Aidan and.. ' I grabbed the blueprinted gown from the edge of the bed and scurried to the washroom. I changed in it hurriedly. I tucked my hair up in a messy bun, loose curly strands were brushing my cheeks and forehead, sad face, sad eyes. I would be walking dead without my babies. I took a deep sigh and walked to the door. Carlos was waiting leaning against the wall, staring down at his wrist. He lo

We were sitting in a luxurious room, one of his grand hotels. My wedding gown was ivory white, strapless, full A-line. It was a unique piece. I could hardly recognize myself. I blinked at myself and glanced at my children through the mirror. Elisa was hopping on her bare feet while Aidan and Elliot were making a ring of their arms around her. "You should put on your shoes, Elisa. We'll not get cake after the wedding," Elliot said. "I'm eating a lot of cake today," Aidan said, smiling. A glow of happiness spread through me. We were going to start our life together as I always wanted it to as a family. I closed my eyes and breathed slowly and deeply. My veil was simple, cascading down my back, I was having the best hair

She was my wife. Yes, I forced her in. I wouldn't regret it ever. I couldn't ignore the Relief that poured through me. She was mine. She loved me too. Finally, I took the time to push my anger away. I missed seeing her with our baby and a lot more things. She turned. Our gaze locked. Her brown eyes are beautiful. I tucked the long locks of her hair behind her ear, "You need rest," I told her.

I saw him leaning against his car, waiting too patiently. I glanced back at Livia and Lorraine. I was feeling shy like a little girl. After watching Elisa, I could bet no little girl would be shying like me. I pushed back the worried thoughts. "You're looking gorgeous. Now go," Lorraine's voice drifted from behind to me, " "I can understand it's your first date. But he's your husband, " Livia muttered in my ear. I dug my front teeth on my bottom lips, "We should ask Carlos to pick her up.'' Lorraine smiled brightly. " No," I squealed in a whisper. " We should leave them," I heard the click of their high heels. I was wearing sneakers but no one needed to know this. Carlos was crisp grey t-shirt clung to the shape of his torso, and I couldn’t help but sneak a peek at him. He sauntered towa

"He's going to make your day," Livia muttered in my ear. There were soft murmurs in the room. I glanced at the designer, Scarlett and my to-be-mother-in-law. They looked like old friends. But they weren't. Now they were. I grabbed my phone, "Hi," She protested, trying to get my phone back. She sent me a sweet smile, "I didn't see it," Carlos had sent me a picture of a diamond necklace. He purchased it for me. I was going to wear it on our wedding day. "You're staring at the screen for a half hour." I shook my head. My eyes burned painfully with unshed tears but I wasn't going to cry. He was behaving like a perfect husband. And it was quite unbelievable. Was he showing off in front of our families? That could be. I shou

It wasn't hard to figure out that something was wrong. It was looking more than just multivitamins. I glanced at him. 'He loves Aidan. He won't do anything that will endanger our baby.' I held the glass from him and swallowed the pills, "Do you wanna go out for a walk after the shower?" He asked, quietly. "What does the report say? You won't do all this for me. Because you don't care about me." I taunted him. "I haven't forgotten what you did." He squeezed his eyes shut and rubbed his fingers on his forehead, "I didn't mean to upset you,' He added quickly. "Don't keep me in suspension?" I said, giving him a stare. He shook his head and cupped my face. My cheeks flushed. He drew his face closer, but nothing spoke. His thumb was rubbing the side of my cheek, making my skin tingle, "I should check on Aidan. He should be in his bed, "

My mind wasn't where it should be. We were going to wed tomorrow. No one told me what was then rumours spread out there. My family and friends were there. His family was here. "I'm a total mess. My stomach is growing. My wedding dress won't fit me." I complained. "Are you kidding me? You're two months pregnant, not seven or more," Livia rolled her eyes. ' She isn't wrong. I'm just worried.' "Yes, what's troubling you," Lorraine asked. I took a deep breath, "He's still mad at me for hiding." I shrugged. Both exchanged looks and came closer to me. They took me in an embrace.

Livia raised his eyebrows at me to grab my attention. My gaze was resting on my husband. He was saying something to Jasper and Ivan. His lips were curled up into a small smile. 'He's so charming,' "Yes," I asked her. " You're uncharacteristically quiet," She said. "It still feels like a dream to me." I lowered my gaze. I didn't want to hide my feelings from my best friends. 'I can't tell her in which circumstances we got married. But this weekend. He was pretty serious with threats. I don't know whether to be upset and relieved about the wedding. He hasn't talked to me in the loving way he used to talk before. The love in his eyes has hidden behind a storm of rage. A slow smile spread across her fac

" I feel like it’s been ages since we’ve seen you." Livia looked stylish in a green satin dress. "Hi, how's everything?" Scarlett hugged me tightly. Her face broke into a full smile. "Mom, thank you for coming," I hugged her. I glanced back. Jasper and Harry weren't around. I pulled back. Her hand cupped my cheek. " He's with Jonathan. I'm glad for you." I tried to grope the sadness in her eyes which I always saw after my divorce. I smiled. She had accepted our wedding. Lorraine stood from the couch and hugged me. She was also wearing a blue satin dress, "You look nervous." She said, I hugged her back, " I am." Livia winked at me. Ivan was also not visible in the hall, "How's Jasper taking this and dad?" I asked. &n

I picked a red satin gown for me with strips. It was a simple but elegant gown giving my body a mermaid look. The door creaked as it opened behind me. I placed my hand over my chest and looked over my shoulder. Heat crawled my cheeks, "You should knock," I said, taking a deep breath. "My bride is shy," He smiled, finding happiness in the designation. I wouldn't say happiness. He forced this wedding on me. I still couldn't believe that I'm married. I couldn't pay the price, going away from the people I loved. I couldn't obliterate what I had done. He could be harsher, but he was still sweet. I glanced at the mirror back. He stopped behind me. His hand brushed my back as he glided the zip up, taking his time. "I could be shy. But n
