‘Damn!’ Hunter cursed in his mind. ‘Why such bad timing? I cannot even convince myself to feel sorry for what I was about to do. Am I becoming a really bad person?’
When nobody seemed willing to answer his question, Simon posed another one. “What are the three of you doing together?”
Christine took in the gloominess crossing his usually cheerful features, and it instantly made her feel like a villain in his story. She did remember how the one he loved in the past betrayed him. And though she did not believe he held such great feelings for her as well, he was not deserving of the poor treatment from her side.

The atmosphere was wrapped into an awkward silence for the first two or three glasses of cocktails, none of them uttering a word. Moreover, they stared blankly, each of them undeniably deeply trapped inside their heads with their own demons. “Can I get you anything more?” The waiter smiled while asking them, but no response came. Caressing his chin, Simon asked Martha. “Maybe… we should go?” A single tear rolled on her cheek. “You can leave. I’m staying.” She then glanced at the waiter. “Please keep the cocktails coming.” The waiter’s gaze landed on Simon to receive a silent approval and he probably gave it, as it took a few minutes to return with another set of colorful drinks. “Why are you still here?” She locked

Why was that? To Jake’s surprise, there was not much activity at all.He didn’t dismiss the idea that the man discovered his little trick, therefore, he had to act as soon as possible. On the grounds of that, he decided to contact him.[“I’d like to meet you. I’m a friend of Christine Carter, I believe you remember me.”]He stared at the phone waiting for a reply. ‘Would he even text me back? Better not hold my breath.&rsquo

Christine was having a twinge of conscience, pacing back and forth in her room. Her frame was slightly shivering, her moment of weakness from earlier generating doubts now.‘What have I gotten myself into? Should I back out?’It was an impulse that drove her to write him a text, the same impulse that for some unknown reasons, against her will, always traveled to him when she needed comfort.But what about Simon? Why didn’t she at least wait until the next day? They had a lunch appointment where she planned to clear things out. The guilt was eating her raw.She was about to text Hunter, determined to cancel their outing when she received a message from him with the dress code, causing her to change her mind, again.

‘I love you…’ Those three magic words made her heart stop, then drum in her chest with an unhealthy force and rhythm for the poor organ. Without her knowledge, her frame started to shiver.

He declared he wanted to spend his lifetime with her, and a lifetime seemed like such a long time. As much as it was painful for her to admit it, she was in love with him as well. Yet the things she hid from him, those things would turn his love for her into hate in a mere second. She could not risk him to find out, it would be unbearable pain for her, an awful torture to watch how those loving eyes turn into accusing, loathing ones while glancing at her. She was strong, but was she strong enough to handle the s

Martha repeatedly blinked in utter disbelief, her heart threatening to explode in her chest, she could not comprehend the situation. “Simon!” She shouted hysterically, pulling at his arm in a rather violent manner. His upper body was naked and she was wearing his shirt. What if she were to remove the sheets covering his lower part and see him in all his glory bareness? Beyond the shadow of a doubt, she would never do such a thing! At least, not while she was sober. While intoxicated… that might have been another case entirely. The mere thought made her gulp down the lump in her throat with difficulty. “Ahh, let me sleep! You kept me up all night!” He reached for a pillow and pressed it over his head. ‘I kept him up all night? Oh dammit, what did I do?!’ She snatched the pillow, shaking at the abominable thought of sleeping with him. “Get up! NOW!

The mere idea that a ruthless man like Markus could be her biological father, Jake’s dire encounter with him that frightened her to the bones, as well as working for multiple projects took a toll on her. She needed a distraction, that’s why she texted Hunter the previous night. And that text led to a long night of love making.

On top of it, nobody gave her the right to strain the relationship between the two brothers. ‘I must be a really bad person. Maybe I deserve those awful things that happened to me in the past! And it’s not even the first time that I made bad decisions regarding men!’ Simon and Hunter only had each other, just like she had only Ethan. And Loukas, for he was there for her in the last years.

Unbearable silence was engulfing the room, there were only Christine, Hunter and Loukas left. Elenora was practically dragged outside by the police, while she shouted and threatened all the way to the car. Christine believed that watching Elenora in predicament would bring her fulfillment, but it was not like that.

A low moan sounded in his chest, it was all the approval he needed in order to ravish her, to appease the hunger that screamed to be gratified. Intoxicated with lust, their hands were roaming freely on each other’s body, while their tongues battled for dominance. Erotic moans filled the room, and they didn’t even start the love making session properly.It was just the warm up. There was no more reluctance, only complete surrender to their sexual cravings, their need for each other. It was when Hunter settled his manhood to her entrance that they suddenly stiffened. There was some noise outside the room. Footsteps. Then the door opened widely and a small silhouette appeared near the bed. Rubbing his eyes, he climbed into the bed, his eyes darted from his mommy to his daddy in confusion. It was the nightmare of any parents, to be caught red handed by their child. Good thing that they were covered by the sheets. “Mommy, w

Christine made several attempts in reaching Hunter, but his phone was off, her calls going directly to voicemail. ‘Weird. I hope everything is fine.’ Pacing the room, making holes in the floor, the tension was building up inside, eating her alive. What if something happened? He should have delivered her child by now. Her intuition told her that something was off. Or maybe she was just nervous, it was understandable, after all she went through. In the wake of such an excruciating day, she needed to have Ethan in her arms, he was her most prized possession, her pride and joy. Stealing glances through the window from time to time, she finally spotted Hunter getting out of the car, then scooping a sleepy handsome boy in his arms. The boy’s small arms locked behind his daddy’s neck. It was an image that pulled at her heartstrings, sweet and sour at the same time. She breathed a sigh of relief, the claw that was squeezing her hea

For a few good seconds, it seemed as if time stopped for Hunter. Air was suddenly kicked out of his lungs, he even forgot how to breathe. His chest tightened as he fought with the suffocating sensation.His mind was a mess, his thoughts all over the place, experiencing a roller-coaster of sensations.‘Martha lied to me all our life together!’‘Christine might have lied to me as well…’‘This child in front of me is possibly mine...’His eyes shut close. ‘Who am I kidding?

Left by herself, Elenora sneered, staring at the text from Christine with a sulky expression.‘Take all my money? How dare that wretched girl threaten me? It’s more likely for hell to freeze than her winning against me!’A vein became visible on her forehead, as if cutting it in half, while her entire demeanor was turning murderous. ‘I’d rather kill her with my own two hands than lose this battle!’Glaring at the phone angrily, she typed [“Aren’t you afraid that I will reveal who is the father of that devil kid of yours?”]‘I know all your weaknesses, Christine! Each and every one of your vulnerabilities are within my reach! You should be scared of me! You damn should!’She was looking forward to the reply, but to her enjoyment, it didn’t come through.
