“Car is here,” Archibald remarked a few minutes later. He handed Betty to her nanny and patiently waited for his car to stop. He opened the car door and gestured to Elli. “You go in, first. I’ll sit on the front.”
“Are you sure?” She asked in surprise. “It won’t be a bother.”
“Yes,” he assured with a sincere smile. “Go on in It’s just a short ride from here.”
Before Elli could put one foot inside the black Range Rover, someone grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her forcefully away. She gasped in surprise, turning to whoever pulled her and looked up into the cold, hard eyes of her husband. She stared

SJ placed down his coffee cup the following day and stood up, folding the newspaper that he is reading. He went back to his room just in time for Carmela to stepped out from the shower.“Good morning,” she greeted with a smile.She laughed when SJ grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to him, kissing her neck deliciously.“I’m getting your suit wet,” she giggled as she clung to him.“I still have some clothes here for sure,” he responded as he loosened his tie while his other hand is running down her body wrapped in a soft towel. “Just tell the housekeeper to send this to the cleaners later.”“You’re insatiable,” she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his head down for a kiss while her towel dropped on the floor. “And, I like it. Here’s to your first day after turning twenty-nine.”SJ grinned as he pushed her towards the bed, fall

Elli entered the Vault of Arts Museum late that afternoon and smiled cordially at the receptionist who greeted. She was thankful that all the employees were given an early off and with the holidays on the first two days of the following week, all were heading off to their planned outings or vacations. Elli graciously declined an invite for a weekend getaway planned by her staff. She instead gave them a budget for their food and gas, which they profusely thanked her.“Hello. I’m Elli Porter,” she introduced herself formally while showing her ID. “I received a call from Ms. Hannah Adams with regards to the painting that I submitted last time.”“I’ll give her a call, Ms. Porter,” the receptionist answered and put the receiver on her ear. “Hello, Ms. Adams. This is Taylor from reception. I have Ms. Elli Porter here in front of me and mentioned that she received a call from you.”“Very well, Ma’a

When Elli thought that she will handle her husband’s wrath in time, she was thinking in the near future. She never thought that it will be happening in a matter of minutes. She stood rooted to her spot when she entered the glass house with Ronald, smiling warmly up at him but it vanished when she saw her husband.She looked at him and could see anger radiating from his body. As a painter, she had immediately visualized him sitting in a throne of angry flames. Just the thought of that made her thought of the beauty her husband is projecting.She immediately shook her head, discarding what she is thinking. The thought of the pictures of her husband she saw in Carmela’s social media, made her raised her chin up defiantly and looked at him evenly. Something that the women had noticed that made them smile.“Sorry to keep you waiting,” Ronald apologized with a grin. He took Elli’s hand casually and entwined his fingers with hers. “I

SJ picked up the document that he is reading inside his room in his apartment late in the evening when he arrived home from Le Bernardin. His secretary messaged him that she was finally able to gather all the documents that he was asking yesterday and had it sent to his apartment. Carmela had called him hours ago and asked him to come over, but he declined and abruptly ended the call. It was the first time that he did that ever since they started going out and he didn’t feel any remorse on his action. She knew that he was out of his friends but didn’t join them even if SJ had asked her to. He knew that she doesn’t get along with them well. His friends had never liked her ever since they started going out. But he was glad tonight that she did not because he had no idea that Ronald will be bringing Elli with him as his date. He suspected that Florence had something to do it but didn’t point it out. The thought of Elli smiling up at Ronald earlier this evening m

Elli took a seat on the parking bench the following day, leaving the apartment as early as she can when she woke up for her safety from her husband’s wrath. She knew that cancelling his call late last night when Ronald had finally dropped her off, was the last straw. She even expected him come knocking that night but was surprised that he did not come.She knew he was angry but somehow, she didn’t feel any guilt for what she had done last night. She had enough of feeling sorry for herself as well as his philandering ways. If he can be as bold as that, then she will also do the same especially the public doesn’t know about their marriage yet.“I hope I wasn’t too forward a while ago,” Ronald apologized as he set down the coffee, he ordered for her. He then gave her a sheepish grin. “But I always find delight in making Kincaid lose his temper.”“What do you mean?” She asked carefully.“I know

Elli woke up to a light touch on her cheek and she slowly opened her eyes. She sat up abruptly when she realized that her head was on SJ’s lap. She brushed her hair away from her face and looked at him sternly.“You looked uncomfortable,” he reasoned innocently. “I had no choice. I don’t have a pillow with me here for you to sleep on.”“Have we arrived?” She asked instead as she sat up straight, looking out the window.“We just arrived,” SJ answered remotely as he opened the car door and went out. He offered his hand to her and gently assisted her out. “I had breakfast ordered. It’s best you eat first.”Elli remained on her spot when SJ immediately walked off towards the villa.“This way please, Madam,” Stuart Hansen, the bodyguard, who has been tailing her, said formally.She followed him quietly, going down the wide steps carefully. She stopped at one

SJ watched from the back in his car as his wife dropped on the ground when her legs finally gave way. She supported herself with her palms on the pavement and finally saw her let out a cry of anguish just as the rain poured down. Her cries reached his ears.“Shall we get her, Sir?” Stuart asked with concern, who is on the front seat. “The rain might get stronger. Madam might catch a cold.”“Give her a few minutes more,” SJ answered calmly.He expected her reaction to his discovery. He was prepared for it and had even readied himself in the event she will react violently. What he wasn’t prepared of, was the anguished pain he felt in his heart when she reacted on what he said. He saw the way her eyes clouded with questions and uncertainties. She was shaking her head at the thought that the man she knows as her father could not be the real one.“Call Newman back at the villa and have all available towels at the

Perhaps it was the alcohol talking or the mood that the heavy downpour is giving them. Dark skies and rain falling continuously on the roof, the sound in rhythm with the beating of his heart.All SJ know is that he has been desiring for his wife for quite some time ever since he stayed that night in her apartment after she had fainted.Elli had slowly and unintentionally made her own way into his being especially when she started defying and showing her rebellious nature. He had never liked his woman to be timid. Her refusal in bending to his will most of the time is probably one of the main reasons for his fatal attraction to her. He tried getting rid of that by spending more time with Carmela. His mistress as what she had boldly told him. But the more he spends time with his lover, the more he is longing to for his young wife.SJ looked down at his wife and with an inward groan, he placed a hand under her chin and tilted her face up. He lowered his lips to her

7 Years Later… SJ looked up from the contract document that he is reviewing inside his office at the sound of his two sons, squealing and laughing at the game they are playing with their playmates. He smiled at the sound of them enjoying the sunny afternoon. After scanning through the document one more time, he finally signed on his name indicated below and closed the folder and putting it on his outgoing tray. He stood up and walked towards the glass door that will lead him out to where his sons are. He stood there for a while and watched as seven-year-old Michael run happily while holding a giant pinwheel in his one hand as his younger brother Alexander Philip, who just turned five last month, was running after him, clapping happily. Their nannies were keeping a close watch on them while he saw William arranging the long table outside by the pool with Cherry and two more helpers. “My turn!” Alexander exclaimed as he pointed at the pinwheel.

Elli leaned on the bed that night two months after she got out of the hospital and watched as SJ continued swaying their baby and humming lightly to get him to sleep. The look on his face squeezed her heart so tight, the look of pure love visible on his face. It's been two months since that eventful night. Who would have thought that something dreadful and dangerous had led to something much more memorable with the birth of their son? Michael Elliot Kincaid. Elli could feel tears in her eyes when SJ told her the name that he wants for their first born. The name is not from someone in his family but from hers. She remembered hugging him so tight that he had thought of Michael Porter. She was planning to use that name on their future children. “Well, if it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have gotten married in the first place,” SJ pointed out with a smile. He gave her a long kiss. “I told your dad about it, and he was more than happy about it. I also discus

SJ watched, with tears in his eyes as the baby was finally laid on Elli’s arms and she lovingly cuddled him, looking down at him with so much love in her eyes. The baby is continuing to cry in his mother’s arms.“Hi, baby,” Elli whispered softly, rocking him gently. The baby, somehow felt familiar with the voice that is soothing him, started to lower his cries. “Mommy’s here. I’m so happy to see you. I love you so much, sweetheart. You just made me the happiest person, right now.”Elli turned towards him and smiled up at him widely.“I love you,” SJ said as he kissed her head gently and his one hand shakily touch the top of the head of his first-born. He could feel tears running down his face. “Hello, son. Daddy’s here now.”The two looked down at their baby lovingly, just feeling the joyful moment it brings them.“I hate to interrupt this moment, guys, but I need y

Elli finally stood up, holding on to the grab rails, from the bowl after she finally relieved herself and pulled up her underwear carefully. She winced a bit when she felt a pain on her lower back as well as her belly. She turned to flush down the toilet and noticed that she had a pinkish discharge on the bowl, and she took note of that for her next appointment with Paige.“Marissa, do you have my phone?” She called out softly. “I’ll call SJ and tell him that I want to go upstairs to the room and rest. I don’t feel like going back to the function anymore.”“Yes, Madam,” Marissa answered softly. “I’ll have your phone ready when you come out.”Elli heard the door to the bathroom open when she had another pain shot up her belly. She massaged her stomach gently, breathing slowly and calmly. After a few minutes, she finally decided to unlock the door of the stall that she occupied.“Do you

SJ looked at his watch for the fourth time and looked towards the doorway and waiting for Elli to appear back from the bathroom. He is tapping his hand lightly on his leg, a motion that his mother had accidentally saw when she turned to receive her wine.“Is something wrong, dear?” Mrs. Kincaid asked in concern.“Elli’s not yet back from the bathroom,” he answered calmly.“Give her another two minutes, dear,” she replied, putting a hand on his and squeezed it lightly. “It usually takes a little longer for pregnant women.”SJ nodded and pulled out his phone. He dialed Stu’s number and waited for the bodyguard to answer his phone. He grimaced and cursed silently when his call went unanswered. He pressed the number again and still his call went unanswered.He looked up and motioned to Sam.“Yes, sir?”“Please check on my wife,” he whispered straightly. &l

SJ held Elli’s hand as he gently assisted her down the Range Rover late Friday afternoon in the driveway, fronting The Grande Duchess Hotel, who is fully lighted for its inauguration. He made sure that her dress behind is flowing neatly.“Thanks,” Elli said with a smile and her hand automatically went to her stomach, which is now round and big. “Do you have my jacket?”He nodded as he placed them around her shoulders.Elli is now nine-months pregnant and in a few days will be giving birth to their baby.A son.SJ couldn’t hide his happiness when during their gender reveal, the baby is a boy. He wouldn’t mind having a girl as well and he will make sure that after a few years, he will be having one.Both of their families as well as their friends were overjoyed by the news. Piles of gifts started arriving at their home and Elli was shaking her head in amusement when SJ had converted one of the guest ro

Elli hugged her grandmother after the wedding ceremonies were over as well as the picture taking was completed. As instructed by SJ and getting her consent, they allowed one official photo by photographer be uploaded by the wedding organizer that SJ had hired. It created a buzz online the moment it was uploaded. “I can’t believe you came all the way here, Grams,” Elli said with a smile after giving her a kiss on the cheek. “I’m so happy that you’re here. As well as with you, Grandpa and Uncle.” She then hugged them both. Elli was glad that she decided to go overseas and see her mother’s family last year. She spent most of her time with her grandfather, who she knew was a hard man based on her mother’s journals as well as from her father. It took her a while but finally, she was able to convince him that she will lead the life that she wants. “That man better take care of you, Ellisande,” Phillip Montagu said seriously as he hugged her tightly.

SJ watched lovingly as Elli stood at the end of aisle while Luisa, Paige and Jasmine helped put on the veil that was included in the dress that he had custom-made for her. He saw her smile widely when she was handed the bouquet of flowers made of peonies, tulips, and roses with some lush greens.That night when Elli had told him about their baby where he couldn’t sleep, he decided to give her a surprise.He will marry her all over again.With their wedding anniversary coming up in less than two weeks, he had to pull a lot of strings to make everything happen. He sought the help of his mother, his and her friends, Debra, and her father, who he called overseas that same night.He had to pay a big amount just to get Le Bernardin to say yes to his plan because the place has been known to never accept any occasions. He had to rely on his biggest connection and that was Elli’s grandfather, who he finally got to talk to a few days ago.SJ was

SJ gently pulled a sleeping Elli to him and watched her snuggle automatically closer to him. He dropped a soft kiss on her forehead and just continued watching.He could not sleep even after making love to her.He just can’t. Not after getting the best news in his life.“I’m going to be a dad?” He asked when he finally stood up. “You’re not joking, right?”Elli shook her head with a smile, tears running down her cheeks. “This is supposed to be my surprise for you once we get to Le Bernardin,” she answered as she took the ultrasound photos from him and looked down at it lovingly. “But I got upset when I saw you pull those brakes.”SJ chuckled as he placed both hands on her face.“I knew you can make it to top five when you were still practicing,” she said softly. She placed her hands on his as well and smiled through tears. “I watched the replay of the race be
