SJ went back to the living room, undoing the top two buttons of his shirt and sat down. He massaged the back of his neck lightly to ease some tension. After admitting to himself that he is in love with Elli, the thought of losing her worries him.
“So, what are we looking at?” He finally asked. “What’s your take, Nigel?”
“The most obvious is now that your marriage to her is consider illegal since she was just seventeen,” Nigel answered seriously. “Unless there’s consent from the mother but it’s highly doubtful since she died when Elli was just ten. If Mike Porter was able to attain guardianship thru court order, then it’s easier to deal with. Elliot Grande will still contest it though. He might even allege that he kidnapped his wife and daughter.”
“He has guardianship over Elli,” SJ’s dad answered, placing a folder on the center table

Elli opened her eyes and adjusted her eyesight to the dimness of her and SJ’s room. She turned her body towards the center of the bed and found SJ’s side empty. Her eyes traveled towards the clock, it read ten o’clock in the evening.She slowly sat up and realized that SJ had undressed her office attire. She reached for her robe that he must have placed at the foot of the bed and put it on.Before she decided to get up, her eyes had traveled towards the box that SJ’s parents had brought with them a while ago. Just seeing the box immediately had tears forming at her eyes and she brushed them away furiously.She finally stood up after drinking the glass of water that her husband thoughtfully left for her and walked towards the box. She looked down at in quietly, staring at the contents for a while.“You need to face this, Elli,” she told herself. “Only the truth shall set you free.”Elli turned and walk

With only the light from the lamp on the table, SJ turned away from looking out through the window in his study and sat back on the chair behind his desk and placed his glass of whiskey down. He leaned his head back, closing his eyes and tried to clear his mind.He wants to think straight on the strategy he will take once his lawyer will receive the case that Elliot Grande will be filing against him. He’s sure that before the week will end, the case will be in motioned.He also had to tell Elli that he loves her.Thirty minutes since his parents had taken off, he called on his mother and requested for something. After giving instructions to Sam and William, he followed them by driving on his own. By the time he returned to the villa, it was already late in the evening. He was glad that there was no incident, and that Elli didn’t wake up.SJ quietly opened the door to see her sleeping on the bed but was surprised to find her sitting on the floo

As SJ had hoped, Elli agreed with his suggestion that they will stay for the rest of the week in the villa. HE called Debra and told her to bring all urgent documents to where he is and that he will be joining meetings online. He also told Elli to do the same thing with her staff, which she immediately did.He had also told her about the impending filing of case that Elliot Grande is doing the moment they woke up late in the morning of the following day.Elli only nodded in response.“Let’s just wait until Nigel receives the summon,” she finally said softly, cuddling against him.SJ ran his hands along her body since she is spoon fashion against him. He cupped her breast gently and made her nipple grow hard beneath his hand. He dropped light kisses on her neck, and he let out a low growl when he felt his arousal pressed against her bottom.“You’re something else, Elli,” he said, easing her legs apart after feelin

All good things, as such, would always come to an end.Elli was glad that SJ agreed when she requested if they could stay another week at the villa. SJ was called to an urgent meeting last Saturday on another project and had to drive back into the city. After telling her about it, she assured him that she will be fine and will just remained in the villa.While she was alone, Elli decided to go through the journals again. Her husband had the box transferred to the other room so she wouldn’t get upset every time she sees it. Since she had nothing to do, she made up her mind and went inside the room after telling William where she will be.She sat down on the floor and took one journal that belongs to her dad. Her dad doesn’t record most of the time. Elli had summed up that he will write if anything important or significant happens.*November 28, 2004Just had a sweet victory from my Italy race and planned to head home to the count

March 10, 2006 I officially hang up my racer’s uniform. Yesterday was my last day as the main racer for KED. Everybody was a bit disappointed on my decision to retire early. They keep on saying that I am still in my prime and could get more wins in the next few years. It’s hard for them to understand if I tell them the real reason why I decided to retire early. The decision was because of those two persons waiting for me back home at the country. I don’t know how it came to be, but suddenly, those two had made my house a home. It’s nice to wake up everyday with the sun hitting through the window and getting up to smell the coffee and hear something frying. Alyssa became a good cook overtime and I remembered last year during Elli’s birthday her chicken pasta was raved about by Elli’s guests. She made sure all my clothes are clean and looks after me well, making sure that I will never miss out on my vitamins. She’s like a wife, but who’s not one, taking

SJ gripped his phone after talking with William. He turned to Sam, who handed him the tablet, which now shows a live broadcast from the channel, NEWS TODAY, with their anchorwoman from the entertainment segment.“I’m here currently live at the gate of Sebastien Kincaid’s villa where the duchess-in-waiting and wife, Ellisande Porter is staying,” she said firmly. She pointed at the house. “We have no sighting of Mrs. Kincaid, but we can confirm with the security being heightened, Lady Ellisande is here.”“As we all recently known, Mr. Kincaid had ended his relationship with supermodel Carmela Steinfeld a few months ago. She even claimed that she was pregnant with SJ’s child but unfortunately she miscarried,” she continued. “Elli Porter was only known during that scandalous scenario that Ms. Steinfeld initiated where it was revealed that she is married to the young billionaire.”“Cassie, has SJ

Elli sat quietly on the couch as she read through the statement that the PR team had prepared for them. It has been three hours since SJ told her what they need to do for now and she has finally informed him that she’s ready.She changed into an off-white crepe, vest with a wrap silhouette and gold buttons at the shoulders. She also put on a simple strappy sandal and wore the jewelry her mother gave. She tied her hair into a half ponytail and applied light make-up.“You’re beautiful as always,” SJ admired with a smile. He buttoned his polo shirt except for the top two and tucked them neatly in his pants. He put on his coat and Elli immediately straighten it out. “Do you know that I had envision you doing this to me?”Elli smiled up at him.“Thank you for telling me,” She answered as she straightened his collar. “Next time, I’ll do your tie as well when this is all over.”SJ tilted he

“I think it’s all an act in my opinion,” Joana Collins, a talk show host said smugly. “The body language says it all! She was stiff all throughout her dramatic statement on TV! It was totally scripted! Sweetheart, you’re going to become a duchess. What more are you asking for?!”“Just take note of the hair. The make-up and the outfit she’s wearing!” She continued to lambast openly. “SJ Kincaid is beside her to make sure she says the correct things in front of the camera! We all know how controlling that man is! Where else will he get it from?!”SJ turned the TV off, his eyes hard and cold. It was Monday morning and her appearance on TV had positive and negative feedbacks. It is still on top of the news since weekend. He turned to Elli, who is sitting beside him and remaining silent. He placed a hand on her clasped hands and gave her an assured smile.“Don’t mind Joana Collins,” h

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.

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.

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
