Thank you for reading.
SOPHIA. A soft gasp escaped my lips as we stepped into the hotel's garden. The “afterparty” seemed more like a banquet or a birthday party for some prominent figure. The garden was decorated with twinkling fairy lights that were hung above in elegant arcs, casting a soft golden glow over the entire area. A few tables were separated by a path which was flanked by tall vases that were filled with white roses, leading to a canopy which stood near the end of the garden. It was draped in sheer white fabric, fluttering gently with the soft breeze. Lanterns were strategically hung on each post, the faint glow illuminating the area beneath the canopy. I frowned in confusion, looking around as waiters moved from table to table, serving everyone glasses of champagne and some light snacks.“What’s going on?” I asked, looking up at Lucas, whose expression was unreadable. He shrugged, leading me to a table where I could see his father and a few of his friends. “I think Dad hijacked our afterp
LUCAS. My breath caught in my throat, the beating of my heart pounding in my ears like a drum.It was rare for me to get nervous.I had led so many meetings... stood before crowds of prominent figures... I had dined with presidents and collaborated with officials on local projects... but I had never felt the kind of nerves I was feeling in that moment.I’ve always wanted to give Sophia a romantic proposal and arrange a grand wedding for her.It had always been my dream to one day watch her- the woman I love, my queen and my oxygen- walk down the aisle in a custom-made wedding dress of her dreams, coming to me, ready to receive my vows.I took in a sharp breath, looking into her welled-up eyes.She had not said anything yet, and that silence was the source of the knots twisting in my stomach.Would she say yes?I hope so...There was nothing I wanted more than to show the whole world that she was the woman I had chosen to spend the rest of my life with.“Soph, I’m not a perfect man. I’
SOPHIA. The cool breeze brushed against my skin, carrying the scent of the ocean.I stood by the bow, my fingers wrapped smoothly around the railing as I stared at the faint lights a few miles ahead- an indication that we were about to reach the island. Warm, strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind, and a man’s scent seeped into my nose.A smile crossed my lips. I didn’t have to turn to see who was holding me.His scent, his touch, the feel of his body against mine... I could be blindfolded, but I could still know it’s him.My husband, Lucas Hart.I leaned back into him, my hands falling on his.“A trip to an island, huh? I thought we were going to the club or something,” I said, loving the way it felt to be held in his arms.I may still have things I needed to achieve, but so far, life was perfect with Lucas by my side. Lucas leaned down and gently nibbled on my earlobe.I bit my lip as a jolt of electricity rushed down my spine.“It’s a celebration trip before we become bu
SOPHIA.I bit my lower lip, seeing white dots in my vision from the intense pleasure. Lucas slowed his movements, making light circles on my clit as if he wanted me to savour the moment. And then he sped up, focusing on my clit and rubbing harder, making a sharp jolt of pleasure flare through me.I couldn’t hold myself back.My hips moved on their own... riding his fingers for more stimulation.Pleasure kept flaring through me like I was being hit by thunderbolts every passing second."Oh yeah! Luca, that's it!" I cried out.It was so intense. So wild...I felt like every part of my body was sensitive.Lucas kept rubbing my clit, moving in circular motions, stimulating the whole bean and my eyes rolled back at the otherworldly pleasure that seared through me.My whole body trembled, my core clenched and ached pleasurably.It felt so good, I didn’t want it to stop.Alas, good things always come to an end.My body stilled as an earth-shattering orgasm seared through me.“Oh Luca... tha
LUCAS. “Are… we… really… going… to… do it… all night?” Sophia asked breathlessly while I pounded into her from behind. She was pressed against the full-length mirror, and we watched ourselves as I ploughed into her harder and deeper, each thrust eliciting sounds from her that were like music to my ears. I grabbed her neck, wrapping a hand around her waist before pulling her slightly away from the mirror so she could see herself fully.“Of course, we will do it all night. We made a bet, remember?” I replied, my voice low and deep as I thrust in and out of her, pleasure coursing through me like a tidal wave. “Besides, just look at how you look as I fuck you, my love. You look like you're enjoying this. Do you really want me to stop?” I reached for her breasts and massaged them, squeezing the nipples before trapping them between my fingers. Fuck… she had the most perfect boobs. And they were all mine. With her back arched, she pushed back into me, meeting my powerful thrusts with he
CASPIAN. “Have you sorted out the problem?” I asked one of my men on the phone, my eyebrows furrowed in worry. “Sir… I’m sorry, we’ve failed to trace the murderer,” Justin reported.I clenched my fists. This was bad… with a murderer on the loose, Lucas and his wife would be in danger. Two days ago, I had received good news from one of the men who were investigating Lucas’s mother’s death. They had found out who the real culprit was and just needed to secure the proof. The proof was Lucas’s former nanny… she had agreed to testify and reveal the killer if we promised to keep her safe. The only condition was that she would only mention the killer's name once she was certain that her family wouldn't be harmed. We were in the process of moving her family to a safer place. I had even instructed a few of my men to stay with them until all this was over. However, the nanny, including the man who had found her, was killed mysteriously. I couldn’t tell Lucas about it because of his plans
SOPHIA. My eyes fluttered open, and the moment I moved, I felt like I had been hit by a truck. A small moan escaped my lips, flashes from last night rushing through my mind’s eye. We went at it like rabbits. In the end, I was the first to pass out. I could tell how hard we went at it from the aches in my body. It was like we were trying to make a baby. I tried to move, but realised there was something hard inside of me…My eyes widened.It seems I had slept off with Lucas’ dick still in my core. His strong arms were holding me as he spooned me, the warmth from his body seeping into me. “Good morning,” Lucas’s deep voice reached my ears, and I raised my head, turning to look up at him, my face burning. I bit my bottom lip. “Morning.” Lucas smirked, reaching over to tuck some of my hair behind my ear. “Tell me what –”“You won the bet. What do you want?” We spoke at the same time, and my eyes widened. What did he mean I won the bet? I clearly passed out first before him…“No, I
SOPHIA. “I’m so hungry!” Alice exclaimed as we walked towards the long wooden table that was set on the beach.The sun had set below the horizon, casting a golden-red glow over the ocean. We had already changed into dry clothes when we got called for dinner at the beach. I looked around, loving the set-up. Lanterns hung from nearby trees, illuminating the table that was laden with grilled seafood, roasted vegetables and lots of other foods. “You'd be hungry after all that screaming. Jeez, I thought someone was trying to kill you or something,” Caspian remarked, earning a glare from his sister. “Are you even my brother?” She questioned. “How could you splash water at me like that? I’ll tell Dad and Mom that you bullied me on this trip.” “What are you? Five?” Caspian asked, laughing. “Go ahead… they are going to tell you to get a husband instead.”“You–” Alice fumed. She rushed towards Wilson and grabbed his arm. “I already have a husband. This one.”We all froze. Dead silence fell
VIOLET. I clenched my hands into fists, jealousy rushing through me as I watched Lucas effortlessly pay two million dollars for a custom-made wedding dress for Sophia. The smile on her face was so irritating, I wished I could wipe it off her stupid face. It was supposed to be me getting this type of love and attention. This was the very reason I snatched Elias from Sophia. I thought he would spoil me beyond measure. Everyone thought he gave me the money he stole from the Adams Group, but in reality, I’ve never even seen a cent from the missing hundred million dollars. In his defence, he said he was buying a new villa for us since the one we were staying in once belonged to him and Sophia. However, that was a lie. I had never seen any house papers. He's the only one who knew where he took that money. As it turned out, I had shot myself in the foot. Elias was stingy as fuck. We came here to buy a wedding dress, but the moment he heard there was a second-hand wedding dress being
SOPHIA.“I’m surprised you can still walk after how hard I fucked you this morning,” Lucas whispered in my ear when we walked into a bridal store, my face burning at his words. Indeed, he was like a beast that had been unleashed from its cage this morning. I had to soak in warm water to soothe the ache between my legs. But I wasn’t complaining. It felt like heavenly bliss. "For a man who's been too overprotective recently, you sure didn't hold back," I teased. "Baby, the doctor said exercising is good for you. Sex is the easiest exercise," Lucas replied before whispering. "Fuck, thinking about the sex we had this morning has just made me hard. I want you again."A chuckle escaped my lips just as a man who seemed to be in his thirties approached us. He was dressed in a light blue designer suit, and he had short, dark hair which was slicked back with gel. “Hello, my darling, how can I help you?” He asked me, his voice soft and cheery. “Are you looking for a wedding dress?” I nodded
LUCAS. A groan escaped my lips, feeling intense pleasure rush through me just as my eyes snapped open. I found myself lying on my back, and my wife who had been sleeping in my arms was kneeling between my legs, sucking my cock like it was the best thing she'd ever tasted. My eyes slightly widened. “Soph, you–” I threw my head back as electric currents seared through me, hissing when she twirled her tongue around the tip of my rod. “Fuck, baby.” I never thought it would feel so good to wake up with my dick in Sophia’s warm mouth. But it did. So very fucking much. I swear, I could get used to this. This was the best breakfast in bed ever. “Oh fuck yeah… that’s it, baby,” I groaned, meeting her eyes as she looked up at me.I loved the way she looked right now. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, a few strands framing her beautiful face. Her lips were stretched to the limit, wrapped around my cock like it was a giant lollipop. Her eyes were watery, probably stinging from the pressu
SOPHIA.“Dad, seriously? Do those look like cat clothes to you?” Lucas asked, throwing his head back in laughter. “What? They are not?” Steven glanced at the onesie again, his brows creasing. “They are too small for me, though. Are you sure this is the gift you got for me?”This time, I joined Lucas in laughter, the sound echoing around the room. We laughed so hard that we almost lost our voices. “Old man, you sure know how to ruin a surprise,” I said, wiping the tears from the corner of my eyes. I hadn’t laughed so hard in a while. “What, I ruined it?” He asked, turning the onesie this way and that until his eyes fell on the message on the front. His eyebrows almost touched his hairline as he read the message out loud. “Hello, grandpa. See you soon!” He glanced at us, his eyes rounding in shock. “You two are pregnant?” “You finally got it, Dad. I was starting to wonder if you were too old to catch on,” Lucas murmured, a smirk playing on his lips. “You’re about to be a grandpa a
SOPHIA. “Look at them. So adorable, I can't believe we made these,” Lucas said, holding the ultrasound image like it was more precious than gold. Well, this gift was greater than any treasure for us. A miracle.We were on our way back to the villa, and Lucas hadn’t stopped staring at the ultrasound image since we left the hospital. A smile crossed my lips when I saw the way his eyes gleamed with happiness. Lucas wanted to share the news with his father the moment we left the hospital, but I came up with a more fun way to give Steven the news that he would be a grandfather again. “Who do you think they will look like?” Lucas asked, still studying the image like he would see the answer there. He was like a child who had just gotten his first toy car. His face was beaming with pride and wonder. A smile crossed my lips. “I don’t know. Since there are three, one can look like you and the other like me. The third one can look like the both of us,” I replied, glancing at the ultrasoun
LUCAS. “You are already pregnant, Mrs Hart.” My breath caught in my throat, and I heard a small gasp escape Sophia’s lips. I glanced at the dark-haired doctor, my heart pounding at a thousand miles per second. “What did you just say?” I asked. Doctor Natalie smiled. “I said you two didn’t need this checkup at all. You’re both in good shape for conception. We have to do an ultrasound scan to check the baby. But the blood tests show that you two are going to be parents soon.” I froze. Her words replayed in my head like a broken record. Did she just say I was going to be a father?A soft sob caught my attention, and I turned to glance at Sophia. Her face was wet with tears, her lips trembling as she smiled through them. “My love…”“I’m pregnant!” She cut me off, looking at me, her teary eyes gleaming with joy. “We are going to be parents, Luca. I’m going to have your baby.” A flare of complex emotions rose in my chest… They were so intense and overwhelming that I felt the corner
SOPHIA. Days came and went. Life went on for Lucas and I. On the surface, we looked like we were just minding our own business without caring about what had happened in the last few weeks, but in reality, Lucas and Caspian had intensified the investigations. There were three cases we wanted to solve. My parents' murder, Lucas’s mother’s murder and the accident that almost killed us. Regardless, we didn’t let these issues stop us from enjoying our marriage. We went on dates, made love so many times and sometimes, Lucas and Steven spent time playing chess while I went out with Carla and Alice for a girls-only night. Despite having some enemies lurking in the shadows, life was perfect. Lucas stepped out of the car, balancing his right leg on the ground to avoid putting pressure on his left leg, which was still in a cast and healing. He no longer used a wheelchair, but he still needed crutches to move around. I followed him out, and he closed the car door for me. “Are you ready?” H
SOPHIA. The crowd became louder, their angry voices drawing everyone's attention. More people stopped and came to watch the scene.“We say no to unfair treatment! Don’t fire workers due to personal reasons!” “The chairwoman must step down!” “You can’t fire a pregnant woman with no pay! The chairwoman is a vicious woman!” Carla glanced at me. “Sophia, you leave with the squad members. I’ll deal with this.”I could already see my security team holding off the protestors, and some were already near me, ready to protect me in case of anything. “This war is between me and Violet. If I don’t fight back today, she will think I’m easy to bully,” I replied in a low voice. “Sophia, I know you hate me because I’m carrying Elias’s child, and you couldn’t. But that’s not a reason to fire me without my severance pay,” Violet’s sharp voice echoed around us, a triumphant smirk on her lips. She held her small baby bump like it was an award she didn’t deserve. “Elias is my husband now, and we a
SOPHIA. “My husband is my only guardian angel. No man can ever compare to him,” I said, a smile crossing my lips at the thought of Lucas. Now that he had almost recovered, we had made an appointment to go for a checkup together two weeks from now.I couldn’t help but be nervous and excited at the same time. What would it be like to have little ones running around the house? My heart already felt full at the thought. “Of course he is… what I mean is, whatever the case, this alliance is good for us. It’s not for free, so I think Mr X has no hidden motives,” Carla replied. I went through the document over and over again, but I didn’t find anything fishy. The contract was straight to the point, and I didn’t find any hidden clauses. The alliance was beneficial to both parties. Carla was right; it was good for our company.“You’re right, I can’t find anything suspicious in this contract,” I murmured. “I told you so. It’s ok to sign it,” Carla remarked. “Besides, since Mr X is willing to
