**Olivia POV"Morning, baby. Are you ready to go visit Herman?" Ellis asked me as soon as I opened my eyes."Sure. Do you think he will like me? Do you think he will accept me and Ken?" I asked nervously as I sat up in bed.Ellis nodded at me. He smiled from ear to ear. He said, "Of course he will, baby. He's a loving guy."I nodded. I didn't know what to say. I felt Ellis rub my back and it soothed me. He also kissed my neck, which gave me chills up my spine. Feeling his tongue on my neck made me quiver with desire. It also made me forget about my nausea."Mom, Dad! You're awake!" Ken yelled loudly as he came rushing in.Ellis hurried to remove his mouth from my neck. I could feel he was disappointed that he couldn't continue. But he also did enjoy seeing his son. "Hi, buddy!" Ellis said happily.I saw Ken jump onto the bed. The bed bounced and made my stomach churn and do a flip-flop. More nausea hit. I put my hand on my stomach and rubbed it lightly. I hated waking up in the morning
**Ellis POV"What's going on? You're not spending time with Olivia?" Jesse asked me.I was sitting at the bar and drinking a beer. My friend Jesse had just opened a new Red Sea in Boston. I felt happy for him. It was what he really enjoyed. I could see Jesse smile a lot while he helped other customers.I took another drink and shook my head. I liked hanging out here because it wasn't very full of people. Plus, I didn't have to enjoy anyone's company here except for Jesse. I like to enjoy being around only a few people at a time. "My house is full of people now, Jesse. It feels crowded.""Hey, you should be happy that Herman is back at the mansion." Jesse reminded me of the good news."I am happy. But it just feels overly crowded, with not enough time to go around to enjoy everyone's company," I complained and then took another gulp of the beer."Besides, you made Olivia's day when you invited her mother to come to stay at the estate. She was missing her family, you know. It makes you l
Ken and Kevin rushed in, their eyes widening when they saw the ring on my finger. Ken squealed in delight. "Yay, Mom and Dad are getting married! Finally!" he said."Congrats, when's the wedding?" asked Kevin, who seemed almost as excited as Ken. I felt speechless. I wanted to be happy and excited, but I couldn't find the words. Ellis answered for me. "I think two months will be a good time, just enough time to get everything ready." The words hung in the air, and I felt a weight descend in my stomach. Could I really get ready in that short of a time to do something so big and life-changing? Could I forgive Ellis for all the lies? I would need to seriously think this over. Ellis seemed to understand, and he lightly touched my arm. "It's okay," he said quietly. "You don't have to decide right now. Take your time and think it over." I nodded, feeling relieved. I looked out the window, my thoughts taking me far away. I thought about the past few months, about all the secrets, the d
Ellis grabbed me from behind. Since everyone was asleep now, I could feel Ellis push his body into mine. "I want to enjoy you while we're on a cruise ship." Hearing those words made me quiver with desire. Goosebumps formed on my arms and a chill went up my spine. Ellis grabbed my body and carried me to our room placing me on the bed. I giggled as I reached for him. My fingers crept up his thighs, playing over his skin until I could grab hold of his shaft. Feeling his muscles tense and hearing him moan made me also moan. My hips bucked forward, and the shaft moved under my hand.I felt his hand on my chest and one of the cups of my bra moved down. His fingers dug into my breasts and pinched my nipples. My other breast sprang free, and the air moved across it like waves on the ocean.His tongue darted out to lick his lips as he backed up away from me. I pulled him toward me with my hand on his shaft. For several long moments, Ellis explored my body with his hands and mouth. I wiggled u
On the day of the wedding, the island was alive with excitement. The weather looked perfect for this special day. No wind or rain would ruin this special moment for me. I felt thankful for that. Ellis and I were finally tying the knot! It felt like we’d been together and engaged forever without any progress. Now our families and friends are here to witness the special moment. I wore the stunning white wedding gown with golden design on it. Everyone could see my bare shoulders since it would be off-the-shoulder, which I loved since you didn’t see off-the-shoulder dresses that often. Seeing Ken and Kevin go down the aisle made me smile wide. They both looked good in black and white tuxes. I walked down the aisle with my father. It felt so special to me. Once I stood in front of Ellis, I could see him dressed in a classic black tuxedo. The vows came now and I held my breath as I heard Ellis speak loudly and clearly. “My dearest Olivia, we have been through some rough times. Again, I d
**Ellis POVThe last leg of our journey home was a flight that felt longer than the entire cruise. It probably didn't help that it was the middle of the night. Everyone looked exhausted as we all sat in the plane. I dozed off from time to time. Holding Olivia’s hand as much as possible the entire way. It felt nice to finally get into the limo and see the familiar surroundings. It was nice to be back in Boston. The ride from the airport to the house didn't seem to take all that long. Once the limo stopped in front of the Peterson mansion, I sighed with relief. Everyone climbed out and rushed inside.As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted by a familiar face. My grandfather, Herman, held out his arms wide with a bright smile. I smiled happily at him and set our bags down for a moment. “Welcome home,” Grandfather Herman greeted us. He was beaming with joy. “Did you have a wonderful wedding trip? I’m sorry I couldn’t make it, but I’m so glad you’re here now.”“We’re glad to be home
I got a call a few days after our wonderful time of settling into the estate. A call I didn’t expect. It was the Mayor. I found it surprising that he would be calling me."So, what’s up, Mayor?" I asked."I was interested in talking about your proposal for urban and suburban development.""Oh, okay sure. Did you want to talk in person about this?" I asked."Sure, whenever you can get here." "I will be on my way." I hung up and hurried out of the mansion. I arrived at the Mayor’s office a few minutes earlier than he probably expected. I was expecting a warm welcome. But I was wrong. Dead wrong.As I waited for him, I could hear the Mayor was on the phone, speaking in hushed tones. I couldn’t make out everything he was saying, but I instantly sensed something was wrong when I heard the name Bennett Klein. The Mayor hung up the phone and called me in, his face a mask of solemnity. “Bennett Klein is missing,” he said. “He’s a fugitive from justice,” the Mayor replied grimly. “He fled th
**Olivia POV The next several weeks seemed to drag on for me. Same thing every day. I was so bored all the time. Since the weeks were piling up, my body started to show more and more. I know it's a blessing to have kids. Especially when some women can't have them. My chest grew more and felt harder and filled up. My face looked a little puffy too. Even my thighs started to puff up.With the baby growing, it started to feel heavier on my small frame. So, now my back started to hurt more often. I hated the aches and pains. Ellis was up at the Crack of dawn and went to work. The two boys started school. Both of them seemed excited about it. Especially Ken since he would get to meet new kids. But that meant it would be just me at home in the humongous mansion with Grandpa Herman staying mostly in his room. I felt so lonely.Morning came around again, I noticed the school bus out front. So, I rushed towards the stairs. “Ken, Kevin! Bus is here!” I yelled loudly.I watched Ken rush down t
