Chapter Five.
AricShe had the most beautiful facial features, and one of the sexiest bodies i had ever seen. She was a great dancer, and her soft moans and low cries were like a melodious music to my ears, I had imagined spending another time with her, I couldn’t get her off my head, only to find out she was my niece.Was I really ill-fated like that shaman said back in New York?After Hailey left me, I found it difficult to do even the little things, but when I resorted to wines and getting women to suck me off, I was able to get her off my mind for a while. I thought I had found my own person again after meeting her, only for her to turn out to be my niece.Will these thoughts to have her once again go to waste? Will the imaginations of how I’d take her like she was mine go to waste? It had to. I couldn’t push myself into webs that’ll entangle me for life.Caelia wasn’t just my young niece; she was like a daughter to me. My brother’s last words were that I make sure that his daughter and wife were safe. I should be with them and never give them the chance to miss him.Caelia was my responsibility; I was like the father figure in her life. I couldn’t keep up with these dirty thoughts about her. But even with those thoughts that I was her uncle and we were related, therefore we shouldn’t have done what we did, there were other side thoughts that didn’t care if we were related or not, a side that didn’t regret a single thing that happened last night, a side that wanted more of those perfectly round and succulent boobs, a side that wanted to suck that juicy pussy of hers again.I shook those thoughts off. The only thing I owed myself was to act like the adult and act normal for the minutes I would be spending with them. Caelia and I could settle this out later. It beats me that I never got the strange feeling that she was family and I shouldn’t have done that with her. I took a quick look up and murmured a forgiveness prayer that my brother forgives me for doing that with his daughter.I stepped closer. “Hello, Caelia, how have you been?” I smiled and stretched my hand out for a shake.She didn’t hesitate just like I thought she would. She swung her hand forward and took the shake, but went quiet afterwards. Does she maybe feel the same way I feel? The burning sensation that flowed from the joining of our palms down to the sole of my feet, causing my body to quake involuntarily, her touch was something I would have to grow to resist, even though I didn’t want that.I pulled my hand away from hers slowly, forcing to keep the smile on my face intact. “I have heard a lot about you from your mom, how is your studies going?” I said again.She smiled, but I could see through it that it was fake. She readjusted her bag on her shoulder, and I could only hope that she didn’t get the letter I asked Isa to give her; it was the only way things wouldn’t get more awkward between us. Even though I wanted more of her, I had to keep the promise I made to my brother; his daughter was like mine, I couldn’t afford to make any more mistakes.“Fine, fine.” She murmured. “And you? How have you been too?”I took my seat, and she also did the same with her mom. “I have been fine,” I smiled. “I’m glad to finally see you both after long years.”“I am also glad.” Her mom chimed in. “It’s been over ten years, but you still haven’t changed, not one bit; you’re still the handsome and hot man every girl would want to have.” Mari added and leaned closer. “Do you still have girls running after you as before? And…”Caelia’s loud cough cut her off.“Are you okay? Do you need anything?” Mari asked.“I am fine, mom,” She said and smiled faintly, standing on her feet. “I will be back; I need to go do something.” She added and bowed slightly before heading away.I couldn’t keep my eyes off her bum that kept on swaying from side to side as she moved; the images of how it looked naked flashed before my eyes, how beautiful and soft they were when I grasped them in my hands. I would never be able to forget that.I had imagined having more of that, having my head on those two heavenly bums, I wanted to have it all to myself, but I would have to do away with all those thoughts and imaginations.“You are surprised she has grown so big, right?” Mari’s voice jerked me back.I looked at her and raised my brows. “I…Uhmm… I don’t seem to get that.”“You were looking at Caelia; I’m sure you’re surprised that she has grown so big, she used to be your little princess.” She laughed.Even though that wasn’t exactly what I was looking at, I joined her, laughing as though something was really funny.“You are right, I almost didn’t recognize her.” I murmured.“She was five the last time you saw her; she’s now twenty and would be twenty-one in a few weeks.” She mentioned.I did the math, and I realized our age difference was close to twenty years; it wasn’t just that Caelia was my niece but our age difference was long enough to birth someone as old as she was. It wasn’t just a huge gap, but a big blow on my face that I got down with someone as young as she was.I readjusted on the chair, my uneasiness growing with every passing second; what have I done? How did I get here? I had to stay away from her.I watched as Mari stood up from my side and headed to the kitchen; she set the dining table and came back later to me. “I have set the table, I just have to call Caelia down so we can eat.”“I will go call her instead.” I offered and immediately stood up. Just a few seconds ago, I decided to stay away from her, but I couldn’t hold myself back after hearing her name. I wasn’t sure of what was wrong with me or what exactly I want.“That’s fine; I’ll be waiting for your two.” Mari said, and I nodded at her before heading up the stairs.I took a deep breath in and out before knocking at her door; my legs shook in uneasiness as I waited for her to respond, but no response came. I knocked again, and it was still the same thing.I finally pushed the door open, slightly at first and peeped in to see if she was inside, but she wasn’t there, I stepped inside and looked around, where could she be?Just when I was looking around, my eyes caught the picture frame on the wall, it was a picture of her with my brother and me. I remembered when we took the picture; it was on a trip we went on for my brother’s birthday, the last birthday before his death. The day was one day I would never forget; it was as though he was bidding farewell with the words he said.While I was still there staring, I heard the creaking sound of a door opening and turned, only to feel my muscles tightening with the sight of her wet long onyx black hair, the sight of the droplets of water from her hair sent a lump forming in my throat, I found it hard to speak.I saw a smile forming on her face as she walked to me, each step she took towards me sent a flash of last night's memory through my mind; I knew I might end up forgetting all I thought about down there and do something I might end up regretting.I cleared my throat. “I just came to tell you that food is ready and your mom is expecting you down there.” I informed her and immediately turned to the door.I had almost gotten to the door when I stopped abruptly; I looked back to find her hand on mine, her enthralling aqua blue eyes almost sending me off my feet.“Don’t leave, daddy.” She murmured, and my entire body went stiff.Chapter Six.Aric.“Don’t leave, daddy,” she said in a hushed voice that sent cold shivers down my limbs, making my legs wobbly almost immediately.I looked up into her eyes, which instantly drew me in. It was as though she was casting a hypnotic spell on me with those beautiful eyes of hers. I couldn’t move or say anything; I couldn’t even think straight. In all my forty years, I had never found myself so speechless, never found myself in a situation where I was lost for what to do.I felt like a toddler.She pulled me back into the room, and I followed her as though she had a remote control, directing my every move. I couldn’t protest or pull back. She stopped and went back to the door to lock it. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her bum, wiggling as she walked.When she returned to me, the smile on her face was replaced with a huge smirk that made me wonder what she wanted to say. She grabbed my hands again, urging me to look into her eyes, but my gaze swayed down to her chest. Her expos
Chapter Seven.Caelia.They say one has to rise after a fall and keep trying after a failure, but in my own case, I stopped trying the moment I failed to control myself.After leaving him and my mom to talk and getting into my room, it was hard to get over the realization that I just had a one-night stand with my uncle, the only father figure left in my life, the one who had been responsible for everything I had done in the last years, from my tuition fee down to my monthly allowance.After so much thought and weighing of my decisions, I arrived at the conclusion that I would try my best to stay away from him, I would kill off these thoughts to relive that night again and move on with my life, but after I stepped out of the bathroom from my cold bath, my whole body went hot the moment I set my eyes on him, I began to sweat from within.I found myself saying every word and acting on every emotion I promised myself to push back; it was much easier to do as my mind wanted than to push it
Chapter Eight.Aric.My whole body felt so heavy, as though I would explode. I looked down at my trousers, and my whole body shook, seeing how hard I had grown. Why can’t I just keep myself calm around her?I had to leave because I knew I could no longer control myself, and I didn’t want to make the same mistake I had already made.The images of her beautiful and sexy naked body kept flashing through my head, causing me to grow harder than I already was. The explosion kept seeming like it was near, but it also felt as though there was something restricting it.As the driver pulled over at the garage, I pushed the door open and jumped down, rushing into the house and up into my room.I had already called my manager, who was also my best friend, and informed him that I would need a lady or two to help me get rid of this thing building up down there. It was the only way out.I had failed multiple times after trying to take the thought of her off my mind and concentrate on some other thin
Chapter Nine.Aric.I had been waiting for years for this breakthrough. My entire existence had been solemnly based on one thing, and it was to find my brother’s killer. But it kept on looking like I would never be able to. There was no trace of the killer, we didn’t know the gang who killed him.Even though we always hit a dead end with our investigation, I never stopped hoping that one day, I would find my brother’s killer.“Share the location with me, and I’ll join you there in a minute.” I responded and dropped the call, rushing into the closet.I quickly dressed up in a black shirt and blue jeans, matching it up with black comfy sneakers. I opened my safe and carried the gun box, making my way out of the closet.“What are you still doing here?” I asked the lady who was still in the room, naked. “I told you to leave.” I added but didn’t wait for her to respond before rushing out of the room. I couldn’t afford to miss the one they caught after these years of waiting for it.“Make s
Chapter Ten.Caelia.I stepped out of the bathroom after a warm morning bath, my body felt light, the exact opposite of the state of my mind; it was chaos, caused by multiple thoughts that I couldn’t stretch out. I had slept thinking about what to do with what I saw earlier in the day. I didn’t know who to tell about what I saw. Should I just keep it to myself? Should I tell someone? Or just report to the police that my mom and I were being watched by someone. I wasn’t sure of what to do.I dragged my legs into the closet, dried and restyled my hair, then started the usual routine of searching for what to wear. After searching for minutes, I finally settled for a short black and white gown, matching it up with black knee boots. I picked up a fur coat from the hanger and a black bag too, heading out of the room.I descended the stairs to find my mom at the dining table already, eating her meal and scrolling through her phone at the same time. I cleared my throat as I walked to the tabl
Chapter ElevenCaelia.Ethan? What does he want from me? After all he did to me and even had the gut to speak to me the way he did after I caught him thrusting into a man like him, how dare he try to talk to me after this? And even touch me?“What do you want!” I yelled and pushed him away from me.“You have to listen to me, I am not here to fight you or get into an argument with you, I just want to tell you to…”“I don’t want to hear anything from you.” I cut him off. I wanted to hear what he had to say from the start, but the way he started his statement only made my resentment grow, I couldn’t wait for him to speak. “I don’t want to ever see you, so never show me your face again!” I snarled at him and turned to leave, but he gripped my hand and pulled me back, pinning me to the wall. “Let me go!” I shouted.“Keep quiet, and listen to me!” He thundered. “Do you think I stopped you to apologize for having the best sex of my life? Or getting to take your leash off my life? Do you real
Chapter TwelveCaeliaGoosebumps sprouted all over my skin like a ripple spreading across calm water, my heart began to race, and I clenched onto my chest.It wasn’t even three days after my breakup yet, and I was already feeling this way about another man, about my own uncle. Was it maybe lust? Infatuation? Obsession? Would I get over this when I have him to myself just one more time? Will all these feelings leave?I was confused, I didn’t know how to define the way I was feeling.I wasn’t just thinking about him; I imagined doing things with him, I imagined reliving that night again, I imagined having him buried deep inside of me again. I just couldn’t stop myself from daydreaming about him. He was just so perfect to me; I was blinded to see a single flaw about him.“You’re not listening.” Emma whispered to me. “He just called your name; you’re in the same group with Ethan and his friends, also Benny.” She explained.I looked up, just to realize how much I had missed. The professor
Chapter Thirteen.Aric.“Even though it is worth millions of dollars, I don’t think I can be a part of this deal, I don’t deal in illegal activities.” I said to the business partners that were sitting across me in the office. “It also has to do with mafia activities and I don’t want to be a part of that.”One of them had a huge weird smirk dancing at the corner of his lips as I spoke, as though he was just waiting for me to finish talking before he lashes out at me. “That is funny coming from a mafia don.” He laughed. “Why will a mafia don tell us he doesn’t want to be a part of mafia activities? I don’t think that makes any sense.”“I think you don’t know what my mafia group is all about.” I smiled and stood up, walking to their side, I took a sit on the table beside them. “We don’t do anything illegal here, we only involve in legal business, and everything we own is legal, you can make your findings.”They both laughed, loud enough that it became frustrating for me, I didn’t underst
Chapter 130 Author’s POV Caelia stood in front of the mirror, her hands trembling slightly as they rested on her baby bump. She glanced at Emma, who was adjusting the final touches on her veil. "How do I look?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, betraying the swirl of emotions beneath her calm exterior. She was happy, yet she was scared. Emma stepped back, admiring her work with a warm smile. "You look perfect, Caelia. My designs are always perfect, I know, but you? You’re more perfect than the dress.” She chuckled. Her words were soft, reassuring, but they couldn’t quite chase away the flutter of nerves building in Caelia’s chest. Caelia smiled back at her, though a bit of longing flickered in her heart. She twirled gently in the gown, the delicate lace brushing against her legs. The dress flowed around her like a dream, its soft fabric wrapping around her growing belly as if embracing the new lives inside her. She was radiant, but in this moment of beauty, her mind wan
Chapter 129CaeliaThe lights suddenly went out and I collapsed to the floor, sobbing into the darkness. It felt like my life had been swallowed by the same black void surrounding me. The world had crumbled, and the man I loved was gone, even though he was still breathing. I had waited for close to two months to see those eyes if his again, but he couldn’t even recognize me. What kind of life is this? But then, without warning, the lights flickered back on. Through my tears, I looked up and saw Emma standing in front of me, a soft smile on her face, holding a single rose. She walked toward me, her steps slow and deliberate, before kneeling down beside me. Without saying a word, she gently placed the rose in my hand, giving it a light squeeze. I was stunned. Confused. Emma had been the one I’d frantically called earlier, but she hadn’t picked up. “Emma, I…” Before I could complete my words, a nurse appeared, approaching me with another rose, handing it over in the same quiet way. My
Chapter 128Caelia“It’s important to take care of yourself, Caelia,” the doctor said gently, his eyes filled with concern. “Your babies need you to be strong. Stress isn’t good for them.”I nodded, offering him a weak smile. “I know. Thank you, Doctor.” I picked up my bag, the weight of his words settling over me as I moved out of the office. Outside the hospital, Jay was waiting in the car, as he always did. Without a word, I slid into the passenger seat."To the hospital?" he asked quietly.I gave a small nod, and he started the car. We drove in silence, my thoughts wandering as we made our way to see Aric. I could have chosen to have an attending doctor for my pregnancy at the same hospital where Aric was being treated—it would have been more convenient. But I couldn’t bring myself to change hospitals. I was still going to the one where my mother had taken me then to terminate the pregnancy, the one she called her friend, was now my attending doctor.Two weeks had passed since Ari
Chapter 127CaeliaEvery time I looked up and saw the red light above the operating room still on, and the notice that read, "In Surgery: Aric Phoenixbourne, Heart Transplant," it sent shivers down my spine. My heart raced, and I slumped back into a cloud of doubt. Before the surgery, the doctor had warned me about potential complications, some of which could be life-threatening. That warning echoed in my mind constantly. I had waited an entire month for this moment, but now, I was more terrified than ever.“He’ll be fine. I’m sure of it,” Aless said softly, patting my shoulder. He had already come to join us there after I informed him about the transplant “Aric isn’t the type to give up. He’ll pull through.”“Yes, he’s right, Cae. He’ll be okay,” Emma added, her voice filled with hope.All I could do was nod, my anxiety making it hard to speak. I continued pacing in front of the operating room, my eyes darting to the red light and back to the notice over and over again.“Caelia, you
Chapter 126Caelia(One Month Later)It took just minutes for me to realize that I was all alone, and the lives of four people depended on me and the decisions I made, especially my strength. I had to be strong for Aric and our babies. I had to hold on to the hope that, with time, everything would be fine.It has been a month since Mom’s death, a month since Aric had been hospitalized, and we’ve been waiting and hoping for a heart donor. As much as each passing day without a donor terrified me, I still held on to that hope that things would be fine, even though it was fading.Different complications had arisen over the months. There were moments when I thought I was going to lose him forever, moments when he had seizures that almost made my heart stop. Still, I held on to that hope, as faint as it was, that in the end, everything would be fine.I believed Aric would open his eyes. I believed he would be fine again, that he would come back to me, and we would live the rest of our lives
Chapter 125 Caelia My legs felt so heavy and numb, dragging with every step toward the morgue. My body shook, silent sobs wracking me, but I no longer had the strength to cry out loud. The sight of the morgue loomed ahead, and fresh tears blurred my vision as my legs wobbled, barely able to carry me forward. Aric's hand rested on my back, his touch firm yet gentle as he tried to steady me. His attempts to soothe the storm raging inside me were in vain. Nothing could calm the whirlwind of pain, loss, and devastation coursing through me. Why? Why did this have to happen? Just when I thought things were turning around, when I believed we'd finally have our happy ending—why did Mom have to leave me? I wished I could turn back time, be a better daughter, do something—anything—to change the outcome. Maybe, just maybe, if I hadn’t gotten pregnant, if I hadn’t… My legs buckled beneath me, and I crumbled to the cold floor, burying my face in my trembling hands. Sobs shook my shoulder
Chapter 124 Caelia I stared at her, unable to process what was happening, my vision blurring with tears. First Aric, now my mother. My heart clenched with pain as I watched her, blood seeping through her fingers as she clutched her chest, her breaths coming in ragged gasps that shattered me down to my soul. I didn’t know how long I stood there, watching helplessly, tears burning down my cheeks, blurring the horrific scene before me. My mom was dying, yet I couldn’t do anything about it. I was watching life slip away from her, but I could do nothing about it. My dad, Aric, and now mom? Why? What was this happening to me? What have I done wrong to deserve this much pain? My body shook as I knelt beside her, my knees crashing to the floor, finally finding the strength to move. Crawling on the cold blood stained floor, I reached for her hand, gripping it tightly. Her skin felt cold, and I could feel her pulse weakening. My body shook with fear. No! I can’t lose her too. “Mom, please,
Chapter 123CaeliaAric still didn’t move, no matter how hard and loud I called his name, he still laid there, motionless.“Bring her to me,” Axel’s voice cut through the chaos, cold and unfeeling.I barely registered his words before his men moved toward me. They grabbed my arms roughly, yanking me from the spot where I had been helplessly staring at Aric. My body shook violently as I tried to fight back, but it was useless. I was too weak, too broken, too hurt."Let me go!" I screamed, my voice hoarse with pain and rage. But they didn’t listen. I was dragged across the room, my eyes never leaving Aric's body, every step pulling me further away from him.I didn’t care about anything else at that moment. I just wanted to be with Aric, to hold him, to wake him up. But Axel’s cold command echoed in my mind as the guards pulled me closer to him, and my fear grew even more suffocating.“She is the reason we are here today. My darling daughter.” Axel smiled as I was brought to him, his gri
Chapter 122 Caelia No! That can’t be, that can’t be true. My biological father? That must be a lie. It must be the pressure or the fear; she must have said that just to get this over with. There’s no way a man like this could be my father. “No!” I screamed at my mom, hoping to snap her back to her senses. There was no reason to lie, no reason to fear this man. He wasn’t going to do anything to us. “That can’t be true, Mom.” I shook my head, a laugh escaping my lips out of fear. “You don’t have to lie to please him. I know it’s a lie, I know…” “It’s the truth, Caelia. This is the truth,” her voice cut me off, and a tear rolled down my cheek. I shook my head again. It wasn’t possible. I had known Aidan as my father for all of my twenty-one years. I had known just him as my father. How could this stranger be my biological father? It had to be a joke. There was no way this was true. Was Mom playing games with me? Or with him? There was no way he was my biological father. It was
