Chapter Forty-sixAricI put the gun into my pocket and rushed to them. I joined them in the car and urged the driver to get to the nearest hospital.“Stay with me, Aless, stay with me.” I held his hand, squeezing it gently to reassure him that he was safe, even though I wasn’t sure he was.He was bleeding so much, and his face was starting to grow pale. His lips were now very dry, and his eyes fluttered closed every now and then. My heart ached as I watched him fight for his life.“Don’t close your eyes.” I tapped his cheeks, and his eyes flickered open again.“A...Ar...Aric,” he managed to say, a whimper of pain following suit. “Are...you...are you fine?”How could he be worried about me when he was in that condition? I was about to go crazy just from watching him bleed so much. A great tremor overtook my body, and I shook with fear when I remembered that Aidan had bled just as much, leading to his death.I shook my head. “You shouldn’t speak. I am fine, and you also need to be fine
Chapter Forty-sevenAricThe gentle movements of Aless’s hand were what woke me. I flickered my eyes open to see that he had regained consciousness. My heart raced with so much happiness that I couldn’t contain it. I couldn’t have imagined what would have happened if something had happened to him.I held onto his hand and stood up from the chair I was sitting in. “Aless,” I murmured. “How do you feel now?”“A… Aric,” he managed to say, squeezing my hand gently to reassure me that he was fine. “You haven’t changed your clothes,” he added.There was no way I could have left him all by himself the previous night. I couldn’t even sleep; I kept waking up to check on him, to see if he had regained consciousness. I didn’t care about the white shirt I wore, which had now become red from his blood. I wasn’t bothered about myself; all I was concerned about was his safety and him being conscious again.“You… you should go home,” he said and tried to sit up but fell back on the bed with a low whi
Chapter Forty-eightCaeliaI couldn’t move my hands; they were numb and stiff. I didn’t know what to do. Why was he like this? What did he go out to do? Why was his white shirt now blood red? And what exactly was he doing with a gun?I shuddered with fear. I didn’t know if I should ask him these questions and hear from him, or if I should just keep to myself and not push him into doing things or showing me sides I had never seen before. What if he gets angry and shoots me?I shook my head, forcing off those thoughts, but they lingered still.“Are you okay?” he asked, holding my hands.“Why…why are you like this?” I asked, my breaths shaking. “And why do you have a gun?”He looked down at himself and kept looking for minutes, not looking up at me and leaving me confused. Didn't he know that his shirt was stained before? Was he really just seeing it now?I was totally confused by the way he was behaving, and each second that passed without him clarifying the whole situation only made me
Chapter Forty-nineAricMinutes ago, I was on the verge of passing out from fear that something had happened to her, but here I was, under the shower, watching her walk toward me, naked and excited for what she had planned.I planned not to give in to her touch, which was becoming an addiction I couldn’t get over, but I was willing to let go for today. I wasn’t in a really good mood and needed the warmth that comes with having my cock in her mouth.She reached me, and I just stood there, unable to take my eyes off her breasts, with her erect nipples pointing at me. I could sense her arousal from the now pink and hard nipples and the constant shaking of her legs, but I wanted her to ask before I did anything.Her hand slowly curved around my waist, and she began to trace down the hair on my chest, down to my waistband again. I had yet to shave it off for the week. She stopped when she got to my shorts and looked up at me, as though she was seeking permission to carry on, and I just nod
Chapter FiftyCaeliaNever would I have imagined myself begging and asking to be fucked. Never would I have imagined myself asking for a man to cum into my mouth. But with him, with Aric, I was willing to be the sluttiest slut he had ever seen or been with.I wanted him; I had always wanted him since I saw him, and I no longer saw any need to hold back. He made me feel things I had never felt before. He had made me experience emotions I never thought existed. He had pleasured me more than I ever thought possible. He made me feel sensations I never thought I could experience. He was everything I needed; he was perfect, and I wanted to be as perfect for him.His whole body was covered in sweat, which made his skin glisten. He looked so hot and sexy as he continued to thrust into my mouth. I saw his eyelids shaking as he shoved his full length into my mouth. His lips were parted, and the only sounds escaping them were moans and groans that sent a great spurt of wetness through my pussy.
Chapter Fifty-oneCaelia.My body wracked with great pleasure as he stared down at me hungrily, as if he was going to devour my entire body with his eyes.“You are so sweet, sunshine.” He whispered and held my hand, leading me back to the shower. “I’m going to fuck you so hard just like you asked for.” He circled his hand around my neck and raised my head. “Are you ready for that?”I tried hard not to bite my lower lip as I nodded at him. “Yes, yes Daddy. I want it.”“Stay right here.” He smiled softly and walked away, my heart leaped into my throat as I tried to figure out what he was trying to do, if he was leaving me halfway again just like he had been doing for a while now.My breath seized in my throat when he came back with a neck tie, flashing a smile at me as he moved closer.“Raise your hand.”I complied without asking any questions. I couldn’t tell what he was going to do, but I didn’t ask questions. I felt completely secured and safe with him. He tied my hands with the t
Chapter Fifty-two Caelia. There had been many thoughts running through my mind since I met him—so much uncertainty and confusion. But one thing was clear, one thing I was certain of: I wanted him. I craved him, his touch, and his cock as often as I could get it. I wanted to be with him. He began to move, gently and slowly towards the room. He got to the bed and deposited me on it, mounting me immediately and thrusting inside me again. He didn’t even make me feel like there was a break of any kind, the pleasure pulsed through my veins, leaving me breathless and shaky. As he slammed into me, my boobs wriggled and my pussy juices tickled down my legs, and onto his cock. He touched and licked it, the sight sent shivers down my body. Goodness! He was good! So fucking good! I loved it, I loved every bit of this man. I wanted to be with him, to dwell with him for the rest of my existence, I never want to let go of this beautiful feeling of having him inside of me, I wanted to keep
Chapter Fifty-threeCaelia One thing was getting fucked by him, and another thing was having to deal with the aftermath and the unavoidable craving for him that comes during this moment. No one could have a taste of that cock of his and not want more. I flickered my eyes open one after the other, and my whole body felt light compared to how heavy it felt before the blissful moment I shared with him. The short nap I took was spent with thoughts of him crossing my mind. I relived every moment we shared in my dreams, and it only left me wet again. Although I could feel the ache between my legs from getting fucked hard by him, I still wanted more of him. I just couldn’t get over the feeling of having his cock inside me; the feel of his cock was so relaxing.Through the craving and urge to have another round with him, I felt a profound sense of satisfaction and fulfillment wash over me. I didn’t just have his cock, which I had been longing for, but also got to tell him how I felt about h
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
