Chapter Two
Caelia The moment I saw him, I knew it was either I melt into his arms tonight, or melt into his arms; there was no other option. As he walked out with me in his arms, I felt on top of the world. On top of the troubles with my mom, on top of the pain from Ethan’s betrayal, on top of the love I once had for him. I was on top of it all. My heart jiggled with excitement. Everything, every single thing about him was bursting off my brain, from his perfect set of teeth that enhanced his beautiful smile, to his enthralling green eyes that I was afraid to look into so I won't be more hypnotized than I was before, down to his groomed beards that caused goosebumps to prickle out of my skin whenever they brushed against me. And his smell? Gush! It was like an irresistible smell of one’s favorite petite meal; I could devour him if he gives me the chance to. I wanted him, I wanted to have a taste of this sweetness, my legs felt so weak. As we got out, he made a quick call, and a gray-colored Phantom Rolls Royce parked before us, the door coming open, and a man dressed in all black, from head down to his toe, got out, making way for us. “Follow the other car,” he said authoritatively, the man bowed and stepped aside for us. With that, he made me sit in the car, making sure I was comfortable before he came in too, and the door was closed back by that same man who walked away as soon as the car started to move. As we drove in silence, I felt my legs getting hot under his hands, which were now moving around my thighs, leaving trails of touches and tingling sensations all over my body. It was as though all the blood in my body worked with the movement of his hands, following and pumping towards wherever he touched. One minute we were silent, and the next, I was sitting on his laps, his hands tightly wrapped around my waist, sometimes going down to cup my ass in them, spanking and fondling them, with a naughty smile on his face. When our lips met, I felt myself floating beyond the skies; I was floating to the heavenly place. This man was driving me nuts. I felt his hand gently cupping my face as he deepened the kiss, his lips moving against mine with a gentle urgency and longing. In that moment, nothing else mattered, no worries or fears. There was only the heat of the moment, the current running between us, and the pure unbridled passion of our kiss. I let out a frustrated groan when he suddenly broke the kiss, but it soon turned into moans as he began to kiss my ears, down my neck. He unbuttoned the first two buttons of my shirt, pulling it to show my naked shoulder, and he placed a soft kiss there before returning back to my neck. I tilted my head to the side, granting him more access to my neck, my hand carving around his neck. His lips brushed mine again, hard and with a tinge of possession, his hands crawling down to grasp my already hard breast. I could feel his hard cock pushing against my skirt, and I just couldn’t wait to have that deep inside of me. I wanted it; I wanted to see him; I wanted to curl my tongue around him. I only realized where my hand was when he let out a soft moan into my mouth, “yes, sunshine.” My hand was inside his pants, stroking and playing with his erect cock. I couldn’t get my hands off him; I wanted to pull down his pants and have a taste of him, but I was restricted. And then, he broke the kiss. I grunted. A gasp escaped my lips when I looked down at my breasts, hard against my chest, and my nipples pointing out, pushing against the wine shirt I wore. “Why did you stop?” I questioned. He smiled at me once again; I could die of excitement! His beautiful smile puts me above my limit. “Because we are home, sunshine.” As much as I knew that after that night, I would have no other thing to do with this stranger, the sound of the word “home” made my heart flutter. I swung my hand around his neck, clinging to him like the only object in a swaying home. “Take me home, daddy!” The word came out of nowhere. “I love that.” He smiled again, and I just wished he would stop doing that before I tear off his clothes and fuck him right there. “Call me daddy!” I nodded. He raised my chin and gave me a quick kiss. The car door came open, and while still sitting on his laps, he moved to the door, stepping out with me in his hands. When we stepped out, my jaw dropped at the sight of the elegant and breathtaking mansion we were in. From the fluorescent lights that were on the walls outside, to the bright light that lit up the car park, showing different types of cars and models, and the guards that stood around the house, that was when I realized who was holding me in his hands. A millionaire, or a billionaire maybe, I couldn’t tell which it could be, but one thing was certain; this man was wealthy. He turned and headed for the main entrance, the two sides iron door was large enough to accommodate a family of elephants at once. It was opened even before we could get there, and I saw numbers of ladies, dressed in the same uniform, rushing to the door, forming a double line to create a narrow way at the middle. I looked ahead, and I could see the stairs that led to the second floor; it was right at the middle of the building, and on the narrow way that led to it was a red rug, extending to the second floor. “You are welcome, master.” The ladies greeted, their heads bowed. And then, an older lady stepped forward; she seemed to have been standing behind them before, as I didn’t see her. Her dress was a bit different from others. “Welcome, master. We have prepared your meal.” He shook his head and chuckled. “There is no need for that when I have a tasty meal for the night, isn’t that right sunshine?” I nodded, just as I had been doing. “Yes, daddy.” I saw the admiration and longing on his face as he carried me up the stairs, one which I had never seen in anyone’s face before, not even the man I was in a relationship with for good five years. Aside from the fact that this man made me feel safe with him, he made me feel all the emotions I had never felt before, and the ones I once felt but never did after I met Ethan. There were two guards at his door too, and they opened up as they saw him approaching, bowing as he walked inside. Stepping into the room, the first thing I saw was the king-sized bed at the center of the room, and then the wide table at a side. I could also see a set of sofa at another end of the room. A smile fell on my face; whether it was the bed, the table, or sofa, I was ready to be explored by him, without being restricted. The door was closed back, and he dropped me, still with his hand around my waist. He peered intensely at me; I found myself melting into his green eyes. I was lost, dumbfounded, I couldn’t move. He then cupped my face, gently and calmly. “What do you want?” He asked, his finger crawling into my mouth. I didn’t know what to say; I was unsure of how to reply that. He knows what I want; I had let him know this through my body language that I wanted him, I wanted to have him. “You..” I murmured, moving my hand to his neck. “What do you want me to do to you, sunshine?” “I…I want you to fuck me!” I felt my pussy aching already. I so much want this man. “How?” He asked again. Gush! He was driving me nuts! Can we just skip these questions and move to where he is deep inside of me? “I want you to fuck me until I am unable to walk anymore. I want you to fuck me until I reach my peak several times and do not have the strength to get there anymore. Fuck me, daddy.” “As you wish, sunshine,” he said and fell to his large bed. “Now, strip for me!”Chapter Three Caelia His voice held so much authority and command that my hand immediately went to the button of my shirt. I began to unbutton it, my gaze fixed on him. His eyes were filled with admiration and longing, rather than Ethan’s emotionless eyes whenever I did something sexy or tried to strip to turn him on. Ethan would sometimes look away, even when I was completely naked; he turns me down whenever he wants. I gave it so much thought and arrived at the conclusion that I was the one who was insatiable, but I was wrong. He was just a freaking cock sucker! The man right in front of me has all I wanted at that moment; he was giving me every signal and body language I needed. He wanted me as much as I do. I pulled off my shirt, unhooked my bra, and dropped it to the floor; I saw him bite his lower lips, a seductive smile spreading across his lips. The smile broke every reluctance in me. I went down to my skirt and pulled it off, down to my panties. In the next minute, I was
Chapter Four.Caelia.If I had a choice, I would choose not to wake up from the sweet dream I had after one of the most beautiful nights of my life.I had more of him in my dreams, and I didn’t want it to stop just as I dreamed. I wanted to make it happen; I wanted to have this hot and irresistible stranger I had just met again.I rolled to the other side of the bed, hoping to be stopped by his broad shoulders and muscular body, but I rather landed hard on the cold white-tiled floor.I looked around as I groaned in pain and cleaned my naked body, pondering about where he could have gone so early in the morning. As I continued to gaze around, my eyes caught the clock, and a loud gasp escaped my lips when I saw the time; it was past ten.I jumped up from the floor and searched for my clothes, only to find them perfectly dry cleaned on the hanger. I rushed to it, grabbed them, and slipped into them. I knew even though I got home right that minute, I still wouldn’t be able to escape my mo
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 daugh
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 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
