"Well, that is my answer," I said and was about to turn to leave when she called back. "Please, Luke. I really need this money," She said, sounding desperate. "What have you been doing with all the ones you have been taking? Father still does your shopping for you. I changed your closet the same t
Tia. Stacy's behaviour surprised me. I could not believe that she could show that much vulnerability. She was definitely desperate. I knew Luke did not care, and I wouldn't blame him, but we needed to look into it. Whatever the matter was, Twenty-three years was a long time for someone to be blackm
"I am sorry you went through all that," he said, and I shook my head. "I am over it, Luke. I am just telling you why I am smiling." I said. "Well, maybe what I am about to say will make you happier because it made me very happy," he said, and I was attentive. "Elisabeth is seeing someone." He sai
"Now, " I moaned while he sucked his mark on my neck. He ignored me, and I became wild. "I want to take my time, Tia. Your body is mine to worship," he said to me and reached under my nightgown, and he began to rub my entrance. I moaned uncontrollably, and he did not stop. I wanted him to touch my
Luke. Making love to Tia felt better each time. It was no joke, but my body craved hers all the time. I had to have her that morning, and I did. I noticed she wasn't so vocal in bed, so I decided I would try to make her speak up more so she could enjoy it just as much as I was enjoying it. Breakfas
The doctor was shocked, but I knew I had to draw the line. If not, she would continue doing things to gain my attention, and Tia can only take so much. I could not subject my wife to constant emotional abuse like this. This was it; I was done. If she ever induces any symptoms again, she will be on h
Tia. I smiled at Luke, feeling honoured that he would trust me to interrogate the prisoner. Caleb and Luke seemed to be a bit cool. I guess he meant what he said by the lake, but Luke was right about his obsession being unhealthy. I hoped Kimberly would finally win his heart, and he could move on.
"He is always wearing sunglasses, and his beards are always changing. I think he disguises himself a lot," he said, and I had to think quickly. "Can you describe his scent?" I asked Gabriel. "You are a clever one. That was one consistent thing, but he might have been misguiding me with it. " Musk
Grand aunty Ummul passed away a year ago, and we still miss her, especially Emma and Chloe. We had learned sign language because of her. We did not mourn too much because we knew she had gone to rest. Luke was glad we could care for her a little longer before she died. Aunty Amira was married with c
"You missed breakfast," Luke said, and she looked away. I noticed a hickey on her neck. She saw that I noticed and tried to cover it. "Come on, Luke, Aunty Amirah can come for breakfast whenever," I told him, and she smiled at me. Not wanting him to say anything else, I urged him to move on. "I ho
Tia SIX MONTHS LATER Luke and I woke up late, so we had to rush to prepare for breakfast. Chloe and James were peaceful babies, and even though they had nannies, we checked on them at night to ensure they were alright. They were a blessing. Paul was growing well too. Doctor Khalifa had said his he
"Stacy.." he managed with his deep voice., but it sounded weak and defeated. I looked up gradually, and his eyes were filled with tears. "I am sorry, Stacy. I was mean to you. I should have made more effort. I should have loved you harder. I take all the blame," he said, and I shook my head and sto
Stacy. I spent three months missing Aesop. It was hard. Sometimes I wished I didn't leave, but I needed time alone. All my life, I had been in someone's shadow. First, it was my parents, then Regan and then Aesop. I never had the time to discover myself and learn my weaknesses and strengths. I neve
"Every time you feel a contraction, I want you to push," She said, and I nodded. The first contraction came, and I pushed as instructed. ONE HOUR LATER I had delivered twins. A boy and a girl and the nurses had taken them to clean them up. I was anxious to see them. They had wheeled me back to the
"I know you didn't think your exit would affect him much, but it did. When he said he loved you, he meant it. When you were poisoned, he never left the hospital until the day he brought you home. He remained by your side. When he pushed you out of his room, he gave them an order at the gate not to l
"No, Luke. Let me see her first, then I will call you to bring him," I said and took out my phone to text him the address. "I am sending you her address right now," I said, and he looked a bit worried. "What is the matter, darling?" I asked him, and he sighed. "You are almost due, Tia. I would no
"Have you been able to reach Stacy?" He asked me, and I shook my head. I knew it wouldn't be easy since Caleb her son, had been unable to reach her. He travelled to Dome two months ago when she opened the foundation, and he did not meet her. She had been M.I.A. since then. It was as if she deliberat
