I was so proud of Tia, but I needed to punish her for shocking my father like that without thinking of the health implications it would have. It wasn't going to kill him because he was a wolf, but it would have made him sick a bit. I thought of spanking her a bit, but I did not know if she would lik
Luke. When we entered the mansion, Tia and I went to the breakfast lounge at the right-wing and found that the family was almost through with breakfast. Stacy had swollen eyes. Kimberly was absent, with only Monica and Caleb there. It was clear they did not want Kimberly to know what was happening.
"You do not need to show me the statement. Stacy has confessed to me already," he said and turned to her. "Tell them what you told me," he instructed her, and she was stunned. It was clear the woman was not expecting my father to do this to her, but she had somehow dragged everyone into her busines
Tia. I could not believe what had happened during breakfast. There had been horrible moments in that lounge, but this was the most shocking. I wasn't expecting Luke to go at his father the way he did. When I told him what Alpha Aesop said to me in the office, he had taken it calmly, and I did not s
"I am busy, Tia. I have the training and other stuff, and she brought this upon herself. It is her fault that..." he said and stopped. I knew what he wanted to say because he looked at Luke and held his peace. Not wanting to create a problem. I was quiet, too and let it go. "I am sure they will wor
"Is it that serious, Luke?" his father asked, and Luke could not give a straight answer. "The arsenal that Caleb's team went to protect had nothing, yet they attacked with full force. Woodclaw is an Island, and almost all our borders have been attacked. I do not want to imagine the worst, but we mu
Tia. Luke started the car, and we left the mansion; instead of heading home, he drove towards the cliff. I was silent all through the drive and did not say a word. I knew the situation was worse than he was letting out. When we got to the spot. He stopped his car and exited, then came to open the
"So what will happen when her folks come to live in the mansion?" I asked Luke, and he laughed. "I have emptied my father's account, and he knows it. She won't get more than her allowance and will not have access to money. If what she says is true, she should be comfortable not paying the guy once
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
