"I will be going to the office. I have a backlog of work," she said, and he nodded. We ate in peace for the first time. No one said anything, and my father decided to request that Monica resume her internship with us. Tia did not bother to argue; it was as if she had suspected he would do it. His s
"Liberation from the Moons. Liberation from monopoly and segregation. Liberation from the bloodline that takes because they can. Your father stole from our pack and insulted us. He will pay for it with everything he has," The first one said. "What did he steal from you that you guys want to ruin us
Luke. My feet could not carry me fast enough as I ran to the hospital's reception. I knew I heard people greet me, but I could not stop to answer. My heart was in my mouth. Many things were running through my mind, and the loudest fear was that Tia had somehow been poisoned at the Moon Mansion. I b
I knew there was much to do, but I could only think about going home and spending the whole day with my wife. I carried her bridal style out of the room. As I walked, people clapped, cheered and congratulated us. This was a big deal for the pack and my family. My heart was filled with love and joy.
"Congratulations!" she said with so much joy, and Tia and I began to laugh because we both knew we would be getting a lot of that. I laid her down on the bed and undressed her until she was in her underwear. I did the same too, and I was about to jump into bed with her when I got a call from my fat
Tia. Luke planted soft kisses, leaving a garden of pleasure on my body. How could I always want him so much? I thought I would get tired, but that wasn't happening. I wanted him more. Eager and ready to take all he could give me. "Luke.." I managed. "Let me thank you properly," he said and pushed
"I am so happy for both of you," she said and hugged Luke. She led us to the dining table, and there was a big turkey on the table. My mother was overjoyed. "Don't worry about the quality of the roast; we ordered it from the restaurant. There wasn't time to do a full grill by ourselves. We do not h
Luke. Dinner at Tia's house was eventful. Her father got on my nerves at first, but soon we were able to patch things up and get along. I understood his pain. I had really insulted Tia the day I visited. I was ashamed that they heard everything I said. To couple that with the news that was going on
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
