LOGINGrand 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

"Miles sent whimps to do a man's job," he said, laughing, and I knew the bastard could not be trusted. "I am feeling generous. You get to choose one out of the three of them. That way, all of you don't die, and we have a body to show Mr Luis." he said, and I pretended as if I was afraid. I watched
Tia. The morning Luke left, I had my heart in my mouth, but I had to hide it. I couldn't be the drip in our marriage. I almost lost my mind the last time he left on a mission. I knew I had to keep it together, hoping he would return to me. So with a bold face and confidence, I made a press release
"Caleb is now in charge, you know. Your father asked me to step down because of the baby," I explained to Luke, and he nodded. "I know. Caleb knows I am back.
