"We will also need to monitor him to watch out for any damage that may not be visible to us at the moment. The drugs the mother took are quite dangerous," he added, and I looked at Elisabeth, who looked away from shame. We watched them load Paul into the chopper and fly away. James Lockwood and Bar
"I saw my child as a tool and not a person. When I took those meds, I wasn't thinking of the repercussions. The internet had said it was safe and nothing would happen to the fetus. I shouldn't have done it. Everything I did, I was just thinking of myself. I did not know it would turn out like this.
Luke. Morning came, and I was reluctant to get off the bed. Spending the night in the mansion seemed like a good idea, but waking up in it did not seem so anymore. I hated breakfast, and this one would definitely be eventful. I could imagine the list of things we would have to discuss. Caleb's daug
"I do not think she was lying about her deal with Timothy," I told him, sharing my opinion, and he sighed. "She has disappointed me too many times for me to trust her, Luke. Do not get your hopes up. She definitely has a hand in it. That is the only way she could afford to pay Regan Adhit Millions
I went to brush my teeth and stared at my reflection in the mirror. My beards were overgrown and bushy. I was definitely visiting the salon soon. My beards were not long, but I needed to cut and carve them. The whole stress about Kimberly and then Paul kept me so occupied that I forgot to keep my ap
Tia. Luke made love to me in the morning, and I could feel his need. He was relieved that Paul was getting the care he needed, and I was relieved that Elisabeth was finally out of our lives. The woman almost ruined my marriage. While I dressed for breakfast, I remembered the day I packed my things
"Has Regan Adhit threatened you lately, mother?" he asked his mother, and Luke adjusted in his seat, indicating he was interested in the answer and she should answer it. Stacy was shocked immediately. She choked on the juice she was sipping immediately and began to cough. "Caleb, this.." Alpha Aes
Luke. Breakfast had worked out the way Caleb and I hoped. Backing Stacy into the corner had stopped her from starting a conversation that would lead to a quarrel. It was also amusing watching Caleb give her a dose of her medicine. Tia sat quietly in the car, staring at the streets, and I touched h
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
