Luke We stayed a bit with the Wahabs. Ummul had a lot of stories to tell me about my mother, and I was mad at my father for keeping me away from them. At that moment, I saw the love that I had missed. Instead, my father left me at the mercy of his coldhearted bitch mate and never did anything to pr
"There is no way I am flying her folks in a chopper. We can go to Dome, ask the questions that need asking, do some investigations and then return. I will send soldiers to pick them up." I said, and Caleb did not say anything. He also did not give off the sense that he was mad. I guess my explanatio
"Do you know if they had any child together?" I asked the woman, and she frowned. "They were highly secretive; maybe they did," she said. " They moved away quickly, and her folks seemed shady, so we could not really tell," "Can you tell us anything specific about their relationship?" Mike asked.
I answered, and my father began to yell. "What the hell do you think you are doing? You said you were going to check on your son in Neev. What are you doing in Dome? Don't you know they are old..." he yelled, and I shut him up immediately. "Don't you dare call me to speak to me like that again? I
Tia. When I returned upstairs to wake Kimberly up, I found her breastfeeding. Both mother and child looked peaceful, and I wished I did not have to upset them. "Kim," I said calmly, and she looked at me. I tried maintaining a calm exterior while telling her what I wanted. "We need to move to the
"You will be staying with me, Kimberly," I said, and she beamed at me. Just then, Stacy and Alpha Aesop approached us. It was as if they were heading out and happened to find us at the entrance. I cringed immediately. I did not like them, and Luke wasn't around. I guess I have to face them on my own
"You need to find something to do, Kim, something that will add value to your life and make you happy," I advised her, and she nodded, smiling at me. "We took sewing classes, and I have always wanted to go into fashion. When Emma is older, I will go to fashion school and proceed from there; Caleb a
Luke When we landed on Diamond Corp's helipad, I called Michelle Wilson to prepare something for Caleb, Mike and Me. "Alpha.." Michelle said, sounding a bit scared, and I wondered what had happened. I remembered that Tia sounded worried when I called her. I did not call back in the morning because
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
