"She was asking too many questions, which was odd." The guy she pointed out as Justin said, holding a silver knife. "Suddenly, I learned she packed up and was trying to leave. So I caught her and decided to teach her a lesson. Boy, did she sing! She didn't want to, but she complied when her son cam
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
"Did he confess to anything?" I asked, and Bart shook his head. "Nothing," He said, and I got pissed off at what was happening. I needed peace, for fucks sake. And no one was ready to give me that. My bump was showing a bit, so I robbed it. I knew someone killed the guy to cover their tracks, but I
Not knowing what was happening with Luke had damaged the man, and I wished he could give me some hope by being strong, but he wasn't helping at all, and I became scared too. Since it was coming to this, I decided to go to Santa Braee to look for my husband. "Where are the letters?" Aesop asked Cale
"As long as it has nothing to do with Luke dying, I can handle it," I said, urging him to speak. He smiled at me and shook his head. "These are tough times, Tia, and we cannot look divided. That is why I will ask you to step down as Luna and allow Caleb and Kimberly to take over for now. Until Luke
Luke. I sat on the chair and did not know what to do, but I had a wife to go home to, and I promised I would return no matter what. I could not let these people kill my teammates. Their lives were meaningful, and I wasn't going to sit and let a pimp waste them. The silver binds had sealed our fate.
"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 I could not believe the relief I felt seeing that the man I had just punched was my husband. I could not stop crying, and he came to hold me. "Why did you stay so long," I wept uncontrollably. I was relieved that he was back. I had packed my bags, ready to go to Santa Braee to find him. I did
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
