Jocelyn’s POV

“Henry is going to be so excited when he sees us,” Nancy said, as I steered my car into the parking lot of Gemma's elementary.

“Right? I can't wait to see the huge smile on his face.” I replied, as I switched off the ignition and stepped out of the car.

Nancy was currently on a leave at the moment, so she had more than enough time to spend with Henry and I.

“Let's go, babes.” Nancy beckoned me over, and we both entered the building of the kindergarten, then made our way to the waiting area, where parents picked up their wards.

To my utter surprise, Henry didn't even twitch his lips, talk less of smile when he saw us.

His face was mauled with a huge frown and his lips pressed into a thin, pissed line.

On reaching us, he muttered. “Hi, mummy. Hi, Aunty Nancy.”

“Hey, sweetie. Did something happen?” I asked, crouching to his height as Nancy moved behind him, gently stroking his hair.

“No.” He shook his head in negation but I could clearly see through him, and I knew he was

    Eduardo’s POV “You can attend the luncheon with Marshall corporation on my behalf,” I told Rafael as I scribbled my signature on the paperwork on my desk.“Alright, sir,” He responded. “By the way, Mr Cruz called again and we told him that you're currently in Greece for a conference.”“That's very good of you,” I nodded. “You may leave. I will let you know when I'm done signing the documents.”“Very well, sir.” Rafael said, before leaving my office.Chuckling, I shook my head as I thought of the ways I had been avoiding meeting up with Damien, ever since the day we met at the hospital.I had given him multiple signals to show him that I wasn't interested in rekindling our friendship yet he had been bothering me.In all honesty, it wasn't like we were that close in college. We had just taken many classes together and naturally, we spoke a lot to each other, nothing more.I knew nothing about him other than that his family owned a software development company, nothing more, and I hadn'

    Jocelyn’s POV “You shouldn't be doing this,” A voice in my head echoed, as Eduardo hooked his arms around my waist, tongue slipping into the sensual warmth of my mouth.Having Eduardo's tongue shoved down my throat wasn't my plan at all, yet I couldn't bring myself to push him away.Not when my pussy was throbbing and wet for his touch.Coming here to Eduardo's company, my plan had been to discuss business with him, particularly regarding me purchasing some of his company shares.I was scared of my emotions messing things up and had decided to start acting according to plan yet here I was, a squirming mess in his hold.My plan was to purchase several of his company shares using both Roshome and various fake companies. Then, I would wait for the right time to strike and claim his company as mine.According to Amelia, the court proceedings regarding Eduardo's fraudulent business partner were still underway, and I knew it was a matter of time before Eduardo would also get investigated.

    Eduardo’s POV “Ensure you submit the sales memo to the audit department before the day ends,” I instructed Rafael as we walked into my office. We had just returned from the weekly departmental meeting. “Yes, sir.” Taking my seat on my swivel chair, I mused. “Good. You may leave.” “Sir, there's something you need to know,” Rafael uttered. “What is that?” I raised a brow. “Roshome is asking to buy fifteen percent of LZ shares,” He divulged. “I got the email this afternoon.” “Is that so?” I mumbled, inwardly wondering why Jocelyn hadn't mentioned being interested in having shares in my company. “Yes, sir.” She had probably been overwhelmed by the tantalizing sex that we had the other day. Delicious lust coursed through my veins at the salacious thought, as my pants tightened at the crotch area. Now that I thought of it, she had probably come here the other day to tell me that she wanted to purchase shares, but things had gone tawdry and we had ended naked and entw

    Jocelyn’s POV“Hi, girl,” Nancy said as she walked into my office, holding a bag which she raised. “I brought you lunch.”Standing up to collect the bag, I replied. “Have I ever told you how much I love you?”“Not in a while,” Nancy laughed. “But I definitely would like to hear it now.”“I love you so freaking much, Nancy,” I said, looking into the bag which contained five tupperwares, a bottle of water with another bottle of apple juice.Again and again, I was convinced Nancy was an angel in human form because there was no way someone could be so dedicated and selfless.She was simply the best and I could never dream of taking our friendship for granted.“I love you too, Josie,” Nancy smiled. “I have to leave for work in like five minutes. I wish Damien would just cancel the stupid conference.”At the mention of Damien's name, a dull feeling of guilt wrapped around my chest, which I willed away, allowing pleasant thoughts to float into my mind.Some weeks back when I told Nancy that

    Jocelyn’s POV Inhaling shakily, I caressed my mother's wedding ring which I had attached to a necklace and worn around my neck for that day.Today was the fifth anniversary of my mother's death.It was always the worst day of the year for me and I never looked forward to it because that day always reminded me of how I had failed my mother.My mother had been diagnosed with heart failure three months before Eduardo divorced me. The poor woman had tried all she could to get me to come home, so she could tell me, but I had been so desperate to please Eduardo and his ungrateful mother that I had ignored my mother.“Let's not do this today,” I whispered to myself. “Please let's stop feeling guilty. The damage is done.”Stroking the wedding ring one last time, I headed downstairs where Henry was waiting, already dressed in a black suit, which I bought for today.“Let's go, baby.” I said, and he nodded before taking my hand.“Is aunty Nancy going to meet us there?” Henry asked as I buckled

Repressing the urge to untuck his cock from his boxers and guide it into myself, I stroked him gently as he kissed down my lips to my throat.“Your mouth feels so good,” I whispered into the kiss, as Eduardo gently maneuvered me to lie on my belly, while he splayed himself atop me, his kisses never ending and intense.Wild flames of erotic gratification spread through me like a fire in a thick forest as he reached beneath my skirt, to cup my wetness.Gasping, I held onto the bench handle for dear life as juices of arousal trickled down my pussy.Fuck, I was so horny and gone in lust for Eduardo.I had only planned on basking in the calming natural breeze of the night, not getting backshots under the stars.Making love under the stars wasn't bad of cours

    Sofia’s POV“Good morning, ma,” I smiled at my mum as she walked downstairs. “Did you sleep well?”“Good morning, dear. Yes, I did,” She replied, taking her seat beside me. “Where's Olivia? Has she had breakfast yet?”Stifling the urge to roll my eyes, I nodded in affirmation. “Yes, she has. She's upstairs doing some schoolwork.”Darting me a stern look, mum said. “Sofia, I don't like the way you treat your daughter at all. The poor child did nothing to you, her father did. So why must she suffer for his crime?”“Mum, you know I'm always busy with work and whatnot,” I fibbed. “The little time I have is what I spend with her. I'm not a bad mum, I promise. And she knows I love her even more than myself.”Mum gazed at me, eyes full of skepticism then shrugged. “Well, if you say so. I just want to implore you to spend a little more time with her. Don't make her feel unwanted, okay?”“Yes, ma. I won't.”Inwardly, I couldn't help but scoff as mum helped herself to generous servings of yello

    Jocelyn’s POV I woke up to the sound of machines beeping next to me.As I winked an eye open, a tangy antiseptic smell infiltrated my line of smell, causing me to scrunch my nose in distaste for a moment.After a while, I squeezed my eyes open and squinted instantly as sunlight diffracted through the window panes, into my eyes.Looking around, I realized that I was in a hospital room, and also experiencing numbness from my waist down which made me put two and two together as I stared at my moderately big stomach.Melon was out.I managed a weak smile as I clasped my hands together before something clicked in my head.My baby wasn't with me.As I made to rip the IV off my wrist and go in search of a doctor, the door opened and my obstetrician, Dr Wineheart, walked in, clad in grey scrubs.“You are finally awake,” He said. “Welcome back to life.”“Thanks,” I replied. “Where's my baby?”Sure, I had managed to get over the trauma of losing a child the first and second time, but I knew I

    Jocelyn’s POV “I’m seeing someone,” Ivy uttered, as she took her seat beside me, a simmering cup of ginger tea in her hold. “He's also a doctor. He was recently transferred here from Norway.”“Finally,” I squeaked, clapping my hands together in excitement.“I have to get over Brian somehow, don't I?” She shrugged then took a sip of tea.“Hold on, you are using the new guy as a rebound?” I asked. “Really, Ivy?”“Don't judge me,” Ivy sighed, throwing her hands in surrender. “In all honesty, he's not a rebound because I kind of like him too. He's funny, tall, and handsome.”For peace to reign, I decided against pushing the subject further and instead remain on the current topic which was the new guy.“So how and when did he ask you out?”“Three days ago after we finished a surgery together,” Ivy chuckled. “A romantic to the core, isn't he?”“I guess he is in a way,” I replied.“He told me he got an epiphany during the surgery and realized that life was too short to keep one's feelings h

    Jocelyn’s POV As I flipped through the pages of a maternity book, a knock came on the door of the bedroom before Eduardo let himself in, a smile playing on his handsome face.“Hi, baby. How are you?” He asked, walking over to press a kiss to my lips and forehead.“Good,” I replied, rubbing my gargantuan belly. “The baby is kicking gently today which is quite surprising. If I didn't have an experience with pregnancy, I would have asked you to drive me to the hospital, so we could get her checked.”I was currently in the seventh month and last trimester of my pregnancy, and as much as I loved my unborn baby girl, I couldn't wait for it to come out.Last week, I had found out that I was having a girl via the surprise baby shower Amelia and Ivy had thrown me and I was very excited to meet my little baby girl.However, being cooped up at home for the past three months could be sickening and frustrating because I was always alone in the house.Three months ago during an appointment with my

    Eduardo’s POV Leaning against the doorway of our bedroom, I observed Jocelyn as she laid, cocooned in the blanket, face scrunched up in displeasure and possible ache, which she wouldn't admit.She had been like that for the past five hours and it was currently ten in the morning.I had come home last night to meet Ivy having dinner with the kids and Jocelyn copoed up in bed, burning hot with a temperature.All my efforts to get her to go to the hospital had been in vain, as she had vehemently stated she was fine and didn't need to be assessed by a doctor.Right now, as I looked at her, I mentally admonished myself for listening to her last night, instead of doing a better job of persuading her to see a doctor.“That does it, baby. We are going to the hospital,” I said, and watched her try but fail to sit up.I was instantly at her side, propping a pillow behind her and covering her with the blanket.“Thanks, Ed,” She said then sneezed into the handkerchief in her hand. “I don't need

    Jocelyn’s POV I winced as the back of my head tightened with an excruciating ache, stifling the urge to groan in pain.“The sales memo and the quarterly report were thoroughly reviewed and evaluated by me yesterday, so everything should be perfect,” The team leader of sales department, Micheal Gould, said into the microphone, aggravating my migraine.“Okay, that's good.’ I forced myself to say, balling my hands into fists and placing it on my lap.I couldn't help but wonder why I had such a bad headache that afternoon, as the voices in the conference room blurred, and the sound of my heart thumping filled my ears.My mouth was hot, my lips numb, and my body warm as the ache intensified.I had woken up hale and hearty today, excited for the start of a new work week, and mine and Eduardo's impending dinner that was supposed to happen later today.But given how I seemed to have fallen ill all of a sudden, I knew the dinner would likely not happen anymore.The mere thought of it was beyo

    Eduardo’s POV “It's been less than a year since I left yet it feels like a decade has passed,” Jocelyn said, one hand out of the window and her eyes squeezed shut as the wind tousled her long, auburn hair.Even though she couldn't see it, I darted her a smirk before turning my attention to the road.We were currently in Australia for the week, as Henry and Olivia were currently on summer break.Jocelyn and I had decided to take them to Australia, mainly because we wanted to expose Olivia to the country and stuff.Due to the sick plan Nancy had pulled, she had been unable to spend time in Australia with her mother and sibling.Although that was in the past now, I couldn't help but feel vitriolic anger toward both Nancy and Sofia whenever I thought about it.But as Jocelyn had told me the other day, focusing on the bad things that happened in the past instead of being pleased and grateful with one's current situation, wasn't the right thing to do.I had Jocelyn and my wonderful childre

    Jocelyn’s POV I inhaled shakily as I stroked my fingers across the framed picture of Henry and Olivia on the nightstand.In a few hours time, my babies would turn six and ten years from now on, they would be in high school.Another two years later, they would be in college and before I knew it, they would have their respective families.Of course I knew a day like that was still several years away, I couldn't help but feel a sort of bittersweet emotion at the mere thought.To think about six years ago, they and their brother in heaven, had been in my belly, wrapped around each other, small, tiny, pink, and completely helpless was so heartbreaking yet heartwarming.“Come on, Josie. We promised to focus on the positive part, didn't we?” I chided myself, using the back of my hand to wipe off my tears.Just then, the bathroom door creaked and Eduardo walked out.“Babe, what time are we picking up the cake?

    Jocelyn’s POV “Ivy, you know I will never judge you, right?” I asked her.“Yes, I know. Where's this coming from?” She replied with a question of her own which made me huff.“Cut it out, Ivy. It's been three weeks since you told me about whatever happened between you and Brian at the wedding,” I said, and she sighed. “Ever since then, you have been seemingly avoiding coming over to our place. What is going on, Ivy?”There was silence for a couple of moments that I almost thought Ivy had hung up on him.As I removed my phone to check if the call was still ongoing, she sighed again. “I will tell you everything in due time, Josie. It's kinda a serious matter.”“Are you pregnant and he's refusing to accept it?” I blurted out the first question that came to mind.“No, of course not,” She replied, sounding amused. “We had sex that night.”“Oh,” I said, suddenly at a loss for words.I mean, it was very evident, given the sexual tension between them that something like that may or may not ha

Let's be on our way,” I replied, stowing the lipgloss away into my drawer. “This meeting has to end in thirty minutes. Forty five max.”“Oh, are you going somewhere, Miss?”“Yes. Today is Sports day at the kindergarten and my children will not forgive me if I fail to show up,” I divulged. “I already missed their final practice last week because I had to close the Braxton deal.”“Perhaps we should just postpone today's meeting then.” Amelia suggested, and I shook my head in negation.“No, we can't do that. I have been postponing this meeting for three months now,” I replied. “I want to get it done and over with. Plus work starts at the sight in about a week from now.”The meeting was to discuss my latest area of investment; the wine industry.I had taken an interest in the industry after I mistakenly made a bottle of grape wine.
