Eduardo’s POV

“I have an interview at Seacrest hospital next week,” Ivy said, scrolling down her phone.

“Hopefully it goes well.” Jocelyn said, to which Ivy sighed and shrugged.

“I hope so too,” Ivy replied. “I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss working in Italy. I'm so used to the system over there that I don't even know if I can fit in with the American system.”

“You will do great, Ivy,” I said. “I'm sure of that.”

“I knew it,” Ivy hufffed, still fixated on her phone. “They said I'll have to take seven courses and be certified a doctor here before they can allow me to work. I knew this would happen.”

“So what will you do now?” Jocelyn asked.

Exhaling heavily, Ivy replied. “Well, I have no option other than to take the courses. I am not going back to Italy to work.”

Today was saturday, so the three of us were currently sitting on the balcony and having tea.

Earlier today, Jocelyn and Ivy had dropped Henry and Olivia off at their friend's house as it was his sixth birthday cel

    Jocelyn’s POV Walking into Eduardo's parents' house, I was shrouded with a wave of chilling cold that raced down my spine.The first and only time that I had come here was when Eduardo had introduced me to his mum and sister eight years ago.Time had really flown by fast.A woman who seemed to be in her early forties met us at the door.“Good afternoon, Mr Lopez. We spoke over the phone, I'm the nurse,” She said, outstretching her hand to Eduardo who shook it.“Oh, hi,” He replied then motioned to Ivy and I. “My girlfriend, Jocelyn and my little sister, Ivy.”She exchanged pleasantries with me before offering me her hand.“Hi,” I said, as the nurse clasped my hand in a firm handshake. “Your mum didn't mention you had a girlfriend,” The nurse said, darting an accusatory look at Eduardo and I. “She told me you were married.”“It's really complicated,” Eduardo said. “We will get to it later. Where's mum? I want to see her.”“Oh, right. Pardon my manners. Please forget I asked you a que

    Eduardo’s POV “Are you in yet?” Ivy's voice came from the other end of the line as I steered my car into the driveway.I was currently at home in the middle of the day to plan a surprise for Jocelyn as I planned on asking her to be my wife again today.To say I was nervous that my plan was going to fall through was probably an understatement because I hadn't been able to concentrate on work throughout the day.I was excited yet uncertain to see how things would turn out.“Nope, almost,” I replied, switching off the ignition and grabbing my phone and briefcase. “Today is really happening,” Ivy uttered. “I hope it goes well. Don't mess it up, okay?”“I won't even dare,” I replied, as I headed into the house.There was some shuffling before Ivy said. “You'd better not. Anyway, I have to go now. I'm cooking lunch for my niece and nephew.”Ivy had offered to take in Henry and Olivia for the night, so that Jocelyn and I could spend time with each other.Thus, she was going to pick up the

    Jocelyn’s POV I clung onto Eduardo's biceps as his strong arms pressed against the small of my back.My pussy sizzled with erotic hunger as he slid his hand in between my legs, dividing then and inching dangerously closer to my bed of feminity.Without a word, he pulled away from the kiss and looked into my eyes intently. “You are so beautiful.”“I know,” I whispered, impatience stirring within me. “Kiss me again.”“What's the magic word?” Eduardo teased, flicking my clitoris through the thin fabric of my panties.“P-Please,” I whizzed out. “Kiss and fuck me.”At the back of my mind, I still couldn't believe that Eduardo had really proposed to me but the blissful weight of the diamond ring on my finger confirmed that it had truly happened.Standing up, Eduardo lifted me bridal style then pressed a kiss to my lips. As I made to deepen it, he pulled away and chuckled, which made me huff.“You are so cute when you are horny,” He said, climbing the stairs.“I bet you won't find me cute w

    Jocelyn’s POV “Mummy, we are back,” Olivia's voice came from the sitting room as I stacked stick meats on a plate.“Welcome, baby,” I said. “Where's your dad?”Olivia and Eduardo had gone to the supermarket to pick up some groceries and wine.Henry had opted out of the trip to watch cartoons and periodically come to the kitchen to help me run some errands.“He's coming,” She replied. “Mummy, what are you making?”“I'm making a special type of salad,” I divulged. “The one your dad likes.”Being the weird person he was, Eduardo loved eating coleslaw salad with egg and peanut butter. Before I met him, I had never known such an absurd food combination to exist but after I did, I started to embrace his weirdness.“Mummy, can I help?” She asked, to which I nodded.“You can climb the stool and help me add chilli to the stew,” I said, moving out of the way, so she could climb the stool.“Okay, mummy,” She said, as I handed her the pepper shaker and stood behind her to watch her work.Her lit

Before the week runs out, remind me to forward the quarterly sales report to you, alright?”“Alright, sir.”“When is your leave again?” I asked.“In three months, sir,” He replied.“That's good,” I said. “You may leave, that's all I called you for.”With that, he exited my office while I returned my attention to the paperwork.It had been a week since I proposed to Joce

His sweat-glistened muscles were as sexy as ever, flexing as he walked up behind me and grabbed my waist, littering kissed down my nape.“I could live inside you forever,” He said, his hands weaving underneath my shirt to cup and fondle my boobs, turning the moaning switch within me on.Holding onto the edge of the dressing table for dear life, I tilted my neck sideways to give him full, unwavering access to the skin there as he moved fervently, eager to taste me.“W-W

Doing nothing but making love to my fiancée who I loved the most in the whole world was the best way to spend our vacation in my opinion.Jocelyn was the one who wanted to take a stroll because left to me, I didn't mind spending the entire day inside her.“We can move here if you want,” I said. “We will just find a way to move our kids and businesses over here.”Gazing into my eyes with her doe, brown eyes, Jocelyn giggled–a high,

How are you all doing?”“We are doing great,” Ivy replied then turned to the kids. “Am I right?”“Yes,” Henry and Olivia chorused. “That's great,” I replied. “I miss you all.”“We miss you too,” Ivy said. “I hope you are both having a nice time in Mauritius. Why am I even asking? You both look great which clearly means you are having a great time there.”Chuckling, Eduardo said. “We sure are. I hope Olivia and Henry haven't been giving you a lot of stress.”“Not at all,” Ivy responded. “They are actually angels. Little adorable angels.”“Aw,

    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

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.
