Jocelyn’s POV

A smile creased my lips as my phone vibrated with a call from Ivy.

“Hey, Jo,” Ivy's voice wafted into my ears as soon as I answered the call. “How are you doing and how is work?”

“Hi, Ivy,” I replied, my smile widening. “I'm doing great. Work is fine too. How are you?”

“I'm doing okay as well. How are the kids doing? I spoke to Eduardo last night, did he tell you?” Ivy asked.

“Yeah, he did,” I said.

“It's feels good speaking freely like this to you again,” Ivy said. “I'm so glad everything is back to normal again, we can chat and gossip like we used to in the past.”

“Yeah, me too.”

“By the way, I heard about your mum's death. It completely escaped my mind the other day we spoke,” Ivy uttered, voice solemn. ‘“Please accept my late sincerest condolences.”

“It's fine, Ivy,” I laughed. “Thanks anyway.”

“You are welcome,” Ivy replied, then paused for a moment before exhaling heavily like she was in distress.

My heart panged with worry Instantly for her. “Are you alright?”

    Jocelyn’s POV “Mummy, can I have frozen berries?” Olivia asked as we trekked into the house.The three of us; Henry, Olivia, and I were back from work and school respectively.Eduardo was supposed to pick them up from school but apparently, he had an important business dinner to attend, so he couldn't collect them from the kindergarten.“Yes, baby,” I said, placing my bag on the nearest couch. “Now that you say it, I also feel like eating some frozen berries.”Olivia and I exchanged a smile while Henry took off his shoes before I headed to the kitchen.However, I was disappointed when I saw that there were no frozen berries left in the refrigerator. Only then did I remember that Eduardo and I had snacked with the remaining packet last night.Not wanting to go back to the living room empty-handed, I grabbed a packet of grape with three apples.Afterward, I rinsed the fruits, slice them into a plate, put the plate on a tray then grabbed two plastic forks before heading back to the sitt

    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

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

    Jocelyn’s POV “You look so fuckable right now, baby,” Eduardo said as I checked the tiny pimple of my forehead in the mirror.I was currently donning his hoodie with nothing but my panties underneath, as we had spent the whole of last night fucking like rabbits in heat.My back still ached blissfully which filled me with a sense of lustful nostalgia.“Well then come fuck me,” I said, staring at him through the mirror, my lips curved with a suggestive smirk.Eduardo was up and standing immediately in nothing but boxers. 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

    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

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.

    Jocelyn's POV “As my lady pleases,” Eduardo said, before placing me on the floor. Arousal pooled within me, mixing up with my blood and flowing through my veins as Eduardo knelt in front of me, his arms hooked around my waist and his lips pressed to my navel. Instinctively wrapping my hands around his head, I threw my head back in pleasure even though Eduardo was yet to touch me. The pure, undiluted sensation of his skin on mine was enough to send me tipping over the edge. Repressing the urge to have a premature orgasm, I fluttered my eyes open and looked into his, melting at how sexy his lust-addled grey eyes looked. Pressing another kiss to my navel, Eduardo ran his hands from my ass cheeks to my back down and rested on my ass before he stood up, lifted me bridal style and pressed a kiss to my forehead. Thereafter, he placed me on the bed, intense arousal glinting across his grey eyes as he withdrew from the kiss to plant a kiss on my boobs. Looking into my eyes, he moved do

Don't forget to call us right away if the kids are too much to handle.” I said, to which she scoffed.“Come on, Josie. I can look after my babies very well, so don't think about anything and just focus on having fun.” She said, winking, which made me blush.“Bye, Ivy.” Eduardo said, cinching his seatbelt. “We will be sure to take your word and have a lot of fun.”Thereafter, he drove off and I watched Ivy wave after our moving car, through the sideview mirror.“My beautiful wife,” Eduardo said, taking his eyes off the road to look at me and take my hand in his free one. “I still can't believe that you are mine even though we exchanged rings a couple of hours ago.”“Are you drunk?” I asked.“Do I look drink?”“No,” I replied. “You are just cheesier than usual.” I teased him, and he chuckled before pressing a kiss to the back of my hand.“But honestly spe
