***MIRABELLA'S POV***I got out of my car and slammed the door shut in annoyance before walking into the building. How could it be so hard to find an investor for just one project?!I had spent my remaining hours making phone calls, going over the list of our partners and sending out emails but all had the same response.“Sorry, we want short term projects for now.” I mean I know four to five years is a long time to wait but this is people's health we're talking about. We'd be saving a large percentage of people with different neurological illnesses and that is worth waiting five years!The elevator door opened and I walked down the hallway until I got to my apartment door. I punched in the codes and the door unlocked but I was not prepared for the sight that welcomed me. “Surrender now, doctor octopus! You have nowhere to run to!” Alfred exclaimed with one leg on Easton's chest who laid on the floor.“Oh really? You underestimate me, Spider man. I'm not your regular villain!” And w
***MIRABELLA'S POV***I quickly freed myself from his hold and adjusted my top as I cleared my throat. “It's getting late, Easton. Don't you think you should leave?” I asked as I glanced at Alfred who seemed to be focused on his drawing.“Yeah, I guess it's late.” Easton sighed as he pulled his sleeves down. He turned to Alfred and a small smile appeared on his lips.“Don't you think now is the perfect time to tell him?” He asked and I stared at him with furrowed brows, wondering what he was hinting at but I quickly realized what he meant when my gaze landed on Alfred.Easton turned to me when I didn't respond, and he raised his brow at me.“Don't tell me you changed your mind?” He asked and I could see the hurtful look in his eyes.“I didn't change my mind, Easton. I just... I don't know how he would react to it.”“The longer we wait, the more difficult it'll be for him to adjust. I want to be there for you both, Mirabella. Please, give me a chance.” Easton responded and I let out a
***EASTON'S POV***“And they little torture finally made it to the sea.” I said and slowly closed the book I was reading when I noticed Alfred had successfully drifted off to sleep. I looked up at Mirabella and smiled when I saw her sleeping soundly next to Alfred.I slowly pulled the blanket and covered them both, placing a kiss on Alfred's head before slowly leaving the room, so as to not wake Mirabella.From the time we spent together, I knew she wasn't a deep sleeper so any slight noise would wake her up. She must have had a stressful day at work for her to have fallen asleep so fast.I walked into the living room and glanced around, a bright smile on my face. I walked towards the picture stand, picking up one of the photos of Mirabella and Alfred.Alfred looked a lot younger there and he clung onto Mirabella like she would disappear if he didn't. I could see how much they loved each other from that single photo, and I felt really proud of Mirabella.I was lucky to have her as the
***ROMAN'S POV***“Roman! Just in time.” Mirabella beamed the moment the door opened and I smiled at her before walking in.“How long will you be gone again?” I asked as I made my way into the living but halted when my gaze landed on the last person I had expected to see.“Daddy!” Alfred beamed and ran up to me and I forced my gaze away from Easton as I hugged Alfred, placing a soft kiss on his head.“Where are you off to so early?” I asked, choosing to ignore Easton even though I could feel his intense gaze trying to bore a hole into my head. “A picnic outing with daddy!” Alfred exclaimed and I furrowed my brows.“Picnic outing? I wasn't informed.” I turned to Mirabella with a perplexed expression.“Not you, Daddy Roman.” Alfred said and pointed at Easton who had a small smirk on his lips.I widened my eyes in shock. When did he find out?!“Freddy, don't you think you should stop calling Mr. Lawrence daddy? You have me now, you don't need to call anyone else daddy.” Easton said prou
***EASTON'S POV***I let out a sigh the moment the door closed. I didn't mean to act out like that, I just couldn't help but get jealous, seeing Roman so close to my family. I get that he was there for her when I wasn't but now it just feels like he is everywhere.Mirabella might see him as a friend but I know he has feelings for her. The way he looks at her, the way he looks at Alfred, the way he acts so protective around her, he definitely sees her as more than just a close friend.“Daddy, can we get going now? We're going to be late if you keep staring into space like that.” Alfred's voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I smiled at him.“Of course, let's go.” I said and cleared the dining table, and then we left the apartment.“Daddy, why do adults fight a lot when they love each other?” Alfred suddenly asked and I glanced at him from the rear mirror.“What makes you think that?”“You and mommy fight almost all the time you're together.” He responded and I let out a sigh.“Things
***LOGAN'S POV*** “You imbecile!” I snapped as I hit the tip of the gun on one of my idiot men's head, sending him to the ground. “I'm sorry, boss. Please forgive me.” He pleaded and I clenched my fist. “Who told you to fucking shoot at a kid?! I simply said scare Easton a little you fool!” I thundered and he lowered his head to the ground. “I'm sorry, boss. I'm sorry.” “You better pray that man doesn't die or I'll kill you myself!” I yelled before storming into my house. How could they mess up a simple plan like this?! I knew I have gone myself but what's the point of having them if I have to do every fucking thing myself! “How did it go?” I turned around to see Nicole standing by her door. “What do you think?” I asked and continued my way up the stairs. “Judging from the look on your face, I'd say something went wrong?” She asked with a knowing grin. “Just say what's on your fucking mind before I lose my patience.” I responded not stoping until I was back in my study and s
***EASTON'S POV*** I paced back and forth in the waiting room as I awaited news from the doctors. Jerald had been rushed into the emergency operation room and we were yet to hear from them. It's been half an hour now and Sandy had cried herself to sleep on Helen's laps. Alfred looked extremely sad and he just sat there quietly, so quiet that I was beginning to worry something was wrong with him as well. Did he get hurt from the fall somehow? “Easton! Alfred!” I turned around in shock on hearing Mirabella's voice and no, I wasn't hallucinating. She was right there as she rushed towards us, looking a bit disheveled. “Mommy!” Alfred suddenly burst out crying as he ran into Mirabella's arms. “I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I shouldn't have left you alone. Mommy is so sorry.” She cried out as she hugged Alfred as though her life depended on it. “Are you hurt? Does it hurt anywhere?” She asked worriedly as she scrutinized Alfred's body and he shook his head. “Sandy's dad got hurt. He pu
TWO WEEKS LATER***MIRABELLA'S POV***As we watched the priest say a prayer over Jerald's grave, I couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my cheeks. I may not have known him for long, but knowing the fact that Sandy had lost both parents at such a young age really broke my heart.She was standing next to Easton and I and contrary to my expectations, she wasn't crying. She just stood there, silent, as though she didn't fully understand what was going on but I could see she was in pain. Her eyes looked very sad.Easton and I had tried to reach out to any of her extended family members but even after two weeks, we couldn't get a hold of anyone, and so we decided to hold Jerald's burial ourselves.After the ceremony, everyone began trying to comfort Sandy. Most parents from Blakemore Academy had come, including Helen and Gina.“We are so sorry, Little Sandy. Everything is going to be alright, okay?” Helen said to Sandy as she forced back her tears but the little one just stared at He
~KIARA~ The rest of the week was a blast. Phoenix and I really bonded over a short period of knowing each other. She was wild, more wild than myself but really cool. We had a lot in common too, including our undying love for fashion.“My boyfriend is hosting a party tonight. Wanna come?” Phoenix asked me as we both battled each other in a game of street fighter.I decided to hang out at her place after our classes were over.“I think I'll pass. I promised to spend the night with my sis —”“Are you her babysitter? Come on, Kiki. I'm talking lots of drinks, yummy snacks and hot guys! How can you possibly turn this down over a night with your sis when you can spend the rest of your life with her?” Phoenix probed and I let out a sigh.I did say she was wild.The offer was great but I wasn't interested in hot guys. I just wanted one - Gabriel. And so far, I've been doing a really shitty job at getting him to fall for me. I haven't even seen him ever since he showed up at the apartment, an
~KIARA~It was as though the air in my lungs had vanished and I was suddenly breathless, my heart thudding violently against my chest and I could feel the palm of my hands getting wet. Why was I so nervous? I guess I wasn't expecting to see him first thing upon my arrival.“Hey, Kiddo. Sandy told me she would be here, so I came to pick her up.” Gabriel said with a small smile on those deliciously looking lips of his — godmanit what's wrong with me!“Oh... Um, she left a while ago.” I stuttered so badly that I wished the ground would just swallow me whole.But then it suddenly hit me. Sandy did this on purpose! Else why would she ask Gabriel to pick her up when she had her own wheels and she literally rushed out of the apartment. I bet she didn't even need to go to the clinic today.“Oh, well in that case —”“Would you like to come in?” I asked, cutting him off. I mean if Sandy wanted to play matchmaker, then I might as well make the most of it.“Sure.” He shrugged and I stepped as
~KIARA~I took a deep breath as I crossed the main gates of Ousen University, a bright smile on my face. I was finally in Ousen! My transfer application got approved a month ago, and now I was to complete my registration before finally being seen as an official Ousen student.“First day here?” I turned to the side and noticed a girl standing next to me. Her appearance took me aback at first but at second glance, it settled in.Her hair was a mix of purple and black, parted at the side and stopped just above her shoulders. She wore a black strapless crop top and light blue bum short, and had a bird tattoo on her shoulder which stopped some distance before her elbow, and lastly, a nose piercing.She was giving off gothic vibes and at first glance, one would think she was a meanie but I wasn't one to judge people based on appearance... Well since Natasha of course.“How did you know?” I asked with a slight smile.“You're standing at the gates with a bright smile on your face as though y
~SANDY~“Sandy, take me with you when next you go to meet your aunt.” Kiara suddenly blurted out and I turned to her with a smile.“You sure?”“Of course. I want to meet your cousins and who knows, Andrew might just be my type.” She squirled and I chuckled softly.“Over Gabriel already?” I asked her with a smirk and she stared at me in shock, her expression laced with panic as her eyes darted around the living room as though searching for someone or something.“Why would you say that out loud? What if Alfred heard you?” She asked worriedly.“Heard what?” Alfred walked in that moment and Kiara's face lost all colors.We were both in the living room, watching a movie and chatting. It's been ages since we spent time together this way and I decided to make the most of every little time at hand.Hailey had suddenly gone back home due to an emergency and we haven't heard from her for almost a week now.I really hope she was doing alright as this was unlike her to be unreachable for so long.
~SANDY~As disappointed as I was that I couldn't get my release, my priority at that moment was chasing after Kiara who had run out of the room after obviously being traumatized by what she had just seen.“Kiara, Kiara!” I yelled out her name but she kept running until she reached the living room before I finally caught up with her, dragging her back by her hand.“What were you thinking, Sandy?! I know I wanted you and my brother to be together but not like this! He's engaged for goodness sake!” Kiara scolded me but I simply smiled at her, happy she wasn't upset based on me being with Alfred but rather because she thought he was still engaged.“Kiara —”“Don't try to reason with me. I'm telling Mom right now so you two don't have to suffer anymore. If you're too much of a coward to make your relationship public then I will!” She snapped, cutting me off and was about to walk away but I pulled her back again.“Kiara it's not like that —”“Don't try to tell me it's not what I think. I cl
~SANDY~I smiled the moment we walked out of the airport, inhaling the fresh cool breeze that was blowing non-stop.We were finally back in New York and it felt like I had been gone forever.“You ready?” Alfred asked as he walked up to me, taking my hand in his and I bobbed my head in response, a bright smile on my face.We got to the mansion soon enough and Alfred rang the doorbell which opened shortly after, revealing a rather grumpy Kiara.Her face lit up the moment she saw me and she ran past Alfred as she engulfed me in a tight hug.“Sandy! My gosh you're finally back.” She beamed and I hugged her back tightly.“It's good to see you too, Kiki.” Alfred sighed and Kiara turned to him with a small smile.“Since you brought Sandy back in one piece, I guess I'm happy to see you too.” She responded before dragging me into the house.Mr. Easton had just settled down on the dining table, ready to have his breakfast when his gaze landed on us.“Sandy?” He called just to be certain and I b
~SANDY~ I slowly opened my eyes, feeling sore all over, especially between my legs. I felt a heavy weight like a blanket keeping me still and slowly realized it was Alfred's big arms wrapped protectively around me. My cheeks flushed as the memories of last night resurfaced. I couldn't believe what we did, what I did last night. It was as though I had been possessed by a lustful sex driven demon or something that just couldn't get enough of it. I slowly turned around, trying not to wake Alfred up. He was still fast asleep and looked utterly worn out. I did that. I must have drained him out last night, and to think it was actually my first time! “Did you sleep well?” His hoarse voice resonated in the room and I widened my eyes in shock. How long has he been awake?! He slowly opened his eyes, his beautiful hazel green eyes meeting my gaze. “Good morning.” He smiled at me and I found myself burying my face in the sheets. I didn't know how to face him after what happened. I didn'
~ALFRED~ As Sandy rode me, my hands found her hips, guiding her as she increased the pace, her breathy moans mingling with mine. We were two halves of a whole, our bodies moving in perfect harmony as we chased our release. “I love you!” She cried out, her body shuddering as she came, her inner walls clamping down on my cock. But she didn't stop, instead continuing to ride me with renewed fervor. I realized in that moment that I had unleashed a horny, sex-starved beast within Sandy. Sandy’s hunger for me was insatiable. As I tried to catch my breath, she reached for my hand and placed it on her breasts, urging me to pinch and twist her nipples as she rode me. “Oh, yes baby!” She moaned out while I cursed under my breath, letting out low groans of pleasure. My hips bucked against her, matching her frantic pace as I lost myself in the waves of ecstasy. I groaned as I came inside her once more, my release mingling with hers as we collapsed onto the bed in a sweaty heap. But
~ALFRED~ I broke the kiss after what seemed like forever, giving Sandy room to catch her breath as I leaned my head against hers. “This is your chance to back down, Sandra Willows. If we keep going at this rate, I won't stop until I've claimed all of you, every inch of you, and every fiber in your body as mine.” I warned but the look in her eyes told me she wanted this just as much as I did. “Take me, Alfred. I want you. All of you.” She breathed and I reconnected our lips almost immediately, this time in a more gentle kiss. I lifted her up in one swift motion, walking towards the dinning table and gently placing her on it without breaking the kiss. The kiss was a slow burn, our lips moving together in a sensual dance. I savored the taste of Sandy's lips, drinking in her moans and sighs as my hands roamed her body. Her skin was soft beneath my touch, her curves fitting perfectly into my palms. I felt her hands grip my shoulders, her fingers digging into my skin as our kiss intens
