“Wait. Could you let me have a say? We need to meet with the rest of the women to agree, and then we can have a wedding in the small world.” Blake explained, placing his hand on Tabby’s cheek for comfort. “I know your desires and will fulfill them to the best of my abilities, but you must convince them, okay?”Tabby nodded and then looked at Claire with hopeful eyes.“You already have my vote if it’s what you want, on one condition,” Claire said with her arms folded.“What? I’ll try to accommodate you.” Tabby replied.“You must let yourself be known to mother before you can have any children with Blake. I want to have the whole family together.” Claire replied in surprise to Tabby.“I’ll arrange it this week when I go to the Capital and help Jake with the business problems they are facing,” Blake replied with his hand on his chin.“Can’t wait to get Tabby, heh?” Claire asked seductively, teasing as she leaned on Blake.“Cough, no, I’ve meant to get Tabby back into society; having her
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Blake, who was drinking, spat it out because he was so surprised by her comment, making him wipe the table and his chin.“You, you want to be together?” Tabby asked to clarify her statement.“We are twins. Is it shocking that I want to have a baby simultaneously with you? We did everything together, and I don’t see this as anything different.” Tabitha replied, rising from her seat. “If you want, we can go now.”“Now, hold up. Don’t I have a say in this?” Blake rebutted into their conversation.“Are, are you rejecting me? Tabitha asked with fear.“No, no. I just want Tabby to get to know her mother and reintegrate her into society before we get married in the small world and consummate the marriage. Claire made this specification with her consent to proceed with this arrangement. This will be done this week while I’m also in the Capital and ….”“Fine, we will get married next month,” Tabitha said, waving her hand as if it was a done deal.The
“You, you, what have you done?” Lucas asked, stammering with fear. These were highly trained men he had brought with him. ‘First Blake, and now a woman with a rolling pin. What is going on?’“I’m Consuela Shushue, the protector of madam, assigned by master George Weston. No one is to lay a finger on the madam while I’m here. Now take your men and leave. I have dinner to prepare.” Consuela said, still swinging her pin in her hand. “Or do you want a nap also?”Lucas could only click his tongue and dragged the men out of the home with the help of his driver.“This isn’t over, Julie. The reign of the Elon family is ending, and you will be sorry you didn’t come to me. This is my final warning for our shared time and my two daughters’ future. Stay away from Blake Elon.” Lucas said before departing from the Villa.“Are you alright, madam?” Consuela asked with deep concern, looking her up and down. “I promised the master I would take good care of you, not to mention my promise to the handsome
“What the hell, Claire?” Sylvia was the first one to exclaim.“I want a divorce, and it can be done next week,” Claire stated. “ We don’t have the contract anymore, and we can end this false marriage at any time, so let’s divorce.”“Are you kidding me? After all that happened, you even have his children, and now you want to divorce him?” Tabby asked, getting upset.“I’m sure sister has a very good reason for the change. Sara, what did you two talk about to have Claire declare for a divorce?” Tabitha asked.Claire and Sara looked at each other, and for some unknown reason, they began giggling.“Oh, it’s a joke, ha, ha, you really got me there,” Blake said, placing his hand behind his head in nervousness.“Oh, this is no joke, mister. We will get a divorce, and then you will inform the Shuler family to hold the engagement party and have the wedding next month. After, you and I will get remarried along with the rest of the ladies. Is it clear now? Poor Sara, she can’t wait for another tw
Blake awoke before Claire as she lay on top of him, for they had tired themselves out over their energetic escapade last night. Slowly releasing himself from Claire’s grasp, he only marveled over her luscious body. Not wanting to repeat what happened last night, Blake quickly left the room. Surprisingly he found Tabby in the kitchen preparing breakfast.“Morning, how are we on this fine Tuesday?” Blake asked, grabbing a cup of coffee.“Humph.” Was all Tabby replied as she continued working on the eggs.“Is there something bothering you?” Blake asked over his mug.Slamming the pan on the stove, she looked at him like he was a fool for asking.“Do you two even consider what the neighbors thought from your antics last night?” Tabby asked, heating the pan for the eggs.Puzzled, Blake looked at her and replied. “Neighbors? I have the whole floor to ourselves; we have no neighbors.”“What am I if not a neighbor? It was three this morning until you two finally went to sleep. With Claire call
Blake came out of the bathroom, donning only a towel around his waist and another drying his hair.“And that right there does not help the situation,” Claire stated, rising from the table and heading to Blake, blocking his path into his room.“Care to explain yourself, mister?” Claire asked sternly.“Huh? What’s wrong? I only took a shower.” Blake explained himself.“Not that. You have been neglecting your duties as a husband, sir.” Claire continued.‘Neglected my duties as a husband? What is she saying? I’m sure I’ve been with her throughout the process of childcare and caring for her.’ Blake is none the wiser about why Claire would say this.“Uhm, what are you talking about? I’ve been helping with the kids and….”“I’m not talking about that. Are you or are you not considered the husband to my sisters?” Claire asked sternly.“Ye, yes, I would say we are in a relationship close to that assumption.”“Then let me ask you this very important question.”“Okay, what?”“When was the last ti
“Mr. Elon, they did, only____ it was in the dark. I was the one who strategically planned the business model they were working on, but I was not given credit due to the position I held within the family. That was why grandfather was adamant and didn’t want me to leave the Carlson family; no one else is capable.” Mr. Ross explained.“Uhun. Yes, I can see why he wouldn’t want to lose you. Honors in business academics when you were in college and have a bachelor’s degree in management.” Blake praised the man. “You will do. Miss. Writtle here will bring you to H. R. and have the proper paperwork done for you to sign and meet me back here. Let me be the first to welcome you to Elon Trust CEO Ross.” Blake said, smiling at the surprised look on Kevin’s face, and Susan looked startled at Blake as if she had heard the worst news in her life.“Mr. Elon, I….”“No use thanking me. You are the perfect candidate to replace me while I am gone, and I am confident you will bring great things into the
“Miss. Writtle. We meet again.” Daren said, reaching out to her hand, kissing it, and giving Blake a sour look.“What’s with this look? Did I wrong you?” Blake asked, taking a sip from his coffee.“Wrong me? Do you get this ass hole? First, he gave me an extreme regiment to follow, and for the first time in my life, I was in so much pain that I didn’t know what to do with myself. Then on top of all that, haven’t even called to see how I am doing all these days.” Daren said, looking at Susan, explaining his hostility towards Blake.“Well, you look better than you did when we first met. Here I have something for you. Get these herbs and soak with them in a hot bath. Follow the prescription to a tee, don’t scrimp on the herbs, and don’t place more than needed. This is a potent body-building soak.” Blake explained to Daren, placing the note into his hand. “I mean it, and this will temper your body; it’s very potent,” Blake warned.Daren looked at the list of ingredients and frowned.
