"Wow." Riley's eyes watered, seeing her baby's progress. She turned to Adrian and asked, "Honey, are you seeing this?"Their baby's facial features were more defined. The arms and legs were fully formed, and Riley saw the baby moving its limbs."Can we already tell if it's a girl or a boy?" Adrian asked Zia. The couple were again at the King's Medical Center for Riley's prenatal. Riley was already around sixteen weeks pregnant. Zia kept moving the ultrasound probe, but eventually, she said, "I still can't see it. When the baby is eighteen to twenty weeks, it's more definite. Unless, of course, the baby is covering their sex, then it becomes a surprise for later."Riley lay in the hospital bed, thinking of her mother. With a big smile, she turned to Adrian and said, "I can't wait to tell Mom what's the gender.""God, you gotta update me, Riley! It wasn't long ago when you found your dad and now, your mom! It's just mind-blowing!" Zia reacted. "It's been hectic," Riley admitted while
“Wait, officer. You must be mistaken. My husband wouldn’t -” Riley paused. A frown formed on her face as she clarified, “Hold on. Which husband?”“Well, lady, how many husbands do you have?” The officer inquired on the other line. Rolling her eyes, Riley answered, “Are you referring to my ex-husband? Brian Martin?”“He is your ex-husband?” The police reconfirmed. “He said you are his wife and his emergency contact.”When Riley only let out a sigh of irritation, the police reported, “We needed someone to help process his bail, but I guess he can stay in jail.”“Wait.” Riley paused. She thought about what Zia had said. She might regret it, but she figured she could speak to Brian one last time. Riley said, “I don’t know about bail, but I’ll be there.”She called Adrian and informed him of her plans. Naturally, he was mad, but Riley was determined to end Brian’s madness. She hoped that by talking to him again, he would remember all the reasons to stay away from her life. ***“Riley!” B

Adrian received the news the following night. When the call came in, he was having an early dinner with his family, so he put his phone on speaker while setting aside his knife and fork. His contact in Sweden reported, “Mr. King, we have a name for you.”Except for Renee, everyone else stilled in anticipation. Anthony dropped his fork, staring at Adrian while Abner sucked in a deep breath. “Who?” Adrian asked firmly. “The name is Brian Martin, Sir. He said this Brian guy reached out to him from Halliport to tamper with your ski trail,” the person on the other end explained. “Elias was paid a hefty sum to carry it out.”“Brian? No,” Riley reacted. “That’s crazy.” She turned to Adrian and suggested, “Adrian, you can’t honestly believe this.”When Riley objected, Adrian couldn’t help but feel a pang in his chest. While he understood it was shocking, it upset Adrian how Riley sided with Brian. After all, it was just yesterday that she went to see her ex-husband at the police station.
"You can check on all our transactions. You can ask my managers. I'm not fucking lying," Brian muttered. He gulped. His hands trembled as he scattered the documents on the table's surface.When mid-morning came, Brian's managers had gathered all their documents related to the order, which led to an overpayment. Adrian was yet again back at the police station, in the same room as last night. His lawyers, Clint, and the case investigators had to review the documents individually. "I swear, Adrian, I do not know this Elias," Brian said. Adrian stared at the invoice for a customer named Norman Foster. This was the supposed customer who had purchased a half-million-dollar piece of jewelry and overpaid the same amount. Brian explained, "He said that his mobile banking disconnected the first time he transferred, so he moved money twice by mistake.""The client said that Mr. Elias Lindberg is his relative, and he requested that the refund be transferred to that account in Sweden. Everythi
“No, no. No, Mr. King. Not the feet. Please, anything but that! No!” Elias screamed before an endless and forced laugh escaped his lips. For half a day now, Abner had been tickling Elias mercilessly with an eagle feather in his hand. Adrian shook his head as he watched his grandfather. Abner only raised a brow at him, saying, “What? Didn’t you know that Elias is easily tickled?”This time, instead of the feather, Abner used a quill and traced a circular motion on the soles of Elias’s feet.“No!” Elias screamed again. “I’m going to pee! I’m going to pee!”“Just tell us what we need to know, Elias. We already know it’s not Brian Martin, so why don’t you save yourself the trouble,” Abner leaned in closer, brushing the feather’s tip lightly against Elias’ ears, relentlessly teasing him. “I can keep this up all day without breaking a sweat.”“No! Please, enough! I can’t! I can’t take it anymore! I’ve already peed in my boxers three times!” Elias begged. “Not our problem, but if you tell u
“Surprise! A crawfish lunch!” Charles exclaimed while uncovering the food on their table. Raelyn laughed hysterically and said, “Even if you covered the food, I could tell it’s crawfish. I mean, who can’t smell crawfish from a yard away?”Charles laughed with her too. The laugh lines that appeared on his handsome face made her heart flutter. Raelyn could not help but admire the man before her. More than Charles’ good looks, she had the best experience with him so far. While in Hawaii, Charles took Raelyn on many boat trips and seafood adventures. Charles had encouraged her to participate in many watersports activities, from motorized to non-motorized. She felt like she was young again, enjoying life at the beach. While there, fragments of her memory resurfaced, including moments of her and Charles as a couple. Although these memories weren’t complete, they were enough for Raelyn to feel confident that she could trust Charles with her life and heart.The only problem was that Charles
Raelyn entered Charles' bedroom first. She heard the door close behind them. She was about to turn when Charles embraced her from behind. "I missed you. I missed this so much," Charles said under his breath.Before Raelyn could respond, she noticed him gather all her hair to one side, his hot breath tickling her neck. "Mmmm. Charles," Raelyn panted. She quickly felt goosebumps all over the second his lips touched her skin. "You used to love this," he said. Raelyn's chest heaved dramatically as she was feeling all sorts of pleasure from Charles' teasing. After taking deep breaths, she asked, "Did I?""Don't you like it now?" He asked back. Oh, she was undoubtedly enjoying that moment, especially when Charles gently sucked on her neck while his other arm pulled her closer to him. "Oh, god," Raelyn gasped. The butterflies in her stomach went wild as Charles began to kiss the slope between her neck and shoulders. The next thing she knew, his hand was nearly cupping her breast, and sh
