October 24, 2024. One chapter only. I will make it worth your wait tomorrow. Thanks for understanding. Next update is tomorrow.
It was just months ago that Brian developed a severe ulcer, which resulted in his stomach bleeding. When everything came crashing down on him, he turned to alcohol for comfort, a way to forget his mistakes, but even that only gave him temporary relief. He was drowning in sorrow day by day. His company was losing clients. Many of his employees have quit their jobs. He was losing money, and he was losing himself. His most significant reality check came when he was arrested for DUI and accused of causing Adrian’s accident. During those days behind bars, he vowed to turn his life around. No matter how long it took, he knew he had to make a change.Brian began with the biggest change of all: cutting down on his alcohol. Next, he reminded himself of the people who relied on him, his remaining employees still expecting a job. Last, he vowed to stay away from relationships altogether. He was unsure how long he could keep it up, but he had reached a point where the thought of falling int
“There, it’s all clean.” With his hands on his waist, Brian said while taking deep breaths.“Thank god!” Megan exclaimed. “Prince would be upset if he ever finds out I messed up dinner.”Brian stared at Megan. Then, she made a face and said, “Shit! There is no dinner! Trina and her son are coming over for dinner!”A chuckle left Brian’s lips. He said, “Relax. I already ordered dinner. Wait, Trina is coming over? Is there something going on between them?”“I think they are just friends. Prince is thankful to Trina for saving his life and loves her son. Jake is so adorable,” Megan commented. Brian and Megan stared at each other. Then, Megan smiled and said, “Thank you for helping me.”“Megan, I don’t want you to return to Canada,” Brian said. Megan raised a brow and answered, “I’m not going back. I mean. I thought about it, but I can’t leave my brother alone here.”“What?” Brian reacted. He thought about what Riley said and what he had to go through to reach Megan’s apartment. His car
Weeks turned into months. The Kings and Eros were once again gathered for a special celebration. They all attended Raelyn’s gender reveal party. Raelyn was already almost nine months pregnant. Their initial plan was to have the party earlier, but their busy schedule got in the way. Nonetheless, they were happy to make it happen with their family and friends. The event was held at Charles’ estate. Their huge lawn was converted into a lavish venue covered in tents and decorated with pink and blue balloons. Around a hundred guests, including Prince and Megan, were invited to the gathering. And because the two were there, Brian and Trina also came along. Zia was one of those who organized the party, along with Clint. Kyle and Gaby Wright also attended, bringing all their children.“Ladies and gentlemen. It’s time for the gender reveal,” a host said. “Maybe we call on Mr. and Mrs. Eros!”“We are excited!” Riley exclaimed while holding Freya up. Riley and Adrian’s first child was now fiv
Brian and Megan had been sitting on the couch in silence for minutes, all while watching the special film on the TV. Megan gazed at Brian, and he was covering his face with his hands. It took another two seconds before he finally spoke, "Megan, you've been a bad girl. Are you trying to seduce me?"Megan shook her head and answered, "I wasn't trying. Obviously, I was. And so what? I'm your girlfriend. I get the waiting and the respecting part, but isn't it that sex is an expression of love? I want to feel it. I want the passion and the connection that comes out of it.""Oh, and don't worry. Prince is out of town," Megan assured him. While the moans on the TV resonated loudly in the living room, Brian chuckled, and Megan thought he looked incredibly sexy. Eventually, Brian closed the gap between them. He grabbed her hand and let it rest on his boner. He claimed, "You did this. And well, since you put it that way, I supposed we can take our relationship to the next level."Brian said. H
Dowel City. "Welcome, Baby!" Riley greeted the second she sat next to her mother in the hospital bed. Raelyn held their newborn baby boy while Charles stood on one side. He said, "Weighing six pounds, born right after midnight via C-section. Everyone, meet Carson Eros.""Carson?" Riley beamed. "That's the name Adrian picked out!"Riley turned to her husband proudly, and Adrian said, "I'm Glad I contributed that much. The name is sexy as hell. I can already see it: girls chasing after the richest young man in Dowel City, Carson Eros."Riley laughed her heart out. She said, "Before he becomes the sexiest man in Dowel City, he has to go through being a baby, and right now, he is the cutest little baby in town."She pinched her brother's cheek and blabbered like a baby. Then, unexpectedly, Carson let out a baby laugh!Everyone in the room gasped, shocked by what they heard. Renee, who followed behind Riley, exclaimed, "Such an advanced baby!"Anthony and Abner were also present. Abner mo
Renee was brimming with tears, overwhelmed with happiness. She looked around and saw Riley to her left with Adrian and the rest of the family. Yes, Raelyn and Charles had also come from Dowel to witness Anthony’s proposal. Linda was also present, as were the caretakers of Anthony’s mansion. Some of Adrian’s business partners also came. “Say yes, Aunt Renee.” Turning behind her, Renee saw Zia clapping her hands. The most surprising part was that their therapists and doctors were also present. “Oh, my god,” Renee said. Returning her attention to Anthony, she smiled and said, “Yes, I would love to marry you.”Anthony’s handsome face formed a smile. He removed the ring from the velvet box and placed it on Renee’s finger. Then, he stood up, embraced her tightly, and said, “Thank you. I love you so much.”“I love you too,” Renee answered before pulling away. They shared a brief yet sweet kiss before Anthony turned to everyone and said, “Say hello to my fiance, everyone!”“Congratulation
The wedding in Las Vegas was easy to accomplish. Renee and Anthony acquired their marriage licenses before booking their nuptials, and they attended not one but two express weddings. For their first wedding, they booked a drive-through ceremony. Renee was dressed in a simple white gown, while Anthony was driving a luxury sedan, clad in a suit. They went through a beautiful tunnel of love with paintings on the ceiling before having the ceremony through a drive-through window. They saved the Elvis wedding for last, and Renee found the whole experience endlessly amusing. Elvis himself walked her down the four-meter aisle, sang every song—from the wedding march to the finale—and even acted as the officiant and event organizer. Luckily, there was a separate photographer to capture the moments, but beyond that, Elvis took care of everything himself.Renee and Anthony exchanged vows the Elvis way. They each posed like Elvis, simulating the words and even a Southern accent.Elvis Officiant:
“Excuse me?” Renee asked, utterly shocked by Danica’s behavior. “I don’t mean to be rude, but when I saw you watching my husband, I just made an assumption,” Danica chuckled, slipping her arms around Harvey’s. “Harvey and I have been married for twenty-five years, and his success as Vice President of HN Supermarket has drawn unnecessary attention from women. I’m just protecting what’s mine.”“That’s not true,” Harvey objected. “Margaret, I’m sorry -”“Of course it is!” Danica reacted. “Okay.” Renee had a complicated expression on her face as she replied, “Go ahead and do that. Protect what’s yours, but don’t jump to conclusions based on a mere few seconds of encounter between me and your husband.”“Sure, okay,” Danica answered. “It just looked that way to me. After all, I remember how you were so in love with Harvey that you stalked him.”Danica laughed at the recollection, which prompted her husband to warn her, “Danica? That was a long time ago.”“Harvey is right. That was a long t
