Summer’s Point of View“Can you really manage?” Celine extended her slender hand, gripping mine as I stepped out of the car.I smiled weakly in reply, yet all I could do was silently nod in response. I swiftly snatched my hand away from hers and stepped into the house. I had just assigned one of the guards to pick my car for me at the mall.As I perched on the edge of the sofa, my mind was a maelstrom of emotions. Tears refused to fall, yet my heart felt numb, and my stomach churned with dread. I embraced Devon and Stefani tightly though they were already asleep, hoping that their comforting presence would offer me a sliver of strength that I so desperately needed.After a moment, the door creaked open, and I slowly lifted my head. My tears wanted to pour down like a waterfall as I saw the figure in the doorway. Still, I showed no emotion on my face, my body unmoving despite wanting to shrink away."You're early," I forced out, my throat tight and constricting. I stood up on trembling
Celine’s Point of viewMy heart ached for her when I saw Steven's infidelity. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and whisper that she had nothing to worry about, but the words would surely catch in my throat. After all, who could honestly relish the sight of a husband with someone else? I shuddered at the thought of Harvey in such a situation - no doubt it would push me over the edge.After so much contemplation, I picked up the phone on my side table and dialed Steven's contact number.The sight of Summer's distressed face was too much for me to bear. So, even though the sun had yet to break through the darkness of morning, I already called her husband.After just three rings, he answered the phone.“Mister Carter, I would like to talk with you. Are you available?”I could discern him audibly inhaling deeply multiple times while I anxiously bit down on my lower lip, awaiting his reply.“Of course,” he responded coldly.We met promptly as promised. We decided to meet in a grandiose h
Summer's Point of View"..." I remained silent.“To clarify, she is my aunt. She is the youngest sister of my mom.” He sighed.I had a surprised reaction to what he said, causing me to bite my lower lip. Then, my cheeks turned cherry because of embarrassment. 'Oh my God! Why did I think there is going on between them?!'“She wants to meet Stefani and Devon, but I declined her request to prevent putting any strain on you. You just gave birth and I'm afraid you are still tired and stress... I convinced her that I would inform you beforehand before taking any further steps.” He stopped and tenderly kissed the bridge of my nose. “Please put your trust on me, because no matter what happens, I won’t do the thing that has been running in your head.”I was still, unable to utter a single word in response. Yet, despite my silence, I could sense clarity begin to emerge as all the unanswered questions that had been spinning around my head were slowly being put to rest.“I'm sorry for making you
Summer's Point of ViewI was tightly pressed against the glass wall of our bathroom. My nipple became erect due to the pinching of my chest in this position.“That’s deep...Ngh.”My raucous cries bounced off the walls, echoing throughout the place. His throbbing manhood pounded against my most tender spot, pushing me closer to him with every thrust. His fingers kneaded my nipples not too hard but just enough to make me shiver in pleasure. I leaned into him for support as my legs weakened from the intensity of the sensation he gave me."Come on, let's go to bed... I want to sleep." I couldn't identify my own voice any more. It was on the edge of fading due to exhaustion."Alright, let's go to be."Adrenaline surged through me as he suddenly swept me onto the bed. Our tongues were in a fierce battle, and his hand began to wander down my body. His fingers found their way between my parted legs and then inside me, filling me with pleasure. With one free hand, he pinched my sensitive nippl
Summer’s Point of viewFive years had gone by, Devon and Stefani had, in time, grown up. Steven’s firm had blossomed, yet to remain autonomous of the wealth he worked so hard, I returned from my designer career and became a model for my own designs.We were fortunate enough to find helpers to look after Stefani and Devon, all of them generous and affable. My initial days on the job were grueling since I had never been far away from my kids nor gone more than a day without seeing Steven. I was clueless that modeling would be so demanding, especially with such a tight timeline already in place.A whole week had gone by since I heard Steven’s voice. My time had been packed, bouncing between the studio and rehearsals for this upcoming runways show. All of these late nights had kept me from the ones I care about most - my family. Now that I was back in the studio, all I wanted to do was rush home and wrap my arms around them.“Let’s go!” my makeup artist announced.As she rose to her feet,
Summer’s Point of ViewThe woman laughed out loud, as if she already knew Steven’s wife was shallow. Steven pulled me from behind him, threw his arm around my shoulders, and kissed the top of my brow. Then, he guided me to the woman.“When she found out I'm visiting you today, she insisted on coming along. So, this is Mila, my aunt.” He halted and shifted his eyes to Mila and continued, “Aunty, this is Summer, my wife.”“Why didn’t you tell me?!” I pulled the hem of his coat and whispered.“I had planned on introducing her to you back then, but she had to go back to her country because of an unresolved problem with her company. She just came back today.”The heat of shame rose in my cheeks as I felt like shrinking away from the attention. But then Mila stepped in and took my hand, her grip firm, but gentle. Her eyes were so full of compassion as she held steady eye contact with me and smiled with genuineness."I hope I'm not causing you any undue worry. The reason I so badly want to m
Summer's Point of view"Twinkle twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky.""Twinkle twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are~"I was with Devon and Steven while he was singing his song repeatedly, enjoying his time with his ducks in the shower. Devon poured himself into mastering the music for his upcoming recital at school. His enthusiasm was clearly visible through every move he made and facial expression he gave. Even I, watching him from the side, couldn’t help but be enthralled by his spirit. It had only been a few months since he began kindergarten school, yet it seemed like he had already adapted to the whole new environment."Mom, Dad, promise me you won't be late. Please, not this time! I need you there to watch me!" Devon urged, his eyes wide with hope for as he splashed in the water. He spoke with a maturity beyond his years.Of course! His parents had to be present - their absence or lateness would not be t
Summer's Point of ViewStefani and Devon didn't give me attention when we arrived home. I wanted to talk to them but they seemed not ready for it yet. In the end, I waited for Steven to arrived home.I was sitting on the living room, leg crossed, and drinking alcohol when he arrived.He saw me immediately and was about to kiss me when I pushed him with all might as I glared at him. Looking at him just made my heart ache.He beholdat me with exhausted eyes as he spoke, "I told you, I can't leave and needs to—""I have a job too, you know! You can't just leave our child out of your plans like this!" I rose from my seat with fiery indignation and pointed sharply at his chest. My voice was raised in anger, every muscle tense with frustration. But he didn't budge an inch, a stoic facade hiding deeper emotions. "You always prioritize your own work over everything else! Get your priorities straight and focus on us for once!""Why? Are you any different from me? You chose to pursue work, didn
