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.

    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,

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

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

    Summer's Point of ViewTime dragged on, and there was still no sign of Steven. I did not expect him to find us so quickly, however, given the fact that he was well-connected, it should have been a rather simple task for him. Could he possibly be doing this deliberately?"When are we going home, Mommy?" Devon inquired as his eye began to deteriorate.As he laid on my lap, I stared at him. I kissed his brow and gently lulled him to sleep. “Why? Do you want to see daddy?"He just nodded till he was completely enveloped in lethargy. On the other hand, I just leaned back and felt as if I were suffering from a headache. I was at a loss for what to do to keep him from constantly asking where his dad was. Fortunately, Stefani was old enough to understand things. She was just reading book and not complaining. However, I was not sure if the situation was burdening her.I wanted Steven to find us as soon as possible. Nevertheless, with no sign of him, it appeared that he bad no desire coming. Si

I felt every gentle brush of his lips and the sweet savor of his embrace. With one arm around my waist, he carefully lifted me up, bridal-style, and walked me up the stairs."I miss your scent. I'm losing my mind without you at my side," he muffled, his warm breath on my neck, giving me a tickle and releasing thousands of volts. “Like I can go mad every time I wake up in the morning, not seeing you by my side.”With his help, I eased myself onto the soft bed, feeling its gentle support. As I settled in, he positioned himself beside me; the mattress creaking slightly under his weight. In a daze, my gaze fixed on him, my heart pounding so loudly, I could almost hear it in my ears. His face was marked by a rugged handsomeness that couldn't be ignored. Damn this face! I want him all mine.His ardent whisper hovered near my ear. "Wife, each day I wish for you

Nevertheless, I still had unfinished tasks to complete. As I hurried to work, my phone incessantly rang. Despite the distractions, I made a conscious decision not to answer it.

It was more than a hobby for her; it was a passion, a way to express her creativity and share joy with others.

The sun hung low on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the pristine sands of the island they had just arrived on. It felt surreal to Stefani—the beauty of the place, the laughter of her children echoing in the air as Ethan and Elara chased each other down the shore.

    It was a Wednesday afternoon when Stefani sat by the window, staring out at the garden while Elara and Ethan played outside. Their laughter echoed through the yard, but Stefani couldn’t find it in herself to join in. Her mind was miles away, consumed by the growing distance between her and Jacob.Days had turned into weeks since their last conversation about his workaholic tendencies, and though Jacob had apologized and promised to do better, nothing had changed. He was still coming home late, still missing family dinners, and still buried in projects that seemed more important than their family.The door opened, and Jacob walked in, looking as exhausted as ever. His tie hung loosely around his neck, and his shirt was wrinkled from a long day at the office. He glanced at Stefani, his eyes filled with that same apologetic look she had grown used to."Hey," he greeted her, dropping his briefcase by the door. "Sorry I'm late again. The meeting ran longer than expected."Stefani sighed, h

    Stefani sat at the dinner table, her eyes tracing the empty seat across from her. The warm glow from the chandelier above felt dim compared to the brightness that used to fill their family meals. It wasn’t the first night Jacob had missed dinner, but it felt like the hundredth. His absence weighed heavily on her heart, an unspoken distance growing between them.Elara and Ethan, now five, chatted animatedly as they poked at their food, their little voices filling the silence Jacob had left behind. Stefani tried to focus on their laughter, their joy, but her mind kept drifting back to the clock on the wall, ticking louder and louder with every passing second. Each tick felt like a reminder that Jacob was missing yet another evening with his family.“Mommy, when is Daddy coming home?” Ethan’s soft voice cut through her thoughts. His big brown eyes were filled with innocent hope, the kind that still believed his father would walk through the door at any moment.Stefani’s heart clenched. S

She sighed, clutching her phone as her thumb hovered over Jacob’s contact.It had only been a few hours since she last saw him. He had left early in the morning for a meeting, and now the day was fading into night, with no sign of him returning. She knew Jacob loved her deeply, and she had no reason to doubt his loyalty.
