EDWARD... Slowly but steadily, I am making a place in her heart. I know she has trouble thinking about her current surroundings and I promise to erase all of it for her. I started it by making a business offer to her. Though I didn't lie when I said I don't do business in kindness, nor it's an offer to impress her. I genuinely believe in her talent. In fact, I already thought of it before seeing who Rain truly is. My heart did a summer salt inside the moment she agreed to be on a date with me. I have a plan and a huge one on that note. But suddenly... Regina had to break our moment. I just Don't understand why it's always us getting interrupted in our progressing moments! I turned to Regina, kind of annoyed as she shook her head with tears in her eyes... "I-I am so sorry... Agh!" She apologised, pressing her thumb. "What happened? You cut your hand?" I couldn't help the frown as she lowered her head. Without saying anything I looked up at the housekeeper. "bring the first-aid ki
ELAINE (CATHERINE) ... The car stopped after driving for nearly ten minutes. A gentleman he is, Edward held my hand as I stepped out of the car. Looking around, I was slightly confused at our surroundings. We were standing on the beach. Are we having dinner in the open field? Not that I mind, but there was no set-up either. "Shall we?" Edward asked and I nodded, decided to trust him. We walked away but no guards followed us. A few steps later I noticed a yacht waiting for us. Okay, so the yacht date... Well, that's romantic. However, as soon as we got on the yacht it started and there was no set-up for the date either... This time I really couldn't suppress my curiosity, "Where are we going?" I asked, rubbing my arms under the cold autumn breeze. "You'll know soon." Edward removed his trench coat and put it on me, then engulfed me tightly in his arms, warming my heart in the process. A few minutes later, an image of a gazebo floated in the middle of the sea. Soon, the sight cle
EDWARD... Finally, I got married to my wife again. Though my original plan was to ask her to be my girlfriend, I couldn't resist my emotion and instead asked for marriage... She agreed, giving me another chance to make my wrongs right. However, what I didn't expect was facing my parents just the moment we returned home. Well, I wasn't surprised either knowing Regina too well. By the look on her face, it must be her. "Mom, Dad, you're here..." I greeted them. The look in their eyes was sceptical and disbelief. Especially, my mother who never liked my wife in the past and honestly I don't expect her to like Catherine this time too. Her eyes were glued to our enjoined hands. "Wh-at is this?" Her tone trembled. "Sh-she..." "She is my wife, Elaine," I announced. I turned to my wife and kissed her forehead, "will you go inside to Della?" I don't want her to face the drama my mother is going to start, nor do I want any risk of her memories getting hit before I have a permanent place i
ELAINE (CATHERINE) ... Leaning on my chest, Della listened to the story I was reading for her. Absolutely a pleasing time passing with her, though a part of my mind was left in the living room to my... Husband. Well, the term 'husband' was exceptionally new for me, yet somewhat familiar... "Mommy..." The sudden call paused my reading and thoughts as I felt Adelaide's eyes on me. The way she called mommy thrilled my beating heart. I did not expect that. She lowered her eyes "Can I call you mommy?" Her voice was full of shyness and hesitance. "Yo-u want to call me mommy?" I asked, breathlessly. She nodded before hiding her face in my chest, slowly saying, "Can I?" I don't understand the sudden emotions that grew in me as my heart trembled pleasantly. Never realised that this simple word 'mommy' could oscillate my heart this way. I hugged her tightly, "of course, you can... I would love to be your mommy." "Thank you." She gently mumbled before closing her tired eyes, as if she w
ELAINE (CATHERINE) ... Seeing Alberto wasn't a problem but his demand did invite a storm in Edward's heart for sure when I informed him I was not returning to his place tonight. I could feel his cold frown and gloomy face over the phone... "You promised to Della." He said. Sigh... "I have told you before, didn't I?" I made a failed attempt to understand him. "Let me talk to Della." "Hmm..." That's all he answered and passed the phone to Della. Well, it was easier convincing her than her father. And finally, Edward had to step back. After a few more chats, I hung up without telling him about the car incident today. I don't want to ruin his mood more. Maybe, later. Freshened up, I prepared to go to bed when the door was knocked. "Get in." Marco peeked inside with a smile and a bottle of the oldest wines. "Have a drink?" I liked that he was trying to be normal around me again and I accepted. Honestly, I do need a drink. It's been a long break in my regular drinking habit. Sitting
**Free Chapter!** MARCO... I slowly closed the door and leaned against it. She didn't even realise my presence now as I stood there the whole time she was busy in her conversation with Edward Reinford... She found her solace in his arms and didn't need a drink anymore. I slowly dragged myself back into my room. Some would say, I should fight my way in her life but how could I when I was never in the picture? Four years wasn't a short time, and I successfully failed to erase her emotions that were drowned in her subconscious mind and never defaced even after staying away from him. Now, he is back in her life again... Yes, I do know who is he since the beginning.She didn't know but in her sleep, she had muttered his name a lot. Edward... She begged him to not leave her almost every night. She confessed her pregnancy to him every night and I heard all of it. She thought I only appeared after she woke up from nightmares. But, she never realised I had a little speaker planted in her b
EDWARD... Slowly, I hung up. She is asleep now and hopefully won't wake up again. Turning on the speaker I kept the device on the bedside table before getting off the bed and stood on the porch. It's quite obvious she had nightmares in her sleep and sometimes, she doesn't even know what her subconscious state was going through in the sleep... I realised it the first night she slept here. In the middle of the night, she was searching for me, asking me to not leave her. Saying she is pregnant. I realised it was Catherine inside her who was lost in some darkness. It happened last night too and so I gave her that necklace with a microphone and tracker attached to it. I wanted to stay beside her in her every second of life. Good or bad, it's my need to stay closer. Through the tracker, I also find out about the car incident in the morning. She did not share it with me. She did not want to worry me. And she shouldn't know that I know everything. She only needs to smile and stay happy, I
ELAINE (CATHERINE) ... "You are quite busy these days and don't have time for your old man, huh?" Alberto complained as I accompanied him out for a walk. I smiled at his childish tantrums, "Unlike you, this young lady is quite busy these days." I narrowed my eyes at him and he chuckled... Slowly, patting my hand, "Don't overdo yourself, or you'll turn older before me." "Eh, in your dreams." I beat him in words and he laughed again. I couldn't help my grin seeing him happy. As we were strolling in the garden, my phone vibrated in my pocket. The caller brought another smile to my face. Mouthing 'take care' at the nurse, I excused myself aside and received the call... "Yes, baby?" "Mommy..." Della's little tone and the way she called mommy fluttered my heart. "I miss you." And her next words made me guilty for hurting her little wish. "I miss you too, sweetheart." "When you will be here?" She asked again, making my heart break. She would ask this each time she calls and I only ha
EDWARD ... "Uhmm-mmhm." Moaning, she arched her back to me, trying to be touched by me more. But, I was not giving her what she wanted. When it comes to playing like this, I love doing this to her. She looks so beautiful and erotic in her every action. Kissing, sucking, and marking every inch of her neck and collarbone, I finally went down to her amazing handful of breasts. I held one in hand and took one in my mouth. Catherine's eyes closed shut in pleasure. I licked the brown bud and then took it in my mouth, sucking it as if it would milk out. While grabbing the other one tightly, I left my handprint there. With a pop, I let go of the nipple and then took the other one in my mouth. Giving the same attention to both of them I finally let go. Looking down at them I drooled. Her round tits were glistening with my saliva and covered with my mark. Still looking at them I suddenly landed a slap on her pussy. This was another thing I loved doing to her. She turned so erotically vulner
CATHERINE ... The entire month passed by after the weekend and my husband even arranged a honeymoon after we returned. It was an amazing moment in my life. He took me to Maldives Though I couldn't do any sightseeing because as per my husband, 'Who goes out on honeymoon?' So, yeah... Practically we were mostly tangled with each other the entire week. Surely, I would have been impregnated if he didn't choose to vasectomy. I am glad he did it. Call me selfish, but giving birth is painful as fuck. It comes with a cost and I wouldn't like that feeling again. Anyway, back to the present... Currently, I am in the library, reading a book. Both our children were asleep and my husband was in the study. I was waiting for him. I yawned and again concentrated on the book. Or, at least, tried. My eyelids were heavy and sleep almost consumed me. However, suddenly I jerked out from the drowsiness. Confused, I looked around to find out the reason. It felt like I woke up to a loud shriek. "What t
CATHERINE ... I always wondered how life really works. Standing there, I saw the newly wedded happy couple or the couple that were fighting with a romantic tension going on within, which eventually took them to bed... How these pairs were made? And how they ended up together after such drama. Everything was a mystery of life. Perhaps, I would never understand. "Did you see May?" Liam came beside me and almost startled me. Yeah, by the way, I was talking about the weird couple and it was them, Liam and May. God knows how they ended up together! Most times I see them fighting and hear their complaints and in the next second, they would be found tangled with each other! On top of that, hiding whatever going on between them? Oh God, These two keep me on my toes more than my children do! It all started when May went to live with us after Jayden drama. Our dads were fond of travel and both me and Edward didn't want her to be alone, so she moved in with us in the Oakenhold mansion. Now,
Two years later ...EDWARD ... "Oh Fuck!" She purred under me when I slammed inside her slick folds. "Oh, Edward..." She screamed in ecstasy. "Yes baby, say my name. Let the whole of Italy know who you belong to." Growling, I kept pounding inside her as our sweaty bodies slapped against each other. "Fuck! Wife, how are you so tight still? Fuck, yes! I love this naughty pussy of yours! Squeezing your husband's cock harder, huh?!" She turned wetter. My words working on her like magic. With her tied hands, she was so vulnerable under my control. It was making her so needy and confident at the same time, while she desperately wanted to touch me. And I was obsessed with her. She looked so fucking beautiful under my mercy. I hold her legs and spin her on her stomach, Bending her on four and again slamming inside her, wrapping my fingers on her throat. We were fucking like two addicts with no sense. It was more like a punishment to her because she turned very naughty these days! We came
CATHERINE ... I woke up with my daughter lying on my chest. My movement woke her up. With her fluttering cerulean eyes, she watched me and immediately her eyes widened in excitement. "Mommy!" She hugged me and I smiled, holding her close. "Yes, my love. Mommy is awake." "Me and Papa missed you, Mommy." She muttered, hiding her face on my chest. "I know, I missed you both too." I kissed her chubby little face. "Okay, that's enough. Mommy needs rest now." Edward picked her up from me and set her on the couch before he sat beside me. "How are you feeling?" "Hmm, good." I leaned to his touch and closed my eyes, "feeling a little tired." "I know, you need proper rest." He said. However, I didn't go back to sleep again. I need lots of things to ask, "Is he alive? Jayden I mean." Edward nodded, "Yes, he is... I won't let him die." Edward was mad at him and I don't blame him. He was right in his place. Jayden needs his punishment. Especially, how he hurt those innocent people and May
EDWARD ... I couldn't care about our surroundings but my wife only. She fell on the sofa, tightly grabbing her belly. That was exactly what I was frightened about! "CATHERINE!" I rushed beside her. She already lost her consciousness. I picked her up and ran out of the room, leaving Jayden with Addison. I placed her in the car and Yelled at my driver to drive to the hospital. Her face was pale and her brows furrowed as if she was in pain. "Hurry up!" I groaned again. Soon, the car stopped in front of the R.Ford hospital and I rushed in with her in my arms. Doctors hurriedly attended ther as I was asked to wait outside. I did not want to but her doctor wouldn't let me in. Outside the emergency room, I was almost running mad! I shouldn't have let her go! I fucking should have stopped her! Don't know how long I waited, getting restless with each passing second, Dr Helena finally came out of the room. "Dr. how is she?" She nodded and smiled assuringly, "Don't worry, she is fine no
CATHERINE ... I exhaled a nervous breath, standing in from his apartment door. Hasty footsteps were heard and next, he opened the door. Jayden McCoy. A shiver ran down my spine recalling me I was standing in front of a psychopath who could do anything he wanted. "I am here now, so let go of May. Where is she?" I did not wait for a second to demand. He leaned against the door with a smirk plastered on his face, "Have some patience, love. You just came here." He moved aside, "Come on in." I swallowed hard and followed him Inside. I was a little surprised to see his place. I half expected to see some dark theme furniture and a messy environment, but it's all normal. "Have a seat." He pointed at the sofa and I had no choice but to oblige. "At least tell me how is she? Please tell me you didn't hurt her.".He squatted in front of me and held my hands as if we were long-time lovers! I wanted to snatch my hand away but the fear of hurting May I did not. "Calm down, Catherine. As long
CATHERINE ... "Ma'am, you are very famous among general people, including Elder Reinford because of your kindness and continuous charity." Our advocate Mr Wilson said. He was one the powerful and worthy advocates who worked with Roullard, also Dad's friend. So his advice would be much more positive and sensible, unlike Advocate Shane. I nodded, "Yes, I was involved quite much with Grandpa." I agreed, recalling those days although I don't know what benefit it would bring now. "Yes, and after your death announcement, people were so mortified and sad. You might not know but they had prayed for you for a very long time." He added. "Since then your husband, Edward has always done the charity in your name. People accepted it and they had a good overview of it." "Hmm, I have heard about it." "If I am not wrong, you have started your charity once you're back again. People accepted you wholeheartedly and even prayed for your family's safety... This is low-key a big achievement over the ye
EDWARD ... "The next thing is to do a formal apology in public, accepting all blame. The apology should be heartfelt, and a promise to take care of all those who had suffered in the accident." Advocate Shane spoke as I stared at him. "Then we will release fresh news of what happened to your wife and your lost child. This way, the public will start sympathizing with you and your family while moving on from this scandalous accident on the site... What do you think, Mr Reinford?" "Well, you're practically asking me to accept what I never did intentionally and then drag my wife and child into this mess?" I asked calmly even though I wasn't calm at all. He nodded with pride. "I really don't have any idea how Grandpa hired a pathetic jerk like you." "Excuse me?" "Yeah, you heard it right. And before I smack your head into this closed wall... Leave." I clenched my fists, trying to control myself. Thus fucking proud bustard was asking me to trade my years of dignity and my precious fami
