...I would say whatever happened in the past, she blamed herself for it.I shifted my seat closer to where hers was, grasping her hand. "Mum. It's alright. My hubby was wrong and I would like to apologize in his stead. You did what you thought was right. What parents won't like to see their son settle down especially if he was a player." I said, trying to make her laugh.She smiled a little, sniffling back the unshead tears at the tip of her eyes. "Every parent wants to see their grandchildren before they get old. I have no idea what the past may have been but it's the past. It's already done. Find it in your heart to forget about it and live in the present, Mother. Be happy... Okay. I promise to make you smile whenever I'm around." I said, truthfully this time.She stared at me for long seconds. Her expression brightened. Why was I not surprised when she pulled me into a hug?"You're a lovely girl, angel. Your mother must be so satisfied to have a child like you. She really did a
...Sophie.I had just finished breastfeeding my baby and proceeded to make him go back to sleep. I needed my own rest. It's been one heck of a day. I thought. "Thanks for looking after my child, Daphne," I said.Daphne grinned, waving off the greeting. "Come on, it's nothing, Phie. What are friends for? We're one family now. Miguel is like a baby brother to me. He's so adorable. I've always wanted to have one but Mummy and Daddy couldn't give birth to another child after having me. You know being the last born wasn't my call. But now, it feels as if I've gotten what I've always wished for. I've always had a fondness for kids." She said.I smiled as she blew kisses at my child as he slept, peacefully. "It's quite apparent. You'd make a good mother." I said, softly.She chuckled. "I know, right?" She smiled her eyes that were on Miguel now staring at me. "Um, so when are you and brother leaving for his house?" She asked.Figures. He has his own apartment. Well, why won't he? His fam
...Miguel had woken me in the middle of the night with the unstoppable sounds of his fierce cries. Luckily I've succeeded after many trials in making him fall back to sleep but then I couldn't get any myself. Of course, Lorenzo wasn't happy about it for he too couldn't get any. Miguel had kept everyone awake.I couldn't say he didn't know what he signed up for when he offered to take us in so he should bear it. No, he should get used to it in fact for it might keep on getting worse as time went by. Miguel was only three months old, after all. We can't hold him accountable for his acts.I didn't even know when morning came in as I went into the bathroom, taking a swift shower in case my baby awakened and started to look for his mother. I stepped out when I was done and saw he'd brought most of the things he knew I'd be needing from his car, displaying them on the bed for me. He'd left the room earlier but was back now. I thought, greeting him. "Good morning, Enzo."He said nothing
...He tore at my gown, exposing the white thong I had worn ten minutes ago. He wasted no time in yanking off the panties, till there was no obstruction left. He was an asshole. What did the poor dress do to him? Did he have to rip them to shreds? They were still brand new. I lamented, inwardly.He folded the belt, raising it up. "You'll eventually learn to obey my rules," he said with such dark intensity that a lump appeared in my throat, butterflies bouncing in my stomach.All I could do was hold my breath, I knew this was going to hurt like a son of a bitch. Maybe I deserved the hard spanking. Maybe I was a nasty little girl who needed a firm hand. All didn't matter when he smacked both ass cheeks, one coming after the other. "Oh God," I spouted, my entire body shaking. My grip on the counter was white-knuckled, my heart skipping several beats. "Spread your legs for me, Sophie."Reluctantly, I did as I was told, trying to keep my position just like I knew was required. I heard
... After the food, everyone went about their ways as I helped the servants to put away the empty plates. After we were done, I climbed downstairs, one step at a time. Albeit the aching pain around my butt all the way down to my thighs were still there, I knew I had to give it time for it to fade away. I slowly tapped twice at the door and waited. When I got no response, I twisted the doorknob and stepped in.I stared at the room and could pinpoint the difference almost immediately, even with my eyes closed. Why can't I when It was obvious and even more beautiful than it was before? The bed and bedspread have been neatly arranged. The tiled floor was swept and mopped. The books are arranged accordingly and placed on the bookshelf. Miguel was still sleeping where I laid him earlier. I guess the servant really did a great job by endeavouring not to wake him. But I still have to wake him and feed him again. It was a new day, after all, I thought inwardly. I normally breastfeed him m
...I stared around the lounge room as we stepped in and it was pretty apparent it had been a while since anyone had last stopped by with how the dust and cobwebs were all over the place. It melted down the beauty of the house. I could only say that it needed a total renovation."Whoa! When was the last time you last time you visited? I mean, look at this place... It has no life in it." I remarked, removing the cobwebs with my hands and coughing as it entered my nose. This surrounding wouldn't have been a good place for a little boy. It's a good thing I left my baby under the massive care of one of the guards. The outside environment would be much better than bringing him in here with me. I thought.Lorenzo said nothing as he walked deeper inside. He had no comments when she was right. "Aren't you coming along?" He rather asked. "Of course, I will," I answered, shaking my head as I followed him, climbing the staircase with him. I scrutinized the atmosphere as we did until we reach
...Mally.Mally was in her suite-like room, her legs crossed with her favourite drink just within her reach as her nail technician groomed her fingernails. She'd wanted to use the procedure to get her mind off things but it wasn't working. She was still as frustrated as ever. How could he do this to her? How could he hurt her feelings this way? Who said he could marry another woman if not her? Who said he could use and throw her away like a trash can once he was done with her? How dare he call off their marriage without even a word of it to her? He even went ahead to embarrass her in the public by taking that bitch's side.She screamed, pulling the woman. "Ouch! That hurts, bitch! Can't you take it slow?! Or are you in to mess with me too?" She asked, sweeping everything that was on the table to the floor. The poor technician withdrew, backing away. This wasn't the first time she was called to attend to her. She was a VIP client and she had no option but to take any tantrum she t
...I was done with the house chores as I scrutinised the house thoroughly before concluding that it now had a different outlook. It was wholesome. After breastfeeding Miguel for the sixth time, today l decided to make a quick lunch as I went into the kitchen. I've already wiped and dusted the kitchen equipment till they were as good as new and it made things pretty much easier for me. I disposed of all the expired products he'd stored in the storage room and freezer, hoping I'd get my hands on at least one foodstuff that would be eatable. Luckily, I was able to find myself one spag whether it'd be enough for two was something I couldn't be sure of at the moment. I rolled up the window cotton, sliding it to the side as I turned on the radio station, allowing the peaceful yet classical music to engulf me.I was euphoric for no just cause. Perhaps I should be, considering the past week's ordeal and how I could have been slaving away my whole life in a no-good, horrible man's buildin
