Rosaline was still in a trance.She had a wet dream, and William was coaxing her back to sleep.She assumed she must have reacted weirdly as the dream was rather vivid.But she orgasmed in real life. William had buried himself inside her, and she felt him cum inside her.She tried to process what was going on when he kissed her. She was confused again as they never kissed without brushing, but then she felt suffocated, and William told her to breathe.She started to breathe, he called her good girl making butterflies flutter in her stomach, and he kissed her hard as she tried breathing through her nose.Finally, when she couldn't take it anymore, he stopped.She was still organizing her thoughts when he asked her how the reward was.What reward?Did she win any reward recently?She closed her eyes and kept breathing until she calmed down.She got a glass of water from the nightstand and drank a full glass.But she was still lost in thought.William, who was usually very helpful, was
Rosaline and Tessa went through the plans for their retirement home.They co-owned the space but couldn’t guarantee their offspring would also get along.They designed it in a way - two families could still have a vacation together without getting on each other’s nerves.William had recommended that rather than build two houses, they could build one with a gallery separating the two sections. It would save them space and money.Since both sides would have the same design, same view, and same distance from the main gate, they could pick either side.They finalized the entire thing - gate, security, house design, interior, the exact coordinates for the building, and many more.The only snag was Rosaline had finally cleared all her EMIs and debts.Though she was now a wealthy woman with her personal Villa, shares of AR Group, some shares of other companies, a non-profit CARE under her wing, a high-paying job, freelancing jobs - she was still broke.She had just begun saving money, and Te
Rosaline immediately took a detour and went to Tessa’s place instead of William’s.Albert was also there, so she talked about the retirement home.“I want to spend my pregnancy and postnatal time in our vacation home. Just imagine raising a child in that environment.” Rosaline gushed.Albert wanted to retort, citing the lack of medical facilities close by, but Tessa cut him off before he could get a word in.“That’s a great idea. Let’s do that.”The two girls chatted on and on about their children.He made a mental note to remind his elder brother about their relationship and future.They had to sort out their marriage issues as soon as possible. Otherwise, the sis-in-law was likely to get pregnant before registering their marriage.Nothing wrong with that between themselves, but it was better to get the legal validation first.Albert left when he noticed she was not going anywhere.He drove to William’s place, who mocked him, saying he had been cock-blocked by Tessa too many times to
Rosaline and Tessa were on pins and needles throughout the next three days. William and Albert were frustrated seeing their respective partners out of it.They seemed to have lost interest in everything - work, their retirement home, El’s twins, food.They were nervous wrecks.They simply gave up after their failed attempts to pretend to be okay.William tried everything to snap her out of whatever trance she was in, but much to his annoyance, Rosaline was absentminded even during sex.Even so, he did not give up and continued to stay by her side and tried to cheer her up.Unexpectedly, on the third day, she cried her heart out on his shoulders but would not tell what was wrong.She wrapped herself around him like an octopus and held him close. They slept just like that.The next day, she woke up before him and went running with him.She rested for a bit when she was exhausted and started running again.She only came back when she was too hungry to continue.After breakfast, she sat
Rosaline and Tessa looked at the test results and sighed.They had been anxious because they did not know if they wanted their assumption to be correct or wrong.Part of them wanted Aunty Aria to be William’s birth mother, but another part did not want her to be the person who had suffered so much.But with concrete results on their hands, they only felt happiness and relief.Rosaline immediately called William.William and Albert had a meeting in the morning. But that did not matter anymore, not at that moment.“William, come to Tessa’s place right now. Bring Albert as well. Clear both of your schedules for the day.”“Wh…”Rosaline did not give him time to speak. She wasn’t sure she would blurt it out on the phone.She wanted to do it properly, giving him the time and space he needed.She laughed, remembering how her aloof man had referred to Albert as his brother from another mother.It turned out to be not ‘another’ at all.Tessa suddenly laughed through tears.Rosaline asked, “Wha
Albert froze.William closed his eyes and hugged Rosaline tight, his body trembling with emotions.Tessa hugged Albert and patted his back for some time before he found his voice.“How can that be? Why would you even run the tests?”“I know it’s a lot to take in, and I can see now that we probably should not have done the info dump on you like that. But it will be okay. I am here.” Tessa held him and tried to comfort him.Albert hugged her back and took deep breaths to calm himself.He looked at William. Judging by his reaction, there was something he did not know.It took a long time for both the brothers to calm down.Rosaline looked at William. She asked, in a quiet voice, “Do you want to tell him yourself, or should I?”William only held her tighter and hid his face on her chest.“Al. I think you should hear it from your mother directly. It’s not my story to tell. So, let me tell you what I told Tess.”Rosaline took a deep breath as she continued. “William is Danial Scott’s son,
William stood at the door for a long time, unable to sort his emotions and get inside.Albert and Tessa had already gone in and called his parents.Rosaline held his hands and leaned against him, letting him know she was there for him.William took a deep breath and went inside to find everyone seated in the living room.Aunty Aria and Uncle John were looking at everyone curiously.William sat down with Rosaline almost sitting in his lap, much to her embarrassment. “You kids are being too dramatic these days. What’s with the weird expression on everyone’s faces?” Aria joked.“Aunty, Al must have told you I had gotten swapped at birth. Right?” William asked.His grip on Rosaline tightened as he tried to be calm.“Yes. Loosen your grip, Will. You are hurting her.” Aria frowned.“I am sorry.” William loosened his grip immediately.“It does not hurt. Focus.” Rosaline consoled him.“My mother’s name is Isabella Grant.”As soon as William uttered her maiden name, Aria’s whole body trembled
Aria calmed down after a long time.William fed her some warm water and juice to maintain her blood sugar.They called everyone in, and she slowly told them her side of the story._My father’s family was traditional and valued boys over girls.My grandfather kicked our family away when I was five years old. My mother had health issues and could not have another child.In those years, when we were away, my father worked hard to support us, but his parents and uncles would come now and then, threaten him, and take away all the money he had at that time.I could not go to school. I did not understand it back then, but years later, I found out that it was because a rich girl liked my father and wanted to marry him.Her family promised to give a large sum of money as a dowry to my father’s family. And a house along with maids for my father and the girl.The condition was he had to divorce my mother and cut off all ties with me as well.He refused and got kicked out.They would frequently
