"What are you doing here?" I asked Hendrick when I was under the big umbrella he brought.

"I came for a meeting," Hendrick said. "I was commissioned to help with the tactical plan." He continued.

"Where have you been? I was worried that it's almost midnight and you hadn't come back yet." I could hear his anxious tone.

"I had dinner with Roman and Lucy," I said lightheartedly.

"Did you forgive them already?" Though I couldn't see his face, I knew he was smiling.

"I don't want to hold a grudge," I replied.

"You're really a kind woman, Tara," Hendrick's voice dripped with adoration.

I just hope that he could find someone to be the object of his affection.

He walked me to my quarter.

As we stood in front of my quarter. I looked up to him. Certainly, Hendrick is handsome, There's no doubt about that.

Nevertheless, he can't make my heart race

    Tara's POV Early in the morning, I was woken up by a phone call. The moment I saw Andrei's name on my phone screen, all my sleepiness vanished in an instant and my body was charged with energy. "Babe," I heard his Cielo-like voice and imagined his handsome face. "I miss you." "I miss you too, babe," I replied, closing my eyes as I imagined being surrounded by his arms. "Kavanaugh is there?" I caught a hint of jealousy in his tone. His jealousy tore me away from my imagination. "Yes," I have no intention of lying to him. He's already jealous, if I denied it and he came to know that I lied he would get more jealous. I hope Andrei will be able to shake off that insecurity. "Come and visit me. I miss you so much, baby." Andrei chuckled. "I can't, I have so many things to do." Silence stretched between us after his reply. "Okay," my voice was a little choked up as I tried not to cry. "I'm hanging up now, I have to get ready for work." I went to the hospital. I chec

    "So, you have forgiven them after what they did to you?" Andrei asked me after I told him that we were dining with Lucy and Roman. "Do you find any problem with it?" I asked him as I buttoned his shirt."Seeing you happy, how could I find a heart to stop you." Andrei rested his hands on my hips. "Besides, if they didn't betray you. I wouldn't have the chance to marry you. So, I'm kinda thankful to them," Andrei chuckled. "Exactly," I burst into laughter. After we had a good laugh, Andrei claimed my lips for a kiss. "Babe, have you thought about what I told you? Their business is struggling, can you help them?" Andrei brushed my lips with his thumb. "For you sake, I will help them." I was overjoyed and hugged him. "Thank you, babe. You're really the best." Andrei and I were crossing the corridor with our fingers interlocked. Just as we r

    George showed Andrei his adorable toothy grin and I heard Andrei lightly chuckled. To my surprise, Andrei crouched down so he could be at the same level as George. “What’s your name, little man?” Andrei asked as he gently ruffled George’s soft blond hair. Seeing Andrei like this made my desire to get pregnant doubled. And it fueled my determination to work harder and smarter to train the lead surgeon and I can go back home as soon as possible. “Geowge,” George replied. Andrei picked him in his arms. I know he found George’s cuteness irresistible. Astonishment flashed in Roman and Lucy’s eyes when Andrei carried George in his arms. “Babe, this is Roman, Lucy’s husband. Roman, this is Andrei, my husband,” I said. I closely watched if Andrei would be somehow uneasy meeting my ex - fiance but there was not even a hint of discomfort. There was no awkwardness in the atmosphere as I introduced them. I could feel that Andrei wasn’t jealous of Roman. “Nice to meet you, Roman

    Our eyes met for a few seconds before Hendrick turned and walked away. It was a saddening thing that a friend who stood by my side when I was struggling is now avoiding me. But I couldn’t let him come in between me and Andrei. I’m sure, if Hendrick was in my situation, he wouldn’t let me come between him and the woman he loves. If we love a person we never intentionally hurt them. We might hurt them but not intentionally. I spent my day teaching and training the surgeon. I have no problem teaching him as he was a quick witted man. “Dr. Norman, you exceeded my expectations. I thought I would still need to train for a m

    It was the sound of someone clearing their throat that pulled us away from the world we were wrapped in.Tara looked around and almost immediately her cheeks burned with color. I enjoyed watching her red tainted cheeks.Her gaze turned to me. She hadn’t uttered a single word but her eyes were telling me, ‘Why didn’t you tell that there are people around?’Reaching out, I brushed the loose strands of hair away from her face. “I'm glad you are back.”Tara pulled her arms away from me and put some distance from me because there were people in my office. I doubt she would be pulling away from me if we are the only ones in the room.

    Andrei took me to an upscale restaurant to dine before going home. Because of our busy schedule for the past months Andrei and I rarely had a date. Expectation filled my heart about my two year hiatus. We will have a great time together. Especially at the arrival of our baby. I was having a feeling that I will get pregnant this time. I can’t wait to see his response when seeing the pregnancy test result with the word - POSITIVE. “We will have a full body check up tomorrow,” Andrei said while cutting the steak for me. “Okay,” I agreed to him. We really have to do that to ensure that both of us are healthy for the baby. “I’m looking forward to hugging our own child,” Andrei smiled at me and placed back the plate before me when he finished cutting the steak. “Eat!” he said. Following dinner, we drove back home. Jefferson was waiting for us at the door when we arrived. “Welcome back, madam,” Jefferson said, smiling. “Good to see you again, Jefferson,” I said to him as he colle

    When I was certain that I could drive without causing an accident, I left the cafe. With a preoccupied mind I stepped into the mansion and I trudged up the stairs. And I didn't notice Andrei sitting on the couch in the living room until I heard his voice. “Babe?” My feet didn’t move after hearing his voice and I looked down. Andrei was looking up while sitting on the couch. “When did you arrive?” I blurted out. “Been waiting for you for half an hour. Jefferson told me, you went out. Where have you been?” Worry laced my husband’s voice. “Mm, I met a colleague,” I replied but my eyes weren’t looking at him but on the floor. I hope he didn’t see that I wasn’t telling him the truth. How would he react if he came to know the truth that it’s because of my father that he was being used to indirectly hurt me. I’ll just forget everything and move on with our lives. Those things I learned were from the past and I should not let the past hinder me from living my life to the

    My heart beat became erratic. ‘What was wrong?’ “Thanks Jefferson,” I told Jefferson after gathering my scattered thoughts. I went back to our room and thought for a while. This happened to us when he felt that I was just using him to get pregnant and I didn’t love him anymore. “Is it happening again?” “But, I told him that we aren’t going that path again, tracking my ovulation period and only doing the deed when I’m fertile.”“Perhaps he was discouraged that I wasn’t pregnant?”“But we were just happy the night before.”I talked to myself. Deciding to talk to him rather than drawing conclusions without clearing things with him, I picked up my phone and sat on the edge of the bed. I dialed his number and the call was only answered on the fourth ring. “Hello,” I heard his weary voice. It’s just early in the morning, why did he sound so tired?“Babe, is something wrong?” I asked him anxiously. Perhaps, he was just trying to look happy when he was with me. He might be facing some

    Andrea Wilkin’s POV The garden was filled with laughter as my kids, my siblings' kids and cousins' kids were running about the garden. Today is my dad’s sixtieth birthday. My siblings and I organized this surprise birthday party for him. “Are they coming?” My brother Austin asked while cradling his third child. “Yes, mom sent me a text an hour ago that they’re preparing,” I replied. “Kirsten is blessed to have you, Austin,” I said, smiling. Austin and Nicholas are like our dad, they are hands on dad. My phone rang as Austin was about to respond. Before I answered the call, I signaled at everyone to keep quiet and they cooperated, not wanting to ruin the surprise. “Mom?” I whispered. “Andrea, your dad is asking me where we are going and the reason we are going out. What should I tell him?” I chuckled. It’s really hard for mom because dad could see through her. It’s really hard to surprise him. “Just tell him that you wanted to have a date with him,” I suggested.

    “Congratulations!” Evan gave me a manly tap on the shoulder. Tara had just finished feeding our baby and laid her on the baby cot when he and Trixie came in. “Oh, so beautiful,” Trixie cooed. “What is her name?” Evan asked while looking at my sleeping daughter. “Andrea,” Tara answered and I looked at her in surprise. “You don’t like it?” she squinted her eyes. “I’m happy, babe,” I hugged her, smiling from ear to ear. Naming our daughter after my name was one of her ways of showing how much she loves me. This woman truly amazes me. Despite all the pain she has gone through since we got married she always finds ways to express her love for me. She loves me no matter what. ***The following day, the DNA test result was out. The result has proven that Tara was the great granddaughter of Marcus Reinsterd the Duke of Clorgow. Tara’s grandfather released a statement that Tara is his great granddaughter, the daughter of his grandson the son of his son, Lincoln. In his statement, t

    I was like a cat on a tin roof waiting for my “great grandpa” which I was going to meet for the first time. “Don’t be nervous, babe. They can’t hurt you,” Andrei reassured me as he kissed the crown of my head and stroked my large belly. “Dad and mom, will be here, shortly,” as soon as he said that we heard hurried steps coming from the entrance of the mansion. Suzanna smiled at me reassuringly as she walked towards us. “All will be fine, darling,” Suzanna said as she stroked my back. Trevor layed a box and a file on the coffee table before me.“The box was what your grandma left for your father, while the file was your father's legal documents.” I looked up at Andrei and his smile gave me the needed strength for me to look into the box. One by one, I took out the content of the box. I took out the diary and read it. March 5[I was disowned and disinherited by my family because I chose to marry Lincoln Reinsterd. But it was worthwhile because we love each other.]June 1[All of

    While I was brooding, the door burst open and I saw Courtney come in while the bodyguard was restraining her. I waved my hand, “Let her be.” “What are you doing here?” I tried not to let my annoyance seep through my voice. This woman saved me after all. “Mr. Hendrick, your surgeon is my friend and he discussed your leg injury with me.”“And?” I frowned. What does she have to do with my injury? “You didn’t look at the card I gave you?” she asked and her eyes darted at the side table. “I’m a physiotherapist,” she went on. She explained to me that I will have a greater chance to walk again if I undergo therapy. Tara’ POV“You can visit me, mom,” I told mom as she was crying when we were left alone in the room. She nodded and wiped her face with her handkerchief. “You take care of yourself, okay,” she said and kissed my forehead. “I will,” I said and we hugged for I don’t know how long. My brothers were in the living room looking solemn as they stood before the grand piano.

    Jordan was at the door. “We are all waiting for you at the dining room,” he said and gave me a mischievous grin. I forgot, it’s Saturday today. When I came to Astrana, we all gathered together at the dining table at lunch time on Saturdays. Jordan was right as everybody was seated on their chair at the dining table when we came down. “Sorry for making you wait,” I said as Andrei drew a seat for me. “It’s alright,” Trevor answered, smiling at me. The sparkle in his eyes was more brilliant at this time. Is this because he was seeing his best friend in me? Suzanna told me that my biological dad was his best friend. One by one I looked at the faces of people I love as we were having lunch. My heart was filled with gratitude that I was blessed by God to have been surrounded by people I love and love me too. ***The day before we were leaving, I was hugging Andrei from behind as he was shaving his face. “Babe, we are leaving tomorrow night and I haven’t visited Hendrick in the hosp

    I used my eyes to plead to Andrei and let me go to the hospital. Yes, I don’t see Hendrick as a lover, but he is my friend and I can’t just ignore him knowing that he is now in the hospital. “Let’s go,” Andrei said and I was relieved. I hugged him and said, “Thank you, babe.” “Get Johnny to drive for you,” mom said. Andrei embraced me as we traveled as I was tense. “Don’t get agitated. Think about our child.” “Mm,” I nodded and silently prayed that Hedrick would be fine and the surgery would go well. There was a woman who was waiting in the corridor in front of the surgery room. She might have heard our hurried steps and turned toward us. I was stunned as she was beautiful. My heart suddenly leaped with excitement. Finally, the one for Hendrick showed up. “Are you the girlfriend?” she asked when I was near her. Andrei slid his arm around my waist, silently telling her that she’s got it wrong.“I’m sorry, I thought you were because he has been calling your name. So I called

    “Mm” I pounded his chest with my fists but Andrei seemed not to feel it. “You are disgusting!” I said as my palm connected with his face after letting go of my lips. His head turned sideways because I hit his face hard. He looked at me with teary eyes. “Can’t we come back to the way we used to be?” My heart clenched seeing the pain in his eyes. “Don’t you love me anymore, Tara?” I took a profound breath. He has to know. It’s immoral to continue in this relationship. “Andrei, Kristoff Kanovski is my father and he is your uncle. We are cousins. We are in an incestuous relationship. It’s immoral.” It was hard to say it, but it is the truth and we both need to be freed from this. “Let’s go, they are waiting for us in the living room,” Andrei moved out of the bathroom and I walked behind him. “What happened to your face, son?” I heard Suzanna.“Your son misbehaved so he reaped what he sowed,” Trevor said, chuckling.There was no available seat in the living room and was already

    As if strong hands pulled me together. My strength came back all at once and I went to have a shower. “Tara, wait for me, I will come and get you and our child back,” I said. I was crying and smiling at the same time. I will not let Kavanaugh have her. If kneeling before her will gain her forgiveness and acceptance, I am more than willing to do it. I shaved my face as my beard and mustache had grown long. Tara didn’t like me growing my beard and mustache. She wanted my face smooth. I went down after getting dressed. “Are you leaving tonight for Astrana?” Dad already guessed what was on my mind. “Yes, I can’t wait to see her. We have been like this for months,” I shook my head, realizing the wasted time. “You should have asked me about it son,” dad patted my shoulder. “I was afraid you would have another heart attack that would kill you. I can’t bear seeing mom, lonely and crying,” I said with a sigh. It was the truth, I’d rather be sad than see my mom cry. “We will go with

    I pursed my lips. “Tara, I will be here for you and the child,” Hendrick said. “What about your mom and dad? You left them for me?” Hendrick shook his head. “No, they came with me.” I remember that General Rossini and Eloise were Astranians. “Do they know the reason you left the military and went here?” I asked with wide eyes.“Yes they do,” Hendrick nodded his head with a smile. ***At night, I was in bed, and my mom came into my room. “Mom?” My mom sat on the side of the bed and I slid my body in the middle of the bed to give her space to sit. She got into the bed and she leaned on the headboard. “Don’t be afraid to accept the man, he truly loves you.” I looked up at her and said, protesting, “But mom.”“Sh… listen to me. It’s very important.” mom said and had me lay my head on her chest.“When I was young I had a boyfriend who came from a powerful family.” Mom paused for a while and sighed.“But his mother told me to leave him and I agreed.
