2024-10-29 19:42:56Andrei's POV
Part of my plan in visiting the western border military base for inspection was to go hunting. The forest in this western border was renowned as the best hunting place in the nation.I love hunting. So I never let the opportunity pass by. Though I have my own personal bodyguards with me, General Rossini insisted on sending twenty soldiers to protect me. Excitement rushed through my veins as I smelled the forest air. Ever since I became president, I had not had a chance to go hunting. And it's been years since the last time I went hunting. After an hour being in the forest, I finally spotted a wild boar. Hunting really needs patience. I aimed my gun at the wild boar and shot. Knowing that there was no decline in my shooting skill, I got elated. Because of my excitement I did not wait for my bodyguards or the soldiers to clear the place for me. I slung my gun on my shoulder and hurriedly made my way to the wild boar. I crouched down to inspect how big the wild boar was. And all of a sudden, I heard a growl coming from my back. "Mr. President!" I heard voices calling me.In an instant, I took my gun. However, I was late as the bear had already swatted his foreleg, injuring my abdomen. I fell on the ground with my hand on my wounded torso. Before the bear could attack me further, I heard a gunshot and the bear fell down sideways. I heard one of the military personnel phoned General Rossini while the other soldiers came to help me. I heard him say, "Yes sir." I was carried to the car and the military personnel who called General Rossini drove the car. The other cars were tailing us. I frowned when he turned left after driving about two miles instead of going straight. "Where are you taking me?" "Sir, we have a military surgeon residing here, we will be there in a short while." We waited for a minute in front of a big country house before a girl came out.My body froze as I saw the girl with purple eyes. Her voice echoed in my head and heard words ringing in my ears. "He's a beast." She was the only person who scolded me mercilessly aside from mother. My mom scolded me whenever I did things deserving scolding when I was a kid. Now that I am an adult, no one dared to scold me. Only she dared to scold me. She knocked on the car window as soon as she was near the car. Her other hand was on her back. I know she was alert and had a gun tucked at her back. I wound down the car window and clearly saw her beautiful face and she whispered, "Mr. President?" My coldness vanished instantly at her voice, I heard the care in her voice. She ran back to the house like a thunderbolt. And soon the garage opened. As I was being helped getting out of the car, she ran to help. I felt her warm palm hold my arm and she flung it around her shoulders. I could smell the fragrance of her shampoo. I breathed in deeply, savoring her fragrance so that I could not smell the stench of my own blood. She held my waist and felt her warmth but pretty soon, pain shot through my body as she pressed my injury. I wanted to scold her but she spoke before me, thereby swallowing my anger. "Bear with it Mr. President, I have to stop the bleeding," she said.My anger didn't linger that long as she began to amuse me when she scolded her fellow soldier for not protecting me well. The worry and concern she had for me touched my heart. I am a cold person. I became like this because of that person. She made my heart stone cold. Unable to feel anything but anger. But this girl warmed my heart. It is because I know she doesn't have ulterior motives in showing her concern. She cared for the woman on my bed. Reprimanding me fearlessly because she felt I was being inhumane. She didn't care what would happen to her. She fearlessly cared. I understand her heart. She has a soft heart. I hope she won't meet someone that would turn her tender heart into a stone heart like mine.I wished someone would protect and take care of her heart.As I lay down on the surgical table, I heard her instruct her comrade to bring blood for me because I might be needing it. I admired her presence of mind. I wondered how long she had been a surgeon. From her looks, she was just in her early twenties. Twenty one? Perhaps twenty two? I didn't know how long she tended to my injury. Several hours passed when I woke up in an unfamiliar room. Scanning my surroundings, I deduced I am inside a woman's room as the interior was feminine. I guessed it was that beautiful purple eyed girl's room. "Mr. President, you're awake," I heard the voice of one of my trusted generals. And turned towards the owner of the voice. Behind him was a beauty.Beauty that could launch a thousand ships.

Tara's POV"Captain Smith, thank you for saving our president's life," General Rossini's low and authoritative voice boomed inside my living room while I saluted the good general. "It's my duty and honor to do so, General," I responded with absolute respect to the man in front of me. Indeed, I respect this man like a father. He exemplified good leadership and was really loyal to our president and our nation. "May I speak to you in private?" His tone changed from a superior to a loving father. "You may, General," I said and gestured to him, "This way general." We walked into my study. I had him come in first before I followed behind him and gently closed the door. He sat on the couch and looked up. "It's no secret to you that our president has many enemies and this matter should not be divulged." I know the president's condition should be concealed or else his enemies will use this to bring trouble to him. And it wouldn't be beneficial to our nation. "I have talked with other t

"I'm thirsty," at last I heard his voice.His voice was hoarse but still pleasing to the ears. Right away, I strode up and went to get water for him. Closing the door behind me, I heard General Rossini booming laughter. I frowned hearing him laugh. How could he laugh when the President was lying on the bed because of his injury?As I came back, a solemn atmosphere enveloped the room. Cautiously, I walked towards the bed and placed the tray on the nightstand. I poured water in the glass before helping the president to sit up. I couldn't see the president's reaction but I could feel his warm breath on my neck as I helped him sit and propped his back with pillows. I reached out for the glass of water and handed it to the president. He didn't lift his hand to take it from me and just stared at me. I smiled faintly, knowing what he meant and lifted the cup to his mouth. I couldn't complain to him. After all, he's our beloved president and he's my patient. My heart jumped when I
Forever Mine: The President's Secret Little Wife Chapter 6 - She Isn't Like Other Women
Andrei's POVThe night I first saw her, she was feisty. She behaved like a feral cat. Her purple eyes were fiery as she faced me head on. Today, it's different. She smiled at me with her cheeks a bit flushed. I know what was running in her mind. She was embarrassed that she had scolded me that night. I looked at her blankly without giving away what I felt inside. She neared the bed and sat at the edge of the bed. I could see her concern while she checked if I had a fever. Relief was written on her face when the thermometer indicated that my temperature was normal. My heart galloped when she held my wrist. I held my breath but my pulse went wild. She frowned and asked me, stuttering, "M.. Mr. President, a - re you not feeling well?" I stared at her expressionlessly. She then took her stethoscope when I did not say a word. I watched her bewildered face. After hearing my thundering heart beat, she took a look at me. I wanted to laugh at how puzzled she was but kept my fa
Forever Mine: The President's Secret Little Wife Chapter 7 - Smart Move
After receiving an order from General Rossini, she excused herself. General Rossini and I have discussed how to keep this matter sealed and away from the public I don't want my people to be thrown into confusion upon knowing about this accident. Two hours later, we heard knocks on the door. The door was opened by the guard and he was followed by the purple eyed beauty pushing a food trolley. Knowing that she's academically excellent, I wondered what her food tasted. "I should be going, Mr. President and enjoy your dinner," he saluted to me. Before he turned to leave he winked at me. This was General Rossini's first time to act like this, as if he was matchmaking. No, I can't taint her. She's too innocent for me. She deserved better. "Mr. President?" She called softly, drawing my attention. I looked at her. Her crystal clear eyes were sparkling as they looked at me with anticipation. "Feed me," I intended to speak in a cold manner but I was surprised that my voice sounded wa

Freshly showered, I came out of the bathroom and sat on the couch. "You can rest now, Captain Smith," he told me with a cool voice. "Mr. President, my room is not equipped like the hospital. There's no button that you could press whenever you need something," I answered him which made him look at me with surprise. "The guards are just outside and standing guard at the door and I can easily call them if I need something," he replied, implying that there's no need for me to stay. I shook my head to deny him. "I'm sorry, Mr. President for not obeying this time. I have to make sure you don't run a fever tonight." Frowning, he said, "Are you sure, it's just okay with you?" "Don't worry, Mr. President. I'm used to it," I answered with a light chuckle. He probably forgot that I was a doctor. He was about to lie down and I heard him whimper. I rushed toward the bed. "Careful, Mr. President."I helped him lay down on the bed. The grimace of pain on his face was still there after he l

The feeling of having your wound poke by others isn't enjoyable. Hiding the hurt in my eyes, I didn't look up to him and continued cleaning his body. Suddenly, I felt his fingers slide under my chin, tilting my head up. Helplessly, I looked at him. His cold gray eyes were not as cold as they used to be. Lost for words, my mouth opened and closed like a fish, unable to speak. "Did you hear me?" He asked after a moment of silence. Out of nowhere he asked me about this. And wasn't prepared to be asked such a question. Particularly, from him. Never did it cross my mind that he would ask me something like this. We were not close to begin with, how could he ask something personal? "Answer me," he said in a coaxing tone which disabled my reluctance. I nodded but bowed my head, trying to evade but he held my chin firmly, not letting me avoid his gaze. He held my gaze with his and my breath caught up in my throat. "I want your word not your nod," he said with a magnetic voice.

I remember my uncle's shock at that time which he quickly covered with a grin and said, "Of course, I will do as my favorite niece asked me." "No, that's not true," Roman denied it But I knew he was eyeing the position of the CFO as he said it when I came to pick him up at the bar because he could not drive.

Gray piercing eyes captivated me. As if he had taken me into a different world where we were the only people who existed. He lifted his hands and used the pad of his thumb to brush my lower lip. "You are so beautiful," he said with a hoarse voice. He slid his hand on my neck and slid up to the back of my head. "Mr. President, General Rossini is here," a voice came from the outside. That voice seemed to destroy the world we were in and brought us back to reality. Embarrassed, I stood up and straightened my clothes and then I propped him up with pillows on his back so he could sit comfortably. General Rossini gave me a look as if he already guessed what had occurred a while ago. I hurriedly took my leave after greeting him. My heart beat only came back to normal after I had drank cold water. Did he want to kiss me? Impossible. He wouldn't take interest in me. I don't know if I was right. Or I was just over thinking. I'm not his type. The woman I saw in his room that night w

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.
