Stormy gray eyes stared at me in the mirror as I put on my earrings.

"Is that your going to wear in the wedding?"

The cut of the gown was according to Regina's preference. It is form - fitting gown that is backless and with a plunging neckline that almost reached my belly button. There is also a slit up to my mid - thigh.

I could hear the displeasure in his tone.

"It's the bride's preference," I reasoned, making him frown.

"I don't like it, go change," the mood in the room turned sour in an instant.

I huffed and said, "I have no spare gown or dress in here, do you expect me to go to the wedding as matron of honor wearing a pair of jeans and a shirt?"

Andrei didn't answer me and went outside the room and made a call.

He didn't come into the room until thirty minutes later he came in with two gowns in his hands.

"Change," he said and hand me the two go

    Intermittently, while the wedding ceremony was ongoing, my eyes would look at the back where my husband was seated. His eyes were fixed on me as though no one else mattered. My heart felt warm to know that he focused his attention on me. There are other beautiful and young female guests but none of them could get his attention. I felt my cheeks burned at his intense gaze at me. "Mrs. Kanovski?" I heard the officiant and jerked my head towards him. "Sir?" I looked at him puzzled.He pursed his lips and I looked at Hendrick for help. "The rings," he whispered. "Ah, okay," I took the small box of rings and handed it to the officiant. Embarrassedly, I bit my lower lips. I avoided looking at Andrei, lest I got lost in him again. It's really humiliating. I listened intently to the officiant so I could follow his instructions. I

    Tara looked at me and gave me a smile while he patted my arm gently.My uneasy heart found comfort in her action. So long as she gives me an assurance that she loves me and not Colonel Kavanaugh no matter how agitated I was, my restless heart would calm down. "How's the uprising rebellion in the east?" General Rossini asked, stirring the subject away from his son. "It's a complicated one as there are many influential people who are involved in it. But we are optimistic that our plan and strategies will deliver the desired result." "I have already released the funding for ammunition," I chimed in. Though I no longer occupy a public office, I still actively help to keep the glory of my nation. Disrupted peace is detrimental to our nation so I have to help the government achieve peace for our countrymen in the east. "However, we encountered a problem recently.

    "Babe, this is Wendy, the interior designer of our new mansion,* Andrei introduced the lady to me but I didn't give her a second look. "Our new mansion?" I couldn't grasp how rich people spend money. We already own a mansion. Why another mansion? "This location is great for our children," Andrei stroked my belly as if we were expecting. "Air here is fresher than in Willowbrook and nearer to the company and schools." This man planned everything as if I was pregnant. I was speechless. "Now, I will leave to you the interior design. Wendy will oblige to whatever design you want," Andrei gently touched my face. Andrei left us to answer the incoming call. Wendy sized me up, looking at me from head to toe and vice versa. I stared at her nonchalantly. Countless times, I have experience being looked down upon and I'm now used to it. Nothing can faze me now.

    I knew my husband, he would not allow anyone to bully me. Moments later, after sending a message to the company. The manager begged Andrei not to cancel the contract. Though Andrei would pay a penalty for breaching the contract, he doesn't care. On the company's side they will also incur losses from it. Particularly, if news comes out that Andrei broke the contract because of their employee's questionable character. Thus they promised Andrei that they will fire Wendy and have another designer to work on the project. "Babe, don't let them fire her. Tell them to give her a lighter punishment. I have no intention to ruin her career, I only want to teach her a lesson," I told Andrei. Andrei sighed. "You heard my wife, do as she said. Send your best designer. I'm not only referring to talent but a designer who possessed excellent character. I won't let my wife suffer." Every word that came from And

    "Welcome to the east military base, Dr. Kanovski!" General Malcolm said as I stepped down of the helicopter that had transported me from the capital. Finding no words to say to him, I just smiled at him. Prior to this, General Malcolm, had little interaction so I was a bit clueless how to talk with him. He took me to the medical facility in the base and showed me around before introducing me to the surgeons. Eager to start the work, I did not take a rest and started discussing with the group of surgeons. Not forgetting my assignment to train a person that would be in the group, I attentively listened to them as we discussed a lot of things. I had an initial idea who would be the perfect candidate but I still have to observe around two weeks. But for now I will train them all and then I will narrow down who I give most of my time.

    Roman and I went to their apartment, driving different cars. "Babe, I'm home!" Roman said once we came into the apartment. "I'm in the kitchen, cooking dinner," I heard Lucy yell. She had changed, she was like me before. We both don't like to be in the kitchen. We hated cooking and loved to eat only. But because of Roman, I learned to cook. Lucy was the same, she did learn to cook because of Roman. "Have a seat, I'll be right back," Roman said, and happily strode to the kitchen. A few minutes later, both Roman and Lucy emerged from the kitchen. My eyes locked with the woman. Her face was overwrought with guilt. "It's been a while Lucy dear," I said and Lucy ran towards me and hugged me. We almost toppled down. "Tara, I'm really sorry for betraying you and taking Roman away from you," she sobbed and patted her back gently. "I have forgi

    "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

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.

    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.

    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.
