“Tobias?”Celestine perked up from the couch at the sound of the main door opening and closing.She watched as he walked into the living room, a deep frown marring his face.“Is everything okay?” She stood up from the couch and met him halfway, placing her hands on his shoulders to examine his face.
“But-““Please, take it,” Maria insisted with the type of smile that Amara couldn’t turn down. “Please?”Hesitating a second long, Amara finally nodded and accepted the gift.“Let me put it on for you,” Lorenzo offered and helped her fasten the necklace around her neck.Once she was done, Amara glan
While everyone in the Hall applauded and praised Amara’s beauty, Celestine felt like she was losing her mind.Wasn’t Amara meant to be an orphan from a poor background? Then what was this?! Why was she standing on that stage, smiling, and looking so gorgeous while baring the Crawford name.“What the
“Ah, I see you two already met each other.” Richard said, grinning from ear to ear at how the situation had surprisingly turned out to be In his favor.“Yes, Amara and I, quite close.” Elijah added and Amara looked away, tightening her hold on the wine glass in her hand.Quite closer her ass! If the
“Why?”“I don’t know.” Elijah shrugged. “Probably Because, I enjoy spending time with you. You’re different from all the girls I’ve been with, or even met. That difference made me feel something I actually liked, so I got selfish. I didn’t want to give it up. Not because hatred steamed from somethin
She owed him- a total stranger- zero explanation.“What part of I don’t have to explain anything do you not understand?”Tobias gritted his teeth. “You…”“Do you realize how ridiculous this looks? We are divorced, we are strangers, then why are you making such a big fuss over a simple matter.”“Simp
The party came to an untimely end when Elijah returned with Amara in his arms. The moment Elvis learnt of the injury in her leg, he became frantic, ordering for the guests to leave, and for a doctor to be called.It was a flurry of activity that ended with Amara tucked tightly into her bed, an IV ba
“The Crawford family is a powerful one, If Amara truly is one of them and decides to get back at us for all we’ve done to her, we’re gonna be in a lot of trouble.”Speaking it out loud made reality seem more real and her panic grew, making her have the urge to pull on her hair.“You have to fix this
Fiona nodded her head and Melanie, with a proud look on her face, smiled.Elvis looked at his granddaughter, and his lips tugged upwards. “You look beautiful.” He complimented. “Your mother and father wouldn’t be more happier.”“Thank you, grandfather.” Amara said with a happy smile.“Are you ready?
Elijah stood in the cold, hands tucked into the pocket of his winter coat and eyes watching the very first snowfall of the year.It had been a year; a whole year since he left Italy, one year since he last saw Amara’s face and eight months since he Melanie handed him the invitation to she and Tobias
A soft smile tugged on Tobias’s lips as he watched Amara’s sleeping face.After spending nearly an hour and a half in the bathtub, washing each other’s body and kissing every now and then, Tobias had finally helped her out, and after putting on her undergarments, dressed her in one of the dresses he
“Hmm, it seems you’re still sensitive down there, Princess.” Tobias teased and Amara, through the cracks of her finger, glared at him.“Shut up.”“As you wish,” He leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. The feeling of his lip against her skin made Amara shiver in a good way “But, first,”He
“Yeah, yeah, sure.” Amara rolled her eyes.Tobias leaned forward and captured her lips. He kissed her a few times, before he pulled back.“How about we continue last night after breakfast, Love?”His suggestion earned a blush from Amara.“You’re such an asshole.” She said and smacked his arm once ag
Amara learnt the hard way that someone like Tobias wasn’t a person you should ever tease.Round after round, their moans echoed and the smell of sex was pungent. It was sometime around 2 in the morning, 3 hours after they had returned from their date, and Tobias was still going at it like they had j
Tobias made it to his place in record time. He was quick to park his car and he didn’t waste a minute before opening the door for Amara and leading her inside his house.The moment the door closed, he pushed her against the door, and without waiting, kissed her.His kiss was deep and demanding, but
“Why the fuck do you have a gun on your yacht, Tobias?” She asked, a look of shock on her face.When she saw him reaching for the gun, she tried to grab it, but Tobias was faster than her.“Don’t play this game,” She warned. “It’s not worth it, I forgive you. There’s no need to-““I won’t hurt mysel
It was just as Amara had predicted.The location of their date turned out to be in the middle of the ocean, taking place on none other than Tobias’s private yacht.Waiters and a few musicians, for entertainment sake, we’re invited. At the center of the yacht’s first floor, was their dining table, de
