Richard’s POV Having pulled her into my hands, I felt her arms wrapped around me in a tight embrace as I tried to figure out how I got here.I never had the intention of getting intimate with Vanessa.It’s just a hug, chill out big man.My body was starting to respond to just how her body fit perfectly into mine and I couldn’t get to wrap my head around it. My hormones were running wild and I’m currently imagining the things I could do to this tiny body right now.I gently removed her from my body before my dick think for me and held her face up to wipe off her tears with the back of my hand.I led her to one of the sofas facing her kitchen directly and sat her down there. Kneeling before her, I looked up to her face and smiled at her. I could swear something happened to me when she smiled back. I just can’t explain the feelings.“Why didn’t you told me my mom invited you to her restaurant?” I went into the kitchen to fix her something to eat.“It doesn’t matter, it happened a long ti
Vanessa'sPOVAfter the little outburst between I and His royal highness, we never talked that much ever again.He'll only call during the day to ask how the "baby" was doing and remind me of my checkups at the hospital. I'm actually grateful that he's staying on his own lane because I was about to go crazy enough to hit him.Gratefully, he hasn't said anything about my workplace.Even after Dae moved out days ago, I still find it difficult to inform him of the new development because I know how he'll start grumbling about how it's not safe for me to stay alone in the house. It's a two bedroom apartment for Christ's sake.I was almost closing at work when I saw Michael walk into the place with a suit on and I swear I'm drooling, I can never get enough of this guy's cuteness. Scratch that. Hotness"Well, what's the occasion? you look great" I praised and he smiled. God, that smile."Had a meeting with some investors and it was a success. I can get open two new cafes around town""Wow, th
Vanessa’s POV "Good morning Nancy, Drake, Kelvin, Liza and finally good morning Michael" I greeted everyone as I entered into the restaurant to resume for the day's work. It's been two months since I walked into the restaurant looking for a job and fortunately enough that I got one.Even though the pregnancy was starting to show, it was still a little bump that can be pass for normal. Everyone had been nice enough to work with except for Nancy, there's always a witch in the castle, right? I'm not all that surprised about her behavior, I've been with people like her in the past."Good morning, Essa" they all chorused back. I got the name Essa two days after I started working here, they were all complaining about how Vanessa was too long for them to pronounce, therefore decided to shorten the name to Essa."See me in my office with the account book within ten minutes, I need to clear somethings out" Michael instructed before going into his office without waiting for my response.I guess
Vanessa'S POV"That was one hell of a stunt you pulled yesterday, I guess I underestimated you. You're crazier than you look Vanessa""What do you want? Demon"It was a weekend which means a work free day and I was enjoying my sleep before the devil decided to pay me a visit, knocking on my door so hard it could break. He’s the last person I wanted to see so early in the morning and with him being here, I can say partially I’m sad and on the other hand, sad! "Let me in" he said and I pushed the door towards him more trying to close it.I frowned at his act and glared at him but he just wasn’t getting the message. "Get the message boss, you're not wanted" I was too tired to allow him inside because he'll definitely complain about something and I'm seriously not in the mood for an argument today."I'm not here for you in any way, I'm here for the baby" I finally succumbed and opened the door for him.He strode into the house as if he owned the place. I almost banged a wood on his head
Vanessa's POV"Good morning, Vanessa" It has been two days since I moved into Richard's luxurious apartment that was gracious enough to have a jacuzzi and a swimming pool just at the backyard of the house. The. Inner view was stunning. It left me speechless after I saw the house for the first time."Hope your night was perfect?" I looked at him weirdly before dropping my bag on the table that was in the kitchen."More like you wish I died in my sleep, right?" He places the coffee mug that was in his hand on the table and shrugged."I'm not that evil, Vanessa""Says the man who manipulated me into signing a contract and still use every opportunity he gets to blame me for signing the stupid contract" I knew bringing up that topic will cause n early morning ruckus but I needed him to know that I will always be angry at him."Are we going down that lane this morning? It's Monday for Christ sake Vanessa and even though you behaved as if I didn't exist throughout the whole weekend, can't we
This chapter has mature scenes, read at your own risk?, I won't be responsible for any of my actions on this ??.I might end up removing this chapter though.Vanessa's POVAfter our little "usual" argument a while ago, I decided not to leave the room, until it was few minutes midnight when I decided to stop punishing the baby by not feeding myself.I was craving some ice cream and I remember Richard stocking up the fridge with various flavors Incase I craved one.I left the room and headed to the kitchen. I put on the light and opened the fridge to search for a chocolate flavor and when I got it, I looked for a spoon and settled on the chair behind the kitchen counter to have some and later eat some Pringle before going to bed.I heard footsteps and before I could find a way to leave the kitchen, the demon appeared in front of me even before I could blink."I see that you decided to leave your room finally" I stood up from the chair to exit the kitchen so as to avoid another round of a
Vanessa's POV"Let me help you with your seat belt, I know you're too local to handle something like this" Richard mocked with an evil smirk on his face.After staying at his house for what seemed like years even though it's been for three months, I've tried my best to ignore his wrath and mad attitude.I've also learned to warm up to him, understand him for who he really us but not accept the mad attitude in him.We never mentioned what happened that night, both of us pretended it never happened and moved on."This is your first time in a plane, right?" He asked. We are currently on our way to his country as per the request from his father."If your brain had been working instead of mocking me, you'll know that I didn't fly or crawl all the way from the Philippines" I retreated into my space to ignore him for the rest of the flight."Little Miss Smarty pants, you could have explained in clear words""I'm too tired for your troubles today and that doesn't mean we won't talk about the
This chapter is dedicated to Eleanor... thank you so much for staying with me through the process of writing this book. I love ya❤️Vanessa'sPOVI woke up to hear my phone ringing, not bothering to look at the screen, I picked up the call"Good morning Essa, how was your night?" I removed the phone from my ear to see who the caller was and I realized it's Michael. He was really helpful during the process of looking for a new apartment and when I finally found the one I love and could afford, the previous tenant refused to move out. Gladly, I'll move into my new apartment next week."Hey Michael, good morning to you too. My night was okay, thank you""How's Richard?""You're just being polite, you don't like him that much to ask about him" I could hear his laughter from the other end of the line."Why will I hate my own cousin? That's totally unfair, Essa. You just broke my heart" I imagined him placing his hand on his chest."It's the truth, it's not like you really like him that much"
Richard’s POVVanessa said yes! She was ready to be coronated with me as the Queen. Even though it took much persuasion and begging and arguments, she still ended up saying yes. I was thrilled and grateful she had said yes.I watched as my whole family prepare for the coronation day, different clothes were brought in and Vanessa was getting too tired from picking a cloth for herself and also for Racheal from the thousands of clothes being brought to our place.
Richard’s POVThe next morning came just like every other day, normal and nothing unusual other than the fact that I got to wake up to a beautiful face.After taking a shower and having my breakfast with mom, Vanessa and our daughter, I made my way to dad’s office that was in town.He was in the middle of a press conference when I got there.
Richard’s POV We arrived at the Palace few days after and we were welcomed by my mom, dad and other important royal cabinet members. My mom couldn’t stop gushing about Vanessa and her grandchild. I knew how much it was difficult for her to accept that the relationship between her and I might change after my biological mother had surfaced, still I didn’t let it bother me.We were eating at the dining table when one of my uncles started up a conversation that he couldn’t finish. “When are you going to meet up with your mother Richard?” Uncle Thomas was a distant relative. He was more of dad’s childhood friend than family. Even though I never had any string attached to him or any of his families, I had to respect him and knew he had to know his boundaries too. “My mother is right here, so what are you talking about?” I purposely said that as I understood his question very well.“I mean your biological mother, Richard. A woman can bring up a child but that doesn’t say mean she’s the ch
Richard’s POV Two hours after my mom left, I still couldn’t get over her revelation. It was shocking and I was surprised. Finding out that I have a brother somewhere in the world was a strange feeling. I’ve always known myself as a single child and I don’t even know how to feel right now. Mom said I was a product of my father’s extra marital affair, that I knew about but having a brother was not the type of package I was ready to accept. I felt withdrawn from Vanessa and Racheal all of a sudden, it was as if a cold bucket of water was poured all over me. I had rejected myself to the chair placed in my kitchen. Thinking back and forth about what I should do. Should I call this my so called brother and ask him about our mother? Can I even call her mother? Yes! She’s my biological mother, but will it be right if I call her mother despite the fact that it was easy for her to give me away to another woman. She never showed up for years and she never cared about how I was surviving or
Richard’s POVVanessa was discharged from the hospital and I couldn’t be anymore grateful that nothing happened to her. We were both in the house when mom came visiting hoping to have some time with her granddaughter.Mom was smitten with Racheal and I couldn’t help but smile at the thought. Who wouldn’t love that angel though? Nobody I guess.After making me attend a tea party yesterday and also this morning, I realized that what a daughter wants, a daughter gets. Being a father is still a new feeling for me and I’m praying I don’t mess things up before she could turn into an adult. Everyday I keep walking around her like she’s an egg, pampering and loving her the best way I could and even though Vanessa complained about it once, I had to let her know I was trying to make up for the lost days. “Where’s my cute little angel?” My mom inquired as she walked into the house. Her bodyguards were outside the door, that I’m sure of. She never went anywhere without them.“I guess i don’t e
******Vanessa’s POV After I had woken up at the hospital, it took me more than enough minutes to try and decipher my location. My brain was in a haze and I had to pause the different thoughts in my head for a moment before it finally dawned on me that I was in the hospital. I tried standing up from the bed and resting my back against the head of the bed before I watch the Queen walk out of the bathroom with my daughter in her arms.I was mesmerized for a moment. I never knew Richard’s mom would care this much. I actually thought she was this stone cold, witch from the North of a cold region. Maybe people really do change and I hope this change is something that’ll be of benefit. Seeing my daughter again was the best thing that had ever happened to me and I’m really glad to be able to see her and grateful that I didn’t die in the arms of Dae and her friend from something I knew nothing about. My eyes got blurry with tears, but I promised myself already that I wouldn’t cry not even
Special Request: Hi everyone, ive just started uploading this book on this website and I need all the love and support that you guys can give.************It was almost dawn the next morning when I heard a knock on the door. I was still fully wide awake, checking up on Vanessa almost every minute. I couldn’t sleep a wink. The whole incident really shook me to the core and for the first time in my life, I was scared. I was scared for the people I called mine. The doctors came in to check up on her pulse during the night, as per my request and assured me that everything was fine, my Vanessa was fine. She had woken up few hours back to ask for water, after giving it to her, she also asked about our daughter, I had to assure her that Rachael was fine for the second time. We talked a little about the incident, and I had to explain to her about how I met Dae and Andy. She drifted off to lala land even before I got the story to the mid part. Things would have been different if I had me
Richard’s POV”We have tracked his location, it's down town in an old industrial building, though from our surveillance camera, there’s no activity going on inside. Our only guess is that they’re using the basement” the detective informed me. I had called a friend who was a police officer to get involved in the matter. I didn’t want to do anything that could jeopardize the life of Vanessa. I can’t afford to lose her, for me and for Racheal’s sake.“Don't you think this will be dangerous? What if Essa get hurts? I can't afford that” I complained
Vanessa’s POVAfter Richard dropped me off at my apartment and drove off with Rachel to the amusement park, a part of me detected that something was wrong.I had locked the door before leaving this morning and now the door was slightly open, I looked around to see if anything appeared strange or suspicious and when I couldn’t see any, I proceeded into the house.Immediately I turned on the light, my eyes almost left his socket as a result of the shock that ran through my cold blood when I saw the state of my house, everywhere were turned upside down, it was as if a world war just broke out in my apartment.I was about bringing
