Thank you for reading. Sorry ladies. I will only publish one chapter today. Tomorrow, I'll feel better with more sleep.
“Wow, so I have a space in your study now?” Scarlett asked, seeing a new desk from inside Kaleb’s penthouse office. She smiled, thinking how she could get used to being Misses Wright. After her board exams, she could already see how both of them would end up having late-night work hours in the room; Kaleb, with his usual work and client cases for her. “Yes, that will be easier and more conducive to your studies,” Kaleb replied, walking in and pulling Scarlett by the hand. Pointing to the sofa, he added, “I've changed the sofa to a convertible bed, too -” “In case I want to rest,” Scarlett filled in for him. “No, kitten. In case we want to fuck - Aw!” A strong smack went against his arm. “I can’t believe you! I thought you promised to give me the time I need. That’s how you made me agree to move in,” Scarlett grumbled as she squinted at the man. A chuckle left his lips. He reminded, "But, we are married now, kitten, and I thought we have already established that sex is good fo
“Courtney Barnes, the court is going to sentence you as follows. With regard to count number one, attempted murder in the first degree as it relates to Philip Barnes, you are sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. With regards to count number two, attempted murder in the first degree as it relates to Cindy Barnes, you are sentenced to twenty years of imprisonment.” As the judge read Courtney’s verdict, she cried, knowing her youth will be wasted in the correctional facility in Braeton City. She tried to gain sympathy from her parents, but it was of no use. Cindy and Philip no longer glanced her way during her verdict hearing. Scarlett, who was there with her parents, just looked straight at the judge, not wanting to give Courtney and Analisa any recognition, either. Since both Courtney and Analisa negotiated for admission, they were served lower sentences, the verdict reading was brief as well. After Courtney, Analisa received her verdict. She was granted a lower sentence comp
“As your new CEO, greater things are meant to follow. The Diamond Hotels will have stronger leadership. With the Wright Diamond Corporation’s reorganization, the Diamond Hotels will have focus and empowerment.” “We have doubled the strengths of our sales and marketing team to put us out there, and make our condominium hotels more visible, and marketable. In the following year, we aim to have our very first six-star hotel.” Kaleb was giving his very first speech, representing the Diamond Hotels as their CEO. Everyone was listening intently. Scarlett had gleam in her eyes as she smiled throughout his promises. She turned to where Liam was and hoped for his usual proud expression, but she pouted, seeing him and his cousins chatting, their faces forming frowns. She turned to Kaleb at that stage and, seeing how he was about ready to end his speech, she walked over to the table where the kids were. They always settled at the same table. Together, the boys especially were clingy cousins.
Earlier that evening. Liam and his cousins were rushing to the huge double doors of the hotel’s grand ballroom. The kids were not getting enough signal to play their mobile game, and Kenneth wanted to show Graham and Liam a new trick, he learned. “Liam? Where are you guys going?” Boris asked, calling them out from the center of the venue. “Uncle Boris, we are just going by the door! Shhh! Don’t panic!” Liam suggested. "Geez!" “Don’t worry, uncle Boris, I’m here,” Kenneth assured Boris. “I’ll take care of Graham and Liam.” Being the elder cousin, Boris felt reassured that Kenneth could look after the two. He remained in his post while also eyeing them from time to time. The boys arrived at the door and from there; they settled on the seats nearest to the exit. Kenneth was showing them the vital move to the game when suddenly, a woman’s voice came through. “Hi Liam, it’s been a while. Do you remember me?” Nicole asked. Liam thought back. He wasn’t sure, not until the lady i
“Baby?” Scarlett called while cautiously sitting on the edge of Liam’s bed. Liam was sitting opposite to her, in front of his computer desk. Liam’s eyes shifted from Scarlett to Kaleb, who was still standing by the door as if struggling to walk in. Liam asked, “What’s wrong with daddy?” Scarlett moved closer to him and answered, “Liam, we have something very important to say.” “What is it, mommy?” Liam asked. Calling Kaleb with her hand, Scarlett said, “Come in here, Kaleb. I’ll start.” “What’s going on?” Liam asked as he fixed himself on his seat. “Liam, I want to let you know that we have already submitted the adoption papers. We have already received notice that there will be a court hearing to attend to my request, and it’s scheduled in three weeks.” Scarlett put on a big smile and added, “Sooner or later, we will be officially a family - me, as your mommy!” “Still,” she leaned back and reminded, “Even if without the adoption papers, I love you as my own. You know that,
Liam and Kaleb had a long day together. After taking their breakfast at the hotel, they left for the mall and went shopping. When the shopping concluded, Kaleb closed the mall’s arcade. Together with Boris, he and Liam played basketball hoops and hockey. They also played racing games again and again until boredom kicked in. The entire time, Kaleb did not entertain calls. He directed all his calls to his assistant. That day was for Liam and Liam only. Nothing was more important to him than winning back Liam's confidence in the family that they have. There were moments when Liam spaced out, just thinking or looking at a distance. Kaleb was quick to catch it, however, and offer him an embrace. Overly, he assured him of his love. That day, Kaleb could not keep count of how much he told Liam he loved him. Thankfully, each time, Liam would answer back. Shortly after the arcade, they dropped by a pastry shop to buy donuts and other treats. They took a short break and indulged in some sn
“Good afternoon, your honor. We are here in the manner of the adoption petition of Scarlett Barnes Wright. Adoption case number 34LN00351. She has petitioned to adopt Liam Wright, who is already adopted by her husband, Kaleb Wright,” a lawyer from The Longhills And Hogans, who represented Scarlett for that proceeding, delivered. Scarlett, Kaleb, and Liam were in front of the judge, listening as the hearing began. Three weeks passed since the couple told Liam the truth about his adoption with Kaleb. It wasn’t a walk in the park. Kaleb and Scarlett fell short along the way, especially with the lack of time in their hands. However, in each and every chance they had, they tried to recover, reminding Liam they loved him. Scarlett had to sacrifice many of her study hours. Sometimes, she studied in Liam’s bed, just to assure him she was always there for him. During the day, if Liam was not attending summer classes, he would spend his entire time at Kaleb’s office. Nothing changed to w
“It’s my turn to stay with your mommy,” Kaleb suggested. “No! I want mommy to cuddle with me every night!” Liam opposed before crossing his arms against his chest. The family had just had dinner at the penthouse. They were deciding on what to do next, including who will sleep with whom. Scarlett could say that the official adoption helped Liam gain back a big chunk of his confidence. He was back to bantering with his father, especially when it came to seeking her attention. By the mention of the word adoption or being adopted, he sometimes stilled, but it no longer hurt him the same way as it did during the first week when he found out. Kaleb spoiled him over the past few weeks, but that was because he felt at fault for not being upfront with his son form the start. Scarlett, on the other hand, was his check and balance. She was the one who scolded Liam whenever there was a need to correct him. Seeing her boys still in argument, Scarlett called their attention. “Guys, nobody

***Between Kristoff and Kayden*** “Grandma! Grandpa!” Kristoff and Kayden ran toward their grandparents. The Wright family gathered for the twin's third year birthday. “Oh, my dear. Help me!” Samantha exclaimed, turning to her husband with pleading eyes. With age, it became rather difficult for Ethan and Samantha to remember all their grandkids. It was especially hard with Kristoff and Kayden since they looked alike. The boys were a perfect example of identical twins. Their resemblance was so uncanny that it was difficult to tell them apart. “Who wants chocolates?” Ethan raised two bars of the treat. Kayden took one, and Kristoff took the other. Smiling, Ethan pinched Kayden's cheek. He said, “Kayden, my boy!” Then he kissed Kristoff’s cheek and greeted, “Kristoff!” “Yes, grandpa!” Each of the twins acknowledged. Samantha’s mouth fell open. Then, when the twins left, she asked Ethan, “How did you do that?” Ethan smirked triumphantly. He moved closer to his wife and revealed,
Scarlett was taken aback, hearing the news on the phone. It made her gulp. Tears stung her eyes. Her lips trembled as she lowered her mobile back to her purse. The couple was back at their mansion. It had been a month since Kristoff and Kayden were born, and finally; they were able to take the twins home. There were no complications during their month of stay at the hospital. However, the identical twins had to learn how to feed and gain more weight before being discharged from the hospital. Scarlett was inside the nursery, settling the twin boys, Kristoff and Kayden, in their cribs, when she received a call. “What happened? Why are you in tears all of a sudden?” Kaleb asked from the other side of the room. “Did Liam tell you anything about today?” She pursed her lips while wiping the wetness on her face. Then, she inhaled and said, “Any idea why he was late in seeing us at the hospital?” Kaleb’s eyes panned from side to side. Eventually, he shook his head and replied, “He did
Over two years passed. “Lily! Baby, be careful running around,” Scarlett called while setting food on the patio table. Her two-year-old daughter was running on the front lawn without hold. Scarlett glared at Liam, saying, “Liam, please. Keep up with your sister!” It was a Saturday, and weekends were meant for family time. Hence, they had their usual lunch on the patio before resuming with that afternoon’s play activity. “She runs too fast, mom!” Liam, at fourteen years old, complained while dashing after his two-year-old sister. Levin and Lewis, both five years old, also chased after Lily. They were laughing and teasing Lily, acting like zombies to scare her off. “Stop it guys. You are scaring your sister,” Scarlett tried to reason with the boys, but when the twins did not listen. Scarlett turned around and called her husband, “Kaleb! Levin and Lewis aren’t listening!” The twins immediately stopped trailing after Lily, and at the sight of their father, they sealed their lip
“What is it, father?” Scarlett asked, seeing her parents late in the afternoon at their home, her hand landing on her tummy. Scarlett was already five months pregnant and carrying a baby girl. It was precisely what Kaleb wanted. Philip and Cindy looked at each other. Philip replied, “Analisa is dead, and Courtney is in the hospital fighting for her life. We received the call two hours ago, and… we decided that we thought… we should let you know in person.” “What happened?” Scarlett asked, sitting on the couch. "How did Analisa end up dead? And How did Courtney end up in the hospital?" “The prison guard had long reported Analisa’s animosity towards Courtney. So that was why they have never put them in the same cell,” Cindy reported. “I think that was because Courtney testified against Analisa with Luca’s lawsuit.” Scarlett nodded. She recalled how Analisa was given another ten years in prison without parole. Luca was determined to put Analisa behind bars, considering how he thought
“Good morning, sunshine.” Feeling kisses on her back, Scarlett felt ticklish. Her eyes opened. She smiled with the recollection of how they made love last night. She turned to her husband and accepted more kisses on the lips. Her grin grew wider. She said, “Last night was amazing.” Scarlett recalled how, after doing it in the living room windows, they resumed making love in the main bedroom of the penthouse suite. After which, they did it again in the shower. Finally, they had a late dinner and made love again in the dining area. The couple dozed off after the fourth round, but Kaleb woke her up at three in the morning, already making love to her from behind. So they spooned into their fifth round of lovemaking. Scarlett and Kaleb delighted in sweet and gentle pecks, smiling and caressing each other’s skins. Kaleb was the first to speak. “Congratulations on your promotion, kitten… but now that you are a senior associate, I hope you won’t take back-to-back lawsuits so often.” “
Scarlett was ready to kick the man’s balls as soon as her feet would land on the floor, but she easily caught the scent of her husband’s perfume, and it wasn’t just that. The man’s arms, his height, his build, and his natural scent were just utterly familiar to her. “Are you ready for a night of pleasure, Misses Wright?” When he spoke, everything became clear to her. How could she not recognize her own husband? It was Kaleb! The man hurriedly carried her to the living room and settled her on the sofa. He climbed on top of her and his lips smashed down on hers. “Mmmmm,” A moan escaped Scarlett’s lips, making Kaleb lean back. The smacking sound of their lips echoed across the vast living room space. The lights were still off, and they could only make out their familiar figures as they began tearing each other’s clothes. Kaleb let go of Scarlett’s lips, saying, “Are you going to cheat on your husband, Misses Wright? I’m going to fuck you carelessly.” Scarlett chuckled. She answe
A year passed. “Kitten, we are outside the courthouse,” Kaleb said on the phone. Scarlett turned to the courtroom one last time, and seeing the satisfied look on her colleagues' faces; she knew they tried their very best. Even their clients, Secure Coverage International, were happy with the closing arguments. They went against Braeton city’s mayor, who had purposely burned down his vacation home to claim a fire insurance premium. In court, Scarlett and her team presented evidence that the mayor had long been planning for a complete renovation and that taking the entire house down had always been part of his plan. The judge may not have decided yet, but Scarlett believed they would win. She smiled at the happy faces of her team members before saying goodbye. “Guys, I need to go now. Mister Rick, and Miss Sanchez, thank you again for trusting us with this case. I’ll see you again next week during the sentencing.” Scarlett made her way outside the courthouse in her white, yet forma
Liam embraced Scarlett. He caressed Scarlett’s back and said, “Mom, I’m sorry.” “I just want to understand, Liam. I thought you would be happy about me being there for you. It’s been a while since I waited for you after school,” Scarlett pointed out. While she was thoughtfully hurt about how Liam acted, she relished in his embrace and hugged him back. “I was expecting you to hug me, kiss my cheeks, and tell me you miss me being there for you after school hours, but instead, you pushed me away.” “I’m sorry that I have been so busy, but I always tell you why and I come to your room every night, even if we don’t get to talk sometimes. I wanted to let you know I came to check on you.” Letting go, Scarlett could see how Liam was feeling guilty. Using his fingers, he wiped the tears that stained her face. He took several deep breaths and answered, “It’s - it’s not that.” Liam scratched his head and admitted, “I knew you were busy, mom. Dad keeps telling me too. I wish you had more time
