“Your honor, before you make your decision today, our client, Mister Kaleb Wright, would like to make a statement,” Yael said before turning to Kaleb, verifying that his decision to speak was final. “Go ahead,” the judge approved, her hand welcoming Kaleb to the front. Getting up from his seat, Kaleb took a deep breath. He turned to his right where Vlad Cross was seated. He was folding his arms against his chest, his jaws clenched tightly. Supporting him in this trial were his manager, a few of his friends, and Lisa. Till the very end, Vlad and his attorneys insisted that the video presented by Bronze Cafe was tampered with and that it had everything to do with the influence of Kaleb Wright. The video also did not change the fact that Kaleb and his party were not able to disprove how Vlad had no knowledge of Liam’s existence. It resulted in both parties presenting their arguments to the judge, reminding her of the pieces of evidence presented over the past month that they had com
“Please. Please check again, I really need to leave Braeton,” Lisa pleaded with the airline reservations agent at the airport, hoping to catch a flight for Europe, where her parents had long relocated since Kaleb learned of her deceit. “I’m sorry, miss, but the next flight is at midnight. That is the best that I can offer you,” said the female agent. “I can put you on standby for any cancellations to an earlier flight, but as of now, there are no other seats available.” “The other option is to book a flight to London and from there, you can catch several flights to your destination,” the lady suggested. Lisa gulped. She really did not have enough money to book multiple flights, not when Vlad took the money she had stashed in her bag right before she ran away from the hotel. Now she feared what Vlad might do to her. Vlad was worse. He was an addict, and he had many friends who would do anything to get a pack of cocaine. Any threat from Vlad was deemed serious. Swallowing down h
“Wow! This is amazing!” Liam dashed from the driveway going into the vast front lawn of the new estate that Kaleb and Scarlett officially called 'home'. He practically ran around and covered the entire lawn with his arms spread wide open, as if he was flying while delighting in that free space. When Liam was done measuring the yard with his feet, he ran back to his parents and asked, “We will live here? Is this our new home?" “Yes, buddy! We will live here - well, there are still some renovations that I have to make, but after our two-week vacation, the entire home should be ready,” Kaleb revealed. Liam’s eyes widened. He asked, “After our vacation?” “Yes, baby. We are going to have a vacation.” Scarlett carefully put her hands on her waist, telling, “Your daddy and I thought we could use a good reward after going through so much lately. We badly need to go on a holiday - you know, the one that got postponed months ago?” Raising both his brows, Liam’s eyes rounded. For a second,
Nestled in coastal vegetation, overlooking peaceful beaches of Northwest Point Marine Reserve, Kaleb’s family, together with Boris, finally arrived at Matara Resort Turks and Caicos. Undoubtedly, the resort offered the most private accommodations, all while featuring modern design villas and boasting over-the-top service. After traveling by SUV through thick vegetation and winding tracks, they reached the resort’s reception area and from there; they rode on a buggy to their four-bedroom villa. “Oh, my god, Kaleb! This is amazing!” As soon as they entered the villas' gates, Scarlett blurted. The breathtaking views widened her eyes. The villa was like a mini-compound. Each of the four bedrooms was built separately with a good two hundred square feet of distance to the next bedroom, or structure. In between the bedrooms were the spacious living area and the in-room kitchen. At the very front was an enormous private swimming pool that faced the wide beach. “Beach! Beach! It’s beaut
Entering the room, Scarlett’s eyes rounded. She could not help but beam at the romantic room set-up. After her eyes scanned the room, she remarked, “Oh my god! I honestly thought they had forgotten!” “No, kitten. I just asked them to prepare the honeymoon compliments on the evening of our first day,” Kaleb revealed. There were battery-lit candles forming a walking path to the bed and one on each bedside table. The lights were purposely dimmed. At the center of their king-size bed was a bottle of red wine in a bucket of ice, two glass wines, and two bars of dark chocolate. Rose petals were scattered on the bed, as well as on the floor, and a sweet scent of jasmine easily filled Scarlett’s nostrils. She realized how jasmine incense had been lit on each corner of the room, adding to the mood of that night. Scarlett commended, “I love it." Kaleb took the initiative of opening the wine, and he filled each glass. As he hand the other glass to his wife, he proposed a toast, saying, “To
“Have you found Lisa?” Kaleb asked while on the phone with Archer. They were still on their holiday, but he wanted to investigate what had happened to Liam’s biological mother. He no longer wanted any surprises at that point, not after what had happened over the past few months. Kaleb was leaning on the side of the door from their front room, admiring the sight of Scarlett and Liam making a sandcastle at the beach. He heard Archer reply on the phone, “She tried to get on a flight the same evening Vlad was caught making a scene at the airport. That was probably why he was there, looking for her.” “Anyway, she wasn’t able to get past the check-in process because the airline staff noticed her documents were fake. Then she came back, trying to get another flight out using her real name. She was denied, and in fact, she was reported to the authorities for having fake IDs.” “Wait.” Kaleb frowned. He asked, “Are you trying to tell me that Lisa Hayes is still in Braeton?” “We think so, Mi
“Are you here to mock me? To laugh at me? To make me beg?” Lisa asked. She winced as she sat in front of the table, inside a police station’s interrogation room, two days after her arrest. Kaleb just shook his head and replied, “I wish one day you would learn your lesson, Lisa. I never wanted this for the mother of my son, but you did this to yourself.” “You knew, the moment you attempted to communicate with Liam, you would get in trouble.” Kaleb turned in the other direction before shifting his gaze back to her. He added, “And then, what is this liquid you put into the shake you wanted him to take?” “Clearly, you are a danger to Liam. You don’t deserve to be his mother -” “Shut up! Shut up. Do you think I care?” Lisa asked, her voice rising. “Right now, all I wanted was to get back at you for everything! For all my suffering -” “You blame me?” Kaleb countered. He sighed in disgust and resumed, “Please, Lisa. Look at yourself and reflect on what you have done. If you can’t see it,
Three days before the gathering in Kaleb's home, Scarlett was in the office, working. Feeling her throat dry up, she went to the pantry to fill her water container. As soon as she entered the pantry, she caught a scent that nearly made her want to throw up. She complained, "What’s that smell? It’s so disgusting?” Her friend, Joy, who happen to be there, raised a brow. She answered, “Scarlett, it’s everyone’s all-time favorite! Pizza!” Joy offered a slice, saying, “Have some.” With just one whiff, Scarlett leaned back with a full frown on her face. She grumbled, “Oh, my god! Why does it smell so bad for me?” “Pizza is pizza, Scarlett. It smells the same and we order the same thing all the time!” One paralegal said. “You aren’t pregnant, are you?" “Yeah, and it had been over a month since your long honeymoon with Mister hottie husband,” Joy mentioned, and her lips thinned, forming a teasing grin. “Pfft! No, I’m on depo shots!” Scarlett explained. “We aren’t ready to have a child

***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
