[ Claire ]After having the coincidental meeting with Tristan’s mother, I decided to meet Tristan as soon as possible because it wasn’t something I could hide from him. His business might be at stake if Olivia was speaking the truth. The last thing I want is to see Tristan in troubled water.Since everyone knows that I am their bosses’ wife, I directly went to his office to meet him. He was busy discussing something with his CEO. The tensed lines on their foreheads were proofs that they were in between a serious discussion.“I am sorry for coming here unannounced but I have to tell you something very important.” I said without waiting for his reaction as I entered in his cabin. They stood up from their seats.“Good afternoon, Mrs. Pierce. I’ll leave you two alone.” Mr. Gale greeted me with a slight bow.“Good afternoon, Mr. Gale, please stay here. You need to hear what I have to say.“Claire, what happened? You look stressed.” Tristan rounded his way towards me.“Please, sit down, Tri
[ Claire ]“Here is the last dish, my signature smoked chicken in spices with steamed rice and grilled tuna fish. I have prepared Greek salad to balance the carbs.” Tristan said placing a large tray containing our food on the table. We set the dinner table at the terrace as the evening was beautiful and we wanted to enjoy family time.“It looks really delicious, Dad.” Travis’ eyes sparkled when he looked down at our lavish feast prepared by his father.“I can’t wait to dig in. Take your seat, Tristan. We’ll offer our prayer and then we’ll dig in this mouth watering feast.” I said and he took off his apron and sat between I and Travis. We said our prayers and I first took a bite from the smoked chicken.“Umm, it’s so tender and juicy, this is the best chicken of my life, I swear.” I moaned as flavours busted inside my mouth.“I am glad you like the food, Claire.” Tristan smiled widely.“Dad cooks the best grilled tuna, Mom. You should take it and then you’ll forget the chicken.” Travis
[ Tristan ]Two days have passed since my last conversation with Claire. I was glad that she didn’t try to hide it from me but a part of my heart felt hurt because she tried to prove my mother right. Perhaps, she is saying the truth but I can never trust Olivia Campbell who ruined my life. Today is the day when she gave me birth and abandoned me. She filled my childhood with scars and broke my father completely.It’s my first birthday without dad and it feels empty from inside. I can’t still digest the fact that he is gone and he isn’t coming back, ever.I removed the dried flowers and leaves from the grave of my father and placed fresh flowers. My eyes became moist. There is no one to see my weak state, just I and my father.“Hey, Dad. It’s been a long time since I last came to visit you. I am sorry. It’s my birthday and I miss you a lot. I wish you were here with me. We could have started our day with a lavish breakfast and played golf. I miss the last toast with you. Why did you le
[ Claire ]Today’s Tristan’s birthday. We haven’t on talking terms since the night he burst on me for favouring his mother which isn’t true. Keeping my self-pride aside, I took half day from work to prepare for his birthday with the help of Travis since I have no idea how he celebrates his birthdays. He’ll miss his father so I have to make sure that we make this day memorable for him.“Mom, Dad doesn’t like cake and sugary treats much but he loves home baked cakes with a lot of dry fruits in vanilla flavour. We can add protein in the cake to make it a healthier option for him.” Travis said. The maids were also helping us. We decided to celebrate his birthday in the mansion. I know he was trying his hard to run from facing the bitter reality and to supress his pain and grief.“We’ll decorate the living room with purple silk curtains and arrange a projector to display his pictures and videos from his childhood, his memories with Grandpa and the moments of his achievements.” Travis sugge
[ Tristan ]I forgot all my grief and the inner turmoil when I saw the surprise my family had planned for me. To be honest, I didn’t expect them to do something for me on my birthday, especially Claire. She gave me the biggest surprise as she took efforts to make me feel better after Dad’s demise.And Travis, well his gift was the best part. I couldn’t believe that my five years old son and my father had planned a honeymoon trip for me and Claire behind our back. My father believed that one day I and Claire would be together.“Thank you, Dad for the birthday gift. I won’t disappoint you, I promise.” I said looking over the sky.I kept the tickets in my drawer and also put off the cufflinks, they were the most precious gift I ever received. I kept them safely in my cupboard and decided to clear my schedule for two days. If my Dad wanted me to give my marriage a booster push, I’d do it with dedication.I was busy studying the data when a knock on the door interrupted me. I thought it wa
[ Claire ]I stirred in my sleep when I felt soft breath falling on my chest and a tiny figure close to me, it was a surreal feeling. When I finally opened my eyes to look at the source of the comfort, a smile crept on my lips as I saw Travis’ cute face who was snuggled close to me and then I saw his father sleeping soundly, wrapping his arm around us.I wish to wake up to this beautiful scene every day. I can’t believe that this is my own family, my husband and my son. Not having the heart to disturb their sleep since it was Sunday. I slept early last night so I woke up before the sunrise. I somehow detangled myself from their grip and slipped out of the room to use the other room’s bathroom.After doing my morning routine, I went into the kitchen to prepare a cup of coffee. I decided to ditch the gym for today since I work out daily and maintain a good shape. The dawn time is my favourite time which I prefer to spend alone, watching the beautiful sunrise. After a long time, we were
[ Tristan ]I saw her shutting her eyes as her back arched on my desk, a gasp which turned into a needy moan was like a drug to me. I spread her thighs and smirked when I her wetness for me. I watched her with admiration as if she’s a spectacular creation of the God.I ran my fingers tips on her slit causing her to curl her fists.“Tristan, please….I need you now.” She gasped.I rocked my hips on to her, my erection sprang up as soon as I took off my pants and boxers. I wanted to dive deep inside her. I held her waist and pushed my tip slowly into her entrance. I sucked a deep breath as she clutched around my thickness.“Please, I want more.” She moaned out greedily. As much as I wanted to take it slow, her request forced me to break my own rule and I surged my full length inside her in a single thrust.“I’d rather want you to scream my name, baby girl because this room is soundproof and I want to hear how my name sounds when I fuck you into oblivion.” I said and with that, I began to
[ Claire ]Tristan is a good person who is selfless and kind but I felt proud of him even more when he shared the traumatic story of his nephew and how he wants to save him from the monstrous clutches of Ryan Bale. He knows the pros and cons, it might create more challenges for us, yet he is willing to help his nephew and his sister-in-law.“Ma’am, you look happy. I can see it on your face.” Miss Kim teased me as we were out for sight seeing. The progress was visible as the workers were building the workshop and the engineers were mapping the area.“You can say that. You know my son has gifted honeymoon tickets to us. Can you believe?” I told her about Travis’ surprise. I was shocked when Tristan revealed two tickets of Aspen.“The boy is really a modern kid. He also wants his parents to come close. I think you shouldn’t miss this chance and go on your honeymoon. Maybe, he wants a sibling.” She teased me and I felt butterflies in my stomach. I didn’t think of having another child but
