[ Claire ]

A week has passed, my wound is better now. Today, the doctors approved my discharge and I am more than happy to go back home after living a traumatic experience. I don’t share it with Tristan or my grandparents. I am having nightmares once again after five years. I’ll consult my psychiatrist once my wound heals.

“Are you ready to go home?” Tristan asked me with a broad smile.

“Sure, I am more than ready to go home.” I grinned, not able to hold my excitement.

“Come, I’ll help you if you don’t want a wheelchair.” He said coming over me while Miss Kim who came to visit me, held my stuffs.

“The office is really exploding with gossips, Ma’am. In the absence of you and Mr. Harris’ crime, there’s a sense of fear and insecurity among the employees as well as our partners and investors. We need to do the damage control before everything crash into vein.” Miss Kim filled me with the information I asked from her. I had been absent from the office for a week and my father’s crime is al

    [ Claire ]I woke up with a worse headache as I again had flashes of the moment my father aimed gun at me and said the most hurtful words to slice my heart. I groaned feeling direct sunrays hitting my sleepy eyes. I sat up carefully as my body had turned stiff and I still feel mild pain when I move with force.I didn’t find Tristan in the room. I requested him to sleep in the same room but he refused to sleep with me on the same bed because he was scared of hurting me in his sleep as he has a habit of holding me. He took the couch despite my constant requests to sleep on the bed.I checked the time, it’s eight thirty in the morning. I decided to do my morning chores without anyone’s help since I don’t want to be a burden on anyone. My family left no chance to remind of this when I was recovering from the accident and I needed a caretaker for about one and a half month.I felt slight discomfort but I managed to bath and change into a loose top and skirt. I might be looking like a coun

    [ Tristan ]“How is he, doctor?” I asked the doctor and the psychiatrist who were treating my nephew.“I don’t think he is in a good shape, Mr. Pierce. This boy has witnessed traumatic events and endured physical abuse, in such cases, children slip into severe mental issues. The panic attack was just an early sign. I advise you to treat him like a fragile case, nothing sort of violence and negativity should be around him. I hope you’re getting my point. The foster homes sometimes don’t provide a healthy environment. The charity homes or orphanage aren’t your option since he isn’t an orphan but comes from a well known family.” The doctors advised me.I glanced at the sleeping figure of the boy and thought about it. Ryan will come for him as soon as he gains his consciousness.“Thank you, doctors for notifying me on time. When can I take him home? I don’t want to leave him under a stranger’s care.” I asked them.“By the evening, you can take him but you have to talk to the charity group

    [ Tristan ]“Alicia! Is that really you?” I couldn’t believe on my eyes when I saw my friend in such a vulnerable condition, skinny and pale.“Tristan, I knew you’d come to save me.” She said in a broken voice.I took a step forward in her direction. Her frail body was trembling like a dry leaf. My own eyes filled with tears as it was very hard for me to believe that a vibrant girl, who used to be full of life and had fun like crazy, now locked in a dark hell.I touched her face and she closed her eyes while leaning on my shoulder.“How it happened?” I found it hard to speak.She lifted her face and her lips quivered as she tried to speak. I helped her to sit down on the single bed. the place looked awful, the screaming and wailing of mentally disabled women shook my heart, I couldn’t imagine how she had been living in such place.“Marrying him was the biggest mistake of my life.” She sniffed.“I can’t agree more. He is the biggest jerk I have ever seen.” I said, my hatred is increasi

    [ Claire ]I waited for the whole day. I was anxious because Tristan didn’t sound good when I called him. He told me to wait because he’d tell me everything once he comes home.“Mom, stop worrying. If Dad told you to be stress free means he can handle the problem he is dealing with. Please, stop killing the floor by continuous pacing.” Travis said to me lifting his face from his book.“You’re right, Travis but I can’t help it. Your father is late. I mean look at the clock, it’s almost eight in the night.” I said glancing for the millionth time in the clock.He shook his head and picked my phone, “I am calling dad again for your mental peace.” He said but before he could make the call, the door bell rang.“I think it’s your father.” I said and Gina went to open the door, I followed behind her because I desperately wanted to see him safe.When the main door opened, I saw his figure on the door step and I sighed in relief but when my eyes shifted on his right side, I was both surprised a

    [ Claire ]“Hey, come here.” Tristan said who slipped in the bed beside me after the dinner. Thankfully Alicia requested to eat in her room. I was glad because I am sure I wouldn’t have eaten peacefully in her presence.I snuggled into his arms. It’s my favourite sleeping position though I feel bad for his arm but he doesn’t mind allowing me to use his arm as my pillow.“You know, it is the best time of my day when I can finally have you in my arms and find my peace, no matter how challenging my day was.” He said with a smile. I like this trait about him. He never misses a chance to make me feel wanted.I kissed his chin with a smile, our gaze never breaking. I found surprise in his eyes.“Sleep now, Tristan. You are exhausted, it’s visible on your face.” I said while running my fingers in his hairs, he closed his eyes to feel my touch, his creases relaxed.“I can do anything to have your fingers massaging my head, it’s a heavenly feeling which I missed in five years.” He said with cl

    [ Claire ]It wasn’t ethical to ask Alicia about her past link with my husband but I don’t want any kind of danger on him and it wasn’t wrong because I can’t trust Alicia.“What do you want to know, Mrs. Pierce?” She blinked her eyes innocently at me.“Please, drop the formalities now. You can call me Claire.” I said as I am still not habitual being addressed as Mrs. Pierce.“Then stop calling me Mrs. Bale, it feels more like an abuse. I hadn’t adopted Ryan’s surname, one of the many baseless reasons he hated me for.” She told me with hint of sadness.“You’re safe now. You can start your life fresh with your son. It will be challenging and not easy at all but I am sure you’ll overcome.” I said to lift up her courage.“I don’t think, Claire. He has given me deep wounds which I don’t think would heal easily. He is a monster who will chase me to the end of the earth if he won’t be sentenced for his sins.” She said.“He will, he must pay for his crimes. I and Tristan won’t leave him easil

    [ Tristan ]I promised Alicia and Claire that I’d fix everything but it’s not as easy as I thought. I received a call from the hospital where Harris was admitted. They told me that he passed away in the midnight but I had pretty doubts, it couldn’t be possible since he was recovering and his reports were normal.To find out what actually happened, I called Mr. Lee to do it for me since I wasn’t allowed to meet the convict of a murder case. The evening rolled on but I hadn’t received anything from Mr. Lee which was making me anxious with passing moments. I hadn’t told Claire about her father yet.“Sir, Mr. Lee is here. Should I send him inside?” My P.A. asked me through the intercom.“Yes.” I said and sat straight to meet my detective, I was having knots in my stomach. I was angry on my fate. I wanted to punish Harris but his death was quick and painless. How could he die so peacefully after ruining many lives?I was busy cursing my fate when the door opened again and Mr. Lee walked in

    [ Tristan ]“Are you sure that your sister isn’t playing a trick this time?” I asked Caleb who was frantically yelling on the phone for last one hour.He turned around only to give me a frustrated look, I might offend him but Mia Jones is no less than a spoiled kid who throws fits to gain her family’s attention.“Mia’s phone is found beside the road in a broken condition. No one knows my sister better than I do. She is obsessed her phone and the only time she keeps her phone when she sleeps.” He said.I glanced at my watch, it showed around six. I should be heading back to my home but I couldn’t leave Caleb alone, he was dealing with everything alone and being his friend, it was my duty to help him.“Alright, please calm down. We can look for her with the help of police also. I know they haven’t helped us much in our previous matters but if her life is actually in some kind of risk, then it’s better if we inform the police.” I advised him and it was the most sensible thing to do.“You

  • I Married A CEO Dad   Epilogue

    [ Alicia ]Three years, it has been three years since I tied the knot with the love of my life. It was a simple court marriage first but I didn’t imagine that Caleb planned a real wedding for us when I got discharged from the hospital. It was again a private ceremony since I don’t like loudness and wastage of money but we did invite people close to us and the number of guests reached to two hundred.Life could be no better than this. Caleb is a dotted husband and father to Alex and our one year old twins; Clarissa and Aaron. When we became pregnant, our happiness had no bound, he treated me like a queen and my son was a step ahead of his father. They cried when they found out that I carrying twins.Clarissa is the apple of everyone’s eye. Her father and elder brother are super protective of her. Sometimes, I feel jealous of my own daughter as she wraps her father around her little finger.Today’s our third anniversary. Ryan Bale died due to liver decease. Mrs. Jones’ mental state wors

    [ Alicia ]“What happened to Mrs. Jones?” I asked the siblings and the bitterness on their face told that it wasn’t a good news.“Caleb, I think you shoulder answer this because that woman’s mention is driving me nuts.” Claire said with disdain.Caleb pinched the bridge of his nose, he also looked displeased but my curiosity hiked up.“Why aren’t you both telling me anything? Trust me, I am fine.” I assured them, I thought they were worried for me.“She’s in mental asylum. The doctors found out that she was mentally disturbed and she needed urgent medical supervision. Leaving her with other people might be harmful for both her and others like she had done to you in the fit of her anger. She is becoming violent day by day.” Caleb answered my question and I was quiet for a moment.“She didn’t deserve all this but nothing is in our hands. I hope she recovers soon.” I said since I held no hard feelings for her.“Ali, you can’t be this kind, people will take advantage of your kindness. Som

    [ Alicia ]I woke up with dull pain in my head and I found myself in the hospital, I expected it when I recalled how I landed here. Mrs. Jones wanted to kill me but I survived. The doctor came and examined me, they said that I am lucky to have a husband who never my side even for a second.My eyes were impatiently glued on the door. I was waiting for my loved ones to walk in. I couldn’t pay attention to what the nurse was saying to me and then, the door pushed open and walked inside my husband with our son. The gleam and relief on their tired faces were the proofs how much they suffered when I was out.“Hey, love.” Caleb said in a whisper.My heart raced when I heard his smooth voice though he sounded tired.“Hey, handsome.” I greeted him.“I’ll give you two space. Mr. Jones I hope you’re breathing normally now.” The nurse joked and walked out.“Mom, how are you?” Alex asked me, he wanted to jump out of his father’s grip but Caleb held him in place.“I am feeling recharged after seein

    [ Caleb ] The night felt like the longest. I couldn’t blink my eyes for a second even though they were burning due to lack of sleep. I had this fear inside me if I sleep and she wakes up then I won’t be by her side and she couldn’t press the bell by herself. But finally, my eyes gave in around four in the morning. I slept on a sitting position beside her bed so she could call me if she wakes up.I was woken up by a gentle tap on my shoulder and I slowly opened my eyes, it was a nurse who gave me a polite smile. I looked at Alicia, she was still sleeping and now my heart began to sink, it has been fifteen hours since she’s unconscious.“Mr. Jones, please go and fresh up till I am here with your wife. The doctor will take a round in next thirty minutes, only he can speculate when your wife will gain her senses.” The nurse said as if she read my dilemma.I wasn’t in a mood to leave but the nurse was right, I couldn’t help either if I stay. I stood up and stretched my stiff muscles and r

    [ Caleb ]Every passing minute felt like eternity to me as I waited outside the operating room. My Alicia was fighting for her life while doctors are doing their best to save her. I closed my eyes and prayed to the God to save my wife. She had suffered a lot in her life and when I promised her that I won’t let any pain touch her, my own mother tried to kill her just because she dared to love me.Never in my wildest dream I imagined my mother to take such deadly step. She followed my father and grandfather’s path. She tried killing an innocent for her so called perception about my wife.“Caleb, please have this or you’ll fall sick yourself.” Tristan’s voice forced me to look up at my friend. He was holding a cup of coffee and I shook my head in refusal.“I could save her, Tristan. You warned me, my house staff warned me about her violent behaviour but I didn’t confront her first and busied myself when she got the chance and hurt Alicia. My wife asked me to give her a chance and how she

    [ Alicia ] The next day, we were ready to leave for our house. When Alex woke up in the morning, he came running into our room and jumped on us. He was over the moon after seeing us. We cuddled with him, I couldn’t get enough of him.“Mom, I missed you and Dad but I am a big boy. I did all my work.” Alex told me proudly, he was the only one who kept me occupied or else, my mind was going back to Mrs. Jones.Caleb was lost in his own thoughts. I gave him space since it was the hardest part for him. He had to deal with his own mother and probably he had to make a tough decision.“I know my big boy.” I pinched his nose and hugged him close to my heart.Soon we reached at our home, it gave me peace to look at the home we built. Caleb picked Alex from me and I stepped down. Our guards and house staff greeted us at the entrance, they looked relieved.“How are you all?” I asked them.“Trust us, Ma’am, we would have gone crazy if you didn’t come back today. Mrs. Jones is driving us crazy wit

    [ Alicia ]I stirred in my sleep and immediately a smile stretched on my lips when I saw my husband sleeping like a baby on my chest, his soft breath was falling on my bare breasts, sending a ticklish sensation on my skin. I caressed his hairs and kissed his forehead, these seven days were the best days of my life. We explored almost every famous part of the country, currently we were in a hotel’s suite since we had an early morning flight back to our home.I left the cottage at the island with heavy heart because we made the most beautiful memories of our lives there. He made love to me in every corner of the cottage. He was serious when he said he’d have me whenever he wishes. He made love to me like a mad man.“Wake up, sleepy head. We have to head back home.” I slowly tried to wake him up.He stirred but didn’t wake up, “Please, two minutes, just stay like this.” He groaned and snuggled his head more into my chest and smiled on his childish act.“I won’t mind you having here with

    [ Alicia ]Caleb’s hands slowly removed my robe off my body and his eyes darkened when his eyes landed on my body, his hands froze on my forearms.“Ali, what is this?” He asked me, his heavy voice was the proof that my appearance had an effect on him.“I though it’s your favourite colour.” I said and blushed, it was the lingerie that Claire forced me to buy. The maroon colour in lacy fabric, barely covering any body part was more appealing for the eyes of a man.“It is but I didn’t know I would love it the most on you.” His lips curved upward as he roamed his lust filled eyes on my body, scanning each part of my skin. I felt my cheeks heating up, his gaze was intense.“I’ll have the pleasure of fucking you with this lingerie on your body. You have no idea how much it has turned me on.” He said, his thick was said it all.He pulled me on his lap so we could sit on a straddling position, our cores were touching, I felt his growing bulge where I needed him the most.“Do you feel it, baby

    [ Alicia ]“What are we doing here, Caleb? We can’t see the sea in the darkness.” I chuckled when mu husband asked me to join him for a short walk after we reached back at our cottage and changed.“I have something for you, love but first I want you to close your eyes.” He said.“Why have I a feeling that you want to give me a surprise?” I narrowed my eyes but I was excited from inside. Whatever he does for me, it’s always special, even the smaller gestures.“Yes, there’s a gift for you but it’s also a surprise, now stop asking and close your eyes.” He said and I closed my eyes because I couldn’t wait for my surprise.In a few moments, I felt something cold around my neck, metal exactly and I guessed it was a chain or necklace. He made me wear a necklace and then he kissed my neck. I touched it to feel the design.“You can open your eyes now, love.” He said and I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the piece of jewelry. My smile vanished and my jaws dropped in shock.“Cal…Caleb, how d
