It was already late at night when we drove back home. The ride home was quiet, because Amari was sleeping in my hands. She looked so tired after a whole afternoon of playing and singing with her aunt, uncle, and grandparents. When we arrived home Flynn opened the door for me and took Amari from me. He carried her inside and tucked her in as I was standing in the doorway watching them.So peaceful. So perfect even though it wasn't.After he turned the air conditioning on he walked back outside and closed the door behind him. "Thank you." I said as I walked him out. "For bringing us to your family picnic."He smiled and kissed the knuckles of my hand. "Anything for my Princess and Pudding."My heart squeezed when he said that. "Flynn I'm---,"It's okay." He whispered softly, letting go of my hand. "It's okay. I will take things slowly, but I promise that I'll get my family back." He walked back to his car and turned around flashing me a bright smile."No matter what!"Jill Malik P.O.V
"Can we stop talking about the past? I cannot change anything. I'm still thinking about ways how to win Jill's trust back." I looked out of the window. "She's such a precious thing. Do you know how much I hate myself right now? God, I sound like a pussy.""You sound like a man." Rodrigo corrected me. "A man who wants his woman back."Rodrigo phone went off. He checked it and sighed deeply. "I don't regret to be a married man, but damn your sister can be such a goddamn tease."I scrunched my face. "Disgusting. Don't talk about your nightly adventures with me."Rodrigo laughed out loud. "Seriously? You're the one with the daddy kink.""I don't do it anymore. I just realized how fucked up it sound. Geez, why did Jill even called me that."Rodrigo stood up and ruffled his hair. "Well, I will see you later. Wifey wants pizza."..........What colors roses do Jill like? Pink? Red? Why are there even so many? Damn it. I gave up and picked out a pink bouquet with roses for my princess and a r
Does she even know that she's the most beautiful woman I have ever seen? I should probably tell her that. She needs a reminder."Someplace fun." I answered mysteriously and motioned for her to sit down. She sat down next to Amari, across me. "Let me guess. To another state?"I shook my head. "Wrong. More like to another country."Jill's eyes widened. "Are you serious? Which country?""Scotland."Flynn Vasilios P.O.V"What?!" I yelled out bewildered at the flight attendant. Theo just smiled apologetically at me. He just brought me the news that it was impossible to enter the UK let alone Scotland, because of the heavy snow storm. "Ssshh." Jill rocked Amari who was sleeping in her hands back and forth. "What happened?" She whispered."We cannot enter Scotland. There's a heavy snowstorm going on. It's impossible." Theo explained to Jill. He then looked at me. "Didn't you check the weather in Scotland?""It was good earlier today. Even the pilot agreed that it was possible to make it to
Flynn gave me a disapproving look. He sat across me and folded his arms and stared at me. "Jill, don't worry about the medical bill. I've got it all covered. The only thing you should worry about is Milan." His voice was stern, but gentle. "Flynn, you don't have to do everything for me. I can manage it on my own." I mumbled, tapping my fingers on the table. "I know you can, pudding. But I care for Milan too. So don't worry." He said softly. "I haven't seen him in so long, you may not know it, but I actually missed him."A small smile appeared on my face. I never thought that Flynn would miss Milan. I knew he cared for him like an actual father, but it just never crossed my mind that he would miss him. I thought he just liked Milan to impress me. "Where's Amari?" I asked after a short silence. "She's sleeping in the room. Princess is so tired.""I bet she is. We only have been for a couple of hours on land. I'm so sorry we couldn't stay in the castle. I really loved that place. I h
Jill laughed out loud. "No, not even close. But I promise you they are so good. You should really try it."The way she laughed, the way she talked. I never realized how much I missed this until now. I have missed her voice and presence. "You look beautiful." I blurted out."Thank you, Vasilios." She answered, smiling. "You look handsome yourself."I stepped out of the car and walked to her side to open the door. "My lady." I said, stretching my hand out at her. Jill smiled at me and placed her hand in mine. She better do to, because I'm positive all the men inside will be gawking at her. But what can I say? She's beautiful."So," I said when we entered the restaurant,"What do you want?""A calamares. Two calamares.""What is a calamate-what?" I asked, confused. I know everything about finance, business, and trade, but don't ask me about food. Especially foreign food. I'm not an expert in that."Calamares," Jill laughed, "It's fried squid rings. Oh, oh and you should also try the patat
"Yes, pudding. You will totally like the clothes on her. It's the from their new collection."I let out a deep sigh and shook my head. It's not like I could do anything about it. "She will be so spoiled. Look, she's already wearing heels."Flynn chuckled and walked over towards me. He planted a kiss on my forehead. "You are a great mommy. Thank you for everything you do for her.""It's my duty. But oh my god, is it really necessary to buy her all these expensive stuff?"Flynn placed his finger on my lips to silence me. "Shh pudding, let's go have breakfast. Amari baby girl, let's eat.""But I wanna play with the pony.""You can play with the pony later, baby girl." Flynn said and carried her to the kitchen. Zhoya had already prepared breakfast for us all. Croissants and Toasts."I also made scrambled eggs and fried eggs." She said, "Dig in guys."Breakfast was delicious. Zhoya was a really great cook.We went back to the living room to open the presents. Even Milan got a present from
Flynn stayed silent for a while. "Uhm, it was great." He said after a moment of hesitation. "Actually... Sera came by today... at my office."My heart stopped for a millisecond. I stared at Flynn, waiting for him to continue. He probably saw the horrified expression on my face, because he shook his head."No, I made a promise to you and I will keep it until my last breath. Actually, Sera came to apologize."I raised my eyebrows up at that. "And? An apology will not excuse the things she did.""But I was also at fault, pudding. I admit it. What happened three years ago wasn't only her fault. We both know it. But that's not the point.""Then what is the point, Vasilios?""Sera's pregnant.""And?""She got raped. She's carrying the child of a rapist."My breath got stuck in my throat. Now I was the one that was speechless. I would never wish rape or dead on my enemy or someone who did me wrong. It's horrible and disgusting.Flynn continued, "She came to ask for my forgiveness so that she
BONUSRaelynn“No! Please! Somebody, help!”The car skidded out of control and tires burned their rubbered tracks into the road. I gripped the ‘oh shit’ handle in the car, feeling us careening out of control. I screamed for help as I saw a car going over the edge. Sounds of metal crunching against metal sounded helplessly in my ears as I cried out a name I didn’t recognize. A name that sounded unfamiliar, even as it fell from my lips.Then the world muted itself around me.Our car came to a stop just beyond the impact point. The mangled guard rail in front of us ignited into flames as I pushed out of the car. I stumbled around, feeling my stomach upheaving its contents onto the road. I couldn't regain control. I couldn't see straight. Between motion sickness and worry bubbling in my gut, my dinner didn’t stand a chance of staying down.“Help!” I roared.I stumbled to the guard rail and peered over the edge. I gazed into the darkness below, watching it undulate, as if it were laughing
