Photographers
And when I open Dordrich's message, my blood almost clots in the veins.
A photo of the three of us, Dordrich, Lorrich and I, beaming and looking into the camera. How did he come to this, I wonder in horror? This means he knows about Lorrich's existence. How is this even possible, I wonder. Lorrich just arrived and Dordrich already knows about him. So we will have to make more haste in informing my son about his parentage.
When I look up, I see everyone at the table staring at me. Shaking my head I hand my phone to Aziel so he can look at the picture. “Oohhh Goodness. This changes a lot. Fellogan will certainly make trouble, this is his trump card”, he sighs and passes the device on to the others. Everyone agrees with him.
“Wait, I don't think we should be premature. Let's see what his next action will be. He wants to upset us. Lorrich has to get used to this new environment before we come to him with heavy subjects li
Lots of LoveSocial media is going crazy with the photos of Lorrich in Aziel's arms as Loraine walks beside them. ‘The First Family of New York’, tops many tabloid reports. Many are guessing about the identity of the boy who has only a few features of Loraine. His blond hair makes many guesses about who his father might be.There are photos where Lorrich is zoomed in and placed in the middle of Danner and Aziel for people to recognize similarities. And then again between Danner and Dordrich. Many are guessing that Danner or Dordrich is involved, as Lorrich sand blonde must be a mix of Loraine's black hair and his father's blonde head. Aziel is excluded by almost everyone because of his black hair.But there are still many who know that Loraine lived in Barbados all these years. The boy is recognized by fellow passengers on the flight on which he and Andre traveled to New York. There is still speculation that the man who arrived with the boy is the father,
My DiscoveryAfter five years I am back in New York, the city that never sleeps.The memories float up like a hurricane. In this city I have had wonderful moments, here Dale confessed his love to me. And after that we had shared so much love, I can't see New York other than the city of happiness and affection.Lorrich went home with Loraine and Aziel, so I have a few days off. My godson has been everything to me in recent years, I have devoted all my time and love to him. He was like a salving for my deep wounds, which I never thought would heal. But from the day I held him in my arms in the delivery room, I knew this little guy would change my life. Loraine has given me all the space to bond with him, to make him fill the void in my life.I didn't think this day would come when I would set foot here again.Barbados is my home port, I have my well-run business there, I actually have nothing to do here. But it looks like Loraine will continue to liv
AzielLoraine went to dinner with Fellogan and their son tonight.I don't trust that man, he clearly wants to hit on my wife. But Loraine assured me that she will never have a love affair with him again, she agreed to go with them to give Lorrich a sense of peace that at least his parents can be kind to each other. They've been gone for an hour now, I'm starting to feel restless.To pass the time I prefer to go to one of my favorite clubs where my friends also hang out. That might give me some distraction. I don't intend to stay there for long, Loraine will be back home with Lorrich after about two hours. I start the heavy engine and drive to the nearby bar. When I park, I see that the vehicles of at least two friends are already there. I look further to see if I also see Damian's, but no, since he has a new baby, clubbing is no longer there for him. That man and his wife are busy with family expansion every year, that lucky man already has seven childre
During the evening she raped me twice more in the same way. And there’s nothing I could do to stop her.Sometime in the early morning, I wake up and notice that the fog in my head is largely lifted. The drugs have almost worn off. Still a little stiff from the night's activities, I slowly turn my head and look at the sleeping face on the pillow next to me. To my horror, I recognize her.This is Clairy, the daughter of Abi and Jonas from Barbados!She's older now, the childish features of her face have now given way to a hardened expression "You!", I now whisper. My eyes go wide in disbelief, she's the last person I've thought of who would do this to me. I know she had a youthful fling on me, but it never occurred to me that she was capable of this. Slowly I sit up, wanting to make sure my head is clear. Then I grab the woman next to me by the shoulder and pull her up roughly.“What is the meaning of this? You drugged me! This is punishable
SecretsLater in the morning, I walk to the bedroom to wake Loraine.She smiles at me and hugs me tightly. How good does that feel, this is the body I want to feel against me forever. But my conscience gnaws, I feel soiled by the stranger who touched me without my permission. Loraine is my wife, out of sheer remorse I kiss her deeply. “Loraine, know that I will always love you. There is no other for me but you”, I whisper in her ear.She kisses me again and runs her lips over my neck. That scares me, I have not yet inspected my body for possible traces that that evil witch might have left. I wouldn't be surprised if she purposely applied hickey all over my body. I grab my wife's hair and raise her face to mine. "Always stay with me. I promise to never disappoint you and always tell the truth,” I insist. She looks at me strangely and I realize that I am behaving differently. I'm used to telling her I love her, but this tone suggests there's more to my
LoraineAziel is stressed!I think this whole affair involving Dordrich and our son is hurting him mentally more than he cares to admit. The two most important men in my life get along very well, Lorrich adores Aziel, everything Aziel says is a fact for him. He always asks Aziel for his opinion, only wants an explanation from him, his whole being revolves around Aziel. I'm so happy, I can shout it out to the whole world.I'm just curious how he will place Dordrich in his life.During dinner he asked all kinds of questions about how we met, whether his father was nice to me and why I went to Barbados. We told him honestly what happened, which we thought was the best thing since our entire affair is smeared on social media. A few more years and Lorrich can google himself and we don't want him to be confronted with lies.His eyes sparkled when I told him I fell madly in love with his father the first time I saw him. When Dordrich confirm
This is HomeThe photoshoot at home with Aziel and Lorrich is great.We are intimately connected with Lorrich on our laps, he is the jackpot of our lives. And the way he clings to Aziel, the bond between the two is clearly strong. In a few days, Aziel was promoted from 'daddy Aziel' to just 'daddy', which surprised me quite a bit. Because he still calls his biological father "daddy Dory".The difference in the photos is clear. Although he obviously loves Dordrich too, his childishness shows who he trusts most, whose love he wants to keep at all costs. And he holds us both, as if he connects us, our love. Even Alyssa is surprised at the chemistry between the two, she watches in amazement how Lorrich determines his own poses, resulting in beautiful images. Our little man dominates the whole session.In the end, Alyssa collects her equipment very satisfied, while praising Lorrich. She projects a great future for him, being a Fellogan and Windrug as well. And
And from that day on, my happiness knows no bounds.We are a happy family with our best friends. Lorrich has his best time. Andre enrolled him in a preschool and today Anele and Dordrich are taking him to his first day. He is completely ready, together with Aziel he has selected his school bag and supplies, bought new clothes in town. Aziel now does the final inspection as Dordrich drives into the garage.The latter steps in with Anele. “Lorrich, ready for your first day in school?” his father asks, squatting on his haunches. Anele takes his hand. “Don't be afraid, my brother. I'll stay with you and if they're not nice, we'll go back." Anele protects her brother like a mother hen, not even an ant dares to bite Lorrich. It always looks so funny when the two are together.Lorrich gives me a kiss and hugs Aziel before he leaves with the two. I lean against Aziel when I see my son walking away, he is growing like a weed. I can barely remember the day I held him like a b
Finally!Mrs. Loraine Aziel Renegade. Nice to meet you all out there.Aziel has just sworn his undying love for me in front of a hundred-strong crowd here in the Protestant congregation. Before the God we serve, he promised to always be there for me in good and bad times, share all my sorrows and joys, and never again hide his struggles from me.Yes, we've had a rough time.We both went through a deep hell, but God had mercy on us, we are resurrected and have overcome. And today we start a new episode in life. I’m Mrs. Renegade, the title I aspired to, dreamed of for a long time. And today it has all become a reality. I am the lawful wife of that wonderful, gorgeous man I saw standing by the pulpit waiting for me, who pulled me tenderly by the hand beside him. I love him, have told him so many times. There's only one secret left to share with him, and I'll do it tonight.We are now walking into our reception, Kaylah has organize
When we are inside the room, we indeed see Aziel lying on the bed. It's like he hasn't bathed or shaved in days. He lies there snoring like a sailor.Damian grabs him by the shoulders. “Aziel, Oooh My God! No, man, no!” he exclaims. He gently shakes Aziel until he opens one eye. He looks at Damian blankly and closes his eyes again. “Aziel, we're here, you can't sleep any longer, wake up!” Damian insists. And another eye opens. A hand goes up slowly. “Damian? Aren't you a dream?” he asks hoarsely.I quickly get a glass of water and give it to Damian. He puts it against Aziel's lips. “Drink something, it will make your throat feel less coarse”, he encourages the obviously absent-minded Aziel. There's a sip and another. I go to the other side of the bed and help Aziel sit up straight. “What have you done to yourself? Why didn't you come to me like you always do, Aziel? Running away from problems doesn't solve t
Fellogan's Rolls Royce now comes into view. Little can be recognized of the expensive car, it is a total wreck. Obviously, he flew into the guardrail lost control of the wheel. The paramedics are quick to respond, as is the fire brigade. Because emergency workers are running to the spot, there is little to see of the accident for a few seconds on tv. Until the journalist on-site announces that they have managed to get Fellogan out of the vehicle and he is still alive.“Yes, the assholes in this world have seven lives,” Archer curses. We see Fellogan being transported to the helicopter on a stretcher. His face is bloodied, his head is supported with a clamp. It's clear he's in a lot of pain, but he's holding his ground.We drive on. "Let's hope this doesn't become another obstacle in our friends' relationship," Damian sighs. “Those setbacks always follow each other. What the two need is peace, in their relationship, in their life.”
“Man, this is bad. How did we lose sight of them? This was inevitable, Aziel simply succumbed”, Damian sighs. “We should have been alert when they arrived. Ever since the funeral, we should have forced him into therapy.”We look at each other with guilt.“These two clearly belong together. And that Fellogan also pulled some tricks, which certainly didn't work well on their relationship. Why do I feel like that idiot did it all on purpose?” Archer grinned. “I never liked him. A cheater can never have high morale.”We're going at high speed, the speed cameras have already caught us a few times. But that's for later concern. Virginia is our target and we want to get there as soon as possible. “Archer, turn on the television. I want to see what the media has made of Loraine's case," I ask him. He zips some channels until we do see breaking news. The reporter tries to get the medical staff to talk an
What follows is total chaos.Somehow the press learned that Loraine would be transported by ambulance and amassed outside the house within minutes. Fortunately, her garage is covered, allowing the ambulance to be ushered in and cut off from the outside world. This way we can protect her privacy as much as possible.Meanwhile, Damian and Kenjal have arrived.Kaylah and I ride in the ambulance with Loraine while the others follow with their own transport. The paparazzi follow behind us, it's a madhouse. “Kaylah, would we rather not have transported her per helicopter services? This is crazy!” I ask distraught. The paramedics gave Loraine first aid and placed her under anesthesia. She's pretty weak, she's been on the bed for days, the nurse said. I hit myself on the forehead, why didn't I act sooner? I never thought Aziel would leave, I thought he had the situation firmly in hand. Not so.“We'll handle this, don’t worry.
Andre's POVBoth Loraine and Aziel are out of reach.Their phones are off, they haven't been seen in the workplace for days. Lorrich also asks about his parents, I can't give him an appropriate answer why they haven't called him these days.This is a bizarre situation. In any case, they would have told me if they were leaving the country, even if it was on a business trip. Nor have this couple ever neglected Lorrich, even now that he lives with me. Since we arrived in New York, the two have been struggling with serious relationship issues, and Loraine got her memory back. Attempts by me to mediate failed hopelessly, Aziel could not vent his heart towards me. And as it turns out, not with Loraine either. This won't end well, I can feel it coming at my toes.I have avoided alarming our other friends about what’s happening these days. I know how emotional Kaylah reacts to everything Loraine regards, Rick and Kenjal are Aziel's buddies. No
I have been very restless all day.Yes, I am sexually frustrated, Aziel has been sleeping next to me for days without touching me. But that's not my biggest problem.Aziel is not only physically inaccessible to me but also mentally. He shuts me out completely, when I want to lean against his chest as usual, he turns away from me, when I reach out my hand to touch him, he keeps himself out of my reach.Mentally I'm broken too. What is certain is that we cannot continue like this, we have to solve tense between us ourselves. We can't live without each other, breaking up is not the answer to our problems.Dordrich is to blame, I swear!Very finely, he set up the plan to separate Aziel and me. It already started right at my return at the airport by completely ignoring Aziel. He clearly had a hand in the screenplay set up there. And the news items where I'm in his company are broadcast longer and more often from an angle where we seem to b
Aziel's POVI meant what I said that night.The debacle of my children, the rape, the kidnapping of Loraine and everything that happened after that could have been prevented if I had been more alert. It's all my fault, period!And that Fellogan keeps peddling it in the press, he’s on a mission. I hardly dared to look Loraine in the eye for the past few weeks at home. She noticed the change in me, I see that she suffers a lot. Late at night I even hear her crying next to me in bed.After my confession, everything in the house has changed.Even Lorrich sensed it, he was having a hard time dealing with the changed atmosphere. Andre has come a few times to persuade me to discuss what is troubling me. But I'm not ready to talk about it yet, I have to come to terms with myself first.I feel Loraine's pain, but there's nothing I can do to ease it now. She's mentally too far away from me. We hardly communicate, just sitting at th
The memories return in full force when Loraine enters the house with Lorrich on her arm. She quickly falls on the couch and holds her head. The last days leading up to her amnesia, the stress of Aziel's lawsuit, distraught watching Aziel suffer from the attacks from the media, everything resurfaces.Also, the day she was lured from the hospital by the head nurse and Danner who was waiting for her in the parking lot. “Mommy, what is it?” Lorrich asks concerned when he sees her pained face. She looks at her son, she knows he is too young to understand the evil ways of adults. Aziel, who has just entered, sees Loraine's gray face. "Angel, are you feeling well? You look terrible" he asks concerned. She beckons him to sit next to her and buries her head in his chest. “Everything is back. I have my memory back, my head is pounding", she whispers.A stabbing headache begins to set in, she massages her temples in the hope that it will pass. Quickly, A
