Waiting
Loraine stands on the docking jetty, staring out over the bay.She realizes that she now has to move on in her life without the people who really loved her and were her pillars of support. Now is the time to grow up, take life seriously.Danner is in prison for a crime designed to bind her to him.She had a forbidden relationship with Dordrich, which was predicted to end grievously.And Aziel, her soul mate has a new girlfriend with whom he wants to start a family.And she, she's been left alone, those she counted on have fallen out of her life, beyond her reach.At these thoughts, acid indigestion moves with great pressure from her stomach to her mouth. She quickly drops to her knees, bows her head, and forcefully throws out her breakfast into the water. Twice more, her stomach gives out before she falls dizzy on the pier. Some guests on the terrace of the yacht club see her fall and run to her aid. Andre, who’s working in his office, hears the commotioMy Baby"Daddy!"Lorrich runs towards his father on his chubby baby feet and throws himself confidently in his arms. Andre cleverly catches him and places him over his head so that he sits comfortably on his shoulders. “Come and see what mommy made. She repainted my whole room so beautiful,” he tells his father in his baby language, wobbling to encourage Andre to walk faster in the house. He's impatient to show him how nice his room has turned out after Loraine's total makeover.Yesterday they went to the furniture store where Lorrich could choose his own new bed and cupboards. The guy turned out to know exactly what he wanted and combined the colors perfectly. Tomorrow is his fourth birthday and Loraine throws him a big kids party. Almost all children from his toddler and swimming school are invited, including those from the immediate vicinity. Nothing has been left out to dress his Batman theme party as great as possible. Andre wants the best for his son
Andre went with Lorrich to pick up Archer and Kaylah from the airport and take them to Loraine's house. Loraine now has her own house built on the island, with an ocean view and walking distance beach access. Archer sold the previous house she rented from him and with that money he bought shares in Windrug&So.When Loraine hears the car arrive and the doors slam shut, she rushes to the garage to greet her friends. They’ll stay with her because her house has enough space to host at least ten people. “Kaylah, Archer”, she exclaims happily and gives each of them a hug. After the lavish greeting, they all walk into the house to the sitting room. All that time, Lorrich circles Kaylah urgently asking her to hold Kasher. But Kaylah doubts he can support the baby's weight as Kasher is fat and heavy. When they finally arrive in the sitting room, she puts the baby on a mat so that Lorrich can now take care of his little brother, as he calls Kasher.The adults inspect the decorat
She is BackAmazingly beautiful, like she just stepped off the cover of a beauty magazine.She has matured, her body now has real feminine curves, her hips wider and sexier, her breasts that were already full are now rounder and peaked more forward. Her jet-black hair is, as always shiny and full from her shoulder to her waist. I think back to the times when I hid my face in it, how I long for those moments. In her silver-gray eyes there is a stern look and the impression on her face is one of no-nonsense.This is another Loraine, one who emits a warning aura and commands respect from everyone around her. Her steps are with more confidence and the everlasting smile that once hung around her lips is now replaced by an earnest full streak.She is now drop-gorgeous, attractive as hell. I can feel the familiar tingling through my body after it was years in hibernation. No woman was able to give me this feeling, one of deep desire and certainty that I belong in those
Engagement RingNew York hasn't changed at all.Everyone is still in a rush, the crowds on the sidewalks seem to never stop. Compared to the quiet Barbados, this is a stressful city.I scour the people looking for familiar faces. No, let me be honest, I'm looking for Aziel. I hope to meet him in these weeks I'm here. How I long to see him, but at the same time I fear to meet him. Is he now married with children? Does he still live in this town? Does he miss me? Will he come and meet me even for our good old days and take his wife with him?I once burned myself on a married man and I’m not into that anymore. If Aziel belongs to another woman, I'm willing to give him up for good. But while he's still single, I'm determined to conquer him, make him fall in love with me again. That will be my second mission.But first I have important matters to settle.My son is in danger of losing his legitimate inheritance and I cannot allow that. What
Just Sign“Loraine!”The name echoes through the conference room of the Fellogan Building. Loraine, accompanied by Kaylah, Archer, and Alyssa, have just walked in and are now thoughtfully examining the shareholders present one by one. She walks straight to Dordrich who is sitting at the head of the table.“Mr. Fellogan”, she greets him formally with an outstretched hand. He grabs it like a drowning man a lifebuoy. "What are you doing here? If you've come to speak to me, let me postpone the meeting for a moment," he says breathlessly, staring at her insistently."Not necessary. I have come to participate in this meeting. More than half of the shares of Fellogan Holding are mine.” Loraine signs Kaylah who hands Dordrich a copy of the legalized shares. He examines it in astonishment and turns back to her. “You bought my company's stock? Why? Or can I guess that?” he asks. A glimmer of hope lights up in his eyes.Loraine looks at him closely. Dordrich has aged in recent y
InsecureLoraine has been in New York for three days now. The acquisition of the shares, the various researches and studies, training for workers, and presentations to high staff require a great deal of energy. She is present at every staff meeting and encourages the employees at the beginning of every training.Much to her delight, everyone is motivated to save the company. Especially in this period of global Covid-19 pandemic, nobody wants to lose their job and income. All the more the success of the transformation.But between all the hustle and bustle, Loraine keeps thinking about Aziel. She knows by now that he must be close, and she continues to wonder why he doesn't come to her. His girlfriend is visiting, but Loraine thinks he could find some time to meet her. She decides to take the first step. Tonight she is going to visit him at home.Loraine herself lives with Kaylah and Archer until her house is in order tomorrow. Because it was closed for a lo
LoraineOur lips connect in a breathtaking kiss that explodes in a compelling desire. After all the years apart, the physical need is intense, none of us can control it. I cling to him as if I'm afraid he could disappear at any moment. Our clothes fall off, none of us know whose hands did it. Aziel leads me to the bedroom, while I rub restlessly against him. His lips grace my neck on the way to my breasts and as he takes a nipple in his mouth, I feel a pool of juices forming between my legs. And then I lie on my back on the bed his lips are now at my stomach, traveling to my thighs.I can hardly wait for the release that only he can give me. I pull him back up by his shoulders so that his face hangs above mine. I want to look him in the eye when I do my confession. “Aziel, I love you so much. Missed you so much in my life. Will you marry me?". At first, his body tightens and he looks at me in astonishment. Without answering me his lips find mine a
When I open my eyes again, I see Aziel staring at me. I give him a watery smile, when I think about how we went all out last night, I feel a bit shy. Aziel seems to read my mind and laughs. I snuggle against him, it feels like before.“My love, this is something of ours. In the future we will continue to please each other, we are made for each other”, he whispers to me. He now holds me back and tilts my face to his. “Loraine, do you want to be my wife, be with me in good and bad times, even after death?”. Look, Aziel has proposed to me before, but this time, now that I recognize my true love for him, it feels completely different. The joy and gratitude I feel are unbelievable. “I also proposed to you yesterday. You didn't answer me," I remind him. His thumb caresses my lips. “Because I want the privilege of asking you first. You know I've always wanted to be your legal husband. You weren't ready for that then. And now?".
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
