After 3 years…“Please tell me, Ciara, you know how much I regret what I did to your sibling. And you know that I have truly changed. Please...." Eluard begged sincerely."Just wait for her to show up to you. That's when you'll know she's ready to face you!""Please Ciara, I'm begging you with all my heart. Please just tell me where she is for now. I just want to talk to her for a moment," Eluard added.Ciara sighed and was confused about what to do. She felt sorry for Eluard, her husband's cousin, but she didn't want to break her promise to her sibling."Have mercy on me, Ciara. Not a day has passed that I haven't looked for your sibling. And not a day has passed that I haven't regretted the sins I committed against her...."Madeline asked, "Tell me, Eluard... are you using these kids to have a date with me?" as she sat on one of the beds in the room.Eluard sponsored a large amount for the Child Foundation that I organized.Eluard remained silent and didn't respond to me, playing wi
Since Eluard is not here yet and I haven't had dinner, I decided to hang out at one of the private pools. I found out earlier that this place is only for Eluard's family and guests. Many celebrities and politicians have stayed here. It is also known as one of the top resorts in the world. I wore a white two-piece bikini - I thought for a long time whether to wear a bikini or shorts and a shirt, but I wanted to swim so I wore this. I'm the only one here. I'm sure Eluard will arrive later, and there's a lot to take care of, especially in the summer when many guests will arrive. The place looks so peaceful, and the temperature is just right. Since it's already night, there's a bit of a breeze, but you can really feel the summer because even the wind is warm. This is the first time I've been to this resort. I wonder why he never took me here before? I waded into the pool and sat on the second step of the stairs leading down. I'll just get my body used to the water and then I'll swim in a
After 20 years, everything has been going well and the love story of Eluard and Madeline has become stable after ups and downs. Their love has become stronger and they have grown to love each other even more, especially as they see their daughter Hannah growing up. Their daughter wanted to live independently and start her own business, so they allowed her to do so. She preferred to keep her family background and wealth private, as she wanted to build her business on her own merits.****HANNA'S POV Love at first sight? Nah! I don't believe that. I didn't feel love the first time I saw Gino Villasis. I just admired him for being good-looking, manly, and sweet. His smile could make my knees turn to jelly... His gaze could quicken my heartbeat... But I know it wasn't love. It was just a simple crush. A crush, period! But I didn't expect to fall harder when we finally made love. And now, I guess it was...love at first f*ck.[A few months ago...]I hesitantly looked up at Gino after readin
GINO's POVI first climbed onto the bed because she needed to go back to a room where Rain was to get her massage oil. After a while, she returned. She was standing a few steps away, wearing a white robe, and I wondered if she was wearing anything else underneath. I gestured for her to come closer. I patted the bed for her to lie down. She immediately followed me. She lay down on her stomach with her robe still wrapped around her, and my heart started to race. What the heck was I thinking, offering her a massage? I won't survive having my hands on her body for that long. This was a stupid idea. Maybe it won't be the surgery that ends my life, especially since I know my heart is weak. Maybe this massage of hers will be the cause of my death. Still, that thought doesn't stop me from reaching for the oil. I knelt beside her and tugged on her robe. She immediately felt that I wanted to remove it, so she didn't move and just helped me. She slightly lifted her body to untie the knot around
GINO'S POVHe didn't respond, even though he understood what I wrote on his back. Instead, he adjusted his position on the bed. Even though he was still between my legs, he tried to lie down comfortably. When we were face to face, he smiled at me. He raised his hands to reach my face and pulled it down to meet our lips. She kissed me. A deep satisfaction filled me, and the desperation I felt to be inside her increased. I pulled my T-shirt, shorts, and underwear—all of which she had bought for me—off before parting our lips. It felt like we were still a married couple. When I was completely undressed, she looked at me. She licked her lips and looked down at my straining erection and then back up into my face. Her eyes were shiny and dilated. I felt a drop of precum bead on my tip as I took in her perfect breasts, the pink nipples already hardened and begging for my mouth. I smiled and couldn't help but lean down to claim her lips. Sweet. She's addicting. I finally moved on top of her,
HANNA'S POVI took advantage of the opportunity when Gino was in the bathroom taking a shower. I grabbed his black leather pouch, which was quite large, from the top of the bedside table. He only brought that when he arrived here last week. I didn't notice it right away because he left it in the car. He only took it out the next morning. The one time he opened it, I didn't see much of the contents because I was leaving the room at that time. I caught a glimpse of it and saw what looked like a charger wire. I didn't see the other content.While Rain was asleep in our bed, I took the pouch and sat on the edge of the bed to open it. Inside, I found an iPhone charger and some medicine bottles. There were three bottles of ascorbic acid. I had seen these before at Greensouth, on top of his refrigerator. But back then, I didn't pay attention because I thought they were just vitamins. But now, I wanted to open them. When I opened the bottles, I found different contents. And I don't think thes
HANNA'S POVThe days dragged by. My heart felt like it had cracked open and lay heavy in my chest, and the tears constantly threatened. But I tried to avoid crying whenever Rain was around or when he was still awake, because I didn't want him to worry. Especially when Gino left without saying goodbye one morning, I was caught crying in the living room by Rain, I didn't realize he was awake and had come down from his bed alone. He was worried and asked me why I was crying. He also asked where his daddy was. And all I could tell him was, "He's gone for a while, son. He's looking for his voice. Once he comes back, he'll have his voice again," even though I wasn't sure if his voice would come back. I missed him so badly that most days I felt like I was underwater- looking at the world around me and wondering why I couldn't connect, why everyone and everything was cloudy and distant, inaccessible. Even at work, I couldn't focus, I was always absent-minded. Because I worried, too what was h
HANNA'S POVMy heart leaped into my throat, and I let out a loud gasp, bringing my hands to my mouth. Pure happiness filled every cell in my body as I saw him standing there, looking like a god. He seemed somehow taller, bigger, exuding an authority he didn't have before, yet still retaining that beautiful gentleness in his eyes. I blinked, mesmerized. His dark hair was longer, curling over his collar, and he was dressed in a black suit and tie with a light-colored dress shirt. His shoulders appeared even broader, his frame larger, and his beauty more intense. I drank in his appearance, my heart beating triple times. I vaguely noticed that people were watching us as I took a step toward him, and he moved toward me, as if we were being drawn together like magnets by a force neither of us could control. The people on the dance floor made way for him, and I stood waiting. The lights twinkled around me, and the music swelled as Gino approached me on the dance floor. When he reached me, we
GINO'S POVNine months later......This is the second time I've seen Hanna give birth. She has now given birth to the carrier of my bloodline. And I think I fell in love with her again, even though she looks extremely tired. She's still the most beautiful woman on earth for me, and of course, my Rain. Speaking of the second most beautiful girl on earth, she is being taken care of by Janice. They are at Greensouth. We took Janice back one week after the wedding so that she could help Hanna take care of Rain. Because of me, I can't be a full-time stay-at-home dad to help her because after the wedding, dad asked me to work in the company. He said that no one else would inherit it but me and my future children, so I should prioritize that over my bar and resort. But the bar and resorts are still open. I hired someone to manage them and report to me. I still visit them when I have time. "Because our child is a boy, Rainbow doesn't suit him," Hanna said as she looked up at me. The doctor wa
HANNA'S POVWe were planning to go out of the country with Gino for our honeymoon. Just the two of us. But it seems unlikely to happen because now that he can speak, Rain doesn't want to be separated from him. Since we were at the reception in a well-known restaurant here in Greensouth to celebrate our wedding and his birthday, Rain didn't want to let go of Gino. He didn't want to come down. He wanted Gino to carry him all the time and kept asking questions. He wouldn't stop asking questions. Gino was running out of answers because every time he answered, Rain would ask why again. "Dayyie, where are we going?" "Yes, baby." "Where?" "To another country, baby." "Why, dayyie?" "So we can talk." "Why?" "Because I want to talk to you. And I want to tell you I love you and I miss you." "Why, dayyie?" "Because I love you." "Do you love mommy too?" "Yes. Very much. Both of you." "Why?" "Of course." "Why didn't you tell me and mommy right away that we're going to another country?" "Because I w
HANNA'S POV After getting dressed and having my makeup retouched, I decided to peek through the back door, despite feeling nervous, to catch a glimpse of the event happening in the neighboring house. Phoenix had mentioned that the venue was right in front of Gino's house, a beach wedding. He also said that Gino had decided on a beach wedding and chose to have it here in Greensouth since this was where we met again after two years. I didn't open the door too much, just enough to see them outside. I was even more nervous because everything was in place. Everything was perfect. The first thing I noticed was the white carpet below my deck, leading to the venue. The carpet was scattered with pink rose petals. Pink, because that's the motif I saw. Maybe he remembered that pink is my favorite color. The chairs were also adorned with pink ribbons, and in the middle, there was the place where Gino and I would be seated. It looked like an open booth with a neatly arranged pink and thin curtain,
HANNA'S POVWe left Jake's studio without Phoenix even bothering to help me change. I was already wearing the wedding gown that I liked the most, which was also for the final shoot. I asked him earlier if I could just change at my house, but he didn't agree. He said it would be a waste of time. He wanted us to start shooting as soon as we arrived. He said we needed to hurry because not only was my husband and child waiting for me, but he was too. Especially since Kia was used to having him at home. We arrived at Greensouth at two o'clock. We were still using Phoenix's car. There were three cars in a row because we also had the cameramen, makeup artist, and some organizers with us. The cars parked right in front of my house, except for Phoenix's car, which I drove inside the yard. I had the key to my house, so as soon as I opened it, I invited them in. We were going to pass through the back of my house to get to the beach. "Your house is really nice," Phoenix said, nodding as he looked
I woke up in Gino's room, but I was alone in bed. Rain and Gino were not there. I looked out the window and saw that it was already bright outside. When I checked the time on my cell phone, it was already seven in the morning. They must have gone out. Instead of getting out of bed, I paused for a moment to reflect on what happened last night. Gino and I finished what we were doing in the other room at three in the morning. I still feel the soreness in my body and the lingering sensation between my thighs. After we finished in the early hours, we quickly showered before joining Rain in bed. I ended up in the middle of them last night instead of Rain. I don't know why Gino did that. He said he wanted to hug me. And when he hugged me, he also reached Rain to hug her because his arms are long. When Rain is in the middle, he finds it difficult to reach me. I smiled as I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom to do my morning routine. Even though his voice hasn't fully returned, I
She stood there for several minutes, still looking at my hand holding her wrist. She wasn't looking up at my face. We were both shivering, our breath coming out in white puffs due to the cold weather, compounded by the fact that we were right by the sea. And then it hit me. Hanna had been holding in the emotions of my absence for three long months, and my return had opened the floodgates. I knew what it felt like when emotions, bubbling to the surface, made you feel sick, out of control - I knew better than anyone. But now, I'm back. And now it was my turn to be strong for her. Now, I was finally able. I brought my hands up and signed, "Let's go inside, babe. It's cold out here." "In the three months that you forgot about me... did you have someone else? Another woman?" Her eyes were still red. I leaned in and spoke with my hands right against her body, looking into her eyes as she glanced between my face and my hands. "Since the day Rain was born, you and her have been the only women
