"How about if we eat some grilled corn?" Bill suggested."We should head home; it's getting late," replied Sebastian."Just stay the night!""Stay the night?" Sebastian furrowed his brow suspiciously."Hey, hey! Keep your mind in check, Seb. I'm already married, so I won't do anything with your wife. Earlier, we were just chatting and joking; it's not a big deal. I would never dare to disturb someone else's wife, like you did...""Don't speak so carelessly! I never disturbed your wife...""Don't you remember everything that happened between us? Oh, come on, we've made peace and put it all behind us. I don't want to dredge up the past, but you're the one pushing me to say things I shouldn't."Sebastian sighed and rolled his eyes but remained silent, a sign that he agreed with Bill Henderson and didn't want to delve into their complicated history."Just stay the night, Seb.""Why are you so keen on us staying?" Sebastian asked, tightening his embrace. He even rested his chin on Tera's h
Sebastian collapsed, spent, after an intense release that consumed all his energy. It was one of the most powerful releases they had ever shared, whether it was the fact that they had engaged in it in a corner of the Lim backyard or the night air that had made it so intense. One thing was clear: Sebastian felt rushed because he was worried that the night guards would catch them if they patrolled the backyard.They fell into a prolonged silence. The atmosphere in the backyard was surrounded by tall vegetation, creating a serene and quiet ambiance. Only the sound of crickets could be heard, chirping back and forth.Tera and Sebastian lay powerless on the wooden surface of the gazebo. This gazebo was different from the previous one, with only a wooden surface covered by cushions and pillows. It was the relaxation spot recommended by Bill Henderson. As Sebastian became increasingly unstoppable, and Jane suggested that the Lim couple head to the back gazebo, concealed by plant walls to ens
"Mommy!" Nora called out after just having a bath with Jane.The little girl was wrapped in a towel a bit too big for her. Nora smiled, her face glowing with happiness."Mommy, Yaya's bathroom has lots of swimming ducks! They're so cute! There are so many! Yaya said, Uncle Bill got them for Nola. We can take them home!""Really? Bathing and playing with swimming ducks must be so much fun! Say thank you to Uncle and Auntie?""Thank you, Uncle! Thank you, Auntie Yaya!"Bill Henderson , who had just come out of his wardrobe, approached Nora, patting the top of the little girl's head."Anytime, darling," Bill said, bending down. "How did it feel, having Auntie Yaya and Uncle put you to bed?""It was so much fun! I loved playing games with Auntie Yaya and Uncle.""Would you like to play again with us when you visit Jakarta?""Of course! I will! I want to play flying bird with Uncle and Auntie Yaya!""Yes!" exclaimed Bill. "Seb, get ready, every time we're in Jakarta, this little one has to
Once again, Sebastian acted impulsively. He snatched Tera's phone because she sent a selfie to someone named Brandon. Sebastian's impulsive reactions never failed to trigger his emotions and frustration.Tera rested her chin on the armrest of the seat they occupied on their way back to Singapore after spending the end of the year in Indonesia. Tera's body was exhausted from the travel marathon they had gone through: a flight from Singapore to Switzerland, Switzerland to Indonesia, and even some city-hopping while in Indonesia, not to mention a night sailing on a yacht.Tera longed for the comfort of her home and a peaceful night's sleep without changing cities or countries. She needed full rest and didn't want to worry about her phone that her husband had taken. Besides, Tora seemed to be doing well.Her younger sister appeared fresh and healthy. It looked like Tora had become a gym enthusiast, turning excess fat into emerging muscles. Tora had become even cooler than before. So Tera
"I'm sorry, Tera. I don't want to hurt you..." Sebastian whispered after reaching a climax that satisfied him.Tera, who was struggling beneath him, remained silent, her eyes closed. Sebastian had achieved what he wanted. He had reached his satisfaction, and their thirst was quenched. They almost forgot why their argument had happened in the first place, even wondering why Sebastian had become so angry as to punish Tera with such intense and heavy sex.Tera didn't care about her husband's apology; he was still the same. He always vented his emotions from their disputes through such rough means. Even though Tera had been in pain and had begged him to stop, Sebastian continued to increase the intensity.Sebastian caressed Tera's stomach, his body shifted downward and stopped when his face was level with her belly."Please grow, baby, grow inside Mommy's womb. So Mommy stops thinking about all this nonsense and focuses on taking care of you, big sister Nora, and Daddy."Sebastian kissed
"Mommy! Look! That's a butterfly!"Nora ran here and there, chasing the butterflies fluttering in the Lim family's flower garden. The little girl spent the cool and peaceful afternoon playing with her dolls on a picnic blanket spread out on the grass. Nora's focus on dressing her dolls was diverted when several beautiful butterflies landed around her."Yes, darling, you can play and chase them, but don't catch them," Tera instructed."Yes, Mommy! I won't hold and trap it!""Good girl!"A free smile graced Tera's lips as she watched her delighted daughter running around. Nora was adorable in moments like these, with no crying or tantrums, just laughter and happiness.Tera felt like she was living in a dream. Her life had become like a fairytale with a happy ending. The story of the Prince and Princess who confessed their love for each other, kissed, and lived happily ever after. Was this really her life?Had she achieved the perfect family and life that many women dream of?Marrying a h
Tera carried her daughter into the car. Today, they had an appointment with the obstetrician that Sebastian had arranged. They were checking their reproductive health in the hopes of having a child. Mrs. Lim had been trying to reach them for the past two hours, but no one answered her messages or calls. Even Wilson, who was usually very responsive, hadn't answered Tera."Have you been able to reach Da Lao Ban?" Tera asked the driver up front."No, Madam. I couldn't reach Mr. Lim, Wilson, or any of the security personnel. The last I heard, they had a flight from Malaysia at noon.""Oh, so they probably haven't landed yet. What is Sebastian doing in Malaysia? He's been going there quite frequently. Is he opening a new business or something?""Yes, I heard that there's a new project in Malaysia, so Da Lao Ban has been visiting there frequently. I saw the rolling schedule of the Lim family security personnel, and it mentions that Mr. Lim is collaborating with a Malaysian coal tycoon.""Oh
Sebastian hugged Tera from behind while she prepared coffee for her husband. However, the Tera who usually greeted Sebastian with a smile and warm greetings was silent, immersed in her thoughts.He noticed the change in Tera since the previous day. She had turned down all of Sebastian's dinner offers, from casual dinners to the most romantic ones. She insisted on staying home to rest.Indeed, as soon as they got home, Tera had taken Nora to the little girl's room, and she had even refused to let Sebastian take Nora from her arms. Tera insisted on carrying Nora and laying her on the bed with her own hands.After putting Nora to sleep, Tera immediately retreated to her private room, quickly showered, and then went downstairs to spend time in the gazebo. When Sebastian tried to approach her, Tera avoided him, and she even slept in Nora's room all night.Something was clearly troubling her, something that Sebastian was sure wouldn't be understood through explanation. He couldn't imagine t
