AUBREY"Daddy! Is she awake now?" Purity attacked Cole with the question on everyone's lips while I just sat there on the bed, waiting for him to tell her that he did not know… like he had told me.Instead, he replied, "She is fine, princess. She would definitely be all healed up in no time, please do not think too much about it."He held her tight in his arms as she hugged him but his eyes stayed on mine. I knew he had just said that to stop Purity from worrying too much.I was sick with worry though, and I was sure that he saw it evidently in my eyes. "Babe." He called out to me with the new nickname he had recently developed for me, and I reluctantly stood up and strode towards them.He took my hand and squeezed in what seemed like reassurance before we headed outside of the room.Cole got into the driver's seat of his latest Mercedes and Purity ran to the front seat beside him as usual, leaving me behind. I accepted my fate and decided to stay there, even if Cole tried to ask me
COLEAubrey was not hiding from me.I could tell she was scared but she was not ignoring me or throwing tantrums to add to the problems at hand. Currently, I was trying my hardest to get Purity to sleep so I could have her all to myself. She recently complained that I was 'brutalizing' her fragile body, but only if she knew that I was just getting started with her.I was Purity's assigned room now, reading her stories and even offering to sing her lullabies, as far as it would get her to sleep. It seemed like she just loved listening to my voice, not like she planned to sleep anytime soon."Princess, it's way past your bedtime. If your mother finds out I am still in your room, she would wrong my neck. I have to leave now, okay? You have to go to bed." I coaxed and she pouted, a method that had worked everytime but I had to be immune this time, so I straightened and started to get up."Goodnight, daddy." She said in a sad voice, and I concealed a smile that was threatening to come out
AUBREYHe chuckled against my ear, his laugh deep and throaty."You should know how much I like it rough by now." He responded to me, taking the remote off my hand in a fluid go.I swallowed, trying to school my breathing and also reminding myself that I needed to stop acting like a prude when I was with him.I mean, we had fucked probably 100+ times by now. In every position.However, even the thought of that brought color to my cheeks, and I had to try to think about other stuff that would make me less turned on."Your tits are more beautiful. Let me see them." He spoke against my ear, impossibly close to me now. I looked up at the screen at that and bit my bottom lip in slight embarrassment on seeing what was showing.In the movie, the guy—Logan, literally had a whole toy in his mouth, sucking on it like his life depended on it."Not sure if my mouth can contain your big tits, but I am willing to give it a try." He coaxed some more, and God, I was so close to giving in.My only co
AUBREYI slept in Cole's bed and he did not touch me like he had promised, though we held each other all night like we were glued to each other.We were still snuggled up to each other when I heard a loud, "Morning, mommy and daddy!"I was about to jerk out of the bed, but Cole had me pinned with a strong arm around my waist. I turned my face to him and he had a lazy smirk on his face as he stared at me before turning to Purity's direction.I turned to face her too, swallowing as I awaited her judgement. I was a bit stunned ft to see a wide smile on her face as she watched us. "Good morning, princess. How did you sleep?" Cole asked and she skipped to him, the smile never leaving her face. I looked at Cole now, a silent plea on my face for him to let me go and he did, after a slight chuckle."Good, daddy! Are you and mommy friends now?" She swiftly asked.Cole answered, "More than friends. Your mommy and I are very good to each other now. She does not hate me as much now."I did not s
AUBREYCole tried to be with us. He tried to talk to us, play with us, even crack jokes to us sometimes. Purity was having the best time, it was even better now that we openly flirted and talked before her.At some point, I could not help but feel bad about keeping her away from her father all these while. He kept getting calls, though. Sometimes he would leave the house and come back after hours, but when I would check his outfit and shoes, he would still be looking as clean as ever.I would ask for an explanation on some nights before he tried to initiate sex which I was still trying to refuse, and he would grudgingly explain that he hardly did the dirty work.His men would dismember the culprit they had caught while he watched, they would tear them limb from limb on his orders, and make sure they are still alive to feel all the pain.The night he explained it in that raw manner to me, I turned away from him in bed all night, almost rethinking my decision of sticking with him. God,
COLEI arrived at the hospital, followed closely by Ray who kept muttering prayers behind my back.The cook was being tracked. I had placed a tracker in her body while she was unconscious from drugs. It was the only way we could bring outsiders in.She was not fully an outsider, but still.Guilt clouded my mind as I thought about the fact that Aubrey had warned me about bringing in someone else before this time. I knew that I would never forgive myself if anything happened to my child. I would never be able to."Where is my daughter? Purity Frost. Where is she? What ward?" I asked all at once and the receptionist answered at once, asking a staff to take us there after she finished describing the ward.The place was not a big hospital, not the kind that public figures like us went to, but I understood that she had come here due to emergency. Fuck, I needed my child to be fine, I really, really needed her to."Hello?" I heard Ray speak from behind me as I walked behind the security guar
AUBREYI let Cole wrap his arm around my waist as he lead me out of the hospital. He kept asking if I was okay every now and then, but all I could think of was my daughter. How could I be okay when I had not still seen my daughter?I simply climbed into the car with him and rested my head against his shoulder, not saying anything even as we headed towards the house. Or more specifically, our hideaway.These days, it was almost impossible to stay mad at Cole. Although I knew that I should be, knowing that I had warned him countless times concerning that cook, I just could not really bring myself to be mad at him for long.We drove home in silence, until his phone rang, and he answered, still rubbing my side soothingly."She's awake?" He asked out of the blue and I raised my head so fast that the side of my face collided with his chin and I winced in pain, while he cussed out loud.His hand went to my face at once and he started to rub the affected cheek soothingly."Are you okay, baby?
AUBREY It was a bonding experience.Denise and Sofia finally got to meet, and Sofia kept gushing over Denise's height and beauty."You are so beautiful, girl! I know you have probably been told a number of times, I just thought to let you know again." Sofia said as she rocked Purity in her arms. Though I kept telling her not to carry her, since she still had a bandage on her stomach.She insisted, and now she was cradling her in her arms like it was nothing while Denise sat beside them on the bed. Denise and I kept touching each other every chance we got, it was like we could not believe that we were actually in one room after so long."Thank you so much, Sofia," Denise laughed. "You are gorgeous."Sofia smiled widely and they began to speak on other things while Purity snored on her laps. I excused myself after a while to go make something for the 'visitors', even with how dizzy I felt.When I reached the kitchen, I first held onto the counter, trying to catch my breath from the sma

AUBREYFIVE YEARS LATER…"… over the years, Aubrey Frost has proven to be a force in marketing and business. From one store and a limited range of clothing, to one of the biggest clothing lines in America, scattered across the country, and from what I have heard, the company is set to make waves in other countries as well, anytime soon. Aubrey Frost makes billions of dollars in months, and that is asides what her husband makes from his endless chain of hotels. That family is indeed, one of the most successful, if not the most successful in New York City…" Cole nudged me, taking my attention away from the presenter who had an award to present to me. I sluggishly turned to him, wearing a huge smile of accomplishment on my face. He was grinning as well."Damn, I'm sitting next to a billionaire. Nice to meet you." He joked, outstretching his hand for a handshake. I took his hand and with all seriousness on my face, I said,"Good to meet you too. You are strikingly handsome, I must say. C
AUBREYIt was our wedding.This day was a miracle. Our miracle. I thought back to the incident at the house where I had thought for sure that I had lost Cole for good. I thought it was the end, and that my life was supposed to be that way… miserable and full of disappointments every step of the way.How then did a human who was practically submerged in so much fire escaped with only minor injuries and a breathing problem which only lasted days before it cleared up?How was I walking down the aisle now with Cole's father, who also doubled as my dad—I tried not to ponder much on that, by the way—I was walking down, ready to be handed over to Cole Frost as his wife.Yes, Luke had come to apologize, Elsa too. They had asked for forgiveness and wanted to be a part of our wedding. Cole had not wanted to forgive them, he sent them away from his office so they came to the house and begged me themselves, and I forgave them. I could not help but cry with Elsa as she cried, and I felt it when sh
COLEThe first video began to play on the screen and Dante loosened his tie, watching me all through.Laila tried to talk over the video and convince everyone that they should not be watching it, but everyone had all their attention on what was on the screen already."Oh hell, I hope that isn't who I think it is…" Ferdinand whispered, but it was still very much audible and made Dante's turn in the clip even more dramatic.As soon as he turned and his face was visible, there was collective gasps in the room, even more louder when he slammed the iron against our ex boss's head. Ricardo fell to the ground, lifeless, dead on the spot."What just happened?" It was one of the many murmurs that filled the room. Dante sat there, looking every inch of the Boss he was, even with the threat to his life playing on the screen."Ricardo was being difficult. He was an even bigger thief than I ever would be. I did you all a favour—""One which no one asked for." I reminded him, then instructed Ray to
COLE"Ready?" Ray asked me over the phone, and whilst grinning, I responded,"Ready. Today we take over the syndicate." I announced. He agreed to that, and we were still talking about some things that we would like to put in place when I heard a knock on the door. I ended the call and waited for the person to come in.Aubrey materialized at the entrance, softly closing the door as she entered into my home office. It was dark in here.. not exactly pitch black, but it was pretty dim.I could see her though. I could always see her. Well damn, now I was becoming emotional for no reason."Can I turn on the light, Sir? I want to talk to you." She pleaded. "You do not need to see me to talk to me. Say what you need to say, and leave." I told her, wheeling my chair towards her now."Oh… I, uh.. I woke up with the worst hangover, but… I recalled something… you were standing and uh… you kissed me. I don't think I was dreaming about the kiss because my lips are still sore!" She said all that at
COLELaila asked me to fire Aubrey. Of course, my first instinct was to say no. I had the word on the very tip of my tongue, but I decided to try to be patient. After all, by tomorrow, I would be executing my plan and I would finally get rid of her. I told her I would get rid of Aubrey in two days, as I did not have the time for drama at the moment."I need to prepare my child for the absence of her mother." I told her."Why can't the child go with her mother?" Laila asked in an impatient manner. "Because I want her with me. No child of mine would grow up outside of my territory." I gave her my best line, and it only took a short pause from the other end before she agreed and began to talk about how much pain she was in from the whole beating she received, and I had to beg her to not tell Dante about it first, as I would handle it in two days."Okay, babe. See you when you get back." She told me and I only hummed into the phone before ending the call.I decided to go home earlier to
AUBREY"Mommy, Auntie D said she would be visiting tomorrow." Purity announced with glee but I just frowned."What?" "She said you should call her." She handed the phone over to me, and I dialed Denise's number."You know this is very wrong timing, right?" I asked as soon as she picked up, just to be sure she had heard me when I explained that Cole never let any help bring in visitors if he did not permit it."Ray said you just need to ask him. Take permission and he would let you. I miss you guys so much and I want to come visit, is that too much to ask?" She sounded like she was dying and we were her ticket to another chance at life. The dramatic bitch.The thing was; I did not trust Denise. I did not trust Denise at all. I knew that aside from coming to see us, she had another reason why she was coming here… probably to cause a scene or two. But when I looked at my daughter, I saw the way she was really elated, and so I sighed,"I'll try to ask Cole. But please do not make a move
COLE"Do I always have to repeat the fact that you should watch your tone whenever you want to speak about my wife-to-be?" I asked after a while of being stunned by her revelation.Knowing my woman, she would not just make this accusation out of nowhere. No, she was not like Laila who would make up anything out of spite; it was the reason I was so interested in what she had to say.She rolled her eyes, and I pretended not to see that, just to let her talk, "I… Look, there's a recording, so I do not have to go on and on explaining myself." She pushed her phone into my hand and crossed her arms around her chest, which only caused her breasts to strain against her tank top with the action.She noticed I was looking, but even as her cheeks reddened, she did not drop her arms. Hell, it even looked like her eyes were daring me to do something about her stubbornness.It took a while, but I was finally able to tear my eyes off her and focus on the phone which I was given. The fucking tension
AUBREY"It's yours." Was Cole's cool response, and I almost fainted from the amount of rage that surged through my body at once.Laila had a different reaction to the news, though. She threw herself on Cole for the umpteenth time since she walked through those doors. Her excitement and the way she was rubbing it in by yelling her 'thanks' in his face were enough to make me snap."What the fuck do you mean…" I trailed off, realizing that I was only going to make it worse with that tone, so I amended instead, "You cannot give her the store, with all due respect, Sir."He tilted his head to the side in the usual way he did when he was trying to understand something."And why is that?" He questioned. I responded at once,"What do you mean why is that? I mean, you might have given me the place, but I have worked so hard to get it to where it is today, there is no way I am letting a complete stranger to take over what I have worked so hard to build. How can you even do this?""I do not care
