Thank you for reading.
"What did you say?" Adrian couldn't believe his ears. Was Heather asking him out? "I said, let's date. I've been waiting for you to make the first move but you didn't-" "I thought we were dating already. We flirted and we had sex last night. I don't do those things with just anyone," Adrian remarked. "Did I have to say it? I thought it was obvious." "Well... you said we were friends at first. How was I supposed to know you have changed your thoughts about us," Heather pouted. "So, you kiss and have sex with your friends?" Adrian asked and arched an eyebrow. Heat crept up Heather's face. She shook her head, saying, "I don't. I've had feelings for you for a while but you seemed reluctant, so, I kept them to myself." Adrian glanced at Heather. He reached his hand forward and brushed her curly hair away from her face. He said, "I'm sorry. I thought my intentions were clear. I should have been more vocal with my feelings." Looking into her eyes, he declared, "I've loved you sin
Life was peaceful for Roxanne and Henry in the past weeks. Everything was going smoothly for them, be it in their personal or work life. As the days passed by, their marriage grew stronger as they knew more about each other. Of course, like every normal couple, they did disagree on some things but they soon found a way to be on the same page. The twins had grown bigger and were now crawling and making a mess of things in the villa. They were too fast and almost everywhere around the villa as they discovered they could use their arms and knees to explore their surroundings. The nannies had to pay extra attention to make sure they didn't slip or pick up something and put it in their mouth. Roxanne noticed that the villa wasn't ideal for the hyper babies. They needed a safer environment with less risk of a fall. The villa was way high up from the ground. Any mistake and the twins could fall off the first floor. Although the parents and caregivers were being careful, it was better s
Heather Jacobs was trapped inside her apartment. She couldn't go out... Several reporters surrounded her door, blocking her from leaving the place. An hour ago, she received the shock of her life when she realised that she was trending on social media. However, it wasn't something about her work and skills but about her private life. Someone had posted a picture of her and Adrian at the restaurant. Although Adrian had worn a disguise, his fans could still recognise him. From the pictures, it was evident that the two were a couple. Heather glanced at Adrian with a spark that could not be mistaken. It seemed Adrian's men didn't manage to buy off all the pictures that the paparazzi had taken. Somehow, one of the reporters must have kept a secret photo and sold it to the media pages. Everyone would love to be famous but not like this... All that was being said was meant to hurt and demean Heather. Ignoring all the incoming calls, Heather sat on her bed and scrolled her phone with
Heather felt like she was over the moon. From her apartment to the airport, her grand departure was broadcast live on media pages. She felt like a big shot for the first time in her life. The experience was otherworldly. Apparently, Henry Ford had pulled some strings as a favor to his friend, Adrian Carter. When Adrian finished his first game, he found out about the scandal. That was when he called Henry and they made a plan on how to handle the situation. Adrian wanted to fly back and defend his woman but he couldn’t leave his team a player short. So, he did what he could do best. He used his money and influence to fly his woman over to where he was to show the world that she wasn’t just a fling, but the love of his life and the woman he would burn the world for, if she asked. “Roxy, is this really happening?” Heather asked when they got into another limousine upon arrival at the destination airport. They had spent hours flying to the other side of the world in Henry’s privat
"Is it true that Adrian is dating? Perhaps his girlfriend is distracting him. His skills are not like before," the sports commentator remarked. "Oh, my god! How can he let himself be surrounded like that? There's no way he can score that goal. Is this the end of the Adrian era? Perhaps Brentwood City should start looking for a new striker," the sports commentator's colleague added. Seeing Adrian so defenceless made the fans restless. They were worried that their favorite striker would fail to score and equalise the game with their opponents. However, just when everyone thought Adrian could not turn the tide this time, he suddenly dodged an aggressive defender. The sports commentator raised his voice, "It seems we are about to witness Adrian's skills again! He was surrounded by several defenders but they couldn't get the ball from him!" Another defender from the opposing side tried to tackle him but they were too late, Adrian sent the ball flying toward the net with so much fo
"Adrian, I don't think this is a good idea," Heather said, stepping backwards. They were in front of the grand entrance of the Carter mansion. Adrian was finally going to introduce Heather to his parents over dinner. Heather had agreed to meet his parents even though they might face opposition. However, when they got there, she suddenly got cold feet. "I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you," Adrian promised. "Are you sure they said they wanted us to come for dinner?" Heather asked. She recalled her meeting with Adrian's mother and how badly it went. "Yes. Dad called me and asked us to come home for dinner. He said he wanted to meet you," Adrian replied. Adrian's father had called him the day he confirmed their relationship during an interview. At first, he was furious and scolded him for not sticking to his promise. Adrian explained his feelings to his father and asked him to give Heather a chance. "I love her, Dad," Adrian had desperately said. Ultimately, Adrian
"What did you say?" Lewis asked in a serious tone. Heather's heart was beating so loudly that it became deafening to her ears. She glanced at Adrian with a questioning look. Why did he suddenly make such an announcement? When did she get pregnant and how come she didn't know about it? She began to rack through her mind in case there was a time that Adrian released his seed into her when she was unsafe. However, they had been following all necessary precautions to avoid an unplanned pregnancy. 'Could he have done it when I was asleep?' Heather mused. However, she knew that she would have felt it so that wasn't the case. At the same time, Amelia Carter was stunned. For a few seconds, she stared at the couple with wide eyes and her mouth almost touched the floor. "P-pregnant? Y-your child?" She stuttered, her breathing becoming laboured. Adrian answered, "Yes, we are pregnant. It's just a few weeks old. I wanted to keep this a secret but I had no choice but to tell you the ne
“Seriously, where are we going?” Heather asked her friends as they dragged her out of her apartment. She was dressed in a short black leather dress. It was strapless and exposed her smooth shoulders. Her hips and ass popped out as the dress hugged her figure like a second skin. “Why are you all wearing black?” Heather asked, looking at Roxanne and Yolanda’s outfits. Yolanda was in a black jumpsuit while Roxanne wore a sheer black dress. Roxanne’s dress had lace-like material covering her breasts and around her hips till her midthighs. However, the rest of the body could be seen through the sheer material. “We are going to an all-black party,” Roxanne responded. “A certain friend of mine is saying bye to singleness, so, this is a party to send off that single status… My friend is saying RIP to singleness, hence the black colour.” “Is there such a thing?” Heather arched an eyebrow. “Of course, it’s trending on tikt*k,” Yolanda chipped in. “We are going to have so much fun!”

Three years later... Henry Ford woke up very early. It was the month of love and a few days before Valentine's Day. As usual, he wanted to do something special for his wife as he asked her to be his Valentine. They had been married for ten years and he always asked her days before the actual day in a special and romantic way. Since this was about them, he wanted to do everything himself. He filled up some red balloons with air and scattered them around the sitting area downstairs and the dining area. After getting busy in the kitchen, he whipped up some breakfast for Roxanne- heart-shaped pancakes drizzled with syrup and strawberries covered in chocolate. He had seen this recipe from a trending video on t-i-k-t-o-k and thought his wife would love it. He then got the roses he had got for her and put them in a glass vase before placing them on the dining table. When Roxanne woke up and looked for her husband, she woke up to the transformed living room and dining room. She
Five years later… It was a Saturday and the Fords were hosting a family braai for their son, Oliver Ford, to celebrate his new age. Roxanne sighed as she glanced at Oliver who was helping his father, Henry Ford. They stood by the barbeque grill stand, flipping meat, sausages and chicken kebabs. Oliver didn’t want a huge party on his fifteenth birthday… he just wanted to spend time with family. However, Roxanne had invited Claire Hamilton and his other friends, Liam Kent and Jake Norton. They had all grown and were now teenagers. Running around playing tag like the younger kids didn’t interest them at all. Claire and the two boys sat at one of the tables. While Claire was taking pictures of Oliver, his friends were busy playing games on their phones. “Are you impressed with your son and husband?” Heather’s voice snapped Roxanne out of her trance. “They look so cute… I swear, Henry is a great Dad and Oliver adores him,” Roxanne replied, glancing at her husband dreamily as he
Diego and Henry rushed to the mansion in less than twenty minutes as if there was an emergency. Henry looked for his wife when he entered the mansion, yelling, "Roxy? Baby, where are you? Let's go to the hospital!" At the same time, Diego followed after him and called for Yolanda, "Princess, let's go to the hospital. The earlier the better!" They both paused when they found their women in the living area laughing and chatting with Larry Ford and Kenneth Smith. Henry furrowed his eyebrows. He remarked, "I thought you said you're not feeling well. You look fine to me..." Larry Ford glared at his grandson. He scolded him, "Son, if your wife says she's not feeling well, then find out what could be wrong with her first before concluding. Should I teach you everything?" Henry scratched the side of his neck. He tried his best to be a good husband but there were times like this when he had faults. Being human, he was bound to make mistakes or maybe say something wrong. He wasn't perfe
Two months had passed since Yolanda and Diego got married. Although they were happy, Diego had noticed that his wife missed her job. Yolanda was an independent woman who loved working for her own money... Of course, Diego provided for her but he could see that she wasn't used to staying home and shopping only. It would even affect her mood sometimes. Diego thought about a way to have his wife get back to her job. Quite alright, it would be dangerous for her to be in the spotlight with all their rivals targeting them but that was why he was around, right? It was his job to protect Yolanda and ensure her life didn't change just because she fell in love with him. So, before he could bring it up to her, he met with his brother and requested to move back to Brentwood City. Augusto glanced at Diego after he made his request, his brows furrowing as he asked, "What is it? Is this place not up to her standards?" "No... it's not that. I just want her to be happy and if doing her job mak
Yolanda's heart was galloping like a racing horse. Diego's promise echoed in her mind, making her look forward to what he would do to her. She tilted her head up, asking for a kiss and Diego didn't disappoint. He connected his lips to hers and kissed her hard. They began to move towards the bed and Yolanda fumbled with Diego's buttons as she tried to undress him. Meanwhile, Diego was busy deepening the kiss with every second that passed. He grabbed the back of her head while the other hand reached between them and he stroked her core, rubbing her clit with every movement of his fingers. Yolanda moaned against his lips. She failed to get rid of Diego's suit and instead, wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped on him, coiling her legs around his ripped torso. In that position, Diego held Yolanda's ass and began grinding his massive erect shaft into her bare core... Despite it being hidden by the branded pants he had on, Yolanda could still feel the tip of his rod, digging at he
Diego carried Yolanda into the cabin. Yolanda's eyes grew wide as she looked around. If she thought the outer form of the cabin was dreamlike, the inside was like paradise itself. The wooden cabin wasn't big. It was like one big room with a small kitchen in the corner, a huge bed in the center, a bubbling hot tub on the left near one of the windows and a bathroom on the right side. The bathroom area had an enclosure for privacy. Not only did they have several acres of land to themselves, but they were surrounded by maple trees with fiery red leaves which could be seen through the huge windows. The whole place was giving "leave the world behind vibes". It offered a perfect blend of romance, peace and refreshment for the newly married couple. "Are we still in our family's estate?" Yolanda asked and Diego smiled. He loved especially the way she used the word 'our' in her question. Sliding an arm around Yolanda's waist, Diego pulled her closer and then put her at his front bef
Diego Montero realised something. He loved Yolanda with his all. Whether he waited weeks or months to propose, she would still be the woman he would want to spend the rest of his life with. Yes, they didn't know what tomorrow may bring. But who ever knows? Everyone jumps in without knowing the obstacles they will face in the future. If there's anything he learnt from his former boss, Henry Ford. It's that as long as you had your loved one by your side, any other problem felt like a passing breeze. After talking to his brother, Diego asked the housekeepers to help out with the proposal. Of course, the housekeeper who had helped Dahlia was fired. In the Mafia, loyalty was everything. Diego instructed the bodyguards to control the drones he had shipped over earlier before they travelled. Augusto helped too. He stood downstairs near the drones, waiting for midnight so that they could control the drones to help Diego propose. Yolanda woke up and they had dinner outside on the balc
Diego didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at Dahlia and asked, "Why did you come back? If you had stayed hidden, at least I would have had good memories of you... but now... you disgust me." "D-Diego... that's not true. Your brother forced himself on me. That's why I faked my death. I was so ashamed-" "Shut up! Aren't you tired of scheming? Do you think I can believe you over my brother? My brother came from the same womb as I... we may fight and not speak to each other for years, but I know he would never do anything to hurt me," Diego's words sliced through the air like shards of ice, cutting Dahlia's words in the middle. "That's not true... why did you leave? It's because you hated your family!" Dahlia answered confidently. She wasn't convinced that Diego had moved on. He loved her very much and could do anything for her... how could his love for her end so quickly? Diego shook his head. He replied, "I left because I was hurt that they didn't want to avenge yo
