Allison's POV As I stepped into the elevator, my phone vibrated in my bag with an incoming call. Fishing out my phone, a smile creased my lips when I saw Max displayed as the caller ID. Answering the call, I placed it to my ear. “Hey.” “Hi, petal. How are you doing? How's work?” He asked. “I hope you aren't missing me too much.” “You wish,” I huffed, unable to conceal my grin. “You are still in Texas?” “Yes, I'll soon be done with the conference. And after that, I'm boarding the fastest flight back home to you.” Max replied, and for some reason, my heart sank, instead of flutter. Ignoring the feeling, I feigned eagerness. “Is that so? I will be expecting you then.” “Should I take it that you've finally agreed to come visit me at my place?” Max asked. I was about to respond when the elevator screeched to a halt and the doors slid open. I almost choked on air when Leo walked in, his musky masculine scent pervading my nostrils and rendering me powerless to his suave charm. He g
Allison’s POV Burying my head in my hands, I heaved a deep sigh. Two days had passed since Aiden suddenly slumped and became comatose.Earlier today, Doctor Clayton had also informed me that he had to be operated on before the end of tomorrow or else she'd be forced to discharge him, which would be the worst.Where in the world was I supposed to take him?I nearly jumped out of my skin when a warm hand laid on my shoulder. “It's me, Tasha,” My best friend uttered, and only then did my trepidation dissipate.In the last forty eight hours, I had only eaten once, and that was because Tasha has threatened to force-feed me, after I almost fainted of exhaustion.Although I knew I needed food to survive, I just couldn't bring myself to eat. Not when my baby was currently fighting for his life all alone in the ICU.Not when I had no idea how or where I was supposed to get three million before tomorrow ended.Fuck, I was truly done for.Just then a thought wafted into my mind, and I found my
Allison's POV “Hi, baby,” I whispered, as Aiden winked an eye open, breath ragged and croaked.Caressing his face, I smiled at him. “How are you feeling, my love?”The heart transplant surgery had been carried out on him yesterday, and he was only just regaining his consciousness.Aiden opened his mouth but nothing came out as he gazed at me.“Rest, baby. You can talk to me later,” I said, properly covering him with his blanket. “Thanks for living for mummy.”In response, he gave me a faint smile before drifting back to sleep, the web of machines that was connected to him, beeping at a uniformed pace.A knock came on the door then. “Come in.” I said, presuming it was either the doctor or Tasha.To my utter surprise and annoyance, Leo strutted in, hands pocketed, and a smile plastered to his face. “Why are you here?” I asked, throwing him a nasty glare. “What do you want?”“I want to see our son.” Leo replied, looking over my at Aiden's sleeping form.“My son, Leo. Correct yourself,”
Allison's POV “Good morning, mummy,” Aiden greeted as he sauntered down the stairs, into the kitchen, a wide grin plastered to his face.Returning his smile, I walked up to him, crouched to his height and pressed a kiss to his forehead. “Morning, my love. Did you sleep well?”He nodded happily. “Yes, mummy. There were no evil monsters under my bed.”“That's great,” I ruffled his hair. “SpongeBob will soon start playing on the TV, go and watch it while I make breakfast, alright?”“But I want to stay in the kitchen with mummy,” He pouted, looking down at his feet.My heart did a thing, and I sighed. “And mummy really appreciates your kind gesture but she wants you to go and watch cartoons, okay?”“You sure, mummy?”“One thousand percent, baby.”“Okay,” He grinned, revealing his empty front gums, which made him look like an adorable little old man.Aiden had lost his baby teeth two days ago and had full on cried for an hour after I discarded it. I had to placate him with some ice cream
Leo's POV“I'm telling you, man,” I said into the phone. “So much has happened within two weeks.”“And you didn't even bother to tell me, huh? Is that good?” Liam's tone was accusatory.I had just finished telling him about how Allison and I had a son, who just underwent a heart transplant.Although something gnawed at my heart from time to time, pestering me to tell my parents about Allison and Aiden but for some reason, I didn't feel like it was time.Right now, the most important thing to me was getting in Allison's good books and making things right between us. I needed Allison to be fully mine before I took such a great step.“I wasn't exactly in a clear headspace to share it with you but now, things seem to be slightly better and there's hope,” I responded. “How's everything?”“Everything is fine,” He replied. “I have a meeting in five minutes, so I have to go now.”“Alright, man. We will talk whenever.”“Sure.” Liam said then hung up.Yesterday, I had painstakingly ordered some
Leo’s POV I was genuinely surprised albeit in a good way when Allison didn't pull back or push me away when I kissed her. Instead, she clung onto my arms and pushed herself on her toes as a moan escaped her.Taking that as a greenlight, I deepened the kiss and let my hands linger dangerously away from her back to grip her small waist.Whimpering into the kiss, Allison hooked her arms around my neck, eyes fluttered shut as though to inculcate the heavenly feeling of our lips meeting.God, how could I have allowed a gem like this go in the first place?I had truly missed the blissful sensation of her soft, rosy lips against mine as I kissed her to stupor.Her beautiful moans that never failed to send my cock instantly springing erect like a dutiful soldier.Even now, my cock was straining painfully against the fabric of my pants, leaking precum and begging to be set free and pried through the wet folds of Allison's wet pussy.“P-Please, Leo,” Allison stuttered, breaking the kiss, her e
Allison’s POV I was stupid.Even stupid was barely enough to describe how much of a horny idiot I was.How could I open my legs and let Leo finger me into an orgasmic oblivion?Why didn't I stop him the instant he kissed me and tell him off? Why did I just allow it to happen like a rabbit in heat?Fuck, the mere recollection of how I had shamelessly begged him to finger me wafted into my head, and instead of feeling ashamed, I found myself getting wet and aroused by the thought.Truly I needed help before it was too late.Hell, it was already too late at this point as I had let him do that.Only the heavens knew what would have happened if his phone hadn't rung at that moment. I would have probably allowed him to fuck me properly.How I wished the darn phone hadn't rung, so I could get a good dicking down.“You've gone mad, Allie,” I told myself as I steered my car into the parking lot of my apartment complex. “Very fucking mad.”Aiden was currently at Tasha and David's place as his
Allison's POV “I'm listening, Allison,” Tasha said. “Start talking. I'm all ears.”Inhaling sharply, I clutched my hands together before I began telling her everything–from how Leo and I met and started a situationship to help pay for my mother's medical bills, to how he abruptly ended our situationship because of his marriage, which never took place eventually.“This is the craziest and most surreal story I've heard in a while,” She uttered. “You could use your story to make a fine telenovela because it's so intriguing. So when are you resigning?”“What?” “You heard me or are you not planning to resign?” She asked. “Working for someone you hate must be extremely tiring, and I know you don't want that, right?”“Oh, yeah, right,” I nodded.I had kept the bits of information on how Leo had fingered me into a toe-curling climax to myself because I knew Tasha would flip out and be disappointed at me.“I will help you ask around. Just forward your CV to me, David should know someone.” Sh
ONE YEAR LATERAllison's POV “Dinner is ready,” I announced, bringing out the tray of rotisserie chicken from the oven. “Leo and Aiden, are you done setting the table?”“Yes, baby.”“Yes, mummy.” Father and son replied in unison, as they entered the kitchen.After our wedding, Leo bought a mansion in Canada, and it was there that our little family lived now.He had told me that he decided to make Canada his permanent place of residence because of me. Mu close friends were here, and he didn't want me to be apart from them.Plus, my winery was also here. About a year ago, I finally reisgned from Leo's company and took over running the winery.So far, the experience had been quite exciting and rewarding, albeit challenging sometimes.“Hmm,” Leo closed his eyes and nodded in approval. “It smells so nice in here, my love.”“I eventually made the rotisserie chicken,” I replied, to which Aiden cheered. “with fried rice.”“And I bet it's gonna taste nicer than anything,” Leo said, walking up
Allison's POV “Where are you taking me?” I asked, cuffing my hands around Leo's wrist, as he led me out of the house, with his hands placed on my eyes, obstructing my vision.“It's a surprise, baby.” He said, and I could almost see him grinning mischievously.Three days had passed since our wedding, and in another three days, we were going to leave the country for our honeymoon in Greece.“Here we are,” Leo said, taking his hands off my eyes. “Have a look.”A gasp forced itself out of my throat when I saw a new black Mercedes Benz parked in the driveway, with a white bow taped to the trunk and the headlights.“How do you like it, my love? Is it to your taste?” Leo asked, as I gazed at the car in surprise.“It's perfect,” I whispered, shaking my head in happy disbelief. “I love it.”“I'm glad to hear that, honey,” Leo said, hooking an arm around my waist. “You love the color, right? Or would you like me to get someone to paint it to your desired colour?”“No, I love it like this,” I b
Leo's POV “You have a message,” Liam announced, gesturing to the gift bag he was holding, as he entered the room.Today was D-day. After many years of challenges, trials, and tribulations, Allison was finally going to be my wife just like I had always wanted.I had to pinch myself thrice when I woke up that morning, in order to be sure that I wasn't dreaming and today was really happening.“From who?” I asked, as he handed me the bag.“Allison.”My face softened with a wide grin as I retracted a burgundy velvet box from the bag.“I wonder what this is,” I muttered to myself, as I flipped the box open.My grin widened, to the point where my eyes creased when I saw the contents of the box; it consisted of a golden wristwatch, a pair of golden cufflinks to match with a golden pen.On the three items, my initials–LDS–was intricately inscribed on it.I couldn't help but feel warm and touched by her thoughtful, sentimental gifts, so I decided to forgo my initial choice of cufflinks and wri
Allison's POV“And I'm done,” Ophelia announced, after giving my face a final dab with the beauty blender. “You look ravishing, Allie.”Clasping my hands together to tame my nervous excitement, I breathed out. “So can I open my eyes now?”“Yes, most definitely.”Inhaling sharply, I flapped my eyes open and gasped on seeing my beautiful reflection in the mirror.Ophelia had hearkened my choice and instructions to the very least detail and had done a great job with both my face and hair.My makeup was a natural, dewy look that accentuated and drew more attention to my facial features rather than having a huge slab of foundation pasted on my face while my hair was tossed in a sleek, french bun with a diamond brooch inserted beside it.I looked like a princess who had just stepped out of a fairytale book, and I could barely hide my excitement as I assessed my face, a huge smile plastered to my face.“I look gorgeous,” I said. “You did a wonderful job, Lia, and I don't know if I'm ever gon
Allison's POV As I stepped out of the bathroom after taking a refreshing shower, my phone pinged with an incoming call.On seeing that it was Tasha calling, I smiled before answering the call and pressing the phone to my ear.“Babe, you have to come to the balcony right now,” Tasha started with a tone of urgency. “Something happened.”My heart did a back flip as goosebumps instantly crowded my entire body. “What happened? Is Aiden okay?”“Just come quickly, alright? We are waiting for you.” She said, before hanging up.Swallowing harshly, I flung my phone on the bed before making my way to the closet to grab a casual outfit, while hoping everyone was alright.Fuck, I genuinely hoped nothing bad had happened on the eve of my wedding.That would be a sign of bad luck and I didn't want that. I just wanted to have my happily ever after with Leo, Aiden, and possibly our future children.We were currently lodged in a hotel in Las Vegas, as that was the destination of our wedding.Leo, his
Leo's POV “Stop it, can't you see that Aiden is here?” Allison scolded me, as I slotted my hand beneath her shirt to cup her breasts.The three of us were sitting on a sofabed in the private sitting room of my beach house in Turkey. Three days had passed since I proposed to Allison and we officially became a soon-to-be married couple.The rest of our family were currently at the other side of the beach house. I had designed the building of the beach house in such a way that my little family and I could have our own private time whenever we wanted, without any disturbance.“But his attention is fixated on Mickey mouse. He can't see us.” I argued, sliding my hand in between her legs which earned me a smack on the shoulder followed by a glare.As I made to defend myself yet again, my phone vibrated with a message.Reading through the text message which was sent by my mum, I smiled. “Mum and Dad are going for a walk downtown and they want to take Aiden with them.”“A walk with grandma an
Allison's POV “Baby, you forgot to tie your shoelace properly,” Leo scolded, as we walked out of the garden to have lunch in the balcony.Along with Leo's parents, siblings, sister in law and Aiden, we were currently at Leo's vacation house in Turkey having fun.A week had passed since the twenty seventh wedding anniversary of Leo's parents, and in all honesty, the celebration had yet to end.After the huge party that happened that day, Mr Alessandro and Ma'am Catherine hosted an intimate dinner among thier close family and friends to mark the occasion.Truly, it was good to be wealthy in a classy manner.I had also gotten the opportunity to meet Ma'am Catherine's best friend, Rita, who reminded me so much of an older version of Tasha.Their friendship was really wholesome and cute, and I could only hope Tasha and I turned out like the both of them in the future.As I made to bend down to tie my shoelaces, a quick realization struck me; I was wearing beach slippers and not sneakers o
Allison's POV “Ophelia called just now. They are leaving very soon, so we have to be on our way now.” Leo announced, as I helped Aiden into his shoes.“Alright, we are ready,” I said then averted my gaze to Aiden. “Right, baby?”“Yes, mummy!” He beamed like a Cheshire cat. “We are ready to meet uncle Liam and Aunty Lia.”Today was the twenty-seventh wedding anniversary of Leo's parents, and so, we were currently in America to celebrate the beautiful occasion with them.To me, they were the most adorable couple that I had ever seen and met.They both loved each other so much and Mr Alessandro always seemed to be worshipping the ground his wife stepped on. He looked at her with so much adoration and love and it was just so heartwarming.“Fuck, I can't believe I forgot,” Leo said, moments later as he parked the car in the driveway of the event center. “What did you forget?” I huffed incredulously, to which Leo smiled before pressing a quick, chaste kiss to my lips.“This and I also for
Allison’s POV “You look ravishing, baby,” Leo complimented as he walked into the room, a smirk plastered to his lips as he regarded my body. “Thanks, babe.” I darted him a quick smile before returning my attention to my reflection in the mirror and putting finishing touches to my makeup. I was clad in a figure-hugging lilac dress that stopped past my knees while my feet were slid in a pair of violet heels and my purse was silver. “What do you say we cancel the date and just stay home?” He suggested coming behind me to lock his arm around my waist. “We can always N*****x and chill, my love.” “I'm sorry, horndog but that isn't happening,” I said, then pressed a kiss to the corner of his lips and eased myself out of his hold to grab my purse from the dresser. “By the way, I thought we were meeting at the restaurant. What changed?” “Nothing, I just decided to come pick you and Aiden up.” He shrugged. “And I don't regret changing my mind because I've got a lovely view of your ethereal
