"Where are we going, Cedric?" I ask curiously. When we returned to the office earlier, Cedric was already waiting for me in Krystal's room. There was clear restlessness evident on his face, for some reason. When I asked, he said he was worried because he didn't see me at lunchtime.
Cedric's response immediately received a solid punch on his shoulder from Krystal. "Mind your own business! You're so nosy."
Cedric just grinned but it still surprised me to hear him say that directly. "It's just that, Sis. I was just worried that Anya might get tired. That's all."
I saw Krystal roll her eyes. "I won't overdo it, Cedric. You're exaggerating."
"Cedric, you're going too far. I'm not tired at all." I can't let Cedric accuse us of doing something that could endanger the baby. Why is he being so annoying?
Cedric lets out a sigh, looking at me with a resigned expression. "Fine, okay. I was wrong." Then he sits down next to me. He quickly cuts off our eye conta
"Cedric, I'm serious." This time I whine. I don't care if he thinks I'm being childish or anything. Since I asked, Cedric has only responded with a smirk or occasionally touching my chin. It's so annoying! The discussion between Henry and Cedric about the new system doesn't take long. It involves extra funding because it turned out to be beyond the previously agreed estimate when Kelvin and Sarman were still here.Speaking of Kelvin, he isn't involved with Sarman at all. He's doing well and glowing like his face. Seriously. He got a new job with a promotion to a higher level. Maybe it's his family background that paved his career path so smoothly. As for that semi-oriental guy, I have no idea how he's doing. He sometimes sends messages, but I don't bother replying. Why bother? I'm already busy with my own stuff, you know."Are you serious about marrying me?"I shoot him a sharp look."Oh, come on, Joice. Seriously! You're scarier than Krystal.""Yo
"Anya really needs to be displayed in a museum, Nao."Naomi nodded enthusiastically, quickly devouring the fruit pudding that accompanied us. "If I knew, I wouldn't have bothered coming here," Naomi said with her mouth still half full."To think that a super romantic proposal ended up like this. Is he clueless or what?"I pouted. As usual, Dona always caught us being affectionate. I thought there wouldn't be many people inside the building, but turns out... ugh... so embarrassing. I mean, yes, I knew Cedric wanted to propose to me, trying to be all romantic, but it failed. I could clearly see it. What I didn't prepare for was that Cedric's proposal would be witnessed by our closest friends and even his parents, Krystal, and oh, Anna was there too. It seems like she can now blend in with my two best friends. Even though I still see a hint of awkwardness on her face. Maybe she's not used to our way of communication. Yeah, right. Dona, the reincarnation of the God
I don't know where time went. It passed by so quickly that I didn't even realize it. Maybe it's because I've been so busy and haven't had enough breaks, except for my limited rest time, you know?Suddenly, I found myself in a room with quite a few people. Krystal was there, and also Mrs. Iriana—since I got engaged, I'm not allowed to call her "Mrs. Iriana" anymore, just "Mrs." I complied. I sat quietly while someone fiddled with my face, and my dress was being straightened, I didn't understand.Krystal said I should just accept it. The problem is, I'm a hundred percent sure that when we become husband and wife, and I descend to the venue where the wedding party is held, I'll be surprised. Seriously. I've prepared myself not to get angry or show a sulky face.First, Krystal got involved. Even though she said the invitations were only sent to 150 people, including important colleagues for Blaxton's business, it still couldn't be as simple as I thought, right
I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling the breeze on my face. The night was beautiful, and I could see the star-studded sky with a perfect moon. I remembered that it had been a while since I stood on the balcony like this. My busy schedule made me feel like my bones were about to fall apart one by one.But I liked it. I loved my new activities that demanded so much attention. From the moment I woke up until I went to bed at night, that is if Cedric didn't act all cuddly and ask for more intimate moments."Joice, it's quite cold out here. You might get sick later."I turned and found Cedric, my husband, walking towards me. He then wrapped a thick shawl around me and fixed my messy hair. Oh, did I forget to mention? This was another one of his hobbies; fixing my hair."Daydreaming again, huh?"I smirked. "You think you know everything.""It's usually like that. Daydreaming."I playfully pinched his flat stomach, and Cedric winced. "Hey,
Cedric POVI really hate it when Krystal gets pushy. It's like there's no other day for her! Walking around in Washington DC after lunch is just insane! Not to mention, my phone keeps ringing non-stop. Glancing at it, her name keeps popping up again and again. She's so idle, isn't she? Plus, it's so unusual for her to ask for help, usually, she always handles her problems herself.In less than thirty minutes, I arrived at the café near her office. I parked in a hurry and rushed to meet Krystal. As soon as I got there, I could clearly see her sitting at one of the café tables facing her laptop. Krystal's choice of table is always quite noticeable.I think Krystal's whole world revolves around work. I actually feel sorry for her, but what can I do? She likes it that way. I can't stop her at all. Or maybe it's because of something that, well... I can't bring myself to say. I'm afraid it would make her even sadder.Just when I w
Oh, damn!Why is she here again? Oh my gosh, she looks so sexy! I swear, she was dressed appropriately at the office earlier! If I recall correctly, she was wearing a black blazer with long pants. But now? Wow!A black dress barely covering her thighs with an open back. Not to mention that incredibly low neckline. Her chest... looks so perfectly shaped! I look around, and she's alone. It's been a year since she started working with Krystal, focusing solely on the finance department, but I never suspected they could be so wicked. You can't catch someone like Anya so easily.She has two close friends always around her. They're never far and always following her every move.As I expected, not only is she hard to approach, but Anya also has very high standards for her life. I don't know why, but she's somewhat similar to Krystal. She likes things organized. No room for imperfections, even the sweetness level of her tea must be perfect. I've been reprimanded b
But behind her complaints, I can hear clearly that Anya admires Krystal greatly. It's like, after being teased by Krystal, Anya is praised. She even admits that Krystal is her role model. I just listen attentively.It didn't take long, and I arrived at her apartment's parking lot. Don't ask me how I know. I followed Anya home once before. Well, maybe I had some free time. But I was just curious about where she lived.As soon as I glanced, I already suspected that my job was not just driving her. I had to accompany her to her unit because she was in no condition to do it on her own. She kept rambling incoherently and walking unsteadily.And my choice was right. I didn't take advantage of the situation. I genuinely helped her. I don't want anything bad to happen to the girl I'm interested in. Right now, I'm closing myself off. There are more urgent matters to attend to than my feelings. I admit, she's caught my attention all this time.She doesn't make a fu
I am a lover of gentleness and caution. I don't like rushing or hurrying things. I always want to leave a profound impression, through whatever I can give. For example... a touch. Just like now.On her soft bed, a real Anya, who occupies a corner of my heart that I can approach just a little bit, lies there. Breathing heavily, her impatient eyes eagerly meet mine. Her sexy black dress is now abandoned on the floor. I left her with only a black lace bra and a thin sheet covering the area between her legs.No words can express how beautiful, sexy, and smooth her body is, which I now eagerly gaze upon. I record every inch of what I see, so that it will fill my memories, getting to know the most intimate things about Anya Joice.Clearly, there are red marks I left all over her body, especially on her chest. I wonder how her face will look when she wakes up and realizes. Her gaze is enough to make me flustered. As all the buttons on my shirt successfully came undone,
I was just about to be hit by a pleasurable wave. A wave I had been waiting for and was sure would be amazing, even though it was just using his hands and tongue. But I admit, Cedric really had a knack for rendering me powerless with just those two parts of his body. What if he entered me with his manhood?No words could describe the ecstasy that was building."Waiting for something?"My breaths were slightly ragged; my face was probably already flushed with passion. Given what I was experiencing in this state of anticipation, I spoke with a pleading tone. "I'm waiting for you to enter me, honey."Through the corner of my eye, I saw Cedric smirk ever so slightly. "So, this is what you get, honey."The sheets I lay on were utterly messed up. My hands clenched again, especially when Cedric's manhood pushed into my womanhood. I couldn't tell if I was too tight or if Cedric was just getting larger.It felt full and tight."H
Slowly but surely, I play with Cedric's penis. Creating wet traces there. Repeatedly. Moving like a child who's given their favorite lollipop. Several times, I also suck on the tip of Cedric's manhood.Feeling how Cedric's taste fills my mouth. The first time I did this, it felt strange. But as time goes on, I've become addicted. Sometimes, I intentionally make Cedric release himself in my mouth.Because I know... our second session is going to be way wilder than the first. That's also why I want to experience it again."Oh, Joice! You're getting really skilled at sucking, babe." Cedric starts to get restless; I can tell. Occasionally, his hand strokes my cheek, sometimes reaching for my hair and holding it in a grip. I think he also doesn't want our activity to be disrupted by my hair. With his other hand, Cedric squeezes my breast, though I can't really feel the squeeze.I guess it's because Cedric is more focused on the core of his body that I'm curren
"Instead of feeling your kiss without being allowed to kiss back, how about using your mouth to unbutton my shirt?" he suggests, and I quickly nod in agreement. Cedric slightly shifts his sitting position to get more comfortable. Then, he resigns himself to what I'm about to do.One by one, I undo the buttons of his black shirt. Just as he asked; using my mouth. I also use my fingertips to gently graze his skin with a deliberate rhythm. On purpose. It's not just him who knows how to raise body temperature with passion. I can do it too.And I won't waste this ability of mine to please him. They say that making your husband happy is one of the things that adds to the joy of married life. Besides, after our lovemaking session later, Cedric won't stop praising me. Who wouldn't be happy to be praised by their own husband?As soon as his shirt buttons are all undone, Cedric's body shape remains unchanged. I guess my husband really takes care of himself with a lot of w
Putting on a soft perfume around the nape of my neck is the final part of my preparation to welcome Cedric. I glance at the clock – it's been ten minutes since he went to the kids' room. Such a fleeting moment to get myself ready. The click of the door makes me stop what I'm doing at the vanity table. I grab the kimono-shaped pajama I casually hung up to greet him.When we come face to face, Cedric looks at me with a furrowed brow."Why... are you in your pajamas? Didn't you check the gift I left for you earlier?"I smile and close the distance between us. I made sure to lock the bedroom door, just in case Zain suddenly opens it or Zennita walks in without permission.I still remember what happened a few years ago when Cedric was right on top of me, but I quickly pushed him away because Zain was at the door. He asked, "What's Papa doing in there?"Since that day, the door hasn't escaped my attention. Even though they've grown up
Having two kids is fun. I believe that. Especially when you have a partner like Cedric, who's always ready and available whenever I need him. Though I can't deny, the fear before childbirth stressed me out big time. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to open my eyes and greet Zain and Cedric anymore. Also, my other family members: Krystal, Dona, Naomi, and my little brother Jacob.Our relationship is getting better and, well... the past is truly behind us. Even if I wanted to bring it up, there's nothing I can do now except accept it. Sometimes, with Cedric by my side, I visit Mother's grave. The nagging questions in my heart about why she left me when I was a child have lessened."Mommy!"I close my eyes briefly. The voice of Zennita, my youngest daughter, fills the kitchen. Her face is flushed with annoyance. Clearly, Zain is right behind her, chasing her with a superhero mask on. Zennita is now 5 years old – an age that demands a lot of my energy to keep u
a few years later"Hey, Champ. What are you up to?"My movement playing Mario Bros paused. I looked up briefly and saw a man in a black shirt. He looked well-dressed and quite classy. Who is he?"Playing a game, sir."He chuckled. Confusing me. Was something wrong?"Do I look like a 'sir' to you?"I grinned and blushed a bit. "Not really.""Well, don't call me 'sir' then. I'm too old for that."We both ended up laughing. He seemed like a nice and friendly person. I was still in my gray school uniform, suddenly feeling quite impressed. Who was he?"You must be Andrew, right?"Oh... I became cautious. Did he know me? Where from? I felt like I had never met this man before. It couldn't be that at my age I was getting kidnapped, right? Thank goodness Dad had me take self-defense classes. At least I could escape if he suddenly acted suspiciously. But I had to punch his fairly handsome face first."I'm Nelson. Yo
I thoroughly enjoy the attention of my two mothers at home. Mommy and Mami Keira. The house is bustling with activity now. Every weekend, Mommy pays a visit. She cooks together with Mami Keira, although I know they both try to become close to each other. Andrew says Mommy doesn't want to miss an opportunity to accompany her beloved daughter-in-law. On the other hand, Mami Keira adds, "Keep me company, Soffia. Take care of Andrew and Krystal. They're both so busy. I'm all alone."Clearly, this makes my husband even more elated. He says, "There's nothing that brings me more happiness than having both my mother’s here. I love them."Then... which part of my heart doesn't belong to him? I'm reminded of what Grandpa Jordy said that day."One day you'll understand why Grandpa wanted you to be Andrew's partner."Grandpa was right. He was a good man. Very good, actually. How respectful he was toward the two women often present in the house. He held them in
I don't know why I'm going through my days with such enthusiasm. Despite the doctor's frequent warnings for me to be more careful. To me, it seems exaggerated. All the meetings and encounters with new business partners, all sabotaged by Cedric without exception. I'm truly fine with that, and I'm only learning how my brother reaches a consensus.Truly, Cedric is the one who should be in control of BlaxtonExpress.Three months have passed since that incident. Several times, I've accompanied Andrew to the intense hearings because Phillip won't give up easily. He's put in every effort, which is dragging Daddy Jackson further into it. My husband predicted this. Entrapping Phillip wasn't merely about presenting evidence, but also about strategy.Andrew is clever at fending off Phillip's arguments and promptly presenting the additional evidence demanded until the older man loses. Truly loses. Daddy Jackson, on the other hand, never complicates the course of the trial.
It's been three days, and Andrew still hasn't opened his eyes. In contrast, Jacob has regained consciousness and is already in the recovery phase. He mentioned that he doesn't like lying down for too long, even though Jacob's condition is just as concerning. Two bullets lodged in his body. I can't express enough how grateful we are or how real the power of God feels in this situation.Besides his back, the bullets also hit Jacob's shoulder. His body is covered in bandages, there are bruises on his face, but he's already up and about in the hospital. He's doing this not just for me, even though it's unnecessary. Andrew's trusted men are taking turns to watch over him. I earnestly ask Jacob to focus more on his own recovery.And my words are only heard when my brother speaks. Looking defeated, he retreats to his room after expressing his anger and cursing Doni, of course."If that bastard doesn't end up in jail for a long time, I'll personally take care of him, Mr
