**Sexual Content Below. Readers under 18 ARE are not allowed to read this.***********************************************The next evening arrived quickly—it was the night of the dinner party. I managed to pull myself off the couch and began getting ready. Just as I was leaving the bathroom after my shower, Walker walked in, a warm smile on his face. "You smell amazing," he said, wrapping an arm around my waist from behind. His nose nuzzled the crook of my neck, sending a shiver down my spine."I tried a new body wash," I replied, switching on the blow dryer as I stood in front of my vanity table. His lips brushed against my neck. "I like it. You smell amazing." His compliment and gentle kiss made my heart flutter. I blushed, “Thanks.” Walker’s gaze met mine in the mirror as he slid a sleek jewelry box across the vanity table, “ I saw this in a magazine and thought of you,” he said. I looked down at the box and picked it up. I opened it carefully and gasped in awe at the simple yet

Destiny's povLogan parked the car in front of the Grand Hotel. The hotel looked fancy, shining in gold with tall arches and marble columns—like a scene from an old movie. But the chaos outside took away from its beauty. Reporters, photographers, and curious onlookers crowded near the entrance, creating a hectic scene.It felt more like an award show than a birthday party for a seventy-five-year-old man.As we sat there, we faced a wall of flashing cameras. Voices shouted questions at anyone who stepped onto the red carpet. The bright lights were blinding, and the energy was intense—like being in a storm of glitter and noise. I leaned back in my seat, feeling anxious."I'm rethinking this," I said mostly to myself. This scene reminded me of why I used to say no when Walker invited us to these events.Walker, calm and collected, crouched beside me and carefully adjusted my stiletto strap. He took his time, not rushing, as if his calm could balance out the chaos outside. When he finishe

Moonlight slipped through the curtains, illuminating the dark room. Amidst the dimly lit room, soft panting and delicate gasps filled the room.I could feel the tips of his fingers barely touching my skin, but the places he skimmed burned.A sweet heat engulfed my body especially in that place. I bit my lips and looked at my husband. Walker's gaze was flowing with fury. I knew wouldn't get what I wanted. I provoked him tonight, and it had been long since they were physically affectionate. He was going to do it his way. I knew it in my head, but my body wanted him now.Walker leaned closer, our lips almost touching, but he refused to kiss me. Instead, his lips trailed down my neck, past my chest. As he was going lower, his eyes never left mine.My heartbeat quickened to the point where I felt dizzy. But just as he got there, I jolted awake. My heartbeat quickened to the point where I felt dizzy.As I sat on the plane, my breath came in quick gasps, and although my eyes were open, dark

By the time I arrived, dinner was already in full swing. "Destiny, you're late," the elder at the head of the table remarked. I felt the urge to roll my eyes. "I wasn't informed about this dinner plan," I replied and took a seat beside my husband, Walker. The head of the Anderson family was Lady Grace Anderson. She built her empire, Anderson Global Enterprises, from the ground up from a single motel and became a legend in the business world with a chain of malls, restaurants, and hotels, all both domestically and internationally. However, out of the public eye, she was a strict and controlling woman with a constant need to manage the lives of those around her. Her three children were miniature versions of her, though they knew when to hold back. The last layer of this family dynamic consisted of Lady Grace's grandchildren—Walker, his brother, and their cousins. They were the positive aspect of the family lineage. As the maid brought in my dinner, Walker looked at me and asked

Sitting across from Jenna at a cozy bistro, I nursed a cup of coffee as the conversation turned serious. We hadn't seen each other since after I resigned."Des, you've been distant lately," Jenna said gently. "What's going on with you and Walker?"I shrugged, the only response I could muster. "Nothing's going on. We're just living."Jenna's eyes widened. "That sounds...Don't you feel like you're just going through the motions?"I kept my expression impassive, but inside, a storm of emotions swirled. "It's fine. We're comfortable."Jenna's voice took on a hint of frustration. "You don't sound comfortable at all."Gazing away, my thoughts drifted to the past. "Losing the baby... You know it changed everything." Jenna's expression softened. "And Walker? How's he doing?"A familiar numbness settled in. "He's fine, I guess. We don't talk about it."With gentle urgency, Jenna said, "Don't you think that's the problem? You're both stuck in this emotional limbo. It's very sad to watch."For a

Soon we reached the hospital. Because it was still early, there weren't a lot of patients and soon it got our turn. I had my blood drawn and we were told that we would be contacted in a week or two about the results. As soon as we stepped outside, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I couldn't stand the smell of antiseptic or the weight of dread that pressed down on me—remnants of my trauma after losing our first child. We made our way to the car park. "Looks like you followed me here for no reason. I could've come by myself. Now you have to drive back home before going to work," I said."It's fine." I was a little shocked at his somewhat cold response, "..Are you angry?" I asked him. Walker opened the car doors with the remote, "Why? Should I be angry?" He asked back.Answering my question with questions? He was angry. And I could guess why. Back at the red light, after I lied, he became quiet and he didn't say anything while we were in the doctor's office. He rarely got mad and

But it felt more intimate than those other times that felt more awkward. I had been expecting, no, dreaming about this since a month ago, but now that it was happening I didn't know what to do.He drew me closer so our bodies were pressed against each other as his lips moved on mine. He sucked and nipped at my bottom lip. I gave in, and his tongue entered my mouth forcing moans to spill from them. The subtle smell of his shampoo filled my senses, overwhelming me. My arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him even closer than before. Walker groaned as I tugged on his hair roughly. He used to like that a lot and seeing his reaction made me bold. I tugged on his hair some more, loving the way he groaned. He ran his hands all over my body, groping and molding my skin.For a brief moment, he pulled his lips from mine and p

It was a whole new week when I finally got the test results, and just as the pharmacist said, I was pregnant—five weeks along, to be exact.Even though I knew this might be the case, I was still surprised. Like how could I have forgotten about my period or missed the soreness of my breasts? Thank God I decided to stop drinking just in time.A mix of emotions hit me. Excitement and joy coursed through my body, but so did worry and fear.The doctor had warned me that my womb wasn't stable and that I could lose the baby if I wasn't careful.This news would freak Walker out. He'd be worried, and that usually led to him stressing out even more. I didn't want to see him back in that state. Not anymore. So I decided not to tell him. In the car, I first sent Walker a picture of the results, feeling a rush of excitement. The message showed that he read it almost right away, but five minutes later, he still hadn't replied. He was probably busy but he shouldn't have read the message if he cou

I stood by the counter in the grocery store, as the cashier packed my stuff. My mind wandered, ‘Was I too unreasonable cutting the call?’ I thought. “Nah,” I answered my thoughts. I knew that Walker would never cheat on me, but how could he be at the office by this time of the night with the same woman his grandma was trying to force between us?Honestly, that girl wasn't even worth any misunderstanding. I barely even remember her except the times when Walker says he's having a meeting with her, which was rare. With a deep sigh, I carried the two big bags and left the store. The cold evening air blew against my cheek, as soon as I stepped outside. I quickly pulled my hood over my head to keep my head warm. “Why is it so cold?” I complained as I walked across the parking lot. My mind wandered to the grocery list I had left at home and I tried to recall some of the items I had forgotten to buy.Suddenly there was a loud screeching sound from my left. I turned to see a car speeding tow

My heels clicked on the polished floors as I walked into the familiar building of my family's company. Moore's Co. was a source of pride for my parents when they were alive. It was a shame they died so early. I headed to the elevator, the low buzz of activity and quiet conversations surrounded me, creating a comforting vibe that felt like, "Welcome home." The elevator opened on the top floor of the building, and I stepped out. My brother's secretary, Sophie, greeted me with a huge grin. "Destiny! It's been ages!" she exclaimed, pulling me into a hug. Sophie and I grew up in the same neighborhood, and you could say she was my childhood friend. I laughed, "You're looking good, Sophie," I complimented and she did a little spin, "Your brother gives great bonuses," she responded. After a little chat, I asked, "Is he in?" "Oh yes. Just go in, he's probably taking a nap on the couch," she said with an eye roll. I chuckled and went into his office. As soon as I stepped in, I felt nostalgi

WALKERI was jolted awake by Destiny's sudden rush to the bathroom, the third time that morning. The clock read 6:30am. I quickly got out of bed and followed her, concern etched on my face. Destiny was hunched over the toilet, her body wracked with heaves and coughs. I knelt beside her, gently rubbing her back in soothing circles. A week of this had taken its toll on her, and I couldn't help but feel sympathy. When the wave of nausea passed, I helped her to the sink, and then guided her back to our bedroom. Destiny collapsed against the headboard, her eyes sunken with exhaustion.I poured her a glass of water, "Here." She drank a little and sighed, "Sorry for keeping you up," she apologized. I sat beside her and patted her head gently, "Why are you apologizing? I put the baby inside you, so there's no need for all that," I told her and caressed her face. Destiny leaned into my touch and my heart swooned. Ever since that family dinner, I've noticed that Destiny has become less awkwa

Walker "Grandma, what was the meaning of that?" I asked as I stormed into her study. My father, uncle, and aunt were seated on the sofa. "Don't speak to your grandmother like that," my father warned, but Grandma raised her hand, stopping him. She had her glasses on and kept going through the document in front of her. "What do you mean?" she pretended not to know. I clenched my fists, "Why do you dislike Destiny so much? What did she ever do to you?" I asked. Grandma rolled her eyes, "I don't dislike her—" "—You don't?" I cut in, my patience was running out. "Then why would you say something so hurtful to her?!". Did she think she could get away with this one? I must have been a fool for letting go of her behavior towards Destiny. Grandma closed the document and her gaze became icy, " Are you defending her?" she asked. Her question appalled me, "Who else am I supposed to defend?!" My aunt quickly stood up and placed a hand on my shoulder, "Walker, dear, your grandmother is work

The only sounds in the dining room of Anderson's home were the clinking of silverware against the ceramic plates. No one spoke; everyone remained silent. Walker was seething with anger, and the smell of the fish Florentine made it difficult for me to eat. However, I was determined to show the old hag that nothing she did could faze me.Now let's start from earlier this evening, as soon as I walked through the door. My sisters-in-law were all over me, super pumped about my pregnancy. You'd think they were the ones expecting! Even the older in-laws were congratulating us, which surprised me since they'd always treated me like I was the reason for their problems ever since I married Walker. Especially his Aunt Emily, who's the last and only daughter of the chairwoman. My mother-in-law didn't congratulate us. Instead, she stood behind with a strange expression on her face. Adelaine noticed this and asked, "What's wrong Aunt? Aren't you happy? You're finally having another grandchild."El

As I pulled out of the parking lot, Jenna shot me a look with a raised eyebrow. "What do you mean you forgot to talk to him?" she asked, her voice cracking with amusement. I drummed my fingers on the steering wheel, feeling a bit defensive. "He came home wasted, and... stuff happened. I forgot," I said, trying to brush it off. Jenna kept her gaze on me, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Stuff? What kind of stuff?" she pushed, a smirk on her face. I adjusted my shades, feeling my cheeks heat up as last night's memories came rushing back. Jenna raised an eyebrow, disbelief written all over her face. "You guys slept together—" she started. "—we didn't! Well, sort of?" I cut in, my voice trailing off as I struggled to explain. Jenna laughed, her amusement ringing through the car. "Why are you acting all shy about this? You two used to hook up all the time. It's not a big deal," she teased, her eyes gleaming. I pursed my lips, a wave of frustration hitting me. "I know, but it feels

I looked at him, he wasn't looking at me but playing with the foam in the bathtub. I scoffed and asked, "..Miss? Or Missed?" Walker didn't respond and I didn't want him to. I didn't want to know what he meant. It's just drunken bubbles. I went into the shower cubicle to check if the water was okay. "The water is warm now," I told him. Suddenly there were arms around my waist and a body pressed to mine, "What are you doing?" He didn't respond and only held me closer. I could feel everything against my back and it made my heart mad. What does he think he's doing?!I tried to pry his hands off, "..You're wetting my clothes." Water seeped into my clothes. He leaned close to my ear, "Then take them off. Take a shower with me," he slurred. What the fuck?! I shivered, "I-I've already showered." "Then take another one, you're already
