She was in bed still thinking about what Rafael had said, smiling to herself.
Patricia would surely faint once she would fill in all the details of their date. Though he was Chloe’s favorite too but she just did not want to think about it.
Clutching her pillow to her chest, she turned and found Hunter who was there beside her, staring down at her intently. “You seem happy.” He commented.
“Because I am.” She said softly, shrugging her shoulders.
“You are missing him.” It was a statement.
“I think, I am. Is your whole family like this? They all are sweethearts?” He could not suppress his smile.
“Don’t know about them but you are definitely one!” he grinned lazily pinching her nose.
“I am happy that I met Rafael.” She bit her lower lip without realizing.
He propped up on an elbow “Let’s make you happier then.”
“Really
Geena chuckled, when he left the kitchen holding her hand heading to the backyard.Once they reached there, Hunter took her in his arms and held her tightly but she got back shaking her head with a mocked smile, “No need for this pretense, Hunter. Nobody is here.”“Abigail…” he tried to talk to her but she held up her hand.“This fake engagement is…”“Stop it, Abigail.” He said a little sternly.“Why stop, Hunter? … Why should I? Isn’t it fake?” she said between her clenched teeth keeping her voice down. He stayed quiet just assessing her face. “Every decision you make, reaches to me by your receptionist.” She laughed sarcastically, “She knows your whereabouts better than me.”“When I need to vacate my office? When you would fit me in your own place? When your grandparents are coming? When they would postpone the trip?&r
Not before marriage. But after marriage she would ask him for the favor. They would stay friends.Nothing would change.She would tell him that she wanted to gain some experience and who could teach her bed tricks better than Hunter?But more than that she wanted to feel him now. She wanted to touch him. She wanted to be touched by him.She wanted to know how those large hands would feel on her…Oh man!She would talk to him. God knows how she would accomplish that. But she would do that.What would be the use of regretting it later?Even if they would be separated by divorce, she would have good memories of him. Of his body.“Hunter. I don’t how long would it take to sleep beside you in THAT sense. But I have made up my mind. Now I can’t wait to convince you.” She was so much immersed in her thinking that she did not realize that he was calling her.“Abigail. What’s the ma
“Did I do something wrong, Mr. Kevin?” She was somewhat expecting the consequences. But not such harsh ones.“I am sorry, Ms. Chloe Mason. But I got my direct orders from Mr. Hunter.” He rolled the pen under his palm, “I am in no position to question it.”Chloe nodded her head. Though she did try her best but could not help it when a tear rolled on her cheek. She wiped it stubbornly and started signing the papers.Abigail was allowed to sleep with whoever she wanted but once they saw me kissing Rafael Wyatt and they could not digest it?She could not wait to get out of here. She entered here to show her worth to Abigail. But later when Abigail was hired on a higher position, she changed her focus to something else.While staying here she had done her job quite well. But they won’t realize it yet.They would realize it long after she would be gone.So, no regrets.After signing the papers,
“Let’s have coffee together.” She announced when she entered his office. The same office she was sharing with him.Today again she was carrying two cups of coffee which she got made by the hotel staff. But right after she entered, she stopped herself in time. Not because Hunter was not there on his desk but an old man of around sixty five to seventy years of age, was sitting there engrossed in some file with a laptop open in front. The man noticed her and smiled mischievously.He stood up from his seat, “You must be Abigail!”A bit hesitantly, she looked back at the closed door then very slowly moved forward to place the coffee cups in her hands, on the desk. She didn’t know why her palms were sweating profusely.The man had the cutest smile on his wrinkled face. His white hair was done back with style. His height must be 6’1’’ with a straight back. He was wearing a Herringbone pattern shirt with
“Hunter when are we meeting your Granma? I have heard a lot about her from your employees.” Abigail sounded tipsy because of having two shots of tequila. She was going to start her third one when Hunter found her and had to snatch it away from her hand.“Let’s see. We can go to see her at noon. Around lunch hour.” They were dancing slowly with music beats along with other couples. His arms were casually around her shoulders and her hands were resting on his chest. “Something is cooking in your head, Hunter?” then taking her mouth near his ear she whispered, “You know what? We can tell them that we like each other. No need to pamper me every time when people are around.”Looking into her eyes he frowned a little, “Not everything I do is for pretense, Abi.”“Really? Then why we don’t have sex?” she looked into his eyes.
“Ooh! Hunter! It Hurts!”“Sweetheart! Just let it slide more, then it would be all good… I promise!”“I don’t think I would ever be able to walk after this.” Abigail groaned.“Abigail! It was your decision. Remember?” he tried to be stern without succeeding much.“But I never knew it would be a little painful.” She complained“Don’t worry about that I will help you.” He was trying to be helpful as always.“Hunter, please take it out …. And please would you stop moving it any further.” She whimpered in pain, “Ouch.”“Abigail! Sugar! It hurts because you are not used to it.”He said gently while inspecting the sandals on her feet. “By the way, it looks good.” He smiled. “If you think it’s not comfortable enough then we can try something else. But the only problem with
He wished that he could go back and shake her a little to put some sense into her. She was paying him? She thought he was helping her because he wanted her money? Her salaries? Her showroom?All this time when he thought that they were friends, she was thinking of him as some sort of…But then his sensible side got hold of him.He was a businessman. He never took hasty decisions in his life nor he ever became judgmental.Abigail was insecure. Kyle left her when she was least expecting it. But this time she wanted to be more than ready to face the same consequences. She did not want to be caught by surprise.And the only thing which could keep her secure was the sense that she had bought his services. The trauma she had faced had developed some trust issues.This was her mental immune system warning her to be ready. She could never trust anyone so easily. After giving it a lot of time to think he closed his eyes and leaned back.
The doors to the church opened and music started with bridesmaids coming inside. Molly was leading them. Naturally!Abigail was waiting outside the doors for her turn. She had Rafael by her side to give her away. It was Abi’s wish and Rafael accepted it happily.“Abi! Now is the time to run away from the devil.” He said wiggling his brows. “You know you can always count on me.” But instead of answering him, Abi just clutched his arm. Damn! She was nervous.Inside, Hunter was smiling standing there with Ethan beside him. He could feel the joy in the air. The ecstasy!He looked at Granma and Pa sitting in the front row and smiled. Beside them was sitting Geena with Chloe and Kyle. Richard was also there. Geena wanted so badly for Chloe to be a bridesmaid but Chloe did not feel like it. Geena was disappointed but Abi and Molly both were relieved.After a few moments, Abigail made the entrance accompanied by Rafael. There
Hello readers, Thank you for all the love and support you people have been offering me. When I started, Oops, story, I was not expecting more than a hundred readers. Never knew it will be liked this much. Time to say goodbye to Hunter/Abigail and Rafael/Emerald. I don’t think I would go for a sequel. But you never know.

Emerald woke up by stretching herself and turned her head sideways. Rafael was still sleeping like a baby with his mouth partially opened.She could see one or two strands of white hair in his subtle beard and she swore he was becoming more handsome with each passing day.Shifting closer to him, she sniffed that familiar perfume. God! She always acted like a creep when he was around.“I can never get enough of you.” She whispered in his ear making him stir in his sleep.“Harika?” He called her huskily snaking his arm around her na*ked body and pulling her to him.“Interested in a bath?” She asked his sleepy face, smiling slyly to herself.“Really?” This time his eyes opened widely.“Yup!” Kissing his cheek, she jumped out of bed when he held her hand hurriedly, “Let me do it for you, Guzel.”“You do it every Sunday, Askim. Let me do it for today.” She bent down to kiss his forehead but was sprawled on him when he not only made her stumble upon him but also rolled over taking her with
(Thirteen years later)Sixteen years old Sophia took out a rose twig from her bouquet and took it near her nose to sniff it.“Hmm. Heavens!” She closed her eyes in ecstasy.“You like it?” He asked her.“I love it, papa.” She opened her eyes and a smile gleamed on her lips. Her smile resembled a lot like her mom’s. She had taken that smile and black hair from Julia. That was the reason Emerald dyed her hair black many years back.The familiar smile still gave him pain.“Do you miss mom?” She asked him with concern showing in her eyes. The way she used to care about others showed a lot about how she was brought up by an amazing woman and man.“I used to. But now I think I have gotten over her.”“Once I will be eighteen, I am planning to visit her in Turkey.” Her statement made Robert snap up his head.“I don’t think Emerald and Rafael ever stopped you from meeting her. You just need to let them know.”“I know, papa. It’s just something I need to do on my own. Grandma shares her pictures
Sitting in the Levisay private jet, Emerald did not know where they were heading for their honeymoon. She was still dressed in her gown.“I was under the impression that we will be staying in Sapphire Galaxy.”“And why would I do that to my bride?” He asked her, circling her bare back with his finger. They enjoyed the wedding reception like anything.The Booz, the dances, meeting people. Emerald did everything in a daze. Finally, after coming out when it was time to throw back the bouquet they all were surprised when Patricia caught it effortlessly.“Are you missing Sophie?” Rafael got rid of his jacket before pulling her onto his lap, “Because I am.”He did try to convince Hunter to take Sophie with them. However, Hunter wanted them to spend this time together.They both deserved it. Their love deserved it.She did not know when she fell asleep in his arms. But when her eyes opened, she was in the furnished bedroom of the jet, lying peacefully in his arms.He was awake and staring at
“Oh, Gosh! Emerald! Wake up. It’s your wedding day.” Emerald had a pillow on her face when she heard Abi’s voice. “What? It’s already morning?” She asked herself and moved the pillow away from her face. “Look at you. The girl who had insomnia can now sleep nonstop.” Emerald got up yawning. Abigail was constantly talking without taking a break, “Come on, Em. Rise and shine.” She drew the curtains, allowing the room to bathe in sunlight. “Go and take shower. I will send a protein packed breakfast to the room. After that, you are supposed to wear your undergarments and petticoat. And yes…” Abigail was already stepping out, “Don’t forget to put on those bandelettes.” She winked before closing the door behind her. Emerald let out a panicked sigh and ran to the bathroom. Last night she stayed in the guest room of her house. Selina was already taking care of Sophie. After applying scented lotion all over her body, she came out in a bathing gown. it seemed like Abigail was waiting for her
“Mommy! You will marry daddy tomorrow?” She was changing Sophie’s dress into a sleeping suit when she asked the query with those innocent eyes on her face.“Yes, honey bun. We are.” She started brushing her daughter’s long black hair into a loose braid, “Are you happy?”“Happy of wedding? With daddy? Yes, mommy, I am.” She was too engrossed in brushing her barbie’s golden hair.“Mommy?”“Yes, honey bun?”“Would you love me after marry daddy?” Sophia was so busy with her doll’s hair that even she did not know the absurdity of her question.Emerald felt like someone had clenched her heart. Her daughter had started thinking along these lines. Was she getting insecure? Possessive?“Sophie? My baby!” She gently took the doll from her hands, “Look here, darling.” She held her small face in her hands, “You will always be my baby. You will always be my first love. And you know what?” She asked looking into the innocent eyes of her daughter,“Daddy loves you so much. He is always talking about
“Wake up, baby! Wake up!” She splashed water droplets on his closed lids. His lips stretched into a smile. He raised his arm to look for her in the air with his eyes still closed. She got back with a burst of half-suppressed laughter.“Come here!” His voice was still raspy due to the sleepiness, his hand still hanging in mid-air. Looking for her! She realized. “Get up. I am making breakfast for both of us!” telling him softly she went out of the room feeling all emotional. The way his hand wanted her was something too sweet to handle. When he came out all fresh and showered, she was placing the plates on the counter along with steaming coffee mugs. “Breakfast is ready and you need to…” She stopped when she saw him leaning against the counter in only a pair of shorts. His body was still glistening due to the shower he just took. Woah! The man let her do all those amazing things to his body last night and still, her insides were throbbing with his mere presence. “Still want to de
When Abigail and Hunter got inside the kitchen, they stopped short when found Emerald stirring something in a big bowl.“What are you doing?” Hunter picked up a carrot and started chomping on it.“I was thinking to help Abigail with the dinner.” She said busily, “How about I do a sweet dish and you can go with one main course dish. Or if you want I can …Oops!” She squealed when Hunter lifted her up as if she weighed like a feather and placed her away. “Brides are not allowed in the kitchen!” Hunter took the bowl from the counter and started whipping it.“He is right.” Abigail took out an apron from the drawer and threw another one towards her husband, “We will manage tonight’s dinner.”“I just wanted to help!” Emerald tried to protest.“I will ask Selina if needed. Now shoo away.” Abigail gave a little shove on her shoulder and started taking out veggies from the refrigerator.“You are still here, girl!” Hunter wiggled his brows, “Go get a massage. Spend some time away from this noi
When her flight landed in San Francisco, Patricia looked out of the window while stretching herself. Her favorite, warm and sunny San Francisco. The same one which she left last time in rage. And in pain. In that annual dinner, Rafael Wyatt did not even try to steal a glance her way. He seemed so uptight sitting there with Hunter and Abigail at the party. No matter how many times Abi tried to introduce them or tried to talk to him about their common interests he did not even budge. But he was a changed man on the screen when Emerald went to him at his movie celebration party and talked to him. He had this se*xy smile on his lips when he pulled her on the stage. Emerald must be hardly one year younger than her but her parents never treated her well. There was some old siblings’ rivalry with Cassandra but her parents always supported Cassie. Patricia loved her energy. After collecting her luggage, Patricia was pushing the trolley to the exit, observing different people at the airpo
