Atasha's POVMy forehead creased while looking at the man in front of me. He is staring at me intently and I felt uncomfortable."I'm sorry Sir, but I don't know you," I responded then smiled at him.Conrad held my hand firmly so I looked at him."Go to your room," he said but I shook my head."I will stay here," I firmly uttered. I saw irritation in his eyes but that didn't scare me at all.Conrad let out a deep breath and then faced the unfamiliar men inside his unit."You may sit," he coldly uttered.The policemen and the man who is looking at me intently sat on the couch while I and Conrad are sitting across from them."You will face charges for illegal shipments of guns and explosives Mr Sawyer," the man straightforwardly uttered but Conrad doesn't seem to be bothered by that."That's all?" he asks with boredom plastered on his face."We have solid evidence that will put you in jail, Mr Sawyer," they added but Conrad simply smiled at him, crossed his legs then leaned his back on
Conrad's POVFear consumed me once again. I thought I am over this trauma but it turns all this time I am pretending and I am just caging that one traumatic experience inside my head.I don't know whom should I call. I can't call my mother because I know she will be heartbroken once she knows that I am still dealing with my traumatic past.I can't call my father because he hates it whenever he sees me as weak. For him, I should be strong all the time because that is how he raised me.I don't have any friends to call as well. Veronica is close to me but she doesn't that part of me and I don't want to show it to her because I can't let other people know my weakness. They might use it against me.While in the middle of thinking one face crossed my mind... Atasha.I don't want them to be gotten in me but it seems like I am slowly trusting her. Before I could even knew it my hands are already dialling her number and after a while, she answered the call.I felt like I don't have control ove
Atasha's POVConrad and my father are walking side by side and my forehead creased when Conrad stepped out of the police station as if he is free from his charges."What happened Dad?" I asked confused."You should go home with your husband," he responded."But he is facing illegal charges," I uttered."They don't have solid evidence to prove their claims. Our business is legal Atasha, Conrad didn't break any law," he uttered but I know it is all lie."You don't have to pretend Dad I already know everything," I told him. My father looks at me intently and then let out a deep breath."Just go home with your husband and do everything you want. Live your life the way you want to Atasha that's the only thing I can do for you," he uttered and just like what Dad have told me, the following days Conrad was no longer a strict husband."I'm going out with Grace," I told him and he simply nod his head."Just call me if you are too drunk to drive, and I will pick you up," he uttered without look
Conrad's POVAtasha looked at me intently and after a while, she encircled her arms around my nape and started kissing my lips hungrily.I fought the intensity of her kisses. We fight tongue to tongue.I lifted her and upon doing that she instantly encircled her legs around my waist. I hold her butt firmly as I carry her towards my room.I threw her on my bed and placed myself on top. I looked at her face intently then removed the few strands of her hair that covers her face."Are you sure about this?" I asked and without any hesitation, she nod her head.That serves as my trigger to claim her. I showered Atasha with kisses and her moans filled the whole room.I started undressing her and without any warning, I put mine inside her.Atasha gasp then dug her nails into my back."Shit!" she cursed while gasping for air.I watched her expression and when I saw pleasure plastered on her face I felt satisfied."Moan my name, Atasha," I whispered in her ear.Atasha looked into my eyes direct
Atasha's POVI woke up with a heavy arm wrapped around my waist and a face buried in my neck.When everything sinks in I felt my cheeks heat."Shit," I cursed and I was about to get off his hold when he pulled me even closer."Stay," he whispered in my ears which made me swallow hard and I felt my body freeze."I-I have work," I uttered stuttering."It's still early Atasha," he responded and buried his face even more.After a while, he lifted his head and then looked directly into my eyes.I couldn't hold the intensity of his stare so I looked away to avoid his gaze."Shy now, wife?" he asked and it is obvious in his tone that he is teasing me."No, I'm not," I defended because I don't want him to use what happened last night against me."I didn't expect you to be good at moaning," he uttered. I looked at him and gave him a death glare."Oh shut up," I rolled my eyes at him then forcefully removed his arms around me but his hold tightens keeping me in place."Five minutes Atasha," he
Atasha's POVThe way we spent our morning was different unlike before I will go to work without even seeing him but now we even ate breakfast together and he offered to drive me to work so who am I to reject that kind offer?The whole ride was quiet but it wasn't awkward it was peaceful.After an hour of driving, we arrived at the hospital where I am currently working.I thought Conrad will just drop me off but he even walks me to my office.I saw eyes watching us probably because Conrad stands 6 foot tall and he looks like he owns the hospital the way he walks but Conrad doesn't seem to notice the way people stare at him.Conrad halted and upon tracing his vision I saw Sebastian standing in front of us."Good morning Sawyer," Sebastian casually greeted then offered his hand but Conrad ignored it."Your father owns this hospital?" Conrad asked while roaming his eyes around the hall with Sebastian's father's face plastered on the wall."Yeah, any problem with that?" Sebastian asked.I
Atasha's POVI knew that if I decided to stay silent they will kill each other in front of me so I held Conrad's hand and pulled him towards my office.He isn't moving at first but I was firm to separate the two of them. When we are already inside my office I faced Conrad and looked directly into his eyes.I can still see anger plastered on his face."Are you okay?" even though I can tell that he isn't. I just want to start a conversation with him maybe talking about how he feels will help him calm down and think logically.Conrad didn't respond but after a while, he let out a deep breath and then looked at me apologetically."I'm sorry," he uttered. I held his hand and squeezed it softly."Do you want some water?" I asked. Conrad nod his head so I let go of his hand and walked towards my water dispenser.After handing him a glass of water I made him sit at the chair in front of my table where my patients usually sit. I sat across him then held his hand and caressed it while he is cal
Atasha's POVConrad looked at me intently trying to process my words and after a few seconds he shook his head telling me that he disagrees with my idea."You won't do that Atasha. You don't know how dangerous they can be," he uttered acting all protective."I'll be careful," I responded then held his hand and smiled at him."I promise," I added while looking directly into his eyes.Conrad let out a deep breath."Tell me all your moves then and don't you dare do a dangerous stunt," he uttered which made me smile. I nod my head and then smiled at him once again."I won't I promise," I responded. Conrad stared at my face and after that, he stood up and then planted a soft kiss on my forehead."I'll be going call me if something happens," he reminds me before stepping out of my office.When I am all alone I stared at our wedding ring and it felt like hope surged in my system.I never thought we would come to this point. I thought throughout this marriage we will be nothing but two people
Atasha's POVI always dream of this moment.To walk down the aisle while the man that I love is waiting for me.When I met Conrad that dream shattered.The wedding that I imagined to have vanished into thin air because I was forced to marry him without any romantic feelings attached.When I met him I felt like my life already ended. The dreams that I had were gone but little did I know, that meeting Conrad would leave me to a better life. More than the life that I have asked to have.Tears fell on my cheeks as I walked down the aisle while my eyes were fixated on him.He's crying too but there's a huge smile plastered on his face.He's crying out of happiness I can tell.When I finally reached the end of the aisle Dad gave my hand to Conrad."You look beautiful Love," he whispered as he guided me to the altar. We faced the priest together with a smile plastered on our faces.We listened to the lecture and the whole time I was listening to the words of God I felt my heart lightened.W
Atasha's POVAfter sending the kids to school, Conrad drove me to the hospital and before I stepped out of his car I stared at his face with a smile plastered on my lips."Good luck with your presentation Love," He smiled at me and reached for my hand. He planted a soft kiss on it and stared at my eyes intently."Thank you Love. I'll do good, I'll make you and the twins proud,"I squeezed his hand and shook my head. "You already made us proud, you don't have to prove yourself to us just do your best,"I saw how his lips stretched for a wide smile and it warms my heart to see worry slowly leaving his face. "I don't know what I would do without you Atasha," he whispered as he pulled me into a tight hug.We were having an intimate moment when a knock on the car window interrupted us.Upon turning my head I saw Grace's face on the window, trying to see what was inside."Your friend is so nosy," Conrad jokingly commented which made me smile."She is," I replied agreeing to what he said.I
Atasha's POVWe spent a few hours at the water, and when the sun became scorching hot, we decided to head back to our cottage and take a rest.Conrad and I prepared our lunch together.We opted to grill some meat for our meal, and once we were done, we settled around a small table, enjoying the breathtaking view."I wish we could have stayed here forever," Alison commented, which brought laughter from all of us."Can we build a small house here, Mom?" Asher asked, his unspoken desire evident. I knew he loved it here as well."Your Dad and I will discuss it," I replied, glancing at Conrad. As our eyes met, he smiled warmly at me."I'll start saving money for your dream beach house," he proclaimed, eliciting smiles from the kids."I want my room to be all pink, Dad. I'll make curtains out of shells. It'll be so cute," Alison chimed in, her excitement evident as she talk about her dream room.Conrad smiled at Alison and nodded."We'll make that happen," he assured her.After our satisfyi
Conrad's POVI woke up at four in the morning and quickly took a shower. When I stepped out of the bathroom, Atasha was already awake, rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken up."Good morning," I greeted her.Atasha's gaze wasn't fixed on my face but on my body. A smirk spread across my lips as I walked towards her. She seemed frozen in place.I stopped in front of her and held her chin, making our eyes meet."Eyes up here, love," I said, noticing the embarrassment on her face. She slapped my hand away and pushed me aside before getting up.She was about to walk towards the bathroom, probably to escape from me, but I held her hand to stop her and hugged her from behind.Atasha stayed still as I hugged her tightly."Conrad, I can feel something," she said, making me laugh.Atasha turned around and looked directly into my eyes."Sorry, it's morning," I apologized.Atasha looked at me intently, then lowered her gaze, and I felt a bit embarrassed when I saw her eyes fixed on my member.
Atasha's POVWhen the kids disappeared from our sight, Conrad let out a deep sigh, and I gently caressed his shoulder to ease the heaviness he felt inside.Conrad looked at me, and I smiled back at him."I'll sleep here," he said."Okay," I replied, as he always sleeps here anyway."I'll just get a few things from my unit," he added, and I nodded, walking him out of the house.I watched him step inside his car. Before driving away, he rolled down his window and looked at me."I'll be back, love. I love you," he said, and I couldn't help but smile upon hearing those words."Drive safely. I love you," I reminded him, and his smile grew wider as he nodded at me before driving away.A huge smile remained on my lips as I watched Conrad's car slowly disappear from my view.I was so focused on his car that I didn't notice Grace standing by my side.She elbowed me, causing me to flinch."Shit, you scared me!" I blurted out, holding my chest in shock at her sudden appearance."What's with the
Conrad's POVWe settled around the table, trying to create a sense of togetherness. However, my attempts to catch the kids' attention were in vain—they kept avoiding me, refusing to even make eye contact. "Your pasta tastes good, Conrad," Dad commented, bringing a smile to my face."Thank you, Dad," I replied, then turned my gaze towards the twins."After we finish eating, would you like to watch a movie?" I asked, patiently awaiting their response."We already watched a movie with Grandpa, right Asher?" Alison chimed in, looking towards her twin.Asher nodded his head in confirmation."We also have to take a nap," he added."How about we go to the park after your nap?" I suggested, but they both shook their heads simultaneously."It's drizzling," Alison explained, returning to her pasta.I let out a deep breath, feeling defeated as I couldn't come up with another idea to make it up to them.I felt Atasha's hand holding mine, so I looked at her and she smiled, causing me to smile bac
Atasha's POVI watched as Conrad knelt in front of Alison, filled with guilt evident in his tone."I'm sorry," he uttered, his voice laced with remorse.Alison continued to cry, so Asher pulled her into a tight hug and glanced at his father."You always let us down, Dad. Uncle Sebastian is a better father than you. He made time for Alison's recital, even though he was busy treating sick people. I wish he were our Dad, not you," Asher said, his gaze fixed on Conrad."Asher, don't speak to your father like that," I firmly interjected.Asher fell silent, taking deep breaths to calm himself."It's fine, Atasha," Conrad assured me, forcing a smile on his lips.Conrad attempted to hold Alison and Asher's hands, but they kept removing his grasp, distancing themselves from him.Conrad let out a deep breath, tears glistening in his eyes.He swallowed hard and forced another smile."Daddy will make it up to both of you, I promise. Do you want ice cream? Shall we go to the mall? Would you like n
Conrad's POVI drove towards my office after dropping Atasha off at the hospital.The moment I stepped inside my office, I immediately went to my secretary to check my schedule. I had a dinner meeting later, so I informed Atasha that I wouldn't be home early.Coming home late seemed to be my routine for this month and possibly the following month. I had to work extra hard to regain everything that the company had lost.I started signing the documents and lost track of time. My secretary brought me lunch, so I took a quick break and called Atasha while I ate.After a few rings, she answered the call."Have you had your lunch?" I asked, hearing the twins in the background."Yeah, we're at a restaurant right now having our lunch. I'm with the twins. Do you want to talk to them?" she asked."Yes, please," I said, and after a few seconds, I heard Alison's voice fill my ears. "Hi Daddy," she greeted happily."Hi, baby. Are you eating right now?" I asked."Yes, Dad. I ordered pasta, and I w
Atasha's POVConrad embraced me tightly. I could sense that something was troubling him, but I didn't want to pressure him into opening up to me. Perhaps he needed time to figure things out on his own, so I would give him that time and patiently wait for him to share his burdens with me.I rested my head on his chest and let myself drift off to sleep.The next morning, I woke up to the sound of the twins knocking on our door. When I looked beside me, Conrad had just woken up as well. He rubbed his eyes and walked towards the door. As he opened it, the twins came running towards the bed."Good morning, Mommy," they greeted, showering me with kisses."What about Daddy?" Conrad asked, his jealousy evident in how the children greeted me.I laughed when I saw him pouting his lips while looking at the twins.The twins laughed at his expression and then stood up to give their father a tight hug."Good morning, Daddy," they greeted in unison, kissing their father on the cheeks.Conrad smiled
