Conrad's POV

I put the newspaper down when Atasha stepped out of the kitchen. I let out a deep breath and then decided to leave as well.

I drove towards my office and upon arriving my employees greeted me.

I headed to my office to continue doing some paperwork and when lunchtime came I am contemplating whether I should eat with Atasha.

After a few minutes of thinking I gather all my courage and drive towards Hudson's hospital carrying the lunch that I bought for us.

I searched for her in the emergency room but she wasn't there so I headed to the hospital's cafeteria and there I saw her laughing with Sebastian.

I held the food tightly as I watched them. I want to punch Sebastian in the face but I decided to calm myself rather than make a scene.

I was about to leave when Grace saw me.

"You're looking for Atasha?" she asked then her eyes shifted from the food I am holding.

"But she didn't see you right?" sh

When I saw worry on his face I started hoping for something again."Painkillers," I responded."I'm sorry," he apologized after a while. Upon looking at his eyes intently I saw guilt."For what?" I asked without tearing off our gazes."For creating a scene at the bar," he responded.I let out a deep breath. He shouldn't take all the blame because he has every reason to act that way. I was too drunk to even realise that I am kissing Sebastian. I can't control myse

Atasha asked while looking at herself in the mirror.She is wearing a red fitted gown that perfectly hugs her curve.I stood up and then hugged her from behind. I kissed her shoulder and then looked at her reflection in the mirror."You look beautiful," I commented which made her smile."Let's go," she said."Are you sure about this?" I asked and without any hesitation, she nods her.I am against this idea but I can't say no to Atasha.After an hour of driving, we arrived at the venue.The place is heavily guarded so you can't easily set foot inside the place but since they already k

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.

    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

When I looked beside me, Conrad had just woken up as well. He rubbed his eyes and walked towards the door.
