**Two days earlier**Jace told Luke everything that happened while they were seated in his apartment. Luke kept opening and closing his mouth in disbelief"With all these threats to your life, you are still telling me not to inform the police!?" Luke asked. He was in uttermost disbelief. "Jace, are you trying to get yourself killed!?" Luke questioned"I just need to have concrete evidence before I do that." Jace sought"Concrete evidence huh!" Luke scoffed."Yes! What is wrong with that? I need something that will get him locked up for Life, even." Jace said, through gritted teeth"We can't get that by waiting. We have to take action." Luke suggestedThe PI Jace hired, has confirmed to him that Joshua was still in town. He also gave him the location he was last night. Which means there is a possibility he is still thereJace stood up and started pacing. "We have to get someone from the inside. Someone that can get easy access to my cousin, without being noticed." Jace suggested"You m
**Three days later**"It's been almost two weeks now." Eliana said with pouty lips. She is currently on the phone with Jace."I know love." Jace confirmed.Eliana is starting to get worried. 'What if what she thought becomes true?' What if Jace has found someone that is in his league? Eliana knows Jace is way out of her league. He is wealthy, famous and devilishly handsome. Every girl dreams. While Eliana feels she is a nobody. Besides, she used to see the pictures of those models. They are the type that famous people used to be with. The type of women that only wear branded clothes. "Jace?" Eliana said."Yes love." Jace replied. Eliana could hear some rustling on Jace's end of the line. She wanted to ask what he was doing because it seems his attention was not much on the call. She ignored that for now, she needed to know where their relationship was heading to. "Emm. Are - are you seeing someone?" She blurted with eyes closed."What!?" Jace retorted. "Why would you think that?"S
For a while, the couple engulfed in a passionate kiss at the front of Eliana's home. Not given the slightest care to who could be watching them. After like ten minutes of eating each other's face, Jace picked Eliana up, bridal style and walked to the door. That made Eliana chuckle."This is the most beautiful welcome I have ever received in my life." Jace said as they reached the closed door. He didn't want to put Eliana down, but he had to because the door is locked and she has to use a key to unlock it. The bouquet is still intact in his hand.Eliana chuckled. She fished out the key from her mini handbag. "This is the best surprise I have received so far." Eliana confessed.Eliana got the door open and they walked in. "This is for you." Jace said, handing the bouquet to Eliana. Eliana dropped her bag and key on the table near the exit. She turned around and accepted the roses. "Thank you." She turned almost immediately and dropped them as well. The. She turned back to Jace and wra
Eliana's eyes grew wider when she felt Jace licking her dry. When he was done, he crawled up to her. His mouth glistened with her love Juice."You are amazing and taste so fucking good." Jace said before kissing Eliana on the lips. Letting her have a taste of her own cum.She could still feel Jace's member poking her peach as Jace laid between her legs. That made her core pulsate again. After all the pleasure she received. Eliana wrapped her legs around Jace and pulled him impossibly closer to her.Jace taking her action as a cue, he grinded against her core as their lips are still sealed together. Eliana couldn't help but be disappointed in the little fabric that kept them apart. She can only feel Jace's length between her thighs through his boxers.After another minutes of making out, Eliana said, "My turn." Her face turned red from her statement and the way Jace reacted to it.After a short pause, Jace said, "Really?" Knowing what Eliana meant with her words.She giggled and nodd
It's noon already. Amelia will be home from school soon. Jace and Eliana were at it for the third round of their love making. After which they laid on the bed catching their breaths."I love you. So fucking much." Jace said and pecked Eliana's lips. He noticed how her lips were swollen, due to constant sucking for hours. He smiled at the sight."I love you too." Eliana replied and pecked him too.They lay both naked on the bed, but used a duvet to cover themselves. While Eliana covered her chest, Jace only covered from his waist line. Jace still has his hands wrapped around Eliana."What has gotten into you!?" Eliana asked, referring to how Jace gets turned on from the sight of her naked body. She rubbed circles on Jace's firm hairless chest as she waited for his answer, without looking at him."It's been two weeks without you by my side. I missed you so much. Plus, I think your body got even more beautiful within those two weeks." Jace said, caressing her hair. "I am not saying it wa
"I hope she is fine." Eliana spoke. Looking straight ahead. She felt like the car was not going fast enough. She just wanted to see herself in Amelia's school.Earlier when that bus arrived at their street, Eliana thought it was at the front of her house. But when she stepped out, she noticed it was at the opposite side of the house. Where it dropped three other children.Eliana waited with a smile plastered on her face for Amelia to come to her. But she never did. In fact Eliana did not sight her daughter. She quickly crossed to the other side to see for herself.She reached the entrance of the bus and took a look at the children that had exited the vehicle. Amelia was not one of them.The bus driver looked at her without saying a word. So did the woman monitoring the students."Bye Emily, Leo, Turner. I will see you guys tomorrow. Don't be late." The woman said. Waving at the children."Bye miss Shaw." The kids who exited the bus called after."Hello." Eliana greeted them."Hello "
"Mr Bratkowski, Miss Parker. Sorry for keeping you waiting." The headmaster spoke again when he reached where they stood. "The bus driver confirmed dropping every child at their designated stop. He has been doing this for a number of years so he knows most of the pupils." The headmaster explained. "He will be here so that you can hear from him for yourself." He added.Eliana only nodded. She felt this was all a waste of time. She is supposed to be out there looking for her daughter and not listening to stories. 'Maybe I should call the cops' she thought."Good day." A middle aged man said from their side. They both turn their attention to him. "Good day." Jace replied.Eliana was busy going through her phone and did not bother responding to the man. When she found what she was looking for, she handed the phone to the man and said, "This girl. You were supposed to drop her off at Lincoln Street, house number 126." Eliana said with a shaky voice.Jace still had Eliana in his arms al
Jace chuckled at the way Eliana's eyes rounded. Amelia chuckled too. Even though it was obvious she doesn't know what they are talking about. But seeing Jace chuckled, made her follow suit."Yes." Jace confirmed. "Babe! What have you done? And how many events have you planned?" Eliana asked in a warning tone. "Patience, love." Jace smirked. "You are about to find out." He said as he checked his wrist watch, which looked really expensive. "Ah ha! Any moment now."Eliana looked around curiously. There was nothing new around them that she hadn't seen since they arrived. When she turned to Jace in an attempt to ask him again, she noticed his eyes were focused on something behind her.Amelia gasped. "Mummy, look." She pointed behind her mother. Eliana had to turn to see what it was that the two were looking at with keen interest. She already heard footsteps of people and the sound of faint music."Oh my God!" Eliana also exclaimed, putting both her hands over her mouth. Tears fill her ey
**A day earlier, before the opening of the new hotel.**Maya came out of a spa, her phone on her ear with the support of her shoulder. When she exited the place, she then held the phone with her hand."I am on my way home now. I will be home in ten minutes -" Maya was speaking to Axel on the phone when she sighted Noah exiting his car. He then got into another car that was parked In Front of his car."Maya? Can you hear me?" Axel asked when Maya went silent while talking to him."Make that twenty. Twenty minutes. Something just came up." Maya quickly said and ended the call and got out of her car to hail a taxi."Go straight, " Maya ordered after getting into a taxi. They came in sight of the car in no time. She then told the taxi driver to follow the car but he should be careful not to be caught by the car In Front of them.They continued to follow the car low-key for another fifteen minutes. They arrived at a motel.maya was confused. "Stop here." She told the taxi driver before he w
"Wifey, Where have you been?" Jace spoke with a sleepy voice. He stared in his sleep and felt the other side of the bed empty. Almost immediately, the door opened and Eliana walked in. Jace's attention turned to her. Her phone in her hand and her face looked determined."I was making up my mind on what you asked of me last night." Eliana replied as she walked to Jace.Jace sat up on the bed. "Yes?" His face was hopeful of a positive answer from his wife.Eliana bit her lips nervously before saying, "I decided to take on the job -""Really!? That is wonderful news. I know you are going to do great." Jace said, holding her hand, excitedly.Eliana chuckled. "You didn't let me finish." She reasoned."Oh.. what else?" Jace asked."I will take the job on one condition." Eliana said, raising one finger up."Whatever you want, my love." Jace confirmed."I want Zia by my side in the kitchen." Eliana said. "She would act like the strength with authority there." She added."Done. Anything else?
Eliana walked into the bedroom and her husband was on a call. She could easily make up what he was discussing on the phone. It was about the new hotel that was about to be launched. They haven't decided the date yet but everything was ready. It took Jace and his good friend Jayden to get the hotel done. Even though it was an expansion not completely a new project."Hey, beautiful." Jace said after ending the call. Walking towards Eliana, who was also walking to her husband."Hey, Babe." Eliana replied.They hugged each other after sharing a kiss."I love you so much. Today was just amazing." Eliana said."Anything to make my wife happy. Besides, you deserve it all." Jace said. Putting his chin on her head. "I love you even more.""Even Zia and her entire family!" Eliana said. Her hands still wrapped around his torso as they swayed gently in the silence of the night. "You are just so amazing. When did you have time to pull that off?" Eliana probed, looking up at him."Quite some time a
*** A year later ***A maybach drove into Bratkowski's mansion in the evening. In the back seat of the car, Eliana and her husband sat. Eliana looked sad."Wifey, this is supposed to be a happy moment. Why the long face?" Jace asked, caressing her hand.Eliana sighed. "Hubby, I invited them all but no one showed up. They all had one excuse or the other. Not even Maya. She works for you, you should have forced her to show up at my certificate awarding of culinary school." Eliana said with a pout.Eliana got to meet Maya in one of her visits to Jace's office. She was so happy when she met her and realized she was the same lady Axel was drooling over at her wedding.eDestiny is what brought them together because they were destined to be together. As Eliana believed.Jace chuckled and kissed the back of her hand. "I can't force anyone, especially if it is not work related. You know that, right?" He tried to reason with her. "I know." Eliana said, still pouting."Good. Now let's go. The ki
A week has passed and Eliana decided to put one of Chelsea's advice into action. She had already planned everything before she left home that morning.At school, she quickly concluded her practical for that day early so that she can achieve her mission. She headed to the company afterwards.Walking to the front desk at the entrance, Eliana approached the receptionist."Hello." Eliana said at the receptionist. She was still nervous but tried to put on a smile. She was holding onto the lunch she packed for them from school and some things she bought on her way."Good day, how can I assist you -" the receptionist began before looking up. When she looked up, recognition flashed in her eyes. "Oh, Mrs Bratkowski, you are welcome." Eliana was a bit relieved. At least the receptionist recognised who she was. 'She must have attended our wedding.' Eliana thought to herself. That could only be the explanation, since she has never visited the office."I am here to see my husband, can you direct
"Want more sauce?" Eliana asked."Me. Me. Me." All the three little girls at the table cooed, raising their hands up with excitement. They were all savoring the dishes served to them. Eliana prepared the food with the assistance of her kitchen staff."Wifey, this is amazing." Jace said when he was done with his meal. "It is 100 times better than anything I have had that was not prepared by you " he added, while cleaning his mouth.That made the adults on the table laugh. Although they also find her cooking amazing."Thanks hubby." Eliana said with a smile. The children were served a little more of the soup that they wanted more of.Days and weeks later. In the Bratkowski's mansion sat Chelsea and her husband, Jayden, with their two girls, Reha and Myra. Then the Bratkowski's family too. They were having dinner all together. Both families seemed happy as they sat and ate cheerfully around the table.Liam, the little one was on his highchair as well, having his own version of dinner.
"What are you guys not telling me?" Eliana asked. After following Jace into the closet. "After all, I was trying to play matchmaker for Axel." She added, putting her hands on her waist.Jace chuckled as he put on his pajamas pants. "I didn't know that. When did you decide to do that? Playing Cupid and all." He asked."Since our wedding." Eliana said. Picking up the towel Jace earlier had on him. "I noticed how he was gawking over a lady that was sitting at a different table. I wanted to introduce myself to her but then I was distracted for a moment. Before I could get to her again, she was nowhere to be found." Eliana explained.They both walked out of the closet. Jace first and Eliana tailing behind."It turns out he worked it out all by himself." Jace said before sitting on the bed. Eliana walked back into the bathroom. She hung the towel where it should be and then walked back into their bedroom."Yeah, it did. They would have been a perfect match though. She is beautiful and lo
"Wait! What!?" Eliana exclaimed. Her eyes grew wide at Axel's suggestion. She abruptly got up from her sitting position.Jace's eyes were wide as well. "You are joking, right? Don't get my hopes up and then you would say you are joking. Just tell me it's a joke." He blurted. Jace is still seated, but he was close to standing up as well because he was sitting by the edge of the chair.Axel looked between the two as they acted very surprised by his words. "No. I am not. I am sorry I caught you both off guard. After everything I have made you go through. This is the least I can do for her happiness and my way of feeling less guilty for the things that happened." Axel explained."Oh and Jace, that makes you the highest shareholder of the company." Axel announced with an assuring nod. "Because half of mine now goes to my daughter." He added.Alex was still at Eliana and Jace's home when he told them that he was waiting for his lawyer. A few moments later, two lawyers came to their house. T
"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! You are here." Amelia cheered, running towards Axel. The butler that walked him into the house took a bow and walked away."Hey Princess." Axel said, opening his hands wide for the running Amelia. He picked her up and swung her around before hugging her close to his chest.Axel laughed and Amelia giggled at that. "Woah. My Princess is getting bigger by the day." He said, after putting her down."Yes. I am a big girl now and a big sister too." Amelia said, as she pulled her father's hand towards the living room. "Mummy, daddy is here." She announced, looking at the direction of the stairs.When Axel arrived, he called Eliana and let her know he was at the gate. The gate was then opened for him and he drove through the huge compound of the mansion.Eliana was changing Liam's diaper then. She told Amelia her father was downstairs. That made Amelia run down the stairs. She was screaming her father's name and could not hear her mother's calling. Telling her not to run
