No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop thinking about what my mom had told me earlier this morning. We were getting ready to go out but as I fixed myself and did my makeup, each word kept re-echoing in my head. “If I wouldn’t be able to expose him, then I would kill him.” Those were her exact last words in our discussion and I wondered how that was even possible since he was in the custody of the police at the moment. I doubted I was going to wait till night before completing this conversation with her, Drew would be back already by then and I don’t want him seeing me a fowl mood nor did I want my feelings to ruin the beautiful time we would have together. I strolled out of my room to my mom’s and knocked softly on the door, “It’s me mom” I said and waited for her response. There was no response from her after few seconds so I turned the knob and luckily the door wasn’t locked, I walked in and looked around but she was no where to be seen in the room. I decided to go downsta
“Catherine, hurry up!” I shouted as I made my way to the car. I didn’t know how to drive yet so Theresa was driving us all the shopping mall, Drew’s driver Peter was out of town to go see his family. Drew lives a very simple life despite how wealthy he was, the only home staff he had were the security that guarded the estate and his driver who works for him occasionally. He hired Theresa to be his home keeper not because he needed one, but because he didn’t want the house being empty since he didn’t leave here initially. The hospital he owns, he still visits as a guest or patient and I still wondered what other things he owned that I know nothing about. Catherine rushed out of the house, shutting the door behind her and getting into the car. We headed straight to the mall, stopping first at the restaurant. I ordered for two boxes of margarita pizza and a cup of ice cream for each of us, after eating, we decided to kick off with our shopping. We started first with clothes, shoes a
“It’s past 9am already Alexa, Remember you have an appointment with the doctor.” I heard my mom’s voice followed by a shrieking noise like the sound of a glass hitting the floor and shattering into pieces. I sprang up from bed immediately and looked around, it was my phone. I had pushed it to the ground accidentally while stretching my arms and now the whole surface is broken. “Shit!” I gasped dropping it back on the night stand. “What was that baby?” My mom asked me “I dropped my phone, it’s broken.” I answered her sleepily. “Oh sorry about that honey, is there still a way to fix it up?” She asked with concern. “No I don’t think so. It’s broken beyond repair, I’ll just get another one.” I told her and got off the bed lazily. “I brought you breakfast honey, you should eat and get ready.” She said and made to leave the room. “Where’s Drew?” I asked her because I didn’t quite remember telling her I was going anywhere today, I wondered how she got to know. “Oh he’s downstairs wor
The ride back home was quiet as we both thought of the best way to narrate everything to Nicholas, I fell asleep soon and didn’t realize when we got home. “Hey princess, we are home.” Drew said shaking me slightly as he opened my side of the door. I sprang awake and got down the car immediately walking into the house with my purse in hand. “Zach, Uncle Nich is here!” Catherine shouted from the living room and Zach dashed out of his room, rushing outside. I was taken aback because I had no idea they knew Nicholas as well. “Welcome, how did it go?” Catherine asked coming to sit beside me on the couch. “Very well.” I replied“You seemed tired, I’ll help you with your shoes.” She said and bent down to the floor taking off my shoes. She slowly started to rub my feet with her thumb while humming a song. “Thanks.” I told her when she was done and headed to the kitchen, Drew and Nicholas were still outside probably discussing. The dining table was already set with several dishes and d
Drew informed me that the delivery agent for my phone was close by as he had just gotten off the phone with the security officers, I rushed downstairs to the living room to wait for when the door bell would ring. “Wait in here while I go out to get it.” Drew instructed me as he trailed behind me. “Alright.” I replied and sat back on the couch while he walked outside the door alone. The delivery agent was supposed to have been here an hour ago but he had called Drew earlier to inform him that there was a mistake and he picked the wrong package instead of my phone. “Here you go.” Drew said as he walked back inside the house few minutes later with the package, I took the bag from him excitedly and we both headed upstairs. I carefully did the unboxing and it turned out that not only did Nicholas got me a new phone, he also ordered for a smart watch and an iPad. “Wow! This is so cute.” I said out loud showing the stuffs to Drew who just gave me a thumbs up and went back to what he w
The next day was Sunday and unlike the other days, I woke up quite early. I walked to the bathroom, brushed up my hair, tied it in a high bun and brushed my teeth. Drew was still sleeping when I got out of the bathroom and since I literally had nothing to do, I picked up the diary where we had written baby names and began to go through it. For some reasons, I felt nervous again that we were having twins. Few minutes into looking at the names and writing more names on the list, I remembered Drew had asked me to read his diary and start off my day with it. I rushed to the dresser immediately to get the diary, smiling hard in anticipation of whatever was inside of it. It was titled “in my feelings”, I walked back to the bed, taking a seat before I opened the first page. I took a deep breath and began to read. “She’s only thirteen and also my step sister, what am I supposed to do with this weird feelings growing inside of me?” I read the first lines and turned around to look at Drew wh
“Hey baby, do you want to come with me to work today?” I heard Drew say softly behind my ears as he kissed and sucked gently on my neck. I turned around to face him sleepily but said nothing, he paused a bit to look at me before speaking again. “You alright babe?” He asked sitting up on his elbow and removing the strands of hair covering my face. I nodded slightly to answer his question but said nothing still, it was still early in the morning and I wondered why he had to wake me for this. “Would you be joining me to work today?” He asked again smiling. “What time is it Drew?” I asked him back ignoring his own question. “It’s past 4am princess.” He gently responded. “What time would you be leaving for work today?” I asked him again slightly raising my voice. “Uhm 9am, I have a meeting at exactly 2pm.” He replied and I nodded. “You’re leaving for work by 9am and you chose to wake me up this early? Would you need me for anything at the office?” I asked him, irritation clearly e

As the days turned into weeks, the excitement for the wedding grew. Everyone was buzzing with anticipation, and the house was filled with the sound of laughter and chatter.We all went on a shopping spree, getting new outfits, clothes, shoes, and bags. I tried on my wedding dress multiple times, making sure it was perfect. Nessa got her maid of honor dress, and Drew and Nicolas looked dashing in their tuxedos.Finally, the big day arrived. The house was buzzing with activity as everyone got ready. My grandparents, uncles, aunt and families all arrived, beaming with happiness.We all got into our various cars and headed to the wedding venue, some guests were already seated waiting patiently for us.

As we woke up the next morning, my phone rang, breaking the silence. It was my grandfather calling to ask about the babies and exchange pleasantries. After a while, he asked, "So, when are you two lovebirds planning on getting married?"Drew, who was lying beside me, suddenly sat up and took the phone from me. "Actually, sir, I've have something nice planned out, and I intended to see you physically for a discussion.” he said with a smile. "We're going to have a beautiful outdoor wedding in a stunning landscape surrounded by nature and flowers. And the best part is, it's just a month away! The venue and all is under construction and would be ready in two weeks time.”I was taken aback, my eyes widening in surprise. I had no idea Drew had planned anything, let alone the entire wedding! I listened in awe as Drew continued to talk to my grandfather, discussing the details of the wedding.After they hung up, I turned to Drew, excitement radiating from my face. "You've planned the wedding?
Few days after the birth, our house was still buzzing with excitement. Zach and Catherine were inseparable from the babies, and they took turns feeding and cuddling them.My mom and Theresa were also a big help, cooking meals and doing laundry despite the presence of a new housekeeper and cook. Drew and I were enjoying every moment of parenthood, even the sleepless nights. We would take turns feeding and changing the babies, and we would often sit together in the nursery, watching them sleep.Nessa was also a big help, and she would often come over to visit and assist with the babies. She was overjoyed to be an aunty, and she would spend hours playing with the babies and giving them attention.My mom was now staying with us full-time, she was cleared off her probation and now was happily helping with the babies and getting everything back to normal. Drew was working from home, taking care of his fatherly duties and making sure everything was running smoothly.Our home was filled with
We drove through the quiet streets, I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. It had been a wonderful evening, and I was grateful for the love and friendship that surrounded us.After a while, Drew broke the silence. "I'm glad we're having twins," he said, smiling at me.I smiled back, feeling happy. "Me too," I said. "It's going to be an amazing adventure."Drew nodded, taking my hand. "We'll face it together," he said. "As a family."I felt a surge of love for him, and I knew that everything was going to be okay. We were in this together, and we would face whatever challenges came our way as a team.As we pulled into our driveway, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It had been a long day, but it had been worth it.Drew helped me out of the car, and we walked together into our house going into our room immediately and getting ready for bed. Drifting off to sleep that night, I knew that tomorrow would bring new challenges and adventures. But I was ready, because I had Drew by m
I woke up to the sound of Catherine knocking gently on our bedroom door. "Good morning, Alexa! I brought you some breakfast. It’s almost noon.” she said, her voice soft and cheerful.I smiled, feeling grateful for Catherine's thoughtfulness. "Thanks, Catherine. Come on in." I said to her and glanced at the wall clock, it was past 11am. Catherine walked in with a tray laden with scrambled eggs, toast, and fresh fruit. "Good morning, Drew," she said, smiling. Drew stirred, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Morning, Catherine. Thanks for bringing us breakfast."I took a bite of my eggs, savoring the delicious flavors. "Catherine, did Theresa make these?” I asked, gesturing to the meal. Catherine nodded. "No, she left hours ago. She said she had a busy day ahead of her at the restaurant, I made them.”“Oh, you’re the sweetest. Thank you.” I said, praising her sense of thoughtfulness. After we finished eating, Drew and I relaxed for a while, before he started to work on his computer. A
***FIVE MONTHS LATER….I sat in the living room, engrossed in a book about parenthood. The warm glow of the lamp beside me cast a cozy ambiance, and the soft hum of the TV in the background created a sense of relaxation. Drew walked into the room, a gentle smile on his face, and sat down beside me."Hey, how's the book?" he asked, nodding towards the pages in my hand.I looked up, my eyes sparkling with excitement. "It's great! I'm learning so much about what to expect when the twins arrive."Drew chuckled. "I'm sure you'll be an amazing mom. You're already so prepared."Just then, Zack walked out of his room, a curious expression on his face. "Hey, what are you reading?” I smiled. "Just a book parenthood.” Zack nodded and plopped down beside us on the couch. Catherine, who had been quietly reading in her room, also emerged, drawn in by the conversation.As we chatted, Stella, our new housekeeper, walked into the room with a tray of freshly baked cookies and a pitcher of cold lemona
As the private jet landed safely at the designated airport, Nicolas was ready to drive us all back home. The ride was smooth, and before we knew it, we were pulling up to our beautiful home. Theresa, Zach, and Catherine were waiting at the door, beaming with smiles."Welcome home!" Theresa exclaimed, opening her arms for a warm hug.Zach and Catherine chimed in, "We missed you guys!"“I missed you all too, so much.” I said and hugged them back. We unloaded the boxes and bags from the car, Nicolas and Nessa said their goodbyes. "It was great spending time with you all," Nessa said, hugging me tightly."Definitely," Nicolas agreed. "We'll have to do it again soon."With a final wave, they drove off, leaving us to settle back into our routine.As we walked into the house, Theresa asked, "So, how was Paris? Tell us everything!"I grinned mischievously. "Oh, where do I even start?"Zach and Catherine's eyes widened with excitement as I began to recount our adventures. "We visited the Eiff
I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring in my ear, I stretched my arms and yawned, feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep. I glanced at the clock and saw that it was already 8:00 am. Drew was still fast asleep beside me, so I gently shook him awake."Good morning, sleepyhead," I whispered, smiling.Drew rubbed his eyes and sat up, yawning. "Morning, beautiful. How did you sleep?”I grinned. "We're going to the Musée d'Orsay, so I guess my night went well. Nicholas and Nessa are meeting us at the museum at 10:00 am."Drew nodded, throwing off the covers. "I see. Let's get ready then."We both headed to the bathroom to take our showers. The warm water felt invigorating, and I took my time, enjoying the feeling. After our showers, we got dressed. I chose a yellow sundress with white flowers, pairing it with a pair of sandals and a wide-brimmed hat. Drew wore a pair of light blue shorts and a white button-down shirt, looking effortlessly stylish. I grabbed my camera and made sur
I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing on the nightstand. I reached over and picked it up, seeing a text from Zach."Hey, Alexa! The house feels so empty without you guys. Can't wait for you to come back," the text read.I smiled, feeling a pang of homesickness. I decided to call Zach and catch up with him and Catherine.As I dialed the number, Drew stirred beside me, opening one eye lazily. "Who are you calling?" he asked, his voice husky with sleep."I'm calling Zach and Catherine," I replied, smiling. "I just got a text from Zach and I wanted to catch up with them."Drew nodded, closing his eye again. "Okay, baby. I'll let you talk."I waited for Zach to answer, and when he did, I could hear the sound of Catherine's laughter in the background."Hey, Alexa! Oh, I'm so glad you called," Zach said, sounding enthusiastic.I chatted with Zach and Catherine for a while, telling them about our latest news and adventures and how I have everything captured on camera to fill them when I’
