2024-11-12 17:40:42Hello, my loves,
It’s the end of Marcus and Martina’s story, and I am feeling a bit down.
It pains me to let them go, but their story is already finished in my head.
I could not add more. Besides, I promised you to make it a short one. Only 50 chapters, but I exceeded and ended up writing 55 chapters for their story instead. Sorry about that.
Anyway, just a little trivia.
I originally planned for Marcus to end up with another girl to offer a new flavor to the 3rd installment. But then I realized that would be diverting from the original theme/concept - second chance.
And I kept reading you wanted Marcus and Martina's story. I could not let all of you down.
So I revised my original concept, explained why Martina was like that, and cleared the path to their happy ever after.
Hope I did not disappoint you guys.
Now, we are beginning with our fourth installment, Flint Ford's story.
As I mentioned in my previous author's notes, I upload 1-2 chapters daily. If I can't upload two chapters/day, I try to make it up and upload three chapters (at least once in a blue moon).
Sorry, I can't upload more. Two chapters a day is my limit, so I can take care of my health, too.
I hope you understand and won’t take it against me.
I really love to give you the best stories I can come up with all the time because you all deserve it.
Thank you everyone. As I said earlier, this story is yours as much as it is mine.
Thank you for the comments, suggestions, rewards, reviews, votes, and gems you shared for this book.
See you on the pages of the fourth installment.
Love,
J Cruz

Book Four: Flint’s StoryFlint POV“You don’t have any health problems, Mr. Ford.” the doctor said when I decided to show up for a visit. I looked at him, stupefied. “Maybe you didn’t check enough. Maybe I still need to undergo some tests?” I asked hopefully.I need to clutch on a lifeline. Anything would be ideal except this sense of hopelessness. “I am sorry. We had done all the tests we could. Nothing is wrong with your body. You are perfectly healthy, Mr. Ford.” The doctor told me. Irritation sets in. I need an explanation.“Then, why can’t my d*ck get up?” It has been a constant source of stress for me lately.I am a playboy, but my thing can’t perform, to my utter shame and disbelief. I couldn’t tell this to my brother because they would tease me nonstop. Besides, my brothers are all happily married and have kids of their own. I was the only bachelor left. The last Ford standing.

Flint POV“Have you been daydreaming, bro? I hope it’s not p*rn.” Marcus said when I pried my eyes open to see him hovering over my desk. The sight of Marcus’ smirk had a dousing effect. My mind became instantly alert. I sat hurriedly in my executive chair and rubbed my palms to my face.“You have a drool on the side of your mouth,” Marcus informed me, grinning from ear to ear. I wiped the sides of my mouth with the back of my index finger, noting the absence of wetness. “Just joking,” Marcus said. He posed like the runway model he used to be and folded his three fingers, leaving the index and the middle finger in a gesture of a peace sign. “B*st*rd! What do you want?” I barked, not amused. “It’s Hanna and Rowan’s wedding today, but you are still here in the office. Didn’t you get home last night?” Marcus asked.“And what were you dreaming about? Was it the same girl?” Marcus eyes me suspiciously. Years ago, I drunkenly admitted to Marcus that I spent a weekend affair with

Flint POV“Put your seatbelt on,” I ordered when I noticed she was not wearing one. In my haste to get her earlier, I had forgotten about it. Anna did as I told her, but I could feel her seething in anger. I know because her hands were clenched to the sides like she was trying hard to control the impulse to hit me. She was not the only one. I was angry, too.I gripped the steering wheel hard. I had two years' worth of anger ready to burst any moment if I didn’t hold it in check. Someone has to be level-headed at this point. It won’t do us good if we both give in to our impulses. I don’t need to ostracize her. She was here now. That is the most important thing. “Hello, Anna, or should I call you Linda?” Linda or Anna winced when I emphasized the name she had given me two years ago. "I am known around here as Linda Berns." She told me. I smirked. "So, you have given me a fake name. Cool." “What do you want?” The hostility in her voice was unmistakable. I shrugged. “

Anna/Linda POV“Keep the change,” I told the cab driver when I handed him my fare before I hurriedly got out of the car. I tilted my head to survey the apartment building that had become my home in the last six months. It was different from what I was used to, but it was better than choosing a more lucrative place and tipping off my father as to my location. Nobody would suspect that I was staying here. Yes, I ran away from home. Again. I don’t remember how many times I had left home to impress upon my father, the reigning King of Arkadia, that royal life was not for me. Royal life was stifling. I never cared about protocols or following rules. I hated it. I want to be free. I wanted to be someone other than the role thrust into my hands since I was born. Two years ago, my father’s men caught up with me and forcibly took me back to Arkadia. He wanted me to settle in the kingdom and assume the role I kept shunning away from all my life. “When are you going to be responsibl

Tight!’ Penelope protested and pushed at my chest.

It’s easy to find the registered address after that. But imagine my surprise with what I found out. My happily married brother owns the deed to your car and this apartment.”Flint’s voice hardened, and his eyes were like ice when he pierced me with a glare.

Flint POVJust as I was about to seal Anna’s lips with my own, we heard Penelope cry. We broke apart and raced up the stairs. “Daddy!” Penelope’s tear-drenched face lifted up in our direction when we opened the door to our room. She was standing on her cot. Her arms were outstretched toward me, silently asking to be pulled up. I didn’t think twice about responding to my daughter’s distress call. In three strides, I was in front of her. I cupped her chin.“Did you miss Daddy?” I asked gently. Longing pierced me when I saw her face. It was unfathomable how the two of us had become quite attached when we only knew about each other’s existence a few days ago. The connection was so strong. “You reek of alcohol.” Anna reminded me when I bent down to pick Penelope in my arms. “Just a while, dear. Let me comfort our daughter for a while." Anna stood to the side, watching while I rocked Penelope. I swayed my body from side to side while my little girl clung to me. Then, her eyes ha

Instead of overthinking and suspecting your brother, go to your wife and seek the answers to all the questions crowding your head.”“I really love talking to you, Brent. You are like a cold bath - scary but necessary.” I told him bluntly.Brent chuckled.“You needed it.”I clapped Brent on the back.“Thanks.”“Let’s go. It’s two in the morning, and the manager had been giving us deadly looks already. I think this club is closing for the day.”After Brent settled the bill, we rose from our seats and ambled back to his car.I left my c

Anna/Linda POVWe spent three days secluded in the exclusive villa Flint rented for us. It was nothing short of idyllic. Penelope had a wonderful time. “Dad-dy!” She squealed and jumped on her little feet to evade the coming waves. “Bubbles!” She would cry in gibberish, pointing at the sea foam that crowded her feet and ankles. Then she would run to Flint, and Flint would swoop down to capture her and put her to dry sand. Then, she would stroll toward the waves again, repeating the same actions until Flint rescues her.“You are silent,” Flint said when he deposited Penelope beside me. I was sitting on the sand with my legs stretched out in front of me. He quickly worked on the sand, digging with his hands and throwing them to cover my legs. It attracted Penelope, and she mimicked her father. She took clumps of sand in her hands and threw them to my legs. “You need a spade, my little Queen,” Flint said.He looked around our surroundings before his eyes focused on something no
