“It is almost here Mrs. Sage. One more push,” the nurse in the delivery room says to me. I scream as I give one final push and I am rewarded when I hear a small cry. My son was finally here. I am crying as Adrian holds my hand and kisses me.“You were so brave my love,” he says and holds me.“Mr. and Mrs. Sage, here is your bouncing baby boy,” the nurse says as she hands me the baby wrapped up in a white shawl. He looks so tiny as he wriggles his hands and feet. I cannot believe I have a son. Tears of joy flow down my cheeks as Adrian leans over and kisses him. I have a son!Amy walks in the room and she is so excited to meet her baby brother.“He is so small I feel like I can break him,” she says as she holds him and we all laugh. My little happy family.“I want to name him after my father, Thomas. Thomas Sage,” I say smiling at Adrian as he holds him.“Hello Thomas Sage. I am your father and I love you so much,” he says kissing him again. I am so happy. I finally have my own litt
EllieHe presses his lips to the curve of my neck and I glide my hand into his hair. I let a fake moan escape my lips as he cusps my breasts into his huge hands. He literally bites my sensitive nipples making me shudder in pain. He turns me aggressively making my back to face his torso. I am so not enjoying this. He makes me bend down in the doggy position and pulls my hair while aggressively humping me. I feel pain from the friction of his manhood thrusting into my small, dry opening. If he was not my boyfriend I would so not be doing this. Do not get me wrong I love my boyfriend. He means the world to me but lately, sex with him is not as passionate as it used to be. It is all about him being pleasured and I get nothing from it. I tried to have a talk with him and explain to him how I was feeling but it did not go as planned. I am thinking of the pancakes I had just prepared before this terrible sex when he makes his final thrusts in me and releases. He comes off me with a satisfie
Adrian"How did this even happen? Where were the guards? All those people in the company and not one of you saw the people that did this? Are you fucking kidding me?! I am on my way right now. Do not call the police till I get there." I angrily hang up the phone and direct my driver to drive faster. How can this happen? Sage Enterprises is like my baby I will not let anything happen to it.I reach the company entrance and jump out of the car. I walk as fast as I can to the server room. The company is in chaos and most people have been evacuated and only the IT people are inside trying to gather what exactly had been stolen."What is the status, Dave?" I ask my head in IT as I get to the server room." They accessed the main server and got proprietary intellectual property, some confidential research of the company, data secrets, and developmental documents. In layman's language, we are screwed if this gets to one of our rival companies and my guess is the thieves were hired by a b
EllieDrew drops me off at home and I take my luggage and get in the house. I go to the couch and break down. Unending streams of tears just continue to wet the couch. I am hurt, how could two people I love and trust do this to me? How dumb was I not to see this coming? My head is aching and I have puffy eyes at this point from all the crying I had done when I hear a soothing voice."Hey sweet pie, I did not hear you get in." My dad says as he wheels his wheelchair towards where I was. I get up wipe my tears and try to hide from my dad that I had spent the last hour feeling betrayed."Oh hi Dad, I did not want to disturb you. How have you been? Have you eaten and taken your meds?" I say trying to seem calm but my dad knows me too well."What is it, baby? Why are you crying? And please do not lie to me and tell me that you are okay?" he asks while taking my hand and directing me to sit on his lap."Ryan cheated on me." I manage to mumble my words but they are a bit clear for him t
Adrian“We are losing a lot of our assets. Our partners are slowly canceling their partnership with us. I just talked to Lockwood Company and they just canceled on us and said our company is on the line right now after the incident and they were looking out for themselves and can no longer partner with us. I do not blame them at this point we would have done the same.” Jane finished off and took a big sip of water.Jane was our lead manager in logistics and the worry shehad in her eyes for Sage Enterprises was so evident as it was for everyone inthat boardroom as she said we were on the edge.“How is the news traveling this fast? I thought the mediawas trying to cover down the story,” I said while turning my seat.“We have tried to keep it down Sir but it was not thateasy considering the police are putting the story out there to catch theculprits. We have tried everything we could, especially with the help of the ITteam.” Meridith, head of media team says.“We should
EllieThree years ago“Ellie Renee White! I will not call you one more time. We are super late already, what is it you are doing up there anyway?” “I am coming mum, just one sec.” I say while applying mascara. I can be a bit slow especially in getting ready and mum hates this. Not once has she left me in the house even though we were going the same direction.“Hmmmm something smells nice in here.” I say while coming down the stairs holding my bag.“I made pancakes. Unlike you, some people in this house can be fast enough to get ready and also make breakfast.”“Come on mum, I am not that slow.” I say while taking a sit on the dining table.“Morning dad, at least you are not complaining this fine morning.”“You know your mother, she has to get things her way if not she can get grumpy, morning sweet pie.” Dad says while taking a bite of his pancake.“So now you are both ganging up against me. Eat up so we can leave we are already thirty minutes behind schedule.” “Why do we ev
Adrian“I hope this is worth it Leo,” I say while walking into the hotel.“You have got to trust me, man, have I ever failed you? I have worked with her a lot and trust me you will love her.” Leo reassures me as we head to the table he had reserved for us.The hotel has an aesthetic charm to it, more or less like Leo’s style. The grey matte and brown walls embody a blend of elegance and charm. Half of the wall is covered in midnight blue wallpaper that kind of reminds me of the deep ocean that encloses a lot of dangerous sea animals. The seats are u-shaped and leather-textured and were rather a bit uncomfortable due to their straight-like nature. It is quite elegant I must say.“I hope your girl is time-conscious, you know how I feel about punctuality,” I say after ten minutes of waiting.“Relax man, she will be here. Order something while I ring her and ask her where she is.” Ryan says while taking out his phone and dialing her. I decide to order a latte for a start to calm my ne
EllieWhat the actual fuck! THE SAGE ENTERPRISES. I sit there looking as if I had just seen a ghost. The world suddenly is quiet and I am oblivious of everything happening around me. I can’t hear what Leo and Adrian are trying to say to me and it is like my mind just went blank. What did I get myself into? Ellie no…you cannot take this job. Is it so obvious that something is bugging me? That last question leads me to excuse myself and head to the bathroom to collect myself.“Fuck!” I scream once I enter the bathroom not even thinking of the two girls in there. They look at me as if I had lost it and I honestly don’t blame them, at this point I think I HAVE lost it. I go to the sink and wash my face maybe I am just in a really bad dream but after that wash, I realize how real this is. I just stole from the company some days ago then I meet the owner to help him with his company?! The chances of him getting to know I was behind all this just rose at a high speed. What am I going to do?

EllieI hope the dress will still fit me. I have added on some weight ever since I fitted it on. I am getting married today! I am finally getting married to the love of my life. I cannot imagine that we got this far. After everything, we just found our way back to each other. I would have it no other way. I am avoiding eating anything today. I already feel so anxious and I do not want to add to it by eating anything in the morning. I have not seen or talked to Adrian since yesterday. It is bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding. There are a dozen people in my room right now. One is doing my hair, the other my makeup and the other is checking my nails. My thoughts are elsewhere as I let these strangers do everything to my body. I have 3 more months before the baby comes so I am not scared that he might come today. I wish my parents were here though. I wish my dad could walk me down the aisle. I wish they were here to see me so beautiful in white. I still remember
AdrianI have decided. I will ask her today. I will ask her to be my wife today. I will propose to Ellie. There is no doubt about it now. She is the love of my life. I love how she just makes me feel. I love how hardworking and kind she is to everyone. I especially like how they are with Amy. She is just the best. I have seen how hard she has worked in building White and Co. Yes, I have helped her here and there, but she has brought that company from afar. It is now a month from when she started the company. White and CO were featured among the fastest-rising companies of the year. I also love how beautiful her belly bump is growing. I like talking to our baby as I rub her belly. She just makes the cutest mother ever. I love her with every fibre in my being. I have been planning for this day for the longest time ever. I want it to be perfect. I reserved us at the hotel where I once was to propose to her but found out about the pendant. I need to do it right this time. I have reser
EllieSitting there next to Adrian everything else does not matter anymore. I love this man. Despite everything I love him so much. Yes, I am scared, but I am willing to try again. If it means trying with him. I cannot even believe he is willing to support White and Co. I think I forgot the heart that this man owns. I think I forgot how nice and caring he is. I am getting money for the company for free! I had been thinking about bringing back the company for a while now. But the biggest obstacle was always the capital to start with. I gathered courage today and asked for a loan from Adrian and see how that turned out. I can never be happier. I get to have the company and the man back. I am going to work my ass off for that company. I need to make the White name great again. I feel happy. Here in his arms, I am happy. We lock eyes and I love him. I love this man. How did I get here? We hug again and Adrian leads me upstairs. We get to his room and it feels so nostalgic. I kiss him a
AdrianEllie is finally coming home to me. She called me yesterday and informed me that she could accept the offer. I could not have been happier to hear that. I was with Leo when she called. Finally, the universe is giving me a second chance to make things right with Ellie. Finally, I can have her back. I get to see her every day. I get to take her to checkups and watch our baby grow in her womb. I was so happy I drove straight home to Amy. She was also equally excited to hear that Ellie would come home. Now I am here waiting for her to arrive. I had sent some people to help her in the moving out. I had a meeting in the evening and could not make it to help her out. But I am sure she will not have to lift a finger. It is almost eight pm when I see the vehicles driving into the compound. I cannot hide the excitement especially when I see her getting off the car. I rush over to her. She has on black sweatpants and a T-shirt but looks as beautiful as ever.“Hey there,” I say walking u
EllieI love Amy. I love the energy she brings to me. I feel so warm inside every time she is around. But going back to live with them? I am not sure I can handle it. Seeing Adrian all around. It makes me feel happy and anxious at the same time. I want to be around Adrian but I am still not sure whether this is the right thing for me. What if something bad happens again when I am there? I already have a life here. I have a job, I have Levi, Mary and Paul. I am already forming something for myself here. Do I really want to leave it all? Just because Adrian asked me to? Just because Adrian wants his whole family together? Am I willing to take that risk? I really am not sure about all this. Amy and Adrian are preparing to leave. I have asked Adrian for some time to think about it. I need to weigh down all my options. I need to know and make the right decision for my baby. He comes first in my life.“I will miss you, Ellie; I wish you lived with us, and we could play dress up all day lo
AdrianI cannot stop thinking about Ellie and the baby. I have not yet told Amy about it. I plan to tell her tonight so that we can head over to Ellie’s with her tomorrow. She will be so excited to hear about it. She has always had a soft spot for Ellie. I hope Ellie can be that mum that she has never had and that she accepts to come back. I want to take care of her and the baby together with Amy. I want to have a perfect little family with them. I am planning to ask her tomorrow if she can come back with us. That way I will ensure that they lack nothing. I just want to win back Ellie’s heart again. At the company, things have been going well. I love how Job is working and everything he is doing. Throughout the week I have been so busy with meetings and signing deals. I even got a deal with the prestigious Stanford Enterprises. Working at the office has given me a sense of relief. At least my mind was occupied most of the time and I did not just sit down the whole day thinking of E
EllieDoes he really want to know me again? He wants to know my baby. I feel so distant from that. I want to go back to how things were with him. But do I know him anymore? Which Adrian is he? The one in front of me or the one who denied me in front of everyone. I cannot allow my baby to be brought up with uncertainties.“I cannot keep my baby away from his father. I do not want him to be robbed of his father,” I say after a long silence.“You know the gender. It boy?” he asks, his face beaming.“No, it’s just some intuition. I hope it is a baby boy, though,” I say, giving him a weak smile.“I hope it is a baby boy, too,” he says, returning my smile.“Well. I am not sure that things can go back to how they were Adrian. You hurt me too much. But I am willing to allow you to see your child. And for his sake, I can try and get along with you,” I say, and I hope I do not regret it in the end. It has always been my wish to bring up my kids in a complete home. I can try to get along with h
EllieMy hands are still shaking. What the hell was that? I felt a little happy to see him. Seeing him just made me realize how much I missed him. I still miss him. I still love that man despite everything he has done to me. He still makes me nervous and those few moments when our hands touched were the best. I felt some electricity go through me. I love him. I love him but he hurt me. He was apologetic, though, and sounded like he meant it. Maybe I should forgive him and start over. But I cannot make it that easy for him. He needs to earn my trust back. I need to know that he will stay by my side this time forever. I need to tread carefully. I felt bad not telling him about his baby yesterday., He would have been so happy to hear that we are having a child together. I should have given him my new number. Maybe give him a chance to make things better. It felt so nice seeing him again. I have not talked to Levi ever since we came out of the party. I owe him a lot of explanation. Toni
