(Sky’s POV)Hate…Yes, we must have loathed each other at this time because I could not stop myself from kissing and touching Angela. Perhaps she couldn’t bear my presence because her hands clutched my shirt as she kissed me back.I caught her hands and pushed her back gently at the closed door, pinning her hands above her head as I deepened the kiss. Her mouth released a short sigh when my hand groped under her camisole, freeing her beautiful breasts from being imprisoned in her bra.“I hate you, Sky,” she moaned in my mouth.“I hate you, too, pumpkin,” I whispered, releasing her hands to lift the hem of her shirt, but the powerful soft knocks on the door stopped me.“Mommy,” It was Leyanne’s voice. “Aunt Anya is asking if you’re done operating Dad’s hand?”I closed my eyes and chuckled quietly.Angela cleared her throat. “Yes, baby.” She took a deep breath, fixing herself before opening the cabinet. “Tell Aunt Anya and Uncle Dylan I’m almost done.” Her hands were trembling as she ap
(Sky’s POV)“Say it, Anya,” I said, not looking at Anya as I joined them for dinner.“Nothing,” She shook her head, smiling wickedly as she ate, but as she chewed her food, she kept looking at the band-aid on my finger.“You envy my band-aid? Angela has plenty in the cabinet,” I said, ignoring her again.She chuckled. “I was just wondering how many stitches Anj did, that’s all.”Angela rolled her eyes. “Anya, it’s a small cut,” she hissed.“That’s exactly my point,” She turned to my daughters, pretending to glare her eyes at them. “Cover your ears.” My children raised their hands and did what she told them, covering their ears. “What took you so long?”“We can still hear you, Aunt Anya,” Selene giggled.She grinned. “You must have powerful ears,” she winked at them, putting her index finger to her mouth, gesturing them to keep quiet.“She did ten stitches on my finger,” I said, looking at Selene, hoping she would smile at me, too, but she lowered her gaze.“I’m sorry, Daddy,” Lyra He
(Sky’s POV)Sleeping in a small old bed was worse than waking up with a hangover, but when I saw my little angels walking and making noises in the early morning, this one was a treasure, much better than Frank’s or Catherine’s good news about the company hitting the goals.“Wake daddy up,” I heard Angela saying to one of our daughters.I groaned but smiled when two of my daughters dove into me as if I was a swimming pool. “Ugh!” I groaned. “I think they hit my -”“I hope not the -” Angela cut in worriedly.“Ribs,” I continued, smiling naughtily at her.She rolled her eyes at me. “That’s what I’m about to say, Sky. I hope not the ribs,” When she smiled, Leyanne and Lyra Helene giggled, pulling me up from the bed. “Don’t hurt Daddy. That’s my job,” she said, kissing Selene. “You all want to go to school today?” “Uh-huh! Uncle Dylan said Teacher Joy will teach us the spelling of words today,” Selene answered while her mother combed her hair.“Daddy,” Leyanne said, “Teacher Joy is a good
(Anj’s POV)One clear line. Another faint line.I swallowed hard as I closed my eyes. It was still early to conclude, but when I opened the cabinet and saw the unwrapped sanitary napkin, I realized I hadn’t had my monthly period, which was supposed to be this week.Maybe I was stressed or too anxious because of everything that had happened between Sky and me. Sweating, I threw the kit and washed my hand as I counted back the days when Sky and I started enjoying the pleasure of lovemaking and thought of instances when my beloved menstrual cycle had changed or been delayed, but I couldn’t think of one except when I got pregnant.My eyes blinked perhaps more than three times in a few seconds. For someone genius like me, when it comes to Sky, I become stupid.After inhaling and exhaling, I opened the door, startling Sky and me. He was about to knock when I opened the door, and I wasn’t expecting him to be there.“And?” His eyes were wide and expecting, although I wasn’t sure if he wanted
(Sky’s POV)Angela was lying on the couch across from where I was sitting. Since there was another entrance to Anya and Dylan’s office, she found it okay to enter their office not wearing proper clothes appropriately. She was wearing denim shorts and a pink V-neck cotton shirt, her head on the throw pillow, looking relaxed as she read the magazine.My eyes couldn’t take away from her face down to the perfect curve of her mounds. When she raised her hand to flip the page, my eyes flickered to her belly. Flat belly. I sighed, glancing at my smartphone when she looked my way, smiling wickedly as her mouth was busy sipping straw from a chocolate tetra pack she found in Anya’s office. She crossed her legs, and I almost groaned, wishing those legs would wrap my hips again as she arched her hips to me.I breathed out, focusing on Elenita’s message, asking me what time we were coming because Dad kept asking her. I raised my head when Dylan entered the office, causing me to narrow my eyes when
(Sky’s POV)“Daddy!”Three girls chimed in, already dressed in their pajamas; they ran to me as they saw me enter the family room. After Angela went to Dad’s bedroom to read him his favorite book, I had to go to the study room for an urgent meeting online.Elenita, although she asked Nina, who used to be Olivia’s nanny before, to bathe the kids, she was still there to check on them. She was in her usual seat, answering crossword puzzles while waiting for Olivia. She glanced at us, then returned to her own world of puzzles. It was much better than seeing her read horoscopes again.“Ready to do your homework?” I asked, flickering my eyes on Olivia, sitting on the floor as she does her homework in Math, and Finn relaxing on the couch. “Is the world going to end?” I smirked at Finn, finding him here in the Family room, not doing anything like watching the TV or playing video games. I had to get their worksheets from the bedroom and bring them to the kids.I sat on the egg chair while the
(Anj’s POV)I couldn’t sleep.I didn’t know what got into my big brain, or maybe it was my ego, that I wanted to annoy Sky. I got up from the bed, and the man I wanted to kill with irritation was not in the bedroom. He must have retreated somewhere to avoid me.My kids were still sleeping, but they were early risers like me, so I was sure they would wake up any minute. I climbed down from the bed and walked to the closet room to change before my children saw me in this funny but truly sexy night dress.I chose a pair of shirts and shorts, but before putting them on, I looked at my reflection in his large mirror.“Hold in there, buddy,” I whispered, groping on my flat belly. “No one’s running away this time. We need the daddy this time to help us.” I heaved a sigh and put on my clothes.As expected, my three girls were awake when I left the closet room.“Good morning! How’s your sleep?” I asked, sitting on the edge of the bed, as they all came to me and embraced me.“Mommy,” Leyanne st
(Anj’s POV)“I’m not accepting it. It’s final.”I walked around the fountain, glancing at my kids eating breakfast with their father and uncle, while I nervously paced with Nitro following me, thinking we were playing Trip to Jerusalem.“I understand,” Anya said, then she hissed. “It’s negative,” she yelled, causing me to move farther from my phone.“You don’t have to yell,” I laughed at her.“He’s annoying me, wanting to see the kit,” she said. “Wait, let’s do a video call. I want to see the cute monkeys.” She ended the call, and a few seconds later, she did a video call. “Woah! You’re in paradise, Angela!” She exclaimed, seeing the roses behind me.“More like a gateway to hell, Anya,” I smirked and turned my camera to my children. I had to zoom the camera so she would see them.“Ooohhh,” she moaned. “Having breakfast with the yummy Daddy and handsome Uncle Finn,” she laughed. “Where’s the grandpa?”“In his bedroom,” I answered.“Return the camera to you, Anj. The annoying man here w
