(Anj’s POV)A cluster of clouds covered the perfect blue sky, and the wind kissing my skin promised a heavy rain later. As I sat on the wooden bench, facing the manmade river by the park, I realized how time had changed this place since Dylan, Anya, and I would go here after school. When Dylan told me we would talk here, only now that I had thought of bringing the kids here. They would be excited to hear stories about why we usually stay here and how our friendship bloomed like the flowers in the park.My eyebrows raised as Dylan sat beside me and gave me the paper bucket of Chinese food he had ordered for us. “And?” I asked him. He hadn’t said anything yet, but he knew what I was talking about.“You, first. How are you after yesterday? It was one hell of a day experiencing everything at once as if the ‘divine agency’ was in a hurry to end your life,” he said as he gave me chopsticks.My mouth made a downturn shape. “I guess I was too confident telling Sky I wanted the position. You
(Anj’s POV)Frank glanced at me and his wristwatch when I yawned. I was on the couch, and the documents Sky asked me to study were piled on the center table, making it easier for me to take one folder while sitting. When I returned, the folders were no longer on his table but piled and carefully labeled according to year and title.I was just beginning, but I already felt tired even though I had taken an hour nap with the children. Maybe it was the time I spent reading with Steve or the playtime with the girls before going to bed which exhausted me.When Elenita told me Sky was still working, I went to the study room and found him reading a report Catherine had sent him. “You looked tired already, Anj. Why don’t you take a rest? Just so you know, I have no plans of taking these files with me,” teased Frank as he got ready to leave.I chuckled. “I’ll wait for the boss.” I puckered my lips, pointing at Sky. “He might need something.”“That man doesn’t sleep, Anj.” He half-smiled and l
(Anj’s POV)I chuckled, wishing Sky would let go of me so I could see his face. “Yes, but I told you I won’t beg, right?”He sat on the couch and sat me on his lap, but not facing him. He wrapped his arms around my body and planted a kiss on my nape. My body shivered from his kiss. “Can you reach that folder for me?” He said, pointing at the blue folder Frank placed on the table before he left.I leaned forward to reach the folder, but I smiled when I felt his manhood getting hard again, and as I sat back, I moaned when his member penetrated slowly inside me again.“Open it, pumpkin,” He confused me. Which one? The folder or my legs?“You’re adorable, Sky,” I said, hissing at the delicious feeling and finding the pleasure as I moved my hips slowly up and down. “Which one?” I voiced out my thoughts. “This folder or my legs?”His hands grazed on the skin of my arms and the tips of his fingers, reaching and touching the stiffed peaks of my breasts. It was making me crazy.“Don’t drop t
(Anj’s POV)When my eyelids opened, I was surprised to be alone in the bed. I groaned, feeling my entire body sore from last night. Smiling, I got up and had a long bath before leaving the bedroom and looking for my children.I found them in the family room, sitting on the couch as if they were adults talking about the Insects documentary they were watching on the TV.“Good morning!” I sat on the couch and embraced my girls, but I could not help noticing the name tags pinned on their clothes. “Hmm… What’s with the name tags?”“You don’t expect me to know your girls’ names right away, Angela,” answered Elenita, coming to the room with another maid, bringing sandwiches and milk. “Here’s for Leyanne, Lyra Helene, and Selene.”I pursed my lips, raising my eyebrows at my daughters. “Girls,” I shook my head, showing them it was not good to confuse other people.“Sorry, Mommy. Sorry, Elenita,” Leyanne giggled, taking off the ‘Selene’ name tag on her shirt. The others followed, putting on the
(Anj’s POV)“Why can’t we go with you?” I asked again, following him in his seat, looking like my daughters wanting to get an answer from him right away.After I ignored Anya and Dylan, as if wanting to give me privacy but couldn’t leave, they went to the farthest part of the study room and pretended to be busy talking about the books stacked on the shelves.“Because this isn’t a leisure trip, Anj,” he answered without looking at me. “Frank, email me the file,” he said to his secretary.“Sure,” I heard him answer.I turned my back on him, not wanting to sound like a nagging wife, and returned to my seat and read the next part of my readings. If this business trip has something to do with the recalled automotive products, it would mean Leonard Johnsons would be there, and Steve told me last night in passing that Lalaine would sometimes represent her father in the meetings. Lalaine and Sky.My eyes darted to Sky, giving him a dagger look as jealousy hit me, but when he turned in my dir
(Anj’s POV)After Dylan saw me looking exhausted in the study room a while ago, he decided for him and Anya to leave early and promised to come later. Knowing him, I didn’t know how Sky convinced him to stay for a week with us, but I didn’t ask anymore. I have plenty on my plate now, but without Sky around, I was not in the mood to study, not even wanting to touch the folder.Sky just left to meet Dr. Greene, and when the kids came back from checking on the puppies and playing with Finn’s other dogs, Olivia asked her nieces if they wanted to join her swimming. I was sitting on the chaise lounge, watching them have fun on the water as Olivia patiently taught them how to swim, when Nina went to me.“Angela,” called Nina.I turned my head to her and smiled. “Yes, Nina?”“Umm… Someone’s looking for you, but the guards didn’t let her in. It was Mr. Mars’ order, but Miss Lalaine said she wanted to talk to you.”My eyebrows knitted, thinking for a while if it would be wise to meet Lalaine, b
(Sky’s POV)“Olivia, calm down!” I breathed out, feeling glad I was with a doctor, so I was sure somebody would help me immediately if I had a heart attack. My heart was perfectly fine until she started crying on the phone, telling me about Lalaine and Angela, and that was it. I could not understand a thing she said.“Anj is fine, Sky,” Finn took the phone from her. “I didn’t know what came into her big brain, letting her in. Now Olivia and Nina are crying.”“Nina?” My forehead creased, thinking if my brother was talking about the same Nina at home. “Nina? As in Olivia’s nanny?” I asked as I looked at David, kneeling and lighting a candle in front of Eve’s tombstone. I walked a few steps away to give him moments with her.Finn chuckled. “Elenita told Nina you’d fire her.” I heard Olivia crying hard. “It wasn’t entirely her fault. Anj said to let her in, but damn, brother! You should have seen her. Wow! Angela in action!”I wrinkled my nose, trying to hold my patience, but to whom I di
(Anj’s POV)My lips curved a smile, but I bet Sky found it creepy since what my eyes said differed from the smile plastered on my lips. If he did not come with Dr. Greene, I wanted to confront him about what Lalaine told me. Although I knew she was only bluffing, still, I could not help feeling mad and jealous about it.They came in time for dinner, and in this place, it seemed this meal was vital for them as they were all here unless any of Steve’s children had important tasks to do at work or school. At the dinner table, with Dr. Greene sitting across from Leyanne, my daughter was gaping at her.“Are you really a doctor?” she asked, causing Dr. Greene to smile. She only nodded and focused again on her food.“Why did you ask?” He threw a glance at her and then at me.“I want to be a doctor when I grow up, but not with pets and insects, but I want to help people, just like Grandma Jocelyn and mommy,” she explained.I leaned on my side. “Mommy’s not a doctor, baby,” I corrected, my fac
