Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to talk about him helping me meet someone, but that shouldn't be enough to piss him off at the same time."It's obviously a joke," I said looking around, at this point, the stares are beginning to piss me off "Did you bring me here because you want to show people about your lovely marriage? The stares are not even subtle" I Said unable to hide my uneasiness, he paused to love around "If so I haven't been doing my part, I mean I am supposed to put on an act like we are in love""I did not bring you here to put on an act, Luna," He said rolling his eyes "I choose this location because I own it, and none of your pictures will be outside, because taking photos is forbidden, what exactly are you talking about?""Oh" I exclaimed taken aback "You talk about being a friend but you act exactly the opposite," he said, I am honestly offended, what he spoke of is a lie, I do no such thing."Seems to me you do not like dates"He said my surprise "I brought you her
...I woke up in a very light mood, I guess the recipe for happy mornings is happy nights, without washing my face I immediately took long strides to his room, I seriously have no idea what I was going there to do or talk about when I see him.As I opened the door and saw the bed laid, I felt a tinge of sadness, I totally forgot just how early he leaves for work, "Good morning" I heard the voice of Cecilia, she gave me a knowing smile, perhaps thinking I slept in Max's room "Good morning, did you see him leave for work?" I asked while she shook her head in disapproval "Maybe he left as early as 5 or 6, and we have to be awake by 7 so as to b done by 9" she explained "Oh," I replied going back to the room while she followed me behind I picked up my phone, a bit skeptical if I should call him or text him, I mean I just feel like it, a message popped in Immediately taking me by surprise, it was from him."I might be late but you can drop by the office if you want to" the message rea
...I walked off in furry, unable to think, all I felt like doing was crying, even felt like throwing up, I walked so fast I didn't even look and almost ran into someone."Hey!" I heard someone calling after me, "What?" I turned keeping my tears in, and there she was, the same girl I saw in an embrace with him, she looked nothing like me, I could perceive her perfume, it was nothing like mine, her luscious ginger hair nothing like mine, and her impeccable bright blue eyes like Max's own, she was breathtaking, I am absolutely below her class."Hi you are Luna, right?" she asked while I just stared at her wondering why she followed me "I am seraphina" At the mention of her name, all the sparks in my body went off, I have heard that name before, she was the girl they said was his love "I heard you are married," she said while I still remained quiet, slightly intimidated but not one to scare me "I have been meaning to see you, but it seems like nobody could get in touch with you," she
...His hands continued to go lower as I held my breath excepting whatever he was bringing, I inhaled sharply biting my lips in an attempt to stop myself from closing my eyes "Don't do that" his tone changed so did his grip tightened as he easily lifted me off my feet "What are you doing?" I asked with panic as I found myself on top of the desk casually in the room "What me to show you want else you a tie with this?" he asked showing me the tie "What are you planning to do to me? Stop it" I said half-heartedly "Your mouth is saying another but your eyed is saying another "Oh please," I said throwing to tie away "Why would you do that, is a shame I wanted to show you something," he said raising my head with just a single finger, his finger begin to travel down from my neck and so did my breathing quicken, it got to my breast and paused, the deep v line showing my shoulders and cleavage, of course, his eyes were on them.He was resisting touching them, something was holding him b
...The evening shadows stretched across the room as Max returned, his face etched with a deep frown. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of him, a mixture of relief and worry flooding my senses. But the relief was short-lived as his hurried movements indicated a sense of urgency, a need to be somewhere else, anywhere but here."Max," I called out, my voice laced with concern. "What happened? Are you okay?"He glanced at me, his eyes filled with a mix of frustration and something else—something I couldn't quite decipher. Without a word, he brushed past me, his footsteps echoing down the hallway. The silence that followed his departure hung heavy in the air, suffocating me with a sense of dread.I couldn't let him leave without an explanation. I hurried after him, desperation fueling my steps. "Max, please, talk to me! What's going on?"He turned abruptly, his face contorted with anger. "Luna, it's none of your business! Can't you understand that?" His voice carried an edge, cutting t
...As Hervey's break finished and she went back to work it was time for me to head back home, I wouldn't want Max to return home by chance and realize I wasn't home.As Cecilia and I made our way home, heading to the bus stop, our footsteps heavy with the weight of unanswered questions, a sudden appearance shattered the somber atmosphere. Seraphina emerged seemingly out of nowhere, a smug smile playing on her lips. My heart sank at the sight of her, a foreboding sense of unease settling in the pit of my stomach.I thought she was gone but apparently not, why does everybody live so close by in the city and keep running into each other, I thought the city is such a big place, and the chances of meeting people were slim."Why aren't you at the hospital with Max and his mother?" Seraphina's voice dripped with a mix of mockery and satisfaction. "Or perhaps Max's mother doesn't want you around. After all, you're nothing more than a fake in their lives, aren't you?"I stood frozen, my mind
...I finished my meal, a sense of contentment lingering in my belly. As I made my way towards my room, a creaking sound resonated from downstairs—the front door being forcefully opened. My heart skipped a beat, and a sinking feeling washed over me. I knew that sound all too well. Max was back.I paused on the stairs, my hand gripping the banister tightly. Dread coursed through my veins as I braced myself for what was to come. There was no mistaking the anger in his footsteps as they grew closer. I held my breath, hoping against hope that he wouldn't notice me. That way I can not talk to him ease I break down again.But my hopes were dashed as he rounded the corner, his face contorted with rage. His eyes locked onto mine, and the intensity of his gaze sent a chill down my spine. Without a word, he stormed towards me, his grip like a vise as he seized my hand.Pain shot through me as he pulled me forcefully, dragging me along the hallway towards his room. I stumbled, struggling to keep
...(Max's pov)I tossed and turned in bed, the weight of restlessness pressing down on me like an invisible force. Sleep eluded me, and my mind raced with thoughts that refused to be silenced. In the stillness of the night, I grappled with the belief that everything I was doing was right.Why was it so hard to get along with her, why is she being so stubborn, what could be suffocating about staying in my house, or perhaps it was just the thought that it was mine that she hated, what is hard in being obedience and not need to know to why.The recent turn of events had only served to reinforce my conviction. My mother's deteriorating health weighed heavily on my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of responsibility toward her. The burden of caring for her had become personal, a duty that I believed only I could fulfill. I can not believe my mother has been ill for a while now and I know nothing about it, she hides it from me, a sickness as heavy as cancer, she was my respo
(Luna)Just How long has it been? I have long stopped counting. Just kidding, it's been ages and I am no longer pregnant. Max and I were in for a lot of shock when the twins were born.We intentionally never went and asked for the gender but we were sure at the scanning all we saw was one baby. Even without expecting it, we were the happiest.My two beautiful angels, they still look nothing like me though, although Mother assured me they would pick up my features as they grow up. Speaking of Mother, I meant Max's mother, I am still working on the relationship with my mother. It did break me at a point, when I realized I myself was one of a twin. I couldn't remain neutral after learning that I was a twin and sadly she is no more. And both she and my father robbed me of the opportunity to bond with her. Not even once did I get to see her, neither did she know of my existence and you might have guessed who my twin was.... Yes, Lucy. The same Lucy Sabastine was in love with was my tw
(The End)"You love me?" was all I could muster as an overwhelming rush of happiness slowly seeped into my entire body. He was talking but all I could see was his mouth moving as his voice faded.It was an out-of-body experience as I tried to stand still, resisting myself from jumping up and down from joy."Say something please," I heard him say with a wild smile across my face."I don't know what to say" I answered truthfully as my cheeks continued to hit up."So does this change your answer?" he asked, attempting to hold my hands, his hands trembling as I held his sweaty hands. His gaze was mesmerizing. How come I didn't see all of this? It was all in front of me. Perhaps I hold him in such a high place that I think it's not possible for a man like him to feel something like love."You are Nervous," I said as he smiled awkwardly."Perhaps I am," he replied as I looked around again."You prepared all of this with Hervey?" I asked. All this while he went out with Hervey thi
I stood with my jaw on the floor, utterly stunned by the beautifully decorated scene before me. The backyard had been transformed into a romantic haven, with soft fairy lights hanging from the trees, flowers adorning the tables, and a cozy dining area for two set under a canopy.Slowly, my lips curled up into a smile as I took in the breathtaking sight. It was a vision of romance and thoughtfulness that took my breath away. I couldn't believe my eyes."Max?" I called him, taking a step forward looking around.As I tried to process this enchanting setup, my heart raced with anticipation. It felt like a dream, a fantasy brought to life in the most delightful way. The air was filled with a gentle breeze, and the ambiance was so perfect that it seemed almost surreal.Turning to Max, I couldn't contain my excitement. "What's happening?" I asked, my voice filled with a mixture of joy and disbelief. "Did you just set up a date for us in your own backyard?""Our backyard," he corrected, his e
...The sound of birds chirping became clearer as I slowly opened my eyes, I stretched my hand searching for a as I opened my eyes. He wasn't lying beside me.Slowly I rose from bed, scratching my eyes a bit disappointed that Mac wasn't in the room. I sat down watching the clock trying to figure out just for how long I had slept.The door swung open as I peeked forward to see Max enter with his back, a bit confused I watched waiting for him to turn around before I figured out he was carrying with him a tray of food. "Max," I called him with a smile as he approached."You are awake now?" he said, dropping the tray by the side as I looked to see what it was. Oatmeal with fresh berries and nuts."You wanted to surprise you," he said sitting by the bed with a smile on his face, I couldn't stop smiling as I looked at the food."Breakfast in bed?" I asked while he nodded proud of himself."You don't like it? " he asked, his voice carrying a hint of concern as he stared at me. "I made it wi
....I sat beneath a delicate canopy in the garden, surrounded by a riot of vibrant flowers that swayed gently in the breeze. The scent of blooms, sweet and intoxicating, enveloped me in a fragrant embrace. The dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves overhead, casting a warm and comforting glow.It was a serene haven, a sanctuary of nature's beauty. Each flower seemed to tell a story, its petals a canvas of colors that whispered tales of growth and resilience. Bees and butterflies danced from one bloom to another, their delicate movements adding to the garden's lively symphony.As I sat there, my fingers trailed along the soft petals of a nearby blossom, feeling the delicate texture beneath my touch. The world beyond this tranquil space seemed to fade away, leaving me with a profound sense of peace and contentment.The gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, the chirping of birds in the distance, and the soft hum of nature's chorus became a soothing soundtrack to my thoughts. In t
...."We can come along," Harrison said as I stood by the door smiling as they all came outside to escort me."No, you are not coming along Harrison," Max said sharply at him while I chuckled."I hope it's a girl," Hervey commented, smiling as she stared at my tummy. Even without mentioning it to her she already knew that I was pregnant. By surprise in Harrison's eyes, it was obvious they knew nothing about it even Cecilia immediately looked at my tummy."Let's go," Max said, holding my hand as he led me to the car."I'm so sorry, I had no idea they were coming," he apologized while I shook my head."No I don't mind, I like them," I said as he frowned. Pouting his lips."They are friends and your family," I said as he nodded."They will stress you, especially Harrison," he said while I smiled."Am not stressed at all I like that they are here, your house is too big and enough to hold in more people, they would be of good company," I said "Am I not a good company?" he asked as I let o
I stood in the shower, the warm water cascading down my back like a gentle waterfall. The feeling of the water against my skin was pure bliss, and for the first time in a long while, I was in a remarkably good mood.I tilted my head back, letting the water drench my hair. As I ran my hand through the wet strands, I could feel the tension of the past days slowly melting away. The sensation of the water rushing over me was like a soothing balm, washing away the weight of the past and leaving me feeling refreshed and renewed.With each stroke of my fingers through my hair, I pushed the water backward, reveling in the simple pleasure of the shower. It was a moment of solitude and self-care, a reminder that life had its moments of serenity and tranquility.As the water continued to envelop me, I closed my eyes, savoring the warmth and the sense of well-being that it brought. The worries and uncertainties of the past were momentarily forgotten, and in that instant, all that mattered was the
...The strong hand across my chest wasn't bulging no matter how many times I stirred in my sleep probably waking him up countless times but he held me close making me use his other hand as a pillow.The sunlight has illuminated the room, it was morning already and my eyes hadn't opened to a dream or even worse a nightmare. Rather, the warm embrace and sweet smile from my man. Perhaps I am being too forward by calling him my man. But for as long as I am beside him. He is my man.My eyes couldn't leave his face as still was deep in his sleep, his eyes shut closed as I slowly raised his arm making him lay flat with his two hands spread on the bed.My eyes marveled at how tanned he had gotten with nice veins running all the way from his shoulder to his hands. I have never noticed this many details in his body. I cupped his chest sizing it to my small breast. If he continues to work out he might become my competition soon in the department of chest area.Slowly I began to notice the tiny
My breath hitched as I struggled to catch my breath. For some reason, the minty breath from him drove me insane as my hands traveled around my body roaming in the right places.Foggy, dizzy, lightheaded I couldn't stand still as my knees buckled. Finally, I ruffled his hair, and slowly his pacing began rougher and more urgent. As his tongue fluttered against mine. His hand pulled me closer and closer. No matter how much he pulled it felt like it was never going to be enough. If it were possible I wish to be inside him. Inside his skin.His cold body has turned warm in a minute, vulnerable I felt in his arms, the warmth from his body comforting like a safe coven.Pausing to catch my breath I couldn't control myself as I nibbled on his chin before I could stop myself. He nibbled on my ears, moving to my very sensitive neck. Again our faces apart as I stared at him my eyes barely opened."You feel so good," he murmured as I stared mesmerized."Just how long has it been, I have longed so
