N/B: "Cara" Is not a grammatical error or mistake. It's an endearment. A name given to someone borne out of love/affection. It translates to 'Dear/Darling/Beloved/Loved One'. I've been seeing a lot of comments where people say i mix up Hera/Cara. Nope, i did not. Bryce calls her Cara as an endearment. It's the same thing as when a man calls his lover 'Baby/Princess/Sweetheart' and the rest. I hope i was able to clear this up. Thank you for reading!
"Would you let me Cara?" He repeated with a gruff voice like someone who has been starved for a very long time but Hera remained silent. She didn't understand why he kept on asking her to go on. They had already come this far and if she didn't want him to go on, she would've stopped him a long time ago."I told you I want to savor you. Memorize you and brand you." He only uttered a soft but strained chuckle. "But i won't go further unless you tell me to."She kissed his forehead. "You can Bryce. You can go further. I'm not planning on stopping you." She encouraged."In this I will have my way. We'll just see how long you can hold out." Hera had since lost control over her body where he was concerned, and strangely, she didn't mourn the loss.He pressed his erection against her and she gasped. She rubbed her chest against his, urging him on. He moaned and bit into her collarbone. His hands were everywhere, all over her. Every so often he paused to simply look at her, or to whisper erot
Bryce was all smiles as he made his way over to work later in the day. He wanted nothing more than to stay indoors with Hera all through the day but sadly, he got an urgent call from his office concerning an important work that needed his attention.At first he didn't want to but Hera had forced him, pleaded with him to go ahead and handle it but he had promised to get back home as soon as he could. He was only here for formality sake and because he wanted to respect her wishes. She'd get upset with him if he didn't and for the life in him, he didn't want that. The last thing he wanted to do was getting on her bad side.Doris helped to set up everything he needed for the day's work and he couldn't wait to finish up on time so that he could go back home to Hera as quickly as possible."Would you like me to get you anything sir?" Doris had asked after setting up everything that he needed to continue.He waved her off. "No. You can go and don't let anyone in until i ask you too. I want t
"How long? How long have you um..." Nella trailed off with a sudden laugh that shocked her. Her eyes were misty and it's only a matter of time before the floodgates of tears broke and plummeted down her face like waves. "This woman, how long have you... since when did you realize that you were in love with her?""That's not important Nella and you know that." He lets her down easily, not because he didn't want to tell her but because he didn't see the point to it. He had already hurt her badly with this news and speaking more on the subject will only aggravate and make things worse. "You're one of my best friends and that's the only reason I'm telling you this. It just can't work between us anymore.""So, this is it? For both of us?" She persisted, hoping that he would at least change his mind or tell her that he was joking to say to the least. She wanted so badly for this to be a dream, a very horrible dream that she would wake up from when it's all over but standing here looking at
Hera gently tapped on the keys to Bryce's laptop as she tried to figure out and navigate her way through the website. She had asked him for it and after trying to figure out what she needed it for countless times, he had given up and had no other choice but to give it to her.He had even suggested trying to help her with whatever she wanted to use it for but she only asked him to teach her how to use a search engine and after that, she didn't say anything more. She ended their conversation with saying that she would do it herself.Each time he walked in on her using it, she shut it down and discarded it completely covering all traces of whatever she was up to online. Somehow it bothered him. Was she trying to hide something away from him or was she planning not to let him figure it out at all. Well, since she wouldn't let him know what it is, he won't pry or force her to tell him even though it was eating at his curiosity."Maybe she was texting Ben." He had thought to himself repeate
Three months.That's how long it has been since Hera had that conversation with Bryce and since then, there had been a lot of changes. True to his words, he had helped her. He didn't judge her as much as she had thought he would and was very kind enough to show her the ropes of how everything was done.He was very patient with her even though she made a lot of mistakes. Now while he was busy with work, she was taking lessons and he helped her in any way that he could.Christina on the other hand was also making significant progress. She was taking her lessons very seriously and if all goes well then she'd be writing her final exams to get prepared for college. Hera made sure to speak to her whenever she had the chance to. Christina was smart and Hera was very confident that her sister would definitely ace her papers.She had always been the brain of the family. Not like Hera was bad herself. She knew that her sister would go through any length to finish strong because asides her, she
Oh God!Those were the first words that escaped from Hera's lips followed by a tiny gasp as she stared at the test strip in her hands which had visible bold red lines on it. Mariam had bought it for her and had shown her what to do and how to use it. She had wished that what Mariam had told her before was not true but here it was in her hands in plain red.She was pregnant. She was carrying Bryce's child.She couldn't help the tears that clouded her vision before dropping off her cheeks like twin rivers. What would she do now? How does she explain this to him? What would he even say about this?"Hera are you okay in there my child?" Mariam's voice came from outside the door. The more she called out to her, the more she couldn't stop the tears from falling. Bryce would hate her."Please come out Hera so that we can figure something out." The older woman pleaded desperately when she heard the subdued sniffs and hiccups that came from inside the bathroom. She didn't need a soothsayer to
She would leave. Hera thought to herself as she watched Bryce sleep peacefully that night, draped in his arms just like he did like every other night.That was the only solution to this problem. She wouldn't stay and she definitely wouldn't wait for him to find out and get angry at her. This is what's best for everyone. Maybe she'd tell him about it when she was somewhere safe, somewhere he couldn't reach her so that she wouldn't have to deal with his anger should in case he snaps. In the meantime, she just had to figure out a way to get out of here and quickly.Pulling herself away from Bryce's arms, she slowly made her way outside the bedroom and down the stairs to the living room. She walked out to the balcony at the left wing of the house and stood there, thinking.Too many things were at stake and she doesn't know exactly how to handle it. Wrapping her hands instinctively around her stomach, she threw her face out the open sky. Was this the biggest test of her life? There's no wa
Hera had mixed feelings seeing Nella standing in front of her. Why was she here? Her mind told her that it was one of two things. It was either she came looking for Bryce or Bryce had asked her to come. She didn't want to believe in the latter because he would never do that to her. He had promised that he wouldn't hurt her so there's no way he would invite her here or did he? "Hera right?" Nella had asked and Hera only nodded, wondering how she knew her name because if she recalled properly, they've never really had a proper one on one conversation and they've never crossed paths. Did Bryce tell Nella about her perhaps? "Where's your boss?" She had asked and Hera was tight-lipped. She doesn't really address him as her boss anymore and she doesn't know how to tell her that. For the longest of time, she called him by his name as he had requested and it had remained so since then. "Bryce isn't at home." Nella arched a brow at her, stunned. Since when did Bryce agree to formality betw
