AylaI sat on Kaleb's leather couch on one of the balconies of his home, a bowl of chicken broth on the table in front of me. He had driven me to a house on Sedberry Road, only a few minutes from the heart of Nashville. As I looked over the garden, I wondered whether I was humane because I felt nothing after losing the pregnancy."Hey," Kaleb joined me, a laptop in his hand."Hi," I smiled briefly, his presence alone affecting my moods positively. He had been on an online meeting for hours, leaving me to my thoughts, until I decided to step out to the balcony."How are you?" he asked for the umpteenth time, looking at me as if searching my eyes.I looked at him, like really looked at him, wondering what he saw in me. Kaleb wasn’t like Roman; yes, they shared the same blood, but that’s where the similarities ended. Where Roman was selfish, Kaleb was selfless and stood by me. Roman made me feel small and useless, but Kaleb took me under his wing and went as far as making use of my busin

Kaleb"Where the fuck is my wife?" Roman barged inside my office, his wild eyes landing on me. I had already picked up Ayla's purse and had replied to some pending emails that she wasn't able to attend."She is not picking my calls, and I know you carried her out of the building." I just stood in the middle of my office, carrying my briefcase as I looked at him unravel.He stepped forward, his shoulders square and hands bawled into fists. I was slightly taller than him, so he had to tilt his neck just slightly to look at me in the face. "I will not ask you again," he paused, the upper corner of his mouth twitching, then continued, "Where did you take my wife?"I didn't flinch as he sneered; instead, I let out a low, biting laugh, then asked, "Wife?"I added another laugh that lingered in the air, shaking my head at his pathetic trial in intimidating me."I will forward the results of the online meeting I attended earlier; I expect your feedback by tomorrow." I sidestepped him, avoidin

Ayla'I swear I left the glass of milk in the sink,' I grumbled inside my temporary bedroom, my hand on my stomach, with my index finger tapping on it."Can I come in?" The nurse's voice carried through the wall, faint but unmistakable.""Yes, please," I breathed, pressing my hand harder on my belly when a sharp discomfort spread round to my back."It's time for your medicine. The last thing we want is for you to be unable to get sleep because of pain," the nurse who had told me that her name was Penelope said as she balanced the small tray with one hand and nudged the door shut with the other."I appreciate it. The pain had subsided, but now I can feel it increasing every minute," I admitted, closing my eyes as another knot formed in my pelvis."You're feeling the mild pain right now because the painkillers in your bloodstream have worn off. It will go away within a day or two as your uterus returns to its normal size," she explained, opening the sealed water bottle."I hope so; I re

Kaleb Three days had gone by since Ayla's miscarriage, and still we didn't have evidence. I kept on pushing Ayla to get the tests done, but it was like she had given up already. Something about Marise's behaviour was rubbing me the wrong way, and I truly felt that she knew something had been put in the food. All she needed was a little coercion to spit the truth, so if Ayla would remain adamant about being tested, then I would turn my attention to the nanny. "What are you thinking about?" Ayla asked, nodding at the chef as he walked into the sitting area in the backyard, a tray in his hands. "Just work," I lied, then greeted my chef. He was good at what he did, so much so that when I missed good meals I'd just sleep at the Sedberry home. "Thank you," Ayla spoke after he finished serving us brunch, a genuine smile on her face. I was relieved that she looked emotionally okay, despite what she was going through. "You're lying," Ayla stated, sitting up slowly. I noticed a small scrun

AylaI was walking down the staircase to the living room when I heard commotion outside on the patio. I strained to hear what was happening over the sound of my flip flops as they came into contact with the floor."Where the fuck is she? I know she is here!" I managed to hear Roman's voice when I rounded the living room into the small hallway that led to the front door."Leave my property, Roman, before I get your ass hauled out." Kaleb replied, his voice surprisingly calm."I am not going anywhere until you give me back, my fucking wife!" I chose that moment to pull the door open and step out, my eyes zeroing in on Roman."Give back?" I asked, closing the door behind me."I knew you were here, babe." He tried to walk towards me, but Kaleb blocked him, squaring his shoulders as if daring him to take one more step."I asked you a question, Roman, what exactly do you mean by 'give me back my fucking wife.' Huh?" I walked slowly towards him, lifting my eyebrows, waiting for an answer."Y

Kaleb "Don't listen to that son of a bitch. We both know he lies all the time," I replied, itching to put a distance between us. "Are you going to tell me or not?" she insisted, raising her eyebrows. "And don't think I forgot your proposal about wanting me to become your escort," she added. "I never said that." I closed my eyes, running my index finger and thumb across the eyelids as I pinched them gently. "But you insinuated it," she waved her right hand on my face. "I am not denying that I have had agreements with escort companies in the past. It was my way of having fun with women who have been tested while also providing a job for them." I tried explaining. "They were sisters and mothers to somebody!" She shouted, shaking her head at me as she headed for the backdoor. I followed behind her, my eyebrows raised as I swiped my palms over my face. "I didn't force them; it was a win for them and for me. Most of these women are professional models who work as escorts for specific

Ayla The intensity of Kaleb's smouldering gaze and the weight of his admission made me shift on the cushion. I couldn't control my heartbeat as it accelerated or my eyes as I looked at Kaleb intently. I was aware of the silence that surrounded us in the courtyard, save for the sounds of the birds chirping. "It has been you since I laid my eyes on you, baby," Kaleb whispered, getting up from the chair slowly. I forgot how to breathe as he sat beside me, taking me back to earlier that day. "I... I don't know what to say," I voiced softly, taking in a deep breath when his knee brushed mine. "I need you to say something, Ayla, anything," he said under his breath, looking at me as if I were the only person that mattered to him. The atmosphere was thick and heavy with cackling energy and unexplored desire. Kaleb moved closer, making my pulse quicken as he turned my head and held my gaze. I could feel electricity between us, not once taking his eyes off me. "I feel like I have known yo

KalebTwo weeks couldn't have gone by as quick as they did with Ayla's constant company. She had resumed work and was doing well assisting Randolf in the finance department. Roman had managed to stay away from her, and so did my mother and Danica. We had gone back to the mansion but kept our interactions on the low. Danica had managed to lie to my mother about her boyfriend by the look of things. "Remember that we are heading out early to go prepare for our flight tomorrow," I reminded Ayla, who was busy behind her computer, scrunching her face as she stared at the screen."I just need a few more hours to finish sending back these signed documents to the respective departments," she responded without looking up, her left index finger and thumb on her chin."Why don't you take a break? You've been typing for hours. I can have someone else do that." I leaned over the counter, trying to get her to look at me."You just stepped out of your office since morning, and you are one to talk."

Kaleb"Is it possible that Roman knows we are onto him?" I asked Dean as we waited by the diversion from the mansion that led to the highway for Roman."Chill, dude. It's only 10 minutes past 11," Dean scoffed, tapping on the steering wheel of his Mercedes S-class."Fine." I exhaled deeply, my eyes on the road."You should tell her," Dean spoke after a minute or so of silence, staring right ahead."Huh?" I shifted on the seat."Ayla, she deserves to know about Amanda and the child. She will not stop looking until she finds out who's texting her; we both know that," he carefully stated, his voice low."You think I don't know that?" I pinched the bridge of my nose just as Roman's BMW zoomed past at a high speed."There we go, told you he'd come." Dean followed him at a distance into the highway, making sure not to lose sight of him.It didn't take long before he veered off the main road into a dirt road that had trees on either side. There was no sign of any homes or cars, just the soun

Ayla"Hi Ayla," Marise greeted, eyeing the grocery bag with the bedsheets in my hands. I had retrieved it from the servant quarters and was taking them to Kaleb's wing, praying deep down that they could find traces of Rex DNA. I was glad that I held on to them safely for years, clinging onto the smallest hope for justice."How are you?" Marise added, blocking my way."I heard you the first time, okay?" I snapped, sizing her up and down."And I am not in the mood to converse with a traitor. Or has Danica asked you to spy on me?" I raised my brows in question, biting an insult when she lowered her eyes to the ground. "I would never do that," she muttered, shifting on her feet."I know it's Danica who laced my food and milk with abortion drugs, but she doesn't cook. So that leaves only you in the middle of it, Marise. You knew very well what was in that meal when you brought it to me." I paused, as I remembered how good I was to her when I moved into the mansion."You could have done th

Kaleb"You can't go in there, sir," Roman's secretary shot up from her desk as I approached Roman's office, making me raise a brow.I didn't pay any mind to her, just barged in, my hands itching to strangle Roman for daring to step into my wing to attack Ayla. Who was she to instruct me on what to do? Upon entry, Roman's eyes snapped to me as he mentioned something about an unfamiliar name—Aldrich Rivers—and I swear I saw a flicker of fear in his eyes. There was a man standing beside his chair, looking intently at Roman's laptop screen, a man I had never seen before."Give us a minute," he spoke in a low voice, nodding at the man."Yes, boss," the stranger replied in a raspy, deep voice, then stepped out without looking at me. Referring to Roman as boss had my eyebrows squinting, and I could tell that whatever the two were up to was not good."Didn't my secretary tell you that you can't come in?" Roman asked, raising his head as he leaned on the back of his chair. "Yes, she did, but

AylaI clung onto Kaleb like my life depended on it, my eyes shut as sparks of pleasure and pain spread from my pussy to my entire body."Look at me," he instructed, my eyes flying open when he pulled out, then slammed right back in, pressing me up against the window."Oh fuck," I moaned, my clit throbbing further, demanding attention."Hands on the glass." He pulled out and turned me around, making me place my hands on the wall. I could see the busy streets of Nashville below, buzzing with the movement of people and vehicles, hiking my adrenaline."You like that? Watching people as I fuck you?" Kaleb rasped, gripping my hip with one hand, snaking the other one between my legs."Ye-s," I let out in a breathless whisper, throwing my head back when his hand found my pulsating clit.He began rubbing at the same pace as his strokes, making me bite my lower lip as pleasure intensified. I could feel every stroke, going deeper than the other, stretching me to the maximum."Take it, Ayla, all

Kaleb"Did something happen yesterday while I was out?" I asked Ayla, looking at her closely. She had kept to herself the entire drive to the office, pretending to be on the phone."Nothing happened," she murmured, staring past me."Are you sure? You don't look okay to me. You know you can talk to me about anything, right?" I insisted, hoping that she hadn't discovered about Amanda and the child."I know, and I said nothing happened," she snapped, then turned and covered her face with her hands."Baby, calm down," I soothed, closing the distance between us and going around her counter. Her office was almost ready, and I couldn't wait for her to start handling bigger financial matters for the company."I want to be alone," she muttered as I pulled her out of her chair and wrapped my arms around her. She resisted for seconds before finally she settled and started shaking."You can tell me what's wrong when you are ready. But please come with me to my office; I can't leave you here looki

AylaI looked at my wristwatch, tapping my foot on the floor, then looked at the entrance door into the West Wing. I was all alone, waiting for Kaleb to come back from the office like he had said. There was a part of me that felt like he was hiding something from me, but I kept on brushing it off.When I was about to head for my phone in my bedroom to give him a call, there was a knock at the door. Since it was Kaleb's wing at the mansion, I wasn't expecting anyone, not even Marise, to come knocking. It couldn't have been Kaleb either, because he would have just opened the door."I know you're in there, Ayla; I saw you being dropped off by Kaleb earlier. I also know that you are alone because I saw him driving off." Came in Danica's voice, making me roll my eyes. Her voice alone was a reminder of my troubles, and I couldn't help but wonder what she wanted from me, especially 9 at night. I didn't want anything to do with her, so I stood to lock myself up in the bedroom when she spoke a

KalebTwo weeks after Ayla had seen her brother with Danica, none of us had made a point to tell Roman. If anything, he deserved to be kept in the dark about Danica's extramarital affairs, just as he had done to Ayla. To some extent, he was getting what he truly deserved—a cheating fake wife.Seated in a high-end restaurant for dinner, I stared at my phone for the umpteenth time, holding it under the table, like I had been for two weeks. On the screen was Amanda's picture holding a roughly four- to almost-five-year-old boy. The caption under the picture in her chat was clear as day, written, 'Meet your son, Kaleb.' It was the same picture she had sent when Dean discovered that Ayla's phone was tapped."You seem distracted; is everything okay?" Ayla asked, making me snap my head up."Who, me?" I hesitated, hurrying to pick up the fork from my barely eaten food."Yes, for the last two weeks all you do is stare into space, barely finish your food, or even get work done in the office," sh

Ayla I bolted out of the vehicle faster than Kaleb could stop me, my emotions pushing me forward faster than I could think. My heart pounded in my chest, but I didn’t care. Nothing mattered in that moment except getting closer to them—Arnold, my brother, and Danica, my former best friend. The two people at some point I thought I could trust more than anyone. They froze when they saw me, their argument dissolving into tense silence. I blinked rapidly, half convinced that my eyes were deceiving me, but how could I forget how my own brother looked? "Arnold?" I whispered in a thick barely audible voice, my steps faltering in front of them. "Ayla," he muttered, his gaze darting everywhere but at me. After years of silence, you’d think he’d at least look happy to see me. I didn’t know what to do first—hug him, slap him, or scream. Memories of surviving alone after our parents died and Uncle Rex… I shook my head, clearing the thought as Kaleb caught up to me. I couldn’t take my eyes o

Kaleb I couldn't remain in place, not when I knew that Ayla was risking her life just to lure Roman. I was squirming in the passenger seat in my car in between the array of cars, looking at my watch, the window where I could see Ayla at her reserved table, and at the entrance where Roman was likely to drive through into the lot. We had resulted in hiring a male escort to be Ayla's fake date, even though the fake profile was mine, so as not to raise any suspicions, despite me being against the idea of another man. I watched as he walked in, my feet already itching to get out, stop the damn date, and walk out with Ayla. "Relax, man; the guy knows that there are limits. Ayla is safe," Dean spoke, leaning on the driver's seat. I watched as Ayla stood up, flashing a smile at the fake date. They had some type of short conversation before the man greeted Ayla, took her hand, and kissed the back of it. "That's it," I muttered, turning to open the door, only for Dean to grab my arm, stoppin
