“Don’t!!!” Adam said but it was too late. Helen took it all in one gulp.
“This tastes soooo...” She said, staring at the now empty cup. “Why did you give me something different?” She turned her attention to Adam Sleeves.
“I remember you don’t like alcohol. Didn’t want you to think I intentionally made you drunk. You shouldn’t have drank that. It’s too strong for you.”

“I had my own room. Ensuite. As much as I hated to admit it, it was the best thing that happened to me. There were times I was lonely, I cried and I was depressed but it was better than having some kids bully me.”“I was also accompanied for checkups and before we knew it, it was already my due date. As much as I was meant to be depressed, I was sort of excited to meet my little angel. I got really attached to the baby when it was still in my belly.” Despite Kara’s eyes being filled with tears, a small smile crept to her lips as she talked about her child.“Despite everything, I was fortunate to find comfort in our child. Our baby became my best friend, I found myself talking to it most of the time, we picked out na

“Let go of me, Mr. Sleeves.” She tried to wriggle out of his stronghold.Kissing her by the side of her forehead, Adam spoke with a smirk on his face. “I’ll take that as a YES baby girl! I know you secretly want what I’m about to do to you."Before Kara could say anything else, Adam was already by the bed. He gently placed her in the middle of the bed and immediately climbed on top of her, pinning her hands over her head, holding them still with his hands.He saw that her lips were about to move, probably to protest against him but before she could say anything. Adam possessively covered her mouth with his. He started exploring slowly, not wanting to appear rough with her.Kara didn&rsq

Adam got off Kara, laid on his side, and turned his attention to her. He raised her chin so her eyes would meet his.“Do you regret me making love to you? Did I hurt you?” He asked with a pained voice.“You said you wanted it hard and fast. Sorry if I went too rough!!!” Adam apologized, hating himself already.“That’s not the point. We didn’t use protection. Don’t you think you should have pulled out?”“You’re scared you will get pregnant with our child?”“Do you think now is the right time to bring a baby into the world?” She challenged politely.

Kara sighed, slightly giving up because she knew she was also at fault.“Forgive me too for keeping something important away from you. I should have let you know my view about us having a baby too soon.” “Come over here!” Adam gestured for her to come closer to him and she did just that. He placed a soft kiss on her lips, caressing her cheek. “Please let’s forget about the past. I promise not to hide anything from you again or give you any form of silent treatment.” “Me too.” “The baby, thank you.” He smiled, looking down at her belly.Katherine chuckled, “It takes two to make a baby.” “I know. It’s just amazing to know we are going to have a child together again. It’s something I’ve secretly wished for. I was not there when you were pregnant with Annie, I wasn’t on good terms with Tessie so I didn’t experience much during Calvin’s pregnancy, we had Anna through surrogacy so this is going to be like my first time, experiencing everything step by step with the woman I love most in

Tessie got a well deserved judgment of three years imprisonment with a permanent restraining order to stay away from Adam and his family.

He won every lawsuit against Tessie's parents and his father with regards to the company which he still successfully runs. Soon enough, they arrived at their little mansion, their home.

Once the children were done with their food, Kara packed their lunch bag. “Zane took your Dad to work. Unfortunately, I’m not in the mood to drive so I guess we will all be leaving with Seth.”“Seth will drive. We will drop Anna and Calvin first, then drop you at school after which he will bring me back home.” “You look so tired. I’m sure you didn’t have any sleep last night. Why don’t you stay at home and rest? I’ll take care of my siblings. We will drop Anna and Calvin first, then Seth will drop me off at school.” “Are you sure? My head pounds like crazy but this is something I can manage to do.” “It’s fine, Mom. I’ll take care of today.” Annie assured. Once re

Epilogue 12 months later Katherine slowly opened her eyes, coming face to face with the cold and empty space beside her. Despite how heavy her head was, She knew she needed to get up and start her day. She eventually had the strength to get out of bed after staring at the ceiling for a couple of minutes. Before going into the bathroom, Kara reached for her phone on the nightstand. She unlocked it, then went to her message app. Staring at the receiver’s space, being unsure as to whether to send the message or not, She finally found the courage to do so with shaky hands. “Good morning, baby. What do you want for breakfast?” Seeing that the message had been delivered, Kara placed her phone back on the nightstand, then went to the bathroom to do her morning ritual. She dried her body, changed into a brown sundress, then brushed her hair.Returning to the bedroom, Kara proceeded to the nightstand where her phone was. Her heart fell when she didn’t see notifications of any replied mes

Just as promised, Adam ensured they all went out for breakfast. They did some grocery shopping before coming back home. Once home, Calvin suggested they all went for a swim. That was when they realized Annie couldn’t swim. She mostly watched the others have fun but Kara made her come into the water too, teaching her a few strokes. Adam made a mental note to register her for swimming lessons. Shortly after The Sleeves had lots of food, snacks, and drinks delivered at their doorstep, their guests arrived. “Uncle Adam!” Evan ran towards his godfather the moment the door was opened. Adam chuckled, picking up the little boy, showering his face with kisses, making him giggle. “I missed you, Uncle Adam.” “I missed you too, buddy.” “Where’s Calvin?” “In the living room. You wanna go meet him.” Evan nodded eagerly. Adam kissed his forehead, then placed him on his feet after which Evan ran into the living room. “Holy shit, Jess.” Adam’s lips curved into a genuine smile when he saw her

Adam sleeves woke up feeling really pumped. Just like how he had been for the past few days. He couldn’t believe it was possible to experience ease, happiness, peace of mind and so much joy after living a life filled with nothing but sadness.Waking up every day to his family was the sweetest part of Adam’s life. He couldn’t get enough of Kara and those little humans God blessed him with. Unconsciously, he found himself looking forward to spending every hour of the day with them. Adam knew he had to return to work eventually but he knew it wasn’t going to be anytime soon. For now, the feeling of missing a thing that goes on with his family doesn’t sit well with him. Sleeves chuckled quietly as he watched Katherine snuggle closer to him. They were both naked under the sheets. He couldn’t help but think that there was nothing more fulfilling than falling asleep together and waking up in each other’s arms. He couldn’t believe this was the feeling he had been deprived of for years. Car

Adam sleeves wasn’t someone that was into Shopping. He said would rather have people do them for him. But seeing the gorgeous smile on his beautiful daughter's face while buying stuff for her was so fulfilling. He bought everything She needed and a lot more. They got stuff for Kara too, as well as Calvin and Anna. The last stop was the apple shop. Annie wanted just one device but Adam made sure she got multiple. An iPhone, iPad, a MacBook as well as necessary accessories. Kara got an iPad too. They had lunch at a very reputable restaurant not far from the mall after which they went home. Adam was able to avoid being recognized by using his disguised shades. It was only at the point of payment that every cashier knew it was him. Once they got home and put everything they brought away, Adam and Annie left to pick up Calvin. “Having a good time?” Adam said to his daughter the moment he drove out of the mansion. “Yes.”“Thank you.” “For the stuff I got you?” He asked, taking a glan

“I’ll be right back,” Adam said, excusing himself.Stepping into the living room, he answered the call. “Good day, Mr sleeves.” The not-so-familiar feminine voice came through. “Good day, Alicia. How may I help you?” He asked, politely. “Actually, Sir, I apologize for wanting to have this discussion over the phone when it should be done face to face.Adam ran a hand over his face, already having an idea of what was going to come out of Alicia’s mouth. “We are deeply sorry about Helen’s behavior. I’m quite shocked too because she’s our best staff and never have we had any bad report about her. We are deeply sorry, Mr. Sleeves. We can issue a refund if you want. But please don’t let this go public. It will ruin the Agency’s reputation and the employment of other employees.” Adam exhaled. “Tessie came to you, Didn’t she?” “She reached out to us on the phone.” “So what did she say?” “She said Helen has been nothing but a disaster since she came into your home.

Pulling away from the hug, Adam and Katherine noticed that their daughter’s eyes were filled with tears. Before they could both say anything, a tear rolled down Annie’s cheek which She wiped away immediately with the back of her palm. “What’s wrong, love?” Kara voiced out, moving closer to her daughter. “Did I do anything to hurt you?” Adam whispered, wondering what went wrong. Annie sniffled, shaking her head. “I never got the chance to call you 'Daddy' or know you better and I saw that lady almost kill you.” “My love,” He raised Annie’s chin so she could meet his gaze. “I’m not going anywhere. Not now or ever. This is where I belong. With you, your mom, and your siblings.” “You have nothing to be afraid of. No one is going to take your Daddy away from you. That lady will definitely be jailed. She won’t come back into our lives. I promise you.” “Please, be careful, Daddy.” She whispered, looking at him with pleading eyes. Adam smiled. It felt so good hearing his almost teenage
