Vanessa's POV“Don’t you worry, Mom, I’ll be fine.” I gave her a small smile. “This is just for work, remember? I’ll be visiting you from time to time.”She glanced at the huge black car in front of the apartment building, and the driver loading my stuff into the trunk. I was not really taking a lot of things, just some of my clothes and other personal items I didn’t want to leave behind.Everything would be provided for me.Even a change of wardrobe. But I still wanted my own stuff, so the guilt of deceiving Rodri Darnell would not be even more compounded than it already was.“And, don’t worry about dad coming back. I got security cameras installed in front of our apartment, so anytime someone’s at the door, you can just check the camera feed from inside to know who it is. If it’s him again, don’t open the door and just call the cops, okay?” I said to her, in a worried tone.I was scared to the bones when she told me Dad came to the apartment.I could not understand why he was so hel
Vanessa's POVThe entire world seemed to stop the moment his eyes met mine.An unexplainable shiver, that I had never felt before washed through me, leaving hot sensations all over my skin. The raw beauty in those eyes was staggering. I found myself unable to look away from him.He was so damn gorgeous.I thought I didn’t care about his looks… so why was my entire body suddenly on fire the closer we got to him? “Good morning, Mr. Darnell.” Trinity’s voice broke the electric tension between us, and his eyes moved away from me to rest on her instead, lifting the spell he had cast on me.I let out a soft breath, still feeling my pulse jumping against my skin. Trinity was smiling at him as we climbed up the short flight of stairs, till we were finally by the entrance. I glanced at her, noting something about the way she looked at him.The way her amber eyes greedily moved up and down his sexy, naked torso. That was not the way a worker looked at the boss. That was the gaze of a woman wit
Rodri's POVI had only been able to get an hour or two of sleep, and that was because I had worked myself sore at my private gym the day before. Now, I was awake at 4:00am, staring at the night sky through the glass wall at the side of my bed. Unable to go back to sleep.Until the silence was broken by my phone ringing.I turned to grab it, narrowing my eyes at the lit up screen to see who the fuck was calling me this early.It was Benson.I clenched my jaw, wondering if answering the call was even worth my fucking time. Dad must have mentioned something about my inability to sleep a whole night to him, that was how he knew I would be awake at this hour.“Fuck it.” I cursed gruffly and answered it. “What?”My tone was harsh, and he pointed it out, of course.“Woah. Easy there.” He said on the other end of the call. “You don’t have to sound so violent, I’m your cousin, remember? Family speak nicely to each other.”“Why the fuck did you even call?” I asked. “It’s fucking early. And don’
Vanessa's POVI had toured the house today. It was a Sunday, so the few staff I met had returned home early. I was fine with that, because with everyone gone from the mansion, including Rodri, I could explore as much as my curious mind wanted.And I was even more stunned than before.Everything of luxury anyone could think of was under this roof. There was even an indoor pool, a Jacuzzi in every bathroom, a large private gym, a home Cinema, a sunroom and others. I could not even remember some of them.The sunroom was my favorite so far.A sudden blush warmed my cheeks when I remembered this morning’s incident at the sunroom. I was skimpily dressed, with almost all my body exposed to the early morning sun. And I had no idea that through the glass walls, and all the way from the west wing, Rodri could see me.Every inch of what I was doing… touching myself and running more lotion into my skin… he was watching everything.I squeezed my eyes shut and held back a squeal. How embarrassing!
Estelle's POV“Babe, where are you? I’ve been waiting for hours.” Brandon complained into the phone. I pressed my phone between my shoulder and my ear, while I paid the cab.“Calm down, babe.” I said. “I’m in front of the apartment, already. Are you that hungry from me, hm?” I smirked, turning away from the cab to walk up towards the building, my heels clacking against the pavement. He grunted out a petulant reply,“Of course. I’m fucking starved and sexually frustrated, babe. You agreed to come over three hours ago, but here you are, just showing up.”I sighed loudly, pressing the elevator buttons and stepping in the moment the doors slid open. I tapped on the floor level I was heading to and turned to face the elevator mirror, fixing my appearance, even though I already looked perfect.“That’s because I was helping my bestie spend some time with her mom, okay? And after that, I had to stop by the spa to get a pedicure. You know I take my appearance seriously. I have to look good al
Estelle's POVMy order seemed to send a rush of arousal straight through my boyfriend, because he bit his own lip as his cock throbbed visibly, still leaking semen from how hard he was.“We have all night…” He said in a voice that showed how glad he was that I was spending the night. I smirked and brushed my hair off my shoulders, watching him hurriedly undo the straps of my heels. In his excitement, he fumbled over the straps and I wriggled my feet.“Hurry!”He cursed and got one of the heels off, then crashed into me again to wrench a hot, carnal kiss out of my mouth. I grabbed his shoulders, digging my nails into his skin with reckless pleasure. Then I was pushing him back. He pulled away with his teeth grazing down my bottom lip, before he returned back to carelessly undoing the straps and flinging the shoe sideways.If I were in my right mind, I would have caused a scene over his reckless handling of my expensive and precious heels, but right now, I gave zero fucks.He grabbed m
Vanessa's POV“Did you enjoy your breakfast, Miss Sterling?” The kind Cook asked me warmly, as she gathered my breakfast tray from the glass table at the corner of my bedroom.I gave her a warm smile in return, looking away from the book on my thighs.“You can call me Vanessa. I’m alright with that.”She straightened up, then nodded. She took a couple of steps towards the door, before she suddenly stopped and glanced back, asking, “I know you are a nice woman, Vanessa, so you might be holding back on some things. Is there any complaints you might have, about any thing at all, these past few days? It’s our duty to make sure you are satisfied with everything.”I shook my head, almost in disbelief that this woman would believe that anything in this luxury mansion could inconvenience me. Does she know the kind of tedious life I lived before getting here?If only she could see the state of our old house.She must have thought I was like one of the sophisticated and over-entitled women Rod
Vanessa's POVHis arms instinctively wrapped around me, holding me up. His voice held a sense of urgency as he tilted my face up and looked over my burning skin. “What the hell is happening to you?”I had no idea either. My entire skin was burning like someone was boiling water in my veins, making it bubble till scalding hot steam accumulated under my skin. My eyes were watering, making my vision so blurry that I had to repeatedly wipe my eyes.My knees felt weak.“I.. I feel hot.." I slurred out. It was becoming increasingly difficult to even move my tongue. That alarmed him even more. “Shit.” He cursed and effortlessly raised me into his arms, carrying me bridal style as he stormed out of the bedroom. I was not really paying attention to our surroundings, though I could faintly hear him giving orders to the staff who had probably realized something wrong was happening.I idly wondered how they were always at his beck and call, no matter where they were in his huge house.“…Ready th
Vanessa’s POVRodri walked out of the bathroom with water dripping from his head down his body and I just sat in the bed and watched him clean his body with the towel.A freaking towel touching my man’s body? Parts that should exclusively belong to me.I made a mental note of getting rid of that towel as I tiptoed to where he was standing and grabbed his nipples from behind.“Babe…” he turned to me and I immediately took one nipple with my mouth and the other with my hand.Immediately his moans filled the room as he grabbed a handful of my hair in ecstasy.I raised my head to look at his face and stole my lips with his. Kissing and sucking my tongue like his life depended on it.He ripped off my transparent nightwear and started sucking my breast.I threw my head backwards, giving him full access to my body. He pushed me till my back was against the wall then he raised one of my legs up and inserted a finger inside me.“You’re wet baby… you’re wet for me.”“Ohhh.. yes.. just for you.”
Estelle’s POV “Mo, this is not the way to the hospital.” I said as Moses drove through a very unfamiliar route. “You didn’t believe me when I said we were going to the hospital to see those kids. Did you?” I gave him a questioning glare. “Come on babe, don’t you think it’s too late to go to a hospital to look for kids you don’t even know personally?” “So…” I was still glaring at him and it somehow seemed funny to him as he laughed like he just heard the joke of the century. “I’m sorry babe but I was pulling your legs.” “I thought you wanted to go to the hospital to be sure I wasn’t lying to you.” “Why will I ever doubt you?” He placed a hand on mine while still concentrating on the road. “I will never doubt you babe. I trust you and I love you.” My glare slowly turned into a little smile with puppy eyes. “Stop it Moses. It’s so cringey.” “I can’t stop loving you so you have to manage my cringiness.” “Is there any word like that in the dictionary?” I asked, la
Rodri’s POV I didn’t believe I’d feel the way I felt when I saw Benson at the hospital looking all pale and white. It was the doctor's assurance and Vanessa’s support that helped me overcome that day and the other days that followed till he became well again. “I’m ready babe.” Vanessa’s voice dragged my strayed attention. I got up and gave her a forehead kiss as we left the bedroom together. We went to Rainn’s bedroom to see him and his grandma that was always with him. “Morning mom.” Vanessa and I chorused. Vanessa turned to me and smiled, giving me a slight tickle on my waist. “You know you are the overly ticklish one and you’re looking for trouble.” I whispered in her ear and she giggled in response. Rainn chuckled too in his cradle like he could hear what I was saying to his mother. I walked to where he was, carried him and started throwing him up. His laughter filled the room giving me a kind of satisfaction I never thought I’d ever have. I gave him a ki
Estelle’s POV After that remarkable night with Moses, I woke up to my head on his firm chest and his strong arms around my body. It was the best night of my life. Though since then I’ve been wondering what we really were and if he was feeling the same way I was feeling. I could only hope I wasn’t losing myself easily again. The sound of my phone ringing dragged back my attention. And as expected, the caller was Moses. “Hello dreamboat, how is my pookie bear doing?” Typical of Moses he’s always having new cute names for me. “Mo…” I knew I sounded exhausted, but I should have controlled it because the man I was talking to would freak out. “Why are you sounding this way? Still at work? Haven’t you closed for the day? Aren’t they…” “Calm down Mo, don’t stress about it. I’m good.” “We both know you’re not.” “Well it’s because I’m mis…” I almost told him I was missing him. I heaved a sigh We weren’t officially together so I didn’t want to seem like I was despera
Vanessa’s POV “Ms Trinity Seaman, you’re found guilty of all the charges against you, therefore, you’re hereby sentenced to ten years imprisonment with hard labor.” The judge ruled the case against her and hit the gavel on the bench. I couldn’t help but notice the look of horror on Trinity’s face when the judgment was made. I saw regrets, fear and pains written all over her. I wished I could turn back the hand of time and not go to her for an abortion. But which other way would I have met Rodri? “My baby…” was the last word I could read from her lips as the prison officers dragged her out of the courtroom. Rodri’s grip tightened on my hand and I turned to see him giving me a reassuring smile. “It’s not your fault babe. You didn’t tell her to try to poison me or drug dad and try to have his child. She doesn’t deserve your pity.” I blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall off my eyes. “What about her child?” I asked him as we walked out of the courthouse. “
Trinity’s POV The entrance of the cheap driver into the interrogation room destabilized me for a split second. I thought he already confessed to Angela and her husband what we had that night and I mentioned him out of impulse, which I was already starting to regret. I didn’t want to say that but I was at a dead end, I needed to get myself off the mess I was in. Though I still couldn’t believe the results of the DNA tests Angela threw at me proved whatever she claimed. The cheapskate driver’s hands started shaking as he tried in vain to open the door and leave. “It’s him what?” Rodri scoffed. I could see the confusion on his face mirror on his parents face. But Vanessa kinda looked indifferent, like she knew what the next thing I’d say. Ugh! I hate this bitch and how highly she thinks of herself now that she has Rodri. I hate her so much that I wish she’d just fall down and die at this moment! “If the result of the DNA test says the child is not a Darnell, which I st
Rodri’s POV We got to the hospital to meet Trinity panting like she had just finished a one thousand five hundred meter race. “You!” She pointed at Vanessa as soon as she saw her. “You betrayed me, you went ahead and fell in love with him against your own words! I will make you regret it.” “Sure you will after telling us.. no, after telling the world how you got pregnant and tried to pin the bastard on my son and husband by drugging and having sex with him.” Mom threw the result of the DNA tests she did at Trinity’s face. Trinity paused momentarily then took a deep breath. “Who.. how.. you…” She was obviously flustered by mom and how her secret got exposed. “Who told me and how did I know?” Mom fired at her. The door opened and two police officers walked in. “Miss Trinity Seaman, you are under arrest for…” “You can’t arrest me…” “I’ll advise you to remain silent for anything you say might be used against you in the court of law. “What about my son, what would becom
Rodri’s POV “I’m coming with you.” Vanessa said as she entered the bathroom after I came out. I would have stubbornly gone to see mom last night after dads call if not for the unexpected rain that showed up suddenly and Vanessa used the opportunity she had to give me a good blow job that if not for much self control, I would have fucked her silly. I saw my face turning red in the mirror. I wasn’t a baby and it wasn’t even the first time I was given a blow job and truth be told, it wasn’t the best I’d ever had but somehow I found myself blushing at the thought of it. “And why is your face red?” I didn’t need to turn to know it was Vanessa. And she was in her birthday suit. The fuck was going on in her silly mind? She didn’t even look like someone that just delivered a child, if not for the little scar on her stomach, no one would know she was ever pregnant. “You’re beautiful...” I heard myself say without my knowledge. She came to me, stole a kiss an
Estelle’s POVAfter Vanessa ran off, I laughed inwardly because I didn’t want Moses to know that I was happy being alone with him, even though I was mad at him.I knew what Vanessa did, she wanted me to settle things quickly with Moses because if this misunderstanding lingers, it could cost us a chance at a beautiful relationship I was hoping to have with him.Still, I told myself to remind myself that I was going to kill Vanessa the next time I saw her for being a traitor and a betrayer.“I like her.” He said, as he started driving again.“Why won’t you?” I rolled my eyes. “…when she’s on your side.”“Just know that I love anything and anyone you love.”I scoffed. What in the name of cheesiness?“Doesn’t matter, I won’t forgive you for lying to me.”He drove to one side of the road and pulled over. Brought out his phone from his pocket and started searching for whatever while I watched him like he was acting out a scene in a movie.“Yes! This is it!” He sounded and looked enthusiasti
