“I’ll let you know if we need your help.” Luisa said, her voice coming out sharper than she intended. Clark’s smile dropped, but he restored it almost immediately, and an awkward silence settled over the table for a few seconds until he broke it with another ferrible joke. A few minutes later, their food was brought to them. “Luisa, are you sure everything’s okay? You haven’t taken a bite yet,” Thalassa asked, noticing Luisa was just poking her salad with her fork after she and Clark had already been eating for a while. “Everything’s fine, Lassa. Don’t worry,” Luisa replied, forcing herself to take a forkful of salad to ease Thalassa's concern. But she could feel Clark’s eyes on her every few seconds. Not wanting to raise his suspicions, she forced herself to finish everything on her plate, acting as normal as she could. When they were done, Clark paid the bill. Just as Luisa thought they were about to leave, he excused himself. “Will the ladies excuse me? I need to use the

That evening, Luisa turned off the shower and stepped out of the cubicle, feeling refreshed physically, but inside, the anxiety still lingered.After they'd returned to the office, she had tried to talk to Thalassa again. Despite seeing moments where Thalassa was truly considering her words, it hadn’t been enough to finally get her to listen.Sighing, Luisa toweled off her body and stepped into her bedroom just as her phone began ringing on the bed. She picked it up, her heart soaring when she saw the name on the screen—Alden."Hello," she said softly, trying not to sound too excited."Luisa..." He breathed her name in a way that sent a shiver of sensation straight to her core."Alden...""I know I said I’d call you later, but I couldn’t wait. I need to see you," he said.Luisa's heart raced with excitement. "Me... me too.""Really?""Yes."Thoughts of him had been the only thing distracting her from the worry she felt for her best friend—his enticing smell, the warmth of his body...

Kris was sitting in the living room of his penthouse, nursing a small glass of scotch, when his doorbell rang.He frowned. He hadn’t told any of his family members where he currently lived, and Alden was on a date with Luisa, so who could it be?Setting the glass on the coffee table, he got up to check the door, turning on the camera connected to the doorbell. Zeke Matthews’ face appeared on the screen.Kris stiffened. What the hell was he doing here?Gritting his teeth, he opened the door, and almost immediately, Zeke stormed into his penthouse without permission.“For a supposedly smart businessman, you sure seem to lack a lot of manners, Matthews,” Kris said coolly, not bothering to shut the door since he didn’t plan on entertaining the man in his penthouse for long.“Do not fucking talk to me about manners!” Zeke hissed.“What’s got your panties all twisted up this evening, baby girl?” Kris asked mockingly, eyebrows raised. “How did you know where I lived? Did you stalk me?”“Stal

The next move Luisa made surprised even herself. She threw the car into reverse, her heart hammering as she quickly spun the wheel and backed up. The car screeched as her side mirror clipped the vehicle behind he and broke, but somehow, she managed to squeeze through the narrow space left on the road. Tires screeched as she sped away.“I did it!” She shouted, but her relief was short-lived when she glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the men running back to their cars, with one speeding after her. “They’re chasing me again!”“Keep driving,” Kris instructed. “You’re close to where I live now. Zeke will share our location with you. Head toward us.”Alden’s voice came through, his calmness somehow cutting through the tension. “Do what Kris says, Luisa. I’m on my way too.”Luisa’s hands trembled on the steering wheel, but she pressed harder on the gas. The headlights of the car behind her filled the mirrors, growing closer by the second. Her body jolted as the car behind rammed into h

“Kris!" Luisa screamed when she opened her eyes to see Kris bleeding from his shoulder. She shot to her feet and rushed toward him. "Kris… are you okay?" “Yes… I’m fine,” he muttered, brushing off her concern. "But you need to get behind the car. Now." Before Luisa could respond, the man who had fired the shot turned his gun back on her, but before he could pull the trigger, Alden suddenly crashed into him, tackling him to the ground. Alden grabbed his wrist, and they struggled over the gun until he finally managed to knock it out of the man's hand. “How dare you! How dare you try to shoot her?!” He raged, slamming his fist into the man's face. More punches followed. When the man was finally subdued, Alden took his gun and grabbed him by the collar. He dragged him to where the rest were standing, throwing him onto the floor beside his accomplice. Luisa gasped when she saw Alden’s face, noticing a small but bloody cut on his forehead. "Oh, Alden! Are you okay?" "Yeah, don

“I was waiting for my investigators to confirm my suspicions about you,” Thalassa said icily. “But you trying to kill my best friend? That’s the last straw.”Clark’s mind raced as he processed the sight of Thalassa holding a gun on him. This was the last thing he’d expected coming here. He needed to do something to salvage the situation.“Thalassa, what are you talking about? I didn’t try to kill anyone.” His voice wavered, though he attempted to keep it steady.Thalassa scoffed, her eyes narrowing. “Luisa called to tell me what happened to her on the road. You sent those men after her, and they would’ve killed her had it not been for Alden, Zeke, and Kris.”Clark saw an opportunity to turn things around. ““Kris? Of course! I’m not surprised that it involves that man. Lassa, he’s clearly trying to manipulate you again. Can’t you see? He obviously planned for those men to chase Luisa so that he would rescue her and act like a savior.”A humorless smile curled on Thalassa’s lips. “Funny

Clark let out a cold laughter. “Well, you and Kris can search all you want, but you won’t find anything. I’m not an idiot.”Thalassa’s eyes narrowed, her voice cutting through the room like ice. “So it’s true. That story you told me about the women you ‘fell in love with’ supposedly killing themselves—it was all a lie, wasn’t it? They never committed suicide. You killed them so you can get their fortune.”Clark scoffed, rolling his eyes. “I didn’t kill them. They were already sick in the head. All I had to do was push them a little, and they were ready to swallow those pills because they were so ‘depressed.’ Poor things.”Though her face remained composed, Thalassa felt a wave of nausea twist in her stomach. How had she allowed someone like him to get so close to her? His voice was devoid of emotion, as if driving someone to suicide was something normal to him.“Is that what you planned to do to me?” she asked calmly. “Marry me or get me to sign over my wealth, then make me kill mysel

Clark knew he was cornered. There were three police cars and at least six officers in front of him, along with those idiots—Kris, Alden, Luisa, and Zeke.His eyes darted around. If he could run around the house into the backyard, maybe he could scale the wall and escape. Before he could even take a step, one of the officers warned him.“Don’t even think about it, sir, or we’ll be forced to shoot.”Clark froze, knowing the officer wasn't bluffing. He would be an idiot to try and escape now. Even if he tried, his wounded thigh would keep him from getting far. He was fucked for now, but far from giving up.Three officers came towards him, spreading out on each side of him until they finally got to him. Though he wasn't trying to resist, one of them swept his legs from under him, sending him crashing down on the hard, rocky pavement.Pain shot through his thigh, but he bit back a cry, refusing to give them the satisfaction. He lay still as they cuffed his hands behind his back.Once they

Tessa stood frozen for several seconds before her hands flew to her mouth in shock. “Oh my God…” she whispered. She didn't even have to ask if he was sure because she could tell he was. Guilt clawed at her chest. Alex had told her before how most of the women who came onto him were only after his wealth which was also part of the reason he'd always been so careful about dating. And now it seemed he had been proven right. Tessa felt like it was her fault because she was the one who had set Alex on that blind date with Hillary. “Alex,” she whispered. “I’m so sorry. I had no idea she was that kind of woman.” He shook his head. “It’s okay,” he said, his voice calmer, his expression blank. “You were just trying to look out for me. But don’t do it again, Tessa.” There was no anger in his tone toward her, but she could sense the bitterness. Tessa swallowed hard, guilt still pressing down on her. She watched as Alex turned toward one of the cabinets, moving like he already knew exactl

After breakfast, the whole family moved to the shores to enjoy the beach. the whole family moved to the beach where a variety of games and fun had been set up.Tessa took a deep breath, feeling at peace.But peace never really lasted long when when her mischievous twins were around.The four-year-olds were balls of energy, running up and down the sandy shore, splashing water at people, and playfully disturbing anyone who looked too relaxed.“Girls!” Tessa called after them as they ran past, giggling. “Don’t bother grandpa Zeke!”Too late.Zeke had been lying on a lounger, sunglasses on, probably dozing off, until a handful of sand landed on his chest.His head snapped up. “Hey!”The twins burst into laughter and ran away before he could catch them.Gendry, sitting next to Tessa, shook his head. “Your daughters indeed.”Tessa turned to him with a dry look. “Excuse me?”“The mischief? That’s all you. I'm sure that's exactly how you were at their age.”She huffed, crossing her arms. “And

FIVE YEARS LATERThe morning sun peeked through the white curtains, casting golden light across the bedroom. Tessa stirred, instantly feeling the warmth pressed against her back, a familiar arm draped over her waist. A smile crept onto her lips as she blinked sleepily.She didn't have to turn around to know Gendry was awake. His slow, steady breaths against the nape of her neck gave him away.A soft kiss landed on her bare shoulder."Happy anniversary, Mrs. Graham," he murmured, his voice husky from sleep.Tessa hummed, pressing back against him. "Happy anniversary, Mr. Graham."Gendry tightened his hold on her, rolling her onto her back so he could hover over her. The intense look in his dark eyes sent a familiar shiver down her spine."Last night wasn't enough," he whispered, running his fingers down her side. "I need more."Tessa let out a soft laugh. "Didn't we exhaust ourselves already?"His lips brushed against her neck. "Not even close."They made love again, slow and deep, as

Tessa’s heart thudded as her father stared at Gendry, his brows furrowing deeper by the second. "Of course I figured that out already." her father finally scoffed, shaking his head. "It's just... Tessa is two months pregnant. Two months. I—" He blinked rapidly as the realization dawned. "Unless..." Tessa took pity on him. She sighed and decided to just put him out of his confusion. "Dad," she said carefully, "there was… something between Gendry and me. When we were in Jamaica." Her father's frown only deepened. "I don’t understand. Since we left Jamaica, I haven’t seen you two together until yesterday. How could there be something between you when–” Beside him, Thalassa let out a small chuckle and placed a hand on his chest. "Leave them alone, Kris," she said, eyes twinkling with amusement. Kris turned to her, narrowing his eyes. "You don’t seem surprised." Thalassa shrugged. Kris’s jaw dropped. "Lassa. You knew?" She gave him an innocent look. "I had my suspicions." "And yo

All eyes turned towards Tessa and Gendry as they entered. In the living room were her parents, Alex, Rita, Maya, Jace, Aunt Luisa, Uncle Alden, and their youngest 17 years old daughter, Tessa's cousin, Emma.The moment Rita spotted Gendry, she gasped. "Gendry!" she squealed, jumping up from her seat and rushing toward him.Gendry barely had time to react before Rita crashed into him. He let out a soft chuckle, crouching slightly to meet her height as he ran a hand through her hair.“Missed me that much, huh?” he teased, the corner of his lips lifting in amusement.Rita huffed and pulled back, immediately smoothing down her hair. “You're ruining my hair,” she grumbled, glaring up at him.“My bad,” Gendry said, his voice dripping with fake remorse. His amused gaze flicked toward the others, and laughter rippled through the room, even from Alex.Despite the lighthearted moment, Tessa caught the curious look in her father’s eyes. There were unspoken questions swimming in his gaze.“Good e

“Marry me, Tessa.”Tessa stared at him, her lips parting as she tried to process what he had just said. Her voice came out in a breathless whisper. “What?”Gendry didn’t hesitate. He looked straight into her eyes, his expression open and sure. “Marry me, Tessa.”She felt like her heart had stopped. Her mind raced, but no coherent thoughts came. “You—” She swallowed, utterly flustered.Gendry chuckled at her shock, rolling onto his side so that he was partially on top of her. His fingers traced lazy circles on her arm, his touch soothing.“Hear me out,” he murmured. “I know it sounds crazy. Maybe it is. But I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life.”Tessa’s breath hitched, her pulse drumming in her ears.“We just made things official, like, yesterday,” he admitted, his lips curving into a small, sheepish smile. “But it doesn’t feel new, does it? It feels like I’ve known you forever. We’ve been through so much. Hell, even we were against each other at some point. And yet, here we

“Don’t worry. You’re not the first couple to ask that, and you definitely won’t be the last.” The doctor said with a teasing note in her voice.She pulled out a disposable wipe and began wiping the gel from Tessa's belly. Tessa sighed in relief.“That should be all for today,” The doctor said warmly. “As I said, for the first few months, it would be best to be checked monthly, so please when you're ready, let me know when to schedule the next appointment.”She began rearranging the equipment. “Please wait outside for a few minutes. Your ultrasound pictures and the recording will be ready soon to take with you..” Gendry helped Tessa sit up and adjust her clothes before they stepped out. They waited in the reception area, their happiness and excitement tangible. Ten minutes later, a nurse handed over the envelope containing the picture and the USB. Gendry took it as if it was the most precious thing in the world. They made their way out of the hospital and back to Gendry's car. Aft

In the afternoon, when it was a couple of minutes to get an appointment, Gendry arrived a few minutes earlier than he promised to pick her up.Gendry leaned against the doorframe, looking relaxed yet effortlessly gorgeous in his button down shirt. His eyes swept over her in that way that always made her feel like the only woman in the world. "You're early," she teased, walking toward him. He beamed. “I'll always be early for you, princes.” Her heart did a little flip at that, but she rolled her eyes to keep her cool. "Such a smooth talker." He grinned and reached for her, pulling her close and covering her lips with his. When they finally broke the kiss, he took her hand. She let him take it without hesitation, their fingers interlocking. It felt so right.As they walked through the office, she felt the weight of dozens of eyes on them. Conversations momentarily halted, only to resume in hushed murmurs once they passed. She knew exactly why. One, no one had ever seen her h
