Ezrah faintly guessed what Rush wanted but was not willing to agree to it.“Rush, I would not have thought of pressing charges if you had attacked me, but rather, you targeted Zora.”“No. I paid Piper to take you down, and she changed the plan,” Rush confessed.Ezrah smiled bitterly, understanding why Piper would go against Michelle, but it was still Rush’s fault for contracting her.“I will find her, but this is not over. Don’t blame me for what’s coming next. You are just lucky that I arrived in time to take the stab, but if it had been Michelle, you and Piper would have been dead by now,” Ezrah said between gritted teeth.Indeed, if Michelle had been injured and ended up at the hospital, he would have done as told before she even regained consciousness.But if she had lost her life, then Rush and Piper’s families would have been dragged to hell.There was a sudden change in the voice at the other end of the line. “Mr. Gannon, my name is David Hendrix, Rush’s father.”Ezrah guessed
“What is it, Ezrah?” Lake asked, ready to do anything. Michelle was equally eager to hear everything as Ezrah instructed. “Switch on the phone and use my email to send a message to investigator X. I already have a trail of emails with him, so just follow them up with the question of Piper’s whereabouts. Tell him I want the report on all her movements in the last three weeks.” Ezrah had not followed up on Piper due to his focus on pursuing Michelle; hence, he requested details on all her whereabouts. This was the reason Lake loved and had faith in Ezrah. The likes of Piper would not be able to escape him in any part of the world. But he wondered if this was a completely different investigator Ezrah was using because Lake had already contacted all the ones he knew and worked together with. “Is this investigator new?” As expected, Ezrah answered. “Yes. He came highly recommended and has been keeping tabs on Piper. If he sends any bills, tell Madison to foot it.” Lake wa
Lake arrived at the house Ezrah purchased in Miami and switched on Ezrah’s phone.Going through the emails, he searched for that of the investigator and found it, just as Ezrah explained.After sending the message and receiving a response confirming that the investigator had received the email, he decided to go shower, except there was a very special woman in the shower already.For the first time, he undressed and joined her in the shower.Coco’s back was turned to him, and she still had lather on her face when she felt a male palm caressing her. She quickly turned around as it seemed strange.“Lake?”“Who else could it be, Rose?” His voice sounded strange to her because of the passions flooding his blood.Coco was a little shy, as this was the first time he saw her completely naked.Most times, Lake would face the other way when she was undressing, but this time, he disregarded his principles and came to her in the shower.Coco allowed the warm water to wash her face off the lather,
Coco’s experience had only been with River, and the size she was seeing was about three to four times that of River. Though scary, she found it interesting to explore a size like this. Going on her knees, she pecked the mountain before her and asked, “Can I touch it?” Lake was slightly nervous when she went on her knees but was rather embarrassed when her lips touched it, not knowing how to respond to her question. Coco took his silence for yes, wrapping her arms around his phallus as her lips covered the tips of it. “Arhhhh, Rose,” Lake moaned, feeling different kinds of excitement. The fact that this was the first time he was doing something like this with a woman he loved. Coco seemed to be struggling with the size and was smart enough to work around the tip with her mouth, as her hands caressed and massaged his phallus, earning passionate groans from him. Lake was impressed, and his fears slowly died as he carried her to his torso, their bodies pressed against each other. C
Lake turned Coco around and kissed her on the lips. Their gazes met. “Do you want me to stop?”Coco was so exhausted that she almost said yes, but she knew it would be selfish of her. Lake had not reached his release yet, so she didn't want to be the only one enjoying this.“No. I want you to release too.”Lake was concerned. As a man, his woman's satisfaction with his performance mattered to him the most, so he asked seriously,“Are you satisfied? I can’t have my release if you aren’t.”Coco's response took his breath away. “I’m beyond satisfied, Lake. This is the best sex I’ve ever had.”A chuckle escaped Lake as joy flooded his heart. It took another thirty minutes, and Coco had released twice more before he came down from his high, shaking violently, groaning, and panting from his release.He lay on his back, and Coco faced the other side, but he soon gathered her in his arms, forcing her to lay on his chest.Coco had to accept that things were different. River would turn the othe
Last night, Michelle had no choice but to sleep beside Ezrah, especially when he threatened to sit on the chair if she refused.Not having slept for long due to Ezrah’s condition, this was the first time she slept peacefully and for so long in almost two weeks.In dire situations like this, even a small hospital bed was able to bring them together in love more than all the luxuries in the world.Michelle turned to the side, and Ezrah’s arms wrapped safely around her.The doctor came for his ward rounds with the nurses and contemplated whether to wake them or come back later.In the midst of this contemplation, Lake entered the VIP ward with Coco, and a smile registered on his face.This was the most beautiful and peaceful he had seen Ezrah sleep in years.“Doctor, can you come later, please? These two must not be disturbed.”Coco’s excitement was equally visible on her face. Michelle looked more peaceful than Coco had ever seen her.The doctor agreed, almost at the door when Ezrah ope
“The good news first,” Ezrah said, as Madison informed him over the phone at the same time Michelle went into the shower.“Your stocks have gone up by two hundred percent. EZ Group has overtaken Gannon Group by forty percent.”Ezrah had seen it coming. He had wanted to remove some of the board members, but his father had refused.With his experience, he could only focus on diverting his projections to EZ Group. It hadn’t been up to two years, and it was already at the top of the business list. Ezrah should be proud, but he had Michelle to thank for this.If she hadn’t left him, he would not have tried to break free from the chains of his family.Though excited, his voice remained calm as he heard the sound of the shower.How he wished he could join her, but he did not seize the opportunity when they were married. For now, he had to utilize the two weeks to not upset her and could not entertain the thought of joining her.“That isn’t bad, and you deserve a hundred percent increase ac
“Ezrah, what are you doing?” Michelle lowered her head as Ezrah went to sit in front of her with his back turned.“Didn’t you say you wanted to apply the ointment for me?” He tried to pin his deliberate action on her, but Michelle couldn't accept it.“You didn't have to be naked for me to do that.” She tried hard to avoid staring at his hunky back by focusing only on the area of the stab wound.The wound had healed well and was almost turning into a scar.Michelle was glad for this but knew that the main reason for his check-ups was the effect of the poison.She masked the funny thoughts going through her mind, opened the lid of the ointment, and began to gently rub it on the affected area.As soon as she withdrew her hand, he stood up and went to the closet to pick up casual clothes.Ezrah was careful not to count his chickens before they hatched.After putting on his clothes, he walked back to sit beside her on the bed, and only after speaking did Michelle snap out of her shock.“Yo
