Thank you for reading.
The previous night. Quinn had just finished reading Lucian a bedtime story when her phone buzzed, indicating she had received a message. She glanced at Lucian who was now sleeping peacefully. He was so cute with flushed squishy cheeks that matched his ginger hair. Quinn couldn't fathom how anyone would want to leave such an adorable child. 'I feel sorry for him. He will wake up tomorrow and find out his mother is gone,' she said in her mind. Sighing, she took out her phone to check her message, only for her to frown when she read it. It was from her editor who had suddenly changed his attitude towards her a few months ago. Brandon: [I heard Mr Norton's baby mama has left. Now's your chance, Quinn. If you manage to seduce him, then you will never lack anything in life. You might even become the CEO since Mr Norton bought shares in our company for you.] Quinn's eyebrows creased in confusion. It was clear this 'Mr Norton' that Brandon was talking about was Jake. However, since when
The small voice made the couple freeze. They pulled apart and turned to look at the little boy who was standing in the hallway. Lucian was rubbing his eyes, a sign that he had just woken up. He sniffed again and cried, "I want my Mommy." Jake's heart raced violently against his ribcage. It was so loud he could hear it in his ears. He was usually never afraid of anything, however, at that moment, his stomach knotted with nerves. He didn't know what to do. Or what to say. The answer to his son's question was simple but he didn't know how to tell him his mother had left. Quinn noticed that Jake was at a loss for words. So, she walked towards Lucian and crouched down at his eye level. "Hey, buddy. Good morning. Your Mommy is at work but Daddy and Auntie are here, would you like some pancakes?" Quinn remarked. She didn't exactly lie. Charlotte had left for her work. The boy instantly forgot he was looking for his mother and grinned from ear to ear. He exclaimed, "Yes, I want panca
Several weeks passed. Claire's internal wound had fully healed and she could finally return to work after a long time. Her employees were excited to see her again since she hadn't been to the office for close to a year. Regardless, the firm was still running well since she still held meetings to discuss the future of the company with the directors of her firm through video conferences. It was over the weekend and Oliver had planned to take his wife to the beach house that he had built for her. Little Alex had grown and was big enough to be left with the nanny for a few hours or days. However, Claire’s motherly instincts kept making her restless. She couldn't help but miss their children seeing that they left them for a whole weekend away. Although she had pumped enough breast milk, Claire was worried Alex wouldn't like it if he noticed she was away. "Do you think the nanny can handle the kids?" She asked her husband, her stomach knotting with worry. "Yes, she will. She's train
Oliver was on fire that day. After months of not having his wife, he couldn’t wait to bury himself in her sweet, tight love cave. His dick was painfully hard in his pants, leaving no room in his tight boxers. He wanted to rip Claire’s clothes off and take her hard and fast to satiate his hunger, however, he knew he had to prepare her before that. The idea of fucking her against the window sent electric shocks of desire throughout his body as he pressed her against the window. He caged Claire in his arms and peppered hot kisses along her neck, going all the way to her shoulders. With each kiss, he felt his wife’s body shudder, an indication of how much she wanted him too. “I missed you so much, love. I missed this,” Oliver whispered as he grabbed Claire’s chin and tilted her head to the side to look over her shoulder before he crashed his lips on hers in a bruisingly hard kiss. He groaned against her lips, tasting her flavour with his tongue. Claire reciprocated by kissing him ba
In the past few weeks, Quinn spent a lot of time with Jake and his son. They had gotten closer as Quinn always comforted Lucian when he asked about his mother. Jake was still trying to contact Charlotte. He sent her email several messages, asking her to at least make video calls to talk to Lucian. Charlotte was yet to respond. Regardless, Jake didn’t give up. He didn’t want his son to think his mother abandoned him. A few days ago, he had noticed that Lucian wasn’t as active as he usually was. Jake thought he was just exhausted since he had enrolled him in baby class. However, during the weekend when he planned to take Lucian and Quinn out, he found the little guy sleeping in his room. Lucian was sweating and kept making noises in his sleep. Jake touched his forehead and almost pulled his hand back at the body temperature of the boy. His body was so hot, Jake was worried the boy would go into shock. He quickly picked him up and informed Quinn who offered to go with them to the
“Oh my God! You’re so evil! How could you poison the child?” Kimberly yelled. Quinn ignored the nurse and helped Lucian who was vomiting non-stop. She glared at the screaming nurse and snapped, “Call the doctor! Quickly!”Kimberly did call the doctor but she didn’t forget to be dramatic about it. She kept yelling, grabbing everyone’s attention. “Doctor, this woman has poisoned her stepson! He’s vomiting after eating the porridge she’s feeding him!” “Somebody, call security before this woman runs away! She wants to kill an innocent child!”“Doctor, you’re needed here quickly!” Kimberly yelled dramatically. A few other nurses gathered outside the ward to see what was going on. The doctor ran into the ward and checked on Lucian. He said, “I suspect that he’s been given a laxative.” “What?” Quinn’s eyes widened in shock. “That’s not possible. I got this food from the hospital kitchen!”“It’s very possible! You want to get rid of the child so that you keep Mr Norton’s wealth to yoursel
In the Doctor’s office at the paediatrics department, Quinn, Jake, Kimberly, the doctor and a few security personnel were silent as they watched the footage on the laptop screen. Lucian was left with his nanny while they tried to solve this issue. As they watched the footage, they watched as Quinn left the ward after asking a nurse to watch over Lucian. The next thing they saw was her returning with a bowl of porridge on a tray. The footage of her entering the kitchen was cut off. “Why is there only this footage? Where's the rest?” Jake questioned. “The cameras near the kitchen were undergoing maintenance. But from this footage, we can see the madam bringing the porridge to the ward herself. She could have poisoned it on the way,” one of the security guys said. Kimberly chipped in. She uttered, “That’s right! Even if we can’t see the other videos, this shows that no one else touched the boy’s porridge. Arnold, arrest this evil woman!”“Wait…” Jake remarked. He arched an eyebrow a
Jake ran a hand through his hair, feeling confused as hell. Lucian wasn’t his son?He furrowed his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes at the doctor. He said, “Doctor, I had a DNA test done from this same hospital. I have no doubt Lucian is my son. If he doesn’t have my blood group or Charlotte’s, I only expect him to be O negative or positive. So, where did the A positive come from?” The knowledge he had from his biology classes in high school came in handy at that moment. There was no way his son would have a different blood group if his parents were both B-positive. Jake knew what this could mean but he didn’t want to believe it. Charlotte was anything but a deceiver. She wouldn’t pin another man’s child on him… would she?He shared a look with Quinn and the emotions she saw in his eyes made her stretch out her hand to hold his comfortingly. “Perhaps there’s been a mistake, Jake. Let’s verify with another DNA test,” Quinn suggested, squeezing Jake's hand. “I would be happy to help y
