"Thalia!" A gasp left Claire's lips just as a deep flush crossed her face and spread to her neck. She could feel Oliver's eyes on her and she didn't dare look up at him, her heart pounding. "She isn't wrong, Ma'am. A picture of you and your husband sharing a kiss would look lovely in your home," the photographer urged. "Yes, yes! You can frame it and hang it on the wall! I've seen many families do that," Thalia remarked. "Daddy, what are you waiting for? Give Mommy a kiss and take a picture." Claire was about to argue when Oliver tightened his hold around her waist and declared, "Ok, I'll give Mommy a kiss." "No, you're not!" Claire snapped, glaring up at Oliver. "It's just an innocent kiss... Thalia is watching," Oliver pointed out in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. Claire glanced at Thalia and saw how her large doe eyes glinted in anticipation. She wound up biting back the refusal that was on the tip of her tongue. Sighing deeply, she silently agreed. "

The hours passed by in a pleasant blur and soon, the sun began to set, casting an ember glow to the sky. Looking at the time, Claire was about to suggest leaving when her phone interrupted her. Seeing that it was Roxanne Smith-Ford calling, she quickly picked up. "Yes, Auntie." "Claire, dear, can you come over to our mansion?" Roxanne requested. "I've made dinner and I want Thalia to see her other home. Is that ok with you?"Claire bit her lip. Warmth crept into her when Roxanne asked her if she was ok with it. Others would have just demanded to see the child without caring whether she was ok with it or not. She turned her head and glanced over at Thalia and Oliver who didn't seem ready to part with each other yet. Sighing internally, she agreed, "Sure. We will be there soon." When she cut the call, Claire walked over to the two and asked her daughter, "Do you want to go to Grandma Roxanne's home?" Thalia's eyes lit up and she nodded her head too many times, exclaiming, "Y

"Mommy, can we sleep here tonight? Grandma wants to read me stories," Thalia asked Claire whilst rubbing her sleepy eyes. Claire knew her daughter wouldn't even listen to the story since she was already sleepy. However, the child appeared to want to spend more time with her father's family. "You can stay the night, Claire. Oliver’s room is available," Roxanne said and winked at her son. "I don't mind if you make me another grandchild." Claire's face flushed. Her eyes widened and she stammered, "I - I don't think... oh my god! Him and I are not- Um..." "Relax. You will be in the guest room," Oliver remarked in amusement and Claire breathed out in relief. She glanced at the older couple and stated, "We will stay the night since Thalia is already sleepy." They were done with dinner a little while ago and were sitting in the living area. Roxanne wanted to help Oliver with pursuing Claire so she told Thalia to ask her mother if they could stay overnight. "We will leave you two to c

“Give me a chance to show you that I can still be your friend,” Oliver stated while looking into Claire’s hazel-green eyes. His cerulean blue eyes held so many emotions and when he looked at Claire, it was like he could peer right into the depths of her soul. Claire sighed, her heart pounding as she held the teddy bear close to her chest. This teddy bear was the only special thing she owned back then. It was the only thing that reminded her of her mother, yet, she gave it to Oliver on his ninth birthday since she didn’t have money to buy him any gift like the other rich kids. At first, she thought Oliver wouldn’t like it since it didn’t compare to the expensive gifts he had received. However, not only did he like it but he had been keeping it all this while. Her stomach did a little flip when she thought about why he would hold on to a gift that she had given him years ago. The icy walls around her heart melted. She glanced up at Oliver and replied, “I don’t know if we can be

Claire blushed profusely when they pulled apart and the cheers of their colleagues made it worse. Oliver smirked in amusement. He stepped forward and suddenly grabbed the back of her neck. Claire gasped. Her eyes rounded at him and she asked, "W-what are you doing?" "Stay still," Oliver whispered, his voice huskier than normal. "We can only eat the apple at the same time if the both of us are still." Claire's stomach was a fluttery mess as Oliver looked into her eyes. The apple swang by and she watched as he bit into it before bringing the apple to her lips. Heat crept up her face as they both took bites of the apple, never leaving their positions. It looked like they were sharing a deep kiss as their heads moved slowly from side to side, trying to eat the apple at every angle. To Oliver, this game was so hot. He felt a pleasurable tingle rush down his spine and he tried his best to hold back a groan. As the apple got smaller, the closer he was to Claire's lips. Going in f

Katherine Scott had noticed something different about her daughter lately. She smiled a lot and often giggled to herself like a teenager who was deeply in love for the first time. They talked less about their plans for revenge and Claire seemed to be avoiding her for some reason. That night, she waited for Claire to return so that she could ask her what was going on. However, the moment Claire came home, she rushed to call Thalia who called Oliver Ford her Daddy. This discovery hurt and angered Katherine at the same time. After what she had told Claire about the Fords, how could she go behind her back and interact with them? Not only that, they now knew Thalia was Oliver's daughter... it was only a matter of time before they found out about her and the plans they had. “Mom...” Claire said, sighing deeply. “I heard Thalia calling Oliver Ford Daddy. Did you tell him?” Katherine Scott asked in an accusatory tone. Her eyes fell on the teddy bear that Thalia was holding tightly

“I’m sorry I cut your call the last time you called... I was in an important meeting,” Wesley explained to Claire as they had their lunch. “It’s ok... I needed your help with something but I sorted it out,” Claire replied and remembered how Oliver went out of his way to search for Thalia. Warmth began to spread through her heart but she shook her head, immediately squashing those thoughts that were leading to one Oliver Ford. 'Don't think about him, Claire. Remember why you came here,' she silently scolded herself. “What happened?” Wesley asked curiously. “My daughter was kidnapped but luckily we found her quickly,” Claire replied, a shiver running down her spine at the memory. “Have you found the culprit? I can help you investigate –“ “Thank you but Oliver is handling it,” Claire cut in, rejecting his offer. Speaking of, she had not asked him about the progress yet. She needed to know who kidnapped her baby girl and why. “Oliver, huh? You two close again?” Wesley asked after a

In the evening, the family of three ate out before going to the villa instead of the usual penthouse that Oliver stayed in. “You have two homes?” Claire asked as they drove into a gated community for the wealthy. “I want this villa to be my home... Our home,” Oliver responded as he manoeuvred the car and drove into a big yard. There was a massive mansion at the end of the yard. It stood tall and proud amidst neatly maintained lawns and lush gardens. The mansion was like a five-star hotel, with towering walls and a majestic entrance gate adorned with intricate designs. “Wow! Our home is big!” Thalia exclaimed as she glanced at the mansion in awe. It wasn’t as big as Roxanne’s and Henry’s but it was big enough for a family of six. It had a modern touch with most of the walls being made of floor-to-ceiling windows. When they walked through the massive doors, Claire froze in her tracks. The house was exactly how she had envisioned her dream house. With creamy neutrals incorporate

Years came and went... After a warm shower, Oliver stood behind his wife to help her wear the necklace that was engraved with their children's names. "So, you know what today is?" He asked as he placed the necklace around her neck. "How could I forget?" Claire arched an eyebrow. "You've been talking about it for months.""Yes... because I've been preparing a vacation for us for when this day comes. I can't believe it's been eight years already," Oliver remarked. When he was done putting the necklace around Claire's neck, he placed a soft kiss in the crook of her neck before saying, "You've made me the happiest man on earth, Angel."Claire sighed before leaning back into Oliver. She remarked, "Time flies."Everything was going well for everyone. Oliver Ford had taken over as chairman of the Ford Corporation after his father, Henry Ford, retired. With Oliver's leadership, the company was taken to greater heights and it expanded to more foreign countries. As for his marriage with Cl

"Uncle Jake. Remember how you owe me?" Thalia said with her arms crossed over her chest. "I'm here to collect."Oliver, Jake and Liam were left to babysit the kids while their women went out to relax. The men chose to let the kids play in the playroom while they caught up on a few soccer games that they had missed during the week. However, Thalia saw this as an opportunity to collect her debt from one Jake Norton. He was seated in the living area, invested in a soccer game when she confronted him. Jake's eyes widened. He didn't expect the little one to interrupt him when the game was just getting good. His favorite team were leading and he wanted to see how it would end. He chuckled and replied, "You want to collect now? Let's wait until the game is over, ok?""Are you trying to run away from paying your debt, Uncle Jake? A real man sticks to his words," Thalia remarked in her adorable voice. Jake sighed. He said, "Ok, you win, sweetheart. So, tell me. What do you want me to do f

A few weeks later..."I can't believe you guys are having a double wedding! I'm so freaking jealous! I want to get married again so that we have a triple wedding!" Claire exclaimed after Quinn and Aria were done with their makeup."Oh my... you two look so gorgeous. I love the designer wedding dresses," Claire remarked with a smile plastered on her face. "It was more convenient since we were both getting married this year. Besides, Jake and Liam are ecstatic about getting married on the same day," Quinn replied, smiling. They had come to that decision during Thalia's birthday party. Oliver suggested it and the rest thought it was a good idea. "I'm more surprised that Aria is getting married. She's just a year older than me. We promised to get married at thirty," Evelyn remarked. She sighed and looked at her friend in awe. "You make such a beautiful bride, Ari. Congratulations."Aria smiled, looking at herself in the mirror. She couldn't recognise herself. With her hair pulled up int

Liam entered Aria’s apartment for the first time. He noted how cosy and homely it felt. There were blue couches in the living room and grey curtains on the windows. Liam’s eyes fell on the portrait of a little boy hanging on the wall. His heart raced as he looked at the boy who had dark brown curly hair with fair skin and hazel eyes. ‘Is that my son?’ He thought in his mind. The boy took after Aria but he had his eyes. Liam's heart felt warm. He glanced at Aria and eagerly asked, "Where's Jayce? Where's my son?""He should be in the kitchen with his nanny. Let me get him," Aria responded, her stomach a bundle of nerves. She still couldn't believe what was happening. It all felt surreal. Just the previous day, she didn't know who Jayce's father was, but now, not only did she find out who it was, but he also proposed to her. Who knew she would end up with the stranger she had a one-night stand with?Her heart was filled with warmth and sweetness. Aria looked for her son and sure e

Sophia Hill was over the moon at the thought of her long-time dream finally coming true. When she left the special forces and joined Liam’s company as part of his security team, she developed a crush on him.She did all she could to get noticed by him and when Liam noticed how good she was, he promoted her to be his personal bodyguard. However, that was just it. Liam never made a move on her or spared her a glance. Sophia thought since he was a player, it wouldn’t be hard for him to fall for her. However, nothing of that sort happened. Liam kept her as a bodyguard and never saw her as anything more. A chance came for Sophia to make Liam hers. He accidentally got drugged at a party and Sophia was ecstatic about such a great opportunity. To her shock, she found him making love to another woman in the room she had booked for him. Fierce jealousy rushed through Sophia and she wanted nothing but to separate the two but it was too late. All she could do was wait until Liam was done. She

Liam’s heart was beating like a drum within the walls of his chest. He took in a deep breath as he held the envelope. His friends stood beside him, waiting to read the results with him. Oliver patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry… even if you don’t turn out to be the father, you still love Aria and you will be with her.”“That’s right. Look at me and Lucian. We may not be related by blood but he’s my son and I love him. I’m sure Aria’s son will love you regardless.” Liam let out a breath. He glanced at his friends and they nodded at him in encouragement. Ignoring his pounding heart, he opened the envelope and took out the document with trembling hands. “The results are usually at the bottom of the page,” Jake remarked. “Don’t waste your time reading the statistics.”Liam’s eyes went to the bottom of the page and he read the results in his heart. A smile crossed his lips before it turned into a grin. “The child is mine! Aria’s son is mine! Haha! I have a son!” Liam exclaimed,

“What?” Jake’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. “Is it the same Aria we all know? Wait, she’s back?”Liam almost laughed at his friends' reaction. He knew they would be shocked. He and Aria had a huge age gap but surprisingly, they got along well. No one would know they were nine years apart in age if they saw them together. This was why Liam was convinced she was the one. He wanted someone he could relate well with as a wife. Forever is a long time to be with someone you can't stand. He nodded and replied, “Yes, it’s her. She’s working at my company-”“Liam… she’s like a sister to me. Are you really in love with her or you’re taking advantage of her?” Oliver questioned, his eyes narrowed down at his friend. “I wouldn’t propose to her if I didn’t love her-”“You what? Are you crazy? Do you think Uncle Adrian will agree? He knows you’re a player,” Oliver said. “You could have started by winning him over first.” “Well, I’ll do that but first, there’s something I need he

Liam's hand trembled when he held the familiar bracelet in his hands. What did this mean? Why was this bracelet with Aria?He took in a sharp breath, his heart clenching at the memory that flashed through his mind as he examined the bracelet. It was definitely this bracelet. He may not remember anything from that night but he remembered how brutal he was. The drug had taken full effect and he lost control. It was like a beast within him was unleashed and he devoured the woman who had walked into his room without mercy.This was why he felt guilty when he found out it was Sophia. He was so rough and probably hurt her during the session. This was why he kept her around to compensate her. However, the bracelet in his hand brought back part of his long-lost memory. The woman beneath him was struggling when he became so rough he had to grab her neck to pound into her like a crazed beast. He recalled how she held his wrist and the bracelet in his hand was on her wrist. The bracelet was m

"Why can't you take me seriously, cupcake? I really want to marry you," Liam said after Aria tried to brush off his words as bluff. Who didn't know that Liam never wanted to get married? He had been announcing it for years since she knew him. She chuckled and uttered, "You don't need to lie, Liam. I know you." Liam furrowed his eyebrows. He remarked, "There you go again using my reputation to judge me. I want to marry you, Aria. You're the right one for me... I can feel it in my bones."“B-But you haven’t even met my son yet,” Aria mumbled when she realised he wasn't joking. “I’ll meet him before we have our wedding,” Liam replied. Aria’s eyes widened into saucers. She asked, “We will have a wedding?”“Of course! Isn’t that how people get married?” Liam arched an eyebrow. “I thought you wanted a contract marriage. Like you need a wife and I’m available-”“It’s not a contract. I want to marry you for life,” Liam proclaimed. “Till death do us part.”Aria bit her lower lip as she th
