36. A Proposal
Last Updated:
2021-06-17 21:41:55Ansel almost laughed out loud as his sister looked like she was about to pass out. He wasn't going to tell anyone about his impulsive decision to propose to Elisa, but Anya was his twin, and they always shared secrets. Besides, he planned on asking Elisa tonight.
"Come again?" Anya blinked twice and asked.
"I'm going to make Elisa my wife so she won't have to go anywhere else. She can permanently live with me," Ansel said.
"Um...wow...okay. I didn't see THAT coming. Does Elisa know of your plan?" Anya cleared her throat.
"No. And I'd appreciate it if you keep your blabbermouth shut until I tell her," Ansel said sharply.
"I don't have a blabbermouth," Anya protested.
Ansel shook his head impatiently. "Just don't tell anyone. Except for Connor, I guess. He is alright," he said.
"Are you in love with her?" Anya asked, and Ansel stopped in his track.
Love? He wasn't thinking about that. He just wanted to protect her. He fig

Elisa couldn't believe it.Ansel proposed to her without any effort on her part. And here she thought she'd have to go through much length to convince him. But she didn't have to do anything since he wanted her.But now what? What if she got pregnant even though she didn't have to carry his child? Oh god....She should've never let him come inside her. It was a spur of the moment decision, and now she'd have to be scared the whole month.Elisa sighed, feeling frustrated with herself. But then again, would it be so terrible to be the mother of his child? It'd make her position even more permanent. Their child would inherit his part of the wealth, and she'll never have to worry about money again.Elisa hated herself for having these thoughts, but at the same time, what was the point of feeling guilty? She was here to survive, and the only person she cared about was Audre."Come on, what are you waiting for? Let's go tell my parents about this,

Ansel looked at Elisa. She was quiet the entire ride home as if she was worried about something. Audre fell asleep, so there was nothing but uncomfortable silence. "Are you okay? That went well, don't you think?" he asked. "Yeah, it did," Elisa said quietly. "Then why do you look worried?" Ansel narrowed his eyes. Elisa looked like she was hiding something, and he didn't like that one bit. Ansel wasn't a fan of secrets. Elisa looked at him and smiled. "It's nothing. I'm just a little nervous, I guess." It made sense, but Ansel wasn't convinced. He wanted to push her for more answers but decided against it. There will be plenty of times to ask questions. He wondered if he made a mistake with his decision. What if marrying Elisa brings nothing but trouble in his otherwise drama-free life? But it's not like he can back out now. He had thought long and hard before making the decision. "I'll get Audre," Ansel said when they arrived

Gerald looked at the parking lot through the blinds and squinted his eyes. He had been laying low in this dingy Motel ever since Ansel Adams Chased him out of Elisa's house and called the cops on him. Fucking rich assholes. Always meddling in other people's business. Elisa got away from him again, and it was all his fault. He almost had her where he wanted her. At least he got to taste her sweet little cunt before he left. Ansel fucking Adams. Gerald was hot-blooded, but he wasn't stupid. He knew he had to make himself disappear as soon as he found out who he was. Ansel had connections. He could destroy him if he isn't careful, so he had to tread carefully. One wrong decision, and he could get locked up for good this time. Rage boiled inside him when he thought of him touching Elisa. His Elisa. That spoiled bitch thinks she could get rid of him so easily just because she met the right person at the right time, but she has another thing coming.

Earlier in the morning, Ansel woke up and started to get ready for work. Elisa was still sleeping, so he was extra careful not to make any noises. He stared at her for a few seconds and watched her chest rise and fall slowly. Long, dark tresses had fallen all over her face, and he had to resist the urge to brush them aside. Instead, he sighed and went to take a shower. He found Audre standing in the kitchen first thing morning with her hands on her tiny hip. "What are you doing?" he asked her. "You're up early," he grinned. Audre was pouting like a little grumpy old lady. "I'm hungry," Audre said and rubbed her eyes as if she was still half asleep. "Then wait for your mother to wake up, and I'm sure she'll make you breakfast," Ansel suggested. He wished he could have some of those she made before. Would she cook more food when they get married? "I'll go wake her up!" Audre's eyes turned bright at the mention of her mother. She looked like she

Elisa spent an entire afternoon in the kitchen so she could prepare dinner. She called Anya ahead of time and asked her about Ansel's favorite meals. "My brother is one lucky man, and he definitely does not deserve a woman like you,"Anya had said on the phone. Elisa blushed on her side. "I'm just trying to pay him back for everything he has done for me so far. I'm eternally grateful to him," she said. "Oh hush. He didn't do those things out of kindness. He did all that to win you over."Anya laughed."I think there's a strong possibility that he might be in love with you,"she added. There was not a chance in hell that was true, Elisa thought. "You are so wrong," she giggled. "You just wait and see Elisa. I know my brother, and he doesn't do nice things for people he doesn't love. But god knows how long it would take him to admit it. He had always been bad at expressing his true feeli

Elisa woke up in the morning but couldn't move as if something was holding her down. She opened her eyes and realized it was Ansel who had her trapped. He had his arms snaked around her body into a tight hug. She could tell he was in a deep state of sleep as his chest was slowly rising and falling, and his eyelids were twitching. She carefully untangled his arms from her waist and sat down on the bed. She looked at her phone, and it was still early, so Audre must still be sleeping. She didn't wake up until 8 am, and it was only 5 am. She stared at Ansel's face. He looked like an angel when he slept. His face looked almost boyish. His usual clean shaved face was full of stubbles, making him look more like a biker than a businessman. She never noticed his nice long eyelashes before. The man was beautiful, that's for sure. She blushed as she remembered last night. He was gentle and treated her body like it was something precious to him. If she didn't know any be

Anya was sitting by the window and reading Daddy Dearest by Eva Harlowe when she felt her first contraction. She put the book down and pressed her hand against her abdomen. It felt strange. She heard a popping noise that came from inside her body then she felt water trickling down her ankle. Did I just pee myself? Anya thought at first, but then she immediately realized what was happening. Her water broke! She dropped the book and grabbed the cellphone, and dialed 911. Then, she dragged herself to the bathroom. She wasn't overflowing with water like in movies, but she didn't want to take the risk of ruining the carpet. She called Connor but couldn't reach him. "Goddammit, you asshole! Why aren't you here when I need you?" she screamed by herself then called her mother. Ariel picked up the phone immediately. "Mom, I am about to have a baby. I need you," she whined. "Oh my god, sweetie. I'll be there as soon as possible!" her mom said ur

A week later, Elisa took Audre to her new school so she could help her settle in. "You are a big girl now, so behave yourself. Make lots of friends," Elisa said and kissed her on the forehead. "I will," she said. Elisa knew she had nothing to worry about. Audre was a social butterfly. She was surprised when she saw Ansel at home waiting for her. She didn't say anything for a while and just stared at him. He took his suit jacket off and had his shirt sleeves rolled up while he worked on his laptop. He was laser-focused, so he didn't hear her come in at first. She looked at his arms moving as he typed and started to get flustered. Something about those veins in those muscular arms on men turned her on. She snapped out of her trance when he looked up and saw her. "What's going on? Why aren't you at the office?" she asked after gathering her thoughts. "I brought home the stuff I need to work on because I wanted to spend mor

Elisa felt ill as she was on her way out. She almost changed he mind three times and decided to stay home and wait. But, she gave herself a pep talk and forced herself to go see Ansel. She couldn't wait until he came home from work. She needed to tell him now. The secret she had been keeping was driving her crazy. She felt like she was about to explode! She saw Audre in the kitchen and expected her to ask where she was going, but Audre was too busy chatting and laughing on the phone. "No, I love you more," Audre declared on the phone, then giggled. It's been a month since she came from the camp. Ever since then, she had been seeing Aleks. She is always on her phone texting him or having long conversations. Ansel groaned and complained about it at first, but he had eventually accepted their relationship. Aleks was a good kid, after all. "I'm going to have lunch with your dad. I'll be back soon," Elisa announced before leaving, even though she w

It was the last day of Summer Camp. Audre was sad that it ended, but she looked forward to going back home and be with her sisters. But then again, she knew she couldn't see Aleks first thing in the morning after she leaves and thinking about it made her sad. She wanted to see him before they all went their separate ways. She still had a few hours left before Steven came to pick her up. Aleks was in his cabin packing up his things. His eyes lit up as he looked up and saw her standing by the door. "Hey Curls, came to say goodbye?" he asked. Audre nodded. She couldn't hide her sadness. "I don't like this. I want to be with you," she said quietly. Aleks took her hand and pulled her closer. "It's not like we'll be separated forever. I'll see you when we get back home." He wrapped his arms around her. "Then we can continue the naughtiness," he whispered in her ear. Audre giggled. "My dad would kill you. He said I'm not allow

"I'm coming with you," Aleks announced. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Audre asked. "Why wouldn't it be?" Aleks looked at her questioningly. Then he remembered he never told Audre that he met her parents already. "Well, I forgot to tell you. I met your parents so it wouldn't be awkward. Audre looked at him with surprise. She didn't realize when she would ask her father for help. He'd actually want to meet Aleks personally. She felt horrified as she thought what kind of questions her father might've asked Aleks. "Um...how did that go? Meeting with my parents, I mean," she asked awkwardly. Aleks chuckled. "They aren't that bad," he said. Audre felt relieved. "Okay, then you can come with me. I could use your support." Aleks pulled her into a hug and kissed her hair. "I am always here for you, Curls." Audre felt grateful. "Okay," she said and smiled. Steven drove her to her parents' house alongside Aleks. Audre
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 85. Not Again
Audre took a shower and got ready to meet Aleks at the treehouse. Her heart was beating fast as the time drew nearer. She felt restless. She swore to him that she wouldn't let him touch her unless they finished their talk, but she didn't know if she would stop him. It's not that he was the only one who gets turned on when they are close to each other! She quietly left her cabin. Kim and Kimmie were fast asleep. They went to bed early after working an almost 12-hour shift. "Hey you." Audre halted as she heard a voice behind her. She stepped back as she saw a shadow of a man approaching. "Little Audre. Don't you remember me? It's your uncle Kaelan," the man said. Audre remembered instantly. She had seen him passing by when her mom took her to her grandpa's house. He never bothered to say hi to her or tried to have a relationship as her uncle. What was he doing here at her camp of all places? "Yes I know you but why are you here?"
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 84. Tell Me Everything
"Do you think Kaelan would go after Audre?" Ansel looked at Elisa thoughtfully. "I wouldn't put it past him. I just can't believe what kind of man he had become. He had always been a kid who got himself wrapped up in bad situations. I tried to help him as best as I could, and I never thought he would fall this far," Elisa shook her head in disappointment. "I know you did, baby," Ansel said and kissed her forehead. "But he doesn't know where Audre is. How would he know that?" "I know, but still...what if he had been following her or something?" Elisa frowned. "You are right. We need to keep a lookout. Good thing the camp is almost over, but until then, maybe I should send someone to keep a watch over her," Ansel said. Elisa shook her head. "Audre will not be happy about this," she said. "I'll make sure she never finds out. So who is it that Kaelan owes money to?" Ansel asked. He hadn't thought about Elisa's brother ever since he almost

Audre was confused after hanging up the phone with her mother. It seemed that everyone remembered Aleks but her. Also, she sounded worried. What was she so concerned about? Audre decided to confront Aleks about how they met the first time since the last time she asked, he gave her a vague answer. She waited until she was done with work. Then she sneaked away after everyone was asleep. Aleks asked her to meet him at the treehouse earlier, so this was her chance to ask questions. "Aleks, are you in ther..." she gasped as he grabbed her arm and pulled her under him. "Hey!" she protested and tried to sit up, but he pushed her back down. "I missed you," he said and covered her mouth with his before she could say anything else. She moaned as he nibbled on her lower lip softly, then slipped his tongue inside her parted mouth. She closed her eyes and kissed him back, then pried his lips off of hers. "Wait...Aleks...I wanted to talk to you abou

"Guys, stop fighting! You can both play the game," Elisa said irritably as she watched Ira and Ivy fight over the controller. "No, we can't! This is a one person game, and Ira had been hogging it for two hours," Ivy complained. "No I'm not! It has only been 40 minutes," Ira said. "You are a liar!" Ivy screamed. "Am not!" "Are too!" "Alright girls, that's enough," Elisa scolded. It was a quiet afternoon and she wanted to lie down by the window and read. But now, it was not so quiet and relaxing anymore, thanks to the twins. Ira threw the controller across the room. The girl always had the worst temper. And now, at thirteen years of age, it has gotten even worse. "Ira! Do not throw things. I'm not buying you another one if it's broken," Elisa told her. Ira sighed. "I miss Audre. When will she get back?" "Me too. I miss her too," Ivy nodded. "The summer is almost over, so she'll be back soon. Until

"What?" Audre asked as Kim kept staring at her in the morning. Audre managed to sneak back inside the cabin with her roommate's knowledge and quietly went to sleep. "Something is different about you this morning," Kim squinted her eyes. "You need glasses because there's nothing different about me. I'm the same old, boring Audre," Audre said. "I bet Aleks would disagree," Kim grinned. Audre blushed. Does Kim suspect something? But how could she know? "You're crazy. I'm going, I gotta lot to do," Audre giggled and ran out before Kim suspects anything more. The rest of the day, she spent time teaching kids and helping other counselors what whatever they needed. She stayed out of Blair's way as much as possible. She passed by Aleks, who was setting up woods on the firepit for the campfire later tonight. He flashed her a mischievous smirk, and it was turning her cheeks red. Memories of last night flashed before her e

"Audre, don't. I told you I was only joking." Aleks grabbed her hand and chuckled before she took his shirt off completely. Audre breathed slowly as she looked at his naked chest. He may be playing around but seeing him like this turned her on. "But I'm not joking," she whispered and trailed her fingernail across his chest. "Audre I..." Aleks stopped talking and moaned instead as she pressed her lips on his chest. She smiled as she felt him shudder. So she wasn't the only one sensitive to touches. She unbuttoned his shirt and took it off entirely. Aleks tangled his fingers through her hair as she covered his chest with small featherlike kisses. "This isn't going to end well," he growled. "You talk too much." Audre trailed her lips from his chest to his neck then stopped when they met his lips. Aleks's grip on her hair tightened. He slipped his tongue inside her mouth and kissed her harder while slowly backing her against the bed. She f
