Back in the sanctuary of my apartment, I couldn't shake the lingering unease that had trailed me from Timothy's. I’d made a promise to him, yet, as I recalled the chart I had drawn – a web of names and connections – I couldn't resist the urge to dip back into my findings. I brought out the chart an
“What is it?” I asked. "Open it. It might brighten your week if you’re willing to show," Mia said, her smile unwavering. I forced a small smile in return, though the weight of suspicion lingered as I cracked open the card. "Oh." Mia glanced around the apartment, her eyes lingering on the covered
I greeted them both, but Mia's cold silence in response sent a chill down my spine. Something was amiss. "Hey! What's going on?" I asked, trying to dispel the tension. Timothy sighed, glancing at Mia before responding, "Hey, Evie. I was about to head out with you, but your mother here seems to hav
Mia waved her hand dismissively. "Evie, Kamran was probably doing what he thought was best. It didn't seem like he cared much about Stella in the matter." My annoyance flared. "You're defending him? This makes Timothy look bad too!" Mia shot me a condescending look. "Evie, sometimes you're so desp
As we walked through the lavish home, Mia greeted everyone with a warm smile, introducing me as her beloved daughter. The opulent surroundings seemed to amplify the tension, and Timothy's presence became an unspoken challenge. Mia, however, glossed over any potential discomfort, determined to mainta
Mia's claim that we hailed from a wealthy background rattled me to my core. My memories flashed back to my lower middle-class father, struggling to pay bills and drowning his sorrows in alcohol. I had to chip in at a young age to make ends meet. The stark contrast between Mia's illusions and the rea
The sudden outburst drew the attention of everyone around us, creating a chaotic scene. "What's going on?" Timothy demanded, his voice edged with concern and confusion as he took my hand. Monica, seemingly in distress, pointed accusingly at Timothy. "You! You're the one! You did this to Stella!"
"Evie," she said, her tone dripping with barely concealed disdain as she capped off her lipstick. "To what do I owe the displeasure?" I swallowed hard, bracing myself for the confrontation. "Scarlett, I... I need to talk to you." She crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing. "I'm listening." "Look
"Plenty of space here,” he started. “I figured…we could easily convert this into a nursery someday." My heart skipped a beat at his words, the mere suggestion sending a wave of emotions crashing over me. A nursery—our nursery. The thought of starting a family with Timothy filled me with a sense of
As Timothy led me through the threshold, his hands cupping my eyes gently, I couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in my chest. This was it—the moment we had been waiting for. Our new beginning, our haven. Duke trotted alongside us, his tail wagging in anticipation. I could sense the air th
The flight back home felt like a whirlwind, the memories of our honeymoon paradise fading into the background as the reality of returning to our everyday lives set in. But as the plane touched down and we made our way through the bustling airport, a knot of anxiety tightened in my chest at the thoug
"Welcome, welcome!" she exclaimed, her voice as sweet as honey. "Would you like to try some of our local fruits?" We nodded eagerly, and she began slicing pieces of fruit with practiced ease, offering them to us on skewers. I reached for a slice of mango, its flesh ripe and juicy beneath my finger
As the plane descended toward the island, my heart fluttered with excitement. The anticipation bubbled within me as the tropical paradise came into view, its crystal-clear waters shimmering like liquid sapphires beneath the golden sun. We stepped off the plane into paradise, the air heavy with the
When it finally came time to, he entered me, and my teeth clenched as I stretched around his erection. I gasped as he began to move inside me, each thrust slow and deep. The pleasure intensified until at last I was teetering on the edge of oblivion. I clung to him desperately, my nails digging into
As the festivities of our wedding night drew to a close, Timothy and I found ourselves heading up to the honeymoon suite, drunk on love and excitement. The air crackled with anticipation as we stumbled through the door, our laughter echoing off the walls. The soft glow of candlelight cast ethereal
The lights dimmed and the room fell silent. On the large screen at the front of the room, images of Timothy and his mother, Lydia, began to flash by, accompanied by gentle music that tugged at the heartstrings. I watched as Timothy's tearful gaze locked onto the screen, his eyes filled with a mixt
As I stood at the altar, my heart pounding with nervous anticipation, I could feel the weight of the moment bearing down on me like a heavy cloak. But as Timothy approached, his eyes shining with love and adoration, the world around me seemed to fall away, leaving only the two of us in its wake. W
