When I visited the other room I was surprised to see two men in black suits guarding the door. Then Ms. Charlotte exited the room before I could even place the cardkey and twist the door knob. “ Oh Mistress! You started me.” Ms. Charlotte held her chest as she stared back and forth to me and the two body guards. “ What’s the matter? Is Claire still inside?” I question knowing these people are not Clyde’s body guard. These people are more buff, tall with natural blonde hair. Ms. Charlotte was a bit hesitant at first but at the end she spoke still. “ Since the other day Ms. Claire didn’t go home. When the bodyguard urges her to come with them she beats the two but her husband sends new guards and she’s more pissed.” I pat her back, Ms. Charlotte must have been surprised to see that dark side of Claire. Beat them up? I bet they just let their Mistress punch them to ease her anger. If I'm not wrong the couple must have fought which is why she hasn't gone home. “ Please hand them some
After the long chat with Claire and when she finally settled down. We started to get ready to go to Harlington's Mansion. Thankfully, we still arrived on time to have lunch with Clyde's family. I was so amazed, by seeing the simple yet elegant mansion, where Clyde's parents live. We were welcomed by a taller gate that automatically opened when Clyde swipes a card on the monitor. On the way inside the mansion, I saw a white fountain and plenty of flowers and trees surrounding the place, making it so relaxing in the eyes. When we step out of the car, Amanda and Christopher greet us at the front door of the mansion. " Ohh I'm so glad you guys can make it! "Amanda greeted us cheerfully, hugging each one of us. " Come, let's go inside, everybody! " She cheerfully said, inviting everyone in. " Are you hungry, Little guy?" She asked Alexander. " A little bit, Mamita." Alexander replied. I'm glad he started to communicate with his grandparents better than the first time he met them and
Time passed by without us noticing it. It was around six in the evening when Claire showed up, knocking in Clyde's room. " Ohh, my god! I can't believe you guys are still here?" She teases when I open the door to let her in. " Thank my wife, she asked me to stay for a bit longer." Clyde answered for me. " Hmn. Well, aren't you the most beautiful woman I have ever known? And, to make my brother stay in this mansion for a longer period of time made me believe that you really bewitched him." Claire's exaggerated face made me laugh. " Really? I don't know about that, I just asked him if we can stay and he said ok? So we are still here." I said to Claire with amusement written all over my face. I mean, honestly? Do I really have that much power over Clyde? For me It's just a simple request, which he granted. And what's so wrong with staying here? The mansion is definitely cozy and warm, it even looks so lively after a few more people live-in. " Yep! You certainly bewitched my brother,
“Why are they here?” She whispered to her husband. “ I came to ask for your mother’s help since you don’t want to talk to me no matter how much i tried.” Mikhail explained which made Claire squint her eyes at him. “ And you even dared involve my parents? How dare you Mikhail!” She shouted that made the girl startled. “ Fuck!” She cursed and walked towards the woman who bore her husband's child. Staring at her almost lifeless green orbs she felt something was odd about her. “ May I speak to her?” Claire asked and the woman nodded her head. “ Yulia, sweetie sorry i startled you, but please know that Aunty is not angry with you or your mom. Auntie Claire is just a bit upset with daddy.” Claire brushes her head and she can’t help but feel emotional especially when she looks at the child's face that resembles her father’s face. Yulia nodded her head “spasibo, tetya” ( Thank you Auntie ) She spoke in her native language. Claire gave her a gentle smile and patted her head. “ Good girl.
After Claire and her husband came out of the room with hands entwined with each other. I sigh in relief seeing the brightness in their eyes, Amanda was even prasing her like everyone does. When Claire met my eyes we just grinned with each other. I know, everything went well. On the other hand the woman with green eyes looked exhausted so Mikhail excused themselves and we all bid them goodbye. “ Hey, buddy, thank you for taking care of our dear Yulia, Aunt Claire promised to visit you soon in Jefferson city.” Claire kissed Alexander's head and when she glanced at me we both smiled with each other. “ If you need someone to talk to, just dial my number.” I said. “ I will Alec, no, scratch that. I'll just borrow my brother’s private jet plane and come visit you all.” I chuckled. “ That’s up to you Claire.” I said before glancing at her husband. “ See you around Mikhail.” He said thank you and shooked Clyde’s hand. “ Take care brother.” He said in his thick accent. “ All of you as w
“Oh there you are, Did you have a good nap?” Christopher asked when Alexander came down with us from the staircase. “ Hi, grandpa, yes I did.” My son walked to his grandparents giving them both a hug and a kiss. “ How does it feel to sleep in your father’s room?” His mamita asked. “ It was awesome Mamita and daddy and I looked so much alike.” “ That’s right when your Aunt Claire showed a photo of you and her I was really jealous.” Amanda carefully said. Since my son doesn't know that Clyde actually hid our existence to his grandparents for our own safety. “ Mom, you can visit us anytime you want.” Clyde averted the discussion. “ Daddy is right, Mamita, when you visit I will introduce to you my lovely Aunty Granny. She makes the best carrot cake in the entire world.” Alexander exaggerated. Everyone laughs about it. “ Oh goodness dear, does that mean the carrot cake I made wasn't to your liking?” Amanda asked. “ No Mamita, it's not right to compare food other people make. Esp
I woke up from the small kisses on my neck. I hummed and tried to pull him away, but that was the only time I realized he was on top of me. Slowly my hum became a moan which completely woke me up. I wanted to protest, but those remained inside my head as I felt him press his manhood on my entrance. My body moves like it has its mind and encircled my legs to his hips, readying myself to feel Clyde's protruding thing raw and deeper inside of me. When I felt him thrust inside of me. It was then that I opened my eyes and was greeted by his alluring-smirking face. His hair was still a mess, probably because of me grasping on it last night and Goodness. Watching his shoulder flexed bending down deepening his trust in me made me grip him tighter. I felt my nails digging a little on the skin of his back when he started ramming deeper and faster. I gasp for air feeling Clyde’s manhood filled me completely inside and everytime he penetrates me with no reservation. My lungs seem to have a prob
Clyde insisted on personally driving us to my parent's house but I refused him one last time and I'm glad he eventually gave up. This is the last thing I wanted to do and after this, we are flying back to Jefferson City in the evening. If things go south I'll just try one more time someday but now I’ll remain positive that they also healed from the pain and disappointment I caused them. Standing in front of my parents' house gave me a surreal feeling. While scanning the surroundings brought a smile to my face. This place still looked the same. I remember my childhood days when Zoe and I would pick a bunch of flowers from our neighborhood. We got a lot of scolding from our parents when they complained about us ruining their garden. I always felt sorry for Zoe because at that time she got all the blame. Even if I tell them it's my idea. They will never believe me. Zoe was always the opposite of me, brave, courageous, and free-spirited. I on the other hand was a more reserved, scaredy ca
As we lay together in the quiet of our bedroom, the soft light from the bedside lamp casting a warm glow over the room, I turned to Clyde. His gaze met mine, and the depth of emotion in his eyes stole my breath for a moment. Even after everything we had been through, he looked at me as though I was the most precious thing in his world.“I don’t know what I would have done without you,” I whispered, my voice trembling with sincerity. I reached up to trace the faint lines of his face, my fingertips gliding gently over his cheekbone and jaw. He caught my hand in his, pressing a kiss to my palm before placing it over his heart.“You’ll never have to find out,” he murmured, his voice low and steady. His uninjured arm wrapped around me, pulling me closer until our bodies fit together as if we were pieces of a puzzle. His warmth seeped into me, chasing away the lingering shadows of fear and uncertainty.Clyde’s fingers gently brushed a strand of hair away from my face, and he leaned in, his l
As I settled back into the rhythm of Oak Hill Villa, a month had passed since returning to this familiar place. My parents and in-laws living close by provided a comfort that barely masked the heavy weight of unspoken truths. I found myself navigating my day-to-day life amidst their warm presence, yet internally, I felt like I was teetering on the edge of something profound.Morning sickness visited me occasionally, an unsettling reminder of the new life inside me. This wasn’t just any pregnancy; Clyde knew I was having a twin. The knowledge shaped our conversations, casting a mix of excitement and anxiety across our daily interactions. But even with that revelation hanging between us, there remained a pressing silence about other secrets—Clyde's hidden truths that I uncovered. Just when I thought I might steal a moment to breathe, my phone buzzed; it was Nicole, her voice filled with urgency. "I need your help. Can James represent me in my custody case?" Nicole had saved my life onc
It was a crisp autumn afternoon when Clyde, our almost six-year-old son, Alexander, and I finally returned to Oak Hill Villa nestled in Jefferson County. The golden leaves of the surrounding oaks danced in the gentle breeze, catching the sunlight as if nature itself was celebrating our homecoming. The villa, with its stone facade and towering columns, stood as a testament to the beginning of a new chapter for our family. Yet today, it wasn't just a house—it was alive, brimming with anticipation and joy.For me, the journey back was especially meaningful. Though my belly was still flat, bearing twins made me long for the warmth and serenity of the villa. The moment the villa came into view, a wave of relief washed over me. "We’re home, Clyde," I said softly, my hand resting on my abdomen. Clyde reached over, squeezing my hand gently. "Yes, we are," he replied with a warm smile.Xander, seated in the back with an iPad in his lap, looked up and grinned. “Yes, we’re finally home, Daddy, a
I woke up with a feeling that someone was staring at me. When I opened my eyes I met my husband's eyes, it was so tender and loving that my hand couldn’t resist cupping his cheek with a smile etch on my lips.“ Morning, Beautiful, I’m sorry if I woke you up. I just want to feel your warmth for a brief second but I guess I overdo it.” He spoke scratching the back of his head.” I smile as I turn my body to the side to face him while I use my hand to support my head while never leaving his sight. I don't see the light in the curtain so that means the sun hasn't risen yet.“ Did you sneak out from your nurse and doctor my dear sneaky Clyde?” I asked while my hand reached for his and wrapped it with mine.“ On the contrary of my love, they did let me go but the male nurse was outside waiting for me.” He informed me , which made me nod my head before I finally helped myself to sit on the bed. Clyde rearranged the recliner so my legs could hang while I lifted my hand inviting my husband to my
I turned my body to the side, using my other arm as a support for my head while my other hand lifted to spread to the side some of Clyde’s hair that's covering his forehead. Upon closer look it seems like Clyde had more fine lines in his forehead and in between his brows. I can even imagine how he looked when I was kidnapped and thought I was drawn when I fell in the sea. I bit my lips because I felt like crying. “ Hi, My Sneaky Clyde.” I pause and place my palm on his cheeks that have growing stubble. “ Can you feel my warmth? I hope so. You know, I miss you so much. It felt like we’ve been apart more than the years I haven’t seen you. It’s probably because I love you. That's why not seeing each other even for a few days seems like decades to me.” I took my mask off and planted a kiss on Clyde’s lips. Then I took his left arm and gently placed it on my belly.“ I have good news for you Clyde, remember when you talk about having a football team? Well, congratulations because we’re
“ We will also head out so Mom and Dad can come and see you. Amanda was so eager to check on you but decided for us to buy you fruits. So make sure you try to eat all of them ok?” Claire rolled her eyes pointing to the big basket of fruits before patting my hand while smiling at me. Guessing by her reaction my mother in law probably overreacted seeing the wide variety of fruit in the basket. “ Thank you Claire and Mikhail.” Claire's husband just nodded his head as he placed his hand at the back of his wife while his free hand was holding Yulia’s.“ Bye Yulia, let's play later.” Alexander waved his hand to her and Yulia uttered “ok.” Waving back to my son. This fast few months that the Mikhaylov Family Live in our home in Oak Hill. The two became so close like they were real cousins. A smile forms on my face as my dad and mom come closer to the bed. Dad brushed my hair while mom took my hand and squeezed it gently. I can see Mom has misty eyes so I tried to cheer them up.“ I’m ok,Th
When we reached the airport it was only then that I realized that I had already forgotten about the file that I’ve just read. When I asked James he told me he will make sure to delete it because we left the secret room in a hurry and Neo was not instructed what to do with the file. I sight and thank him for everything. When I landed in Iowa City I was grateful to see that Mr. Fred was there waiting for me. When I glance at my phone it seems like nothing has changed after I left my husband. Sitting in the passenger seat I felt a throbbing pain in my head. This fast 24 hours has been a roller coaster ride. The overwhelming stress, flying back and forth to this city but it doesn’t matter even though my legs are aching my stomach is a bit upset. As long as I can see Clyde the moment the sun rises up. I will be ok, we’ll that's what i thought but upon arriving in the hospital my stomach became unbearable that Amanda who just arrived as well notice my pale look.“ Goodness! Dear, how did yo
James looked worried about me but eventually said fine and I immediately clicked the file. It was a video compilation and It plays right away. The video looks a bit old, probably from six years ago when I was still pregnant with Alexander. I gasped when I saw myself in the video walking around with a big bump. Serving some customers who ordered my aunt's famous homemade carrot cake. The video was taken not far from where I stood . It was a scorching hot day and I remembered I collapsed from the heat but I don't remember how I ended up in the hospital without any injuries at all. But in the video the camera shivered the moment i held my head trying to fight off the dizziness that i am feeling at that moment and then everything became blank but not on the video who somehow still caught the entire event. Clyde stood behind me grabbing my shoulder with one arm making my body rest on him before he scooped me up, surprising the people around the cafeteria. My Aunt came out of the casa and
Chapter * 119 She Found The Answer *The room was huge and had a big bed near the balcony. Everywhere I look, the very walls of this room are basically filled with small or big picture frames of me while I was still pregnant, while I was working on my Aunts small Cafeteria, until I gave birth to Alexander. What caught my attention was the huge portrait I had with my son when he just turned one. I wonder if Clyde pays off the photographer to get a copy of it but it doesn’t matter. I know he was obsessed with us and somehow even though it defies practical reasoning. Deep in my heart I am glad that he was there in every milestone of our son. Even without knowing, just thinking how much effort he has to put in just to have a glimpse of us from afar. A stabbing pain fierce through my heart. I wipe the tears that slip down on my cheeks as I wonder how much pain he had suffered when he wanted to be with us and he couldn't. I glance at James whom I caught staring at me. His eye’s show sad emo
