Chapter 22

Charles returned to California desolated. His beautiful thoughts shattered after he heard the word 'son ' come out of Aliza's lips. How could she move on this fast with already a son in her way? Was she cheating on him? Did she ever think of him after leaving? Was he the only one among them to fall in love and suffer? Why did she cheat on him (her fiance) for Larry who was just an acquaintance for her?

Charles wanted to ask her about the list of all these questions that created a turmoil in his mind but as soon as the word 'son' fell out of Aliza's lips, everything shattered around him and his mind went blank after that.

Outwardly he was a man with every happiness in the world and dreams fulfilled but the world did not know his heart was like a barren land with no single plant to fruit. With an empty soul and zero happiness in his life Charles diverted all his energy only on business. He worked hard night and day and the Richmond Industries which was already #1 in United S

    Chapter 23Ahead was a picture of Aliza which dropped from the file. Charles's vision fortuitously fell on her digits and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Their engagement ring was still on her finger. His eyes went wide in a sweet surprise staring stock-still at her photo like a billions worth deal has just been showered upon him. He was off the space enthralled with excitement and his heart raced with a speed of thousand miles per second until Jack brought him back with his words. "Sir, what happened, are you okay? Is something wrong?"Charles couldn't control but leave his lips spread to a jubilation. His stance was filled with happiness to know Aliza was still his. He felt he was over the moon and the happiest person on earth. "Yes. I'm fine Jack. Nothing is wrong." He stressed on the word 'nothing' in blessedness. "In fact after years of continuous consternation my kernel settles happily and stable now with your file. Thank you for the help. You did a great job." He patte

The words of the doctor brought goosebumps in the nerves of Aliza not only for knowing that her son would live but for the gift given to her. "Oh thank you so much doctor....thank you so much." Aliza is ecstatic with her eyes sparkling like stars. Charles was filled with unbound happiness after hearing the words of the physician. With an invitation of a cheerful grin on his features he shook hands with the oncologist. "Thank you for your care and attention towards my son Dr George. I'm grateful to you." He says in a pleased smile. Aliza jumps off her seat with sleeping Asher in her lap and sits on Charles hugging him tight. She wasn't in the responsiveness of her surroundings after hearing the overwhelming good news but the gray haired physician understood it well. "I will give you a moment Mr and Mrs Rodriguez."

    Chapter 26"Charles...." Aliza began to have shorter breaths. "I promise you Liza whatever the reason may be I am going to try keeping myself in control and understand you. But I wish to tell you in advance this is a bitter pill both of us have to swallow accepting the challenge of whatever it gives." Charles held her firmer, pulling her more to his chest in order to give her the psychological strength. Aliza closed her eyes for a moment ready to brace the situation. "That day after we were together I was...I was." She hiccuped. "You are fine Liza. I am here to take care of every wrong that happened in our family to change it to right, just like I did for Asher. You just need to have trust in me." Charles assured pulling Liza to his chest and running his hands on her back. "Here, drink some water." He clutched her to his chest and extended the water glass to her lips making her sit along with him. Aliza continued. "You sent me to my cabin to make preparations for the next meet an

    Chapter 30The next morning Charles woke up with an acute headache because of the previous night's over drinking. He walked to the washroom holding his head and gulped two Aspirin from the first-aid box. After having a shower and getting ready in his stiff and pricey three piece black suit, he knocked at Asher's bedroom where Aliza stayed the night. "Aliza does not act childish. I know you are awake. Open the door and let us solve this problem together." Charles insisted but as expected there was no response. Thinking that he did not have spare keys to open her door was like Aliza being ridiculous. But Charles did not want to do that to his fiancee. He wasn't a man to impose his feelings on her and wanted to give her the space that she required.Letting out a huge sigh, Charles went to the kitchen and quickly made a breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast for his little family and placed it on the table. He walked to the key holder and picked the keys of one of his favorite cars from the b

She scratches my upper arm as I was preparing her favorite meal buffalo chicken wings. "What do you want Sweet cakes?" I ask her without turning back but there was no answer. My hands go stationary and exhale a sigh turning reverse. Her eyes meet mine and gradually scroll down to my lips.I chuckle at her pretty antics. Edith's style is always different. She gets me head over heels by her unique and cute way of asking things. "You want a kiss? Why? It is not even two hours since we made love?"

    Chapter 29AllesandroThree months laterIt was Sunday and Charla is on leave. I was making spaghetti for me and Edith when I hear my telephone ring in the living hall. God, let this not be a call from the hospital. Today I not only have to feed but also cook for my little wife. I cannot afford to make Edith cook in the house. Last time she attempted to do the feat, the house was almost on fire. I had to use my influence and several of my important contacts to send the fire department workers away from my house without making an issue.I reach the front hall and look at my phone to see Charles name blaring on the screen. I breathe out a sigh of relief and press the answer button. On the other end of the line I hear the cheerful voice of my brother-in-law. "Hey man how are you and how is life with my little sister?" I run my hand on my neatly gelled hair suddenly going drained. "Do not ask me that." He chuckles loud as I cut the last carrot to put it in the already steaming pan for ma

Her tone was in a warning. I push away her silky black soft curls behind her ears and bring my face closer, my lips just inches away from hers. "I haven't yet started misbehaving Mrs Edith Penelope Martin because if I do you wouldn't stand here in one piece." I point to her with my eyes running down her delicate frame top to toe in salaciousness.Holding her face to meet my eyes I tell her firm. "You have no idea what you did to me by running away that day from the house in the pretext of your friend's birthday party. I take apologies but never apologized to anyone in the world and on that day I had to do it because of you to your family." I clutch her arm tight growling low in her ears. "Yeah and I'm too egoistic to accept but let me inform you in advance I do not take such things light."My phone star

I introduced Adrian to Edith with pride at the same time try to institute a talk to clear the fog of fight between us." Edith ignores me fully and extends her hand towards my younger brother. "Glad to meet you Adrian."Edith's hostility was killing me. I could endure her anger, cherish her love, suffer her pain but I cannot stand her repugnance for me.

After the fight I didn't see Sandro in the house or receive a call from him but the next day when I boarded the flight I had around ten bodyguards to accompany me to the airport. The chief security was having an ear piece tucked the complete time giving Sandro the information on every step I make towards getting to the flight.My marriage preparation was going on at a full swing in the house. In a way I was happy for earning the slap from Sandro. All my stupid fantasies about him washed away like dirt. My mind is now clear like a clean sheet of paper. In a way I need to thank him. Had I lost my virginity to a man other than my husband after all these years of staying celibate I could have never excused myself.Sandro is a dominating personified beast who cannot treat woman with respect.

I have three surgeries today. Poor souls, their lives now depend on your mercy." I hear Sandro's requesting voice."I do not want to go. I want to sleep. Make a selection of your own."

I had already completed my preparations and so there wasn't a need to worry.I call Sandro and tell him the excited news of my stay with him for the tests but I was skeptical if my dad would agree for me to stay in his house since my marriage is already fixed. "Tell your dad about your examinations and I'm sure he wouldn't deny your stay with me." He speaks sanguine giving me the tranquility I desired most for the moment. I get down the stairs, show dad the notification that I got in my mail box and did a double take when he offered me on his own to stay in Sandro's house.
