"Are you behind Anna Pierce?" Cole's question left Christopher feeling anxious. His thoughts easily ran wild, concluding they had a clue.
'But how?' He wondered. Nonetheless, he was certain he left no paper trail behind. The money he used to pay Anna for her act was wired directly to her account.
The only time they were seen together in public was in at the Hale Industries, earlier that day. Nevertheless, it wasn't enough to prove he was working with Anna.
"What - what are you talking about?!" Christopher objected while frowning altogether.
"Do you have anything to do with Anna claiming that I have a child with her?!" Cole repeated himself. "Do you want me and Joan to break up so badly, you'd be willing to stoop down so slow as to creating a scandal against me?!"
Christopher wound up into another laugh. He said, "Even if it was me, Cole, you would not be able to link me to Anna! So what does it matter? For today, it's just A
"Who started it?" Joan asked as she put an ice pack on Cole's swollen cheek. Aside from his godly face that she adored, even the perfect body that she loved to ogle on was also bruised.Joan wasn't pleased at all. She repeated, "Did Chris punch first?"He cleared his throat and revealed, "No. I did. I punched him first."Her mouth fell open, and she smacked him in the leg, "Why did you do that?"A gasp escaped his lips, and he told, "Chris, he - he said something I did not like.""He was drunk. He reeked of alcohol. Cole, for God's sake, you should have just left," said Joan as she returned to dub against his face."You - you don't understand. What he said was below the belt," declared Cole. "But I'm not going to tell you.""If you are not telling me, then it only means it was about me," said Joan. From angry, her face turned into worry. She said, "What if you got badly hurt?""I covered myself the best way I can,"
The next day, clips of Cole and Joan's encounter with Anna Pierce at a private club were featured on ANN Afternoon with Carie.Finally, the public was made aware of how Cole and Joan had been trying to settle the issue with the Channel 5 anchor, Anna.Carie made sure to air all the couple's sentiments and wishes for Anna in order for them to come into an agreement. Carie wanted nothing more for Cole to clear his name.Following the afternoon show, assumptions were made based on Anna's reluctant approval of having a paternity test. The views of the fans easily shifted in favor of Cole and Joan.Many expressed their praises for Cole, having assured Anna that he would take responsibility for the child, following a DNA test. They also approved of how Cole did not deny his previous relationship with Anna.Aside from that, compliments were thrown at Joan Belle's support for Cole. They gave remarks of how she may very well be
Carie's talk show granted a celebration between Cole and Joan. Even if Cole's body was sore, his brother down there was in good health!Since both of them were confined at the penthouse, they made use of their time wisely.From Cole's dining room, Cole insisted to have his dessert right on the table. He suggested for Joan to lie on top.Completely naked, Joan had her legs stretched, her bottom lips fully visible for Cole to gawk on.Cole was moving his hips back and forth, watching as his length go inside of Joan. His eyes glistened, lusting at the clear sight of him penetrating her pink hole.He was also equally bare. His chiseled torso was all for Joan to visually feed on."Fuck, Joan, babe. Can you see it?" He asked before hissing. "See me enter you?"He was aroused beyond words, marveling at how her groin area would take the shape of his tip in each of his every push. Cole was purposely pushing upward
Wet dream number one was of course to make love with Joan. His second was for Joan to give him a blow. Both had long been achieved. Thus, only a repeat was necessary.Wet dream number three was for Joan to give him a tit job and he would wind up bursting in her face.Cole determined he will have his other wet dreams for future exploration. For now, he was fine with just achieving one. He said, "Babe, we will do the rest when I am in full health."With a sly face, he added, "When I will pounce on you mercilessly."Joan scoffed and said, "Since when did you ever give me mercy?" Her eyes easily turned dreamy before adding, "Not that... I am complaining."Her words were like music to his ears. He loved the fact that he had this effect on Joan. With Joan by his side, it was certainly a dream come true. No longer will he have wet dreams of her. Everything was now a reality.It was in the evening, following an afternoon rest that
Two days passed.Joan rushed to her office, learning from her assistant about a problem with the production of the recent designs for winter clothes.The bruise on her face had lightened and with a touch of make-up, she looked good as new. Cole's bruises, however, were still obvious that Monica still did not allow him to show himself to the public.Cole merely drove her to the mall and returned to the Penthouse right after. He meant to pick her up when her day at work was over.Her day was filled with phone calls after phone calls until she got a positive commitment from her production team. It was already after lunch that she resolved the crisis at JB Vogue.The growling of her stomach suddenly reminded her how she only had coffee and toasts for the entire day."Gina, let's have lunch together," Joan called while grabbing her purse, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw how Christopher Hale was waiting by the l
"Chris, I love Cole now and I don't think my feelings for him will fade that easily. I am happy with him. Can - can you ever find it in your heart to accept that and be happy for us?" This was Joan's response to his probing.Of course, Christopher already knew this would be Joan's answer, but still, hearing it come out from her mouth was a huge blow to his pride.He sighed heavily and leaned back in his chair. He turned to the other side of the restaurant, thinking of how he had this same woman's affection once.'This was the same woman who brought him my favorite cake during my birthdays,' he said to himself in silence. 'The same woman who was always present during my events and the same woman who looked up to me with glittering eyes.''Yes, she was now gone, and I led her to it,' he reminded himself while shifting his gaze to Joan's delicate face. Only regret filled his heart."Thank you, Joan, for meeting me today," said Christ
A week passed.Anna Pierce went through with the paternity test and that day was the big reveal. She invited the press at the Saint Patrick's Medical Center.She and Cole gave their DNAs two days back, and the results were in. She wanted the entire country to know who is the father of her child, and no one does it better than the press.From outside the laboratory of the medical center, everyone lingered, waiting for the result.On one side was Anna and per party, including her father. On another corner were Joan and Cole, together with Monica.The media representatives randomly took their stand in any free spaces outside the laboratory, taking videos of the both groups, anticipating the results.In Cole's party, Monica was mumbling at the sight of the confident Anna Pierce. She softly said, "Just look at that confidence grin. How I wish I could wipe away that smirk off her face."Cole, on the other
Anna Pierce felt her throat dried. She could not count how many times she swallowed her own spew just to get her words across. She declared, "That is a lie! How - how could a respected and married politician be the father of my child?""First of all, everyone knew I am four months pregnant. It was within that time when Cole and I were together!" Anna added."That is the truth! Anna Pierce had an affair with my husband." The interruption came from an elegant woman in her late twenties. She had long, dark brown hair and wore expensive clothes. The same woman suddenly came into the picture, holding documents in her hands.Everyone was stunned to see Olivia Stern, the young wife of the man whose name appeared on the paternity test.The media easily shifted their cameras to Olivia, and they all heard her say, "For months, I have been trying to prove that my husband is the father of Anna's baby. Now, I have verification."Olivia handed
