Nicole’s POV“Aren’t you enjoying this so much?” I teased him after a lust-filled moan that escaped my lips when I felt his twitching girth inside of my hungry pussy. “Even if you want to deny, I guess your buddy down there would defensively beg to disagree…. Ah…. mmmm…” Instead of saying anything, Mike seemed to express his responses through pressing my back to the wall and pouncing on my core. My moans became more out of control and Mike captured my lips in a heated kiss to silence me, or at least that was what I thought were the reasons for his actions. Maybe he was cautious and anxious to think that someone might see us in the hallway and without him admitting it, he was becoming more excited, creating an effervescent side of him. I wonder if my guess was right, so I tried to test my theory. “Mike, someone is watching us,” I whispered.“Huh?!” Just as I thought, Mike stiffened more. And his hands holding my butt cheeks gripped me even tighter. I squirmed at the sensation of hi
Mike’s POV“Mike!?” “Hey, man! What are you doing here?” I asked Justin when I saw him at the lobby of the building where the school swimming was located.“Wow! I have been calling your name for the past five minutes, but you seemed so damned preoccupied! What’s up?” Justin asked with mixed annoyance and worry on his face. “Huh?! Really?” I asked, surprised. Have I been walking around in daze again? A few people had mentioned I have been acting weird ever since I returned from that weekend I spent with Nicky in the house by the lake. “Yeah, Mike! Your brother called me to talk to you. If you find it so hard to tell him you can tell me what is bothering you,” Justin replied. Justin walked side by side with me and hung one of his arms around my shoulders as we walked out of the building. I was supposed to be assisting with the lessons today after school, but my supervisor dismissed me and sent me home instead. My brother has been busy training the competing athletes for this year’
Justin’s POVI received a call, yes, but not from Mike’s big bro like I told Mike when he asked why I suddenly appeared in his department. “If you have time and you are interested, I have a business deal to offer you. I will tell you the details in person. All you have to say now is yes, or, no. If you say yes, someone will pick you up within ten minutes, if you say no, you can forget we ever made this conversation. What do you say?”I was still trying to process every word she was saying, but Nicole seemed to be in great hurry and did not give me enough time to think other than to choose whether i would say yes or no. To top it all off, her tone was not very warm at all. Not that she speaks to me with kindness on a regular basis, but this time her tone was even more icy-cold and bone-chilling.However, considering Nicole Parker’s identity, I did not want to stand on a spot she does not practice nor show, even in the slightest, mercy, leniency, or benevolence! If she called me, I bel
Nicole’s POVAfter Mike said that he thinks he loves me. I lost the strength to hold back my tears from streaming down my cheeks. But I could not respond to his words. I did not want to change my mind and take my words back when I told Mike I was going abroad. But his words left a deep impact in my cold and foolish heart. I was worried my sudden disappearance would affect him badly enough to lose focus in his studies. So, I tried to think of ways on how I can protect him in my own and discreet way. I could help him find a better source of income while he was taking his studies in so many ways but I did not want to rub on him the power of money that my family possesses. I am quite sure that without a doubt, once Mike realizes such a move, he would despise my family more than he already does. I was just not ready for that! And I think even if time passes by, I wouldn’t get to prepare my heart to see and find out Mike hates me and my family, despite everything I am doing now is an abs
Fhadz’s POV I went upstairs, observing discretion and cautiousness. I did not get to reach the top end of the stairs when I caught sight of them. They were in the hallway. They were wearing bathrobes, I could not see any part of their bodies aside from their feet, legs, arms, and heads. But with how their bodies were shaking, the guy pounding his hips while the girl had her back to the wall, it was obvious to say that they were at it. I felt scared for my dear life! I just hope my little boss did not see me or she might think I was peeking on them. And if she misunderstood my actions, I have no doubt she wouldn’t ask for clarifications, she would freely think what she believed I was doing in there. “Is this what the butler meant when he said the young Lady wanted us to observe distance and give the boss and her guest some privacy?” I asked with my heart wildly pumping. I quickly but soundlessly moved away from that spot. And ever since then, I made sure the rest of our men were
Mike’s POVI felt so lost after that wild and unforgettable weekend I shared with Nicky for the last time. I knew she would have been so far and practically, literally, or virtually, and whatever just about word that would fit to describe the distance between us just to say she wasn’t within my reach. Near or far.But I couldn’t help feeling so lost and down. I accept everything. I was glad and grateful I got to create friendship and good, if not best, memories with her, and she wasn’t someone I could expect to stick around. She obviously was someone who just happened to swing by in my life, but I think the taste of that joy made me want to greed for more. “Cheer up, man!” Justin handed me a bottle of beer. I mindlessly stared at the fridge where he got that bottle. I noticed it was full of drinks, like this man was expecting someone to come over to his place and have a drinking party with him. I wanted to ask if he was indeed waiting for someone. I was going to leave soon, if that
Justin’s POV I have been trying to understand how Mike was taking everything in. I may not know much about his feelings, but when Nicole said she was cutting ties with Mike because her mom did not like Mike, I had an idea about what was happening. However, despite claiming to have an idea, I could not be bold and ask Mike about anything. Well, considering he said he wasn’t ready to say anything, I just took it as a wound that would eventually heal through time. I also noticed Mike didn’t seem to have anything aside from sadness. “Maybe he did not know about the mother’s dislike of him?” I thought inwardly. I felt sad for Mike as I placed a pillow under his head on the compact couch where he had been sitting the entire time ever since we arrived at my place. He only had four bottles of beer, but he was already dead drunk and had fallen asleep with his head leaning on the backrest of the couch. “But knowing him, even if he knew anything about Mrs. Parker’s thoughts about him, Mi
Time went by…Mike continued his studies. Justin did not leave his side the entire time they were in University. Nicole and Justin’s deal did not push through when Nicole got into an accident but when Justin sent the information that proved Charlie Green’s involvement in the accident, Justin did not reveal himself, but the Parker couple did not let the chance to reward the person who helped them bring the criminal to justice just slip away. As a result, Justin was given a huge sum of money through a cheque that was sent to his mailbox. It took Justin a while to decide if he would turn the cheque into cash because he was waiting for Nicole’s next move regarding their agreement. But when nothing came after two months of waiting, Justin assumed Nicole was not in a condition to keep her end of their deal. Considering she had an accident and according to the information that Justin had gathered, Nicole was still in recovery, including her memory. Mike did not know what happened to Nicole
“Really?” Jude Parker said. “I didn’t hear the sound of it.” “When did the two of you leave the room?” Nicole asked worriedly. “When Chris said she needed to pee,” Mac answered innocently. “I see,” Nicole answered. “Did you ask for help from the nannies?” the mother asked gently. “Mac helped me. Right, Mac?” the little girl widened her eyes to her bother as if telling him to just agree. “Ah, yeah. Right!” Mac answered after nodding with his eyes closed to Chris as if affirming Chris’ words to be true. But their actions made the people around them doubt that whatever they were saying was the entire truth and nothing but the truth! “I have to welcome my guest,” Jude said. Then he turned to Lisa and the twins. “Do you mind if you guys come with me?” “Let’s go!” The twins answered excitedly. “The two of you should take your time. Mike, she cannot walk with speed yet like we normally do. Can I entrust her to your care or shall I do it myself?” Jude asked seriously. “Please,
“First things first,” Jude said. He fished his phone out of his pocket and right in front of everyone at the table, he dialed a number and spoke like he was alone in the room. “My friend, am I not going to beat around the bush.” Jude’s words obviously expressed closeness to the person he was talking to. Not just by the tone and informality of his words, but by the loud cackle he made after saying them with a radiant smile sporting his face. But with only himself hearing the response of the person he was speaking to over the phone, only Jude’s voice could be heard by everyone with him in the room. “I am in darn need of your help, right now. And that means to say I need your presence right here in my place. I will send you the address—”Jude took a halt as if the other person said something to make him pause from his words. But the older man just laughed even louder than earlier he did. “I know, I know. Of course. Yeah. Yeah—” He halted again for a moment but reasoned with a boistero
Third Person's POVThe family of four, Mike, Nicole, Mac, and Chris, along with the older couple Lisa and Jude Parker had a wonderful meal. But of course, it didn’t end there. The whole day they had a blast. From the dining room where they had the most enjoyable brunch meal one could ever ask to experience, being with their beloved ones, the whole family moved to the air-conditioned gazebo in the backyard to enjoy their dessert. Aside from Chris, who chose to eat the cake first before eating the meal as her request, although it had been her habit to eat their servings before eating something else which made her take just a bite of the cake and eat her meal like everyone else at the table, everyone had the taste of the cake at the fancy resting room in the gazebo after their brunch. then they moved to the family recreation room or more of the kids’ play gallery to watch the twins play. “I am glad you all liked it,” Mike stated timidly. “This bakery is not unfamiliar to us, actually,
Mike’s POV“Oh, that cake….” I mindlessly murmured when we arrived at the dining table and saw the design of the cake that I bought for Mac. The very same reason I had to run back home because I realized halfway down the stairs of my apartment building that I was not carrying anything in my hand aside from my phone. “I believe this is from you,” Mister Parker said as I timidly stood after I assisted Nicky to sit properly and comfortably on her chair. “But Fhadz brought it in when Mac realized you guys left the cake in the car,” he continued. I nodded as I smiled shyly. I had guessed Mac was from a well-off family. That was one of the reasons why I was hesitant to grant his request when he said he was inviting me to his birthday party. The same reason why I was cautious and conscious of what gift to bring him so I wouldn’t be attending his birthday party with empty hands. “I am not sure what to buy and bring for Mac to his birthday party and I have not been to any children’s party
Nicole’s POV“Dad, you might have to carry Mom to the dining hall,” my bubbly daughter said to Mike.“Huh?” Mike grunted.He seemed flustered for a moment. But before Chris could say anything to acknowledge Mike’s very brief expression, Mac explained to Mike for Chris as if they were telepathic about what Chris was going to say to elaborate on her words.It amazed me how my toddlers could communicate in such a mystical way, even in other instances where they seemed to have the same idea and thoughts. I guess I will never know such things on my own because I never had and never will I ever get the chance to have a twin sibling in this lifetime.“Mom has been in a wheelchair for years, but she started taking treatment and therapy a few months ago. I think she is a bit shocked to have you around today. Her legs must have frozen again. She can’t walk,” Mac spoke indifferently.“What do you mean?” Mike asked, frowning. More than any other emotions, I saw pain and regret in his eyes as he
Mike’s POV“I am glad you didn’t know. See, you are graduating from your chosen course. While I am still taking my degree,” Nicole laughed softly, comforting me. My chest hurt like crazy, but the fact– although it was unbelievable, that Nicky was comforting me appeased me as well. Her simple words, the mere sound of her voice, the mere scent radiating from her body–even from her breath, they all soothed me like magic. Yet, again, I could not keep the sound of my muffled cries from being heard. But Nicky continued. “I had to take a longer break than usual maternity cases due to the accident.”The last word she mentioned pierced my heart fiercely again. I blame myself so badly for shutting myself out from anything that had to do with Nicky. I begged Justin not to mention her name or anything about her. Now, even if Justin knew about what happened back then, I can’t blame him for not telling me. This thought made me groan in pain even more.“Don’t despair so much. We got who the crim
Nicole’s POVI struggled to collect my composure. I was drowning in different emotions. I have always feared to meet Mike after parting ways with him saying I was going to study abroad when all the while, I wasn’t planning on leaving the city, let alone the country. And when I got into an accident, my condition made that decision even firmer. Well, I could have had chosen to get treatment from somewhere with better medical facilities and assistance to ensure everything would be next to perfect, but I did not want to be farther than how I already was from Mike, so I preferred to stay and asked my parents to hire the best in the field of medicine to take care of me personally at the comfort of my home when I was able to be sent home for further recuperation. But now that Mike was right in front of me, there was only one emotion that felt so immense and potent to care about anything else. My heartbeat was pounding my chest so wildly, I had lost control on what words slipped out of my l
Mike’s POV“Dad!!!!”“I missed you!”These words scared me like hell. But who could blame me? I was standing in the yard of a fancy house without a doubt that this property belongs to someone rich. But to call me “Dad” by a girl, a cute, sweet, and adorably lovely little girl, I was afraid the real dad would show up in front of me and give me a punch right on my face. Okay, maybe that would be too much, to be violent. But I don’t think I will like even the thought of my child calling someone else “Dad” instead of me. “Let’s get inside,” said Mac, after introducing the girl as his twin sister. With the little girl named Chris in my arms, I walked along with Mac when he started heading to the front door of the house. Everything in the surroundings was unfamiliar to me. I don’t think I have even been here in this house before. The interior of the house patently showed luxury and kids friendly, including the wallpapers, the guarded corners of the sharp-edged furniture around it, as we
Nicole’s POV“Let’s get inside.”From inside the house, I heard Mac said after my daughter bolted to meet her dad. I couldn’t move. “Sweetie, are you alright?” My dad asked gently. I nodded. “You don’t look like you’re alright to me, though,” my dad whispered. “You’re so pale, dear. Would you like to go on with the plan or join the kids when you’re ready?” My mom was obviously worried for me. I’m not so sure I was ready. When Mac said he was going to pick up Mike, I was hesitant, yes, but I could tell I was just half-hearted. However, when I heard the sound of the vehicle approaching our yard and stopped there, my heart started pounding. Now, my legs, which had been back and almost perfectly normal, wouldn’t even budge. Not just that, because my stupid legs were shaking out of control! I couldn’t even get up from where I was sitting while waiting for my son to return home.“Wait, Mac, are you sure I will survive if I step inside your house?” Mike asked Mac with the sound of playf
