Riley woke up with a dizzy head. Her vision became blurry. She got out of bed slowly and then ran to the bathroom when she felt something churning in her stomach. Riley felt nauseous. Soon, she vomited everything in her stomach into the toilet.All that came out was clear water with a few white lumps from last night's meal. Her mouth tasted bitter. Riley washed her face and looked in the mirror. "Something seems to be wrong with me."Riley's face was deathly pale. Her eyes looked droopy, not excited. Her body felt different. Limp and tired. This was strange because Riley's body was usually always refreshed when she woke up in the morning. Her mind was fixated on something.Riley tried to remember the last time she had her period because this nausea and vomiting suddenly came on a few days ago. Her eyes widened. Riley returned to the room, looking for something in the bedside drawer.Riley was silent for a moment. "Is this just my gut feeling or pre-menstrual symptoms?"Riley dismissed
Riley massaged her forehead, which felt very dizzy. "Sorry, Grandpa. Apparently, I'm not feeling well."Adrian nodded his head. He had expected it. "Yes, you should rest inside."Riley nodded and got up slowly from the garden chair. "Sorry, I can't accompany you on your walk like usual.""No problem." Adrian raised his hand, waving at the aide not far away. "Escort Riley into the house.""Yes, sir." The aide stepped aside as Riley made his first step forward.Adrian watched Riley's back getting farther and farther away from his sight. He was worried about the young woman's health because she had to be separated from Lucius for an unknown amount of time, depending on Lucius' performance in managing the company.Riley walked into the room. Her body felt weak, and taking a step was hard. Her steps were unsteady, dragging with no strength.Riley sat up, curled up on the edge of the bed. "I missed you, Lucius. What are you doing? It's been a month since we've seen each other. In my belly,
Adrian came with two maids carrying a tray of three dishes that Riley might like.Riley nodded his head respectfully. "I'm fine, Grandpa.""Eat up. You haven't eaten since this afternoon. Remember, it is not only Lucius who must fight. But you also have to endure to strengthen him." Adrian tried to encourage Riley, even though he was sure he would be unable to calm the young woman's heart.Riley just kept her head down. Adrian ordered the two servants to place the food tray on the long table beside the door to Riley's room."Grandpa doesn't know what food you like, so you can at least eat out of these three." Adrian pointed at the tray. Two different rice plates from two eastern countries. And a bowl of meat soup."Thank you, Grandpa." Riley was happy to have the attention of her boyfriend's grandfather.Adrian smiled, then walked away with the two servants. Riley watched Adrian retreat back. Thankfully, there was Adrian in this house.At first, Riley was afraid to live in this luxuri
It was still clearly recorded in Riley's memory. Last night, Lucius' face looked serious. That explains how Lucius struggled to prove how he deserved to be the leader of the Carson family.Riley stuffed pieces of bread into her mouth while smiling incessantly. "I'm glad to see his face."Adrian chuckled. "Yes, of course. You guys haven't seen each other for a month and haven't communicated. I can understand that."Adrian had finished eating. He wiped his mouth with a paper towel after finishing his drink. "You just take it easy. The sooner she works, the sooner you'll meet."Riley's eyes lit up. That meant it would be soon that they met again. Riley couldn't wait for that moment to come.On the other hand, Lucius is reading a proposal for a cooperation contract from a company that was previously a competitor for a foreign company's project tender.This business strategy needs to be clarified. If Lucius accepts the offer to cooperate with a competing company, there may be two possibili
There was no smile on Lucius' face, making Mario understand that his best friend was not in a good mood. Lucius uncapped the bottle and poured himself into a small glass. It was all gone in one gulp. It was repeated several times until he finished the whole bottle.Mario tapped Lucius lightly on the shoulder. "Did something happen?"Lucius quickly nodded his head. He shared all the burdens that were on his mind, including the work related to Riley.Before he knew it, Lucius had finished two bottles. Mario asked the bartender to bring back a case of bottles for Lucius.Lucius was already a little drunk. His eyes were dull. His face was also slightly flushed. "I miss my beloved so much. Damn it. I don't know when we'll meet."Mario laughed at Lucius' words like a child missing his mother. "What a disgrace. You're like a chick who lost its mother.""Damn it!" Lucius hit Mario once. Quite hard despite being in a semi-conscious state.Mario has a calm nature. He wasn't angry about being hi
Day by day, the company's progress is getting better. Lucius did all his work without missing a beat. Even Abriel became busy as he helped to take care of all the files that came in and were submitted to Lucius. He always took care of Lucius' schedule, and just like Lucius, he could barely sleep."Mr Lucius, you still have a meeting with a client at two in the afternoon." Abriel gave Lucius a file of materials to study later in the meeting.Lucius accepted the file and skimmed through a few pages. "After the meeting, is there anything else scheduled?"Abriel nodded his head. He looked at the notes in the small book he was carrying. "You should meet the manager of the other company to discuss the design of the next project. Joint contribution, sir."Lucius nodded his head. Today was so busy, but he was used to it. It just made him feel tired.Looking forward to meeting Riley."Here are some follow-up files that need to be signed, Mr Lucius." Abriel handed several folders of files into
Lucius clenched his hands at his sides. He felt jealous of Wilson and Riley's closeness. His feet stepped quickly towards them.Riley, who was discussing pregnancy, seemed happy to hear that her symptoms were common to pregnant women.Riley's eyes widened perfectly when she suddenly saw Lucius before her. A smile instantly spread across her face. "Lucius!"Riley rushed into Lucius' arms. She was so happy to be reunited with Lucius that she had tears running down her cheeks. "I missed you."Lucius was silent. He looked at Wilson with a sharp gaze. While Wilson smiled happily that the two lovebirds could meet again.Wilson extended his hand to Lucius. He had also heard about Lucius' success on television and from Adrian himself. "Congratulations on your success. I heard that it was a very difficult business invasion to succeed."Lucius' jaw hardened. His chest felt hot, like there were hot coals inside. His anger rose to the top of his head. "What are you doing here all night with my wo
Lucius felt guilty for falsely accusing Riley and Wilson. It turned out that what Wilson meant to do was to check on Riley's condition.Lucius lowered his head, watching Riley's face, who was still sleeping peacefully. Not long after, Riley's forehead frowned, and her eyes slowly opened.Lucius again squatted beside Riley's bed, grasping her hand tightly. "I'm sorry for accusing you of all sorts of things."Lucius kissed the back of Riley's hand warmly with affection. Riley smiled, stroking the top of Lucius' head.Lucius stroked Riley's stomach emotionally. His eyes filled with tears again. "I'm going to be a father." Riley responded with a nod of her head."Therefore, you should be more responsible as the family leader." Adrian reminded Lucius of the responsibility he should hold.Lucius nodded his head weakly. His grandfather's words were true. If he could not be the head of the Carson family, he would not be able to lead his own family.Lucius became even more motivated to become
Riley, Lucius, and Lurren prepared neatly. All the servants were busy preparing the dinner menu to welcome Adrian's arrival. The food provided used only a few spices because Adrian could not eat too many spicy foods.Lucius reached into his pants pocket, dialing Wilson's phone number to also come to his house. The common thing that Lucius did when Adrian came to visit was to check on his grandfather's health. Even though his grandfather was in good condition, Lucius still paid attention and checked every so often.Wilson, who had now become Lucius' personal physician, immediately left for the Carson family home. It didn't take long; Wilson arrived at the Carson residence in just fifteen minutes.Lucius warmly welcomed Wilson with a hug. Lurren, who knew Wilson's arrival, immediately ran over, teasing Wilson by taking the medical tools in Wilson's pocket."Oh, my God." Wilson shook his head. It was not a new thing that Lurren had done to Wilson. There had been many times when Wilson ha
Riley was running with her breath taken away. Her sweat was pouring down her body. She stopped several times just to wipe off the sweat. She continued to run while waving her hands, calling out to someone she was chasing.A little boy laughed out loud as he looked at Riley. It turned out that Riley was running after his four-year-old son. The boy's name was Lauren. He was mischievous, exploratory, and good at hiding.Riley found him a few minutes ago, but the boy ran at full speed. Riley bent her body while scrambling her waist. "Oh my, Lurren. Come here!"One of the maids also ran behind Riley with a rice bowl filled with vegetable soup with chicken. Riley tapped her forehead so hard that it made a loud sound. "Lurren, eat first!"The maid was so tired that he could no longer run. Riley took the bowl in the maid's hand and continued running after Lurren, who was now getting farther away from her sight. Riley was also tired of chasing after him, but she wasn't satisfied if she hadn't
Lucius hung up the phone after the doctor on the other side said he would be there soon. He quickly put his cell phone on the nightstand, then hurried to change the wet clothes still attached to Riley's body.Deftly, Lucius' hands stripped Riley of her clothes one by one. He took a change of clothes from the closet. Not a dress, but an evening gown because there were no more clothes that Riley could wear. All the clothes they had brought were, of course, honeymoon clothes. Lucius didn't know that it would turn out like this, so he didn't prepare a change of clothes other than the white dress that Riley had bought at the shopping center.Unfortunately, they only bought one dress, while the rest were evening dresses that Riley wanted to wear to spend the last night of the month for them at this resort. Lucius didn't care and quickly changed Riley's clothes; the important thing was that the clothes were not too revealing so that the doctor could examine her, and Riley wouldn't get sicker
Madam Lyla and her husband waved at Riley and Lucius, who had come out of their yard. Lucius and Riley were deliberately walking to enjoy the beauty of the beach. Riley also wanted to always hug and hold hands with Lucius.Riley and Lucius enjoyed their walk in the afternoon while looking at the reddish-orange sky. They hugged each other until the rain poured down on the earth without permission."Ah, no. You can't get caught in the rain." Lucius raised his hands above Riley's head, shielding her from the rain.They walked into a restaurant on the side of the road. Riley's dress was white, making it see-through and exposing some small body parts.Lucius, who realized that immediately hugged Riley's body, causing everyone in the restaurant to stare at them. Riley blushed with embarrassment. "Lucius, everyone is looking at us."Lucius tightened his embrace and covered Riley's exposed body under his clothes. "Don't bother. You must be cold too. I don't want you to feel cold."Riley was f
Riley and Lucius spent their honeymoon happily. They were initially going on honeymoon for only four days, but they spent two weeks because Lucius didn't want to be disturbed by anyone.All the work problems had been solved by Abriel on Lucius' orders. Luckily, the work problems were solved easily because there was no significant work, so Abriel could handle it himself without disturbing Lucius, who was on his honeymoon.The next day, it was time for them to go home because it was the last day of their honeymoon. Lucius took Riley for a short walk to the shopping center to buy clothes. Riley seemed happy to hear it, especially since the shopping center in that area was famous for its excellent quality of clothes.Lucius and Riley walked into a clothing store. Riley was interested in one of the dresses displayed in front of the shop window. The dress was a unique design made by a famous designer in the area, not because of the design either, but because the dress was made of a very com
Lucius drove the vehicle at a moderate speed. The wind was blowing gently on Riley and Lucius' faces. Riley seemed to enjoy their journey and didn't know where Lucius would take her.Riley looked out the window, which was full of tall trees. He had never been to that area before. "Where are we going?"Lucius was silent. He didn't want to tell Riley where they were going because this particular gift was a honeymoon to the beach not far from the Carson family home. It wasn't that he didn't want to take her on a honeymoon to another city, but he was worried about Riley and the child in her womb.More or less, Lucius knew that Riley should be energized, especially when traveling long distances by air or land like this. Hence, Lucius would only take Riley on a honeymoon nearby. Moreover, they had just had a wedding yesterday and a wild and extraordinary long night battle. Of course, it would be very tiring for Riley if they traveled far away.Riley pursed her lips forward. "So, you don't w
As the night wore on, Lucius and Riley's play became hotter and more passionate. Both of them had passed the peak for the third time, but as if they were never satisfied, the game continued wildly. Lucius seemed to forget that his partner was pregnant, and Riley seemed to forget that a baby was in her stomach.Riley was no less wild. She showed another side that Lucius had never seen before. Riley was good at keeping up with Lucius's game, even to the point of looking tireless for a pregnant woman.Riley played on top of Lucius. Her hands rested backward on Lucius' knees to support her body. While her hips moved back and forth, along with the pounding. Occasionally Riley seemed to close her eyes, enjoying the sting in her intimate area down there.Lucius enjoyed Riley's play, but he was impatient and got up. Both stomped and moved, giving each other a rhythm that stung their intimate organs. Both moaned and sighed loudly, along with the flow of desire inside.Unexpectedly, the bed the
As the night wore on, the wedding dance party finally ended. One by one, the invited guests began to leave. The time on the wall clock, deliberately placed in the middle of the garden to make it look like a fairy tale, was already half past eleven at night.Riley had already entered the room. While Lucius still had to escort his business client home to the front yard with small talk. Lucius followed Riley into the room until all the essential guests had left.Riley had removed all the makeup on her face using a makeup remover. The hairdo had also been removed. Riley just came out of the bathroom wearing a white kimono towel. Her body felt refreshed after cleansing herself with warm water and therapeutic scented soap to calm and relax her body.Riley sat in front of the dressing table mirror. She poured the night serum into her palm and rubbed it on her face. Cold, refreshing feeling in the pores of her cheek skin. She was already feeling tired after a long day of wedding festivities,
Norman and Grace, Eva's parents, also attended the ball. They hadn't missed a detail of the wedding since the afternoon. Of course, they were surprised because it differed from the party earlier in the day. Norman looked amazed for a while at how luxurious Riley and Lucius' wedding was.One of the servants came over to them with a tray containing several red beverage glasses. The glasses looked luxurious, with beautiful carvings on each side. Of course, it was costly for a set of glasses. Norman knew that because the small glasses were luxury items displayed in several large stores.Norman picked up one of the glasses and looked at the details to ensure it was indeed the glass he had seen that day. He approached his wife, bowing slightly. "Eva's going to have a fancy wedding like this."Grace only responded with a nod of her head. Norman pursed his lips, arrogantly thinking he could afford to make Eva's wedding even more lavish than this. Who wouldn't be jealous of a wedding like this
