Aspen places his hand on my back, and with a poker face, he didn't answer any question of the media.

ASPEN'S POVI look at Sophia, who is fallen by my feet and is crying hysterically asking me why? Can I tell her that I was a big fool to marry her?

Can I tell her that I know who she is?I know all she blames are right; I am the jerk who has ruined her dreams and her life. Looking at her hurts me so much. If only I trusted her when she told me about Mr Grave, but I trusted him blindly, and as a result, she is broken and crying. How can I tell her what effect that Mrs Irean has done to me? How, after seeing her everything has come back to my mind? How my hatred towards that lady come out on here instead?How can I tell her that 2 years ago what happened to me, how can I tell her that I become a very heartless monster because of her sister I

She looks so beautiful; I lightly caress her cheeks with the back of my hand.What have I done to deserve her?"You know winter, I never planned on getting married, but here I am married to you. Maybe it was my mistake, but it was the best decision in my life. My life is fucked up. My parents are fucked up. You know, I was alone, Grandma from the age of seven. My parents cheated on each other for years. They never loved us. They are the best example of why one shouldn't marry. I was always against marriage
WINTER'S POVSometimes it all feels like I'm living in a dream, sometimes a good dream, sometimes a nightmare.Aspen caring about me feels like a dream because in my dream he really does care for me and smiles at me. I fear that once I woke up, he will be back to being cold and hurting me all the time. I can't believe this is what my life has become.When I woke up from my nap, I find myself in Aspen's arm, carrying me while climbing down the steps of the jet. The cold environment touches my skin and makes me shiver. I cuddle closer to Aspen's chest to get warm and forget all about being angry with him.Aspen gives someone a few commands which I don't know what they are. I'm so lost in his manly fragrance, I feel the most protected in his arm, this is my own sweet cocoon.Aspen tenderly places me on the car seat; I groan with the sudden loss
The next morning I woke up at five in the morning and got dressed up for another day in the office. Like usual, I prepare breakfast for my winter and place a sticky note in the fridge for her.'Hope to come home earlier today. See you tonight. Don't forget to miss me.'Winter'S POVI move in my sleep, feeling a little disturbed by the sunlight coming through the window of my room. I duck my head into the pillow to avoid the sunlight.Last night I waited for Aspen, but he never came. I wanted to spend more time with him. I explored the whole house, and it's so big that it really took me a half-day to explore. Then I unpacked my clothes and finished my novel which I wanted to finish writing a long time ago, but due to the office works, I couldn't. I waited for Aspen to have dinner together, but he messaged me,'Important meeting will be home late. Have your dinner and don't
WINTER'S POV"I'm going on my first date!" I cried aloud after cutting Aspen's call. And he told me he is taking me out on a date. I jump in excitement; I danced like a maniac on my bed. I don't know where I got the foolishness from, but it was there. I'm feeling like a teen girl who just got noticed by their crush. This feeling is beyond words.After getting through my closet, I decided to wear a white sweater with dark jeans and black boots. I also take a jacket with me as it does get colder into the night. I apply mascara with some eyes lines and light pink lip gloss.I am really excited about my first date.I reach the living room and wait for Don to pick me up.

WINTER'S POV2"You know, you should not carry me like this in bridal style." I chided Aspen who has been carrying me like a baby. "You know with pregnancy I'm burning fat and gaining weight.""You will always be light for me, Love," Aspen moves out from his private jet. "I will always carry you like this even if you turn 500kg. I love to carry you and no protest in this." He gave me a sweet smile shutting me up.Aspen makes me sit in the car and comfortable on his lap. Aspen has finally brought me to spend our holidays.

I wake up in the morning due to someone's ticklish hands. I open my eyes to see a grinning bunny playing with my bangs."Wake up, Love." He says before giving me dozens of kisses on my cheeks, lips, forehead, nose, neck. He gave a series of kisses from my neck to breast. And it's giving me a tickling sensation. "What are you doing Aspen?" I ask with giggles. He started to bring his mouth from my breast to my lips but I stop him by placing my hand on my mouth."I didn't brush yet," I whine as I don't want him to smell my bad breath. "It's alright." He said before pulling my hand up from my mouth. But I do not let him. I look at the wall clock to find it's already 10:30 a.m."It's 10:30 already. Why didn't you wake me up? We have to reach the hospital." I look at the clock with wide eyes and jump from the bed quickly and run towards the bathroom. "Careful Love. You will get hurt." I hear Aspen's caring voice.I give him
Aspen and I leave the hospital."Aspen, you are pleased, right?" I ask him while buckling up my seat belt in the car. "I'm thrilled Love." He grins widely. "We are happy than shouldn't we celebrate our happiness?" I ask him with heart eyes. "Yes, we should celebrate it." He sounds slightly confused, looking at me."So can we go to Domino's and have a pizza celebration?" I ask him nervously, knowing his answer already. "So that's why you are so eager to celebrate." He shakes his head, disbelieving me. "No, we will not have pizza. It's not good for you and babies h

I try to console her, but she is crying continuously because of too much pain. "Aspen be fast. We have to reach the hospital as soon as possible." I said while wiping Sakshi's sweat from her forehead. "Winter, it's hurting a lot." Sakshi cries in pain and shuts her eyes tight to bear the pain."Bear the pain for now Sakshi. You know you will be getting a bundle of joy and happiness after this pain." I try my best to soothe her pain. "I never thought it would give pain like hell. Ahhh!" Sakshi cries loudly. "Why the fuck anyone didn't tell me before that it's like death before giving birth.""Calm down Sakshi. Your cry will make your pain
"You know Grandma, I'm not a real Warren. Once media will get to know our competitors will not take a second to finish Warren's Group. I don't want to Warren corporation because of me." He says in a heavy voice, it must be so difficult for him."Who said you are not a 'Warren' Aspen?" Grandma pats his back. "You always reach a solution so soon, and you think I will never know your pain." Grandma shakes her head, looking at Aspen."If only that day, you heard what I had to say. Your real mom's mother had come to us and pleaded to get help from us, as her husband would've killed he
WINTER'S POVI wake up from the light coming from the curtains. I open my eyes to come across the site of my breath-taking husband, who is sleeping carefree, pressing his head on the valley of my chest. I blush hard remembering our passionate last night. How he loved me, how tenderly he treated me taking full care that his actions should not hurt our babies in any way. I play with Aspen's hair enjoying the soft texture in my finger.Aspen snuggles more in my chest, and I blush hard feeling a tickling sensation going through my whole body. We have made love total of six rounds now, and every time it feels like the first. And Aspen has so much energy. Every time he touches me, it just feels so electric like we haven't touched each other before."Good morning Love." Aspen looks up at me. "Good morning, baby." I use a cheesy nickname for him. "Wow. I like the baby." He grins widely and kisses me on my chest, making my skin warm. Why
WINTER'S POVI look at Hudson yard in front of me with shock. Why has Aspen brought me here all of a sudden? Moreover, this late in the night. "Why have you brought me here, Aspen?" I ask in shock."Surprise." He grins widely and pulls my hand taking me to the gates of the city eye. He nods to someone. I guess he is a guard who moves inside, and soon the entire area lights up. Aspen stops in front of the cart, the door of the cart in front of us opens, and I look inside to find a table and clothe over it with many dishes placed there. Aspen takes me inside, and the door closes behind u
WINTER'S POV"Aspen if you keep driving at this speed, I swear I will jump out of your car and ride with that bicycle man to the hospital," I say irritably watching the speed of the car which isn't going up from 10 miles per hour. Even bicycles are passing us."You will not jump Winter. It will be bad for our baby's health." Saying this, he decreases the car speed even more. Now we are nearly parked. "Moreover I don't want to drive fast, it will be bad for your health.""Now even children are passing by the car, look at how they are teasing us like they have won the race aga
WINTER'S POVI rub Aspen's back continuously. I never thought the reality behind his fear and moody nature; secrets would be so heartbreaking. It must be heartbreaking, an uncontrollable emotion to know about your real existence. To know the parents, you thought as yours are not even your birth parents. To know the bloodline and heritage which you are proud of isn't yours. That your whole identity is fake."What are you planning Aspen?" I ask him. "I'm planning to give up everything." He says in heavy voice while looking into my eyes directly, "When I got to know that I'm not a Warren, I was afraid that if my reality comes out, I will be finished, my future would be finished. The one who is dealing with me leave me alone." He says in a heavy voice."No Aspen. I have seen, your colleagues and employees love you as Aspen, they love you as the person you are. They love your nature, not name. I'm sure it will not matter to them
