All Chapters of Donovan (Book 3): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

From the first time I met Eddie, I told Thea how I fell in love with a kind gentleman. My first kiss with him after my other ex-boyfriend, Jessi Fleck, drops the bomb on me in high school. My parents approved, and he proposed to me at the Eiffel Tower. Gave my virginity to him. I even told her how he made me quick my job and live with him when I was pregnant with Leo. But I explained with sadness and pain after Leo was born, Eddie changed.He was no longer the man I loved on the first day he hit me because I left the apartment without my phone. I was out with a couple of my friends and forgot my phone. He was so mad; he slapped me hard that my jaw almost broke for not answering his calls.He was furious especially calling me an irresponsible mother for leaving his son unattended. But we have a nanny to take care of Leo. I couldn't go out for just a day of relaxation. Eddie doesn't understand the hardship a mother can do after her baby is born, and he assumes I'm doing an excellent job

"Yay! The beach!" Leo fills the summer air with laughter. He starts running towards the water and removes his shirt to the ground dipping himself, splashing, and swimming.It will be two weeks before Effie, and the boys are attending college soon. I'm glad Effie enrolled in college since I heard she wasn't planning to. She, Logan, and Liam entered a university instead of a community college. Effie changed her mind.Effie is majoring in performing arts so that she would have classes in dance and music and, of course, theater, although she has already started her career as a singer.But some of her classes must be online since she is pregnant and has a daughter who will be one soon next month. A September baby likes her mama.Logan has been taking up athletic training since he fought as a kid, and he's training to be an MMA fighter like his idol, Ares. As for Liam, and computers, he's very good at hacking and anything involved with a keyboard. Also, Lily is attending the same college an

"You know, C.J.," Jordan begins to prompt as the girls, and I are out in the back while the kids are swimming at the pool and the men are out.Logan has been training this week for a big amateur fight next weekend, so Don and Rex are with him. Seth is out with Terry as he sets up a double date, and the look on her face tells me she is itching to tell Seth she's not interested. But you know Seth, he can be very persistent regarding women. The only remaining Wolfe brother, Liam, is here with Ramsey and the kids in the pool. Jordan continues her conversation and says, "Since you love to cook and stuff, why not work at my family's restaurant? I know working at the B&M gives huge tips, but as someone with your skills in cooking, I'm sure the restaurant will be busy with people."Next week Effie and the others will be starting their first day of college, and spending time with family and friends is a great way to relax before the stress comes. Clark and Sam are here as well, playing with t

I entered Joe's Diner this morning and saw the place was half full of customers. I decided to take Jordan's offer after she told me that her dad needed extra hands. Don dropped me off before he headed off to the gym. I left Leo in Seth's care along with Chris's other children because Terry is busy at work, and he got nothing to do. Effie and the others already started college. But Effie's first day is online classes in Songwriting and Introduction to Classic Music. So, she will be staying home. Effie wishes she had taken the course on campus, but Dr. Warren, the personal family doctor, says she shouldn't be walking around much, even if she's only four months pregnant.The only reason she's complaining now is because she isn't with Logan, and he has classes on campus. She's worried that someone like her arch-nemesis, Heather, or someone who shares the same personality will take the opportunity and grab Logan. Liam and Lily are with him, so she got nothing to worry about. Still, she wo

The whole month I have not told Don yet. Every night we would cuddle, and he would try and make his way to have our clothes off, but the thought of him touching my breast, which grew a bit, and the baby bump, I had to make excuses. Just the idea of not having sex is driving me crazy. I even wear his oversized t-shirts to hide the baby bump; he doesn't expect anything. But I have cravings, which I say I'm on the month.We don't have to make love every night. I mean, the sex was amazing. Even my cousins and Lily will tell me their sex life stories regarding their man. They would say the Wolfe brothers are like Gods in bed.I didn't want to believe her nonsense, but Don makes a hell of a lover.And I want to be with him until we grow old together and watch our kids grow until they find someone they love.The topic of the baby growing inside was killing me, but Eddie would sometime come to mind, and I had to put it to a halt.Ever since Eddie called me, he has been quiet. He has done noth
