"I broke his trust," he said with a sad smile, taking a huge gulp from his drink."I know something happened because it's tough to acknowledge you two are cousins; he really can't stand having you around," I chuckled, mirroring the agony in his expression. I cracked open another can and raised it to my lips, and took a big sip from it.Closing his eyes, Sebastian swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down before he gazed at me once more. It was the first time I was privileged to see the blend of pain, longing, and regret etched on his face."We were once inseparable," he chuckled, the hint of regret evident in his voice. Shaking his head, he took another sip from his drink. "He lacked parental love; his folks were workaholics, always busy with their business, leaving him wanting for affection, even though they provided for his every material need.""What kind of parents are they? Is that why he hates them?" I pondered, hesitant to jump to conclusions just yet.He sighed,

My back ached as I stirred around, stretching my hand. I yawned, and suddenly, a voice beside me exclaimed, startling me. “Ma'am, thank God, you've woken up!” I jerked my head up abruptly, and instantly regretted it as a sharp throb pulsed through my head. "Ahh..." I winced, clutching my throbbing head before glancing up to find Aurora smiling gently at me.“Aurora,” "Good morning, ma'am," she greeted and extended a cup toward me, "This is chamomile," she smiled, but I simply stared at her in confusion.“What for?”"This is a herbal tea, it will help reduce your headache," she said softly, handing me the cup. I nodded, took a sip of the tea, and then glanced back at her, "Thank you," I murmured.Grinning, she nervously scratched her neck, "You're welcome, but I wasn't the one that prepared it," noticing my confused arched brow, she confessed, "It was sir, Damien."Damien? And just like that, a flicker of memory darted through my thoughts, a hazy recollection of yesterday. My

Ashley I sat in the backseat, my gaze fixed on the passing scenery, but my mind seemed miles away. Pain flickered in my eyes, like distant lightning on a stormy night. The road stretched out endlessly before me as the driver drove us down the road heading back home, each passing mile mirroring the turmoil within me. As the car hummed along, what Miss Jessica said kept repeating in my head. “You're pregnant,” I quickly closed my eyes as her cheerful face appeared in my thoughts.“Why do you feel too weak? It's not good for a pregnant woman, especially when you have a hormonal imbalance. You need to focus on eating well, getting plenty of rest, drinking enough water, and taking this particular prescribed medication to help balance the hormones for the baby growing inside you.""Ma'am," I felt a tap on my hand, and I quickly opened my eyes."Yes," I yawned wearily. "We've arrived," the driver informed me. I nodded, gently opened my door, and stepped out.The guards greeted me, but I b

Ashley It was Monday morning, and Jessica had asked me to come in for a check-up. Mason had been calling nonstop for the past few days, so I blocked his number. I needed to see my father, but I didn't want to cause Mason more trouble or pain, concerning Damien's last threat. I know him, and I’m sure he meant every single word that left his lips that day, so I sat back. Getting ready, the driver took me to the hospital. It was bustling with people, just like any other regular workday.I walked up to the young nurse at the counter and said, “Hello, I have an appointment with Doctor Jessica.”Looking at me, she offered a warm smile. "Good morning, Mrs. Ashley," she greeted before saying, "May I see your card?"I handed her the card, and after checking it, she nodded and returned it to me. "Please have a seat and wait for her. She's in the operating room but just wait for five minutes. She'll be out," she said with a smile which I also returned. I nodded and made my way to find a place

Mason I removed my tie and tossed it onto the bed, taking a deep breath in and exhaling slowly before sitting down to remove my shoes. My life has been a bag of trouble and restless for the past few months. Ashley was everything to me; she was the definition of perfection. We shared amazing memories, and we had agreed to wait until marriage to consummate our relationship back then. But then... Olivia happenedI wronged Ashley, and I know it. But I couldn't help myself. Back then, I yearned for her, craved her, and wanted her to make me feel like a man. But she still held firm to her beliefs about no sex until after marriage. I had a strong desire for intimacy, but I didn't know where to turn until Olivia entered the picture.It was all sudden like a movie.Though I've never known a sensible man to resist a tantalizing offer... especially not one as irresistible as Olivia.My intimate experiences with Olivia were beyond amazing. She was incredibly skilled, and I became fearful of l
