What's wrong with your son?”I bit hard into my lower lip and I tasted blood. “This feels hard. Harder than I had thought.” I sank into the chair and gathered Altas in between my hugging arms. “Atlas, you may need to go inside the bedroom now, okay?

You and daddy will have all the time together tomorrow while I get busy at work.” Locking his gaze on mine, Alfred moved closer to me. “I forgot to tell you something, Samantha.” He said in whispers. “My boss will be meeting you after work to give you all the flowers

I need not be told by anyone. The resemblance

She could feel her blood boiling as tension gripped her inside “Calm down, Samantha.” She said to herself, placing a hand over her chest. She pushed the covers off her body and stood up. She thought of reaching out to Alfred to disclose the message she had received from Ethnan to him, but on a second thought she decided to keep it all to herself. She would have all the time to face Ethnan, but until after the launching of her new company.
