As we woke up the next morning, my phone rang, breaking the silence. It was my grandfather calling to ask about the babies and exchange pleasantries. After a while, he asked, "So, when are you two lovebirds planning on getting married?"Drew, who was lying beside me, suddenly sat up and took the phone from me. "Actually, sir, I've have something nice planned out, and I intended to see you physically for a discussion.” he said with a smile. "We're going to have a beautiful outdoor wedding in a stunning landscape surrounded by nature and flowers. And the best part is, it's just a month away! The venue and all is under construction and would be ready in two weeks time.”I was taken aback, my eyes widening in surprise. I had no idea Drew had planned anything, let alone the entire wedding!

"You've planned the wedding?

Few days after the birth, our house was still buzzing with excitement. Zach and Catherine were inseparable from the babies, and they took turns feeding and cuddling them.My mom and Theresa were also a big help, cooking meals and doing laundry despite the presence of a new housekeeper and cook. Drew and I were enjoying every moment of parenthood, even the sleepless nights. We would take turns feeding and changing the babies, and we would often sit together in the nursery, watching them sleep.Nessa was also a big help, and she would often come over to visit and assist with the babies. She was overjoyed to be an aunty, and she would spend hours playing with the babies and giving them attention.My mom was now staying with us full-time, she was cleared off her probation and now was happily helping with the babies and getting everything back to normal. Drew was working from home, taking care of his fatherly duties and making sure everything was running smoothly.Our home was filled with

We drove through the quiet streets, I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. It had been a wonderful evening, and I was grateful for the love and friendship that surrounded us.After a while, Drew broke the silence. "I'm glad we're having twins," he said, smiling at me.I smiled back, feeling happy. "Me too," I said. "It's going to be an amazing adventure."Drew nodded, taking my hand. "We'll face it together," he said. "As a family."I felt a surge of love for him, and I knew that everything was going to be okay. We were in this together, and we would face whatever challenges came our way as a team.As we pulled into our driveway, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It had been a long day, but it had been worth it.Drew helped me out of the car, and we walked together into our house going into our room immediately and getting ready for bed.

I woke up to the sound of Catherine knocking gently on our bedroom door. "Good morning, Alexa! I brought you some breakfast. It’s almost noon.” she said, her voice soft and cheerful.I smiled, feeling grateful for Catherine's thoughtfulness. "Thanks, Catherine. Come on in." I said to her and glanced at the wall clock, it was past 11am. Catherine walked in with a tray laden with scrambled eggs, toast, and fresh fruit. "Good morning, Drew," she said, smiling. Drew stirred, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Morning, Catherine. Thanks for bringing us breakfast."I took a bite of my eggs, savoring the delicious flavors. "Catherine, did Theresa make these?” I asked, gesturing to the meal. Catherine nodded. "No, she left hours ago. She said she had a busy day ahead of her at the restaurant, I made them.”“Oh, you’re the sweetest. Thank you.” I said, praising her sense of thoughtfulness. After we finished eating, Drew and I relaxed for a while, before he started to work on his computer. A

***FIVE MONTHS LATER….I sat in the living room, engrossed in a book about parenthood. The warm glow of the lamp beside me cast a cozy ambiance, and the soft hum of the TV in the background created a sense of relaxation. Drew walked into the room, a gentle smile on his face, and sat down beside me."Hey, how's the book?" he asked, nodding towards the pages in my hand.I looked up, my eyes sparkling with excitement. "It's great! I'm learning so much about what to expect when the twins arrive."Drew chuckled. "I'm sure you'll be an amazing mom. You're already so prepared."Just then, Zack walked out of his room, a curious expression on his face. "Hey, what are you reading?” I smiled. "Just a book parenthood.” Zack nodded and plopped down beside us on the couch. Catherine, who had been quietly reading in her room, also emerged, drawn in by the conversation.As we chatted, Stella, our new housekeeper, walked into the room with a tray of freshly baked cookies and a pitcher of cold lemona

"Claire!" Mary exclaimed, looking completely startled. "Oh, gosh, I'm sorry! I came in to bring your clutch you left downstairs, and the bathroom door was locked. Were you... are you okay?"My blood ran completely cold, my fingers tightening around my phone as I prayed she hadn't heard a single sound through the door."I'm fine, Mary," I said, forcing my voice to sound completely calm and steady as I stepped fully into the bedroom. "I was just taking a quick moment to freshen up after taking off the dress. Thank you so much for bringing my bag up.""Of course," Mary smiled, setting the clutch down on the nightstand. She leaned back slightly on her hands, studying me with a light, curious grin. "So, how was the wedding? Did Aunt Beatrice drag you around to meet every single relative and old friend in the garden?"I let out a soft, silent breath, feeling an overwhelming wave of relief wash over me. She hadn't heard a single moan, nor did she suspect a thing."It was actually really love

The shock hit me like a physical punch, knocking out a reasonable amount of air from my lungs. My eyes widened in absolute horror, and before I could even register what was happening, my throat constricted in panic.Pfft!I choked instantly, coughing violently and spitting out the wine right into my cloth napkin. A few drops splashed onto the grass, and I clutched my chest, coughing wildly as my face turned bright red.Aunt Beatrice gasped softly, immediately rubbing my back in concern. "Oh, my goodness! Claire, dear, are you alright? Did it go down the wrong pipe?""Yes," I squeaked out, my voice raspy as I frantically flipped my phone face down onto my lap, my heart beating like a wild animal trapped inside a cage. "I'm so sorry, Aunt Beatrice. It just... went down the wrong way.""Take a slow breath, sweetie," she whispered gently, reaching for a clean paper napkin to hand to me. "No need to rush."I took the napkin with shaking fingers, dabbing my lips while my eyes stared blankly

A soft knock at the door pulled me out of sleep, I opened my eyes, blinking against the bright morning light spilling through the blinds. Before I could even sit up, the door swung open, and Aunt Beatrice stepped into the room.She paused instantly, her brows lifting in surprise as her eyes fell on Mary, who was fast asleep beside me, tangled in half the duvet with her head propped on her giant pillow."Well, look at you two," she said with a warm, quiet smile, stepping further into the room. "I didn't realize I had two sleeping beauties in here. I'm glad to see you both getting along so quickly."Mary groaned softly, rubbing her eyes and sitting up with messy hair. "Morning, Auntie. I hijacked Claire’s bed last night for some quality girls’ and get-to-know-me time.""I see that. Well, enjoy yourselves." Aunt Beatrice chuckled softly. She shifted her attention to me, holding a garment bag draped over her arm. "Claire, dear, I brought this for you. It belonged to my daughter, Elena. Sh

“I need to take this,” I whispered to Mary, giving her an apologetic look as I pushed myself off the couch. I grabbed my phone tightly and hurried up the stairs to my room, Ethan’s low, heavy breathing filling the silence in my ear.“I’m opening my tablet now,” I said, my voice shaking slightly as I flipped the screen open and booted up the system.“Hurry up. I don't have all day,” his raspy voice vibrated through the speaker, sounding rough and completely commanding. Every word he spoke sent a sudden, unwanted spike of heat straight to my core, forcing me to fight the immediate wave of arousal and anxiety crashing through me. My mind flashed back to what I had just done in the bathroom, making my heart race even faster.“I’m logging into the secure drive,” I muttered, my fingers trembling as I typed out the password.“Good. Now find the Q3 corporate logistics file and read me the shipping numbers for the European branch. Don't make a mistake.” He stayed on the line the entire time, h

I locked the bedroom door with a swift click, the sound sealing me away in absolute privacy. My heart was pounding hard against my ribs as I hurried into the bathroom and threw the bolt there too. The heat in my body was unbearable now. I stripped off my clothes, letting them drop to the tiled floor in a careless pile, and stepped into the porcelain bathtub.Lying back against the smooth, sloped surface, I closed my eyes and reached for the hand faucet attachment. My fingers trembled slightly as I gripped the metallic handle and twisted the valve adjustment, turning the flow to a steady, powerful stream making the water to rush out with intense force.I guided the nozzle down, positioning the rushing torrent so it splashed directly over my pulsing clit. The initial impact made my entire body jerk, a sharp gasp tearing from my throat. The steady, forceful pressure was immediate and relentless.“Fuck,” I whimpered aloud, my head tossing back against the rim of the tub.The warmth of the

Claire’s povThe morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains of the guest room, waking me up gently. I reached for my phone on the nightstand, checking the time. It was barely past eight but then I saw a notification on my screen.It was a text from Ethan and it read; “Go through my inbox and arrange the pending corporate emails by urgency.”I hissed under my breath, tossing the phone back onto the mattress. Even when he was miles away in his house, he still found a way to invade my space. He simply wouldn't let me enjoy absolute peace for five full days.Leo was still sound asleep in the adjacent bed, curled up beneath his blanket. Trying not to make a sound, I slipped out of bed, grabbed my toiletries, and went into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Once I felt fresh, I tiptoed out of the room and headed downstairs.As I reached the bottom of the staircase, the sound of low voices drifted from the living area. Beatrice and Jude were already fully dressed in elegan
