Ida was 39 weeks into her pregnancy, with just a few days left for her to give birth. She was excited to meet her baby, but this pregnancy was more difficult than her first.It was tough on Elon as well, taking care of Kayden, work, and Ida as well. Though they had help, it was still tough. Ida suggested they get a nanny for Kayden, but Elon was being too skeptical.“Babe, we need to consider getting a nanny for Kayden. With another baby coming anytime from now, we need any extra help we can get. And there’s work, too. Your weekly checkups, too, are by the side," she tried to reason with him.“ I think we do; I was skeptical at first. Wait a minute; I can have my mom help with Kayden. She can move in to help since she’s the only one at home at the moment.”"Xara coming here is not a bad idea, but we still need a nanny to help her. Kayden is a handful, and she will also be helping me with the newborn.” She added.“ Anything for your comfort, babe," he said, squeezing her hand gently.

"Surprise!" exclaimed Xara as Elon and his pregnant wife entered the house. While Elon appreciated the company Xara had arranged, he knew some adjustments were in order.Ida greeted Xara with a side hug, saying, "You look gorgeous as always.""Thank you, you're glowing too," Xara replied, assisting her daughter-in-law to sit. "Do you both want anything?""Ma, some orange juice would be perfect," Elon requested, and Rita went off to fetch it.As they settled, Elon inquired about Xara's travels. "I've had a great time exploring the world," she shared, smiling. Rita returned with a jug of orange juice and three glasses before excusing herself.Elon then broached a serious topic. "We need a favor from you, actually. With Kayden's nanny not being sufficient, and the new baby on the way, we could use your help. We thought you might stay with us for a while."Curious, Xara asked, "What kind of favor? Do you need my help with something?"Ida, sipping her juice, replied, "Yes. We need your help

"Spill, Giada!" Ximena exclaimed, her curiosity piqued as she and Ayanda settled into Giada's cozy apartment. The trio had just wrapped up their exams and decided to surprise Giada at her place for a couple of days before heading back home. Giada, caught off guard by their sudden appearance, quickly regained her composure. "Sorry, girls! Can I get you something to drink?" she offered, her hospitality shining through. "Yes, please," Ayanda replied, her eyes wandering around the tastefully decorated apartment. "And you're going to tell us every single detail about your date with Kye," she added with a playful grin. Giada chuckled, her cheeks flushing a hint of pink. "Alright, alright," she conceded, heading towards the kitchen. "I've got Mac & Cheese, shrimp fried rice, and Chinese food. What are your cravings?" "Shrimp fried rice sounds perfect," Ximena decided for the group. "Great choice," Giada responded, just as a knock echoed through the apartment. "That was quick!" Ayanda r

Calvin stood on the balcony of his new home. The view was beautiful, serene, peaceful, and quiet, just as he wanted it to be for now. There were times he wished he had someone to talk to, but he decided against it. He called Kimora one time, and when she answered the call, he quickly ended it. She called several times, but he didn’t answer. He just wanted to hear her voice, and once he did, he was fine. ~~~ "Hey, gorgeous,” Alyona said as she entered Ida’s ward with Khloe, Davina, and Zeke. “ Hi guys,” she responded, happy. She was already bored in the hospital. She had spent three days in the hospital and was leaving that day. Elon had gone to drop Kayden off at school and was on his way back to pick up his wife and daughter from the hospital. “ Where’s my little angel?” Khloe asked, walking to the baby’s cot. “How are you feeling, by the way?” Davin asked her cousin. “ I’m exhausted, and I miss my bed so much.” Ida pouted like a child as Khloe carried her baby. She took her m

Shit! What time is it?" Alyona suddenly sat up from Bazyli's lap. They had been so engrossed in chatting and having fun that they hadn't realized how late it had gotten after dinner. They enjoyed each other's company and shared lots of laughs. "It's 11pm," Bazyli replied. "I have to go home, Baz. It's really late," Alyona said, starting to pack her things. He didn't want her to leave, but he knew she wouldn't be comfortable staying at his place. "Let me grab my keys. I'll be right down," he told her as he went upstairs. Aly couldn't help but smile as she watched him go. As she touched her lips, Alyona couldn't help but remember the sweet kiss she shared with Bazyli a few hours ago. It made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. He had been so gentle and tender. "Ready?" he asked, surprising her as he came down the stairs with his bike key in hand. "Yeah," she replied. He walked over to where she was standing and pulled her into a hug. Her hair smelled like bubblegum

"I think it’s time you focused on yourself, Kimora,” one of her friends and colleagues, Ha-Yun, said.“ I’m trying to, Yun, but his thoughts are just clouding my mind. He called me one time and refused to speak, yet I could hear him breathe. I called back several times, yet he refused to answer the call,” she explained.“ You can’t put your life on hold for him. He hasn’t made his intentions clear; whether he is in love with you or not, we do not know.” Ha-Yun tried to reason with her.“ I know, bu— “ You’re in love with him; I get it, but he clearly doesn't know what he feels for you. It’s more of a one-sided love affair. I’m sure there are a lot of men out there dying to have a chance with you.”"Umm, no one has approached me yet, Yun. Unlike you, who’s happily married, I’m a single woman in love with a man who isn’t. Yaaaay! F*ck my life!” She sarcastically added.“ You know what? Do things you like. Go out, visit the spa, and go on solo dates. Learn to love yourself, and then you

The moment Ayanda stepped through the door of the Maximilian Penthouse, she gasped. It had been a while since Giada and Jaxon had last visited the penthouse, and it was even more breathtaking than they remembered. The last time they had been there was for their father's birthday, a joyous occasion that now felt like a distant memory."Wait till you see the room," Giada chuckled, her voice filled with anticipation as they lugged their suitcases up the grand staircase."Hi Courtney, is there anything we can eat?" Jaxon called out to the long-time caretaker of the penthouse. Courtney had been a fixture in their lives for as long as Jaxon could remember, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the expansive property with unwavering dedication."Yes, the cook is preparing you something delicious," Courtney replied with a warm smile. "Go ahead and freshen up, and I'll come and get you when it's ready."Jaxon enveloped Courtney in a hug, the familiarity of her presence bringing a wave of com

“ May I?” A voice asked, waiting for Kimora’s approval to sit at her table. She took Ha-Yun’s advice to go out more and decided to try that since she had no major engagements coming in due to the festive season that was fast approaching.“ Sure, please do," she replied as he murmured a ‘thank you’Kimora raised her head to see who she was talking to, and she was in awe. The man sitting in front of her was gorgeous—I mean, drop-dead gorgeous.He smiled at her reaction, his lips pursed in a thin line. He had toned olive skin, emerald eyes, and the deepest dimples she had seen on a man. He had a clean shave and a chisled jaw. His hair! His hair was thick, long, and curly, parted to the side with a stylish undercut.“ I’m so sorry for staring; I was just—“ It’s fine, beautiful. Pardon my manners; I’m Jamal, Jamal Ryker.” he introduced. “ Kimora, but my friends call me Kim. Nice to meet you, Jamal," she replied. “ Nice to meet you, Kim. I’m sorry. I just invited myself into your space,
