Present time.
"Mommy, Ashton removed the powerpuff girls." Ashley snuffles into my office with her blonde hair up to her shoulders and blue eyes staring sadly at my own brown eyes.
"Baby, go tell him to put it back okay?" I smile and she nods going back to the lounge as I turn back to my lap top trying to crack this case of my client Derrick Collins charged with homicide.
"Mom, Ashley removed teen titans." Ashton stormed into my office for five year olds, these dumplings are quite voluble. His blonde quiff messier than ever and his green eyes looking at mine for attention.
"Anyways its time for bed... so no one will be watching any cartoons." I stand up leading both of their grumpy faces to their rooms. Once they are both asleep, I head back to my office.
The past four years haven't been easy but Angelo and I managed to give our babies whatever they needed and they absolutely understand that mommy and daddy are not together so every weekend they spend time with their father then I have them for a full week well only in the evening because they go to kindergarten through out the day otherwise everything is perfect.
not perfect.perfect would be you and Angelo raising your kids as a family. - my subconscious mocked me. Deciding that it is late and I should get some sleep, I head to my bedroom suddenly Angelo calls and I'm forced to answer.Forced to answer because if it were up to me I would ignore but it might be important."Hey..." I vaguely greet through the receiver..
"Hey Raina, just wanted to remind you that tomorrow I will be taking the twins out." He says enthusiastically, he loves the twins, you could tell from a mile away.
"Uhm okay." I say with a yawn, its midnight I need to sleep.
"They will be meeting my girl friend, Yaya." He gabbles.
"What ?!?" I say vociferously.
"She isn't replacing you Raina, you will always be their mother." I could literally picture him rolling his beautiful green eyes, clenching his jaw while saying this.shut up."I can't believe you right now." I frown at the thought of them playing happy family with this Yaya.
"I'm sorry but at least now you know."
He isn't sorry."Wow like that actually makes things any better." I say sarcastically.
"It does because I don't want you to get any hopes up." He says confidently. A part of me weeps because I know it's true. No matter how many girls I see Angelo with, there is always that hope that it's temporary and one day we will be a family.hopeless romantic.
"What do you mean ?" I frown.
"I know you are inlo-" I cut him off.
"Actually I'm happy for you Angelo at least you will stop being a male little whore sticking that dick anyone that fits and get settled down." I gush out before hanging up. I quickly receive a text.
you forget you used to accommodate this dick. - Angelowhat an Asshole.I think to myself before closing my eyes. Hopefully my babies don't get introduced to a strumpet (prostitute). Yaya is a stupid name.

Woke up early and got ready for work wearing my black pencil skirt and white blouse tucked in, as well as my black heels then added light make up and tying my hair into a bun, I was ready to run the day."Morning Miss Raina." Maya greeted me in the most sincere way.
"Morning Maya." I smiled walking into the kitchen sitting on the kitchen island stools. Maya is in her late forties, she occasionally takes care of the twins when I'm busy or when Angelo is busy. She is very nice and friendly and her advises are always the best.
"So Angelo will be picking up the twins later on..." I frown.
"Oh, Raina why do you seem unhappy ?" She says wiping the island with a white cloth, she doesn't have to but she just loves tiding up. She is like my second mother here in Los Angeles.
"He is going to introducing them to his girlfriend." I muttered.
"That's wonderful is it not ? " she gushed.
"I guess." I shrugged more Ike rolled my eyes.
"You always wanted him to stop being a play boy so he could be a good example to his kids." She convinced.
"Yes but now that its finally happening I don't know how to feel about it."
That should be me, this is so sad.
"I understand but just be happy he is changing for them." She assured me with a smile."Well you are right, thank you Maya." I hugged her. "Let me get going, Derrick Collins is not going to be happy about the news I have for him."
I stood up grabbing my laptop bag and car keys from the counter.
"He deserves what ever news that are coming for him, Raina don't forget he is a murderer." Maya spat."Everyone is innocent till proven guilty." I flounced out of the kitchen heading out before Maya continues arguing.
"Bye Maya." I yelled as I went inside the elevator that went down to the basement.
Maybe Maya is right, Angelo has been wild and unsettled...the media knows him for all the wrong things but at least he is making the effort to change maybe just maybe this woman is exactly what he needs to become a better person.
You couldn't do that.
Maybe I wasn't the person for him, my feelings never faded he was my first love and I don't think its easy to try and move on from that even though he reminds me all the time that there will never be a us. I always assumed the twins would bring us together but not really.Its quite sad, the things we do for love.Raina Williams"Unfortunately Mr. Collins I have bad news and good news !" I clarified to the man who was sat across me in a prison visiting room."Let's hear it." He said in a grumpy voice, I couldn't blame him though if I was in jail for two weeks and my lawyer comes to visit me with nothing but bad news I would fire them on the spot."Our appeal for bail was denied." I said not proud of it at all."What ??!? So how long am I going to stay here for a crime I didn't commit. This is bullshit, you are not doing your job dammit !" He raised his voice making the other visitors and prisoners stare at us including the guards. I hate this place it gives me the chills it's so dried out the only colours that brighten the place up are the orange uniforms for the prisoners as for the guards they are so intimidating."A crime you didn't commit, that's rich coming from you." I said sarcastically earning a cold glare. "If you didn't hit and run an innocent young man then you wouldn't be here... no
Raina Williams"My babies, I missed you already..." I hugged the energetic twins as they both ran in my arms. They make everything worth it, even having to deal with their father and his bullshit, they make it all worth it.After the long hug, I stood up straight to acknowledge the man standing in front of me, looking devilishly handsome just like the first time we met, its like he gets younger by the day."Maya already prepared your breakfast so go say hi to aunty Maya." I said to Ashton and Ashley and at the sound of Maya they scurried off, they loved her a lot sometimes I'd even became jealous but I love Maya too she is truly amazing."Morning Raina." Angelo greeted and I couldn't help but feel affected by the way he talks to me, it sends thrills all over my body, I hate it..."Morning..." I replied at the awkward scene which I did not want to endure any longer."So how was your dinner ?" I decided to ask sincerely. If she makes him happy then why should I be step mother in this Ci
Raina WilliamsIt was finally the day of the dinner, I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. Well I had been to many dinners and lunches with the Le roux family but this particular one was different because Angelo would be having his girl friend Yasmine over there. Sadly, that should be me.I parked in the spacious parking that I have gotten used to and familiar with, even the Security of the Le roux's doesn't even question me anymore when-ever I come around."Ashton, Ashley...babies wake up we are at your Grandparents house." I whispered waking them up gently. They looked so peaceful as they both squinted their beautiful eyes looking at our surroundings.I opened the drivers door as soon as I was out I opened the passenger door at the back."I can't wait to eat granny's blueberry pie." Ashton muttered stepping out of my Silver Land Rover. I don't know I guess I always had a thing for big cars."All you do is eat Ashton. Grandpa said you will be fat." Ashley replied a glint of i
Raina Williams It's been over a month, everything is splendid. I met up with Derrick's son Grayson, such a nice young man. He made me laugh and cry while laughing which I hadn't done in quite a while. He was hesitant to meet me but I told him that I would do everything to help his father's case. Fact is Derrick wouldn't be coming out of prison but the least I could do is get him a minimum sentence then if he serves nine months I will push for parole otherwise he will be serving Life imprisonment or twenty five years and more. Not to mention, I kept my word and distance throughout this past month, I didn't see Angelo. I avoided him for as long as I could after all its for the best. I also stopped talking to Alma and his parents honestly it's true I meddled quite a lot. If I was in his shoe's I would do the same thing, all I have to do now is keep my promise. "Miss. Williams.." Nadia walked in my office. "Yes, Nadia." I smiled going through some documents. "Mr. Le roux insists on se
Angelo Le roux"How is Raina doing?" My mother asked."Fine, I guess." I muttered under my breath."She never calls anymore you know and I have a fundraising at church she usually helps me bake the cupcakes. I guess not this year." My mom frowned."Yaya can always help, you know Raina only helped you to score points with me." I shrugged sat on the balcony with my mother admiring the nice view. My parents couldn't have chosen a better mansion."She helped me because she grew up in a Christian home, its just in her to help and she knows what and how to host these type of church functions.""Yeah yeah no wonder she was a virgin." I mumbled."You ruined her Angelo, would it have killed you to keep it in your pants." My mom glared at me making me flinch by how harsh her tone came."Does that mean you didn't want any grandchildren?" I smirked."No I love the twins they are everything to me.""I just think if you hadn't came in her life and ruined it all. Today she would be married to Someon
It was the weekend and I was resting a bit the twins were with Angelo. I just wore a huge T-shirt and some shorts underneath. Grayson was coming over, I didn't know why I was excited but I was.There was a knock, I ran to open the door. It reviewed a man with a 5 o'clock shadow like Angelo.Fuck what's wrong with me.His blonde dirty hair disheveled which just made him even more sexy even in a suit. His blue eyes staring at my own brown eyes."Come in." I said."What a great place you have." He said looking around."Thanks Gray, can I get you anything?""Just water, I want to be sober when I get home." He chuckled."Okay, make yourself at home while I get your water." I gestured for him to sit. Going to the kitchen, my phone suddenly rang. It was a text.Angelo : Ashley reminds me a lot about you.The same way Ashton reminds me of him. I didn't want to reply, that would just lead to something else. Angelo had been doing this all the time for the past three months, he sends me a message
Angelo Le roux.I had to get her out of my system, I had to stop having these puerile thoughts about her. Maybe I just needed one last fuck from her... A few months ago I could have sworn that when I had warned her not to meddle in my life, I meant it but why did I always have the sudden queer urge to always want to be around her at all times even even having some rather sickening dreams about her.What's wrong with me ?I had everything, Yasmine is everything I have always wanted. She had the most amazing smile...but Raina's is breathtaking... I love Yaya, I convinced myself, besides everything else Yaya is from Netherlands and i have always wanted to marry someone from my own origin, Dutch women I always found appealing; But Raina...I grew up in Netherlands, Amsterdam but I studied in London then came to USA to take over one of my father's legal branch, I wasn't really happy about it until I got introduced to her. She was wearing her black pencil skirt and a white blouse, both show
Raina.I woke up to a different scent, arms were around me as I laid on his chest. Then I remembered last night, I'm such a slut. I was reminded of how wild we were when the ache between my thighs pricked. It had been long since I had slept with a man, it was amazing but that was it, it's over that was our two minutes of pleasure before reality kicked in.Angelo loves Yasmine not me.I convinced myself, I had to be strong since Angelo was a compulsive liar, he was such a good pretender whispering sweet nothings in my ear. Of course to get inside my pants, he would do anything even lie while we fuck that he missed this, us. It was all in the moment but I kept quiet not wanting to say anything, I didn't mean in between the meaningless sex we were having. What am I saying all the sex we have ever had was a meaningless fuck. I watched him peacefully asleep, he was beautiful made by unfortunately I have accepted that, I don't stand a chance with hot fashion designer girlfriend. It's good
