SYLVESTER’S POVI watched my boss car drive off and I entered the warehouse. The call he had gotten had probably been urgent but kids? I wasn’t jobless enough to stalk him wherever I could get more information on him from, but from the little I’d seen about him, it wasn’t public knowledge that he had kids. Well, that was new information I could file away for better use.I continued touring the warehouse, amazed by how organized and strategic things had been arranged. That made me know my boss a little better. I’d been surprised when I had seen the offer, and had been even more surprised that I’d gotten it, I could scarcely believe it even now. For someone that hadn’t known any favours in their childhood, this was a great game changer for me, and I was going to use it wisely. Now, if my other wish could be granted, and I could see her again, my life would be even more fulfilled. But even this level of fulfilled was almost unbelievable. It was almost unheard of that someone with Brent’
I unlocked the door and stepped in, the twins following closely behind me. For a moment, I was tempted to ask them to go wash their hands or something else to distract their attention, but I didn’t. I brought out my phone and dialled Priscilla’s number for probably the thirtieth time, and I started breathing fast when her phone began ringing. I picked up her phone and carefully moved into her bedroom, hoping and praying she was inside.I walked carefully but steadily into her room, and my legs almost buckled when I saw the figure that was stretched across the bed in a child’s pose. Knowing the twins were behind me, I stopped and turned to them.“Why don’t you guys go and wash your hands, and I’ll be with you? You can see that your mom is fine, right?” I tried convincing the twins.They hesitated but left reluctantly at my prodding. I walked towards Priscilla and tapped her, and my eyes widened at how hot her skin felt. I tapped her again when she didn’t respond, and didn’t stop until
CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHTI was stuck under something. That was my first thought and probably what woke me up. I felt a hand on my forehead and let out a scream, rushing to save myself, falling down in that rush.“What’s going on?” A frantic voice asked.I finally opened my eyes, the groggy memories of the previous day rushing back in and saw Brent kneeling on the bed, his face a mask of terror and was that a book in his hand? “I'm sorry.” I apologized, realizing I'd scared Brent and it had been his hand that had felt like something had fallen on me.He stared at me and I could see that he was trying not to laugh and seeing the humor in that situation, I gave up and scoffed. “Laugh all you want. I can see through you.”He melted on the bed, his body racking with loud laughter and I shook my head and climbed the bed back.He stopped laughing and moved closer to me, ignoring the distance I'd intentionally kept by putting myself as far away from him as I could. “I want to check your temperatu
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINEI didn't even mind her tone when she snapped. “What favour did they ask?”I stared at her, serious and all smile forgotten. “Why would the twins believe you're sad?”“What?”“The twins told me they think you were sick because you've been sad for a long time and they wanted me to be their daddy. In those very words.” I confirmed when doubt started rising in her eyes.She shook her head. “I don't know why they would think that I'm sad.” She gasped as if remembering something. “Maybe because I've not been speaking with Carlie of recent. They've been asking me of her recently.”I noticed she had only focused on the first statement but I let it go, for now. I furrowed my brows. “Carlie? The one that stole your designs? What does that have to do with the kids thinking you're sad.” PRISCILLA'S POVI debated what to tell him and opted for an half truth. I shrugged. “We used to talk like three times every week and suddenly we stopped talking. I don't know what goes through
I took a deep breath and sat in front of the kids. They'd already finished breakfast and I'd informed them I wanted to tell them something.Aiden frowned. “Is this about what Avery said yesterday. I'm the one that told her to say that.”Brent glanced at me sharply and I shook my head. Since they were twins, I knew go expect the fact that they were always trying to cover up for each other.I nodded. “Yes. It's about yesterday and you two are not on trouble so there's no need to lie. Um, this is not really because of what you said but I should have told you before so you wouldn't have to have thought that way.”Brent tapped me so I knew I was rambling. The kids confused and worried expression didn't help either so I just blurted it out. “Brent is your daddy. A while ago, mummy and daddy stayed together but since mummy left, daddy did not know about you so I did not tell you.”And there was silence. I turned to Brent, my heart starting to beat even faster than it was. Why weren't they sa
BRENT'S POVI understood her fear of facing my parents, after all, a lot had gone wrong in the past and more could happen yet I was certain I wanted the kids at the office, if that would mean bringing some sort of nomalcy to our lives. I knew it was an opportunity for me to get to spend more time with her as well so it was more or less, a win win situation for me. The only obstacle was how to face my parents. As we played with the kids, all I could think of was how to break the news to my parents without creating more problems for Priscilla. The kids giggled happily as we played hide and seek and they kept finding me easily, because I let them. Priscilla was watching us with a distinct, content look in her eyes and somewhere in her body, I knew she felt relieved to have some help with the twins. “That was so much fun.” The twins said after I decided it was time to end the game. It was getting late and I needed them to sleep so I could spend more time with their mother. “Yes, I know
Priscilla's POVDespite Brent's constant reassurance that the kids will be safe with him, I just wasn't ready to take any risk with him or his parents but the kids seemed too excited about going to his work place and I can't refuse their request, not when he's present and I have no excuse to give for not letting them go. So after assuring me for the umpteenth time that the kids will be fine and arrangements will be made with his parents, I decided to give it a shot and let them go. “Thank you for letting me help you out, Priscilla. I know it's a bit hard for you right now and that's why you always have me, we're in this together.” He held my hands which was something he'd been doing a lot, especially today. My eyes darted to our intertwined hands, reminding me of the past but I quickly shrugged it off and focused on him. “The kids are yours as much as they're mine and I have every responsibility to cater for the as much as you do so don't wear yourself out trying to act the role of
BRENT'S POV After I left Priscilla's house, I had conflicting thoughts on how to reach my parents but while driving, I decided it would be better to just call them, that way I can't see their reaction or physical outburst so when I got home, I headed to my room and found my bath prepared already. I soaked myself in the water, reliving the events of today but my thoughts most welled on Priscilla and the kids. I was more excited than I'd have imagined about finally revealing my true identity to them and the fact that they were coming to my work place made my night better. After bathing, I put on a robe and dialled my father's phone number. The call rang for about a minute before he finally answered and when he did, he sounded like he was falling asleep already. “Good evening dad. Sorry to have woken you up so late.” I started off politely in order to ease whatever subtle tension might rise later. “Glad you know it's late and you shouldn't be calling at a time like this, what is it?
PRISCILLA’S POVI was on cloud nine! My head and heart was going through the roof as his tongue and fingers worked wonders in me. I grabbed the chair tightly, hoping I wouldn't scream louder than I already am. He took his tongue off, giving me a moment to breathe only to get back to it immediately in a way that sent jolts flying through my body. I moaned and screamed even louder but somehow his hands managed to reach up to my neck and choked me. I coughed slightly with tears dripping out of my eyes but he suddenly started driving his finger and tongue, in and out of me at the same time and I lost it. I screamed, almost ripping off the fabric of the couch. My hands flew to the head on impulse and buried him even deeper between my legs. I was dying! He didn't stop despite my screams for him to stop, of course I didn't want him to but I was becoming breathless as time passed and it felt like life was seeping away from me until he added a third finger and drove it slowly inside me be
BRENT’S POV“Brent stop. You're holding me too tightly. Why the hell are you dragging me out? What is wrong with you?” She yelled but the loud music drowned mostly half of her voice. I couldn't stand seeing or hearing her speak to that creep shoes eyes were undressing and fucking her already so I stormed off, pulling her closely behind me and the only thing on my mind at that moment were things I wanted to do that in private and have the name of that idiot wiped from her memory. She obviously didn't understand why I was pulling her out if the event that'd barely just gotten started like five year old but at least the only thing she was doing was complaining and not kicking and throwing tantrums like an actual five year old. “You'll thank me later” was the only thing I muttered in response when we finally made it to the parking lot. She snatched her hand away from me at the slightest chance she got and was about to return to the party when I pulled her fast and dangerously close to
BRENT’S POVI was losing my mind, but in a positive way. God! She looked so ethereal. In all of my entire life, I'd never seen anyone look this good. The dress was everything it could be but her body killed it. I could barely take my eyes off her as she kissed the twins goodbye and for the first time, their presence didn't matter a lot to me. All I wanted at that moment was to take her right there. I felt a bulge rising in my pants just by looking at her. Everything about her screamed beauty but what stood out most to me was the slits on the dress. It went both ways and exposed a fairly dangerous amount of her thighs, my eyes roamed all over her body as I just couldn't get enough.She looked like a goddess! My goddess! After this night, Evelyn was definitely getting a raise for picking out such an incredibly amazing dress. She watched the car drive away with the kids before turning to come into the car and the way her curves fit and swayed perfectly in the dress, I could only t
CLARA’S POVI don't know what came over me at that moment but all I knew was that I wanted to get back at Brent. I knew my dress would be sent in a couple of hours so I decided to do as much work as I could before leaving. I called Claire again but she didn't answer so I made a mental note to call her later. After cleaning the house and disinfecting the kids room to avoid getting a relapse in Aiden’s health, I decided to do something I never thought I would. I called Anna, Sam's wife and bit my fingers nervously before she answered. “Hi, who's this?” Her sweet voice came up and I almost ended the call. “Uhm, hi, it's Priscilla. Brent's ex wife.” it sucked to introduce myself as his ex wife and not the head of the biggest fashion brand in the world but that would soon happen. “Oh, hi, Priscilla. It's been awhile since I heard from you. How are you and how are the kids?” She asked and her calm demeanor made me feel relaxed for a bit. “We're fine,thank you. Actually, the reason I'm
PAMELA’S POVThe next time I woke up, I was in the hospital with tubes and monitors connected to my body and all sorts of foreign sounds ringing in my head. I couldn't look around because it felt like my head was stuck in place. All of a sudden, my head started to ache and my heart started beating faster. I clutched my chest tightly while slapping on the bed to call for help. The monitor beside me was blaring loud and I became even more scared. Am I dying? I asked myself. I peeked as much as I could but there were no doctors around me and tears started falling from my eyes. Finally, a doctor noticed what was happening and rushed into the room. Shit! I heard him mutter. “Her heart rate is dropping. Intubate her.” That was the last thing I heard before I crashed out. I found myself in a dark place with no form, no wound, no light, nothing, it even felt like I was an alien for being there. Out of nowhere, I felt a deep gash through my stomach and when I looked back, I found Kent hol
BRENT’S POVI couldn't believe Priscilla just ended the call on me. She sounded so upset like we had an argument that last time we met. All through the ride to the office, I kept thinking and wondering what could be gone wrong but there was nothing in my head. When I got to the office, Evelyn was already in my office and she had a big grin on her face. I, on the other hand, wasn't too excited to do anything. “Uh uh, someone doesn't look too happy to be here today. Looks like you had a bad night, well that's not my fault is it? Let's get down to today's business.” She said and I hurried to my chair. “What are we doing?” I asked, pulling apart the chunk of files on my table. “You still have about twenty minutes before your first meeting so I'd suggest that you go through some of these paperwork before then. That way you won't have to return to excess work later.” She read out. “Okay, great, where do I start from?” I asked, confused on what was happening. My head suddenly felt hazy
PRISCILLA’S POVMy entire life is chaos! This morning was worse than I expected it to be. I'd woken up with a terrible headache, which I would blame on the fact that I wasn't able to sleep normally. For some reason, my mind was occupied with thoughts of Brent and the female voice I heard in his car. “Get a fucking grip, Priscilla.” I'd yelled at myself in the shower. I had to rush through the kids' breakfast and prepare for school. I had to prepare waffles and pancakes for them because I couldn't deal with any complaints from them. After rushing through breakfast, I expected that things would go faster than normal but life as usual, had other plans. Aiden was burning up with fever while Avery was more reluctant to stand up. On mornings like that, it always felt like the universe was punishing me for my unknown sins. “Aiden, honey, please, let's just get through this bath. We'll go to Doctor Morris in the afternoon, okay?” I said but that didn't help so I had to make special attem

PRISCILLA’S POVMy heart was screaming fear and the hope of Brent helping her was the only thing keeping me going. Brent assured me he's had men sent to help her but I still couldn't bring myself to a relieved stop. Claire's boyfriend kept throwing things around and yelling and I could hear Claire's tiny whimpering and it almost made me break into tears. Balls of sweat were trickling down my entire body despite the full air conditioning in my room. After a while, I finally heard what sounded like doors opening and eventually a fight. Ten minutes later, Claire's boyfriend's voice disappeared into oblivion. It was then that I finally heard Claire's full breathing which eventually turned into a bout of tears. I couldn't bring myself to say anything because my tears were also stuck in my throat and crying together won't solve anything so I stayed quiet while waiting for her to be calm. “We've gotten to her, ma’am. She's safe now.” I heard one of the men speak into the phone. “T…than
