LOGINGrand aunty Ummul passed away a year ago, and we still miss her, especially Emma and Chloe. We had learned sign language because of her. We did not mourn too much because we knew she had gone to rest. Luke was glad we could care for her a little longer before she died. Aunty Amira was married with c
"You missed breakfast," Luke said, and she looked away. I noticed a hickey on her neck. She saw that I noticed and tried to cover it. "Come on, Luke, Aunty Amirah can come for breakfast whenever," I told him, and she smiled at me. Not wanting him to say anything else, I urged him to move on. "I ho
Tia SIX MONTHS LATER Luke and I woke up late, so we had to rush to prepare for breakfast. Chloe and James were peaceful babies, and even though they had nannies, we checked on them at night to ensure they were alright. They were a blessing. Paul was growing well too. Doctor Khalifa had said his he
"Stacy.." he managed with his deep voice., but it sounded weak and defeated. I looked up gradually, and his eyes were filled with tears. "I am sorry, Stacy. I was mean to you. I should have made more effort. I should have loved you harder. I take all the blame," he said, and I shook my head and sto

"They will smell me, Luke. Please stop," I managed to link him back, and he looked at me and smiled. "Even better," he said out loud. No one knew what we were discussing except for us. My tanned skin was a blessing because I would have been red all over. "I am happy everyone is here," Alpha Aesop
"come on," he said, holding my hand and urging me to get up. I wondered why and I had to ask. " We will shower and then spend the entire day outside this mansion." he said, and I felt my insides tingle because I knew exactly what he meant by 'showering'. Elisabeth's predicament became a distant me
Tia. I sat quietly in the car while Luke drove us to the resort. I couldn't utter a word. The exchange between him and Caleb over me was embarrassing, and I felt like my presence in their home was driving a wedge between them. We got to the resort and entered our room quietly. The room was exquisi
Tia. The speed at which Luke left the house made me suspect the matter was urgent. Because I did not stay long in the bathroom. When I got the MMS by one-thirty, I was shocked. It was from an unknown number. At first, I wanted to believe it was an old picture, but it wasn't. I was in shock. I wonde
