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

Tia. I sat on the couch in Lukes's office to go through the files his father had given him. Most of the contents did not make sense. They consisted of failed transactions, attacks, bombings, illness, poisoning, and failed kidnapping. Pictures of Luke, Caleb and Alpha Aesop. Written confessions of s
"Like what you see, Tia?" he asked me, and I looked at him with so much lust and nodded. "It's yours," he said, and I crashed my lips against his. Drinking him in. Tasting him and loving every bit of it. My senses were amplified. I felt more and tasted more than before. His cinnamon scent filled my
Luke. I could not believe the level of Elisabeth's selfishness and stupidity. She was barely breathing by the time I got to the hospital. Why would she do this to herself? She had left me a note, and I did not bother to read it because every second counted. I knew Elisabeth could be irrational, bu
