I woke up to the feeling of someone caressing my face. I slowly opened my eyes. The mixture of Xenoah's serious and worried face was exposed to my eyes as I sat on the bed I was lying on."Goodmorning" he said hoarsely as he continued to gently caress my face."Goodmorning" I spoke back then smiled to reduce his anxiety."I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you" he said sadly.I just let out a sigh and tried to get up. He immediately supported me.I hold his face and smiled again."You're always there Xenoah. You're always there." I sincerely said and gave him a peck on his lips."You said I'd be happy again?" I change the matter.He smiled and just shook his head and then looked at me seriously."You're strong baby I know that" he uttered and pat my head.I was confused by what he said. He got up from his seat then walked towards the door. He opened the door and then seemed to be talking to someone from there.Slowly, a kid entered the room.My lips parted as I looked at the boy next
I was not on my self when I sat on the sofa while Xenoah stood in front of me and stared at me intently.I blinked a few more times before being silenced."So you're an attorney" I stated in the matter of fact tone.His lips rose then he sat beside me."Good thing I am" he uttered and hold my hand."I'm speechless" I couldn't believe my voice.He chuckled and hugged me from my waist."Wanna know something about me?" he asked.I quickly nod as response."Hmmm. Where do you want to start?" he asked again as he played with my hand."Work maybe?" I answered.He nodded before placing his chin on my shoulder."Like what you have known I'm a lawyer." he stated.I rolled my eyes at his remark."And you're not working since I got here, is it possible?"He giggled and sniffed my neck."Xenoah!" I hissed and glared at him."Besides being a lawyer I'm also a business man baby." he said."What kind of business then?" I asked.This is the first time I asked him about his life. In the month we have
As planned we went to Ayesha and Daevon’s wedding. I never tried to let my friends know about Rafael first because I didn’t want to focus their attention on me today.As time went on I was itching to go home for fear that Bjorn might get my son back. Maybe Xenoah noticed that too so he grabbed my hand from under the table and then you squeezed. I felt calmed down somehow.Calm down, Azaia. He will die first before entering the house."Wanna go home now?" Xenoah whispered to me.I simply nodded in response."Then we'll go now" he stated."Can we? Isn't it embarrassing?" I whispered.He smiled at me and touched my face."Can you see the couple now?" he asked me.There I just rolled my eyes but I couldn’t see Ayesha. Cassandra, on the other hand, enjoys talking to Ayesha's parents with her husband and child."Where are they?" I asked frowning."Honeymoon?" Xenoah shrugged.I frowned and just laughed.Even when my friend is really obscene."Let's go. Let's say goodbye to auntie." he utter
"Goodmorning Mommy" a little voice woke me up as a kiss smeared my face."Hmm. Goodmorning baby" I narrowed my eyes in response."Goodmorning too" said by a baritone voice.I just managed to open my eyes. Both Xenoah and Rafael watched me. Xenoah smiled when our eyes met while Rafael laughed softly."Get up Mommy. Daddy cooked for us." my son said briskly as he weakly jumped on the bed.Always a child ..I just laughed before getting up."Okay okay. Mommy will just clean her face before I follow you and Dad ..." I was stunned and looked at Xenoah.A smirked plastered on his face."...dy..." I continued as I was saying, Xenoah smiled.I rolled my eyes at him and stand up from the bed.Rafael jumped down on my bed before holding Xenoah's small hand. Smiling, Xenoah ruffled her hair."Let's go. Mommy will be a dinasaur soon." he laughed."Xenoah!" I hissed."What?" he asked."What nonsense are you teaching my son" I said and glared at him."Our son Azaia" he corrected.I seem to be drown
"You better explain this Xenoah. You're all over the news." her mother mumbled and glanced at me before turning her eyes to Rafael who was now busy eating the shrimp that Xenoah had shredded for him earlier.Her face is blank so I couldn't tell if she's happy or not but I choose the latter to believe.News?That’s when I just remembered my cellphone. I didn't see it in my room so I don't remember to peek or look at it.What's going on?"Let's eat first" he uttered.Her parents both let out a sigh before walking past her.I lowered my gaze when they finally sat. Xenoah prepared them their plates and spoons before sitting down next to Rafael.They were all on the other row while I was alone on the other side.My hands started sweating as my heartbeat became fast.I don't know what to do or how to react!I was not prepared for it. No, I never really thought it would happen. All I know is that her parents are in another country and occasionally come here to visit her and their other busin
I remember the time Xenoah first showed me Rafael. It first occurred to me that he was his son based on their resemblance."Hey. Are you okay?" Xenoah asked me.We are currently in the room I use. Rafael fell asleep playing with Serefina while his parents left again. I can't say that they opposed or supported us, the only obvious thing was that her parents wanted everything to be clean before we started."Did you see my phone?" I asked back then looked around the room.I heard him sigh so my eyes focused on him."You have it?" high eyebrows, I questioned.He groaned and get it from his pants.My brows furrowed in confusion.What was his trip on my cellphone? Does he have no load?He came over and handed it to me then he sat down behind me. We were both already sitting on the bed where Rafael was lying on the side.He hugged me from behind and buried his face in my shoulder."Baby" nothing else seems to be begging this."Seriously Xenoah, what's going on?" I'm seriously asked because I
"What the fvck ?!" I hissed when I tried to see for myself what's happening in the social media."I told you not to open it" Xenoah muttered then took my cellphone.We are now in the living room and watching a marathon to fall asleep. My son is asleep on Xenoah's thigh while Serefina is on my thigh."Xenoah" I seriously call him.He looked at me coldly."You promised Azaia" he reminded me."But your license is at stake!" I shouted softly."I don't care Azaia. I don't care." he said hardly.I closed my eyes tightly and took a deep breath. I felt him hold my hand and buried his face on my back shoulder."You promised baby" he said hoarsely, just wanting to beg.I opened my eyes and face him."I won't leave you like what you're thinking Xenoah but I think we need space, Rafael and I can't be here. Bjorn may have used it on the court, worst part he might do everything to get your license as a lawyer revoked. I can accept everything Xenoah but letting go of everything you've worked so hard
"Hey are you okay? You looked dumfounded." Cassandra caught my attention."Tsk. You miss him, aren’t you?" Ayesha added.It's been a week since I keep my distance far from Xenoah and until now I still can't get used that he was not here with me. When they heard that I will be moving out temporarily, they immediately set a schedule to visit me and Rafael.We were in the kitchen while the children were in bed and busy watching cartoons.I took a deep breath and drink my shot. Yeah, I'm drinking a whiskey in the middle of the day while they are having juice.Cassandra already told us that she is also pregnant. Something that I really know based on how clingy she was to me recently."I do not know if I am okay or not, okay?" I exclaimed then looked at the both of them.They frowned at the same time and gazed over my face."Girl, with that face of yours, the only thing that is missing there is the word “depress”" Ayesha stated teasingly."Why did you leave there if you can't be this far fr
