LOGINELAine. “Anytime today please” Niks voice boomed from downstairs and I rolled my eyes ignoring him then motioned to the stylist that was helping me. She rubbed a shimmery oil on my exposed chest and shoulder and I curled the hair I left out to frame my face. The image that greeted me was one that had me humming in satisfaction. This was our first major date night since the twins were bornIt was my chance to be outside and be anything other than a mother. Nik was right, I haven’t been able to return to school and I underestimated what post Partum with two children was going to be like. I waited as she helped me slip on the strappy sandal heel I chose for the day and beamed again in satisfaction at the entire result. The door was pushed open and my husband stepped in all dressed up in a tux with our daughter on his hip, and the surprise of my look was ruined but the look on his face was good enough. “Oh, Mrs Stavros, you look ravishing.” He added a wink that made me bloom under
Nik. I watched as she fed my son, and I started to wonder how that tasted. “What?” She asked, squinting her eyes and I shrugged not looking away. “It tastes just like what I ate for the day most times. Sometimes sweet, or even salty.” I chuckled in amazement, “how do you know what I was thinking.” She only rolled her eyes, “ hello, I know you a little better each day.”The way the words rolled off her tongue just made me adjust in my chair, watching her breastfeed didn’t turn me on, but this turned me almost immediately. I didn’t expect what she did next. But she got up and put Daniel down in the cot beside our bedI watched from my position on the bed as she called the housekeeper who came and took the baby to play with them and when they were finally gone she smirked at me. Fuck this can’t be what I think it is. It’s been 6 months post partum now, and for most people maybe it was too long but for us, I wanted to only try again with sex when I was sure that she was ready. I
Love at first sight. Love at first touchLove at first smell. I stared at the little bundles that were in my arms and I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t believe this was possible but the moment I saw them both, I already knew my life forever changedTwins. We surely didn’t know when we decided not to do a gender reveal and wait till the end that we were going to have two children. I stared at the tiny babies and my eyes were almost closing out of tiredness but I only struggled to keep it open because of the hand that was gripping mine tightly and the soothing words been spoken. “You’ve done so well, Peristeraki!” “My little dove, look what we made” he cooed, his eyes so tender as he stroked the little girl's cheek. “We did so good, didn’t we?” My eyes watered and he kissed my forehead in response. “No more fights,” he looked at me, and I could see the plea in his eyes“This is our clean slate.” That was the last thing I remember nodding to before drifting off into sleep, as after
Nik“Eva.” The name rolled off my tongue with so much disgust and I hope she could tell how much it was that I hated her, that I still hate her. It’s a present continuous forever tense. She smiled, her bloody red lips parting to reveal pearly white teeth that could have been fangs for all I care. Because she might look the same as years ago, barely aging on the surface but she was a blood sucking demon underneath. I took great care to school my expression into a mask so that she couldn’t tell how much she affected me. “It’s been ages.” She drawled. “You have less than a minute to say what it is you want to say. Once the Valet gets here and my car is outside, best believe I’m done with this conversation.” She sighed and dropped the mask and for a split second, I could see the woman I loved underneath the Botox and layers of makeup. The woman I gave my heart to for the first time. “Nik, I’m sorry.” Her eyes watered and I’m not sure if it was to trap me again. “Me too.” I whispe
“Yes I can, but what does that have to do with making me something?” “Perhaps the fact that I’m not your maid, or subordinate who you can order and they will jump up and say yes sir at any freaking time of the day.” I fired and his entire expression changed. He wasn’t expecting that reply, and it was immediately clear how pissed he was. “Careful Elaine.” He warned sternly while stalking forward to come to a stop just where I was. He stood there for a while, waiting for me to say anything else, but his daunting presence and the dark look in his eyes actually scared me much more than I cared to admit. He was taunting me, waiting for me to say one more word. I know he wouldn’t hurt me because of the baby, but I’m sure he could do other crazy things to me if he wanted to. I sighed heavily and turned back to face what I was doing, ignoring him as much as I could before he stalked out of the nursery. He didn’t come back home that night. Maybe, just maybe I’ve finally pushed him into
Chapter 87. Eva. My heart knocked against my ribcage in a loud thump as the question slipped out of me. He could try to deny that it was no one but I noticed the way he gripped the edge of his seat harder. The way his features shut down and you could tell that he didn’t want to be readable. I don’t know who the person was, but it’s clear that it was a woman and something happened. “A wannabe business partner..” He said coldly before turning away from me. Liar. Big, fat, liar. The person who didn’t want me turning away from him, was now turning away from me. I hissed loudly, “you don’t even rate me enough to not lie to me. At least try giving me a better excuse.” He sighed, and squeezed his temples before turning again, “it’s an old friend” “Friend from where?” Which friend was comfortable enough to stain his shirt. Someone who hated physical contact suddenly didn’t mind hugging people. “Do you want me to tell you the history of everyone I’ve ever met?” He snapped. And th
CHAPTER 40. We sat at the dinner table with Alex and his wife and some of their dearest and nearest as they described. It was an intimate dinner to celebrate Alex’s birthday and even though Nik had previously travelled out, he had to come back to attend it. Everyone around me on this table was d
NIK. She didn't even care to hear my side of the story or understand what happened. She just went straight to blaming me and that had hurt. In her eyes, I guess I will always be the evil man and honestly that's fine. Somehow I keep forgetting that this is a contract. I'm not here to understand
NIK. I slammed the brakes hard and she lurched forward. “What did you just call me?” “What did you do that for?” She whined and covered her mouth. “Don't you ever call me that again” I warned. She must have heard it from Serena when they were in the ladies room. “What? Nicky?” She pouted
CHAPTER 39; Elaine. I dropped the bags on the floor without a thud. He was furious. He might not have raised his voice but the way he stalked towards me and the set square of his shoulder, alongside the firm line in front of his mouth was a dead giveaway. “I..I..I didn't think it was important
