"You both know that I've never divorced my Aria. She still carries my name. You have faked her signature and prepared false divorce papers to get me remarried. I didn't object as it was your last wish, mom. But now that your health has improved, I can't stay in this marriage any longer," said Laurence with a fierce conviction.
"Yes, I want a divorce too. This was a mistake that I've been repenting for the last few months. I want my children to know their real father, " said Serenity.
"What can we say when you both have already decided," said his mom, her face flushed red with indignation. Serenity felt that it was a strange way of expressing her happiness. Her own granddaughter had been found and yet how could she look kind of angry?
Laurence's dad didn't look happy either hearing their announcement. Lau
After Three Months"Mom, Dad, please I need to join work. Nancy's there to look after the twins. I'll express enough milk for them to last for at least four hours and then go to the office. Please," pleaded Serenity. She hadn’t been able to re-join work ever since she had returned from San Francisco, a year back. With the able nanny, Nancy Smith looking after the twins, Serenity was bored out of her mind."Not yet, Sera. Your body needs to recover. Regain your strength in three more months and then you can re-join work. But not at the moment, " said her mom strictly.“At least I can freelance from home. I’ll go crazy, mom,” she pleaded. Her mom considered it for a moment.“You can talk to your dad about that. If he agrees, I don’t have a problem
"Okay boys, you win. But I'm dirty after all that surfing. If Violet shouts, you're responsible, " Alexander said, as he strode inside the house with the twins after him. He saw Colton with his uncle Eric just opposite the main door. "Uncle Eric, how are you?" He asked as they hugged each other."I'm fine my boy. Look at you? You're all tanned and looking quite handsome. Surfing's suiting you, eh?" Said her dad as he smacked Alexander's arm lightly, making him color a little."Yes, I love it actually, " Alexander confessed with a laugh. "Where's aunt Eugene and Liam? Didn’t they come?" Asked Alexander. He knew Lucas's parents were here for Violet's delivery but he was too busy at the surfing school to drop in earlier. He waited for uncle Eric’s reply with his breath stuck in his throat. He hadn’t asked about Serenity, knowing that
The next morning their parents went to Santa Ana, a neighboring city where their mom's cousin, aunt Magdalene lived with her family. It was nearby and they could return soon when the need arose.Serenity was with the twins in the room, feeding them, bathing them, and changing them. Liam wandered into the living room to find Lucas sitting with his laptop, sipping coffee. Violet had her breakfast and was sitting inside Serenity's room, watching the babies being tended to.Liam sat down beside Lucas. "Are you busy?" He asked Lucas."No, I'm just looking at this proposal. Tell me. How have you been?" He asked."Leave me. I think Sera needs a little push," Liam confessed."What do you mean?" Asked Lucas, sh
"Let them come in, Alex," said his mom. Alexander helped Serenity with the strollers. She came inside and sat in the living room. His mom poured over Alexa and Adriel, cooing at them, making them gurgle with pleasure."Oh, aren't they cute? They must be quite a handful," she said, picking up Alexa in her arms. Alexander took Alexa from her arms and held her to his chest, nervously so as not to hurt her."She's so tiny. What's her name?" He asked, slowly rocking Alexa. She snuggled into his chest and Alexander felt choked with emotions at her behavior. He felt a strange connection to her and he had no idea how."Alexa," said Serenity, her cheeks coloring a little. Would he realize the connection?Alexander looked at her, and at Alexa. He was confus
It was a wild, searing kiss that heated her whole body. His tongue plunged into her parted mouth and he tasted her like a hungry predator, not able to contain himself anymore. His arm left the wall and went around her waist pulling her closer and crushing her against his hard body. His tongue played with hers, making her surrender completely to the intense and wild kiss. His body was already on fire, his kiss was full of passion too and it melted Serenity to the core of her heart. He was all she'd been craving the whole of last year. Now that he was with her, she couldn't help but hold him close. Her fingers tangled in his silky hair as she moaned into his mouth. He kissed and kissed her more till she was completely breathless."Oh, God, I've wanted to do this for so long," he said in between kisses. She couldn't move out of his arms, not that she wanted to. Her knees had turned to liquid. He had tha
Alexander carried her all the way and up the stairs much to her embarrassment. "Lex put me down. I can walk, " she said, her cheeks flushed and hot. Did he forget that Nancy was inside somewhere?"No, I want to carry you," he said stubbornly, glancing at her and winking. She rolled her eyes at him but her heart was beating faster and faster with every step that he took. She wondered where he was carrying her to. With his admission came the realization that she had unnecessarily misunderstood him. He had always loved her. If she hadn’t been so stupid, they would have been married by now."Alex, where do I keep Serenity's stuff?" Asked Grant, coming up behind them with Serenity's luggage. She wriggled to get down but Alexander held her tightly, not releasing her at all. Serenity’s cheeks colored profusely.
Nancy came into the nursery with a smile the moment Alexander went out. She helped Serenity to switch the babies.After they were done, Serenity went to Alexander's room to freshen up for dinner. However, to her immense embarrassment, Alexander sat at his desk on his laptop. The moment she walked in, he looked up at her. Serenity’s cheeks colored profusely as his piercing gaze swept over her body. “Umm, I’ll just change out of this,” she said awkwardly. Alexander nodded silently, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second. There was a strange electric current in the air around them and the se*ual tension was too much to bear. Serenity picked up her clothes and rushed into the en-suite to change as Alexander’s eyes followed her around. She changed into a navy blue A-line, chiffon, sleeveless dress and walked out into the bedroom. Alexander’s eyes again took h
After breakfast, Alexander received a panic call from Lucas. Violet's water broke and she was in pain. They were rushing her to the hospital. He informed Serenity and asked her to call her parents and rushed out. Serenity called her parents and informed them. They would reach the hospital directly. Serenity couldn't leave her babies and go see Violet. She would have to wait for Alexander to return home. She waited patiently the whole morning for an update.At lunchtime, Walter and William came over to her house to inform her that Violet had given birth to a healthy baby girl. They had all decided to name her Valerie, as it contained the letters V for Violet and L for Lucas. Violet was fine and would be released the next day. Lucas, Liam, Alexander, and their parents were all there with her at the hospital. Their parents would return back to Lucas's house while the three men would take turns to
