Entering the room, my eyes grew wide in shock to see a naked woman lying on his bed. Love bites covered her body. Rage filled my heart replacing the concern I had for Andrei Kanovski. I couldn't contain my anger and I blurted out. "He's a beast!" I heard Regina, the nurse with me, gasped in trepidation.Not far from us, the President who was standing by the French window, peering outside heard my words as I spoke loudly in anger, turned and like a prowling lion he approached meFor a short while I froze when I saw the scratches on his chest, shoulders and biceps. Our eyes met. My purple eyes were arrested and held captive by his gray ones. Calmness was all I could see in his eyes. The calmness before a storm.He took steps approaching me. Eating up the distance between him and me. I stood my ground. And faced him head on. He didn't remove his gaze away from me and came close to me. So close that I could feel his warm breath on my face as he looked down on me while I was looking up at him. I could smell his minty breath and his clean masculine scent. "Mr. President, what you did to her was inhumane," I said but gulped when he lifted his hand and held my chin with his thumb and forefinger. "Do your duty, soldier," he growled at me, making me tremble inside but I never showed my fear. I turned and began to treat the unconscious woman. For about an hour, we cleaned her and applied ointment on the red marks on her skin. We just finished applying ointment on the marks on her body when she woke up. Her eyes were wide in shock and were almost popping out of her eye socket. "What are you doing here?" She said harshly and got up from the bed. "Did you come to seduce Andrei?" Hostility filled her eyes and she eyed me like she was going to attack me like an angry lioness whose cubs had been taken away. I was utterly taken aback by her and that made me unable to speak. She pushed me, ran to the president and threw herself to him. "Andrei, let's do it again," she purred as she fondled the president's biceps. Mixture of disbelief and embarrassment swirled in my chest like a tornado.Stupid. I scolded myself for acting impulsively and standing for her when she wasn't actually a victim. This made me unable to restrain myself from cackling.The woman looked at me dangerously, and if look could kill I would have been lying on the floor, dead. "Are you jealous that the president bedded me?" This woman was getting on my nerves as she provoked me."Hah! Not all women fantasize about him. You can have him all to yourself. Goodbye," I turned to Regina whose face contorted in fear. "Let's go," I picked up my medical kit and pulled Regina out of the room. I have already given her a piece of my mind and there's no need to linger in that room. So what if the president took a fancy to her?I would rather not let the president look at me than to experience what that woman had gone through. I must admit that his face could take a woman's breath away. Not to mention his body. Delivering his speech clad in a military shirt and trousers this afternoon. He was hot. Yes, our nation's president is just 31 years old. He was elected to the office of the president when he was 27 years old.His young, handsome and hot. Nevertheless, I'm not interested in a man like him. Heading back to where we came from Regina who had been quiet for a long time began to talk. "Are you shocked a while ago?" Regina's question made me halt and I looked at her dubiously.Was she not shocked at all? "Are you not?" I asked with a frown. "Why are you shocked?" Regina asked me instead of answering me.From what I see in her expression she was not. "I heard that the president's sexuality was in question because being young and handsome, he was not seen with any woman apart from his personal assistant who was his family friend," Regina nodded understanding my point. "I have been in the military before he became the president," Regina said. Regina was five years older than me. But I have a higher rank than her, as I was a general surgeon. I joined the military a year ago. So she must know more about him than me. "Whenever he visits a military base, the generals would present him a woman every night while he stayed in the camp. But this thing was kept under wraps." I was appalled hearing such a revelation. A flurry of disgust swept my chest. Actually, I was on a one week leave of absence starting today and was about to leave the base.But I heard of the president's surprise inspection. Thus, I decided to stay in the base even though I was on leave. I admired him being a good president. He did a lot of good things for our nation. I was so excited to see him in person. But it didn't cross my mind that he was a libertine.Andrea Wilkin’s POV The garden was filled with laughter as my kids, my siblings' kids and cousins' kids were running about the garden. Today is my dad’s sixtieth birthday. My siblings and I organized this surprise birthday party for him. “Are they coming?” My brother Austin asked while cradling his third child. “Yes, mom sent me a text an hour ago that they’re preparing,” I replied. “Kirsten is blessed to have you, Austin,” I said, smiling. Austin and Nicholas are like our dad, they are hands on dad. My phone rang as Austin was about to respond. Before I answered the call, I signaled at everyone to keep quiet and they cooperated, not wanting to ruin the surprise. “Mom?” I whispered. “Andrea, your dad is asking me where we are going and the reason we are going out. What should I tell him?” I chuckled. It’s really hard for mom because dad could see through her. It’s really hard to surprise him. “Just tell him that you wanted to have a date with him,” I suggested.
“Congratulations!” Evan gave me a manly tap on the shoulder. Tara had just finished feeding our baby and laid her on the baby cot when he and Trixie came in. “Oh, so beautiful,” Trixie cooed. “What is her name?” Evan asked while looking at my sleeping daughter. “Andrea,” Tara answered and I looked at her in surprise. “You don’t like it?” she squinted her eyes. “I’m happy, babe,” I hugged her, smiling from ear to ear. Naming our daughter after my name was one of her ways of showing how much she loves me. This woman truly amazes me. Despite all the pain she has gone through since we got married she always finds ways to express her love for me. She loves me no matter what. ***The following day, the DNA test result was out. The result has proven that Tara was the great granddaughter of Marcus Reinsterd the Duke of Clorgow. Tara’s grandfather released a statement that Tara is his great granddaughter, the daughter of his grandson the son of his son, Lincoln. In his statement, t
I was like a cat on a tin roof waiting for my “great grandpa” which I was going to meet for the first time. “Don’t be nervous, babe. They can’t hurt you,” Andrei reassured me as he kissed the crown of my head and stroked my large belly. “Dad and mom, will be here, shortly,” as soon as he said that we heard hurried steps coming from the entrance of the mansion. Suzanna smiled at me reassuringly as she walked towards us. “All will be fine, darling,” Suzanna said as she stroked my back. Trevor layed a box and a file on the coffee table before me.“The box was what your grandma left for your father, while the file was your father's legal documents.” I looked up at Andrei and his smile gave me the needed strength for me to look into the box. One by one, I took out the content of the box. I took out the diary and read it. March 5[I was disowned and disinherited by my family because I chose to marry Lincoln Reinsterd. But it was worthwhile because we love each other.]June 1[All of
While I was brooding, the door burst open and I saw Courtney come in while the bodyguard was restraining her. I waved my hand, “Let her be.” “What are you doing here?” I tried not to let my annoyance seep through my voice. This woman saved me after all. “Mr. Hendrick, your surgeon is my friend and he discussed your leg injury with me.”“And?” I frowned. What does she have to do with my injury? “You didn’t look at the card I gave you?” she asked and her eyes darted at the side table. “I’m a physiotherapist,” she went on. She explained to me that I will have a greater chance to walk again if I undergo therapy. Tara’ POV“You can visit me, mom,” I told mom as she was crying when we were left alone in the room. She nodded and wiped her face with her handkerchief. “You take care of yourself, okay,” she said and kissed my forehead. “I will,” I said and we hugged for I don’t know how long. My brothers were in the living room looking solemn as they stood before the grand piano.
Jordan was at the door. “We are all waiting for you at the dining room,” he said and gave me a mischievous grin. I forgot, it’s Saturday today. When I came to Astrana, we all gathered together at the dining table at lunch time on Saturdays. Jordan was right as everybody was seated on their chair at the dining table when we came down. “Sorry for making you wait,” I said as Andrei drew a seat for me. “It’s alright,” Trevor answered, smiling at me. The sparkle in his eyes was more brilliant at this time. Is this because he was seeing his best friend in me? Suzanna told me that my biological dad was his best friend. One by one I looked at the faces of people I love as we were having lunch. My heart was filled with gratitude that I was blessed by God to have been surrounded by people I love and love me too. ***The day before we were leaving, I was hugging Andrei from behind as he was shaving his face. “Babe, we are leaving tomorrow night and I haven’t visited Hendrick in the hosp
I used my eyes to plead to Andrei and let me go to the hospital. Yes, I don’t see Hendrick as a lover, but he is my friend and I can’t just ignore him knowing that he is now in the hospital. “Let’s go,” Andrei said and I was relieved. I hugged him and said, “Thank you, babe.” “Get Johnny to drive for you,” mom said. Andrei embraced me as we traveled as I was tense. “Don’t get agitated. Think about our child.” “Mm,” I nodded and silently prayed that Hedrick would be fine and the surgery would go well. There was a woman who was waiting in the corridor in front of the surgery room. She might have heard our hurried steps and turned toward us. I was stunned as she was beautiful. My heart suddenly leaped with excitement. Finally, the one for Hendrick showed up. “Are you the girlfriend?” she asked when I was near her. Andrei slid his arm around my waist, silently telling her that she’s got it wrong.“I’m sorry, I thought you were because he has been calling your name. So I called
