After receiving an order from General Rossini, she excused herself.
General Rossini and I have discussed how to keep this matter sealed and away from the publicI don't want my people to be thrown into confusion upon knowing about this accident.Two hours later, we heard knocks on the door.The door was opened by the guard and he was followed by the purple eyed beauty pushing a food trolley.Knowing that she's academically excellent, I wondered what her food tasted."I should be going, Mr. President and enjoy your dinner," he saluted to me.Before he turned to leave he winked at me.This was General Rossini's first time to act like this, as if he was matchmaking.No, I can't taint her. She's too innocent for me. She deserved better."Mr. President?" She called softly, drawing my attention.I looked at her. Her crystal clear eyes were sparkling as they looked at me with anticipation."Feed me," I intended to speak in a cold manner but I was surprised that my voice sounded warm and gentle.As expected, a smart girl like her took note of my tone.A smile graced her lips which made her more beautiful.She scooped the soup and lifted the spoon to my mouth.My eyes never strayed at her while she fed me."Did you really cook?" I asked her, she nodded.The food was up to my taste. I could even compare her to the chef in the presidential palace.How could such a woman have it all? She's blessed with beauty and a brain.And she could cook well. Like a professional chef.Is she also endowed with great body as well?The question that came across my mind made me look at her body.She's wearing a loose shirt and baggy pants.With the type of clothes she's wearing, I couldn't tell if she's with a beautiful body.I enjoyed the food she prepared for me.I wanted to eat more. However, it's already night so I shouldn't be eating much.I raised my hand to stop her from feeding me.There was disappointment in her eyes when I didn't want to eat more."I don't eat much at night," I told her and she nodded.The disappointment in her eyes instantly faded.This girl easily learn from her mistake, she put a straw in the bottled water.Smart move, so as not to repeat what had happen earlier.I felt like a king the way she attended to my needs.She left with the food trolley and came back after a few minutes."Do you need anything, Mr. President?" She said to me, looking straight into my eyes.What I like about her is that she acts normally in front of me.She's not pretending to be shy to get my attention.I've met many women who acted like shy women but deep inside they wanted to throw themselves to me and climb on my bed.She isn't shy but not disrespectful.She carried the demeanor of a brave soldier."Help me clean my body," I watched her closely to see any change in her reaction.Her beautiful face didn't change a bit. No blushing cheeks. No dilated eyes. No gasping.I now know why General Rossini was very proud of her."Take me to the bathroom, I want you to clean my lower body," I told her wanting to see if she will freak out.But I was taken aback when she answered me. "Okay."She helped me walk into the bathroom.When we were in the shower. She removed my hospital gown.I held her hand when she slip her finger in my waistband to remove my boxers.She lifted her eyes to me with a questioning look."Are you not shy?" I was beginning to doubt if she has a hidden desire towards me.Her lips twitched."Sir, I am a surgeon and working in the military base. I have seen numerous men's naked bodies," her answer made my blood boil.I didn't know why I was so irritated by her answer."Get out! I'm going to call you when I'm done," my chest heaved up and down.Tara's POVWhen he told me that I was going to clean his lower body. My whole body got numb and coldness saturated me.Good thing that I was always ready for whatever was thrown to me and I was able to face him calmly.So when we were at the shower, I was really prepared to clean him as I set my mind that it's not different from doing a surgery.Plus, I took this assignment from my superior so I can't fail him.I was flabbergasted when he yelled at me and ordered me to get out.I was wondering if I irritated him by the way I answered him."Alright, Mr. President. Please be careful and not make your injury wet," I left after reminding him of his injury.Thirty minutes went by and he was still in the bathroom. So I began to worry and knock on the door."Mr. President, are you alright?" I asked when he didn't response to the knocking."Mr. President?Once again, I called him."I'm done!"My heart that was at my throat went back to its proper place when I heard his voice.I open the door and help him sit on the bench so I could clean his upper body.With so much care, I cleaned his body.When I was done cleaning his body. I got worried when I noticed him breathing heavily."Mr. President? What's wrong, sir?" I asked.Why was he breathing heavily when he was just sitting there?"I'm fine, don't worry," he answered me but I was still worried."Are you sure, sir?""Take me to the bed, I want to rest now," he told me, so I led him to the bed.To make sure that he was really fine. I held his wrist and checked his pulse.It's normal but his skin was hot.I couldn't just shrug about it. I check his temperature and was deeply perplex that he didn't have a fever.I was sure that the thermometer was functioning well and the batteries are all new.I tried to check my temperature and there's nothing wrong with the digits indicated."Mr. President, may I touch your forehead?" I said, I'm going nuts.It's my first time to face this.I sighed when his forehead was not hot.I have to really make sure that he's fine. I checked his temperature again and it's normal.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
