LOGINAn overwhelming sense of affection took over her heart as she gazed down at her babies. It had felt like walking through fire, bringing them into the world, but after having them in her arms, she knew she would willingly endure worse trials than that for her babies. The camera flash broke her away from her trance. Her head snapped up to find Hannah clicking their pictures. She smiled as the family approached her along with Nate. "How are you feeling, Sera?" Ara asked his daughter-in-law. "Better," Sera replied with a smile. Even though the pain still lingered and every movement aggravated it, she felt much better than before. "Aww… they’re so adorable," Hannah cooed, her voice soft with wonder as she leaned closer to the newborns, her eyes lighting up at the sight of her nephews. At the sound of her voice, the babies shifted ever so slightly, their tiny features scrunching before their curious gazes seemed to settle on her, as though trying to make sense of the new presence. Unabl
Sweat trickled down her temple as she pushed with every ounce of strength she possessed. From her back to her belly, everything hurt. She could feel her hipbones splitting; even drawing breath required conscious effort. "Take a deep breath," Nate reminded her earnestly. Heat clung to her damp palm, slick with sweat. Sera turned a sharp glare at him. Nate stilled. "If you tell me to bretah one more time, I swear...aaahhh," she screamed, the pain was overwhelming. "Why does it hurt so much?" she groaned. Nate gulped. He was certain that if he told her to breathe again, she would kill him first. "Stop making faces, will you?" she snapped at him, irritated. Nate blinked at him, unsure. He had his usual expression on. He didn't know what she was talking about. But he knew better than to ask her, so he softened his expression.She pushed, her nails biting crescent into his flesh. But he remained calm even as his heart raced as if in a marathon. It felt like eternity had passed when they
Nate bowed his head, folding his hands in quiet prayer. A single plea lingered on his lips, the safety of the woman he loved and the children she carried. Sera was in the hospital, in labor. While his family stayed by her side, he had stepped away to the church, seeking blessings for them. It hurt him to see her like that. The way she writhed and cried out, each sound of her anguish cutting deeper. He couldn’t bear to watch her suffer.After finishing his prayer, he returned to the hospital. As he neared her room, her cries of agony reached him, each one tightening something in his chest. It was one of those rare moments when he felt utterly helpless. He entered the room and found her still in bed. His mother and sisters were sitting around her, watching her in concern as she bore with the pain alone. Sera's eyes flew to him, and a flicker of relief crossed her features. She didn't have to say it. He walked towards her and sat down on the bed near her. He took her hand in his, all th
His ascent to power wasn't a smooth ride; it was a roller coaster, packed with several twists and turns. He wasn't offered the throne; he had earned it through sheer hardwork and obsession. And to keep it to himself, he had to drench his hands in a river of blood. It was a journey forged in violence. Violence he reveled in. But lying beside her, only thing he was truly grateful for was her. It was absurd how he wouldn't hesitate to give up his empire. An empire he had built brick by brick, for her. Her one tear was more powerful than a colossal wave of the ocean.......Sera watched him pace the hall as he spoke on the phone. Anxiety twisted inside her, but the concern in his voice for her grandmother brought a strange sense of reassurance. She knew he wouldn’t let anything happen to her. Sera had no idea when she had started trusting him this much, when his words had begun to matter so deeply to her, but they did. The way he cared for her family had touched her more than she coudl
Sera stole a glance at him. His features were still hard, as though carved from stone. His taut posture made his displeasure evident. "Where are we going?" she questioned, her tone quieter now. Nate gave no response. She asked again, but he remained stubbornly silent. Realising he wasn't going to answer, she turned her gaze from him to the window. Her heart had begun to grow heavy now.The car slowed to a halt outside their own mansion. Sera frowned. She thought he was taking her somewhere different. Nate opened the door and stepped out. After walking around the car, he opened her door and helped her out. Despite the anger still etched on his face, his touch remained gentle. Hand in hand, he escorted her inside their mansion. Sera had no idea what was on his mind. "Sit down," Nate said, his voice softer now. Sera sat down on the couch while Nate took out his phone and dialed someone. He pressed the phone against his ear and said, "Come to the mansion." The order was direct and curt
Sera stood up, the swing’s edge pressing lightly against the back of her legs. The time seemed to stand still as he ran toward her. He looked worn out, his shoulders drooping as though burdened by an invisible weight. The instant he reached her, he pulled her into his arms almost roughly. His grip tightened, desperate to feel her, to reassure himself she was real and safe. He buried his face in her hair and closed his eyes, the breath he had been holding all night finally leaving him.Sera crushed the urge to melt into him. The wall his betrayal had built was too high for his distress to reach her. She wasn't just mad at him; she was hurt, too. And his concern felt like nothing but just an act. Sera tried to extricate herself from his hug, but his arms only tightened around her like a vice. "Don’t ever torture me like this again," he murmured, his voice laced with raw vulnerability. "You have no idea what you mean to me.""As a matter of fact, I do,” Sera said, her tone icy. “Jus
His smoldering gaze devoured her delicate curves with unrestrained hunger. The need to feel them with his mouth and fingers burned fiercely in his groin, tormenting him relentlessly. Desperate for even a fragment of relief, his hand moved up and down his shaft in fervent attempts. No girl had ever
The red light of the gym danced over his strong, sharp features. Sweat sprayed with every punch, his nostrils flaring as Nate pounded the bag with relentless force, sending it swinging violently. The poor thing had already begun to burst at the seams but Sin knew no mercy. His mind stuck on her- pl
He caught her unprepared with the question. She drew blank. "Answer," he commanded, voice laced with authority. "Mrs. Abel. She is a caretaker. I..I was walking alone so she offered me a ride to the bus stop," she lied, hoping he wouldn't see through. She was more afraid of his punishment than Go
Sera decided to let her hair down today. She gently ran the comb through her copper-kissed waves while humming a tune. After such a long time she was feeling at peace. It was as if someone had lifted the suffocating boulder from her chest, even though only for brief moments, she could breathe witho
