LOGINCharles.She was everything that a man would want. She looked breathtaking in the dress, making me want to strip her out of it. Fuck.The ride to the other side of the town was uncomfortable, I had so many thoughts about what I wanted to do to her, how I would want her to keep on screaming my name until we got there.I wanted to drag her onto my body, then worship her like the queen that she was but I also needed to respect her, myself and the boundaries between us.After all, she has made it clear. The one night stand that we had was a mistake, something that she would never want to relive but yet, couldn't hide the fact that she was still attracted to me.“We are here, sir.” The driver announced. Throughout the entire ride, I was only thinking about one person, that I didn't even notice how far we were into the journey. I had a boner, I noticed it which I doubt if Riley had seen it but even if she did, she didn’t attempt to call my attention to it.The hall was grand. Crystal chand
Riley.Was I mad and stupid for my words? Of course, but I had a plan and I was slowly going to see it through. Or maybe I didn't think that I had a plan.I shrugged off my shoulders, putting away everything that I needed to take home with me. I needed to go to the bank, get few stuff for the house and the kids, but it was too late.The meeting had dragged time so much that there was nothing much to do afterwards. “Miss Riley.” I hated that voice, I hated the fact that the owner of that voice was going to say something that would piss me off.I never hated him, but I hated what always came out of his mouth and his daughter was making it harder. I couldn't even believe that he still looks attractive to me, after everything.I told myself to hate him for the way he was making me feel, to hate him because he fathered the person that actually destroyed my happiness. “Yes, Mr Charles.” I looked up.He has now changed into a creamy pant with just a white shirt, my breath got hitched in my t
Charles.There was fire on the mountains, I knew about it because that same fire didn't let me sleep at home for days. More of me escaping the house, at my age. “How do I fucking get Zelia back?” I questioned no one in particular.The office chair twirled, there was no one on it, as I was well seated on the couch with so many thoughts going through my mind. How did I even allow this matter to get as big as this?There was no one to blame but me. Now, Zelia has been adamant, strong headed about Riley's children being Noah's and I don't even see the resemblance that she claimed to be seeing in the kids. “Mr. Charles.” It was no one other than Riley. She was dressed in a sky blue skirt and a white shirt that highlighted her beauty so much.I couldn't help but get lost in those sexy eyes once again. She placed some files right in front of me, her mouth moving but I couldn’t make out what she was saying. My eyes were all over her body, watching as it moved until she snapped her fingers r
Riley.I told the nanny that she didn’t have to come in today, after all, I will be dropping the boys at the daycare and I had the entire day to myself, to rest of course.Although I had told myself that I wasn't going to be slacking off, I needed this rest. Not when my entire body felt on fire. “Nine.” I uttered softly. “Fair.”It was just a note that Brian had left for me yesterday, letting me keep track of all what the boys had been up to while he was here. To be honest, I didn't imagine that Brian was going to stick around for this long.I mean, he got rejected, sidetracked and all but he never left my side and had always taken care of the boys, as if they were his. “Should I just give him a chance?” This was a question that I had always asked myself.But Brian was nothing more than a friend that had turned into a family for me. I couldn't offer me more than just my shoulders to cry on when he needed it. So I pushed back those thoughts and stood up from the couch. If I kept on si
Charles.“Are you stalking Riley?” I shut my eyes for a second, steadying my breath. Scattered all over the desk were pictures of Riley's boys. In the playground, inside the apartment they stayed and many more. “She could sue us for this baby.” I added, taking a seat.Zelia didn't say anything, she didn’t even try to fight me as she placed an envelope in front of me. She looked so happy now that I stared at her face slowly. “Daddy.” She called out slowly.“What if..” She paused. “What if these boys belong to Noah?”I raised a brow. I later found out the reason why Riley and zelia never got along, it was because Noah fell in love with Zelia. Riley didn't take it easy, and broke off their friendship, which sounded so stupid to me.Somehow, it was that same day that I had met with Riley at the bar, and I am kind of happy about it. “Look. I might sound crazy but when you said something about Riley having kids and it was the reason why she wouldn't want to be a surrogate for us, I couldn'
Riley.I fastened my seatbelt as the pilot announced we'd be landing in New York soon. I would be lying if I said I wasn't angry that we'd left so soon.Zelia had thrown one of her tantrums, and now here we were, flying across the country so daddy could go pet his little angel. I scowled at the thought, wondering if it was the resentment I'd carried for years finally rising back to the surface."Are you okay?" Mr. Charles asked, studying my face.I'd almost forgotten he was seated right across from me, something I would have changed if I'd had a choice. "I'm fine," I answered.I'd promised myself that no matter what, Zelia wasn't going to dictate how I lived my life, not even when she thought it was cute to show up uninvited at my house."I don't think I'm okay," Mr. Charles said.I lifted my head slowly, wondering what had brought this on. But it was obvious enough, his angel was probably having another one of her panic attacks. "It's always been her dream to have kids, even if they
Charles. “I swear, I never knew it was going to be this fast.” I chuckled into the phone, as I spoke to the VP, Declan. He was just a director before he had closed a deal in SoHo which promoted him to the VP. It was a long story to be honest. The meeting with the president went so good, he li
Charles. The ride to the presidential palace was just a twenty minutes ride, but it felt long, with the minister filling me in about how great and happy he felt that I was now in his country. How it was now his turn to showered me with the same hospitality that I had given to him when he had
Riley. “Make sure that none of those stinking ass people come close to the boys.” I had vividly told Sandy before I left the boys in her care. Not that I doubted her, I could never because the Sandy that I knew despised Zelia and Noah, she never failed to show it. But if Zelia and Noah coul
Charles.Annabella had to go and run her mouth, letting Riley found out that something had happened between us.Well, I wouldn’t even classify it as an affair or something serious, it was a mistake, a drunken one that I had regretted heavily. I had told her then, that if I had the chance to redo e
