Forty Three
The next morning, I woke up thirsty and hungry. I woke up in Aiden's arms as he slept peacefully. I turned to the clock on the bed side table and noticed it was nine a.m.
"Morning wifey." Aiden rasped. I turned to him with a smile, aware that I was naked. I remember him cleaning me up and getting me into bed."Morning hubby." I say back with a smile as he sleepily looks at me then moves me closer to him for a kiss but I stop him. "I don't remember brushing my teeth yesterday night before sleeping so you can imagine.""A little bad odour from my wife won't guarantee a divorce. Unless it happens everyday." Aiden jokes as I lightly hit his chest. "You did brush your teeth after a lot of convincing and promises." He laughs and he moves closer to me. "And for a record, I don't care. Now give me some love." I chuckle before kissing him for a second. He then wraps his hand around me and moves me so I can straddle him and deeply kisses me. I could get used to thiRelated chapters

Everything is moving fast. I had called Naomi on the way to the hospital who, luckily, has her own business closer to the hospital and so arrived about three minutes after I did. She walked to me and immediately hugged me, seeing how shaken I was before walking into the room my dad was in."...how long have you know about this?" The doctor asks just as we enter and I suddenly sense something big. I turn to my crying mother who spares us no glance as she looks at her unconscious husband."Five months. We were told an operation might risk everything and so he decided to rely on the painkillers." Mother explains. The hold Naomi has on me tightens as I look at mother questionably but as usual, she doesn't look at us. The doctor only lets out an exhale of air before looking at my father and examining him."We'll have to do an MRI so that we can be sure of what we're dealing with here." He explains but before anyone says anything else Naomi speaks up."

The ride to the mafia base took about thirty minutes. Within the thirty minutes that Naomi had told me about dad waking up and me promising to be there tomorrow. I wasn't ready to see my parents but I was ready to release my anger on a certain girl."Did they bring what I asked for?" I ask Aiden as he directs me to a cell that she's in. "Yes." Aiden says and soon, the only sound is our shoes against the dirty floor and his cane. He places his fingerprints on the biometric doors as we gain access until we arrive."I'll get in now. Go do your mafia shit." I mock trying to push him but he doesn't budge. "We're getting in together, princess." Aiden says. I place my thumb on the biometric and the door immediately opens. I get in and immediately see Macy looking at me with a bored expression. Aiden gets in too before shutting the door."A knock next time would be fine." Macy says sarcastically. Soon the door beeps again and a cart is rolled

Naomi and I have been sitting outside dad's hospital room as we wait for the doctor to examine for about five minutes in silence. Aiden left ten minutes ago since he has a meeting to attend to."I can't believe they wouldn't tell us." I blurt out as I tap my foot against the floor. Naomi let's out a frustrated sigh."Yeah. I can't believe it either." She breathes out, as she looks down. Aaron walks in carrying two bags. Naomi stands and takes one of the bags and kisses him with a 'thank you'. She takes out three cups a day hand one of them to me."I forgot to tell him you prefer tea but this coffee is one of the best." Naomi offer and I take the cup with a grateful smile."Hey Alex." Aaron greets."Hi. Thanks." I lift the cup and he nods with a smile."Oliver went to see Ryan. Heard he might be discharged in a week or two depending on how everything goes." Aaron informs Naomi, unknowingly filling me with guilt. Aiden has been giv

"What are you doing?" I ask Kelly who looks guiltily at me for a second before laughing."I'm practicing my shocked face when Tim proposes tonight." She says and I laugh. "Yeah. The face that you made when I asked that... That takes the cake." I grin as I look around the room. "Do you think she'll like it?" I hold up a doll that was placed in the cot."For the hundredth time. She's a new born. She won't know what to like and what not to like. But I'm positive she'll love her mummy and daddy. You guys have wanted this for long." I nod as tears start running down my eyes."Alex." Naomi calls from the door and I wipe my tears before turning to her."Yeah!" My voice is croaky. I caught the flu yesterday and had been asleep most of the day. That was until I received a call from the girl's girl we're adopting. She was in labor! That was two hours ago and Aiden went to see her since I couldn't risk being the near the baby with this stupid flu!

I finish brushing my hair with a small smile. "Why are you smiling?" Kelly asks looking at me weirdly. I just shrug, the smile still plastered on my face. "Okay..." She says as she looks at her phone. "I'm heading to the office. See you later babe." she says."I'm gonna be late. Don't wait up." I announce and the small smile on her face drops."Please tell me it's the same one as Friday's." She says dramatically and I roll my eyes."You know the rules, I don't repeat." I say with a smirk and she groans before turning to pick up her blue purse. "What do you think of this dress?""Your ass looks great." She answers and I grin completely agreeing with her as I look at the mirror for the last time. I pick up my red chanel bag. "Say Hi to Tim and tell him that I'm sorry I couldn't make it to dinner today." I say making my way out of our apartment."I'm sure he'll understand just like the last twenty times." She says sarcastically but I pretend not to hear. Tim is Kelly's boyfriend and for

'I wish I had searched about Aiden Kings before leaving my office.' I think as I pace around dad's office. Dad is in a meeting that should be done in about five minutes. I need to see him and know what business he has with Aiden Kings.My pacing stops when the door opens and dad gets in. His tired face lights up with a smile when he sees me and an involuntary smile forms in my face. I walk to him in large steps and immediately hug him."Hi dad." I mumble still hugging him, my eyes shut as I relax in his arms. A girl's got to love her dad. "How was your day?" I ask moving away from him and he lets out a tired breath."I've had better days." He answers tiredly and I slightly frown. "Do you need me to chip in?" I ask slightly worried watching him as he walks to the table with a few drinks. He pours himself some scotch then walks to his chair and looks at me with a warm smile."No princess. I got this." He says and I walk to the seat in front of his desk and sit as I look at the scattere
Red Flags Three
People easily pick out toxic relationships from the outside. Your friend, sister or brother might not be treated well by their boyfriend or girlfriend and you'll always do something to show them that they need to get away. The same applies to when a celebrity's partner cheats on them or gets physical, fans tend to go to different social media and write their opinions and comments. If the same happens in their relationships, many people never notice or see the red flags. Red Flags are easily forgiven and even ignored because we don't want to admit that the people we love just aren't for us. My hands shake as I stare at a video of me and Sean on my phone. We had just celebrated my twenty third birthday eight months ago when Kelly took this video. I remember Sean talking about settling down with me that morning. We talked about kids, names and even the neighborhoods we preferred. I wasn't really ready for the future talk but Sean talked about it enthusiastically. We both wanted differ
