登入At the dining table with my Dad's best Friend.
I couldn't even say a word to Mr Mattias, all I could think of was Blake having the guts to dump me for his ex-girlfriend. I felt a buzz against my pocket, it was from Blake. I could feel my heart racing as I opened the message. ”I'M SORRY IT HAD TO END THIS WAY SHIMMA, BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ME, IT'S ABOUT YOU. YOU WEREN'T JUST GOOD IN BED, AND I GOT TIRED OF IT, PUSSY TOO DRY, AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN RIDE ME PROPERLY, I'M SORRY I COULDN'T KEEP SUFFERING WITH YOU, BYE SHIMMA,” Instantly I dropped my phone on the dining table, I felt tears welled up in my eyes. I cleaned it up as quickly as I could, but it was too late, Mr Mattias had seen them. Obviously he could see me crying, he was sitting right across me, there was no way he wouldn't notice. “Is it him?“ He asked calmly. Him? What did he mean? Did he hear me earlier? “Who?“ I sniffed in the rest of the tears. “Shimma, you don't have to pretend like you don't know, obviously, you're crying, so now tell me, did that bastard just text you again,” damn! he was serious, or pissed rather. Shit! He heard me yelling at Blake on the phone. There was no need to hide anything, I couldn't, even if I wanted to. “Yes,” I nodded. “That son of a bitch!“ He cursed. “Eat up, and get a nice sleep, okay, that fool doesn't deserve you anyways,” Mr Mattias said. Yes, those words lit me up a little, but were these words really coming from my uncle? Getting a nice sleep was entirely opposite to my night, I cried my eyes out. Of course I just got dumped, and worse, he said it was my fault. Was I really that bad? Was my pussy really dry? I traced my finger down to my pussy, digging my index finger into my pussy entrance, I brought out my finger and rubbed them against each other, I could feel a slick juice. No! my pussy wasn't dry! I guess it wasn't entirely from me, rather it was Blake, only if he would have fucked me as hard as I imagined my Mr Mattias would, then I would get so slick and wet for him, just like I do any time Mr Mattias comes close to me. The thought of Mr Mattias crossed through my head and I instantly felt horny again, or I just wanted to forget Blake this time. I dug my index finger back into my pussy, and I started moving it in a back and forth motion. “Shit!“ I greeted my teeth and used my other hand to raise my sweat shirt up. My other hand took a nipple as I began to rub it. “Arrghhh,” I moaned, "yes daddy! Fuck me Mattias. I added one more finger into my pussy as I threw my head backward in pleasure. I was so carried away that I didn't notice Mr Mattias was standing by the door. “What are you doing Shimma,” I jerked in fear, my room was a bit dark, but from the lamp I had turned on earlier, he could perfectly see me. “Why do you keep doing this to me Shimma, fuck! I'm trying to hold this in!“ He banged the door and he wasn't there anymore. I had paused on my track due to shock. My boobs still sticking out under my sweatshirt, my hand still dug into my pussy. What was that? Was he mad at me? Or was he aroused by it? I woke up hearing my dad's voice coming from the living room. My experience with Mr Mattias added to the case, how would he look at me after seeing me touching myself and screaming his name. I was ashamed of myself. I heard a knock on my door and I closed my eyes, pretending to sleep. I didn't know why or maybe it was because I didn't want to stand the sight of Mr Mattias, I couldn't. “Honey,” it wasn't Mattias, it was my dad. “Dad,” I said, still pretending like i just woke up to his voice, I turned to see him next to me, and Mr Mattias was standing by the door. “I'm sorry you had to go through the stress, Mr Mattias told me Blake left you to go home by yourself in the rain, well he deserves what he got,” my dad said, turning to glance at his best friend and they both giggled. “What do you mean dad?“ I frowned. “I heard he got beaten up by some men, maybe he got himself involved in trouble, well whoever beat him up, did us a great job,” I turned to Mr Mattias who was still standing by the door. There was no single expression on his face, there was usually none. Was it him? no he wouldn't. I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “You both should stay for breakfast,” Mr Mattias said. “Oh Matt, you know I still have work to attend to at the office, I just need to drive Shimma home and then head back to the office, thank you for yesterday brother,” my dad said then he turned back to me. “Get up sleepy head, your mum is waiting for you at home, it's the weekend, you don't want to be late for shopping,” my dad smirked at me. I loved my dad mostly for one thing, he never fails to spend on I and my mother. He would take us on lovely vacations and despite my both parents being too busy, they still never made me feel lonely. “Alright, I'll be downstairs,” my dad stood up, exiting the room, but Mattias didn't follow him. What! Mattias was now heading to where I laid. “Did you do it?” I asked him as I sat up. “Do what?.“ “Send some men to beat Blake up?.“ “What made you think I would?“ He said with a raised brow. “About last night…” I said facing downwards. “What happened last night?“ “You saw me…,” “Saw you do what?“ He dug both hands in his pocket while he stood in front of me. “Nothing.“ I said with a small grateful smile,he was willing to forget it ever happened. “Good, now come downstairs and have breakfast.“ I watched him leave and sighed in relief.MATTIAS’S POVI didn’t know who had called…….an unknown number, that was all the screen showed. But it didn’t matter how many times I told myself it was nothing. The truth was, my skin didn’t believe it.I stood in the hallway, away from the kids, away from Shimma’s eyes. I kept my voice calm anyway.“Hello? Who is this?” I said, my gaze drifting upward like I hoped it wasn’t any bad news.But strangely, there was no response.Just dead silence……like the caller was still breathing on the other end but refusing to speak.My jaw tightened. My fingers were still damp from earlier nerves, and I hated that my body was giving me away.“Who is this?” I repeated, slower this time. “Talk to me. What do you want?” I said, my voice rising.There was nothing…..No words. No background noise.Just nothing……..and that nothing crawled under my skin.Then the call ended abruptly.The screen went dark so fast it felt like a hand had snatched the air out of my lungs.I gasped, staring down at the phone
SHIMMA’S POV (continued).I walked towards the kitchen area, the delicious aroma of pancakes already hitting my nostrils.Mattias was already up.Even after what happened last night……..after the interrogation, the accusation, the fear sitting in his voice…….he was here. Flipping pancakes like nothing in the world could ever bring him down.‘How is he this strong?’ I thought to myself as I stared at him for a few seconds, just watching him focus on the food, barely noticing me.Then I felt my throat tighten anyway, because strength didn’t cancel pain. It just made it easier to carry.“Hey baby,” I said as I came closer.He turned towards me, his face soft with that bright smile I loved so much. “Hey!”He was chopping strawberries and kiwis, moving with careful hands.I stepped behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my head against his back.“Did you sleep well?” he asked.I hesitated.The last thing I wanted was to worry him… to drag last night’s fear into his chest a
SHIMMA’S POVI could hardly sleep through the night. I wish Mattias wouldn’t have told me, or atleast, I wish that wasn’t the case.I kept replaying it in my head……..Mattias saying it so carefully. ‘They think I killed Doctor Ryle.’How could they of all people suspect my husband?Mattias was with us throughout. There was no time he left us in a way that could make any of this make sense. Even if he had……..l would still never suspect him. He could never hurt Doctor Ryle.I stared at the clock….it was past 3 a.m.Mattias was asleep beside me, his face turned toward my side, his arm loosely around me like he didn’t want to ever let go of me even when he was unconscious.I lay there anyway………motionless…..,letting the millions of thoughts drown out my body’s desire to rest.I tried breathing slow. I tried counting. I tried remembering how calm my life used to feel.But nothing worked.Finally, I sat up and swung my legs out of bed. “I just need… air,” I whispered to no one.I moved quiet
SHIMMA’S POV.“Please wake up, baby, I am here now.”I didn’t even know I’d heard it… until my eyelids finally fluttered open.For a moment, the ceiling felt unreal…….:like I was stuck between sleep and a nightmare. Then my eyes found him.My husband……Mattias.The one person I’d been longing to see for hours…….maybe days. His face was close enough that I could see every detail: the tiredness in his eyes, the fear, the way his expression looked like he’d been running without resting.I stared at the wall clock again, my brows furrowing, confused.“Where did you…” My throat was dry. My voice came out thin. “Where did you go?”He hesitated, and that hesitation told me everything.“I… I had an urgent meeting with a client from Monaco,” he said. “He had an early flight tomorrow morning, so I had no choice but to go see him now.”He brushed my hair back……soft, careful.But I could see it in his eyes….The way his mouth searched for words.The way his gaze kept darting away from mine.The wa
MATTIAS’S POV.I sat in my car at our driveway, staring at thin air for God knows show long now.Thousands of thoughts swirled in my mind, but I still felt……..empty. Clueless.I knew someone had planted the idea that I was a suspect. Someone close enough to know things that weren’t just happening outside… but inside our home too. Inside our lives. Inside what we said, and what we tried to hide.Someone who knew us well…….Someone who had access.I could point to Mr. Beau first. He was always around. Always near enough to watch us………to listen to family matters, act like he belonged in our space even though he only had one job: to teach my children.But I didn’t know what he truly knew. I wasn’t sure he understood the deep, ugly experiences……..like the death of Derry, and everything that had happened after. It wasn’t like anyone sat him down and told him the full truth of how it all connected. Not with Lucas’s case still hanging over our heads……refusing to fade.God.I felt confused. Los
SHIMMA’S POVNoah, Nora, Elara……..my babies……..were clinging to me like I was the only thing keeping the world from breaking open again.“Mummy, I miss you so much,” Noah whispered against my shoulder, and the others murmured it too, their arms tight around me at the same time.I could feel my heart aching……..not just because I missed them, but because I hated myself for how close I’d come to losing them. Doctor Ryle’s death… it wasn’t just tragedy. It was shock. It was the kind of loss that made everything after it feel unreal.“All right, my sweethearts,” I said gently, forcing my voice to stay warm. “Let’s eat. Dinner is ready.”But they didn’t want to let go.They looked at me like they were afraid I might vanish again………like the bed they’d found me in had been a warning, not an illness.“Noah, Nora, Elara,” I said softly, lifting my chin so they’d meet my eyes. “Please look at me.”They did, with wide eyes…….wet lashes. Fear hiding under the love they had for me.“I promise,” I t
MATTIAS’S POV (continued)“But what is wrong with that?” She shrugged, and I breathed out, turning to Shimma, who stared at me as if waiting for my next response.“My love, you know it’s wrong to cross boundaries. Mr Beau has crossed boundaries, and that is why I have to send him away,” I said, hop
SHIMMA’S POV.I left Mr. Beau upstairs with the children so he could interact with them and get to know them better. I returned to the living room, seeing multiple missed calls on my phone. They were from my husband, Mattias.“Was there a problem?” I wondered, my brows furrowed in concern.I dialed
SHIMMA’S POV.The next morning came too quickly. I could hear the kids giggling and playing in their rooms, and it made me anxious. Mattias had an urgent meeting he had to attend, which meant I was going to have to break the news alone.I took a deep breath, preparing for the conversation we neede
MATTIAS POV.I couldn’t believe what my daughter Nora had just told me. How on earth did the kids know about that?That was five whole years ago. And if it wasn’t for Noah, I would have been dead by now. Noah didn’t kill anyone; he saved his father’s life instead.My only worry was how the kids got
