CHAPTER 86: CARTER FAMILY DRAMA DAMIEN:I took a slow, measured step forward, shielding Kim slightly behind me as I narrowed my gaze."Faith? What the hell are you doing here?" I asked, my voice low but sharp, cutting through the awkward silence like a blade.She didn’t say a word. Her eyes dropped, avoiding mine entirely. But the man beside her, dressed in a modest beige suit that screamed lower middle class, cleared his throat and stood."I’m her father," he said, his voice calm but firm. "I brought my daughter here because she is carrying a Carter child. Your brother, Roland, is responsible."A heavy silence fell over the room. I heard Kim gasp softly behind me. My jaw tensed.Roland stood abruptly, knocking his knee against the coffee table. "That’s a lie! I don’t even know this girl beyond office greetings. I never touched her."Faith’s eyes lifted to Roland now, her expression wounded but resolute. “You don’t know me? Really? Roland, you have been fucking me in the office toile
CHAPTER 85: BACK TO NEW YORK DAMIEN:"Thornhill's death is just the beginning.”After I read the message, I gave the phone to Kim. Her eyes widened in shock.“What are they up to?” she asked, looking scared. “Are they threatening us?”“I don't know. But you have nothing to worry about. I will protect you with my last breath.”Kim leaned on me and rested her head on my shoulder. “I don't know what I've done to deserve you.”I didn't respond with words. I wrapped her in my arms and ran my hand up and down her back, whispering more promises. In no time, she fell asleep in my arms like a child and I carried her to bed and lay beside her.I was glad she didn't have trouble sleeping.The rain started before dawn. Heavy, angry drops lashed at the windows like nature was throwing a tantrum. I rolled over in bed and found Kim still curled up beside me, the covers tangled around her legs. Her breathing was soft and even, but when I shifted to slide out of bed, she stirred."Are you up already
CHAPTER 84: THORNHILL IS SHOT DEAD KIMBERLY:The phone slipped from Damien's hand and landed on the table with a dull thud, its screen still lit. His face lost all color."Damien?" I reached for his hand. "What is it? What happened?"He slowly turned to face me, his jaw tight, eyes distant. "Thornhill is dead."My heart skipped. "Thornhill? You mean Mr. Thornhill, the attorney?"Damien gave a stiff nod. "He was shot. Less than an hour ago.""Oh my God." I stood, my stomach twisting. "Who would want to kill him?"Damien’s lips curled into a grim line. He stood, pacing the length of the living room like a lion in a cage. "That's exactly what I want to find out."My mind began spinning, trying to piece things together. Thornhill had been acting cagey lately. Ever since Damien pressured him to do the right thing regarding my Grandma's will, he'd seemed... different."Do you think this has something to do with the will?" I asked, following Damien with my eyes.He stopped pacing, staring o
CHAPTER 83: SPRAINED ANKLE AT THE GYMDAMIEN:“Alright , two weeks it is,” Kim responded with a smile. I was very pleased.First, I wiped the corner of her mouth with my thumb and kissed her like I had never kissed her before. The kind of kiss that lingers for hours.I left her in our room scrolling through her phone, and went to the gym. I seriously needed to stretch my muscles. But a couple of minutes later, she showed up at the gym. I don't even know how she was able to locate the gym.“Why didn't you bring me with you?” Kim asked as she stood at the doorway of my private gym, staring at the equipment like they had wronged her in a past life.“You want to join me?’She nodded. “Don't you want me to stay in shape?”I laughed, tossing a towel over my shoulder. “Come on, princess. I want you to stay in shape.”She hesitated, as if she wanted to change her mind. “I would rather do yoga. You know, stretching. Deep breathing. This…” she waved at the row of treadmills and weight benches,
CHAPTER 82: DINNER IN PEACE KIMBERLY:Suddenly, he took my hand and slipped it under his joggers. When my hand connected with his throbbing erection, I gasped. “Play with it, Kim,” he said as he propped his head up with a pillow and relaxed, closing his eyes. “It's all yours.”I wrapped my fingers around his dick, unable to move my hand away.“You're so inexperienced. Let me show you.” He lowered his joggers a bit so that his manhood bounced out. Then he made me curl my fingers around it and started moving my hand up and down.He groaned. “Yeah, do it that way.”I wanted to pleasure him the way he has been pleasuring me since we got married. We haven't had sex and it was all his idea. But he has made me cum more than a dozen times. This was my chance to reciprocate.I picked up a bottle of oil and applied it on my palms. Then I wrapped my hand around his cock. His eyes darkened and a soft moan escaped his lips.I began moving my hand up and down slowly at first. Damien's eyes were s
CHAPTER 81: SPOILED AND STILL MINE KIMBERLY:We sat by the pool, chatting and getting to know each other even better until it was time for lunch. The maids had taken care of that.We had a light meal and even though I wasn't satisfied, I didn't want to complain.After lunch, I washed up and got dressed. Damien was taking me shopping.I adjusted the strap of my sundress as I slid into the sleek leather passenger seat of Damien’s Bentley. California’s sun bathed everything in a golden glow, and the man beside me made it impossible not to smile. He looked ridiculously handsome, even in something as simple as a white shirt rolled at the sleeves and beige chinos. He had his sunglasses perched on the bridge of his nose, one hand on the wheel, and the other casually resting over the gear like he owned the entire world.And maybe he did. At least, my world.“I made a reservation,” he said as he turned out of the estate’s private gates. “Place has a great view. Seafood. Thought you’d love th
