Kris shook his head, a thoughtful crease forming between his eyebrows. โNo,โ he said. โI donโt think sheโs left the city. Millie wouldnโt just leave her work without officially informing me. Sheโs responsible that way. Iโm certain sheโs still in Baltimore.โZekeโs eyes narrowed in thought. Krisโs words had sparked some hope inside him. โLetโs start checking hotels and apartment complexes.โ Kris suggested, glancing at Zeke. โI can have my contacts look up records of apartment complexes. And you can have yours check hotel records.โZeke nodded determinedly as he started the car. โYes, let's do that.โInside the bar, Francis staggered out of the washroom with Paco, who was clutching his bruised head.โFuck, I think he cracked my skull with the gun.โ Paco groaned. โWe have to make them pay.โFrancis gritted his teeth. He didn't care about Kris Miller's involvement. All he cared about was getting back at Zeke Mathews.The man might be powerful with his house surrounded by guards, but Fra

โZeke?โ Millie breathed.โMillieโฆโ Zeke replied, just as softly, his voice thick with something she couldnโt quite place. They stood frozen for a moment, simply looking at each other. Millie took in the sight of his disheveled hair, the way it fell over his forehead in messy waves, as if heโd been running his hands through it over and over. Normally, sheโd have laughed at the look; it was so unlike the polished, composed man she knew. But now, the mere sight of him sent a heavy ache settling deep into her chest.Bypassing her, Zeke stepped inside, letting the door fall closed behind him. His eyes searched hers, intense. โHow could you do this to me, Millie?โ He questioned, his voice cracking slightly. โDo you have any idea the kind of hell I went through when I got home and realized you were gone? Why did you leave?โMillie swallowed, the weight of his words settling over her like a storm. Still, she tried to keep her expression neutral as she responded.โI stated my reason in the

After several seconds of just standing in dumbfounded silence, Millie took a shaky breath, stepping back. โZeke, you can't just say something like that.โ Her voice was barely above a whisper, but her eyes held a mixture of caution and disbelief.โWhy not?โ he asked, closing the gap sheโd put between them. โIt's the truth.โMillie shook her head. โBecause youโre only saying this because you feel guilty.โ Her voice cracked as she forced herself to continue. โYou feel bad about what happened, Zeke, andโฆyou think this is what I want to hear.โโMillie,โ he began, his voice softening, โI wonโt lie. I did feel guilty. But not because of what we shared that night. I didnโt regret it, not the way I made it sound. The guilt wasโฆ it was about me. I felt ashamed because, after waking up, I realized how much I wanted that nightโhow much I wanted you. And you didn't deserve that, especially after I'd gone after another woman just a few hours before.โLooking away, Millie clenched her jaw. His word

The kiss was intense, filled with a hunger and conviction that left Millie breathless. His hands gripped her tightly, as though he was afraid sheโd slip away.When he finally pulled back, he held her face in his hands, his voice a low, fervent whisper. โDoes that kiss feel like it was born out of guilt?โBefore Millie could answer, his mouth found her neck, leaving a trail of kisses that sent shivers down her spine. His hand slid down her back, pulling her close. โDo my caresses feel like they come from guilt?โ He whispered, his breath warm against her skin. A moan spilled from her mouth.Zeke's fingers traced her sides. Grabbing her hand, he brought it between them and placed her palm over the unmistakable heat of his desire. Millie almost gasped because of how big and hard his dick felt in her hand through the fabric of his trousers.โAnd what about this?โ He questioned, his voice thick and raspy.Millie shrugged. โYou couldโve taken Viagra.โZeke froze, pulling back to stare at

โOh my God.โ Thalassa whispered, a stricken look on her face.Kris had just told them about Millieโs situation with Francis, and the shock on her face was mirrored by Luisaโs horrified gaze.After some seconds, she finally found her voice again. โI canโt believe Millie was going through something so horrible... and we never even noticed.โKris wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. โHey,โ he murmured, his tone gentle yet firm. โDonโt feel guilty. Millie hid it well. Sheโs been working with me for two years, and there were times I suspected something wasnโt right... but I could never have guessed it was like this. She didnโt want anyone to see.โโBut... she told Zeke, though, didnโt she?โ Luisaโs voice was barely above a whisper.Kris shook his head, the faintest sigh escaping him. โNot exactly. Zeke found out by accident. One day, he walked into the guest bathroom here, and Millie was in there, drying out the wet hem of her dress. Sheโd taken the dress off, and he saw bruises

Since Kris and Thalassa didn't inform Rita beforehand that they would be coming, the older woman was pleasantly surprised to see them.โKris! Thalassa! Oh, my dears!โ Rita exclaimed, practically pulling them both into a hug. She embraced Thalassa tightly, murmuring, โI missed you so much.โThalassa hugged her back, feeling warmth fill her heart. โMe too, Mum. Iโm sorry I didnโt come sooner. I should have.โโOh, hush with that,โ Rita said gently, brushing off her apology. โNow come, you two, sit with me.โ She ushered them to the cozy living room, where she settled onto the couch beside them.Just then, Bridget, the housemaid, appeared and greeted them with a fond smile, especially Thalassa. โWould you like anything, dear?โThalassa perked up. โActually, weโd love some of your delicious coffee, Bridget. I canโt even remember the last time I had it.โBridget chuckled, her eyes twinkling proudly. โItโs very good to see you again, dear Lassa. At least youโre not like the other one whoโฆโ Sh

Taking in the look of pure joy on Rita's face, Thalassa couldn't help but feel her throat tighten. โThere are more pictures.โ she said and flipped to the next. The huddled together, scrolling through picture after picture. Rita gushed over each photo of Alexander, her eyes glistening with pride and joy. "Heโs got your eyes, Kris. But his smile is all Lassa!" She exclaimed, her voice thick with emotion. Thalassa couldn't stop smiling. Over the last hour or so, the three of them slipped into stories of old memories, laughter bubbling up at the little things. Eventually, Rita asked, โWill you stay for dinner? It would make my evening to have both of you here a little longer.โ Kris smiled, but he shook his head gently. "Weโd love to, Rita, but we have somewhere we need to be." Rita raised an eyebrow, curiosity sparkling in her gaze. "Oh? And where might that be?" Kris chuckled, glancing at Thalassa with a mischievous grin. โSorry, but I can't tell you.

Thalassa stood frozen as Kris's words hung in the air. Her heart pounded so loudly she thought he might hear it as a mix of conflicting emotions threatened to knock the breath out of her.Kris knelt before her, the warmth in his eyes slowly turning to uncertainty as she remained silent. The longer she stood there, not speaking, the more his smile faltered. Why wasn't she answering?But he tried to reassure himself, pushing the anxiety down. She was just shocked and would respond as soon as the shock wore off. Finally, she responded, but it caught him completely off guard. โNo, Krisโฆ Iโm sorry,โ she said as she shook her head, her voice shaking.Kris blinked. Her words hit him like a punch to the chest. He looked at her, his lips slightly parted, trying to process what sheโd just said. He'd misheard, hadn't he?He managed a shaky laugh, โThatโs very funny, Lassa.โ He expected her to laugh back and admit that indeed, it'd been a joke, but she didn't laugh or smile. Instead, tears beg

Tessa stood frozen for several seconds before her hands flew to her mouth in shock. โOh my Godโฆโ she whispered. She didn't even have to ask if he was sure because she could tell he was. Guilt clawed at her chest. Alex had told her before how most of the women who came onto him were only after his wealth which was also part of the reason he'd always been so careful about dating. And now it seemed he had been proven right. Tessa felt like it was her fault because she was the one who had set Alex on that blind date with Hillary. โAlex,โ she whispered. โIโm so sorry. I had no idea she was that kind of woman.โ He shook his head. โItโs okay,โ he said, his voice calmer, his expression blank. โYou were just trying to look out for me. But donโt do it again, Tessa.โ There was no anger in his tone toward her, but she could sense the bitterness. Tessa swallowed hard, guilt still pressing down on her.

Tessa stirred, instantly feeling the warmth pressed against her back, a familiar arm draped over her waist. A smile crept onto her lips as she blinked sleepily.She didn't have to turn around to know Gendry was awake. His slow, steady breaths against the nape of her neck gave him away.A soft kiss landed on her bare shoulder."Happy anniversary, Mrs. Graham," he murmured, his voice husky from sleep.Tessa hummed, pressing back against him. "Happy anniversary, Mr. Graham."Gendry tightened his hold on her, rolling her onto her back so he could hover over her. The intense look in his dark eyes sent a familiar shiver down her spine."Last night wasn't enough," he whispered, running his fingers down her side. "I need more."Tessa let out a soft laugh. "Didn't we exhaust ourselves already?"His lips brushed against her neck. "Not even close."They made love again, slow and deep, as

Tessaโs heart thudded as her father stared at Gendry, his brows furrowing deeper by the second. "Of course I figured that out already." her father finally scoffed, shaking his head. "It's just... Tessa is two months pregnant. Two months. Iโ" He blinked rapidly as the realization dawned. "Unless..." Tessa took pity on him. She sighed and decided to just put him out of his confusion. "Dad," she said carefully, "there wasโฆ something between Gendry and me. When we were in Jamaica." Her father's frown only deepened. "I donโt understand. Since we left Jamaica, I havenโt seen you two together until yesterday. How could there be something between you whenโโ Beside him, Thalassa let out a small chuckle and placed a hand on his chest. "Leave them alone, Kris," she said, eyes twinkling with amusement. Kris turned to her, narrowing his eyes. "You donโt seem surprised." Thalassa shrugged. Krisโs jaw dropped. "Lassa. You knew?" She gave him an innocent look. "I had my suspicions." "And yo

All eyes turned towards Tessa and Gendry as they entered. In the living room were her parents, Alex, Rita, Maya, Jace, Aunt Luisa, Uncle Alden, and their youngest 17 years old daughter, Tessa's cousin, Emma.The moment Rita spotted Gendry, she gasped. "Gendry!" she squealed, jumping up from her seat and rushing toward him.Gendry barely had time to react before Rita crashed into him. He let out a soft chuckle, crouching slightly to meet her height as he ran a hand through her hair.โMissed me that much, huh?โ he teased, the corner of his lips lifting in amusement.Rita huffed and pulled back, immediately smoothing down her hair. โYou're ruining my hair,โ she grumbled, glaring up at him.โMy bad,โ Gendry said, his voice dripping with fake remorse. His amused gaze flicked toward the others, and laughter rippled through the room, even from Alex.Despite the lighthearted moment, Tessa caught the curious look in her fatherโs eyes. There were unspoken questions swimming in his gaze.โGood e

He looked straight into her eyes, his expression open and sure. โMarry me, Tessa.โShe felt like her heart had stopped. Her mind raced, but no coherent thoughts came. โYouโโ She swallowed, utterly flustered.Gendry chuckled at her shock, rolling onto his side so that he was partially on top of her. His fingers traced lazy circles on her arm, his touch soothing.โHear me out,โ he murmured. โI know it sounds crazy. Maybe it is. But Iโve never been so sure of anything in my life.โTessaโs breath hitched, her pulse drumming in her ears.โWe just made things official, like, yesterday,โ he admitted, his lips curving into a small, sheepish smile. โBut it doesnโt feel new, does it?

โDonโt worry. Youโre not the first couple to ask that, and you definitely wonโt be the last.โ The doctor said with a teasing note in her voice.She pulled out a disposable wipe and began wiping the gel from Tessa's belly. Tessa sighed in relief.โThat should be all for today,โ The doctor said warmly. โAs I said, for the first few months, it would be best to be checked monthly, so please when you're ready, let me know when to schedule the next appointment.โShe began rearranging the equipment. โPlease wait outside for a few minutes. Your ultrasound pictures and the recording will be ready soon to take with you..โ Gendry helped Tessa sit up and adjust her clothes before they stepped out. They waited in the reception area, their happiness and excitement tangible. Ten minutes later, a nurse handed over the envelope containing the picture and the USB.

His eyes swept over her in that way that always made her feel like the only woman in the world. "You're early," she teased, walking toward him. He beamed. โI'll always be early for you, princes.โ Her heart did a little flip at that, but she rolled her eyes to keep her cool. "Such a smooth talker." He grinned and reached for her, pulling her close and covering her lips with his. When they finally broke the kiss, he took her hand. She let him take it without hesitation, their fingers interlocking. It felt so right.As they walked through the office, she felt the weight of dozens of eyes on them. Conversations momentarily halted, only to resume in hushed murmurs once they passed. She knew exactly why. One, no one had ever seen her h
