Once again, Aoife found herself broken. But this time, she acted more like a protective mother than a broken woman in love. The only thing she could think of was her son. The fear surrounded her heart so deeply that she couldn’t think of any other reason for Xander to remind him about their son. She came back to her room with a frozen mind. She let her guard down with a man who could crush her soul once again. She packed her bags and left the place with Brandon. Within one hour, she was out of the hotel, as it seemed like she was running from Xander. Brandon asked her about her instant decision, but she was continually crying with no words. Concerned, Alex hugged her mom; he didn’t know why his mom was acting like this. With a troubled mind and restless heart, they reached home. Jing took Alex. Brandon held Aoife’s hand and tried to make her calm down. “Will you please tell me what happened? I am worried about you.” She hugged him. “I want to marry as fast as we can. Please,” Br

Aoife slept on his shoulder as she found her comfort. The following morning, she fluttered her eyes as her neck became sore. She rubbed her back and neck to relax her muscles. “Are you ok?” Xander whispered, relaxing his shoulder. She winked her heavy eyes and rubbed her temple. “Yes, how is Alex?” she whispered. “He is under observation.” He made circles on Aoife’s back. She went to the restroom to freshen- up; splashed some water on her face. While looking at herself in the mirror, she felt her eyes were swollen. Her son was fighting for his life, and the man outside tried his best to help. She wished well, looking deep into her illusions. She took a deep breath and prepared herself for the coming news. She came and sat on the chair, looking at other patients and people roaming in the hallway. An old couple holding hands, supporting each other at this stage of life; what more do you want in your life than a happy family and a loving partner? Gabriel called her name. She d

She hissed as the cold sand touched her back. The next wave returned and gave them another icy shiver, but her body reacted when he touched her lower lip with his. He kissed her passionately under the full-moon light at the beach. Her lower lip trembled with cold. “I am... feel..ing.. cold... Xan..” She shivers. He smiled at looked at her. “You need a hot shower.” He raised a brow with naughtiness hooded through his lashes. “Why are you looking at me like that?” She jerked her head to read him. “Because I am going to give you that shower.” Before Aoife could react, he pulled her on his shoulder. “But why are you taking me like this? I can walk.” Aoife said while resisting his shoulder. He yanked on her ass, and she hissed. “Xander put me down.” She said again. “I don’t trust you. You will run.” He tilted his neck and softly bit on her ass. “Ahhh.... stop biting me.” she started punching his back. “Shut up. I forgot to eat my dessert.” He brought her into the home. “Don’t s

They were sleeping under the open sky when the first drop of rain struck Xander’s face. It was a cloudy morning.The thunderstorm shot into the sky and woke him up.“Aoife, wake up.” He whispered.Suddenly, Alex started crying because of the thunderstorm.Aoife woke up, and Xander ran towards Alex’s room.“Hey, champ. Don’t be scared. I am here.” Alex snuggled in his chest. Aoife was waiting for him to turn as she hugged him too.“What happened?” Xander chuckled.“I am scared too.” She whispered.He took them inside the room, and they lay down together.“I never liked thunderstorms. The rain makes me feel alone and depressed.” She whispered.“And whenever it rains, it reminds me of you.” He answered while pecking a kiss on her forehead.“Me?” she lifted her head. He smirked.“I can’t tell you in front of Alex. I will show you.” He winked, and he pressed her butt cheeks.“You dirty mind.” She bit him on his chin.“Mommy, I am hungry,” Alex whined, looking at his parents, who were busy

The next day, they reached Austin. It was a quick journey via a fight. Aoife seems excited about meeting her old friend. “How do you know about Neeral?” Aoife asked while buckling Alex’s seatbelt.“Oh my god, Aoife. You are so impatient. You asked me this question like ten times since yesterday.” Xander rolled his eyes. Aoife scowled, which made Xander chuckle. He walked towards her and cupped her face.“Calm down. You will know everything in no time.” He pecked her nose.Her anger flew, and a smile played on her lips. “That’s better,” she answered.“I am spoiling you,” Xander raised a brow at her.“It’s not spoiling; it loves me. And I deserve it, didn’t I?” Aoife crossed her arms over her chest. He pulled her into a tight hug.“All you deserve is my hardness to fill you in, and I want to bite every inch of this body,” he smoked while squeezing her butt cheeks. Her cheeks turned crimson red. She was about to peck his lips when a voice interrupted.“Mommy... Daddy, let’s go.” Xander b
