Sneak a peek

Jake arrived at the same hotel early the next morning, still jet lagged from the long flight. He barely threw his bag inside his room before heading straight to Mercy’s door. Without hesitation, he started ringing the doorbell repeatedly, the noise echoing through the hallway but luckily nobody was there to notice since it was too early and it was weekend. Mercy cursed under her breath as she stumbled out of bed. Her hair was a wild mess, and she could barely open her eyes. She shuffled to the door, muttering, “Who the hell...?”The moment she cracked the door open, Jake burst inside, nearly knocking her over. “What the hell, Jake?” she groaned. Jake, unfazed, jumped onto her bed, making himself comfortable. “Alright, spill it. What’s going on? Why did you drag me to Paris?”Mercy rubbed her temples, trying to shake off her grogginess. “Ugh, you’re like a hyperactive puppy.” She sulked her way to the phone and dialed room service. “Hi, I need coffee. Lots of it. Stat. Thanks.”Jake s

My Kai

Lea stepped out of the art gallery to take the call. Her phone had been ringing nonstop and she was worried for a moment because the call was from back home. As she reached for her phone, it buzzed in her hand again. Seeing Kai's name on the screen, she immediately accepted the video call. "Mooommyyyyyy!”Kai wheezed on the other side as his excited face filled the screen, with his nanny, Anna, holding the phone for him. “Guess what? I made a tower with my blocks!Like the one in Paris. ”"Did you now?Like the Eiffel Tower you mean? ” Lea beamed. “That’s awesome, sweetie! Tell me all about it.Did you take a picture? Where is it? ”Kai launched into an animated recount of his playtime, his enthusiasm was infectious. Lea laughed, her heart warming with every word he babbled. Kai's speech was perfect but she loved it when he stammered a little. “You’re becoming quite the builder,” she said. “I’m so proud of you.”Anna chimed in with a smile, “He’s been talking about showing you all day.Sor

Relax

Lea's POV I lost my appetite as soon as Lisa and I settled at the bistro. I just skimmed through my meal of Tournedos Rossini, the tender beef fillet topped with foie gras and truffle sauce almost mocking my lack of hunger. It wasn't because of Lisa's remark. It happened whenever I was overthinking. I fidgeted with my food, pushing it around my plate. "Lea, I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you,” Lisa said quietly, her voice filled with genuine regret. I sighed, setting down my fork ,pushing back my plate. “It’s not your fault, Lisa. The fault lies in my past. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to shake it off. I will be heading off to the spa. You can finish your food and take some hours off. Pick me up before dinner. ” *** "Bienvenue," the receptionist greeted me with a gracious smile. "Welcome to Le Rêve Spa. How can we make your day perfect?" " I have a reservation for the VIP treatment," I said, "Of course, madame," the receptionist replied, her accent as smooth

Spa Day

Jake's POV I groaned inwardly as Mercy practically dragged me into the spa. “Come on, Jake, it’ll be fun,” she insisted. " I don't understand.Why do I owe you any obedience,little sister? Are you handing over your inheritance?" Mercy giggled and frowned at the same time. " I didn't know you were such a sucker for money. No doubt you are my mother's son. " Her enthusiasm was unwavering despite my reluctance. " And here I am trying to give you something that no money can buy. " After spending time at the art gallery, I thought we were done for the day, but no, my sister had other plans. “Mercy, this really isn’t my thing,” I protested, but she shot me a look that brokered no argument as we stood at the entrance.Resigned, I followed her inside, feeling out of place among the plush surroundings and soothing scents. The receptionist greeted us warmly, and soon enough, I was handed a robe and slippers. “See you later,” Mercy said with a wink before disappearing into her own treatmen

My Friend

Lea's POV Lisa dropped me at the most exquisite restro-bar in Paris, partially owned by my host, Phillippe, attached to their 7 star hotel in the same compound. The air was rich with the scent of gourmet dishes. Philippe certainly knew how to impress.I looked around the table at the faces of the influential men Philippe had gathered. Julien, Nicholas and a few more whose names I couldn't recall. Strangely and awkwardly,I was the only woman. " We meet again, beautiful lady!What a coincidence." Julien extended his hand after I finished greeting Philippe. " Yes, right after yesterday! " I chuckled at his comic attempt. We settled down, Julien taking the spot to my right while Nicholas sat on the left before Philippe could come any near. After a formal round of introduction and some light boasting about our companies and endeavors the food was served and we were about to dig in. "So, Lea," Julien leaned in, "how do you juggle all your ventures and still look this stunning? There'

My Girl

Jake's POV I walked into the restro-bar Mercy and Percy dragged me to. I had no idea Percy was in town as well but nevertheless it was fun. It took us time to overcome our awkwardness because of our family situation but it eventually worked out and we were on good terms if not best of friends. But the two of them abandoned me at the gate, excusing themselves to go to the washroom.Botj of them at the same time. Which was obviously childish and absurd.I didn't pay much notice because this entire trip was based on Mercy's childish whimp. Given that she was my biological younger sister and I was also quite fond of her, I was just playing along in her game of stupidity. As soon as I entered their reserved section,my brain froze. I was literally blown off. It wasn’t the decor or the luxury that caught my attention. It was her. Lea. My Lea in flesh and blood. Right in front of me. She was in Paris after all. She looked more radiant than ever, surrounded by those men. Men I didn't k

Chasing her

Jake's POV I watched Lea excuse herself and start to leave. Her exit was graceful and I watched her move, mesmerized as she nodded and waved at the rest of them goodbye. The moment she walked out, I excused myself hastily, mumbling something incoherent about needing some air. Philippe and his band of pests barely noticed as I slipped away, their focus possibly on their next prey. I sprinted after her, my heart pounding, my mind racing. When I reached the street, I spotted her heading towards a sleek, black car parked just down the road. "Lea!" I called out, my voice breaking with desperation.She didn't turn around, didn't even flinch. She just kept walking, her pace quickening as if she knew I was right behind her. "Lea, wait!" I shouted again, breaking into a run.Just as she reached her car and fumbled for her keys, I caught up with her. Grabbing her arm, I spun her around to face me. Her eyes were wide with a mixture of shock and anger. "Jake, what the hell are you doing?"

My love

Jake's POVThere was strange hesitation in her eyes that I didn't understand. I didn't want to. I seized the moment. Without thinking, I pulled Lea closer and kissed her, pouring all my desperation,my love, and my regret into that kiss. Lea resisted at first, her body tense, but then she melted against me, her hands clutching my shirt as if anchoring herself. "Jake," she whispered trying to breathe between the kiss, "This won't solve anything." "I know," I murmured, as my lips trailing down her neck. "But I need you, Lea. I need you so much.But if you want you can stop me. But I beg you not to. " Her response was a soft moan, her hands tangling in my hair. "I've missed you too. Too much to be exact," she finally admitted, her breath hitching as my hands roamed her body. "But it's so complicated." "We'll figure it out," I promised.And I wanted to assure her that I meant it. Every word. "Together."The car windows fogged up as our kisses grew more urgent, our need for each other ov

My Baby

Jake's POV "Jake," she murmured as she sat up, leaning against my chest but looking straight into my eyes. "Hmm?" I replied, my fingers tracing lazy patterns on her back. "There's something I need to show you. Can you please give me my phone back? " She asked looking back at the dashboard. I frowned, sitting up as well. "What is it?" "Just trust me," she said with a small smile. Once she switched on her phone, she scrolled through the gallery and handed it to me, displaying a picture of a little boy. It was the most beautiful baby thatI had ever seen, perfect in every way. My breath caught in my throat. "Who's this?" I asked, my voice thick with emotion as I took in the image of the child. I knew it right away that it was Lea'skid but I didn't want to admit. I was jealous. A strange poison was corrupting the calm that had descended on me, moments ago. His eyes were bright, his smile infectious."His name is Kai," she said softly. "He's three years old." I almost choked wi

Mad rush

All hell broke loose when Anna's words sank in. "No, no, no!" Lea cried, her voice breaking as she clutched the phone to her chest. "He can't be missing! Not my Kai!Where the hell did you lose him? " "He was in the backyard playing, and then we couldn't find him. We've been looking everywhere." Lea's face went pale as soon as Anna finished talking, her grip on the phone tightening. "Anna, find him. At any cost. We’re on our way." She said, about to hang up. Jake stood frozen, his face ashen. " How could you let this happen?" he demanded coming close to the screen, his voice trembling with fury and fear. "How did you lose him?" Anna looked equally distraught but tried to calm everyone down. "I'm so sorry! Maybe he's just playing hide and seek. He loves that game!" "Are you kidding me?" Lea snapped, her eyes blazing. "This is not a game! Call the police right now! We need to find him!" Lea’s fingers flew across her phone screen as she navigated through the security cameras in
