CHAPTER 31 Give up or Fight

Feeling frustrated with his campaign to win Eliza’s hand, Matan went straight to the Al Fahezi official residence in Al Reef. He escorted Eliza back to her accommodation and when he tried to hold her hand, she managed to avoid the contact which annoyed him. He immediately took his leave as soon as she entered the apartment for fear that he would do something irrevocable. He respected her enough for what he had in mind. True, it might strengthen his bid to claim her as his wife, but he might earn her hatred and resentment later. That is why he is currently feeling at odds with the world. If Ali would see him now, he would probably laugh his arse out. When Ali decided to marry for honor instead of love not so long ago, Matan scoffed and chided him for his choice. He told him so arrogantly that he would only marry for love and look where it got him. He couldn’t even express his feelings for one stubborn woman who was bent on distancing herself from him believing that she isn’t w

CHAPTER 32 Trust in My Love

After that amazing day out with Matan, Eliza remembered her laundry. She was so caught up in the novelty of spending a day with her employer’s adopted son that she forgot about her chores. Not even his abrupt leaving of her in her accommodation could dampen her mood. She also remembered the shopping bag that Matan handed her. When she looked inside, she nearly jumped with joy. Inside were the stuffed toy she was admiring at Ikea and a set of square dinnerware. She grinned while also recalling Matan’s expression at the corniche. So, this is what it felt to be desired or wanted by someone if what Matan was saying is true. It might be true because why else would he keep stealing kisses, not that she didn’t enjoy them. She was so into her daydreaming that she mistakenly switched the water on her finished laundry. A splash of water on her hands brought her back to reality. Eliza gasped aloud. “Oh my! What a silly girl you are, Eliza.” She admonished herself. After sorting out her

CHAPTER 33 Our Beginning

Since his proposal two weeks ago, Matan still couldn’t believe that Eliza said yes. He thought he’d be doing more pleading and groveling, but it was a relief that she agreed. He couldn’t keep his eyes from straying over to her during Theo and Meera’s wedding, no matter that Ali kept ribbing him for a lovesick fool. He couldn’t deny it. After years of being in relationship with women who used him to further their selfish ambitions, Eliza was the only one who thwarted him at every opportunity. True, he worked hard for her affections, but it was worth it. He could still see wariness in her eyes, but he couldn’t blame her after hearing what she had gone through. Hopefully with time, she could come to trust him fully with her heart. He couldn’t wait for their own wedding, but he had to abide by her wishes and his biological father too. Eliza wanted at least one of her brothers to be present along with the Gonzales family, especially Eliza’s godparent, Claudia. For Eliza, she fe

EPILOGUE

It is their wedding night, Eliza couldn’t believe it really happened. Two weeks ago, Matan thoroughly seduced her in his apartment. She tried to protest but in the end, Matan's carnal expertise won. She was a novice to his expert touches and she just succumbed to the pleasures of the flesh he introduced her to. He didn’t take precautions as he said it was his insurance. At first Eliza took offense thinking he was just trying to take advantage but when he professed his love again after their passionate lovemaking, Eliza was lost. Her hand fluttered automatically to her tummy. Is it possible that they have created a life in her womb? It was in that position that Matan caught her in as he entered their hotel bedroom. His apartment could have been better but for what he has in mind for his bride, his place won’t just do. Having a taste of her passion during the unplanned seduction in his place, his desires knew no bounds. Now he knows Eliza can match him even in that sphere. She
