Semua Bab The Affair Baby : Bab 1 - Bab 10

I sat and watched as Mr Tucker’s assistants, all dressed in black suits, help the old man away, back to his suite somewhere in the mansion.“Are you OK?” My mother turned to me.“Yes, mom.” I replied, just as a phone began to ring loudly. It was Ophelis’s. She walked away from the table to the far side of the room, her heels clicking away.“She could not even bother to take her shoes off before coming in. Why will grandfather not hate her? This is all her fault.” I heard one of the Tucker grandchildren say to her cousin. Both women glanced at me.I looked away quickly to find Ophelia watching me from where she was talking on the phone. I could only see her lips moving, but she was too far to hear anything she was saying.“Ophelia.” Her father shouted over the phone, startling her.“Yes father.” Ophelia said in exasperation, as she looked at the pale, brown-haired girl that was turning her life upside down. It was difficult to believe Blaine had slept with this woman. She was pret

“Are you OK, honey.” Kan smiled down at me softly, and lightly pecked my brow.“Ohiii.” The minister's wife brought her purse up to cover her face as she blushed. “Don’t they remind you of when we just got married?”The minister looked uncomfortable as he smiled and nodded.“Pay him no mind. I like that you both are expressive, just like western couples. I think we are way too uptight down here.” She smiled at me.I bowed politely, and smiled.“There should be no shame in love.” Kan said in our local language, and the other couple standing next to us nodded, along with the minister and his wife.I smiled again, and said nothing. “It’s nice for you to finally reveal your wife to the public.” The short stocky man said. “On Mõshon’s 52nd anniversary at that,”Kan and I bowed politely to the man. I ignored the look he had been shooting me. President secretary or not, we would have problems if he did not keep his hands to himself before this party was over.“And she is so beautiful.”I

“I’ll kill you.” Ophelia screamed.“You will never see your mother again,” Ariel shrugged. Then she frowned, her face getting dark. “Let my father go within the hour, or I don’t trust what I will do to your mother.”Ophelia quickly took her phone out, and hastily dialed a number. “Let him go.”Then she turned to Ariel. “You will pay for this.”Ariel was smiling again.She closed the gap between her and Ophelia, and whispered in her face.“When I am done with you, you will beg for death.”Then she stepped back.She bowed mockingly, and began to walk away.Ophelia stared after her, her whole body shaking with rage.She should have killed this damned woman that day. Make her drink a more potent poison or just strangle her.Her phone started vibrating in her hand, startling her.“Father.” She said fearfully into her phone.“You wench.” He screamed over the phone. “Come here. Now!”She stood, shaking at the realization that her father had probably noticed her mother had gone missing.After

“Oliver!” I screamed, running and falling beside him on my knees. But Kan was faster. He scooped him up, turned him face down and began to firmly blow his back.I was staring at the scene wide-eyed, paralysed with shock, as my son continued to make those horrible sounds.“Give him to me.” I tried to take him away from Kan.“Stop!” Kan yelled, without looking at me. My initial scream had drawn our whole household of domestic staff out. They stood nervously, watching from a respectful distance.It was all taking too long. The only part of my son I could see as Kan tried to get whatever was stuck in his lungs out, was the exposed flesh on his neck, and it was beginning to turn purple. My vision went blurry, and I felt tight pressure on my bladder as I watched in horror.Then Oliver coughed, and something flew out of his mouth.But that was it. He just lay there, limp.I screamed, finally yanking him out of Kan’s hands. I ran blindly for the door, not sure where I was headed still

Blaine looked at me in the near darkness. He looked surprised and confused.“Did something happen? Are you Ok?” I could not help asking.“What is it to you?” He fired.I felt my back stiffen, and all my earlier sympathy evaporated.“Go to hell.” I said, and began to walk away. I did not have the time or patience for any of this.Blaine cut in, and barred my way.“Step aside.” I said angrily. In the state I was in, no one'd better blame me if I hurt this man.“What are you doing at a children’s hospital, Ariel?” He asked, staring at me with furrowed brows and flaming eyes.“In your words. What is it to you, Detective Blaine.” I mocked.“This is the worst time to push your limits, Ariel.” He said angrily.“What will you do?” I asked in the most insolent voice I could produce. Mocking this arrogant man was a sport I have begun to enjoy..He looked like a too-ripe fruit, threatening to burst in his fury.“You will be shocked at how badly I can hurt you if you keep goading me.” He said, p
