    Chapter 1 - Once you pop you can`t stop


    Raina Williams


    ?


    That blinding moment when you believe in love. The moment you fall in love you know he is the one


    you want to spend the rest of your life with because he whispers sweet nothings in your ear. He tells


    you the right things you want to hear, showers you withpliments and gifts. Your heart takes a leap


    of faith saying you know what maybe he is the one I have been waiting for my whole life.


    Sadly.


    That was me six years ago, I had just finished myst year of college and I was working on my


    internship at a international Law firm owned by the Le roux family originally from Nethends. I was


    twenty and ready for the beginning of my career as a criminal Lawyer...my passion. Mr. Richard Le


    Roux was my boss, very easy to work with, although he was in his early fifties he had a lot of


    experience and was very enthusiastic about everything to do withw. Everything was going smoothly


    at my internship for five months until the horror started, yes the horror itself. Angelo Le roux the so


    called heir to the multi-millionpany had just returned from London to summon his father''s request.


    That was initially the death of me, Angelo was a well know bachelor in Los Angeles by vogue and


    various magazines only twenty four at the time, with jet ck hair, tanned skin, beautiful forest green


    eyes that were irrisistable... I fell fall him. I know what you are thinking how clich?? right?


    When we had meetings with the board including his father, Richard...he would hold his gaze on me the


    entire time until it got to a point where he would show up in my office and enjoy each other??s kisses


    for a while well at that moment I wasn''t thinking and I loved the danger and excitement of almost


    getting caught each and every time until I finally gave in and he broke my virginity from there it??s true


    what they say Once you pop you can??t stop.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Mr. Richard Le roux was quite fond of me, and he would invite me to family brunches and venues


    because he said he saw his young self in me so I became a family friend and that was effective for


    Angelo and I as we would fuck in the mansion, my office, at his penthouse, in his office, boardroom,


    conference room well everywhere. It was all fun and games until I got pregnant...


    with twins.

    Chapter 2 - We always use protection.


    Raina Williams.


    I was pregnant with twins, well why was I surprised it was something that was normal in the Le roux


    family. Angelo himself had a twin sister Alma Le roux, a very nice outgoing woman she became a good


    friend as time went by.


    *shback*


    "Angelo I can''t , not today." I panted as Angelo unbuttoned my blouse while kissing my neck, it felt so


    good but I needed to get something off my chest first...it had been two months already and I couldn''t


    hide it anymore. The morning sickness wasn''t taking it easy on me especially during office hours and


    minor mood swings. My colleagues were stating to question what was going on.


    "Come on, Raina." He continued kissing me all along, I avoided him telling him things like it was that


    time of the month or any excuse possible but knowing Angelo he never backed down, he would still


    insist-


    knowing due to our lust, we had fucked while on my period multiple times mostly in their shower... that''s


    how intimate we were, like a married couple.


    "Angelo, I''m pregnant." I blurted out and he immediately stopped and my heart hammered against my


    chest for his reaction. He walked back and forth around my office frustrated he racked through his


    ck hair and I started crying while buttoning my blouse. Damn these hormones.

    "We always use protection !!" He said more as a way of convincing himself, Yes we did and I was


    always on the pill. Somehow I didn''t want to admit that there where times I had forgotten to take them. I


    always pressured him to use a condom but he always insisted, he was sleeping with anyone else and I


    could trust him. Also because he wanted to feel me.


    "Yes, but we didn''t have them so you said you would pull out." I sobbed huping on my words.


    "How long are you?" He strayed from the conversation.


    " 6 weeks." I said stropping.


    "You can remove it." He said coldly and I gasped.


    "I can''t." I said sniveling.


    "Raina, listen to me... You will remove that thing because I don''t want it." I cried even more standing in


    my corner and he was sublime about the whole situation.


    "Don''t worry I will pay for it." He said in a low voice.


    "But Angelo, I love you and we could be together and we won''t have to abort our baby." I sobbed my


    eyes bing red.


    "Raina, listen it''s not Ours that''s your responsibility and secondly I''m sorry I can''t return those


    feelings...we fucked that''s all there was to it." He spat coldly and my heart broke it a million pieces


    making me cry even more when he left banging my office door.


    *End of shback*


    As expected Angelo didn''t want the baby, so I asked Mr. Richard for a leave from work...concerned he


    asked what was wrong but I lied through my teeth Angelo was already mad as it is but one thing I knew


    was I wasn''t going to kill my babies, so I left Los Angeles and went back to Ohio to be with my family. I


    was broken and all I wanted was to be with my family. I surly exined to my parents the whole ideal,


    my father Marco Williams a pastor in our small town was disappointed but being raised as a preachers


    kid, I knew abortion was not an option. My parents promised to help me whenever I needed help. For


    the rest of the nine months, I went out every Sunday for my father''s church service as expected but the


    other days I would be curled up in bed crying my eyes out while watching Love Rosie over and over


    again with a bucket of ice cream. I craved chocte and vani ice cream more than anything. Then I


    thought you know what maybe I can do this without him. I will take care of my twins, love them more


    than anything, life would continue. I was already in love with my babies, from the first ultra sound. The


    first time they kicked....


    I couldn''t help but think you should have been here.


    In those nine months Angelo only contacted me once to ask if I removed it, his exact words and I


    replied with yes and with that I never heard from him again. I was so easy to forget.


    Twenty second of September, twenty eleven, my two beautiful Angels were born. The most beautiful


    beings, on this living earth. My mom, Sarah Williams was there with me in the delivery room while I


    almost broke her knuckles. My father was outside praying in the hospital corridors with my little brother


    Karl Williams ying video games.


    My second day in hospital, I decided to name them Ashley and Ashton suddenly the person I thought I


    would never see again walked in and my heart froze. How did he know ? I was shocked more than


    relieved, he didn''t have the right. He had abandoned me. A part of me jumped with joy that he would


    apologise, kiss me, propose to me then we could the happy family I always thought about ever since I


    got pregnant.


    "Raina, I called him we both know you can''t do this alone." My mom wheedled.


    "Mom, you know he doesn''t want them." I said my eyes bing blurry.


    "Raina, I''m sorry." He said standing on the side of my hospital bed then Richard and his wife Martha Le


    roux walked in with flowers and teddy bears.


    "Oh my Raina they are so cute." Alma, Angelo''s twin sister squirmed looking the twins who were


    peacefully asleep.


    "Raina thank you for not having an abortion, you know you are like a daughter to Martha and i. Why


    didn''t you tell us?" Richard genuinely said.


    After that everything was settled Angelo said he would take responsibility, we would be going back to


    Los Angeles. If it wasn''t for my parent''s calling Angelo, things would be a lotplicated. I forgave


    Angelo but even in my pain of after giving birth he still reminded me that there absolutely nothing


    between us... and that hurt because I loved him.


    After a year, I went back to the gym, back to work, moved out of Angelo''s ce into my own modern


    apartment with four bedrooms, huge kitchen, lounge, two bathrooms and a balcony with the most


    beautiful view. I basically got my life back on track and no one would even think I gave birth a year ago


    because my body was on fleek.


    I went back to taking clients as a criminalwyer, it was hard being a full time mom to twins and


    working on my cases of cause Angelo would help out and his parents too. I was grateful.

    Chapter 3 - I know you`re inlo-


    Present time.


    "Mommy, Ashton removed the powerpuff girls." Ashley snuffles into my office with her blonde hair up to


    her shoulders and blue eyes staring sadly at my own brown eyes.


    "Baby, go tell him to put it back okay?" I smile and she nods going back to the lounge as I turn back to


    myp top trying to crack this case of my client Derrick Collins charged with homicide.


    "Mom, Ashley removed teen titans." Ashton stormed into my office for five year olds, these dumplings


    are quite voluble. His blonde quiff messier than ever and his green eyes looking at mine for attention.


    "Anyways its time for bed... so no one will be watching any cartoons." I stand up leading both of their


    grumpy faces to their rooms. Once they are both asleep, I head back to my office. The past four years


    haven''t been easy but Angelo and I managed to give our babies whatever they needed and they


    absolutely understand that mommy and daddy are not together so every weekend they spend time with


    their father then I have them for a full week well only in the evening because they go to kindergarten


    through out the day otherwise everything is perfect.


    not perfect.


    perfect would be you and Angelo raising your kids as a family. - my subconscious mocked me.


    Deciding that it iste and I? should get some sleep, I head to my bedroom suddenly Angelo calls and


    I''m forced to answer.


    Forced to answer because if it were up to me I would ignore but it might be important.


    "Hey..." I vaguely greet through the receiver..


    "Hey Raina, just wanted to remind you that tomorrow I will be taking the twins out." He says


    enthusiastically, he loves the twins, you could tell from a mile away.


    "Uhm okay." I say with a yawn, its midnight I need to sleep.


    "They will be meeting my girl friend, Yaya." He gabbles.


    "What ?!?" I say vociferously.


    "She isn''t recing you Raina, you will always be their mother." I could literally picture him rolling his


    beautiful green eyes, clenching his jaw while saying this.


    shut up.


    "I can''t believe you right now." I frown at the thought of them ying happy family with this Yaya.


    "I''m sorry but at least now you know."


    He isn''t sorry.


    "Wow like that actually makes things any better." I say sarcastically.


    "It does because I don''t want you to get any hopes up." He says confidently. A part of me weeps


    because I know it''s true. No matter how many girls I see Angelo with, there is always that hope that it''s


    temporary and one day we will be a family.


    hopeless romantic.


    "What do you mean ?" I frown.


    "I know you are inlo-" I cut him off.


    "Actually I''m happy for you Angelo at least you will stop being a male little whore sticking that dick


    anyone that fits and get settled down." I gush out before hanging up. I quickly receive a text.


    you forget you used to amodate this dick. - Angelo


    what an Asshole.


    I think to myself before closing my eyes. Hopefully my babies don''t get introduced to a strumpet


    (prostitute). Yaya is a stupid name.


    ***


    Woke up early and got ready for work wearing my ck pencil skirt and white blouse tucked in, as well


    as my ck heels then added light make up and tying my hair into a bun, I was ready to run the day.


    "Morning Miss Raina." Maya greeted me in the most sincere way.


    "Morning Maya." I smiled walking into the kitchen sitting on the kitchen ind stools. Maya is in herte


    forties, she asionally takes care of the twins when I''m busy or when Angelo is busy. She is very nice


    and friendly and her advises are always the best.


    "So Angelo will be picking up the twinster on..." I frown.


    "Oh, Raina why do you seem unhappy ?" She says wiping the ind with a white cloth, she doesn''t


    have to but she just loves tiding up. She is like my second mother here in Los Angeles.


    "He is going to introducing them to his girlfriend." I muttered.


    "That''s wonderful is it not ? " she gushed.


    "I guess." I shrugged more Ike rolled my eyes.


    "You always wanted him to stop being a y boy so he could be a good example to his kids." She


    convinced.


    "Yes but now that its finally happening I don''t know how to feel about it."


    That should be me, this is so sad.


    "I understand but just be happy he is changing for them." She assured me with a smile.


    "Well you are right, thank you Maya." I hugged her. "Let me get going, Derrick Collins is not going to be


    happy about the news I have for him." I stood up grabbing myptop bag and car keys from the


    counter.


    "He deserves what ever news that areing for him, Raina don''t forget he is a murderer." Maya spat.


    "Everyone is innocent till proven guilty." I flounced out of the kitchen heading out before Maya


    continues arguing.

    "Bye Maya." I yelled as I went inside the elevator that went down to the basement.


    Maybe Maya is right, Angelo has been wild and unsettled...the media knows him for all the wrong


    things but at least he is making the effort to change maybe just maybe this woman is exactly what he


    needs to be a better person.


    You couldn''t do that.


    Maybe I wasn''t the person for him, my feelings never faded he was my first love and I don''t think its


    easy to try and move on from that even though he reminds me all the time that there will never be a us.


    I always assumed the twins would bring us together but not really.


    Its quite sad, the things we do for love.

    "Unfortunately Mr. Collins I have bad news and good news !" I rified to the man who was sat across


    me in a prison visiting room.


    "Let''s hear it." He said in a grumpy voice, I couldn''t me him though if I was in jail for two weeks and


    mywyeres to visit me with nothing but bad news I would fire them on the spot.


    "Our appeal for bail was denied." I said not proud of it at all.


    "What ??!? So how long am I going to stay here for a crime I didn''tmit. This is bullshit, you are not


    doing your job dammit !" He raised his voice making the other visitors and prisoners stare at us


    including the guards. I hate this ce it gives me the chills it''s so dried out the only colours that


    brighten the ce up are the orange uniforms for the prisoners as for the guards they are so


    intimidating.


    "A crime you didn''tmit, that''s riching from you." I said sarcastically earning a cold re. "If you


    didn''t hit and run an innocent young man then you wouldn''t be here... now would you Mr. Collins ?"


    "You are not paid to judge me missy !" He retorted and I nodded.


    "Anyways since you were not granted bail this means our trial date will be moved closer unlike if you


    had received bail." I said calmly.


    "That doesn''t make it any better." He grumbled.


    "I know but please Mr. Collins just hang in there." I added.


    "Hang in there ?" He gave me a sardonicugh. "I will be hanging on a rope soon enough straight to


    hell."


    "Trust me, i will get you out of here." Iid my hand on top of his.


    "No physical contact with inmates." The guard shouted and I jumped in my seat clearly caught off


    guard.


    "I feel like an animal." He sighed rubbing his grey and ck hair. Mr. Collins was a well know business


    man in Los Angeles that was until hemitted this gruel some crime. He is my client and I will do


    whatever just can to get him out if this mess.


    One night he was drunk and he identally hit and run on a man named Eric Winters... and now he


    might be charged with homicide if I don''t work harder on this case. This was a television sensation as


    he was well known everyone used him of murder but as awyer I don''t judge I just do whatever it


    is to defend my client.


    "Don''t worry...we will go through this together as long as we can prove that you were not in your right


    mind and that Eric was also drunk he just crossed the street without thinking." I assured him with


    scenarios I had been working on.


    "Please Raina call me Derrick and I''m really sorry about the outburst."


    "Its okay Derrick besides I asked a sample of DNA from Eric''s body so we can see if there was any


    sign of drugs or alcohol."


    "Okay." He mumbled.


    "Derrick be positive, I will not let you die in this rotten Hades you will be a free man." I genuinely said.


    "Thank you Raina." He sighed.


    "That''s what I''m here for right." I chuckled a bit and he did as well.


    "Well let me get going..." I said.


    "Raina you should meet my son, Grayson...just assure him that everything will be okay and you know


    he really needs a friend at this moment." He shrugged.


    "Erm sure I can do that but I didn''t know you had a son." I nced at him suspiciously.


    "I do, from my previous marriage."


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Oh alright, I will inform you of any changes Derrick, stay well if you are mistreated let me know I will


    assign you for a transfer as soon as possible."


    "Its okay Raina, now get out of here so you can work on getting this old geyser out of here." He


    chuckled standing up as the guard handcuffed him my heart bleed.


    "You are only fifty four, what are you saying." Iughed, he replied but I didn''t quite get what he said as


    he was being taken away. My only thoughts were I should really work hard and get Derrick out of here.


    As I arrived at my apartment the twins weren''t there but Angelo would bring them back in about an hour


    before eight then we can discuss things. I changed intofortable clothes sweatpants and a T-shirt


    while I searched for any other clues on Derrick''s homicide case. Just in time there was a knock on the


    door, I jumped knowing it was Angelo. I remained stoical as I saw Angelo arrive with his mistress.


    I was hoping to catch him alone.


    "Uhm hi." I greeted her and she smiled back. She was blonde and looked like a model. She had Kylie


    Jenner lips, they didn''t look natural at all. The way she pursed her lips made me want to gag, i wasn''t a


    fan of fake eyshes but she certainly was. Her eyebrows were a little way outdone for my own liking


    and the way Angelo looked at her like she is the only thing that mattered made me want to sulk or send


    her far far away from here if I could. My face always talked, even if my mouth had not said anything. My


    face described exactly how I was feeling about a person.


    I wasn''t sorry about that, at least till now.


    "Raina, this is Yasmine. Yaya this is Raina." Angelo introduced us.


    "Nice to finally meet you." She hugged me out of the blue then giggled. "I??m such a hugger, I''m sorry."


    she said quickly making Angelo give me the ''wow look at her, she is adorable isn??t she ?'' look. "Your


    kids are so beautiful now I see where they get it from." She gushed.


    Okay so she is nice, a bit sweet..


    I can''t hate her.


    Angelo pretended to be hurt by thement then she kissed his cheek and whispered something in


    his ear that made him lick his lips.


    Eew.


    "Oh pleasee in." I snarled and honestly Angelo has never treated me like that ever.


    He did give you loads of kisses, while thrusting into you. - my inner voice mocked.


    Because you were a girl he fucked in office for fun. My conscience added.


    "Can I get you anything ?" I asked.


    "Uhm no, I just came to introduce you to Yaya, we actually have a reservation waiting." Angelo smirked


    at his Yaya.


    "Oh okay and the twins ?" I said concerned.


    "They are at my parents house, I will pick them up tomorrow." He said before leaving me there


    stupefied so he really just came to unt his girlfriend in my face.


    Ouch.


    "Well enjoy your dinner." I muttered more to myself closing the door shut and sliding down to my knees.


    I didn''t want to feel sad but I couldn''t help it.

    "My babies, I missed you already..." I hugged the energetic twins as they both ran in my arms. They


    make everything worth it, even having to deal with their father and his bullshit, they make it all worth it.


    After the long hug, I stood up straight to acknowledge the man standing in front of me, looking


    devilishly handsome just like the first time we met, its like he gets younger by the day.


    "Maya already prepared your breakfast so go say hi to aunty Maya." I said to Ashton and Ashley and at


    the sound of Maya they scurried off, they loved her a lot sometimes I''d even became jealous but I love


    Maya too she is truly amazing.


    "Morning Raina." Angelo greeted and I couldn''t help but feel affected by the way he talks to me, it


    sends thrills all over my body, I hate it...


    "Morning..." I replied at the awkward scene which I did not want to endure any longer.


    "So how was your dinner ?" I decided to ask sincerely. If she makes him happy then why should I be


    step mother in this Cindere story.


    Because you love him.


    No I don''t.


    Yes you do.


    Shut up, I''m getting over him. I debated with my mocking conscience.


    "It was wonderful, thanks for asking." He paused ying with his car keys.


    "My mom said you should give her a call." He cleared his throat.


    Angelo''s mother was always so nice to me, she is like a second mother honestly.


    "I will." I smiled. Things have just been awkward between us since that phone call or rather since he


    got a girl friend.


    "Well let me get going." He concluded heading out the door.


    "Bye." I muttered when the door closed.


    ***


    The day was spent with myself and my two angels watching movies well rather cartoons andzily


    talking about most of their encounters of the week.


    "So what did you do at granny''s house ?" I genuinely asked.


    "We baked cookies but Ashton didn''t bake, he only wanted to eat." Ashley sticked out her tongue at


    Ashton who simply shrugged before saying "Baking is for girls."


    "But its fun." I tried reasoning.


    "Sometimes..." Ashton deadpanned while ying video games which he practically yed everyday


    any chance he got but that would have to change because they would be starting first grade soon.


    Sometimes I saw more of Angelo in Ashton than myself, the way is realistic about everything and never


    fails to act mature like when Ashton told Ashley that Santa doesn''t exist...I mean how does a five year


    olde to that conclusion honestly I had a feeling Angelo was behind it maybe he told my baby all


    that crushing his imagination almost immediately.


    Well Ashley is like me, she has a hard time making friends unlike Ashton and she is so observant about


    other people''s feelings like when she asked me if I loved her daddy, I lied and said no but they both


    know that this is how things will always be between mommy and daddy. Leaving twins to do whatever


    they were upied with I decided to call Angelo''s mother.


    "Hi Martha." She always interjected that I call her Martha than Mrs. Le roux.


    "Oh goodness is this Raina." She said in awe.


    "Yes, I was just checking up on you." I smiled sitting next to the ind in the kitchen.


    "Are you okay dear ?" She suddenly asked sensing sadness in my voice which I''m trying so hard to


    hide.


    "I''m fine, how are you ?" I strayed.


    "I''m fine Raina after spending the day with my two favourite grandchildren, I couldn''t be more happy."


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "They always love to visit you."


    "You shoulde to dinner tomorrow, just Alma and her husband, you and the twins as well as Angelo


    and Yaya." My heart stopped at thest mention.


    "I would love to but I wouldn''t want to intrude, I''m sure I can just drop off the twins."


    "Don''t be Silly, Raina you are part of the family you wouldn''t be a intruder."


    "I will see if I can make it."


    "Of course you can, I haven''t seen you in a while it would be great just to catch up....Richard and I will


    not take no for an answer."


    "Okay fine." I said after thinking about all the excuses in the book toe up with.


    "I can''t wait dear." She said excitedly.


    "Same here." I lied.


    How awkward will it be with Yaya there !


    "Don''t worry yourself about Yaya, this is just a phase my son is going through, he will soon realise you


    are the one for him." She convinced.


    "I hope so." I said biting my bottom lip.


    "You know, a mother always knows what''s best for their children and Angelo belongs with you."


    "But let''s not jump into conclusions." I supervened a grin sprawled across my face. Any girl would be


    very lucky if their mother inw or so spoke to them like that.


    "I have to go dear. Take care." She said.


    "Okay Martha see you soon." I smiled before hanging up.

    Raina Williams


    It was finally the day of the dinner, I was nervous and didn''t know what to expect. Well I had been to


    many dinners and lunches with the Le roux family but this particr one was different because Angelo


    would be having his girl friend Yasmine over there. Sadly, that should be me.


    I parked in the spacious parking that I have gotten used to and familiar with, even the Security of the Le


    roux''s doesn''t even question me anymore when-ever Ie around.


    "Ashton, Ashley...babies wake up we are at your Grandparents house." I whispered waking them up


    gently. They looked so peaceful as they both squinted their beautiful eyes looking at our surroundings.


    I opened the drivers door as soon as I was out I opened the passenger door at the back.


    "I can''t wait to eat granny''s blueberry pie." Ashton muttered stepping out of my Silver Land Rover. I


    don''t know I guess I always had a thing for big cars.


    "All you do is eat Ashton. Grandpa said you will be fat." Ashley replied a glint of innocence written on


    their faces as they argued which I got used to because it happened on a daily basis.


    In about twenty minutester we were all sat in the dining room. Alma with her husband Kennedy, who


    worked at his father''s real estatepany but it was soon to be his anyways besides that Kennedy


    Michaelson is a nice and kind young man and a great husband sometimes I find myself envying my


    own close friend Alma Le roux. She might have shared the same womb with Angelo but they are


    nothing like each other. On the other side Martha and Robert Le roux were sat together then of course


    Yaya and Angelo.


    He didn''t look happy at all when he saw me. I knew I wasn''t wee, when he pulled his mother to the


    kitchen to talk about me obviously as for Yaya she was dressed all elegant and she made my self


    esteem drop a little. I was dressed in a red knee length dress that shaped my figure and curves with


    ck heels. As we ate there was a lot of tension around the table even though Richard tried lightening


    up with his jokes and Alma too but nothing would work. I really felt out of ce.


    I will always be the girl who got impregnated by her Boss''s arrogant son.


    The gracious family talked about all sorts of things and Yaya just seemed to fit in perfectly since she


    mentioned originating from Nethends meaning she could speak dutch with the Le roux''s


    Perfect.


    "Raina, so how is the Derrick case going ?" Richard tried adding me to the conversation.


    "Its going well." I smiled then looked down at my not touched food.


    "Raina, I''m actually working on a business collection for women and you have the perfect body for it."


    Yayamented I had recently learned that she is a fashion designer by profession.


    Suddenly Angelo coughed and I knew he wasn''t happy about the idea.


    "Honestly for someone who has been in the maternity ward you have a ravishing body Raina." Alma


    added.


    "I''m jealous too dear." Martha added.


    "Thank you, but Yaya I have to pass." I said in the most nicest way possible.


    The twins were done eating and wanted to go and y with the dog Fierdo. Richards dog, he''s quite


    the animal lover like his grandchildren. When the twins left Angelo cleared his throat as if he wanted to


    say something and I knew damn well it wasn''t going to be splendid.


    "Can I just make something clear ?" He said.


    "Go ahead son." Richard spoke and everyone else nodded.


    "Especially Raina." He sighed looking frustrated at the thought of my name... does he hate me that


    much ?


    "Honestly I don''t know why you were invited to this dinner because it was meant for Yaya."


    My breath hitched as he continued. Everyone looked shocked by his choice of words but it was


    honestly expected. I knew I had iting but I just didn''t expect him to be so heartless. This was the


    man, I had been madly inlove with-


    "Don''t meddle in my family, just stop meddling. Raina just because I made you pregnant doesn''t mean I


    married you. I know you are inlove or rather obsessed with me but just move on stop forcing yourself


    on me or my family. I don''t love you Raina and I never loved you and its likely never to happen ever. If I


    could get you out of my life I would trust me but I know the twins need their mother. I only tolerate you


    for their sake nothing else. Now, i would really appreciate if you stopped interfering in my personal


    rtionships. Everywhere I go.. you''re there. I can''t even have piece of mind or space for fucks sake.


    You are always at my dad''spany, with my mom... I have to see everywhere even when the kids


    aren''t involved which is honestly really draining for me."


    I''m stupid.


    Was all I could think, very stupid. Mixed emotions was all I felt but mostly pain, everyone was just as


    shocked as I was except Yaya who kept giving Angelo an encouraging smile. This was it, my official gut


    wrenching moment.


    "Uhm excuse me." I mumbled feeling my eyes get heavy with tear under my eyes.


    Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Good lord Raina you can''t cry in front of them.


    "Raina-" Martha stood up trying to stop me but Angelo was right, its time I moved on. But will I ever ?


    "Its okay Martha, thank you for the wonderful supper. I hope it won''t be too much trouble if I left the


    twins....I just need to be alone." I swallowed thest words, I have to go before I cry.


    "Its okay, honey." Martha hugged me.


    "Go rest Raina, the twins will be fine." Richard stood up to hug me as well as Kennedy and Alma.


    "Stop spoon feeding her for God''s sake, she is a grown ass woman." Angelo spat bitterly.


    As soon as I realized my body had betrayed me my eyes were flowing with tears I quickly pulled back.


    "I have to go...thanks again." I muttered before walking out the door.


    I think I heard Yaya say something between the lines.


    "Well done babe, you really put her in her ce."


    I shuddered at the thought that it was her idea or rather their idea.


    This is thest time I will cry for a man especially Not Angelo !

 Chapter 7 - We never see each other.

    Chapter 7 - We never see each other.


    Raina Williams


    It''s been over a month, everything is splendid. I met up with Derrick''s son Grayson, such a nice young


    man. He made meugh and cry whileughing which I hadn''t done in quite a while. He was hesitant to


    meet me but I told him that I would do everything to help his father''s case. Fact is Derrick wouldn''t be


    coming out of prison but the least I could do is get him a minimum sentence then if he serves nine


    months I will push for parole otherwise he will be serving Life imprisonment or twenty five years and


    more.


    Not to mention, I kept my word and distance throughout this past month, I didn''t see Angelo. I avoided


    him for as long as I could after all its for the best. I also stopped talking to Alma and his parents


    honestly it''s true I meddled quite a lot. If I was in his shoe''s I would do the same thing, all I have to do


    now is keep my promise.


    "Miss. Williams.." Nadia walked in my office.


    "Yes, Nadia." I smiled going through some documents.


    "Mr. Le roux insists on seeing you today." She said. Nadia was a neen year old, varsity student but


    was quite good at her job and I appreciated that she never let down.


    "I can''t, I''m busy with the Derrick case. Just tell him we can discuss it on the phone." I was quick to


    reply.


    "Raina, you have been busy for a month." A voice interrupted. I looked up only to meet his forest green


    eyes. "Besides we can''t always discuss everything over the phone." He walked over to sit on the


    leather couch on the other side of my office further from my mahogany table.


    "I will leave you to it then, Oh Miss Williams... Grayson said dinner at eight pm sharp." Nadia smirked. I


    knew what she was doing, I had recently told her what happened because I was all grumpy. I couldn''t


    keep everything bottled up after i told her everything I felt so much better. She is really nice to talk to,


    sometimes I forget that I''m older.


    "Uhm okay, Nadia you may leave." She stuck her tongue out before leaving.


    "So I found some schools that I think you will love, they are the best." I rambled walking over to where


    he was sitted looking at me closely. I was wearing my usual ck pencil skirt that hugged my body and


    my white blouse that was tucked in smartly and loosely hanged below my abdomen. I usually wore my


    spectacles in the office so maybe he just realised how ugly I waspared to his fashion designer girl


    friend but that didn''t matter. Life goes on.


    "Well I actually wanted to talk about something else." He muttered.


    "Uhm is it about the twins ?" I asked nervously but kept a stern look.


    "Not really." I sighed.


    "Then it doesn''t matter." I smiled and he seemed befuddled, its just I promised myself that the only


    thing that brought us together was the twins and that''s all we should ever discuss about.


    "So this is the schedule I made." I handed him a copy.


    "You take the twins two weekends a month then I have them on one weekend of the month. It''s either


    you pick them up or Maya drops them off." I exined he looked stunned.


    "But which means we never see each other." He mumbled.


    "Uhm yeah that''s the point we won''t have to tolerate each other at all." I smiled. "You can run it past


    yourwyer if you like ?" I suggested.


    "No, it''s fine." He sighed.


    "I knew you would like it." I gave a goofy smile but he seemed annoyed anyways after this he wont


    even see me that much anyways...


    "So which school did you have in mind for their first grade ?"


    He looked at me intensely before asking.


    "Who is Grayson ?"


    "Oh that''s Derrick''s son, he has been helping me with the case and stuff." I replied casually.


    "Oh, I just thought he was you-" I cut him off.


    "No.." I chuckled. "You should know love is not for me honestly." Iughed but he didn''t respond.


    "Uhm, let''s just get back to the twins." I said awkwardly trying to avoid the change of subject.


    "You know seeing you like this reminds me of-"


    "Please don''t say it." I mumbled looking away from his intense gaze.


    "Park town or Roosevelt ?" I tried changing the subject, we were about to enter, I didn''t want to be


    reminded of if stupid I was.


    "Park town I guess." He ran his hand through his hair.


    "Its Park town then." I said standing up. I liked the school it was quite expensive so was Roosevelt but


    only the best for my babies.


    "So when is our next meeting ?" He asked standing up.


    "I don''t know, its not really necessary for us to meet if we stick to the schedule."


    "Okay I will see you then." He followed me to where I was standing.


    Don''t be stupid.


    I told myself as he stepped closer. He was about to do something we were going to regret the next day.


    "Uhm you should probably go Angelo." I moved back but I was backed up by my mahogany table.


    "Angelo please." I murmured when I felt his breath on my neck.


    "Fuck Raina, you don''t know how hard it is to stay away from you." He whispered in my earying


    sloppy kisses on my neck which really sent me on the edge.


    "Its for the best, I''m doing my part pleasemit to yours."


    I knew all I ever was a sex machine to him, to calm him whenever he is frustrated.


    "I can''t, its hard." He kissed my jawline.


    wow, ironic... it''s hard, that''s all I''m good for.


    "Angelo you have the most beautiful girlfriend, you love her and she loves you don''t ruin it because of


    some bitch you used to fuck in the office."


    Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Don''t say that."


    "Its true and I have epted it so don''t feel bad." I smiled.


    Suddenly my phone rang then he pulled away before walking out with a sad look on his


    face.

    Angelo Le roux


    "How is Raina doing?" My mother asked.


    "Fine, I guess." I muttered under my breath.


    "She never calls anymore you know and I have a fundraising at church she usually helps me bake the


    cupcakes. I guess not this year." My mom frowned.


    "Yaya can always help, you know Raina only helped you to score points with me." I shrugged sat on


    the balcony with my mother admiring the nice view. My parents couldn''t have chosen a better mansion.


    "She helped me because she grew up in a Christian home, its just in her to help and she knows what


    and how to host these type of church functions."


    "Yeah yeah no wonder she was a virgin." I mumbled.


    "You ruined her Angelo, would it have killed you to keep it in your pants." My mom red at me making


    me flinch by how harsh her tone came.


    "Does that mean you didn''t want any grandchildren?" I smirked.


    "No I love the twins they are everything to me."


    "I just think if you hadn''t came in her life and ruined it all. Today she would be married to Someone who


    loves her but nope she just had to fall for someone who treats her like sex thing...I raised you to be a


    gentleman Angelo !."


    "Yeah right." I looked at the beautiful sunset.


    "What is that suppose to mean?"


    "She made a schedule which is perfectly ned for the purpose that her and I never have to meet."


    "Isn''t that great !" She said amusedly.


    "You get to hate her, never see her and see your kids also spend time with Yaya."


    It sounds nice to the ear but I don''t feel happy still. I thought maybe because she was clingy but now


    she is so distant in fact very distant, she never calls, Never wants to see me, Maya is like our middle


    man now.


    "Yes." I answered unsure.


    "Call her mother. I can see you miss her."


    My mother quickly took her phone dialed her number and put it on loud speaker for me to hear.


    "Hi Mrs. Le roux." Her angelic voice startled my insides.


    "How are you Raina ?" My mom asked a smile stered across her face, I knew she was very fond of


    Raina. Maybe too fond of Raina.


    "I''m alive, I guess how about you ?"


    "I''m not fine Raina, I miss you and you haven''t called in over two months...have you forgotten all about


    poor Richard and I." My mother responded, I couldn''t help but roll my eyes at that response... really?


    Poor Richard and I.


    "No Mrs. Le roux I miss you a lot. I''m just trying to be on good terms with Angelo for the sake of the


    twins." Her response gave my? heart a pang. "I don''t think it would be a good idea for them to always


    see us fighting or them quickly realizing how much their father loathes me. It will ruin their hope of ever


    being a normal family."T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "I perfectly understand so do you presume it''s working ?" Mother asked looking directly at me.


    "Yes, Angelo was right...I just needed to move on and right now my main focus is the twins and my


    career."


    "What about your dream wedding?" My mom sobbed is she really crying because of this, I didn''t know


    this was sensitive topic. This is honestly ridiculous, I''m your son not Raina!


    "Erm, i guess happy endings are not for everyone and that''s okay." She said calmly I could see her


    smiling the way she did in the office a month ago. She reminded me of the reason why I was attracted


    to her, it was her personality, the sses that painted innocence (I didn''t even know she still wore


    them.) It took everything within my body not to fuck her on that desk, the more she begged me to leave


    the more I wanted her. What Alma and Yaya said about Raina was true, her body is simply one ce I


    want to explore for a long time if she ever let''s me. Most people think the twins get a lot of my looks but


    no they get it from their mother. She doesn''t know how beautiful she is yet she see''s beauty in people


    like Yaya.


    "Angelo you have the most beautiful girlfriend, you love her and she loves you don''t ruin it because of?


    some bitch you used to fuck in the office."


    That statement kept ringing in my head, why on earth would shepare her self to Yaya ? She is so


    beautiful and her body...that I miss so much. Just thinking about her makes me hard or even hearing


    her voice reminded me of how she used to moan my name when I was inside her. What I would do to


    be inside her again...


    I suddenly remembered my mom was still talking to Raina.


    "How about I bake the cupcakes then Maya will give Angelo when hees by ?" Raina suggested


    over the phone.


    "Juste over." My mom persuaded.


    "I can''t. I really don''t want Angelo to hate more than he already does."


    She thinks I hate her.


    "He doesn''t hate you dear."


    "Oh, Martha trust me if I was in his shoes I would hate me too."


    "Why dear ?"


    "I don''t know I guess I''m just an epic fail at everything I do maybe I should have married the Bishop


    who proposed to me but instead I came to Los Angeles and went back to Ohio Pregnant."?


    What ?! Someone once proposed to her. Shocking... She would have made a beautifully remarkable


    preachers wife. Baking for the orphanages, baking for the church, baking for everyone.


    Note the sarcasm.


    "Raina but that man was too old for you dear and everyone makes mistakes."


    "Honestly I don''t think anyone was meant to love me." She paused. "If there was or there is then where


    is he?"


    I really ruined her.


    "Raina any man would want you."

 Chapter 9 - I know you won`t reply.

    Chapter 9 - I know you won`t reply.


    It was the weekend and I was resting a bit the twins were with Angelo. I just wore a huge T-shirt and


    some shorts underneath. Grayson wasing over, I didn''t know why I was excited but I was.There


    was a knock, I ran to open the door. It reviewed a man with a 5 o''clock shadow like Angelo.


    Fuck what''s wrong with me.


    His blonde dirty hair disheveled which just made him even more sexy even in a suit. His blue eyes


    staring at my own brown eyes.


    "Come in." I said.


    "What a great ce you have." He said looking around.


    "Thanks Gray, can I get you anything?"


    "Just water, I want to be sober when I get home." He chuckled.


    "Okay, make yourself at home while I get your water." I gestured for him to sit. Going to the kitchen, my


    phone suddenly rang. It was a text.


    Angelo : Ashley reminds me a lot about you.


    The same way Ashton reminds me of him. I didn''t want to reply, that would just lead to something else.


    Angelo had been doing this all the time for the past three months, he sends me a message or Calls me


    to tell me unnecessary stuff about my babies but just because I said he couldn''t call me for any other


    reason.


    As I was taking the water I remembered I forgot to ask.


    "Bottled or Tap." I yelled.


    "Bottled is fine." He yelled back.


    My phone rang again.


    Angelo : this is ridiculous but I''m tired having to talk about the twins everyday especially with you.


    Angelo : I know you won''t reply. Pls reply.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Me : Angelo you don''t have to talk about the twins or anything. You are not obligated to talk to me at all


    so don''t feel the need to want to talk to me. When I said I was okay with everything and I epted it. I


    really meant it. Good night :)


    Angelo : I''m not okay with it :(


    Me : Pls don''t make this any difficult.


    Angelo : Let''s discuss this over dinner...


    Me : I can''t.


    Iid my phone on the kitchen ind and went back to Grayson.


    "Thanks." He smirked at me. My stomach flipped. I can''t do that I''m not a teenager anymore.


    "You look beautiful by the way."


    "Oh, with this." I looked at my huge T-shirt. "I don''t think so.." I shrugged.


    "You are always beautiful in anything, my father was right when he said you were a beauty."


    "Derrick really said that ?" I gasped...


    "Yes, he did." I was surprised but thankful.


    "So today why don''t we watch a movie, instead of looking through files and papers for evidence." He


    pouted.


    "Fine, only today though."


    We ended up watching 13 going 30, the movie was hrious. I have no idea how Inded on his


    shoulder never the less, it wasfortable. It was almost ten pm when he decided to leave.


    "Call me when you get home." I mustered a smile.


    "I will." He pulled me close,ying a kiss on my cheek that shook me like a high voltage of electricity


    but nheless I loved the gesture.


    "Bye." I muttered closing the door, my hand on one cheek, a smile curved up. My phone rang, I knew


    this time it wasn''t a text. Walking to the kitchen ind I took my phone answering it.


    "Hello ?" I greeted.


    "God I missed your voice, I thought you would never answer."


    "Angelo, stop acting weird." I said biting my lip.


    "I''m not." He said breathlessly.


    "Oh Raina..." He groaned.


    "Angelo don''t tell me you are using me to get yourself off right now !?" I yelled.


    "I wouldn''t be doing this if you gave me time of the day." He said now in a normal voice, meaning he


    was done whatever he was doing.


    "So what must I do ?" I said sarcastically.


    "Just give me one night. Just one night, you need it and I need it."


    I rolled my eyes.


    "No Angelo that''s wrong, shouldn''t you be asking Yaya ?" I saidying on my bed, just thinking about it


    made my clit pulse with anticipation.


    "I want you."


    I know all I will ever be is a sex machine or Sex stress reliever.


    "No, Angelo that''s wrong."


    "Come on Raina, one night of pleasure. We both need it if we are going to close this chapter." He


    wheedled.


    "Fine, one night." I don''t what led me to say this but I was already using my hand to get of my high.


    "Raina?" He called.


    "Mhm Angelo." I responded but it came out more as a moan.


    "Come on baby we both want this." Angelo said through the phone everything within me flipped.


    "Me inside you, caressing you.." When he said this I moaned rubbing faster, with a pit in my stomach I


    finally released moaning out loud as Iid on my bed.


    "I''ming over."


    "Angelo what about the twins?"


    "They are asleep besides the maid is here." He assured me.


    "Okay, just one night." I said more as convincing myself.


    "Just one night then we forgot about everything and close off this chapter."


    "Okay." I mumbled.


    "Please tell me you are on the pill because tonight I want to feel you."


    "I want to fuck you senseless, Raina." My breath hitched in my throat as I ran to my joined bathroom to


    take the pill.


    "See you when you get here." I said hanging up.


    What had I just done ?

 Chapter 10 - Fuck me without saying a word.

    Chapter 10 - Fuck me without saying a word.


    Angelo Le roux.


    I had to get her out of my system, I had to stop having these puerile thoughts about her. Maybe I just


    needed onest fuck from her... A few months ago I could have sworn that when I had warned her not


    to meddle in my life, I meant it but why did I always have the sudden queer urge to always want to be


    around her at all times even even having some rather sickening dreams about her.


    What''s wrong with me ?


    I had everything, Yasmine is everything I have always wanted. She had the most amazing smile...but


    Raina''s is breathtaking... I love Yaya, I convinced myself, besides everything else Yaya is from


    Nethends and i have always wanted to marry someone from my own origin, Dutch women I always


    found appealing; But Raina...


    I grew up in Nethends, Amsterdam but I studied in London then came to USA to take over one of my


    father''s legal branch, I wasn''t really happy about it until I got introduced to her. She was wearing her


    ck pencil skirt and a white blouse, both showing off her nice figure. At the time she was helping my


    father with one of his cases to gain experience I guess. He was always fond of her and he still is, they


    have so much inmon like political views and everything concerningw. One of the workers at my


    fathersw firm told me that she was very up tight because she was I quote ''Saint Preachers kid''.


    That intrigued me even more, she was a prude and I wanted to break that wall. She avoided me for


    some few days before I finger fucked her in my father''s office, it''s so surreal the risks I use to take


    because my father had received a business call by the time he came in I was done licking my fingers


    and watching her ufortably fix her skirt.


    I got so infatuated with her skin, scent and kisses, we fucked every chance we got. I took her virginity


    till now I still wonder if she regrets everything we did because I don''t and I would do anything to have


    my length between her legs...fuck I sound like a pervert.


    Even when fucking Yaya, I find myself moaning her name its not something I''m proud of but fuck Raina.


    I think Yaya hears it but she simply pretends not to notice and I''m fine with that, I told her I didn''t want


    any clingy girlfriend.


    You wish Raina was still Clingy?


    I didn''t understand why all my thoughts led to Raina, she is the mother of my beautiful kids nothing else


    but they solemnly remind me of her...


    Fuck I''m sick.


    I had forgotten I was on the phone on my way out to get these theories out of my system.


    "Okay." She mumbled, I didn''t think she would agree but I guess this would be a nice way to close off


    our past permanently.


    "Please tell me you are on the pill because I want to feel you." I groaned turning the ignition on, the


    twins were fast asleep and the pent house had a maid in case they needed anything. Yaya was out of


    town for a fashion show in New York which I had declined the invitation to. You couldn''t be far from her..


    Fuck, No I couldn''t be far from my kids !


    "I want to fuck you senseless Raina." I rushed the words driving seeing that I was almost at my


    destination, I could feel my other member getting excited at the thought of touching the body, I haven''t


    explored for a long time.


    "See you when you get here." She said with haste hanging up I loved the effect i had on her. I arrived


    at her building immediately parking before entering to where a receptionist greeted me with a flirty


    smile, I rolled my eyes. The security simply gave me a nod, knowing exactly who I was... Angelo Le


    Roux.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    I couldn''t wait to go and pin her against the wall, I hate to admit it but for someone who was a patient in


    the maternity ward her body was sure as hell deceiving. I pressed the elevator button impatiently, as


    soon as i got there... i jogged to her apartment, I knocked. Excitement brewing inside-


    As soon as she opened, I was quick to press my lips onto hers in the process letting myself in and


    closing the door. She was caught off guard but I missed these plump lips, our tongues wrestling for


    control as I deepened the kiss she let her arms hang lose around my neck. It felt so damn right yet so


    wrong.


    "Fuck, Raina I missed these angelic lips." I gasped for air.


    "Angelo don''t." She said out of breath. I stared at her beautiful Hazel brown eyes as they looked back


    at mine what did she mean by don''t, I didn''te all the way here to be told don''t. I gave her a


    confused look.


    "Just don''t lead me on, Angelo. You don''t have to lie to fuck me." She tore her eyes away from me, but


    thing is I didn''t lie.


    "But-" I protested kissing the edge of her mouth.


    "Just fuck me without saying a word, okay." She pulled me in for a seductive kiss.


    How was I going to fuck this girl without uttering a word to tell her how beautiful she is or how sexy she


    is.


    She thinks you are a liar.


    My conscience echoed.


    I decided to close off all my thoughts and just enjoy this moment in front of me. Kissing her neck and


    corbone she moaned at the touch, I threw my shirt off then helped her remove her T-shirt that was so


    simple yet so sexy discovering that she wasn''t wearing a bra I chuckled a bit whispering "You naughty


    girl." She smiled against my lips. I sucked on her skin pinning her against the wall I lifted her petite


    body up wrapping her legs around my waist as I took us to her bedroom never leaving her lips. My


    bulge was visible pressing my tent against the already wet fabric of herce panties.


    Iid her on the queen size bed admiring the view I was about to explore, she unbuckled my belt


    rubbing her hand over my crouch that was desperately needing her attention. I kicked off my jeans


    leaving me in my boxers she gave me an innocent look before holding my length in her hand rubbing


    the tip back and forth. I groaned at the connection, she licked my tip and everything in me was about to


    explode. "Fuck Raina don''t make me cum in seconds." I groaned as she gave me a hand hob


    quickening her speed. I couldn''t hold anything back when she licked the tip, I exploded, reaching my


    climax. She took in all of me. This woman will drive me insanely crazy, I thought as she kissed me


    passionately. I immediately felt aroused she knew my body more than I did and I knew her body more


    than anyone.


    I slide my fingers in her tight very tight pussy, her walls tightening, I slowly slid in and out of her making


    her throw her head in pleasure and moan at the connection. "Ah. Angelo." She gasped.


    "I want you inside me right now." She pulled me close with desperation, I loved seeing her like this so I


    obeyed and led my dick to her wet entrance before licking my fingers fuck she tasted so good just how


    I remembered. As I slid inside her tight entrance, we gasped at the connection.


    "Raina why do you do this to me...?!" I grunted sliding myself in and out as she moaned her nails


    digging in my back making me groan in pleasure.


    "I missed this, us." I said without realizing it, she continued to moan as I quickened my pace thrusting


    into her with all my might. I continued kissing her neck while rubbing her clit and voluptuous breasts.


    "Raina...fuck." I continued thrusting into her, her walls tightened around my dick.


    "Ah, Ang-el-o ..." She stuttered as I continuously thrust into her gripping her thighs to hit deeper. She


    moaned and I groaned before she released and I followed as we reached our climax.


    "You are mine." I said cing a kiss on her temple before pulling out, I didn''t know why I said it but I


    just wanted her to know even though she thinks of me as apulsive liar.


    We went on for three more rounds before dozing off. I needed to get her out of my system tonight I


    think I did...


    Rather I just opened up to a drug addiction I struggled with for years.

 Chapter 11 - You got what you wanted.

    Chapter 11 - You got what you wanted.


    Raina.


    I woke up to a different scent, arms were around me as Iid on his chest. Then I rememberedst


    night, I''m such a slut. I was reminded of how wild we were when the ache between my thighs pricked. It


    had been long since I had slept with a man, it was amazing but that was it, it''s over that was our two


    minutes of pleasure before reality kicked in.


    Angelo loves Yasmine not me.


    I convinced myself, I had to be strong since Angelo was apulsive liar, he was such a good


    pretender whispering sweet nothings in my ear. Of? course to get inside my pants, he would do


    anything even lie while we fuck that he missed this, us. It was all in the moment but I kept quiet not


    wanting to say anything, I didn''t mean in between the meaningless sex we were having. What am I


    saying all the sex we have ever had was a meaningless fuck. I watched him peacefully asleep, he was


    beautiful made by unfortunately I have epted that, I don''t stand a chance with hot fashion designer


    girlfriend. It''s good to leave space for disappointment.


    I slowly slide out of his arms only to be pulled back by his strong arms.


    "Morning Beautiful." He said huskily as he squinted his beautiful green eyes open but like I said he is a


    liar.


    "Morning." I tried pulling away.


    "Why are you in such a hurry. Huh babe ?"


    "Uhm.." I thought of an excuse.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "I don''t want Maya finding us like this besides our one night is over."


    "You are amazing, do you know that ?" He smiled looking at me. I was confused what was wrong with


    him ?


    "Come on Angelo, you got what you wanted you don''t have to lie to my face." I said as a matter of fact.


    "But I''m not." He said looking hurt.


    "Can I go now ?" I politely asked him to let go.


    "No." He replied pulling my naked body to his.


    "Angelo we can''t, its wrong please let go." I sighed feeling defeated. "Do it for your girlfriend...please


    let''s not repeat this mistake, If there''s anyone to me for this it''s me I''m such a slut-" I rambled.


    "You are far from being a slut, Raina."


    "I''m worse than a whore, who sleeps with a guy whosemitted to someone else huh?"


    "Look I don''t regret it, besides its my fault because you try so hard to avoid me and I just keep on doing


    the opposite."


    "It won''t happen again right ?" He tensed when I asked him.


    "Is that what you want ?"


    "Please don''t make this difficult Angelo.."


    I stood up from the bed grabbing my purple morning gown.


    "You are the one making things difficult for me, how do I stay away from the most intriguing woman I


    have ever met or pretend that we didn''t make love more than twicest night."


    I gasped at his response.


    "Don''t call it that, it''s fine you won''t hurt my feelings if you called it a meaningless fuck like it has always


    been." I spurt.


    "We both know it was different from our previous..."


    "It wasn''t, let it go." Ished out raising my hands. Suddenly he made his way to where I was standing,


    closing the distance between us.


    "Look me in the eye and tell me it meant nothing ?"


    I couldn''t.


    "This is stupid just let it go."


    "Raina Williams..." I looked at him for a brief moment, he has never been this serious.


    "Angelo Le roux..." I briefly smiled.


    "Fuck Raina, don''t give me that smile."


    "Why ?" I frowned.


    "Don''t act like you don''t know what I mean..." He ran his hand through his hair, how attractive can he


    be.


    Shut it Raina.


    "I don''t know what you mean." I crossed my arms in defeat, what did he mean?


    "Raina, you make me want you every damn time then you act innocent. You are such a tease..."


    What ?


    "Me trying to stay away from you makes you want me, argh the irony." Ished out.


    Suddenly there was a knock. Perfect timing.


    "Get dressed please while I get that." I said frustrated.


    "This discussion isn''t over beautiful." He smirked heading to the bathroom.


    Like I saidpulsive liar


    Drifting off to the door through the lounge area, Maya had came surprisingly early today I thought to


    myself as I unlocked the door.


    I gasped when I found out who it was.


    "About time you opened the fucking door, Raina.." She sassed her way in.


    "Uhm yeah, what are you doing here ?" I pulled my purple gown around my body feeling exposed.


    "Well you can''t avoid me forever, I mean who actually listens to the crap Angelo says." She rambled


    making herself coffee in the kitchen while I panicked sitting on the ind.


    "Are you okay ?" She looked at me questioningly.


    "Yes, Alma I''m great." I mused the best smile I could muster.


    "So any ns for -" she suddenly gasped with her mug almost slipping off her fingers. She walked over


    to me with a raised eyebrow.


    "Raina you crazy girl, who are you fucking ?" I hitched on my breath not expecting that.


    "Uhm no-one, why would you say that ?" I nervously shrieked.


    "Duh the hickeys gosh love bites on your neck are quite visible." She giggled.


    Shit shit shit.


    "Oh-" I was about to lie when Angelo entered the kitchen fully dressed with a smirk on his full plump


    lips.


    Shit.


    "Morning Alma." He smirked taking a sit next to me on the ind. I immediately face palmed because


    my life sucks.


    "Angelo..." Alma sneered at him.


    "Uhm Raina please give us a minute please ?" She politely said to me.


    "Alma, I''m sorry I know I''m a stupid whore..." I mumbled.


    "If you are a whole then Paris Hilton is a what ?" She gave me an assuring smile, I awkwardly stood up


    walking out of the kitchen the only thought ringing in my head was I fucked up.

    Chapter 12 - Don`t forget about your dutchess.


    Angelo Le roux.


    "Why are you doing this Angelo ?" my sister Alma hissed at me.


    "Doing what ?" I acted innocent.


    "You know what am saying you idiot !" I rolled my eyes running my hands through my hair.


    "You have broken her heart too many times before without even realizing it sometimes because you


    have never cared. You ruined her once please don''t ruin her again." Alma genuinely said.


    "Your point is ?" I grabbed her cup of coffee and drank from it then gave her back. Not my type of


    coffee.


    "Stop Angelo just stop with your games, stop leading her on." She spat.


    "What ?!? Fuck no she is the one leading me on." I eximed.


    "Oh right I believe you." She crossed her arms with a sly grin of mocking across her face.


    "Why do you always act like she is the victim..." I said frustrated.


    "Because she is. Wasn''t it three months ago when you told her off, now you are climbing out of her


    bed. Stop taking advantage of her need to seek your approval."


    "You are so convinced that she is still in love with me but no she doesn''t care about me, in fact he


    hates my guts.."


    Its true, Raina hates me...I pretended like what she has been saying doesn''t hit a nerve but it does


    every damn time.


    "That doesn''t matter, fact is you two are like toxic to each other. If youplicate your rtionship and


    you have two beautiful kids together...it will not only affect you but Ashton and Ashley too."


    I was suddenly in deep thoughts, I''m confused I don''t know what am doing or why am doing it. I''m just


    acting on gut feeling.


    "Ah yes, don''t forget about your Duchess." She crossed her arms narrowing her gaze at me, well I don''t


    know why she hates Yaya but she just does, although I think as time going by they will eventually like


    each other.


    "Angelo do you even love the poor girl ?"


    I had been quiet for a while not knowing what to say. I wanted to say I love her but every time I tried my


    lips trembled. I have always had a hard time lying to Alma, she was my best friend and sister ...she


    read me like an open book.


    "I''m sorry if I''m putting words in your mouth, I''m sure you do. I guess I will just have to like her because


    I have a feeling you are serious about her..."


    "Alma... Stop please, I need to talk to Raina can youe backter. I have a feeling this will be a long


    discussion." I stood up towering over her 5''5 frame.


    "Are you kidding me right now A ?"


    I chuckled a bit, it had been a while since she called me ''A''.


    Suddenly Raina came running in my favorite outfit, ck pencil skirt, white silk blouse and heels.


    She is still the same girl, I made love to in the office.


    Then I remembered what she earlier... ''Don''t call it that, it''s fine you won''t hurt my feelings if you called


    it a meaningless fuck like it has always been''


    It''s official she hates me.


    "Raina, are you okay ?" Alma suddenly looked concerned.


    "Uhm okay, I just really need to go right now. New evidence from my Derrick case has been found."


    She grinned showing off her pearly whites while tying her hair in a pony tail.


    How beautiful is this woman ?


    "I mean this is the break through, I have been waiting for..." She said excited.


    "Well that''s great." I muttered.


    "Raina you always win every case." Alma shrugged.


    "This one is different Alma, besides I really think Derrick is innocent...oh right I need to call Grayson."


    She looked around for her phone.


    "Angelo please take care of my babies until Mayaes to pick them up...uh Alma I promise we will


    talk soon." She hugged my sister.


    "Good luck but I know you don''t need it...you are that good." I genuinely said as our eyes locked for


    moment before she broke it off, knowing her she probably thinks I''m a liar.


    "Yeah thanks." She blushed slightly grabbing her keys and document bag. Alma eyed me for a brief


    moment as soon as Raina left, she smirked at me.


    "That''s my cue...sis." I gave her a sly grin, well Alma and I weren''t identical twins but we had the same


    green eyes. "Angelo my one and only arrogant twin justplimented the woman who he despises?"


    I simply shrugged before saying..."I always do, stop making it a big deal."


    "Yes you do but right now you genuinely meant it or is it because you came from fucking her gosh mom


    has to hear this..." She snickered.


    "Don''t you dare tell mom and secondly my sex life has nothing to do with you." I snapped. "or mom-"


    "It does have everything to do with me because the girl you are toying with is my best friend."


    "It''s not like I forced her !"


    "You are such a male whore, Angelo and you think this is right because you forget Yaya is still in the


    picture."


    "Okay Alma you win don''t you have things to do like go shopping for my little niece or nephew."


    Suddenly the atmosphere changed, fuck pregnant women and their mood swings.


    "That''s where I''m headed silly." She smiled holding her tummy that wasn''t visible yet.


    "Honestly I feel like a bouncing ball, how did Raina do this alone with twins-" she suddenly stopped.


    Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "I''m sorry A."


    "Its fine, it is my fault for not being there till they were born. I was an idiot to tell her to get an abortion."


    Suddenly my favorite person walked in. Maya, her advises could be used in the white house.


    "Morning Angelo." She hugged me.


    "Alma..." She turned to my pregnant moody sister.

 Chapter 13 - But you always say that.

    Chapter 13 - But you always say that.


    Raina Williams.


    What have I done?


    You slept with your baby daddy.


    I couldn''t process my thoughts throughout the day. It had been a busy day but my mind kept rushing


    back to my mind. Derrick was currently released on bail which really brought a smile on my face.


    Grayson didn''t seem pleased with the fact that his father was out on bail.


    "Honestly i don??t mind if he stays in jail longer?" Grayson muttered. He had these cute dimples with


    gray eyes that could lure anyone into captivity. His hair in a smart quiff.


    "Why''s that?" I asked sipping on my cup of coffee since i didn??t even get to have breakfast.


    Duh because Angelo satisfied you.


    "It''splicated and besides you wouldn''t understand." He frowned, which was really cute.


    "I''m awyer i have listened to the worst confessions, might as well call me a priest. Gray, I''m sure i


    can handle what you have to say."


    We were sitting on the benches at California federal Prison waiting for his temporary release. I really


    assumed Grayson would be happy his father is out but he wasn''t the least happy about the news.


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Well if i tell you don??t freak out too much." He raised his eyebrow.


    "Yes, pinky promise." I mustered a devious smile.


    "Come on Raina, don??t treat me like Ashton and Ashley."


    We bothughed, oh how i missed my babies.


    And their father.


    I hated having thoughts like this, these thoughts about him and i. It was wrong and it will never happen


    again, i promised myself.


    "Okay tell me, I''m all ears." I gestured.


    He looked at me for a moment, I wondered if he would say something that could help me with Derrick''s


    case.


    I gave him a reassuring smile.


    "Well...uhm...gay."


    What what what?! I was shocked but still amazed. Everything made sense, Derrick is an uptight father


    or was maybe still is.


    "Is that it ?" I asked and he simply nodded.


    "You are okay...with..it ?"


    "Why wouldn''t I be ?" I giggled.


    Suddenly Derrick came with a policeman behind him, a huge smile on his face like he had just won a


    jackpot. I hope he didn''t forget that this was only temporary and he shouldn??t get too excited incase


    the case doesn''t go as nned.


    "Thanks officer." Derrick said sincerely as the officer removed his handcuffs handing him back him


    wallet, ID, a silver watch that looked like it could pay my apartment rent for the whole year.


    "Yeah dad, good to see you." Derrick immediately hugged his son, this was quite awkward for me as i


    just stood there looking lost. Once they broke off the hug, he pulled me into a big crushing bear hug.


    "Thank you Raina." He whispered.


    "Oh please, dont thank me yet." I said subliminally.


    "But i have to. I know you worked hard to get me this bail seeing as it had been declined about four or


    more times.


    "Okay well it was a pleasure.?" I paused..."This means we have more time to work on our case


    including witnesses, evidence etc.


    ***


    I arrived back home feeling tired and frail, i looked around noticing the toys were everywhere and


    unpacked. How many times had i told them to always pick up their litter.


    "Ashton ?? Ashley ??" I called removing my heels .


    "Hey." Alma walked out. "They just took a warm bath then fell asleep." She awed at the thought.


    "Thank you Alma."


    "Hey don''t sweat it besides its good practice for my future beh-beh on the way." She rubbed her


    stomach, i couldn''t wait for the little pumkin to be born already.


    "Oh and Maya left early she said she wasn''t feeling too well and she didn''t want to worrry you so i told


    her i didn''t mind taking care of the cutest nephew and niece." She sat next to me with her medium


    bumb sized belly. She was literally the woman version of Angelo on looks but definitely not personality


    wise.


    "Also reme-" i cut her off, i knew what was about to say.


    "Raina, i just dont want Angelo to hurt you more than he has already done." Sheid her hand on top of


    mine.


    "Uhm, i have nothing to do with Angelo, it was a mistake and it wont happen ever again."


    "But you always say that...?" She frowned.


    "I promise i won''t. I mean it this time, he asked me to stay out of his life and that''s what i have been


    doing for the past few months." I paused. "He ismitted to someone whom he really loves and i


    won''t be the one to break that up." I continued. "I''m just happy he is bing a good example for his


    kids that''s all."


    "I''m d you feel this way, i wouldn''t want you getting hurt by any of this." She paused and looked at


    me like she wanted to say something.


    "It looks like Angelo is about to settle down, a week ago he asked my opnion on engagement rings."


    My heart dropped and broke into a million pieces but why was i feeling this way ? Why does it hurt ?


    "Uhm hopefully Ashley can be a flower girl, she would look so cute in a dress and Ashton in a small


    cute tux." That''s all i coulde up with.


    "Are you okay with it ?" She asked with concern.


    "I''m okay with it, if you told me this some months ago maybe i would be hurt but i don''t care anymore." I


    paused trying to digest this. "Life continues..."


    He used me.


    He has always used you.


    He said that night


    was different.


    And you believed him ? He used you like a bachelor''s party gift. Sex with a stranger before tying the


    knot very convenient.


    I said my goodbye to Alma putting on that fa?ade around her was quite hard. I went to check on my


    babies and they were asleep they made this, everything worth it.


    I went to my room, i didn''t even realize tears were streaming down my cheeks. Iid there but my bed


    sheets smelt like him. In a swift drift, i pulled the covers off as well as the duvet, i couldn''t stand his


    cologne on my bed. For a moment i just sat on the carpeted floor with the sheets in my hand crying


    silently. I felt like a failure, a fool, meeting Angelo was the worst thing that could ever have happened to


    me and falling inlove with him was the death of every single happy chapter i was ever bound to have.

 Chapter 14 - I shouldn`t have fucked you.

    Chapter 14 - I shouldn`t have fucked you.


    Raina Williams.


    "Derrick Collin''s is not guilty because everyone is innocent till proven guilty..." I muttered to myself as i


    was nning my testimonial speech as hiswyer. For the past week I had drowned myself with more


    and more work because I didn''t want to think about it. In a swift moment of aggravation I crumpled the


    paper and threw it anywhere itnded in my office. What''s wrong with me why am I being fazed by this


    ? If Angelo of wants to marry Yaya he can marry her. What I need right now is the weekend off with my


    babies. Ashton and Ashley are my pride and joy.


    "Nadia ?" I called with my officendline.


    "Yes, Miss. Williams..?"


    "Can you reschedule my meetings for Monday."


    "Yes but is everything okay...it''s just you never take a day off from your court cases."


    "I just miss my family that''s all. Can you book three business ss tickets to Ohio as soon as possible."


    I said slumping into my seat.


    "Okay Miss-"


    "Just Raina, Nadia."


    "Okay Raina." I immediately set the phone down. I had to pick my the twins and tell Maya to pack


    clothes for the weekend. I missed my little brother Kyle he is eighteen now and soon he will be


    attending Colombia University of New York. I guess I was homesick I just wanted to be with my mom. I


    left the office and went to Park town to pick up the twins, they had recently started school. I can''t


    believe it, they were just babies and couldn''t even walk now they are in school.


    When I parked my car at the visitor''s parking, i couldn''t believe it. I didn''t want to see him why is he


    here...


    Because his their father.


    I got out of my car, straightening my skirt. I walked towards where Angelo stood with Ashton and


    Ashley well and some other kids. They were dressed in their cute uniform which consisted of grey


    tunics and maroon zers and maroon ribbons for girls ; grey pants white shirt and maroon zers for


    the boys. My eyes met his eyes and I quickly looked away. Ashton and Ashley ran into my arms and I


    hugged them tightly.


    "Mommy.." They both squirmed.


    "Hi sweetie." I kissed them both on their foreheads.


    I stood up straight getting ready to meet Ang''s re.


    "Uhm hey.." I awkwardly greeted him not meeting his eyes.


    "Kids why don''t you run up to Daddy''s car, i bought you something..."


    "Yayyyy.." They cheered running off to Angelo''s brand new car, i presume. He had a tendency of


    buying new cars anytime of the month, just because he wanted to.


    "Uhm Raina..." He awkwardly scratched his neck.


    "I thought I was the one picking them up today..." I said as we walked back to my car.


    "Yes but Yasmine wanted to take them to dinner with us." He said and I couldn''t hide the aggravated


    look I had on my face.


    "Well okay.." I said calmly. "Just bring them back tomorrow early in the morning we have a flight to


    take.."


    "A flight..?" He raised an eyebrow, he always looked so good looking in a suit.


    "I''m spending the weekend in Ohio with them-"


    "Is everything okay Raina ?"


    "Everything is fine why ?"


    "You only go to Ohio when you are avoiding a problem like-"


    I didn''t want him to finish the sentence, i was exhausted and I just wanted to be away from him. His


    very strong cologne didn''t help either.


    "No I''m just home sick."I shrugged opening my car door but immediately shut it when I remembered I


    had to say bye to the twins.


    "Let me just kiss them goodbye." I said going towards his car.


    "Baby cakes, tonight you will spend the night with your daddy then tomorrow we will see uncle Kyle and


    -"


    "Mommy but I don''t want to see.." Ashton frowned.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Aunt Yaya...she is a meanie." Ashley finished her brother''s sentence.


    "She always says mean things about you mommy.." Ashley frowned.


    "She did what ?" Angelo intervened.


    "It doesn''t matter baby cakes have fun okay and she is your second mommy. Daddy loves her so you


    have to like her too." I said softly kissing them both on their foreheads. When I was about to turn back,


    Angelo pulled me back.


    "Why are you acting like this ?" He asked.


    "Acting like what ?" I asked.


    "You know what forget it."


    "I knew I shouldn''t have fucked you. You are all up in your feelings now." He spat and I couldn''t fathom


    why he would say something like that. It''s true though ?


    "Can we not talk about it, never ever." I continued walking towards my car and I could here his


    footsteps right behind me.


    "I want to talk about it." I deadpanned making me roll my eyes.


    "We are in public, Angelo please behave." I forced a smile when some parents were going into the


    school. Ashton and Ashley were in Angelo''s car ying... always so care free


    "Behave ?! Do you seriously care about what anyone thinks because I don''t. I could fuck you senseless


    right here, right now Raina." He said stepping closer which sent shivers to my spine. He always had


    that effect on me but I would never let him know that.


    "Yes, behave Angelo and stop speaking like that should stop considering


    you are in a rtionship." I said taking a deep breath.


    "You are right." He said in a frustrated strained voice. It seemed like he was in conflict with himself.


    Well I wasn''t expecting that but it''s okay.


    "Yes, I am." I faked a smile.


    Suddenly Grayson called making me silently thank him from saving me from this awkwardness. "Gray


    ?" I picked up the phone looking at the other direction.


    "Hey, it''s Friday wanna hang out ? If you are babysitting or working then I''m bringing the fun to you." He


    said enthusiastically making me smile, my mood could use some cheering up!


    "Uhm yes, Angelo is taking the twins so I will be there." I smiled.


    "Perfect, see you at Seven." He said excitedly, i could literally picture him all happy with a toothy smile.


    "Sure." I hanged up the phone finding Angelo still in the very same spot but only fuming with anger.


    "Boyfriend?" He asked.


    "I have to leave besides don''t make Yaya wait too long. Whatever it is we will talk about it another


    time." I genuinely smiled.


    "Uhm yeah. Bye." He awkward walked away, not knowing if we should hug or do a handshake.


    "BYE. " I muttered more to myself as i opened the car door.

    Raina Williams.


    "He has some nerve." Grayson spat without remorse while pouring a ss of red wine for us both.


    Instead of clubbing we decided to stay at my apartment because he noticed how low, I was. In fact, I


    don''t know how to feel about it everything.


    "I just wanna go home Gray." I sighed. "I need to be with my parents and my brother." I said absent-


    minded. Gray handed me a ss as he sat next to me on the leather couch. "You have a very funny


    way of dealing with stress and anxiety my dear Raina." He sipped on his wine. He looked so carefree, i


    guess our rtionship went from Lawyer and Clients son to close friends after he told me he was gay. I


    can not believe I was even begining to think maybe something could happen between us.


    It''s good those thoughts didn''t go too far.


    "Shut up, Gray." I yfully hit his chest making him pout.


    "No don''t mind me... I''m just saying, you need to go to Ohio and think about this and everything..."


    "He is getting married." I added emptying the contents in my ss, i needed that.


    "Raina, you need to get over him. Please girl...this rtionship is so unhealthy."


    "I know-"


    "So why do you let everything he does affect you ?"


    "Uhm-uh-well.." I mumbled.


    "Babe it''s time you moved on. This time for real and that means no absolutely no sleeping with him. He


    is using your Raina, he is a maniptive bastard, okay ?"


    The truth hurts.


    Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Uhm yes." I snirveled as tears rolled down my cheeks.


    "For once let yourself cry, let it out. You cry, let it out and move on." He said pulling me into a hug.


    "I-i-feel...used..." I cried on his chest, i never let anyone see me cry but I couldn''t act strong anymore. I


    couldn''t act like I was okay, I couldn''t keep myself together...I was tired. I felt like a used toilet paper,


    with no worth. He made me feel that way, all the time.


    "There there there.." Gray said patting me on my back.


    "Someone out there is meant for you."


    "So where is he ?" I raised my head. "Where is he ? I hate this...I hate feeling like this. I hate Angelo


    AND I WILL HAVE TO SEE HIM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE BECAUSE OF THE KIDS. HE IS SO


    HAPPY WHILE I''M HERE SULKING...GRAYSON YOU ARE RIGHT. I DON''T KNOW.........WHY I LET


    MYSELF GET USED. HE ALWAYS USES ME, A MONTH AGO I THOUGHT I HAD EVERYTHING


    UNDER CONTROL BUT HE JUST HAD TO COME AND GET INSIDE MY PANTS...and I let him." I


    yelled but thest past I said it under my breath more to myself.


    This was the worst feeling but I felt much better when I talked about it.


    "Yes, Raina you are worth more than this." Gray encouraged my ranting like a psycho but truth is


    shouting, screaming and crying sure made me feel better. I had this anger buried inside and this was


    my way of releasing it. I need to remove all this negativity, that way I have more space for positive


    emotions.


    "He is a dog." I said grabbing the whole bottle of wine, i felt a bit tipsy from crying or was it the wine-


    "Yes, he is nothing but a dog, Raina." Gray said with sass. "You know if I was with him right now, i


    would.." I paused gulping down the red hot liquid. " I would tell him that the sex sucked and and and he


    is quite horrendous at making love." I had no idea where I got the sudden confidence but I liked this...


    "I like this Raina alot." Gray added.


    "Yes, I like this Raina too." I muttered.


    "I''m done being nice Raina, who gets stomped all over. I''m done being nice hoping one day he will


    notice me. You know Gray I always had that glimmer of hope that one day he will fall in love with me." I


    suddenlyughed. "Who the hell was I KIDDING I MEAN, HE DOESN''T CARE AT ALL. HE DOESN''T


    WANT ME, HE WANTS YASMINE YAYA WHATEVER, CAN YOU BELIEVE HE CALLS HER YAYA. HE


    MUST REALLY LOVE HER HUH...THEY CAN SPEAK THEIR FUCKING DUTCH TOGETHER AND


    FUCKING GET MARRIED IN AMSTERDAM, RIGHT... WELL I WANT A FREAKING BRITISH LAD


    TOO. WELL HOW WOULD HE FEEL IF I DIDN''T MARRY HIM BECAUSE HIS NOT AMERICAN I


    MEAN, ANGELO LE ROUX IS A FUCKING BASTARD DOUCHEBAG ARSEHOLE." I gulped down


    some more of this wine.


    "That''s the spirit Raina let it out my friend." Gray chuckled.


    "NEVER AGAIN WILL I LET HIM FUCK ME. LET HIM FUCK YAYA.." I faked a Dutch ent. "HE IS


    SUCH A MALE WHORE SOMEONE NEEDS TO CUT OF HIS DICK AND THAT WON''T BE ME


    BECAUSE I DON''T EVER WANT TO SEE HIM IT WHATEVER. I DON''T CARE...I DON''T HAVE A


    CARE AT ALL IN THE WORLD. I WILL TEACH ASHTON TO BE A GENTLEMAN NEVER TO BE LIKE


    HIS FATHER. HE PROBABLY FAILED AT CHIVALRY CLASS." I stammered falling on my butt but


    luckily the wine bottle didn''t break.


    "Chivalry ss, good one Raina." Grayughed.


    "Okay whatever but you know what i mean smarty pants." I giggled throwing a cushion his way.


    "Yeah yeah...now get up." Gray murmured helping me up from the floor. "You have had enough of


    this..." He took the wine bottle away from me making me whine.


    "Remember you have an early flight to Ohio the ce of fixing Raina''s broken hearts."


    "Shut up." I snarled.


    "No worries, I will sleep over so can drive you to the airport." He smiled. " I got an A+ in Chivalry ss.


    "


    "Stop making fun of me." I frowned like a kid crossing my arms.


    "I''m not making fun of you."


    "You are."


    "Not."


    "Are."


    "Not."


    "Fine, Mrs. Chivalry." He said making us bothugh. He had a way of making me feel better, my life


    revolved around Angelo my best friend was his sister, i guess Gray was the only person who wasn''t


    attached to the Le Roux family.

    Chapter 16 - You can tell him about us.


    Angelo Le roux.


    "Babe, i have to drop off the kids at Raina''s ce. Be back in forty." I murmured kissing her on the


    cheek making her frown.


    "Just send them with a Uber driver or something." She huffed putting her makeup on. I preferred her


    without it, she looked wless but she didn''t seem to think so.


    "No, Yaya I will drop them off by myself." I said putting my hands in my pocket.


    "Oh, an excuse to see Raina." She huffed feeling defeated.


    "No babe, i love you and only you. Don''t think about Raina too much, she means nothing to me." I said


    not so sure about my choice of words. I had been thinking alot and this is what I absolutely wanted...to


    marry Yasmine. It was about that time in my life where I settled down, i wasn''t feeling pressured or


    anything. I just felt the need to do it, Yasmine Bruyne is and was what I had always wanted in a


    woman. She is career wise, she is independent, confident, blonde and sexy.


    "Angelo are you sure you don''t love Raina because-"


    This question hit me like a ton of bricks but I quickly recovered. "Come on babe, not again." I ran my


    hands through my ck jet hair.


    "It''s just-" she sighed but I quickly turned away.


    "It''s just nothing Yaya, i have to go...and you have to start trusting me." I said a bit frustrated. I made


    my way downstairs finding my two precious gems having breakfast. "Daddy daddy.." Ashley called as


    soon as she had noticed my presence. "Ashton said I''m evil like Aunt Yaya." She frowned.


    "Ashton, how can you say that about your sister ?" I asked the little boy who stared at me with green


    eyes like my very own.


    "But she is." He said looking at his cereal.


    I sat on one of the stools putting my hands on the kitchen table. "Why would you say that Ashton?" I


    asked him in a soft whisper.


    "Because she said I''m evil like Aunt Yaya so if I''m evil, she is also evil because we are twins." He


    muttered under his breath.


    "Daddy, Ashton is mean." Ashley frowned.


    "Okay both of you will make up and Daddy will buy you ice cream." I said in an enthusiastic manor.


    "I''m sorry Ashley." Ashton quickly said making me smile.


    "I''m sorry too." Ashley quirked a toothy smile at his brother her blue eyes glistening with happiness.


    "Now that''s sorted let''s take you to your mommy." I grabbed my cars keys. My mind still wondered why


    they hated Yasmine, she wasn''t good with kids but she sure as hell wasn''t ill treating them. She even


    promised to take them to Disney world next summer. The twins followed me to my car, both of them


    fought to sit in the front sit but I ended up making them both sit at the back. Having twins was a full time


    job, making sure everything you do is equal and fair. I know how that goes considering I have a twin


    Sister Alma. It was always like that growing up, I guess it''s like having a best friend and a sibling at the


    same time.


    I thought about how weird, Raina was acting...I had made a mistake. It should have never happened


    now she was hurt again and I didn''t want to give her false hope. I can never be with her...


    I parked in the driveway for visitors, the twins quickly ran out knowing how and where to go. I followed


    them to the elevator, Ashley pressed the sixth floor button. I was so proud of her, she was getting taller


    like her brother. I made my way to Raina''s apartment, knocked once or twice before someone opened


    the door. He was tall and had blonde hair, i didn''t recognize him but fact is what is he doing here


    shirtless.


    "Uncle Gray.." Ashley hugged him then quickly ran inside to her room. "Sup kid." He did a handshake


    with Ashton. I didn''t even have a could hand shake with my son ?


    "And who are you ?" I questioned when the kids were out of sight. He was putting on his shirt and I


    wondered where Raina was ?


    "Oh right. You must be the baby Daddy." He shrugged his shoulders. "I''m Grayson." He said opening


    the door wider to let me in. Raina suddenly walked in all dressed up looking beautiful as always.


    "Oh..uhm morning Angelo. Thanks for dropping my babies off." She smiled. "No problem." I replied.


    "Uhm Grayson this is Angelo and Angelo this is Grayson my-" she was cut off by Grayson.


    "Boyfriend." He added making her gasp with shock. He pulled her close then smiled before


    saying..."Raina it''s okay, you can tell him about us." I stood there in utter shock, i wasn''t jealous infact I


    didn''t know what to call this feeling.


    "Uhm yah." She said looking down.


    "Thanks for dropping them off, Babe your flight is leaving in an hour let me shower then we can leave."


    Grayson smirked.


    "I will drive them to the airport, no worries." I don''t know why i felt the need to say that but I did.


    "No no its fine Angelo." She said shifting her gaze away from me but I wanted to look at those hazel


    brown orbs.


    "I insist." I smiled tightly.

    "Well then that''s sorted babe, see you on Sunday. Call me when you can okay and tell your mom this


    thanks giving I will be there and your dad tell him that I have been reading the scriptures he sent me oh


    and Kyle tell him, to hit me up next time, I visit New York." He said kissing Raina on the cheek. Well my


    only Question is how long has this rtionship been going on, if he is so acquainted with Raina''s family


    ? more than I am.


    Before I knew it, the twins were running past me with their satchels.


    I need answers.

 Chapter 17 - How tight you`re

    Chapter 17 - How tight you`re


    Raina Williams.


    I couldn''t believe what Grayson had just done...he is just too much work. He is just unbelievable, my


    head hurts fromst night, in general today is just not my day. I''m not so up to this trip anymore and


    when I doe back, I have to work on Derrick''s trial which ising soon.


    "So you and Grayson huh ?" Angelo snapped me out of my thoughts. He was driving us to the airport


    since he offered which is something he would never do. "Huh?" I replied with a confused look.


    "I didn''t know you had a boyfriend." He said in a nonchnt tone his eyes fixated on the road while the


    twins were arguing , i guess it''s their nature.


    "I guess you could call it that." I leaned on the window looking away from him. He looked so handsome


    and sexy with the tiny stubble starting to take form and his piercing green eyes and jet ck hair. Stop


    it Raina... my subconscious warned.


    "Why didn''t you say so ? Is that why you were all moody after we-" i cut him off immediately.


    "I thought we said we were never going to talk about that." I muttered gritting my teeth together out of


    annoyance which only made him smirk.


    "I don''t know what''s the best part, what your tongue can do or how tight you are." He chuckled. His


    dirty talk always did things to me, the way he could easily get me to do anything by just a simple touch


    and whisper.


    "There are kids here so please Angelo behave." I said deeply inhaling trying to calm down.


    "I can''t help it...Rainae on we have f-" He paused looking back he noticed Ashley and Ashton were


    now asleep. "Fucked so many times and you still get nervous about it." He chuckled, his hands on the


    staring wheel.


    "Can you just stop it." I warned clearly not in the mood for him.


    "Does your boyfriend fuck you good the way I do ?" He asked his hand on my thigh making me gasp


    for air.


    "Answer me Raina ?" He smirked while gripping my thigh making me squirm unexpectedly, he always


    had this effect on me, I hated it with all my might and being. My throat suddenly felt dry and I felt


    suffocated, i needed to get away from him. His hand was about to make its way up my skirt but I


    stopped him.


    "Angelo, this is inappropriate and it shouldn''t happen again." I said firmly and he looked at me with a


    mischievous smirk.


    "I remember you said the same thing, the day, I fucked you senseless in my office except you called


    me Sir instead of Angelo." He reminded me of the most embarrassing moments that I hated with a


    passion. Oh really Raina ?


    "Angelo, what do you want from me ?" I asked with a serious expression only realising that he had just


    parked the car in front of the airport.


    "I don''t want anything from you, trust me Yaya does enough of that. I just love teasing you that''s all."


    He replied without a care in the world looking at me right in the eye. My heart broke but wasn''t it


    already broken ? What was i expecting anyways ? He only needs you when it''s time to fuck.


    "Okay thanks for making that clear enough and Thanks for the ride." I removed my seat belt. He


    watched me intensely as if he wanted to say something but he decided not to. He loves ying with my


    feelings, every chance he gets. Did you think he actually cared about you ? Haha


    "Raina ?" He called me calmly.


    "Mhm ?" I replied not looking at him.


    "Text me when you get to Ohio." He muttered and I nodded. Were you expecting something else Raina

    Chapter 18 - He held me against the wall.


    Raina.


    It''s true what they say, home is where the heart is. With Angelo? No, I''m back home with my family,


    where I belong, with people who love and appreciate me. I stared at the house I grew up in, nothing


    had changed much. My mother''s flowers still so beautiful and thewn greener than ever, my father


    was taking good care of thewn like he always used to. He always obsessed about cutting the grass


    at a perfect and equal height which drove my mom crazy at times. I timidly smile reminiscing...


    "Mommy mommy, can we go in...?" The twins pulled me forward snapping me out of my thoughts.


    "Okay babies." I muttered going towards the door, with the luggage in hand. We didn''t need to carry


    much as we would be spending only the weekend in Ohio before going back. We had arrived in the


    afternoon, it was currently past three and my only hope was they would be at home. Which I wasn''t


    sure of, seeing as they always have prayer and fasting on Fridays...family routine.


    I had not realised just how much, i had changed and forgotten all my ways, all the morals I grew up


    with. I''m reminded of this every single day, how I had sex before marriage. I understand I''m older now


    and many people do this all the time but I''m afraid...I''m a disappointment to my father Reverend


    Williams of the Anglican Church.


    The twins didn''t waste time banging the door with their little hands, sometimes; I just couldn''t believe


    that they were mine, as in my kids. They are just so beautiful, cute and perfect, they make everything


    worth it. They''re mine, I brought them into this world, it was an overwhelming feeling.


    "Oh my-" My mom said in a muffled voice as she knelt down and squeezed the twins in a big hug. She


    stood up straight, with tears visible under her eyes, she pulled me in for a hug and for the first in


    forever, i realised how much I missed my mom.


    "Oh...Raina darling-" she gasped with smile on her face. "Mom, I''m sorry I just came in announced." I


    said in a low tone.


    "Nonsense Raina, this is your home and you are always wee." She pulled me into a warm


    soothing hug. I missed the smell ofvender essence, i thought as I walked in the familiar house that I


    grew up in. Nothing had changed everything was still the same.


    "Your father..." She paused leading me to the kitchen, the twins were already upied with the dog.


    "You know it''s Friday, so that means his prayer sessions with the youth." She smiled grabbing some


    sses. "You are just in time because I was just baking vani muffins." She said ncing at the twins


    who weren''t even paying attention until they heard muffins and squealed.


    "They are all grown up, goodness gracious they were as small as pineapple when they were born." She


    cooed.


    "Nana, I''m a big boy now." Ashton added which reminded me, thest I came home was two years ago


    on Christmas, i had been spending Christmas for the past two years with the Le Roux family...Trying


    too hard to fit in...you mean ?


    "Nana Ashton is a meanie." Ashley giggled as the dog licked her cheeks. hey wait! I don''t remember us


    having a dog?!?


    "Go y with Coby outside near the pool, i will call you in...okay my cute little dumplings." My mom


    talked to then like they were two but they didn''t seem to mind as they looked at me for approval and I


    nodded. After a while the front door clicked and I wondered and hoped my father would be happy to


    see me.


    "Is that my Lolita ?" I managed to hear my father''s voice. He always called me by my second name, i


    loved it because no one else ever called me that. Are you sure? My subconscious mocked.


    *shback*


    "Fuck Lolita." He held me against the wall as he continuously thrust into my core, i felt myself tighten


    around him before I finally released then he followed immediately releasing inside my core. I felt weak


    and exhausted, for goodness sake he just fucked me in his father''s office.


    "You know you can''t call me that." I mumbled under my breath, he still had not pulled out and we were


    still in the same position.


    "Lolita, it has a sexy tone to it especially while I fuck you in my father''s office while he is in the


    boardroom." He chuckled looking straight into my eyes with his beautiful green orbs which made me


    weaker...


    "My father calls me that so don''t ruin it for me." I replied.


    "Mhm, i guess you will be my L. I will call you L." He said kissing my lips possessively before he


    pulled out. I immediately started fixing my pencil skirt and my hair that was now dishevelled and I


    couldn''t find myce panties.

    "Okay." I muttered as I signalled him goodbye.


    "Meet me at my penthouse at eight pm sharp, L." He said in a sexy growl that made me want to kiss


    him senseless.


    "Yes, Mr. Le roux." I nodded before going out.


    *End of shback*?


    I immediately erased those filthy thoughts from my head. I can''t be thinking about him right now of all


    situations.


    "Daddy ? " I turned around to hug him. He enveloped me in a big hug. He had more grey hairs now and


    his brown eyes like my own still gleaming with light.


    "I thought I had a dream like this, that my little girl woulde home." He chuckled.


    "Oh sweety, another prophecy ?" My mom asked as she was chopping the onions preparing dinner.


    Her Hispanic ent audible.


    "Yes darling." He said turning back to me. " How long are you staying Lolita ?" He questioned.


    "Uhm only for the weekend." I replied.


    "I''m just d you are home." He smiled. "Did youe with my grandkids ?" He asked and I nodded


    making him genuinely gleam with happiness.

    ***


    Angelo Le Roux.


    "YES YES YES YES, i will marry you Angelo." She practically yelled, as I slipped the 5 carat diamond


    ring on her finger. She immediately hugged me, I was d she liked it. It was Alma''s choice and the


    booking of the whole restaurant too. I''m not the most romantic guy out here but for Yaya I was willing to


    put in the work. She immediately smashed her lips against mine...pulling back a few minutester. This


    was it this is what I wanted...Yasmine Bruyne is who I have always wanted.


    I pulled out the chair for her so she could sit like the gentleman, i am. She couldn''t stop looking at the


    ring like it was perfection, i guess Alma knows her best. "I have to tweet this before they hear it from


    other sources." She gasped stretching out her hand so she could see how it looked on her from a


    distance. "No, don''t make it public." I suddenly said in a panicked voice. The waiter then arrived with


    the champagne, i patiently waited for him to go away and when he did..


    "If it''s not public then who will attend the wedding.." she said sarcastically.


    "Well I wanted this to be private and intimate." I added sipping on my champagne.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "What ?! Babe you have to understand that I am one of the Top Designers World Wide and you one of


    the most respected businessman around. People are going to except a big wedding and most of all


    everyone will want to see my dress." She grimaced then I remembered my mother''sment when I


    told her about my ns.


    "Ofcourse she will say yes, Angelo. You would make a good sponsor for her extravaganza spending


    and you would make a nice mannequin to apany her to fashion shows."


    I listened to her talking about the wedding ns from the flowers to the decor. She looked happy and I


    liked seeing her happy. I loved Yasmine and if she wants a huge wedding then we will have a huge


    wedding. The dinner went quite well, she was more excited than I was maybe all grooms feel like that.


    She mentioned wanting two wedding one in Nethends and one in Los Angeles, i didn''t agree with


    everything but it didn''t matter as long as I was not the one doing the nning. She looked marvellous


    in her red dress, i couldn''t wait to rip it off her sexy body.


    Dessert was served. I loved every bit of it but Yaya did more of the talking than eating, she couldn''t wait


    for this wedding to happen. It made me wonder if she was excited about the thought of having a


    wedding or the thought of spending the rest of her life with me.


    "I can''t wait to have mini Yasmines running around." I grinned at the thought of it.


    "Well not now silly, besides you already have two rascals." She blushed. "Maybe in ourte thirtys."


    She mumbled, we were currently in the limousine and I felt suffocated.


    "You know, Raina should really think about taking them to a boarding school. It would make both our


    lives easier." She said in a nonchnt tone.


    "Yaya, when you ept to marry me you will ept my kids as well otherwise this won''t work." I


    almost yelled but tried to calm myself. She moved her blonde locks to one side of her shoulder. "No


    babe, i love them like my own." She smiled.


    "And they are already part of our family so we don''t need anymore kids, it wouldn''t be good for my


    figure." She said absent-mindedly on her phone. I racked my free hand through my hair.


    "Lorenzo you may drive to Miss. Bruyne''s ce." I instructed my driver who nodded and closed the


    partition.


    "But babe I thought I was spending the night with you." She said seductively cing her hand on my


    lap.


    "Yaya, I''m tired and I have alot of work besides you have a wedding to n remember." I convinced her


    then she smiled.


    "You are right, Yasmine Le Roux has a wedding to n." She gave me a peck on the lips. Yasmine Le


    roux wow that was fast.


    -


    I checked my phone...there was a message from Alma asking how it went, My best bud Bradley


    informing he is in the country, Yaya wishing me a good night and many emails from work but nothing


    from her-


    She must have arrived in Ohio around midday but she didn''t call me. She needs space from you and


    you know it. I decided to call her maybe speak to the twins before they sleep, i know they usually sleep


    around nine and it was currently eight.


    Immediately after the third ring she answered the phone. "Hey Angelo, i wasn''t expecting call from


    you." She sighed. "You should have since you didn''t even let me know how your trip was." I said in a


    monotonous voice. "I''m sorry, i just got caught up with stuff. The flight was great thanks." She replied. It


    seemed as if she was in a hurry to end the call but I wasn''t.


    "The twins are asleep so I will call you tomorrow, okay ?"


    I gentlyid on my King size bed thinking about how nice it was to hear her voice. Shut up you''re


    engaged get a grip. I have to get used to the word itself, Engaged...I have a fianc??e.


    "Lolita Lolita Lolita.." I heard someone call in the back ground it reminded of when I used to call her


    L. I haven''t called her that ever since she got pregnant.


    "Dad ?" She answered in her sweet voice.


    "Who are you speaking to dear ?" The person asked.


    "It''s Gray." She replied. Oh right she had a boyfriend, i sighed before hanging up the call. We both


    moved on its for the best.


    *shback*


    "Oh my I love it Angelo. I have never been here before I mean Ohio doesn''t really have this..." She


    grinned before standing on her tippy toes to kiss me, i loved the innocence in her voice.


    "I''m d you like it." I muttered putting my hands around her slim waist.


    "I love it and I will never forget this." She looked excited and it made me excited. She abruptly turned


    around..."Angelo ?"


    "L ?" I replied looking at her? beautuful hazel brown orbs that were now filled with worry.


    "Do you take every girl you sleep with to Paris ?" She asked nervously. I couldn''t reply or deny the


    truth, i always brought all the girls I fuck to some exotic ce just to ease my conscience.


    "It''s getting chilly we should probably get back to the hotel." I said pulling her small curvy frame close to


    my chest. She smiled weakly then pulled away from my grip and began walking forward. I felt bad


    because I was using her and we both knew it. I felt bad for depriving her of a rtionship but I am not


    to me. She knew from the first finger fuck that we would only be fuck buddies. I was out of her


    league, i dated models and so on not my father''s interns. This is for the best.


    *End of shback*


    I was engaged to be married to Yasmine Bruyne, i needed to stop having these thoughts so I opened


    myptop and started working drowning my myself from reality because I was not ready for it.

    Raina Williams.


    "It''s Gray." I rep(lied).


    "Oh your clients son right ?" My father said in an understanding voice. "I was just hoping we could have


    a little chat, you know it''s been a while." He said with a smile tucked on his lips. "Yes dad, just a


    minute." I grimaced, with a nod he closed the door. I jumped on my pink bed covers only discovering


    that Angelo had ended the call, i didn''t expect that but it''s totally something he would do so oh well...


    The phone rang and a strange feeling of excitement rang inside me but disappointment soon filled it as


    I recognised the caller ID as Alma. Swiping the green bar on my phone, Iid in my back listening


    carefully. I suddenly felt like I was in those teenage movies where the girlys on her bed talking about


    the boy she likes to her best friend except in this story...Angelo does not like me and Alma is not my


    bestfriend well not anymore.


    "Hey Raina, Oh my word you won''t believe what I''m about to tell you." I could hear her practically


    yelling from the other line.


    "Oh yeah.." I wondered what it was.


    "So...maybe Ashley will look good as a flower girl after all." She said in a yful tone.


    "Wow really who''s getting married ?" I curiously asked.


    "Guess ?" She sniggered.


    "Umm, i don''t know." I replied but my gut knew just who it might be, i just didn''t want it to be confirmed.


    It hurt before it was even said. I held onto the tiny bit of hope that it was Angelo, it couldn''t be. They


    had only dated for what a year now? Out of all the women he had dated all these years he couldn''t


    have chosen her. No no no, he just couldn''t be that stupid. Why was I panicking? Is he aware that


    marriage is for life, what if he is making a mistake? Why do I care... why do I care?


    "Okay okay fine. I will just tell you who it is." I could picture her jumping up and down with excitement


    but my heart was beating so fast I could hear it in my ears.


    "A-N-G-E-L-O...." She mumbled but in my ears it sounded like slow motion like everything was just a


    dream, It honestly didn''t sound believable but -


    I was quiet for a while..."Hello ? Are you still there..."


    "Uhm yes I''m here." I mumbled.


    "Wow, i should probably congratte both of them as soon as i return to LA." I spoke in a calm tone but


    I bet it sounded bitter.


    "Raina are you okay ?" She asked worryced in her voice.


    "Super okay."


    "Is that sarcasm ?" She pryed.


    "No, i mean why should I be mad...Angelo and I, there absolutely nothing between us except the twins


    so yeah he can do as he pleases." I curtly replied.


    "Mhm, yes but Yaya is totally cool with it, i spoke to her a while ago and she said she wanted to ask


    you if you would like to be her bridesmaid with your fabulous figure ofcourse." Alma chuckled a bit but it


    was absurd to think Yaya would even consider me. "That''s really nice of her." I wanted to gag.


    "I know right."


    "Yeah..."


    "How are the twins ?" She changed the subject, i have no idea why she thought telling me this would


    make me happy. Didn''t she have a heart?


    She is simply happy for her brother, stop being a bitch just because you ain''t the bride. My


    subconsciousness mocked.


    "They are asleep and I should probably get to bed too."


    "I''m sorry if I upset you."


    Toote.


    "No, you didn''t...I''m just tired that''s all I had a long flight." I assured her.


    "Well okay good night then."


    I didn''t even say it back, i just hang up. I wasn''t in the mood. There was a knock on the door then my


    father gently strode in my room like how he always did when I was a kid.


    "Lolita, are you okay ?" He asked as he sat beside me. You know that feeling when people keep asking


    you if you are okay and the more they ask. The more the tears want toe out.


    "I''m just-" i sighed. "Dad I''m sorry." I managed to say before breaking down into tears, i don''t know i just


    hate being an emotional mess. "For what dear ?" He said rubbing circles on my back as I gruffly wiped


    my stream of tears away.


    "I''m sorry for being a disappointment to this family, i know you don''t say it and you always support me


    in every way you can but I know you are disappointed." I huped.


    "Maybe if I had waited for the right time. Maybe if I had never went to Los Angeles. Maybe if I had


    stayed in Ohio. Maybe if I wasn''t so naive things would be different." As I said these words a tear


    escaped each eye and I couldn''t stop it. My father didn''t say anything as he hugged me tightly.


    "I''m sorry." I mumbled taking a deep breath.


    "Can I tell you something Raina ?" He asked and I peaked wiping my now puffy eyes.


    "Everyone makes mistakes and it''s not about the mistakes but it''s about how you move forward." He


    paused. "I''m proud of you baby girl. You are what you always wanted to be awyer. You don''t know


    how proud it makes me seeing you on the television as you go into coart with your clients in a rush." I


    smiled a little. "Ofcourse, I don''t agree with defending murderers but you know what they say...no one


    is guilty until proven guilty." I broke intoughter.


    "Dad, Everyone is innocent until proven guilty." I said making him chuckle as well.


    "I guess old age is catching up to me."


    "What no ! You are still so strong and healthy." I patted my dad''s shoulder.


    "So what seems to be bothering you ?" He asked.


    "Nothing, I''m happy now." I said with a toothy smile.


    "No, you know what i mean." He continued.


    "Dad.......I''m Super okay." I giggled.


    "Is it about him ?" My father raised a eyebrow.


    "Who ?" I yed innocent.


    "The young man who had the nerve to nt his seeds in my daughter." He said as a matter of fact, I


    scrunched my nose.


    "Oh no dad, that''s disgusting...stop-" i closed my eyes.


    "What do you kids call it in nowadays fuc-" He chuckled.


    "No no no no, Reverend Williams thou shalt not use suchnguage." I grimaced.


    "Fine but what has he done this time ?"


    "Well.." I took a deep breath. "He is getting married to the love of his life." I said with a sardonicugh.


    "Mhm and how do you feel about that?" My father looked at me as if observing me, he is used to


    this...talking to people about their problems and all.


    "I don''t know." I sighed.


    "Are you hurt ?" He continued observing me.


    "Yes, quite a bit." I said under my breath and I suddenly felt better by getting it off my chest. There was


    comfortable silence and I felt more at ease now because I was at home with my family. I couldn''t help


    but feel as if I have felt this same feeling before...


    *shback*


    I stared at the gossip magazine, I had no idea why I was hurt but I was. He always made me feel


    special then as soon as i open my legs, he treats me like shit.


    ''Dutch yboy at it again.'' the headline read.


    Suddenly Mr. Le roux opened the door to my office making me throw the magazine under the table.


    "Hey Raina, the client is here and I just thought you would really love to listen to this one." He chuckled


    holding a mug in hand that had the print ''Legal wise''.


    "Uhm yes ofcourse, I will be there in a minute." I muttered looking at anywhere but him.


    "Are you okay?" He asked stepping in.


    "Yes, I''m fine it''s just I have a cold and a headache. It''s giving me puffy eyes." I mustered the most


    believable smile.


    "Well then you take a day off. I''m not taking no for an answer, you work way too hard go spoil yourself


    to a spa or something nice." He suggested as he headed out and I nodded.


    I picked the magazine again and stared at Angelo shoving his tongue inside Karina H?gglund''s mouth.


    She is beautiful, i had to admit...after all she is a Victoria Secret Model. He told me I was the only


    woman he was fucking with, so why did I suddenly catch feelings and feel hurt about it. I stood up from


    seat and stared at the view, Los Angeles skyscrapers...


    My door batched open again probably Mr. Le roux wanting to make sure I take that day off. I was


    wrong, as just felt hands hang loose around my waist from behind my back.


    "Hey L." I knew what he was here for ''SEX''


    "I was just about to leave." I tried getting out of his grip. "That''s perfect because I''m not in the mood to


    fuck you on the table or the wall or while standing." His breath was warm against my neck. I felt like a


    hoe after what he had just said. Is that really what he took me for...


    "Not today, I''m on my period." I removed his hands and grabbed my car keys from the table.


    "Then let''s just hang out watch a movie at my ce, no worries I will cook." He smirked and I looked at


    him in disbelief. "No, i think you should go hang out with Karina..." I said sarcastically for some reason I


    always felt like there was more to this especially when we hang out without fucking but just having fun


    like when he took me to Disneyndst summer. He had a softer side that he showed me when we


    were alone.


    "Oh, i see what this is about." He chuckled running his hand through his hair and looking sexy without


    even trying.


    "No infact I don''t care."


    "If you don''t care you wouldn''t be talking about it." He spat.


    "Whatever just leave me alone." I yelled. "For good this time, it''s over whatever it was, we were doing."


    "Wow, that''s just a bitchy move don''t you think..."


    "Think whatever you want, I''m done."


    "I was actually doing you a favour, because you were blowing off your steam through me."


    "You are a fucking arsehole, Angelo."


    "But you rode this arsehole''s dick more than I could count." He smirked and I just felt annoyed.


    "Fuck you." I said raising my voice.


    "You mean right now ? Oh yeah I would love to babe." He grimaced making me even more sick. "But


    someone told me to go to Karina so I''m going to do just that." He kissed me on the cheek thenid


    sloppy kisses on my neck making me have a breath intake.


    "See you around L." with that he left.


    I hate him so much so much.

    fuck him.


    *End of shback*


    "He doesn''t deserve you and now that you have realised it. You should move on Lolita." My father


    snapped me out of my thoughts as if he had been reading my thoughts.


    "That''s exactly what I n on doing Dad, this has been long timeing.." I grinned.


    I don''t care anymore.


    I don''t want to care.


    It''s hard.

    ***


    Raina Williams.


    The weekend was wonderful. I spent time with my family except Kyle because he recently started his


    college semester at the New York University of Colombia but he promised to visit LA soon. My brother


    and I have always been close, i love him dearly and I''m super proud of him. On Sartuday we went


    fishing with my mom and dad... suddenly it felt like the old days. The twins learnt a thing or two, i took


    loads of pictures and sent them to their father. I promised myself no matter how angry I get with


    Angelo, one thing I will never do is deprive my children of being with their father. My father was always


    good at fishing, he used to take Kyle and I every weekend when we were kids. Being in the urban area


    for a while gets sickening but here I was at ake, the water green and mesmerising...the tall trees


    everywhere, Birds chirping blissfully. It gave me time to think and to ept the things that I cannot


    change.


    Sunday, We went to church. I missed the presence of just being there but I felt like a sinner and I felt


    like I wasn''t worthy of even being in church. My father was preaching about Forgiving Yourself. I


    listened very carefully because I felt like he was talking directly to me even though everyone in church


    was cheering and feeling blessed by the message. After church we had lunch, honestly I felt happy,


    happier than I had been in the past years. I didn''t have regrets anymore, things happen for a reason


    and I shouldn''t doubt God''s love for me. Like my father always says...


    "You n, I n but at the end of the day ; Only God''s ns prevails."


    Monday, we returned back to Los Angeles and I felt like I was ready to face the world and my demons.


    "Hey, how was your trip ?" Grayson pulled me into a hug.


    "It was splendid." I smirked faking a fake British ent.


    "Daddy daddy, you came?" I heard Ashley squealing I turned around only to see the twins embraced in


    their fathers arms. I gave Grayson a ''Wtf'' look and he returned a ''I don''t know'' innocent look.


    "Dad, we went fishing it was so coooool." Ashton said in a excited tone. I could see Angelo nodding to


    everything they were saying. That''s when I mentally pped myself when I remembered that he had


    recently asked details about our flight and I texted him not knowing he was going toe. After the


    hefty reunion he walked up to me and Grayson, he looked handsome as always in his ck Adidas


    tracksuit and matching Nike kicks...otherwise looks like he was justing from the gym.


    Our eyes locked and then I quickly looked away. "Hey...I didn''t know you would be here." I awkwardly


    greeted.


    "Me neither." Grayson grumbled beside me, carrying our luggage.


    "I wanted to talk to you about something very important it couldn''t wait besides I missed the twins so


    much." He smiled broadly making me squirm on the spot.


    "Uh yeah right, you could have waited at home." Grayson rolled his eyes. "I think I have an idea but I


    thought I would tell you first Raina."


    "Can you just go away or something, i get you are Raina''s boyfriend but you are starting to annoy the


    shit out of me." Angelo spat as he lifted Ashley into his arms.


    "Daddy don''t shout at Uncle Gray." Ashton pulled on Angelo''s leg.


    "I''m not." Angelo faked a smile. His stubble just made him even more attractive.


    Shut up.


    "I''m just gonna drop these at your apartment while you have a talk with your whatever he is to you."


    Grayson kissed my cheek as he walked out of the airport with our bags leaving me here with him.


    "How about we get breakfast, i will tell you then.." Angelo said staring at me, i nodded then lifted


    Ashton. Now we, Angelo held Ashley and I held Ashton, people stared and awed at us as we made our


    way to his car.


    -


    I knew exactly what he wanted to talk about. Does he think am a fool because it has been all over


    twitter and the magazines but I had to y it cool. I sat down impatiently in Starbucks, Ashton and


    Ashley we on the other side of the booth while we sat together on the other side. They were having


    their own conversation as they ate on their donuts, i didn''t want them eating a lot of sugar in the


    morning but Angelo insisted I should cut them some c.


    "So..." I looked to my side as I sipped on my coffee.


    "Yes, Raina I just want you to know...whatever that is happening won''t affect the twins rtionship with


    me or-" He seemed nervous.


    "It''s okay, just spit it out." I replied.


    "Well, I''m getting married. I proposed to Yaya on Friday and-" I immediately cut him off.


    "Wow, i mean woah Uhm- Congrats Angelo. I''m really happy for you." I pulled him into a hug, he was


    tense and a bit surprised by my reaction but none the less hugged me back making the twins giggle


    furiously.


    "You okay?" He asked trying to be sure.


    "I''m super okay, I mean I have to congratte Yaya as well." I smiled.


    "How did you propose? I know you aren''t the most romantic guy and all.." I took another sip, he still


    seemed a little taken back.


    "Well Uhh, Alma helped me out here and there." He smiled looking at anything but me. I get that it was


    hard but I tried to make it less awkward.


    "Well I''m happy for you Angelo. I know things haven''t been perfect between us from word to go but we


    should work on bing friends for the twins and better rtions. Don''t worry I won''t force myself on


    you or anything like that..."


    Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "I know, I''m sorry about the other time, at the dinner-"


    "It''s okay, besides you were kind of right."


    "But still I''m sorry." He said in a low voice, Angelo had never apologised about any hypocritical thing he


    did, so this was a huge step to us mending our rtionship and bing responsible adults.


    "Apology epted." I genuinely replied.


    "Ashton and Ashley guess what ?" I grinned towards my two beautiful gems.


    "Daddy is getting married." I added and they both seemed happy.


    "Mommy, I will help you pick a princess dress." Ashley giggled. "I will help daddy with his suit." Ashton


    muttered but what I didn''t realise is they thought we as in Angelo and I were getting married. We both


    stared at each other then turned back to the kids.


    "No sweets, Daddy is marrying Aunt Yaya." There was silence.


    "Okay." They said in unison but they weren''t as happy as before.

    Angelo Le roux.


    "I can''t seem to believe it, I''m gone for what? A year and Ie back to this surprise." Brad said in his


    deep British ent. He had always been one person I could confide in, we met in London during my


    college days.


    "Yeah Yeah." Izily replied. He had changed alot from having a paleplexion with lots of e, that


    was college. I guess but he had always been tall now he was well built with his dirty blonde hair and


    brown eyes. He had definitely learned a lot from me.


    "Actually I''m d you are here because who would be my best man..?" I grinned looking at his


    shocked expression, one thing about Brad was he was always a softy. We are opposites, we have


    always been opposites but I guess that''s what made our friendship stronger and stable than any other.


    Ofcourse, I had always been the cool good looking one but it didn''t matter. Brad came from a middle


    ss family in London, I usually loved spending more time in his small home town in remote


    Manchester than going back to my own mansion in the Nethends. It was something that really


    annoyed my parents.


    "Really? Are you bloody serious right now mate?" Brad gasped but quickly gulped down his whisky.


    "Bloody serious." I mimicked his ent.


    "Well-" He paused. "I mean it would be an Honour Angie Manjie buddy."


    "Don''t start with that." I warned with an amusing face, i hated that nickname his mom always called me


    that... oh may her soul rest in peace. She died four years ago from cancer.


    "I will never stop calling you that seeing as it annoys you." He chuckled, we were in his hotel room, yes,


    I insisted he stayed at the pent house as a guest but Yaya had other thoughts.


    "So this is it buddy you are all grown up now." He said sadly.


    "I guess." I sipped on my whiskey.


    "What happened to your girl friend Rachel ?" He asked.


    "Oh Raina." I paused. "She was never my girlfriend, we just fucked then she got pregnant."


    "How could I forget when you called me panicking-" i cut him off.


    "I was not panicking, you always exaggerate Brad."


    "No, i don''t thing is I have a perfectly good memory and I remember well how you woke me up from my


    beautiful sleep at three am, only to tell me that you are going to be a father." He said raising his voice


    withughter.


    "Brad, I''m going to be a father not just to one kids but two, FUCK MY SOUL." Brad mimicked my


    actions from that night.


    "Timezones fucking Timezones...bullshit. How was i supposed to know it was 3am in London since it


    was like around ten pm in the US." I grumbled.


    "See, I was always the smart one." He said in a nonchnt tone.


    "Don''t start with that, buddy." Iughed knowing he was joking.


    "Anyways how are the kids? Shit I''m a horrible godfather, I haven''t seen them since they were three."


    He frowned.


    "They are now six and already started first grade, you better feel like shit Godfather." I said


    sarcastically. "They''re my everything Brad, can''t imagine my life without them. They make everything


    worth it. I can''t help but smile when they''re around or miss them when they aren''t around. They mean


    absolutely everything to me. I would move the ends of earth just to see them smile."


    "Already started first grade, wow they are all grown huh ?" He smiled to himself, one thing I like about


    Brad was the fact that he was always thoughtful. "I can''t wait to experience that, sounds like the best


    feeling anyone could ever have."


    "Soon, I will have to chase away the small boys away from Ashley." I muttered making Bradugh.


    "Mhm, now you know how it feels." He paused filling his ss with more whiskey. "To be chasing


    people''s daughters without their father''s knowledge."


    - Raina''s father should have whipped you.


    "You know I''m joking bud." Brad said patting my back but this had definitely knocked the air out of my


    lungs. I couldn''t imagine some boy making my daughter pregnant, then treating her the way I do to


    Raina. I would definitely kill someone, trust I would without any hesitance.


    "So uhh is Raina okay with all this?" He snapped me out of my thoughts after I remained quiet.


    "Yes, she is actually handling it better than I thought." I replied.


    "Mhm." Brad nodded.


    "So tell me about Yaya, why is she the one ?" He asked.


    "Oh Bradley Murray don''t start with your quizzical questions." I mumbled running my hand through my


    jet ck hair. The truth of the matter is ''I'' myself, I didn''t know.


    "No I''m serious. As the best man I need to make sure you are ready for this and you are not making


    any mistake." He said on a serious note. "So go on tell me ?"


    "Fine." I sighed. "Yasmine is beautiful."


    "Ofcourse she is." Brad rolled his eyes, i knew he never liked her from the first time he met five months


    ago in New York.


    The weekend you spend with Raina.


    How could I forget that weekend, it was amazing.


    Maybe Brad hated her because she called him a bimbo who was only hanging with you to eat your


    family Fortune.


    She didn''t mean it, she may have had one too many drinks.


    "She cares about me." I said.


    "Mhm.." He nodded.


    "She is career driven."


    "Being a fashion designer is not exactly...but something likew you study and master it for four years


    now that''s career driven besides wasn''t she born into a rich Dutch family. You are practically perfect for


    each other."


    "Why did you have to sayw?" I frowned.


    "My bad, that just came to mind first but Doctor, ountant, Businessman like myself." He said


    proudly. I nodded, i knew he didn''t mean to use Law as an example it had just been am honest


    coincidence that he usedw and my baby mama is awyer. Brad had his very own import and export


    business in London, so he was a sessful business man like myself.


    "How''s that going?" I changed the subject.


    "It''s going great. I was actually here to discuss a few things with Derrick Collins." He said proudly.


    "Derrick Collins as in the murderer?" I furrowed my eyebrows.


    "Yes, well no his son will be talking over so we won''t have to worry about that. Hopefully he has one


    hell of a goodwyer to get out of that bloody mess." Brad mumbled shaking his head slowly.


    "He does actually." I said out loud.


    "Really ?" He asked looking interested.


    "Yeah, it''s Raina."


    "What ? Woah are you serious, no you are kidding I know it." He grimaced. When I didn''t respond he


    chuckled in disbelief. "Wow Uhm what a small world, now that''s what you call career driven."


    "If you say so." I weakly smiled raising my ss.

    "You haven''t said much about your trip ?" Grayson muttered as he made himselffortable in my


    office.


    "Uhh, it was great." I bit my pen, thinking about my uing case with Derrick.


    "I meant your meeting with Angelo a week ago..." He grimaced eagerly.


    "Oh that." I shrugged my shoulders. "We just sorted out our differences." I sighed. I don''t know why


    talking about him made me feel tired.


    "I swear that guy has it out for you." He added sitting with one leg on top of the other.


    "What do you mean ?" I said feeling more than confused.


    "Isn''t it obvious, well I''m a guy and I can tell."


    "I''m confused."


    "He likes you." Gray muttered making meugh hysterically.


    "Right." I curtly replied not minding whatever he was about to say.


    "Well maybe he doesn''t like you but there is something between the two of you. The way he looked at


    you when we were at the airport gave me the wrong idea about this whole situation." He grumbled


    typing on his silver iPhone.


    "Angelo is like that, he enjoys fooling people especially people like me. He will convince you that he


    likes you then Nope!" i smiled absent-minded atleast I didn''t like him anymore.


    "Not that babe like seriously the way he looks at you makes me have second thoughts." He suggested.


    "I don''t care really, don''t mind him.." I shrugged.


    "You still up for being a bridesmaid ?" He smirked.


    "Yes, trust me I''m not going to be some ex or whatever who will sabotage their beautiful ceremony."


    "You would be doing Angelo a favour from my own perspective, he looks like he doesn''t know what the


    fuck he is doing."


    "Stop having these silly ideologies.." Iughed.


    "No but seriously does he need to call you about the twins all day everyday.... or maybe he just wants


    an excuse to talk to you." He said thoughtfully.


    "He loves his kids so he would rather call every chance he gets." I defended.


    "Bullshit, I tell you." Grayson rolled his eyes.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Gray, we decided to be friends and be mature about it." I exined.


    "I would hate to tell you I was right in the near future." He gave a tensed smile. I knew he was just


    looking out for me but the truth of the matter is Angelo is just tolerating me for the twins sake nothing


    else.


    "Okay."


    "I was thinking..." He straightened the cuffs of his navy blue zer.


    "Yeah ?" I added.


    "Why don''t you be my front until I''m ready toe out ?"


    "What but how do I became your front ?" I was shocked.


    "You pretend to be my girl friend." He said calmly.


    "Why ?"


    "Because you are my friend are you not ?" Gray pouted.


    "Yes but you are being maniptive." I pouted back.


    "Whatever I take it that''s a yes ?" He questioned.


    "Sure." I said without hesitancy.


    "Great. I knew you would say yes." He smirked and I simplyughed at his gesture of trying to be sexy.


    "Uh huh..." I stared at him in disbelief.


    "When exactly do you n oning out ?" I asked.


    "When my dad goes back in prison and hands me my shares to thepany." He bluntly said.


    "Well that''s not happening because that''s my reputation on the line, i can''t lose this case. It''s the


    biggest case I have ever handled."


    "You are my friend and a pretty goodwyer but my dad is going to jail, he killed someone.. he isn''t


    getting away with it this time." He replied.


    "What do you mean this time ?" I pryed.


    "Did I say that ?" He nervously chuckled.


    "Are you trying to say he has killed someone before...?"


    There was silence.


    "Well he kills people all the time but he doesn''t have to do the dirty job... this time is different because


    he did it himself and messed up." He paused. "Do you really think anyone will believe he didn''t


    deliberately drive into the poor guy?" He muttered.


    This was a new lead, i knew Gray wouldn''t lie about something as serious as that. He was Derrick''s


    son for goodness sake.


    "Wow." was all I could gasp.


    "Let him go..." He shrugged putting his feet on my mahogany table.


    "That''s your father we are talking about." I gritted through my teeth.


    "Yeah, i know." He snorted.


    "He''s still your father even if he hasmitted some-"


    "You mean murdered. It takes alot to get to the top and you should wonder why and how ourpany


    stays at the summit."


    "You talk about it so normally, I mean doesn''t it scare you that your father has-"


    "Nope it doesn''t, i grew up with him."


    "What would happen if he found out about your sexuality ?"


    "Totally put up for adoption." Heughed. "You know what i mean."


    "Gray trust me, your father loves you. I have seen the way he''s eyes dte when he talks about you.


    He will ept you for who you are...he doesn''t have much family or friends but he holds you on a high


    position." I paused. "When he got arrest, he called me and told me that he was scared about how you


    would see him from there onwards. He didn''t care about the press or the world or the investors...he


    cared more about your opinion."


    He was silent as if trying to register what I had just said to him.


    "Really ?" He raised his head to look at me with those blue eyes. Tears wailed under them. I stood up


    walking around my mahogany table to go give him a hug. He needed it. He stood up still towering over


    me, he embraced me in a hug and I instantly hugged him back.


    "You are my best friend, you know that?" Heughed while wiping tears from his eyes. I always thought


    Alma was my best friend but frankly all she does is hurt my feelings so she isn''t. "You are mine too." I


    smiled and hugged him again.


    The door flipped open revealing Angelo, i instantly pulled back. He looked stunned but why would he?


    He knows Gray is my supposed boyfriend. Gray stood there in a ck Louis Vuitton suit and Angelo in


    a charcoal armani suit. The tension was tense even with my four inches high heels they both towered


    over me.

    "Am I disturbing something ?" Angelo said clenching his jaw. I stepped back from Grayson. "No,


    actually I was just leaving but what do you want anyways?" Grayson said in a nonchnt tone making


    me sigh.


    "It''s none of your God damn business just get out!" Angelo seemed pissed.


    "It is my business because I can see right through you..." Gray deadpanned, i wanted tough but this


    was serious and Gray was getting the wrong idea.


    "Uhm Gray, i will call you." I led him out.


    "See right through me? Yeah right." Angelo replied.


    "I''m watching you and don''t think you will fuck my girlfriend anytime you feel like your fianc??e isn''t


    good enough." Gray was dead serious and I felt awkward.


    "Gray that''s enough, you should go." He pulled me into a hug andid a gentle kiss on my cheek


    before heading out of my office leaving me and Angelo alone with the tension.


    "Sorry about that, Gray is just a little overprotective." I muttered going towards the couch on other side


    of my huge office.


    "It''s okay." He muttered sitting next to me, a little too close for my own liking. My pencil skirt hiked up as


    soon as i sat down disying my thighs which I was trying to cover up.


    "So.." I didn''t know what to say honestly.


    "I came to discuss uhm -" He''s hand racked through his jet ck hair. "Custody of the twins."


    "I thought we had already sorted that out." I looked confused. He looked at my legs then gulped before


    looking at the walls.


    "Yeah I just thought-"


    "You and Yasmine will probably have kids after getting married and I don''t think it will be a good idea for


    you to have custody of the twins." I stated as a matter of fact, Yaya didn''t like my kids that I knew for a


    fact.


    "You make it sound as if I will forget them as soon as that happens, they are still my kids too." He


    added, he looked handsome as always, his green eyes tried making eye contact with mine but I


    instantly hesitated and looked else where.


    "I don''t want to argue with you then so I will just keep quiet." I said straightening my skirt as it kept


    going down.


    "I didn''te here to argue with you..." He gave a lopsided smile. "Raina."


    "Fine. Are we done?" I asked in a serious tone.


    "Why, eager to chase me out?" He smirked.


    "I need to get back to work Angelo." I shrugged.


    "Uhm yeah." He scratched his head in an instant his eyesnded on the bracelet I was wearing. "You


    still have it ?" He took my hand in his making me feel even more ufortable. His hands on my skin


    felt tingly.


    "No this is a different one." I mumbled and disappointment flooded his facial features.


    *shback*

    Panting for our breath, he copsed beside me. I felt tired and sore but it was amazing, anything I did


    with Angelo was amazing. "I never seem to get enough of you.." He muttered pulling me close enough


    so Iid on his bare chest.


    "Angelo ?" I whispered.


    "L..."


    "I like you alot." I blurted out.


    "I know you do." He replied with no surprise.


    "Maybe-" i was cut off.


    "Not happening baby doll, i like what we have don''t you?" He said in a dismissive tone.


    "I do but-"


    "But nothing." He quickly added.


    "I bought you something for your birthday.." He reached the bedside draw and pulled out a box, my


    heart skipped a beat. I knew a part of him cared even though he acted like he didn''t.


    "Open it." He smirked. I sat up straighten closing my upper body with the white linen sheets. I eagerly


    opened the small box inside there was a diamond ne and a bracelet that sparkled so bright and it


    looked simple yet expensive.


    "You shouldn''t have, this looks expensive." I said my fingers roaming around the gift and it''s expensive


    diamond rocks. It had my name on it as well as his in silver carving..


    "You are worth it, worth every diamond." He gently caressed my neck. "I want you to have it, don''t


    worry about the cost L."


    "Thank you Angelo, i love it." He helped me put it on and honestly that was the greatest gift anyone had


    ever given me not because it must have cost a fortune but because it came from someone I was inlove


    with.


    "And I love it on you." He kissed my cheek. I almost thought he would confess his love for me but boy


    was I wrong that would never happen.


    *End of shback*


    "Yasmine asked me to be her bridesmaid, i hope you don''t mind ?" I fumbled with the edges my


    bracelet, it was the same bracelet he gave me that night but I wasn''t going to let him know that.


    "I don''t." He cleared his throat.


    "Congrats again now Uhh, i really need to go back to work." I smiled at him and his green eyes


    flickered towards mine.


    "Thanks, i will leave you to it." He frowned.


    "Angelo.." I called when he was about to reach the door.


    "I''m really happy for you and I''m d this friendship is working between us for the twins sake."


    He faked a smile and turned to close the door. Why was he being so cold suddenly towards me? I was


    used to it but the only difference now is I was off his back. Isn''t that a good thing... me getting over


    him?

    "So I really want this wedding to happen as soon as possible, that''s why it will be happening in a


    month." Yaya exined while sipping on her cocktail.


    She had invited all her bridesmaids to meet for lunch and the only person I knew around this table was


    Alma the other three ; no idea.


    "Oh right, Alma and Raina this is Leentje Timmermans my childhood bestfriend, we met in highschool


    back in Amsterdam." She pointed at the woman who sat beside me with big cold narrow gray eyes,


    strawberry blonde hair in waves and had a meaningful tattoo on her neck.


    "Nice to meet you Alma and Raina I wouldn''t say the same." She spoke in a thick Dutch ent filled


    with vernom and I flinched in my seat.


    "She is my maid of Honour." Yaya added.


    "Over there is Linda Freisler, she from Germany you must know her collections...we met at a fashion


    show in Cologne and we have been close friends ever since." She pointed at the woman who beside


    Leentje with a sophisticated solemn expression. She had deep set blue eyes tousled auburn hair with a


    nose ring.


    "Alma and Raina, Guten dag." She said in a nonchnt tone. I furrowed my eyebrows because I didn''t


    understand what the hell she was saying but Alma replied without hesitance, her stomach was now


    showing just a bit considering she was four months pregnant.


    "Over there is Antota Ravn, a good friend of my mine. She is from South Africa but we went to the


    same Fashion school in Amsterdam back in Nethends." She pointed at the woman who sat right


    beside me, i had thought she was African-American from her caramel tannedplexion. She had


    warm brown eyes, her ck frizzy hair ced in a bun, a small gold earing on each ear.


    "Nice to finally meet you Alma and Raina." She spoke with a none american ent.


    "Nice to meet you all." I gave a warm smile making Leentje roll her eyes and Linda furrowed her


    eyebrows.


    "She''s American ?" Linda questioned.


    "Well yes." Yaya replied. That''s when realization dawned onto me, i was the only American sitting on


    this table. Of course I feltfortable with Alma but now I felt left out because she could speak Dutch


    with them but hey Linda and Antota can''t speak Dutch.


    "I thought you were only inviting Europeans, you know how i absolutely distaste Americans." Linda


    sneeredying her manicured hand on her cocktail ss.


    "Actually I''m not fully American, my mom is from Puerto Rico." I replied trying to ease the tension.


    "So can you speak Dutch or German or just Spanish ?" Leentje narrowed her eyes at me.


    "No." I replied in a low tone.


    "So you can''t even speak Spanish ?" Linda sourly asked.


    "No."


    "Then you are American and I don''t like you." Linda said as a matter of fact.


    "Come on, Linda." Antota added.


    "I''m not the only American here, am I ?" I turned to look at them. Leentje startedughing hysterically


    then Yaya and Antotaughed as well.


    "You are darling. Antoneitta speaks Afrikaans and I speak German...both thesenguages are simr


    to Dutch so let''s just say we can speak Dutch." She said in time like she was speaking to a five year


    old.


    "Oh..." I frowned so much to Alma for being my best friend she didn''t even mutter a word in my


    defence.


    "But we are going to speak English and none of that." Antota added.


    "Netta-" Linda and Leentje yelped at the same time.


    "Anyways back to why we are heredies. I''m getting married." Yaya grinned showing off her beautiful


    ring. Wow I thought, he really went all out.


    "That''s right and I''m the maid of Honour." Leentje grimaced.


    "No need to rub it in." Linda rolled her eyes.


    "You haven''t even told us who is Raina and Alma. One of your many friends ?" Antota said, it


    seemed she was one person that everyone on this table seemed to listen to.


    "She told us on the phone remember.." Leentje said in an annoyed tone.


    "Alma the millionaire''s sister and Raina the baby mama for millionaire." Linda said and I felt sick to my


    stomach, no wonder they all seemed to hate me. Antota only liked me because she didn''t know but


    now she knows.


    "Oh right." Antota furrowed her eyebrows giving me a ditasteful look.


    "I think I''m just going to go." I felt unwee and ufortable like they were against me.


    Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "No no stay." Yaya stopped me while her friends gave her the ''what are you doing'' look. Grayson was


    really my bestfriend because in this whole conversation you would think Alma wasn''t even there, she


    ignored my presence like a bug.


    "This is my wedding and I want her to stay so treat her well." She summoned and they all gave me


    distasteful looks.


    "Fine, but I will speak Dutch or German when it suits me even if she is here or not." Linda added.


    "Damn right." Leentje sneered at me.


    "I''m sure you have Google tranter on your phone." Antota said sarcastically making Leentje and


    Lindaugh.


    "I think Yaya will be a good Samaritan and trante." Linda added as theyughed.


    "I tried being nice but this is just bullshit. Yaya wants me in her wedding so if you have a problem with it


    please shove it up your Dutch or German throats because I won''t sit here while you insult me. You will


    just have to tolerate me because I''m not going anywhere until Yaya says it herself. Right Yaya ?" I


    turned to Yasmine.


    "Exactly." She replied. Alma just pretended to be on her phone the whole time. "Now let''s talk about


    what we are here for.."


    I heard Leentje, Linda and Antota muttered incoherent sounds among themselves like I care. I


    won''t let Angelo step all over me then Angelo''s fianc??e then Angelo''s fianc??e''s friends like hell..

    Raina Williams.


    "They were so rude." I sighed sipping on my red wine.


    "You do know you can still back out right?" Gray muttered calmly with his eyes closed concentrating on


    his yoga. I wasn''t a fan but Gray invited to his pent house and I found him doing his yoga so I just let


    him continue..


    "I know but I don''t want to look like a bitter person or anything." I shrugged.


    "You are too nice." He breathed in and out in and exaggerated sigh.


    "No I''m not." Iughed at his utter seriousness.


    "Next time, I''m going with you. We will show those hoes that you have a handsome boyfriend." Gray


    smirked admiring himself. He really was handsome and it would be really stupid if any woman rejected


    him. Sometimes even I''m at fault whenever I admire him from afar. What would we have be if he


    didn''t turn out to y for the other team...oh Gray but he is a magnificent friend.


    "And Alma she is a designated hoe as well." He continued with his awkward yoga positions. He''s dick


    not going unnoticed in those tights.


    "No she-" i was cut off before I could mutter a word.


    "She ims to be your friend but she kept quiet while they spoke shit about you like that." He said at


    the top of his lungs. "A pretty awesome friend if you asked me." He mumbled his words dripping with


    sarcasm.


    "She is pregnant-" i added.


    "So when you are pregnant you can''t open your mouth ?" He deadpanned. That''s when it really hit me


    like a ton of bricks. Alma wasn''t my friend. Grayson was right, a good friend would have defended me.


    "I don''t want any drama and you are right." I sighed. "I don''t want to be part of this wedding it''s not


    worth it."


    "So you went through all that so you can quit now?" Heughed. "Bitch listen here, you are going to


    that wedding and you are going to y and be happy. Someone is marrying that asshole because you


    my darling deserve better than Angelo." He grimaced.


    "I know." I said with a huge smile.


    "I taught you well then?" He dered.


    "I don''t care about Angelo infact ever since I talked to my dad, I realised it wasn''t worth it. Well the


    twins are the only thing that ties me back to him." I smiled taking more of this wine, Gray really had


    good taste.


    "You know what you really need ?" He questioned and I raised an eyebrow.


    "You need to meet new people, you are still young and sexy. I would totally tap that." He eximed now


    standing and towering over my petite body.


    "Ofcourse, I can pretend to be your boyfriend but how long will thatst so that''s why we will look for


    you someone in the meantime."


    "That was your suggestion, i never said I wanted a boyfriend." I gasped.


    "You need to explore and experience new Dicks, big, slim, thick-"


    "Stop stop Gray." Iughed at hisck of filter.


    "Angelo is a really selfish bastard. Ofcourse he gets to sleep around then when he is tired of those


    loose vaginas. Hees to your tight vagina that has only been stretched with his dick and only his


    dick." He rolled his eyes standing with a towel wiping the sweat off his forehead.


    "To fully get over him you need to give your body to someone else." He said in a much softer tone, i


    had never thought of it that way but yes he was right.?


    *shback*


    Iid my head on his chest feeling drained. Panting for my breath, Angelo captured my lips.


    Kissing me with a soothing kiss and he whispered. "God, L you are amazing."


    I weakly smiled refusing to look him in the eye. "Tell me you have never done this to any other man


    except me." He growled as he traced his fingers on my bare hips.


    "I haven''t." Ofcourse, I had never done that with anyone infact I had never done anything with anyone


    except Angelo. Today I took control and rode him like my life depended on it.


    "You''re perfect so fucking beautiful. I love your innocence baby." He pulled me into his arms my back


    facing his front. His breath in right below my neck sending tingles to my spine. Before I knew it he was


    soundly asleep and me? Lost in my thoughts.


    *End of shback*?


    "You are right. I need to getid but hey its hard getting into a rtionship as a single mother, what


    more with a handful twins." I sighed.


    "If you stuck with Angelo all those years and he treated you like shit then you can do anything girl, you


    are superwoman because that guy is a full time job. Although I will admit he is sexy."


    "Ouch." I faked being hurt.


    "I''m sorry I''m just being honest, if he had told me to get an abortion then nine monthster he was all


    up in my face acting like a good father, i would be on IDxtra right now." He deadpanned grabbing his


    water bottle. "Specifically, I almost got away with it."


    "I know." Iughed at his dramatic ways.


    "Besides you are beautiful you could get any man you want." He smirked twitching his eyebrows in a


    suggestive manor.


    "Now let''s take a vow." He said in an excited tone.


    "Raise your right hand, Raina." He demanded and I did, amused by his character.


    "Say, I Raina Williams." He spoke with a serious face, i didn''t know where this was going but I liked the


    sound of it.


    I repeated after him.


    "Never will I let Angelo Le Roux touch me." He said making meugh until I realised he was serious.


    I repeated after him.


    "Never will I let Angelo touch this delicate body." He added.


    "But I just said that." I whined.


    "Say it again with confidence." He demanded and i did.


    "If I do, my friendship with the handsome, awesome sophisticated greek god Grayson Collins will be


    over."


    I opened my mouth to protest but he was dead serious so I followed after him.


    "Never ever ever ever will I ever do anything intimate with Angelo Le roux." He continued and


    determined to keeping my promise I repeated after him. "No dick sucking, hand jobbing or him eating


    you out or sticking his dirty fingers-"


    "That''s it girl. This is the beginning of an Angelo free life." He paused. "Well besides the kids you know


    what i mean." He said in a confused manor but I totally understood what he was about to say. Honestly


    Grayson brought out the best of me, maybe I didn''t know the meaning of a real friend till I met him.


    Alma proved me otherwise and he showed me the correct definition.

    Angelo Le roux.


    "Are you sure this is what you really want ?" My father asked looking concerned. Once again for what


    seemed like the hundredth time that question was thrown into the air again. Does every engaged


    couple go though this everyday until their wedding because it''s exhausting.


    "Yes, I''m certain." I said pursing my lips into a thin line but something was constantly telling me to say


    no. People get nervous all the time before their wedding day right ? That must be it.


    "Then why don''t you seem happy ?" My father questioned as I sat on the opposite side of his office. I


    blinked furiously not sure what he was driving at.


    "I''m as happy as I could be, dad." Iughed not sure of how to react to his blunt attitude.


    "I know you very well son." He said in a soft hoarse tone.


    "Trust me, i really am." I said finding the grey carpet more interesting than anything in the room right


    now. Suddenly there was a knock saving me from the awkward tension thickening between my father


    and I. I couldn''t help but think that my father didn''t like Yaya, maybe that was it.


    "Come on in, Raina." My father said with a grimace, i swear he loves her more than anything. Well who


    wouldn''t she is innocent, nice and sweet.


    - you don''t .


    "Mr. Le Roux ?" She walked in with a smile on her face, that was of course the most attractive thing


    about her. Seeing her in a pencil skirt made my pants tighten and feel constricted. They always shaped


    each and every meander of her body.


    "Nonsense Raina, i told you that you can call me Richard." My dad stood up to hug her. I didn''t know


    why he invited her because this certainly wasn''t a coincidence.


    "I know, i know but I want to sound as professional as possible." She pouted and my father was just too


    happy he hugged her again. I don''t know why but it bothered me alot, they were too close forfort.


    "Oh yes you remember rule number 234-" My dad giddily smiles.


    "234 page 72. Yes I read the whole book." Raina finished his sentence and he seemed so proud.


    "Oh I''m sorry. I didn''t see you there, Hi Angelo." She didn''t give me the same smile which made me feel


    unwanted but why would I care about what type of smile she gives me. She didn''t look at me the way


    she used to. Her brown hazel eyes didn''t glimmer like they used to whenever she saw me...


    "It''s okay. I was just about to leave." I bluntly replied. I noticed she avoided eye contact but why was I


    noticing all these small gestures.


    "No, you don''t have to leave. I just came to get some advise from the bestwyer in Los Angeles." She


    grinned at my father who seemed to do the same.


    "You mean the bestwyer in the world." My dad added and they bothughed. I didn''t get it.


    "We were just discussing Angelo''s engagement, you may take a seat Raina." My dad offered Raina a


    seat right next to me, taking his seat as well.


    "Oh thanks Rich." She smiled showing her pearly whites and her dimples never seeming to glow.?


    - Whatever happened to being professional? Rich.


    "I actually have to meet Yaya for the dress fitting, it seems the measurements didn''t go too well." She


    said fumbling with her car keys. I knew what she was talking about. Yaya had told me earlier that


    Raina''s voluptuous body was making the other girls feel insecure. Although I think she doesn''t know


    but she is so fucking perfect so beautifully breathtaking. I could fuck her all day.


    - that''s just lust speaking.


    "Right." My dad interrupted. "So the Derrick case ?"


    "Here goes thewyer jargon. I think that''s my cue." I stood up only getting a full view of her creamy


    legs. I gulped down, my other member feeling restrained.


    "See Raina...you were God-sent because both my kids didn''t want to studyw then you came along."


    My dad joked.


    - then she came along.


    "You have amazing kids, Mr. Le- I mean Richard. I hope the twins follow in your footsteps." I knew


    exactly what she meant, i wasn''t a good father figure for Ashton and that my father was. Well I''m


    getting married to the love of my life, i have apany that is well developed...I''m the perfect father


    figure for my kids especially my son.


    - but you treat his mom like shit.


    They didn''t even notice me leave because they were so consumed in their discussion. I heard


    Grayson''s name being thrown here and there of course, she would talk about her boyfriend. fucking


    great if you asked me.


    -


    Arriving home after a long day at the office and a visit at my father''sw firm. I felt tired and drained.


    "Hey you are home ?" Yaya was on the phone dressed in tiny shorts and a tiny top. She would fit to be


    a model, she does look anorexic at times. She was on the phone pacing back and fourth.


    "Yes there will be over five hundred guests. two hundred are family and the rest are potential clients


    from the celebrity world." She exined. Iid my car keys on the counter, feeling exhausted. That''s all


    she has been doing since the day I proposed; nning the perfect wedding.?


    "I thought we discussed this." I mouthed removing my Armani zer.


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Make sure ??news is there, MTV and any other useless shows. Just make sure ?? is there okay.


    People magazine has to make us the front cover of September issue." She continued.


    After making several calls, she finally hanged up. "Babe, i thought I told you. I want a private intimate


    wedding with a few family and friends." Iid a kiss on her lips.


    "I know but honey, I have been nning my wedding since I was a little girl and I really want this. I want


    the world to witness our profound love." She said euphoria evident in her voice.


    "I just-" i was cut off.


    "I love you Angelo and I want this to be perfect, please allow me?" She pouted and I couldn''t deny her


    of her perfect wedding.


    "Fine." I summoned earning multiple kisses everywhere, i didn''t feel anything. I never did, no one''s lips


    affected me the way-


    - you are fucking engaged get it together Angelo.


    "So today my designer finally fixed Raina''s dress... Goodness if I had known she would give me such


    problems I would never have made her my bridesmaid." She stood up waving her slim arms out of


    frustration.


    "She has such a big ass and huge tits then the tiniest waist, how does that happen ? Now my dresses


    are giving each problems." She grumbled.


    "But why would you tell your designer to design one size for all your bridesmaids." I asked clearly


    amused. It wasn''t entirely true Raina had a body of a Goddess, it''s just that my fianc??e is really skinny


    so she see''s anyone whose above her weight as fat. Raina has the body of an hourss...so fucking


    deliciously perfect.


    - you are engaged.


    "My friends and I are all the same size so I just assumed-" she sighed running her hands through her


    hair. "Raina has a perfect body." She mumbled. "She will steal my shine on my own wedding day and


    it''s not just her body even her face." Yaya was now sulking and I hated when she did that.


    "You are more perfect babe, that''s why I am marrying you not her." I pulled her to sit on myp.


    "Really ?" She asked unsure.


    "Really babe. You are a freaking Goddess." I kissed her earning a moan.


    "You should remind me everyday sometimes I forget." She hugged me.


    "I will." i assured her with a kiss on the cheek.


    "For the rest of our lives ?"


    - now that scared the shit out of me.


    "What''s for dinner ?" I asked avoiding the question.


    "I was thinking we could order Chinese or pizza but you will have to eat that alone. I am on a diet, i


    wouldn''t want to have problems with my wedding dresster on." She said tugging her blonde hair into


    a ponytail.


    "Right." I mumbled.


    *shback*


    "Angelo don''t do that, I''m cooking." She giggled. I couldn''t help admiring her petite curvy figure, God I


    was so blessed to be eating this everyday.


    "We can always order out while I fuck you in the shower." I whispered in her ear.


    "No, Angelo. We can''t have take outs everyday although that sounds very pleasing." She said in a


    serious tone.


    "I don''t mind not eating, i want to eat you."


    "Nope, if you keep doing that you won''t eat at all." She warned and I smirked.


    "Look at you being sassy at me, are those your Puerto Rican genes kicking in?" I spanked her ass


    making her squirm.


    "Don''t push me Angelo." She grinned tasting the food she was cooking.


    "Let''s taste what you have been cooking for the past Fourty-five minutes." I questioned.


    "Okay let me grab a te." She said innocently.


    "No that''s fine I want the one from your mouth."


    "Gosh, Angelo you are disgusting."


    "Fine, let''s get the tes." I sighed as I watched her flipping her beautiful ck hair to the other side.


    "What?" She asked.


    "You are pretty." I said like I was talking to my crush and caught in a trance. She just smiled and


    shrugged.


    "How about food now, sexter." She suggested looking at my bulge.


    "Great." the thought of having a boner while eating sounds really great.


    *End of shback*?


    "Cooking is boring anyways right ?" Yasmine snapped me out of my thoughts. "Takes a lot of time and


    effort."


    "Yep." I faked a smile.

    "Mommy ?" I turned to look at Ashton who was seated beside me with a ton of ice cream. Argh I know


    I''m such a horrible mother.


    "Yes sweety?" I said taking a mouthful? spoon of ice cream. I did this everyday, watch movies with my


    kids even after curfew.


    "Love Rosie is like you and Daddy." Ashton said and I was speechless.


    { love rosie }


    "Mommy will be like Rosie at the wedding for Daddy." Ashley added and honestly I didn''t know how


    could six year olds analyze such things infact it scared the crap out of me.


    "Uh-" Suddenly there was a knock on the front door, good lord I was thankful for that. Dressed in my


    tights and a tank top with myfortable bunny shoes. I rose from the couch walking towards the door.


    "Thanks Gray-" i was quick to say as I opened the door; it was infact Angelo. What was he doing here


    at ten pm ?


    "Well now I feel bad because I ruined your surprise?" He said with a cheeky smile as soon as he tried


    to make eye contact I looked away.


    "Uhm, I just thought you were taking the twins next weekend." I opened the door wider so he could get


    in. His eyes were glued to my body and I honestly felt ufortably insecure. I have kids, imagine the


    stretch marks, i am fighting from my thighs of to butt cheeks.


    "I was close by and I really missed my babies." He murmured and I nodded.


    "Uh-okay." I looked away from his green orbs, i think he noticed my trying to get away from him. I had


    onlyst seen himst week in Richard''s office and honestly that was so awkward. If I could ask to


    never see him again, I would but he is the father of my kids. I made my bed now I must lie on it.


    "Daddy Daddy." I heard my kids say from the dinning room, i could only imagine how happy they are to


    see him.


    N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    "Hey little man and Princess, what are you doing ?" Angelo asked.


    "Watching mommy''s favourite movie." Ashton replied with his smart mouth. I knew they like this movie


    as much as i did. After all it was the movie I cried my eyes out to when I got pregnant and rejected.


    "Which movie is that ?" Angelo asked when I got inside the sitting room.


    "Mommy you know it ?" Ashley said giggling, they were now both seated on Angelo''sp as old as they


    are. I swear he spoils them so too much.


    "Love Rosie." I mumbled quickly looking away from his eyes. It seemed to hit us both like a ton of


    bricks. I remember the first time I watched it. At the time I would have never guessed my life would turn


    out this way not that I regretted it. I love my kids, i just regret who I had them with.


    *shback*


    "This movie is terrible." Angelo muttered and everyone in the theater seemed to give him a warning eye


    until he raised his hands out of defence.


    I was so into the movie, i didn''t notice Angelo putting his hand between my thighs. "Why don''t we move


    to that secluded corner." He whispered his breathe hot on my skin. I could feel myself already dripping


    wet, my panties were soaked just by each touch.


    The theater was not full infact it was fourty percent full which meant of alot of empty seats were


    everywhere. People were just dispersed. I walked to the secluded corner he talking about. I knew he


    was right behind me. We got to thest seat at that corner. "I''m going to sit then you will put your sexy


    ass on top." He said trailing my already hard nipples.


    "Angelo we can''t do it here." I mumbled.


    "We can, babye here." He smirked giving me a tiny kiss. "Live a little." Opening his belt, showing


    his already built up tent. It made me squeeze my thighs together.


    The movie was still going on and no one seemed to be paying attention to us as it was dark. Walking


    towards Angelo, my breath hitched as I noticed his hard thick dick already positioned and out for


    disy. I walked towards him facing the screen, he did all the work. Pulling my skirt up and pulling my


    panties down. His hands trailed from my butt to the folds in between making me moan incoherently.


    "You are soaking wet for me and I haven''t evenid a finger on you, L." He said squeezing my butt


    making me squirm. he positioned himself. As I sat on hisp, i felt it/ him sliding deep inside my core


    making me gasp. Now I was really seated and watching the movie which I couldn''t concentrate on at all


    as his? hands were on my hips continuously thrusting into me. My hands gripped onto the seat in front


    of me. As time went by, I was now the one moving up and down his dick while his hands held my butt.


    It was slow and careful not to make any squirmy noise with my wetness and his precum. I tried to


    controlled my moans but it slipped and everyone looked around. I stopped moving and pretended to be


    seated on top of my boyfriendsp as we watched the movie. Suddenly everyone went back to


    watching the movie. After some time, Angelomanded me to bend over from the seat and I looked


    at him with my mouth wide open. "Don''t open your mouth like that baby, God knows the things I want to


    do to you and that sexy body." He murmured squeezing my breasts with the fabric that I was wearing


    still on.


    I pulled up feeling his now sticky thick dick, dangling behind my butt. I bend over then suddenly he


    stood up and fucked me with so much force, it felt so good. His hands constantly gripped my butt


    cheeks and I knew I would have red marks the next day or I wouldn''t be able to sit my ass down. With


    onest stroke we both reached our climax, feeling him shoot his seeds inside me. I always loved that


    no matter what, Angelo thrived in making sure I got my climax even if it was before him. He knew how


    to pleasure a woman. He knew where to touch. I was panting for my breath. With the juiced flowing


    down between my folds, he took a napkins from the hotdogs we had previously bought and wiped me


    clean then right after pulled my panties up for me then my skirt down. I sat on the seat beside him with


    my stinging butt. He turned me to face him and kissed me with so much emotion.


    Looking around we noticed a guy not far from us beating his meat and right there and there I knew


    someone had been watching. "Let''s leave, i promise we will finish this movie again." He entwined our


    hands and I giddily smiled because I was inlove with him but it wasn''t mutual. I wish I knew that earlier..


    *End of shback*


    "Have you both watched it before ?" He asked the twins, his eyes desperately trying to find mine.


    "Yep loads of times." Ashton replied confidently, he gets it from his dad.


    "Mommy said she used to y it for us when we were in the stomach." Ashley added and it was really


    cute because two of her front teeth were missing.


    "Ah that sucks. I promised someone that I would finish it with them." He said he''s gaze looking at mine


    but I didn''t allow it took meet mine.


    "Uhm I''m going to shower, kids why don''t you finish the movie with your dad ?" I suggested walking


    away quickly. I heard the twins cheer.


    "Mommy can we have moresagna, while we watch the movie ?" I heard Ashton yell as I closed the


    bathroom door locking it behind me.


    "Uh yeah sure." I yelled back. I hated these stupid memories they just made me want to throw up


    because God I was such a fool. I was ashamed about the things I used to do for this man, all in the


    name of love. I would have followed him to the back of beyond. A big fool, the funny part is Angelo


    hatedsagna ever since he was a kid but when he tasted my cooking he instantly loved it. The irony.


    I just need a warm bath to erase these filthy memories.

    Raina Williams.


    I walked into the Italian restaurant wearing a ck dress that was in my opinion too revealing but Gray


    thought I looked banging because he picked it out. Gray was dressed in a formal suit because he had


    to go back to work right after. He looked so handsome with his blonde hair dishevelled ; he wanted


    them to think we just had office sex. God, what would I do without Gray and his crazy ideas ?


    Gray also said if they realised i had a boyfriend not just any boyfriend but a hot boyfriend they would


    back off about Angelo. He was right about that part, atleast I hope he was. I noticed them all seated on


    a table for eight clearly this was a fancy restaurant.


    "Hey Raina, d you could make it." Yasmine stood up to give me a hug.


    "And who is this ?" Leentje stated with a rather lust ful look.


    "Hi everyone, uhm this is Grayson boyfriend." I said proudly watching their faces filled with shock. Gray


    only winked and they all seemed to be hypnotized by his ocean blue eyes.


    "Hey Grayson, I''m Antota nice to meet you." Antota said fluttering her eyshes.


    "Nice to meet you all, likewise. I just thought I should drop Queen off, so I''m not really staying." He said


    in a sexy deep voice.


    - What happened to the other voice?


    "Queen ??" Linda questioned.


    "Raina means Queen so I prefer to call her queen." Heid a gentle kiss on my knuckles and my heart


    fluttered.


    "You should stay, Angelo ising over with Brad." Yaya insisted.


    "I will, I just need to make a few phone calls, excuse me." Gray grabbed his phone walking away then I


    wasn''t instantly pulled to sit down.


    "I didn''t know you had a boyfriend ?" Alma grinned.


    "A hot boyfriend." Linda added.


    "Is he American ?" Leentje seemed smitten.


    "He is really hot, where did you pick him up." Yaya asked and I couldn''t answer all the questions that


    were being flooded my way.


    "I''m sorry Alma, i have been meaning to tell you." I shrugged my shoulders. Before I could say anything


    else Grayson was back with a smirk on his face. He sat down next to me. "I''m backdies." He smiled


    showing off his pearly whites.


    "Oh there''s Angelo and Brad." Alma said and I turned back only to make eye contact with his green


    orbs but instantly looked away. Argh what are the chances that with everyone in the room, our eyes just


    always seem to holding each other like a poles of ma.


    "You have no idea how bad I would like to chop off his dick and feed it to the sharks." Grayson


    whispered in my ear and I almost spilled the wine, the waiter had given me. Everyone on the table


    seemed to be looking at gray and I with a watchful eye.


    "Please don''t do anything stupid." I whispered in Gray''s ear noticing all eyes were on us. We both


    seemed to shyly smile away. I didn''t notice that everyone had already sat down and greeted each other


    including Gray because of my thoughts.


    "Bloody Bullocks, You are Grayson Collins." Brad smiled broadly.


    "The one and only." Gray smirked with triumph.


    "Are you two together ?" He questioned seating on the opposite side of the table.


    N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    "Yes, Queen and I are together." Grayson said hoping to catch Angelo''s cold eye.


    " Grayson said hoping to catch Angelo''s cold eye


    "Am I missing something ?" I questioned.


    "Oh nothing. I have been doing business with the Collins this year." Brad added.


    "How''s the Derrick case going Raina ?" Brad asked and I felt Gray tense.


    "It''s going pretty well. He''s out on bail and we are still trying to figure out everything else." I added.


    "You are awyer ?" Antota asked with a shocked look.


    "Uhm yes." I replied.


    "That''s so cool, can Ie to your next trials. I mean damn I have always wanted to be part of the jury


    or whatever." She genuinely smiled.


    "She watches too many Bull episodes." Leentje said with in a bored tone.


    "I will tell you the official coart date but there is no jury." I added.


    "That would be awesome babe." Antota grinned.


    "Right can we order ?" Angelo said abruptly. I felt like that day at the dinner with his family. I felt like he


    didn''t want me there.


    "Is it okay if we leave.." I whispered to Gray. He had his arm right behind my chair.


    "No and that''s final." He said tugging a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. I could feel eyes drilling


    holes into my body. Angelo was watching me with a distasteful look.


    -


    The food was served and everyone talked about the wedding and all. I even learnt that Brad was the


    best man. Angelo had always told me alot about him but I never actually met him in person. He was a


    really charmingd with a british ent. There was alot ofughter even though Angelo seemed to be


    mad at me, i just decided to ignore him and have fun. Kennedy had also joined uster on, he was


    Alma''s husband always so sweet. He kept on making sure her chair was okay, was shefortable


    and all that cheesy stuff. When I was pregnant, i had to do that by myself with my swollen feet. I


    honestly looked like a walking whale.


    The question eventually popped up about how many kids, the engaged couple were nning to have.


    Yaya said probably two, she even giggled and said what are the chances that she might have twins as


    well since Angelo is a twin himself. It seemed I was the only one who missed the joke. Alma then


    frowned and added that she wasn''t having twins so that would be unfair if Angelo kept getting twins.


    Angelo didn''t seem interested infact he said he didn''t want kids anytime soon, the twins are already a


    handful bunch. While saying this he looked at me trying to reach my eyes but I looked away.


    Brad told stories about him and Angelo back in Manchester when they were in college, i gulped down


    and looked at my food because those were the same stories Angelo used to tell me whenever I was


    laid on his chest, in his arms, in his bed, naked. Like the slut I was to him.


    We had dessert then we decided it was reallyte and time to leave


    We had dessert then we decided it was reallyte and time to leave. Angelo watched me carefully


    without fault.


    I could feel him judging me right through and through


    I could feel him judging me right through and through. The twins were spending the weekend at his

    "May I know why my groom is drowning his sorrows in my hotel room at eleven pm." Brad asked in an


    amused tone. It sounded like an easy question with probably an easy answer but I didn''t know what to


    say...


    I would rather be here than at home with Yaya whining about the colors of the wedding theme.


    N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    "As the best man, I know there is something wrong. Are you having cold feet because that''s perfectly


    normal." He chuckled lightly.


    "Really ?" I furrowed my eyebrows adding more whiskey to my ss.


    "Yes it''s perfectly normal to feel like you can''t do it anymore." He spoke with confidence sitting beside


    me.


    "How would you know ? you''ve never been married before." I concluded taking a gulp of the bitter


    feeling of Hennessy.


    "Oh shoot me for trying to sound smart." He rolled his eyes.


    "Tell me something Angelo ?" He asked and I looked at him. He honestly looked concerned.


    "Who are you inlove with ?" The question hit me like a ton of bricks cascading down my head.


    "What do you mean ?" Iughed. "I''m in love with the woman I''m marrying isn''t it obvious." I


    deadpanned looking at him like he''s an idiot but deep down we all know who is the idiot.


    "It would be obvious if you would look at the woman you are marrying with the same look you give to


    Raina each passing moment." He said giving me a pat on the shoulder.


    "Really ? are we having this discussion right now." I faked augh but I knew, I wasn''t fooling anyone.


    "You know what i think ?" He paused. "I think you and Raina have something going on and Uh uh uh uh


    uh tut tut tut shhhhh don''t argue." He said shutting me up instantly.


    "Raina and I have nothing going on. She is handling the wedding better than I thought she would and


    she even suggested we became friends for the kids sake hell she has even moved on with her clients


    son....so professional." I said with genuine thoughts but it just ended up sounding a jealous bastard


    which I''m not.


    "I have to admit, she is a beauty." Brad said in a mesmerized tone.


    "Brad are you being serious right now ?" I scoffed.


    "Stop being selfish, you have been sleeping with that banging body since-" He added. "You took her


    innocence."


    "Whatever." I grumbled, thinking about her would just give me a hard on.


    "She is like beauty and the brains and that usually does note on the same package." He said


    thoughtfully.


    "Well I will be sure to tell her that my best friend is crushing on her, next time I see her." I said


    sarcastically.


    "Put in some good words for me." He added and I knew he was simply trying to get under my skin and I


    wasn''t going to allow him.


    "I sure will, that''s if she actually stays more than five minutes in my presence without looking away."


    "She is just trying to give you space and you should appreciate it." Brad said smiling broadly.


    "You know i don''t know if I''m being punished but everything that happens between us always brings


    back memories." I ran my hand through my hair. "You know the stories you told at lunch, well I


    remember telling her the same stories after I fucked her a lifetime ago."


    "How was i supposed to know you two use to serenade each other with college stories after ying


    hide my sausage." I instantlyughed.


    "Brad stop with the sarcasm, this isn''t the time." I chuckled taking a swig straight from the bottle of


    whiskey.


    "I forgot to say no pun intended." He said yfully punching my shoulder.


    "Right. That was definitely pun intended." I chuckled shaking my head.


    "Now I''m being serious. What is going on between you and Raina ?" Brad still insisted.


    "Absolutely nothing. I haven''t fucked her since four months ago." I let out a sigh because I''m sexually


    frustrated, of course Yasmine and I get on it everyday even twice a day but I''m not satisfied.


    "Whaat ? Four months ago and you have been with Yaya for-" i cut him off.


    "A year now." I shrugged.


    "I knew something was going on.." He gave him a betrayed look.


    "Look Brad, i just needed to get her out of my system." I gave a dumb excuse.


    "Oh right did it work ?" He rolled his eyes.


    "Uhm no." I admitted feeling defeated. "Does witchcraft exist because I really feel like I have been


    bewitched." that only earned me endlessughter from Bradley Murray.


    "Now I understand why you couldn''t stop eye raping her ? I felt like someone needed to remind you


    that your fianc??e is the one on your right hand side not the one who was sitted opposite you with her


    boyfriend." He added emphasis on the word boyfriend.


    "I get it." I said desperately wanting the conversation to end.


    "I just hope you are not making a mistake because this is your life Angelo, jokes aside. You are getting


    married and you need to get it together."


    "How do I do that because I will be seeing her for the rest of my life. She has this effect on me or rather


    on my dick." I sighed.


    "I think she has that effect on everyone with a Dick." Brad said absent-mindly.


    "I hate her boyfriend, i can''t help it."


    - he probably squeezes her butt the way I use to. Touching what is supposedly mine.


    "Angelo, you are something else buddy." Brad said giving my shoulder a pat.


    "Do you believed in polygamy ? because right now is a situation where that''s the only option."


    "What? No! I can''t take two wives that''s just insane." I couldn''t believe he had just suggested that.


    "Oh you and your dick will need to learn how to have self control around her." He chuckled.


    "She is in my head and I hate it. She is driving me nuts with her short nces; she can''t even look me


    in the eye. I moaned her name while fucking Yaya the other day and I know she heard me. She just


    doesn''t want to bring it up." I confessed.


    "Are you sure ? you are okay." He said in a amused tone.


    "I''m fine, I just-" i was cut off.


    "Trust me sleeping with her again is not going to get her out of your system. That''s just your excuse to


    have your cake and eat it." He seemed serious now.


    "Have you once thought about how much you have hurt this girl because trust me...I saw the pain her


    eyes whenever she broke eye contact with you." I had to admit, I have hurt her in so many ways and


    I''m still selfish enough to use her for sex.


    "You need to get yourself together, you both deserve happiness and you are toxic to each other. You


    need to let whatever you had go. Let her go." He paused. "I know you will probably deny the fact that


    there was alot of emotions when you two were together. She loved you and you treated her like a


    prostitute whom you paid for services through trips around the world. It''s safe to say that Raina and


    Angelo dated for two years but didn''t have a title to it." He concluded.


    "You took her to Paris. You bought her gifts. You didn''t always fuck her, you made love to her. You took


    her to dinner dates with your parents, your family. You took her ces. You made her feel special. You


    took her to the movies for fucks sake Angelo you even have a tattoo of her...tut tut tut don''t think I didn''t


    notice." I was dumbfounded.


    "You are basically getting over someone whom you don''t want to admit you had feelings for." I didn''t


    have to say anything because it felt to right. It was true maybe i did have feelings for her.


    "How ?" I questioned.


    "Raina means Queen right and you absolutely hate tattoos but you got one of a crown right below you


    chest on the left side and we all know hearts are on the left side. So since you got that tattoo four years


    ago, i have been asking myself who does that crown below to. Then today Grayson kept calling Raina,


    Queen. Bingo and we have a winnerdies and gentlemen." Heughed.


    "Goodness I can''t stand you Brad." Iughed at myself.


    "I know now that we have figured this out. You need to go home to your fianc??e she just texted me


    saying she is worried."


    "Right." I closed my eyes for a brief moment trying to consume everything.


    "Listen Angelo. We can choose who we like but when ites to those whom we love. I''m sorry but


    you have no say." He paused. "That''s a qoute by some smart person if it wasn''t Shakespeare but you


    get my point."


    "Thanks Brad." I sighed. I didn''t know if I was thanking him for being there or for helping mee to


    terms with my own feelings...


    "Anytime."

    "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear mommy." I instantly fluttered my


    eyes open feeling so confused.


    My phone kept buzzing off the hook, vibrating on the mattress but I decided to ignore it.


    "Happy birthday mommy." My angels said in unison as they brought me a cup cake with a little candle.


    That''s when it dawned onto me. Gosh it''s my fucking birthday, boy do I feel old. I was so busy caught


    up in everything, i didn''t even have time to think about it.


    I was surprised when my two angels sat beside me on the bed, asking me to blow out the candle.


    "Make a wish mommy." Ashley said and I blew out the candle with only one wish.?God may?I?never?


    be love''s fool ever again.


    "What did you wish for ?" Ashton asked curiously.


    "Uhm i wished for a chocte cupcake and here it is." I giddily smiled because God knows they made


    me really happy. I removed the candle and took a bite, showing them that I really loved the gesture.


    "I wished for you and Daddy to be together." Ashley added and I stopped chewing or rather I almost


    threw up.


    "Then we can be a normal family like other kids at school." Ashton muttered and my heart sinked.


    "Uh have you guys had breakfast because it''s almost seven and you need to be a school by eight." I


    jumped off the bed hoping they would forget about the previous conversation.


    "But mommy it''s your birthday." Ashton whined.


    "Yes and it''s a perfectly normal school day."? I teased them, giving them the strict motherly look but I


    ended upughing myself.


    "Go get ready, i will be out in ten." I instructed them and they jumped off the bed like the good kids they


    are. They were my pride and joy, seeing them happy and healthy honestly made me happy.


    My phone kept buzzing so I picked it up and it was my father. I instantly regretted not picking it up in the


    first ce. "Twenty-nine years ago a beautiful little girl was born. I named her Raina because she


    honestly looked like Royalty. Happy Birthday Raina, your mother and I love you and you will always be


    our little girl."


    "Thank you mom and dad." I snirveled, i felt like crying.


    "We are proud of the woman you have be so don''t ever doubt yourself." I heard my mother''s


    voice. This was just what I needed to get me going.


    "I love you both." Iughed whole-heartedly feeling happy and I haven''t felt like this in a while.


    "Have a good day honey." They said in unison before they hanged up. They were always the first to


    wish me a happy birthday, i guess this year the twins had beat them to it.


    I opened my messages.


    Happy birthday?Sis. You are amazing and I''ve always looked up to you. Loads of love and have an


    epic one.?x


    I found myself smiling after reading my brother''s message. I missed him so? much and I hadn''t seen


    him in a while. I hoped college was treating him well.


    Go?Shawty?it''s?your birthday. I?haven''t?forgotten babe happy womb escape day Queen. Sucks that?


    I''m?out of the state on your?b day?buhhhh?I?promise when?I?return. I will make it up to you.


    Grayson was honestly so crazy and I appreciated him for remembering all the little stuff I told him. He


    had a good memory and he was the best listener.


    I checked the rest of my messages they were from Facebook, obviously my co-workers and some


    people I went to college and high school with as well as close and distant rtives. There were multiple


    texts and missed calls from exactly 00: 07 am. I smiled broadly as I went to take a shower because I


    felt like my life was going in the right direction. My career, my kids, my friendship with Grayson and my


    family is all I will ever need.


    -


    After having breakfast with my babies and Maya wishing me a happy birthday showing me how the


    Mexican do it. I honestly felt adored but it was still a normal day. The world isn''t going to stop because I


    was born. I dropped off my kids at school and I think Mr. Meyers has a crush on me. He ims Ashton


    is always in some sought of trouble just so I end up in his office listening to his disciplinary hearings.


    Today he specifically followed me to my car just to give me flowers for my birthday which I found a bit


    creepy but whatever maybe he is just being nice. He is just a primary school principal who is nice and


    cares about his learners and their parents.


    - note the sarcasm.


    -


    Midday I was still working, this case honestly the biggest case I have ever dealt with. That''s why I


    needed Richard''s help, he has been in the industry for so many years.


    "Ms Williams, a delivery for you." I sighed because this was the seventh delivery I had received. From


    teddy bears to coffee mugs, you name it.


    "Just put it on the couch or whatever." I shrugged.


    "But it''s chocte." She frowned.


    "Just eat it." I bit on the bottom of my pen.


    "But it''s Belgium chocte looks super expensive. It''s from that guy Jake Rush." She said in awe


    reading the card.


    "Jake Rush ?" I tried to remember but It didn''t ring a bell.


    "Jake Rush, he was your client. The guy who was being sued by his publishingpany for copyright


    and whatever." She exined.


    "Oh Jake Rush the writer." I let out augh.


    "Don''t be silly, he seemed nice and his book?Not?waving but?drowning?is one of a kind." She said


    proudly. Of course, I remembered Jake Rush, he was a sweet heart, who reminded me of Ed Sheeran


    because of his red hair.


    "The teddy bear and the book ''Ten steps to bing a Great Lawyer'' is from Mr. Le roux." My heart


    instantly skipped a bit.


    "Oh you mean Richard." I asked.


    "Yes." She muttered and I sighed with relief because Goodness I didn''t want anything from Angelo. He


    was always crazy about giving me gifts even if it wasn''t my birthday. Thest time I spent my birthday


    with him before I got pregnant, he took me to Venice. I just didn''t want anything from him, nothing at all.


    I didn''t want to cross any boundary that we have surpassed in the past. I realised Angelo was big on


    giving me gifts to ease his guilty conscience.


    - Angelo is the past.


    Angelo Le roux.


    God knows I haven''t been able to function properly since I woke up. It''s her birthday and I have been


    trying to restrain myself from doing anything crazy like taking her to Venice or sending a hundred


    flowers to her office and making love to her until she can''t stand. I mean sex, obviously. Just to have


    her moaning my name while I worship her body like the queen she is.


    "Mr. Le roux are you okay because the scheduled meeting with the board members is about to start."


    My personal assistant snapped me out of dirty thoughts.


    "Uh Seth, I''m okay don''t worry about it." I ran my hand through my brte locks. "Is the ne


    ready ?" I questioned.


    "Yep and I''m sure Ms. Yasmine will love it." Seth replied with a broad smile. God why was he always


    such a happy person ? I mean I could really use whatever he is using.


    "I''m sure she will." i lied knowing this ne was not meant for Yasmine.


    "It will be delivered soon after your meeting and the deposit for will cost $2000 plus the diamonds-" i


    immediately cut him off.


    "Whatever it costs Seth, money is the least of my worries..." I stood up grabbing my mac book going to


    the boardroom.


    "Oh right Mr. Le Roux and Mr. Meyers called alerting me that Ashton was in trouble and might get


    suspended but Raina took care of it." Seth added trying to see if I would react aggressively.


    "Was that today ?" I asked.


    "Uh no it was a month ago but he specifically wanted to discuss this with the mother."


    Here we go again, men trying all their luck to get to talk to Raina. He''s a sick bastard, i knew it from the


    first parent-teacher conference, he had a thing for her and God knows she is so oblivious.

    "Tell him the next time anything happens at school, he speaks to me and not Raina." I growled out of


    frustration.


    "Right." He replied.


    "That will be all now, do you mind briefing me on today''s agenda as we go to the boardroom."


    "Sure Sir so the finance team and-" I wasn''t listening infact I wasn''t even there.


    - You make me lose my?self?control, Raina.


    -?insanity.

    "Don''t worry about it, Gray." I sighed.


    "No when Ie back, I''m throwing you a huge party." He eximed.


    "Parties are definitely not my thing but thanks for the red wine. You know I''m a sucker for it." The bottle


    was almost half empty and I couldn''t stop drinking. It''s my birthday, i should spoil myself. Especially


    even my kids are sleeping then it''s okay.


    "Pleasure Queen. Let me get going...kisses."


    "Bye." I slumped myself on the couch with now drinking straight from the bottle. Suddenly someone


    was at the door, just great ! it''s fucking eleven pm shesh can''t i get some peace.


    In my bootyshorts and a big t-shirt, i marched up to the door. It was getting kind of my blurry but


    whatever. Opening the door it was Angelo in his glory, looking handsome in his ck armani suit. Like


    why did he seemed to get handsome each and every fucking day. His chin with tiny stubble, it made


    him really handsome.


    "I know I''m not the person you want to see right now but Happy Birthday." He gave me a cheeky smile


    and somehow I saw myself smiling.


    At the devil, my conscience rang.


    "Thanks, now you may go home." I said rudely probably the alcohol giving me a boost of confidence.


    He''s eyes swept off from my legs to my eyes.


    "I know you want to get rid of me so fast, is your boyfriend there ?" He smirked and I felt like smacking


    him for everytime he has ever broke my heart.


    "No my ''boyfriend'' is not here." I made emphasis on the word boyfriend. Suddenly from the back, he


    brought out a ck box, it looked so extravagant and on top it was written Happy Birthday Raina in


    bold italics.


    "I hope you like it." He said not sure of what to say. I opened the door wider so he coulde in, i


    could hear his footsteps following right behind until I sat on the couch. Opening it, my heart shuddered


    probably the most beautiful ne I had ever seen. It had a small crown with tiny diamonds shaping


    it''s structure. No doubt this must have cost a fortune.


    "Thanks but I can''t take this, i closed the box and handed it back to him.


    "Why ?" He questioned.


    "I''m not worth it besides you didn''t have to waste your money. A birthday card would have been just


    fine or not saying anything at all." I shrugged my shoulders and he looked at me in disbelief.


    "I know you are mad at me, i just thought this would make up for it." He said the words slowly.


    "I''m not mad or angry at you." I furrowed my eyebrows.


    "Then why do you always avoid me when Ie over and you never look at me in the eye." He shifted


    closer to where I was sitted, making me feel nervous.


    "Oh my goodness Angelo, what do you want me to do ? kiss you everytime youe over and y


    happy family." I deadpanned.


    "Well the kiss wouldn''t be such a bad idea." He smirked and I felt like smacking him.


    "For once in your existence stop making me feel like a cheap whore, Angelo. It''s my birthday and I feel


    like you just ruined it. Go home because I''m not sleeping with you." I was now viciously angry. How can


    he be turned on by my talking like this.


    "I''m sorry." He sighed. "I''m such an arsehole I know."


    "Well I''m d you are aware of your traits." I added earning a hurt look from his green orbs.


    "You know what I''m really anxious to find out ?" He grinned changing the mood.


    "What ?" I snapped at him.


    "What did your boyfriend say about the tattoo, i mean my tattoo ?" that hit me like a ton of bricks.


    "Angelo don''t aggravate me...argh" I rolled my eyes and he moved closer much closer without my


    permission, he lifted my t-shirt up as his fingers traced on my inked skin.


    "I thought you would have removed it." He said touching the name written in italics Angelo mi amor. I


    could feel it and I know he felt it too, the sparks between both our bodies.


    "Well if I could afford it." I snapped pulling my t-shirt down.


    "Do you want to see yours ?" He offered me a mischievous smile as he shrugged of his zer. Leaving


    him in a dark blue shirt that made his muscles bulky.


    "No don''t, besides it''s


    no longer mine." I stopped him from unbuttoning further down.


    "Trust me - this - will always be yours L." He sat down closer enough to hold me in his arms, filling


    me with warmth. For the first time in a long time he called me L and it felt as if I had been yearning


    for him to say it for a long time.


    "Has she seen it ?" I gasped with horror, God if Yaya has then she must have every reason to hate me.


    "Yes she has and trust me she isn''t smart enough to figure that out." He said with a stern look. "Brad is


    the only person who has figured it out."


    "I think on your Bachelor party you should remove it." I shrugged.


    "That''s one thing I will never do." He seemed a bit taken back by my request.


    "I don''t know what we were thinking honestly getting permanently inked on each other''s skin." I


    grumbled with frustration and he looked at me with an amused look.


    "I know." He sighed. "We were inlove." He saidying a soft kiss on my lips after it had dawned onto


    me what had just happened I pushed him back.


    - i need to wake up this is crazy.


    Angelo has never said anything about his feelings ever.


    "Uhm you should go." I abruptly stood up trying to act like nothing just happened.


    - He is trying to lead me on because he wants to get me into bed.


    That bad?


    "You are cute when nervous, L." He chuckled kissing my temple as he grabbed his zer towering


    over my body. I bit my lip, trying to calm myself.


    "Don''t do that L, unless you want me to take you on four right here on the carpet. You know old


    habits die hard." He smirked and I felt my cheeks redden remembering how he would always take me


    on four in his office until my knees were red from the friction of the carpet. I promised Grayson that I


    would never allow him to touch me and I was going to stick to it. Even though I was about to give in..


    that''s what happens when you haven''t beenid in months.


    - sexual frustration.


    "Don''t forget your present." I handed him the box.


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Keep it." He said with a solemn expression.


    "Give it to your fianc??e or donate to an orphanage or something..." I suggested trying to forget


    everything that had just happened.


    "You wound me, Raina." He faked being heartbroken.


    "Whatever Angelo, FYI your acting skills are non-existent." I said walking him towards the door.


    "I will be sure to practice Ma''am." He said sarcastically.


    "Bye." I banged the door as soon as he was out the door.


    - drinking too much one does this to you, no more wine.

    ***


    Angelo Le roux.


    "Mr. Le roux, i assume Ms. Yasmine loved her gift." Seth questioned with a suggestive smile and


    honestly the gift was in my safe back at the apartment.


    - she rejected it. you. it. you.


    Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "She did." I nodded at him looking at the documents that he had set on my mahogany table.


    "Mhm so do I also get an invite to the wedding of the year ?" He grimaced.


    "What do you mean the wedding of the year ?" I furrowed my eyebrows.


    "Well the engagement has been all over my new feed on twitter and even on snapchat." He said


    sheepishly.


    "Oh.." I said with a sigh.


    "Do I get the invitation ?" He asked once again.


    "I will be sure to inform Yasmine." I concluded.


    "Thank you so much Mr. Le roux." He said with a huge grin. "I will being with Tristan." He added.


    "I know, you can''t stay away from him not even for a second infact if I fire one of you, i should just fire


    both of you." I joked.


    "Haha Mr. Le roux always the charmer." He chuckled shly, running his hand in his blonde quiff.


    Tristan was Seth''s boyfriend, he worked in the finance department. Honestly I think Seth was always


    happy because he was with someone whom he loved as cheesy as it sounds. The only time I had seen


    Seth in a bad mood, in all the three years he has worked for me...was when him and Tristan had


    decided to give each other space.


    "Hey, uhm Seth can I ask you a question ?" I said tapping on my pen.


    "Sure Mr. Rule." He chuckled seating in front of me, from across the table full of files and disrupted. "I''m


    sorry, I know you hate when I call you that. It''s just saying Le roux gets tiring so why not just say Rule


    anyways...I''m bbering so what did you want to ask me." He set his hands on the table. I decided to


    stand up as looking at the beautiful view behind me, i sighed then looked back at Seth.


    "Whatever am about to ask you is strictly confidential, okay ?" I questioned.


    "Of course, Mr. Rule but you are scaring me now. This sounds like those NCIS type of interviews." He


    layed backfortably on his seat.


    "What do you think of Raina ?" I asked. I wanted to hear what she was like...from someone else''s point


    of view atleast. Apparently Seth and Raina were acquaintances so this was like a survey, you could


    say.


    "Mhm, can I just say she is beautiful enough to make any gay man into a man." He said pursuing his


    lips.


    "She has an effect on anyone with a?Dick." Brad''s words rang in mind.


    "And ?" I pushed for him to continue because honestly I didn''t like other peopleplimenting on


    Raina''s beauty. Everyone is equally aware, we get it ; Raina Williams is beautiful.


    "She seems like a nice person." He added.


    "Seth, i want you to bepletely honest, okay so don''t sugar-coat anything." I summoned shoving my


    hands in my pockets.


    "I am being hundred percent truthful." He gave a wink.


    "You know what i think ?" He said and my ears instantly perked up.


    "It''s like you were both meant to be and I know you don''t like hearing this. Honestly your kids are


    beautifully made, you would make a beautiful family. Also Raina is a great mom, you should see her


    when she is with the twins." He cooed and hearing those words, I felt out of breath and even more


    confused.


    "Who are you?inlove?with ?" Brad''s words rang in my mind again.


    "You know i use to look at magazines and think wow, I like this couple better than Kim and Kanye. That


    was before I got this job. I honestly don''t know why you broke up but I''m quite happy if Yasmine makes


    you happy." He added. It''s true what Brad had said the other day, people thought Raina and I were


    dating.


    "You were like the boyfriend anyone ever wanted, you know. When you took her to Venice and Paris,


    you became every girls dream. Not to sound nosy or anything but the pictures were leaked so yeah."


    "It''s okay. Privacy is not something I get." I chuckled lightly and he nodded.


    "That sucks but I wouldn''t mind the publicity." He grimaced. You would think I felt ufortable with


    Seth but I didn''t. He was funny and very nice.


    "I hate to break your perfect image of me and Raina but-" i paused walking back and fourth around my


    huge office. "But Raina and I weren''t dating."


    As soon as these words left my lips, he gasped. "It was more sex than anything and I knew she was


    inlove with me but I denied her the privilege of actually being in a rtionship."


    "Oh that poor sweet girl." He paused in thought. "Is that why you are marrying another woman ? Raina


    wasn''t the one right because you were with her for so many years but you didn''t even give her time of


    the day. You were with Ms. Yasmine for a year then the following year you proposed." He sighed talking


    to himself more than anything, he wanted to make sense of the whole situation.


    "Then I made her pregnant and paid her off to get an abortion which of course she didn''t and I thank


    God for that." I groaned feeling anything but embarrassed when I saw Seth looking at me with a


    somber expression.


    "You are my boss but I have to say this... Mr. Le roux you are an arsehole." I did expect some sort of


    insult but when it came I wasn''t ready for it.


    "I know Seth." I ran my hand through my jet ck hair.


    "I''m just happy that moment is over. You moved on and she moved on." He looked sad while saying


    this. "I guess it''s true what they say one mistake can ruin your entire life." He smiled then almost


    immediately frowned.


    "Her biggest mistake was you." that felt like being stabbed multiple times on the same wound.


    "Who knows maybe if you had not met, as beautiful as she is. She would have been married by now


    and you know all the good stuff life has to offer." He shrugged.


    "Uhm i guess you are right." was all I could muster.


    "Raina is such a strong woman, i admire her honestly." He added.


    "You probably hate me now." I sighed.


    "No, I''m just shocked, Mr. Le roux. I just thought you and Raina were the perfect couple but I guess not.


    This just proves life is not a fairy tale." I felt horrible, it was as he every word he said was a bullet


    aiming directly towards me.


    "I think you stole someone''s princess before the actual prince had arrived. No no no?she kissed a frog


    and it didn''t turn into a prince...it remained a frog." He looked devastated, he didn''t look bubbly like


    before. I felt really like every word was taking its tore on me.


    "I think I was inlove with her." I said absent-mindly.


    "No, Mr. Le roux that was not love! You were not inlove with her or anything because when you love


    someone you don''t put them through such crap." it was the first time he had used fowlnguage


    because I knew how he absolutely distasted it. Was it that bad that even Seth was now cursing...


    "For the record please inform Ms. Yasmine that I work for you and not for her so she shouldn''t sent me


    around like an errand boy." He drastically changed the subject.


    "What ?" I questioned because I had no idea about any of this.


    "Since we are being honest and all. Mr. Le roux I hate Ms. Yasmine, she is an aggravating,


    judgemental bitch and I''m d you left Raina for her because birds of the same feathers flock together.


    Toxic people, one side. Now if you would excuse me, i would like to go back to my desk and do my job.


    Nevermind the wedding invitation." He pursued his lips. I was at loss for words, i really was a terrible


    person and I don''t know why it took me so long to realise it.


    I will have to live with this guilt forever.

    Raina Williams.


    "Thanks for showing me around Los Angeles. It''s really beautiful here." Antota smiled admiring the


    view around the park. She asked if I could show her around the city since Yasmine had been busy and


    I didn''t mind so I did.


    "It''s the least I could do." I gave her a smile with my pearly whites. The park was the best ce to just


    think, the old men ying chase on the other side while cyclists continuously rode their bicycles past


    us. It was much greener than anything. It was just a beautiful atmosphere to be around.


    "Hey, I''m sorry about the other time-" i immediately cut her off, knowing exactly what she was going to


    say and I wasn''t really one to hold grudges.


    "It''s okay, you were just defending your friend. I would have done the same thing really." I shrugged.


    "Honestly you are so brave being part of the wedding of someone you were once in love with." She


    smiled lightly giving me a pat on the shoulder.


    "I don''t love him anymore so it''s much easier." I added. Honestly I don''t understand why I settled to be


    treated like crap ?


    "I know Yasmine is my friend but Raina, we both know she is in it for the Reputation and money." She


    said taking a picture of the view in front of our bench.


    "You know the German saying a rtionship is for two and three is crowd." I muttered.


    "I know, i know but I can''t seem to shake off the way he looked at you during that dinner." She took a


    snap at me.


    "- Hey I thought the camera was for the view not me." I giggled facepalming as she snapped even more


    pictures.


    "Well I made a genuine friend so I wanted a picture." She said taking a look a the filmstrip of the picture


    previously taken.


    "And here I was thinking you were a designer and not a photographer." I said sarcastically. She gave


    me a lopsided smile. "I thought so too but I think I''m starting to like photography more. It''s really


    mediocre considering I went to school for designing only to want to be a photographer so I don''t pay


    much attention to it."


    "My dad always says when you enjoy the things you do, you do them well." I muttered proudly


    remembering my father.


    "Well your father seems like a wise man." She said.


    "I would like to think so too, he is actually a pastor back home in Ohio." I tugged a few strands of my


    hair behind my ear.


    "That''s so cool, preachers kid." She teased pinching my cheeks. Goodness I had never met someone


    so childish but I liked how she was just generally being herself all in all.


    "Stop Antota." I giggled my cheeks probably beetroot red by now. Then she snapped another


    picture from the side angle and I wasn''t aware or quite ready for it.


    "Now you are acting like a tourist and you are really going to attract thieves." I said mywyer side


    showing itself.


    "I''m from South Africa, Jozi Johannesburg... crime is basically culture there so this doesn''t scare me


    Ray ray." She quirked a brow. I was at loss for words since no one ever called me Ray ray, her new


    profound nickname was cute.


    "Really well then noted, I''m never visiting South Africa thanks for the warning." I said with a grin.


    "Goodness Raina you should get out of your shell, those are the moments that make an experience


    worth remembering." Sheughed. "I remember when I was walking down town ghandi squre on my


    phone then a someone who was pretending to be jogging, ran past me and grabbed my phone. I


    couldn''t even catch up to him but I was like whatever It was a sign I needed to upgrade to the new


    iPhone 6." She exined.


    "That''s horrible but still I would have ran after him or reported him to the police." I said and she threw


    her head back inughter.


    "Here''s a piece of advice Ray ray, if anything goes missing in Mzansi, forget about it. You will never see


    it again unless they sell it back to you or its on disy for sell." She shrugged.


    "The police.." I added.


    "Haha this is not FBI or NCIS well 90% of them are just so unfit infact they don''t care about their job."


    She said snapping more pictures.


    "But I wouldn''t change South Africa for any ce because those little things make it what it is and that''s


    home." She exined.


    "Now I really think South Africa is a really interesting ce." I thought.


    "Anyways where is that your Hottie of a boyfriend ?" She grinned.


    "Argh He''s in Washington, I''m not sure when he will be back." I replied.


    "Business trip ?" She asked and I nodded. "Well are you sure he isn''t up to something else because


    business trips are excuses to-" i let out augh, at the sardonic thought that Gray is cheating because


    one : we ain''t even in a rtionship in the first ce and two : he ys for the other team. Impossible.


    "No, i trust him alot. He wouldn''t." I said inwardly smiling.


    "I think Angelo is still hang over you." She said waiting for my reaction and it was a bluffingugh. How


    can he be hang over me when he wasn''t even hang over in the first ce.


    "Let me let you in on a little secret." I shifted on my seat making myselffortable. "See Angelo as


    you get to know him, he is apulsive liar." I exined thinking about how he thought telling me he


    was inlove with me would get me to envelope his member between my thighs.


    "He leads people on, he makes you think the feeling is mutual then he pulls aways and let''s you know it


    was a one sided feeling." I said calmly and she listened attentively.


    "He is so good with words, he will make you think otherwise but-" i paused speaking from experience.


    "It is just best to ignore his mediocre attitude." I said genuinely because this advise was working for me.


    "Do you think he is deceiving my friend as well ?" She gasped and honestly I was talking for myself not


    Yasmine but now I wasn''t sure just maybe.


    "No no I''m sure he loves her." I gulped down a lump on my throat as I let those words slip off my


    tongue.


    "I doubt it." She added. " They both don''t love each other and I don''t know when they will realise it


    maybe twelve years into the marriage and kids are involved." She shrugged her shoulders and I just


    kept quiet. Thanking God that I wasn''t in that situation anymore, i can only imagine how heartbroken


    and hurt one of them will be when it finally happens.


    I''m honestly happy with the way my life has turned out. My twins are the only reason for my strength to


    face all these pain. They make me want to be a better person for them and no one else.

    Angelo Le roux.


    "Yaya stop." I said turning away from her. "Remember you said you wanted to wait for our wedding


    night." I added but the truth is, I didn''t feel aroused, i didn''t want to sleep with her.


    "I know, it''s just-" she pouted climbing off me.


    "It''s okay." I gave her an assuring smile. I didn''t understand why it took a long time for my dick to stand


    up whenever I was with her but it didn''t even take a second whenever I was with Raina. Even if she


    had not touched me, her voice sent electric waves into my body.


    "We need to get going my mom said we should be there by five pm." I stood up while checking my wrist


    watch. She immediately frowned. "Babe your mom is kind of boring, you would rather hang out with her


    than have fun here with me ?" She said batting her eyshes flirtatiously.


    "Yasmine, she is my mom. I don''t know what went down with your parents but I adore mine." She


    wasn''t even inviting her parents to the wedding and that said alot about their rtionship. I let out an


    exasperated sigh. "Are youing or not? So I can tell her not to include your te." I questioned.


    "I don''t even have an outfit." She whined and I mentally rolled my eyes, i was getting sick of her and I


    didn''t want to. I wanted to convince myself that all couples go through this before their wedding. All


    couples start showing their true colors before the wedding day.


    "It''s just dinner with my parents and Brad, you don''t need an outfit for that." I felt like I was talking to my


    teenage daughter.


    "It''s just dinner with my parents nywe nywe nywe..." she mimicked my voice. "ANGELO YOU DON''T


    GET ME, I''M NOT RAINA WHO JUST WAKES UP AND DRESSES UP IN ANY SHITTY CLOTHING. I


    HAVE CLASS, ISN''T THAT WHY YOU CHOOSE ME OVER YOUR FUCK BUDDY FOR YEARS ?"


    She yelled waving her arms in all sorts of ways that just aggravated me even more.


    "Why does this even have anything to do with Raina ?" I asked her, my voice bing deeper


    because I was on the verge of losing my shit.


    "THAT''S BECAUSE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THAT HOE-" she yelled.


    "What has she ever done to you ?" I stared at her trying to contemte what I had just gotten myself


    into.


    "She has your attention, she just has you on her leash-" Yasmine was suddenly sobbing and I felt bad.


    "Oh and you had sex with her when we were still dating right ?" She asked but I was sure she knew the


    answer to the question she was asking. I couldn''t say a word, nothing was good enough to say. A part


    of me wanted to admit it and another part of me wanted to deny it.


    "Alma told me that you had slept over at her ce when I went to New York Fashion week." She said in


    a much calmer voice. "Did you enjoy it so much because that''s all you have been moaning when we


    are having sex ?" She let out a shakyugh. She was clearly hurt but I didn''t regret anything especially


    being with Raina that night, I would do it again.


    "I''m leaving, you will find me there if you decided toe ?" I grabbed my car keys and banged the


    door behind me. Immediately after I heard ss shatter, i wasn''t going to talk to her when she was still


    in this state. For all I know she was crazy enough to kill me and I wasn''t patient enough to deal with


    her. I didn''t understand why I wasn''t taking this as seriously as I should. Infact i only seemed calm


    about the whole situation.


    -


    Raina Williams.


    "Kids go y with Fierdo, outside." Martha instructed the twins and they continuouslyughed.


    "Okay gran." They yelled in unison and Fierdo sternly barked and wagged his tail. It was really cute.


    Martha had asked me to help her bake a couple of cakes and cookies for the charity event she was


    hosting at the church. Time went by so fast, Martha even taught me a new Dutch recipes. Weughed


    alot, i didn''t know why but I honestly adored this woman and I know she did too.


    "Daddy Daddy daddy." I heard the twins yelling on the other end of the house. I immediately frowned,


    no one had told me that he would be here.


    "Angelo you are already here ? where''s Yaya ?" Martha asked wiping the flour off her hands so she


    could give her son a hug.


    He''s gaze was on mine and I knew it even though, I wasn''t looking at him. "Hey mom." He hugged his


    dear mother and I just awkwardly made myself busy.


    "Uhm i was just about to leave, Martha thank you so much." I said immediately before he said anything


    else.


    "Nonsense darling you should stay." Martha said but I wasn''t going to take that after what happened


    last time.


    "Where is Yasmine ?" She asked Angelo who didn''t seem like himself.


    "I''m here, I''m here." Her voice came out from no where. I could see the disappointment on both Martha


    and Angelo''s faces. "Brad is here too." They both entered the kitchen. I removed the messy apron and


    grabbed my cars keys.


    "And where exactly do you think you are going ?" Yaya challenged me standing tall with her six inches


    Louboutin.


    "I don''t want to intrude so I should just leave..." I said in the most calm voice.


    "You should stay Raina." Brad gave me a quirky smile.


    "Shut up Brad." Yaya snarled at him before turning back to me. "I think you have intruded enough


    considering you have been fucking my fianc??." She crossed her arms. I was embarrassed because


    this was in front of Angelo''s mother who saw the best in me suddenly Angelo''s father appeared on the


    doorway of the huge kitchen.


    "What''s with all the noise ? and youngdy mind yournguage. My grandkids are here." He towered


    over her with his 6''4 height.


    "So you condon Angelo and her cheating on me ? does that sound okay to you ?" She shook her


    blonde waves in disbelief.


    "You are no longer my bridesmaid and as far as I''m concerned you are not invited to my wedding and I


    don''t ever want to see you near my husband unless you are bringing your filthy kids-" i immediately


    have her a hot p on her left cheek.


    "Call me a hoe, a slut whatever you want but don''t you dare talk about my kids like that. You can have


    Angelo, he is all yours. Does he look like someone who is into smart Brtes with a proper career, no


    he is into dumb blondes like you, so congrattions you won even though it was wasn''t apetition."


    I continued walking away and I wasn''t going to leave my kids with this witch.


    "I''m going to charge you with assault." She said with her hand on her left cheek.


    "Go ahead, thew is something I work with everyday so good luck." I smirked and I think I saw


    Richard smile and Martha as if they were proud of me. Brad wanted to burst into tears fromughter.


    "I''m just going to leave with Raina." Brad said awkwardly.


    "Angelo you are just going to let her get away with it ?" She looked at him.


    "Shut up, Yasmine. I can''t even stand you right now." Angelo said in an aggravated tone.


    I went to get my kids and immediately left while reversing out of the driveway. "Mom, I''m proud of you."


    Ashton grinned. "You beat the witch." Ashley giggled in the back seat. At that moment I knew this was


    something I should have done a long time ago. It felt good to be in control.

    *shback*


    Yasmine and I had been avoiding each other for days, residing in the same home didn''t make it easy. I


    knew she wanted to me apologise but I was also waiting for her apology. She didn''t treat Raina with the


    respect that she deserved. Speaking of Raina Williams I had notid my eyes on her ever since a


    month back when the chaos urred back at my parents home.


    "Yasmine, we need to talk." I sat across her as she painted her nails.


    "Yes, we do." She murmured closing to the cap of the nail Polish bottle.


    "Yasmine-i-i-i-" I was ready to break this wedding off, i couldn''t marry someone whom made me more


    stressed than anything. I thought she was the one but no I was wrong.. it was just infatuation for the


    moment and the sooner I had realised it, the better.


    "I''m pregnant." She whispered.


    "Angelo, I''m pregnant." She repeated. I was shocked beyond shocked. It definitely wasn''t joy, i couldn''t


    be having a third child. I just wasn''t ready.


    "No-" i abruptly stood up. I had been careful with Yasmine, i know i had. She was obviously trying to


    test me.


    "Angelo you are going to be a father, again. I see how much you love the twins and how good you are


    to them." She was beside me, her hand gently massaging my shoulder. I couldn''t think straight this had


    to be a joke, i wasn''t ready for another child but I wasn''t going to put her through what I put Raina


    through. I wasn''t going to tell her to remove it. I wasn''t going to leave her helpless. I wasn''t- i had to


    man up atleast be there for this child.


    "Angelo ?" She brought me out of my daze.


    "That''s wonderful." Ofcourse the words tasted sombering out of my mouth. It seemed like this


    wasn''t the first time a woman had told me these words before.


    *End of shback*


    Here I was standing a two months after in front of my own reflection in a tuxedo. "This one looks good


    right ?" Brad asked behind me fixing his bow tie and I gave a firm nod.


    "Don''t sulk Angie.." Brad said thest part in a thick British ent.


    "I don''t really care whatever suit, i wed in. What time is it ?" I asked Brad.


    "Almost four pm." He said looking at his wrist watch.


    "Oh shit shit shit shit..." I quickly began unbuttoning my white dress shirt.


    "What the bloody hell ?" Brad bellowed in a confused manor.


    "Ashton Ashton, oh shit Ashton is going to be so mad at me." I said in a panicked voice.


    "Yasmine will even be more mad ?" He gave me a quirky grin and I looked at him with a confused face.


    "What do you mean she will be mad ? This is Ashton''s first football match, I''m already twenty-minutes


    late." I grumbled.


    "Today is also your unborn child''s first ultrasound." Brad said in a low tone and I was instantly caught


    off guard.


    "No, that''s actually on Thursday mate." I chuckled but he remained still.


    "Angelo, today is Thursday." He said looking at his iPhone X that he had recently bought a week ago.


    Brad was one person who was always amazed with technology and always wanted to keep up. "I have


    the timetable right here on my calender, the grooms fitting that we are doing right now, the decor, the


    food tasting, the cake tasting, the car venue...I have it all right here as your best man and right hand


    man." Brad said showing me the dates on his phone calender. I was caught out of daze.


    "But Ashton-" i ran my hand through my wet hair, today had been so busy I hardly had time to do


    anything like to dry my hair.


    "Ashton can wait, you know how Yaya is." Brad gave me aforting smile and I sighed.


    "We should probably get going.." He said and I nodded sadly. Brad called the four other grooms man


    and informed them that I had to leave but he would stay to check on the design and what not. I was


    really lucky to have chosen Brad as my best man, he was well organized and had my interests at heart.


    But I had let Ashton down.


    Raina Williams.


    "Go Ashtonaldinho !!!" Gray yelled from the bleachers. It seemed to encourage Ashton to y harder.


    "Where is thating from ?" I giggled.


    "Ronaldinho the Ser legend." He said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.


    "Right." I looked at all directions, Angelo must have been runningte.


    "Uncle Gray, can we get some ice cream ?" Ashley said pulling on Grayson''s designer shirt.


    "Calm down little one, this is Louis Vuitton." He said faking a gasp. "Come on pups." He held her small


    hand in his as they made their way towards the ice cream man. All the women here seemed to be


    jealous of Grayson and I, well I was getting used to the attention that Grayson brought with him. He


    was a Collins after all, everyone thought his father was a murderer and they also thought something


    was going on between us. We looked like the perfect family, Ashton ying ser and Gray taking


    Ashley for ice cream but this just wasn''t it. This was Angelo''s ce but he didn''t want to be apart of it,


    he never wanted it from the day he told me that I should abort my babies.


    Deep in my thoughts, i soon realised other parents were running to their sons. I stood up and made my


    way down the bleachers.


    "What''s wrong Ash ? your team scored didn''t they ? I''m so proud of you baby." I hugged him and ruffled


    his hair quite a bit.


    "Dad didn''te." Ashton said sadly.


    "Uh-" before I could say anything, Grayson came with Ashley. "Hey Ronaldo, here''s ice cream for the


    winning man." Gray muttered with triumph.


    "Thanks Uncle Gray but I like Messi. Call me Messi." He giggled taking the ice cream, for a while it


    seemed this had taken away all the sadness he had been feeling.


    "Ashley did you see how I kicked the ball like Neymar ?" Ashton said in an excited tone. Ashley was in


    Grayson''s arms and Ashton was walking beside me. He didn''t want the other kids to tease him for


    being carried by his mommy. I felt like my baby was growing so fast.


    Ashley shook her head. " Mommy what is a Neymar?" She questioned her blue eyes glistening with


    innocence and her blonde hair making her look even more adorable like an angel, my angel.


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Girls are dumb." Ashton muttered under his breath, i didn''t want to scold him because I knew this was


    him taking out his anger on his sister because his father didn''t show up to his first match. He certainly


    has other priorities now and I shouldn''t bother him.


    *shback*


    "I''m so jealous, Raina." Alma said rubbing her baby bump.


    "Why? ain''t you happy to be having a new born baby soon." I asked.


    "Well Angelo and Yasmine are also having a baby.." she muttered under her breath and I almost


    chocked on my saliva.


    "OH-" I gave her a small smile. Angelo and I had not held a proper conversation with each other for


    over two weeks so I wasn''t surprised. My worst fear was that my babies would easily be reced


    because as much as Angelo loves the twins he doesn''t love me but imagine how much he will love


    Yasmine''s child since he already loves her.


    "I''m so sorry I didn''t mean to-" She pouted realising what she had done.


    "No Alma, it''s fine. I''m honestly happy for them nothing is more beautiful than having a child of your


    own trust me, I''m aware of that. I might not be on good terms with them but I have nothing against their


    child, the twins potential brother or sister." I said in a mutual tone.


    "Wow atleast you are taking it lightly."


    *End of shback*


    Angelo has new priorities, i was well aware of that.

    ***


    Raina Williams.


    I had not seen Angelo for a while now, neither had the twins. I understood that he had other things to


    do like the wedding and taking care of his pregnant fianc??e. What hurt the most is that he would be


    doing all these things for her that he never did for me. He deprived me off that joy. He deprived me of


    that happiness but he will give her that and all his attention. I had to go with my parents for all or rather


    most of my appointments, my swollen feet- he will be massaging Yasmine whenever she requests of it.


    I made it without him, i don''t need him. I can take care of my kids and nothing else will matter. The way


    Ashton was so hurt a week back, it broke my heart. He promised to take him out the very next day with


    Ashley butter canceled, he said he was caught up with something.


    "Raina ?" Derrick brought me back to daylight. Dressed in his ck armani sleek suit and a white shirt,


    he seemed to look like the Derrick we all know from the magazines.


    "Derrick, I''m so sorry.." I blinked quite a bit. "Please take a seat ?" I offered.


    "You can''t be this distracted when we have an uing day in court." He made a friendly remark or


    rather a friendly reminder.


    "No no no certainly not." I pryed.


    "Well then I hope you are ready, after our meeting for thest couple of days you should be." He said in


    an arrogant tone.


    "If you have told me everything that I need to know then I guess I can work with that." I prised on his


    conscience to open up. I knew he had told me everything that I needed to know, i just wanted to be


    sure so that I don''t look like an absolute fool in court.


    "I have paid for Eric Winters funeral, infact I have even paid his family an amount onto that, to make


    them stable for a life time." Derrick muttered proudly.


    "Yes, I''m well aware but you have to understand you took away their twenty-nine year old son. Money


    isn''t going to do it. They might have taken your offer but they still want you in jail." I exined and he


    only seemed to be mad listening to what I had to say.


    "Those bastards." He muttered.


    "You have to control your temper, Remember we don''t want the judge thinking you can''t."


    "I know." He sighed in defeat. "I know.."


    "You have to show remorse." I added.


    "Yes, show remorse and not get angry by anything stupid they say on that stand. Got it !" He recoiled


    quietly.


    "I have the results on Eric''s remains and yes he was high and very much drunk." I said taking out the


    yellow envelope from my top cab drawer and handing it to him from across my mahogany desk.


    "Is it enough ?" He questioned and I knew exactly what he meant.


    "No its not enough but that is why I have a witness. His name is Fabio Carazo-" i throw him another file.


    "Bartender at Lavida night club, he can testify because he was there the night Eric was at the club. He


    had a couple of shots andined a bit about how his miserable his life was and how he wanted to


    commit suicide and that''s as much as we need to get your name cleaned up." I gave a triumph smile


    and he returned a smirk. "We could just say he deliberately walked into a moving car."


    "I''m impressed Raina." Derrick stood up towering over my height. "But I will be more impressed after


    I''m officially set free."


    "Damn right, you can count on it." I stifled augh. Suddenly his phone started ringing, then I gave him


    a nod to head on and answer while I get busy.


    "Cherry, honey I''m with mywyer right now." He forced a smile.


    "Yes, oh certainly." He said volubly.


    "I will be right there." He said ending the call.


    "Raina thanks alot but I have to be on my way. That was Cherry my soon to be fianc??e if I make it out


    of jail. I will certainly propose." He grimaced.


    "Oh, marriage again." I murmured without thinking, this was going to be Derrick''s sixth wife in his entire


    life. Grayson''s mother had been the second wife it didn''t evenst for atleast five years.


    "Don''t be like that Raina, Cherry is different. You know Cherry Macay the Filipino actress, you must


    know her." He gave a lopsided smile and I didn''t want to rain on his parade. I definitely knew her if he


    was talking about the Cherry Macay who had a graceful body and warm brown eyes but most of all


    was way younger than Derrick Collins. She had often been on the front cover for vogue and other


    online magazines. She was definitely one for the spotlight.


    "I know her." I forced a smile.


    "She is wonderful Raina." He chuckled to himself. "Grayson and yourself should meet her."


    "Well Grayson-" i was interrupted by the door opening. What happened to my personal assistant ?


    "Grayson did what ?" Gray walked in dressed in a sleek designer suit. He looked handsome, he took


    graceful steps towards his father and I.


    Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "I was just saying you and Raina here should meet Cherry."


    "Father, i have told you time and again. I do not wish to meet your flings." Grayson rolled his eyes.


    "Now now dear son, this might be your future step mother; better start respecting her now." Derrick said


    frantically.


    "I only have one mother and she is dead." Grayson said ring at his father who seemed taken back.


    "You would know that obviously if you had attended the funeral or maybe if you had actually stuck


    around in my life." Gray said sarcastically. I felt horribly bad, was this exactly what would happen if I


    ever passed away. Angelo would continue his life with his new flings and my kids forgotten and taken to


    a boarding school while he lived a perfect life. I wouldn''t allow that, he had already abandoned them


    while they were alive infact the minute he knew they existed, he wanted them gone.


    "Grayson Collins, i am still your father so don''t you dare speak to like that." Derrick said frankly


    frustrated by Grayson''s attitude while on the other hand Gray was fuming with anger, his eyes crimson.


    This was indeed a touchy subject that I did not want to intervene in.


    "Well father I hope you end up in prison where you belong and i will dly throw you and your Filipino


    girl friend an extravaganza wedding. We will see if she even wants you by then because it''s likely she


    won''t and you know what else I''m gay." Grayson smirked at his father''s shocked fret expression.


    "What did you say ?" Derrick asked slowly.


    "I''m gay and you would be certainly aware of it, if you didn''t ship me off to a boarding school in


    Australia miles and miles away and alone after my mother''s death." He said in haughty but rather fret


    tone.


    "I''m leaving speak to me when you are in your right mind." Derrick flounced out of my office without


    another word. He seemed shocked, he seemed taken aback, he seemed hurt beyond anything, he


    seemed to have regrets that had no solutions, it seemed his past was following him.


    "Atleast now you can now wear dolce and Gabbana without him questioning why?" I mumbled and


    Gray gave me a toothy smile before pulling me in for a hug. My bestfriend has just went through his


    worst fear and it wasn''t as bad as he thought it would be. He was out of the closet, it must have been


    suffocating.

    "I wonder if it''s a little girl or boy?" My fianc??e said rubbing her invisible baby bump.


    Frankly I do not care because I already have a little boy and girl. My pride and joy, Ashely and Ashton


    Le roux. My mind replied in my head, ofcourse i would not say that out loud.


    "Whatever gender, I''m happy with it." I mumbled parking in the driveway for the Bridal shop, i wasn''t


    getting in, she insisted she couldn''t drive herself because her feet were swollen and she couldn''t do


    much since the pregnancy.


    "Now now baby you are going to ruin mommy''s wedding dress, that''s why we need to get married soon


    before you start showing...right daddy?" She was speaking while running her hand on her t belly then


    she turned to me and I gulped down not knowing what to say. The wedding was already a week away


    and I just couldn''t find my happiness, i was just getting cold feet or rather another person had already


    imed my heart and happiness.


    "Tell me when I should pick you up okay?" I said giving her a perk on the cheek and she nodded. This


    was an unbelievable sight, who ever thought that Yasmine Bruyne would be this happy to have a child.


    I wasn''t buying it or maybe i just needed a reason to get out of this mediocre alliance.


    As soon as she went out of my car, i waited until she got in the shop before driving off. I knew exactly


    where I needed to be. I had not seen my kids in about two months which wasn''t entirely my fault things


    had been hectic. I knew damn right Raina would yell at me and hell, i was ready for it as long as she


    would forgive me. It didn''t matter. I was out of the country for about three days, it was entirely business


    but also an escape from what is going on in my life. I feel like I have no control over whatever that is


    going on. I feel like I''m being entirely driven by another force because this isn''t what I want or maybe


    sometimes it is. I don''t know, God knows that I don''t.


    *shback*


    "L ?" I whispered looking at her almost sleepy body thatid on top of mine...


    "Angelo ?" She whispered, her eyes instantly blinking open.


    "Have you thought about the future ?" She suddenly asked, i caressed her ck soft hair tucking it


    behind her ear and giving her a light kiss on her forehead.


    "Never mind the future, let''s mind right now, this moment." I held her close feeling her erect nipples on


    my bare chest, i instantly felt hard. I could never get tired of her, never in my wildest dreams.


    "Angelo ?" She giggled when I suddenly flipped us over, leaving me on top of her voluptuous body her


    bare thighs open for me while my length Pointed north. Her lips seemed so inviting, her second lips


    seemed even more wet and inviting. I didn''t know which one to take first, she blushed looking away


    from my eyes.?


    "Angelo, what are we ?" She asked when I was about to crush my lips onto hers. "We are friends with


    benefits." I murmured kissing her neck.


    "I want more...it''s been over six months Angelo." She moaned.


    "You know this isn''t my thing, L." I said with an exasperated sigh.


    "But you were dating Cami whatever or Danie just two weeks ago." She pushed me away pulling


    the white sheets over her body.


    "I wasn''t dating Cami Hedstrom, she was just a fling." I rolled my eyes at the jealous girl whoid


    beside me.


    "Yes you were. Angelo if you can date all these women and still be with me behind closed doors then I


    don''t want this anymore." She mumbled wrapping the white Sheet around her body picking up the


    remnants of her clothing.


    "Babye here ?" I called her and she pouted her lips.


    "I''m tired of whatever this is, I''m leaving Angelo, don''t call me anymore and please don''t send me your


    dick pictures that''s just-" i instantlyughed. "Nasty." She added.


    "That was one time,e on L." I let out a heartyugh, a smile spread across her lips. "And you


    liked it." She blushed.


    "Let''s just end this here because I know it''s not leading to anything. Thanks for the experience." I had


    not realised that she was already fully dressed and ready to leave.


    I looked on the bed side where a box oftex condoms were still avable. "I thought-" she banged the


    door to the hotel room before I even said anymore. "I thought we would finish these but anyways we


    only used four." I grabbed my phone looking at who I could call.

    country for a few weeks.


    Luba Manakova, the Russian beauty had recently got engaged but that wouldn''t stop me. Argh I was


    certainly not in the mood to deal with the press right now and bad publicity.


    Tara Wilkins, this ck American Beauty would do butst time we hooked up, she left me with two


    bruises on both my cheeks.


    Raina Williams, the innocent virgin who just left me with blue balls.


    The list was endless but they all had a reason for never wanting to see me again. I had broken hearts


    but it wasn''t a big deal in my case. A cold shower would have to do for tonight, i guess.


    *End of shback*?


    Raina deserved better than the arsehole I am. I found myself hitting my head on the starring wheel


    continuously, i knew as soon as i got there. Hell would break loose and swallow me. This was the right


    thing to do only it was a few monthster. Ashton must have been mad. I didn''t even have a gift with


    me topensate for being one of a better English word ''a shitty father''.

    ***


    Raina Williams.


    I was baking chocte muffins for my babies, they were not here at the moment, they had gone on an


    excursion. I was d something would take them off my thoughts about how their father has sorely


    abandoning them. I knew and saw how much it hurt them. It broke my heart watching them wait eagerly


    for their dad to call. He only called about four times and that was it.


    There was a knock on the door, so I removed my pink apron and wiped off the remaining chocte


    dough on my fingers. I tucked some of my hair behind my ear as I made my way to the door. It couldn''t


    be the twins, Grayson wasn''t going to pick them at this time. Knowing Gray he would probably stuff


    them with McDonald''s before finally bringing them home. In other ways Gray was starting to act like a


    father figure to my kids, besides his sexuality. He was always helping out, picking them up when I


    couldn''t, babysitting when Maya can''te around. They simply adore him as much as he adores


    them. Opening the door, only to reveal thest person I could have thought of... Angelo. He was


    dressed in casual clothing, his jet hair was wet...it seemed he was justing from taking a shower.


    His green eyes swept all over my body from my toes until our eyes finally met. It made me feel


    ufortable. I wasn''t mad at him, i was mad at myself for thinking someone who didn''t even want


    kids in the first ce would live up to his responsibilities as a father.


    "Raina, hi." He said awkwardly running his long fingers through his wet hair. It seemed like only


    yesterday when he used the same fingers to pleasure me in all sorts of ways. His tongue grazed his


    bottom lip making me remember the erratic times we had been together in bed. The countless times he


    committed unforgettable damnation on my body.


    "Uhm Angelo, hi." I murmured. He looked at me as if he was expecting a reaction out of me but I was


    tiredly worn out by always have to leap behind him like hisp dog. He knows he is a father and it


    wasn''t my responsibility to always remind him what he needed to do and not do.


    "Is-" before he could reply, I shook my head. "No they are out on a school trip, they should be back in


    about three hours." I curtly replied opening the door wider so he coulde in. I heard him gently


    close the door as I went to check on the oven when I was done, i didn''t realise he was behind me. We


    touched and the countless fireworks just seemed to shoot through out my body and I knew I wasn''t the


    only one. I hade to discover these sparks were purely lust nothing more but goodness I could


    never get used to them.


    "Uhm do you want anything to drink ?" I offered.


    "Uh no, I won''t be staying for that long." He replied trying to reach my eyes but I looked away.


    "We need to talk, Raina." He summoned. "I know." I replied leading us towards the kitchen stools. Once


    we were bothfortably sat, he cleared his throat.


    "Uhm Angelo-" We spoke at the same time. "You go first." He said calmly.


    "Okay." What I was about to say was hard and maybe my own kids will hate me for it one day but I


    knew it was the right thing to do. I wasn''t going to allow them to be second choice rather they not be


    even be considered. I knew one day it woulde to this but I didn''t know it would be this day. After


    winning the case for Derrick Collins yesterday, i knew it was my big break. I was well known, i had put


    my mark as a femalewyer who kicks ass no matter how hard it maybe. Los Angeles had been great, i


    had loads of memories here but-


    "Angelo, Derrick Collins offered me an official position as hiswyer and he wants to help me start my


    ownw firm." I paused for a moment. Angelo gave me a broad smile and I did the same. "That''s great


    L." My breath almost hitched when he called me that again. "I mean Raina." He quickly corrected


    clearly his throat. I noticed the small stubble on his chin, it made him look even more sexy.


    "In New York." I finished my sentence, his features immediately changed to a disapproving look.


    "But-" He was quick to protest.


    "Angelo, when you told me to go and abort the twins, i told myself that I wouldn''t and I would take care


    of them by myself. I took that chance even if being a single mother was the risk. When you came back


    that was okay too but I still told myself I would do what was best for them. Maybe having a father was


    best for them or maybe i was wrong, they didn''t need a father." I paused.


    "Raina, where is this going ?" He seemed hurt as he asked this but I had to continue.


    "Angelo, don''t you ever think about what would have happened if you didn''t return ? if my mom didn''t


    call you. You would be living your perfect life without any problems. You would be free from me and my


    kids and trust me I wouldn''t mind. You have a lot of responsibilities right now such as your uing


    wedding and ... your baby..." I whispered thest part.


    "Who told you that ?" He asked in disbelief. "I mean I was going to tell you, Raina."


    "That''s none of my businesses, congrattions by the way.-" He cut me off.


    "Raina it''s-" i gave him a brief smile before interrupting him.


    "It''s okay really. As I was saying, you have a lot of responsibilities right now and with the babying


    trust me they will be much more and your wife will need you more." He looked at me with pure distaste


    at the mention of wife.


    "Raising a child, especially a new born isn''t easy and it''s a full time job, you won''t have time for my


    kids. I totally understand. What am saying is... I just don''t ever want to see my kids disappointed the


    way they were when you didn''t show up for Ashton''s first game and when you promised to take them


    out. I know and I get that you had alot on your te so I won''t bug you about it. It''s all about priorities


    and I know my kids won''t be on top of that list so I would rather hurt them now by cutting you off for


    good than for them to keep getting their hopes up and getting disappointed." I let out a sigh. Angelo


    looked hurt, his eyes had turned a shade darker.


    "I''m moving to New York, I''m starting over. I need to, spare me the drama. I know Yasmine doesn''t like


    my kids and she will treat them like crap when her child is now here so just let me go..." I didn''t realise


    a tear had escaped from my left eye so I quickly wiped it off.


    "Angelo we were not meant to be, it''s like we are water and oil. We just don''t mix. You love Yasmine


    and I''m perfectly aware that she will need you more than the twins will. She makes you happy and who


    am I to burden you with own demands. You didn''t want children in the first ce so this was my fault


    and I have to deal with it." I quickly wiped another tear.


    "Raina, it''s not like you made yourself pregnant." Angelo wiped another tear on my cheek with his


    thumb. "Well technically it''s my fault for being a slut and sleeping with you every given moment." I


    snirveled.


    "Don''t cry Raina." Angelo whispered his voice bing deeper.


    "Trust me, i don''t want to but I can''t help it." Angelo stood up and pulled me into his arms rubbing


    circles on my back as I cried on his shoulder. After I felt much better I pulled away.


    "The twins are still young, they can forget about you and-"


    "Raina, you can''t just make me forget that I have kids and live a perfect life here without them." He ran


    his hand through his damp hair.


    "I know but you could always send them birthday presents and gifts whatever." I suggested.


    "I want to be there on those birthdays and hand them those gifts myself. I want to be there on every


    moment of their lives." He said with a solemn expression.


    "You can always visit when you have time, i won''t stop you. Once or twice a year." I suggested.


    "Raina, New York is miles away. Are you sure about this ?" He looked at me directly in my eyes.


    "New York is closer to Ohio where I can always visit my parents and my brother lives in New York. I will


    have a job there and it won''t be so bad. I just need to get away from all this. I''m tired of feeling like I


    always ruin everything." I sighed. "You deserve to be happy like anyone else and I know you haven''t


    had that ever since I appeared in your life and I''m sorry." Another tear seeped down my cheek.


    "Raina, you have no idea how happy I have been-" i cut him off.


    "With Yasmine, i know i know." I wiped another tear my eyes were bing puffy.


    "No-" He grunted.


    "Angelo, i spoke to your parents and they are aware of the decision that I have taken. They also think


    you and I need space from each other." I added, i quickly ran to the oven and switched it off. dly the


    muffins looked good and had no burned.


    I turned to look at him, he seemed to be in deep thought. "My parents don''t know anything about what


    has been going on between you and I for the past seven years." He sighed and took long steps


    towards me.


    "They do." I murmured.


    "They don''t." He groaned. "They weren''t the one''s who I kissed through out most of my nights. The girl


    that kept me awake all night and i unable to focus on work the very next day. The girl that made smiling


    seem easy, the girl that-" i cut him off immediately, here we go again. HE WAS LYING.


    "Angelo stop." Iughed sardonically.

    "You know damn well that I haven''t brought you any rainbows and butterflies except when you cum." I


    said cheerlessly.


    "We both know, i was good for one thing and that was sex." I deadpanned. He remained silent, it


    seemed I was the one who had hurt him but no he had broken me into a million pieces.


    "When will you be leaving ?" He asked.


    "A week from here." I replied.


    "A month before the twins turn six, couldn''t you wait so I could atleast be there on their sixth birthday


    for thest time." He suggested. The room was tense, everything between us was tense.


    "I can''t Angelo, i feel suffocated. I need to get out of here. Los Angeles has only bad memories that


    haunt me on a daily basis."


    "I-" before he could say anything else his phone starting ringing. He answered quickly and I wasn''t


    surprised to find out that it was his soon to be wife.


    "Raina I need to go." He said with haste.


    "It''s okay like I said she needs you more. Good bye Angelo." I gave him a brief smile.


    "Don''t make it sound like forever, i will visit the twins every chance I get." He smiled back.


    "I know, now go go go...you know how pregnant women get." I shooed him to the door.


    " I would have loved to know how you acted when you where carrying my kids." He chuckled lightly and


    the atmosphere changed.


    "Just go Angelo." I pressed my lips into a thin line.


    "It''s harder than you think." His eyes seemed blurry with tears. His phone started ringing again and I


    gave him a knowing look. He did what I didn''t expect, he pressed his lips onto mine.


    I didn''t respond at first but it felt like home, those sparks just seemed to find their way back. I kissed


    him back with emergence. His phone vibrated again and I pushed him out the door closing the door


    behind me. I sat on the floor and cried trying to convince myself...

    ***


    Angelo Le roux.


    "She loves you." Brad said with a cheeky smirk stered on his face.


    "You think so ?" I questioned, as Brad fixed my bow tie, it was finally the big day. The day Yasmine and


    I had been nning for over five months well she did all the nning, I couldn''t care less if the


    decorations were green, blue, ck or silver or if we got married at a circus.


    "She is sacrificing her kids happiness for your own happiness. She thinks she is a burden on you and


    that includes the twins so she is moving away so you have peace. You know what went downst time


    they were in the same room. She has been on your mind since the bachelors party... are you sure you


    wanna do this?"


    The billionaire question, do I really want to do this? I don''t know.


    There were four groomsman. Kennedy, Alma''s husband. Brad my bestfriend and best man. Aaldrik my


    cousin who flew all the way from Rotterdam for my wedding day. Leroy also one of my good friends


    from college back in Ennd.


    They were all set and ready to go but was I? I knew today right now was the day Raina was leaving me


    for good. "Aaldrik, Leroy, Brad, Ken...do you mind stepping out for a bit. I need to have a word with the


    man of the day." My father interrupted. He was dressed in a sleek ck suit, it suited him like a hand in


    glove. Suits were obviously his thing. They all nodded and headed out except Brad...


    "Brad? what are you waiting for?" I inquired.


    "Oh, I''m suppose to leave as well ? damn Mr. Le roux I thought I was part of the family too." He faked


    being hurt making my father chuckle at how ridiculous he sounded. He was obviously family but seeing


    as my cousins and my brother inw had went out as well meant he should too. No special treatment


    here. When the hotel door finally clicked signaling the departure of anyone else in the room.


    "Son?" My father set his hand on my shoulder. "Are you ready to finally tie the knot ?" He inquired.


    "You make it sound like I have been waiting forever. " We bothughed at my snidement.


    "You haven''t ?" He asked on a serious note.


    "Seven years only for me to let her go, with my kids." I sighed. "I think I have been waiting long enough


    only to marry the wrong person."


    "There you have your answer." My father replied.


    "Dad, how do I know if I''m not making a mistake ?" I asked.


    "If it bothers you at night then you are definitely making a mistake." He smirked.


    "It does." I thought absent-mindly.


    "Father, I''m inlove with Raina." I said without thinking.


    "I knew you were from the day, i first introduced you to her back in the office." He chortled.


    "Then why did it take me so long to realise it."


    "Well us humans always make up excuses for the things we don''t want to know or realise. It''s human


    nature to make excuses for not realising the truth that is usually right in front of our eyes." He made


    clear. "Angelo, your mother and I knew you were inlove with this girl from the very first dinner you


    spilled wine all over her dress and stuttered like an idiot but thenter imed it was one of your tricks


    to get her into bed. What a horrible liar you were..." He mocked with a solemnugh.


    "She was different, it''s just-" i stopped briefly. "She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, she had


    her morals and dignity intact. She was intelligent and got along so well with you and mother unlike


    anyone else, I was surprised because you never seemed to like anyone that much." I thought so


    content, everything was finally making sense.


    "Well if you must know, i knew she was inlove with you from the very first time... she barged into my


    officeining about your inappropriate behavior." My fatherughed looking back at the memories.


    "I knew then and there that she was the one for you. You made her cry by just a somber insult."


    "I didn''t father I swear, i just said she was fat and her hair needed a cut because it was now too long." I


    defended myself.


    "Well she told me you said she wouldn''t get married or go on any dates if she acted like a stuck up


    English grandmother and also dressed like one with her long sleeved blouses and she needed to get


    off her high horse." My father replied.


    "Okay maybe i might have said the English granny part." I smiled briefly.


    "Sorry to interrupt the little moment that I wasn''t invited to.." Brad said in mocking tone. "It''s time, we


    need to be there in thirty."


    My father squeezed my shoulder giving me a knowing smile then left the room. I stood up but before I


    could make it out the door.


    "Oh darn it the wedding is over isn''t it ? Can you atleast end it in style once everyone has seen my


    bloody fantastic tux. You owe me that much mate." Brad said slinging his arm on my shoulder as we


    walked towards the Limo.


    "Well I guess I could do that but the wedding is still going to go on. I mean she is pregnant isn''t she ? I


    can''t just dump her like a hot potato." Brad''s yfulness seemed to stop at the mention of the


    pregnancy. Once sitted in the Limo he cleared his throat and looked towards me, i knew there was


    something big.


    "She isn''t pregnant buddy."


    My jaw dropped, i couldn''t believe she had fooled me like this and beyond anything she yed me.


    "What about the Ultra-" i was interrupted.


    "What I mean was, she was pregnant but she lost it two weeks after. I found her soaked in blood at the


    apartment when I came to visit you. I took her to the hospital on our way back she begged me not to


    call or even tell you. She cried and you know how I get when these bloody women cry, she said she


    would make sure she got pregnant again. She just needed time." Brad said. This exined why I


    thought she was always hungry for sex when she clearly just wanted to be pregnant again. I felt


    relieved more than hurt that there was nothing stopping me anymore but I felt hurt that she lost our


    baby.


    "She''s a bloody psycho, i tell you mate." Brad said shaking his head.


    "Why tell me now ?" I asked.


    "So that you can leave without any regrets." He gave me a pat on my shoulder.


    -


    I was standing at the altar with the priest and my grooms man. It had nearly been fifteen minutes. The


    bridesmaids made their way and I couldn''t wait for it to get over with. Brad stood proud unting his suit


    for the camera''s, of course i told her not to bring the media here but she did and it''s her own mistake if


    you ask me. If it had been private no one would know that I left her on the alter-


    Some momentster the piano started, the bridesmaids walked in they all looked elegantly graceful.


    Finally Yasmine Bruyne walked down the aisle by herself. She looked beautiful, i don''t want to lie but it


    also didn''t help that my heart was elsewhere. She gave me a small smile but I couldn''t return it after


    such betrayal. I knew she knew that something was wrong but just kept going. When she finally got to


    the altar. The priest was about to talk when I whispered. "Yasmine I can''t don''t this anymore."


    "I know you can''t." She faked a smile. "But you will suck it up because we have a babying soon."


    She gritted her teeth.


    "Are you insane what baby? You lost my baby !" I growled under my breath. To the church it would look


    like we were smiling with joy and happiness when we were actually ready to rip each other''s heads off.


    "Fucking Brad, i knew I should have stabbed him for good." She murmured to herself. Did she stab my


    bestfriend? Excuse me but what? Is that why he didn''t tell me anything. Knowing Brad, he could never


    keep anything from me.


    "She''s psycho, mate." I remembered Brad''s words in the Limo.


    "I can''t do this, I''m tired of wasting my time." I whispered to her horrified face.


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "HELLO, HI EVERYONE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE BUT THE WEDDING IS OVER. HELP


    YOURSELVES WITH THE FOOD AT THE RECEPTION AREA WE WOULDN''T WANT IT TO GO TO


    WASTE." I announced to everyone who had gathered for this useless wedding.


    My mother and father quickly ran towards me. "Now go and get your woman, Angelo." They said at the


    same time. It seemed they had been waiting for this for a long time.


    "That''s what I intend to do." I ran down the altar once my father had handed me the cars keys to his


    Range Rover. He would never let anyone drive it not even my mother but I was surprised when he


    handed me the kisses.


    "ANGELO FUCKING LE ROUX COME BACK HERE. COME BACK HERE YOU BASTARD !!!! JUST


    BETTER COME BACK, I WILL DO ANYTHING. HELL I WILL EVEN GIVE YOU TWINS AS WELL


    PLEASE JUST COME BACK." Yaya yelled as her friends immediately went tofort her. Her


    Mascara was running with the tears, she looked like Bridezi. There were gasp and cheers audible in


    the crowd.


    As I drove toward LAX, Los Angeles International Airport still in my tux, my gut told me I was doing the


    right thing. I had a feeling this was going to make me happy, this was me manning up. It only took forty-


    three minutes and I was there.


    I ran to the terminals, looked around everywhere. I was getting frustrated so I threw my bow tie down


    and opened a few buttons so I could breath.


    When I finally saw her, I was d I ran up to her. "Raina." She turned around it wasn''t her. "Uhm sorry


    excuse me." I kept looking and roaming around like a chicken that had lost its head. I asked around


    about the most recent flights to New York then I finally found her, she was sitting alone with her and the


    kids luggage. It seemed her boyfriend had went off with the kids which was perfect so I could talk to her


    alone.


    "Raina ?" I said out of breath. She looked shocked, her cheeks crimson red. She wasn''t expecting this,


    with her phone in hand.. she immediately put it away. Her eyes couldn''t believe it. She knew what I was


    about to say.


    "Raina I''m fucking in love with you. I''m sorry it took me the whole fucking seven years and sluts in


    between to realise that you were the one. I have caused you so much pain and grief only because I


    didn''t want tomit. I was so immature and stupid but one I''m certain for sure is I''m inlove with you


    and I want to be with you and raise our kids together. From the day that I met you, i can''t imagine,


    being without you in my life. L you make me happy, you have always made me happy and I took that


    for granted. I''m sorry, I''m an arsehole I don''t deserve you. You deserve the world not what little I have


    to offer but God knows if you give me a chance I will try by all means and give you the love that you


    deserve, the attention that you deserve. I love you L and God knows it feels good to say it out loud."


    I was talking so fast until I ran out of breath, her beautiful brown eyes were streaming with tears.


    After a few moments she finally spoke and I dreaded the words that came out of her mouth. The


    knocked all the air that was inside my lungs. "Angelo, I''m fluttered but no."


    I felt dizzy because the only part of the sentence I understood clearly was ''NO''. "It''s a bit toote don''t


    you think. I''m content with starting over we can''t change anything as off now." She wiped her tears. I


    didn''t even realise we were starting to have an audience.


    Her boyfriend and the twins finally returned with coffee. "Daddy." They both hugged me but I was still


    too heartbroken to function.


    "Uhm babies, Daddy came to say good bye." She mumbled quickly wiping her tears off.


    "Uhm yeah." I muttered.


    I said my goodbyes to the twins, this wasn''t how it was suppose to turn out but anyways, I deserved it


    and I had to deal with it. The pain I had caused her and countless times, i made her feel unworthy of


    my love. I was stupid.


    Thest words I whispered in her ear as I hugged her were. "I won''t stop trying, i promise I will win you


    back...L." With that she was gone out of my sight but I didn''t know for how long all I knew was it


    takes time and I was going to wait.


    My dress shirt not tucked in and my first four buttons open. Sweat on my forehead. I went home a


    heartbroken man. Too much had happened today and I wondered if I will ever see her again maybe in


    another lifetime because in this one I had really messed up.

    ***


    Two yearster.


    Change of scenery, change of familiar surroundings, change mise en sc??ne was all it took ; was all I


    needed. Moving on and getting over something or someone are two different things and I seemed to be


    failing dismally at both.


    New York was beyond beautiful, a busy city. I liked it here. I liked being close to my family, my brother


    would baby sit time and again. We would visit my parents every weekend or they would visit us here.


    Work was hard at first but Derrick was with me throughout the whole way, I could finally say I am the


    CEO of a legalw firm with plenty of professionalwyers who are always at a client''s devoir. I called


    Richard Le roux every time I had some challenges, he was always willing to listen and assist where


    ever he could. He had helped me from when I was an intern at hisw firm and even now he was still


    assisting me because he had alot experience and had my best interest at heart. I appreciated all the


    people that stayed in my life. People who weremitted to keeping me in their lives as well.


    One of them being Gray, after a year silent treatment, antagonizing animosity, breach of trust breaking,


    dissatisfaction and the blues; Grayson and Derrick Collins finally fixed their rtionship as father and


    son. I helped them mend their rtionship in any-way that I could because the fracas between both


    parties was also taking a toll on me since I considered both of them to be very important people in my


    life. Derrick finally epted his son for who he really is and apologised for hurting him even though he


    had no knowledge of it. My friendship with Grayson grew rapidly and I trusted him more than anything


    or anyone he was and is my life line. The twins loved him, he instantly became family with my parents


    when I invited himst thanks giving although my father didn''t like the idea of his sexuality, he didn''t


    judge him or treat him indifferently.


    Alma Le roux was initially someone I had always seen as a friend but I soon realised it wasn''t the case


    in her end of the line. She saw me as a naive girl who was obsessed with her brother. With time you


    realise who was really there for you and who wasn''t as well as who tried to pull you down. It didn''t take


    a fool to realise that she had always been the one delivering the news about whatever Angelo did, most


    of them being things that would hurt me. Angelo''s engagement, Yasmine''s pregnancy, she always


    seemed excited to tell me news that would rip of my heart from my chest and cause me pain. That


    certainly wasn''t a friend. I distanced myself from her over these two years. I congratted her when


    she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, I said happy birthday to her, i said merry Christmas, i said Happy


    thanks giving, she said Happy new year; that''s how it was. We didn''t have a proper conversation, we


    just had one of those forced conversations whereby she would pretend she cared about me and ask


    how i was doing or if I had found a man...typical.


    Typical, have I found a man?


    Speaking of finding a man, with so much on my te I hardly had time to do any of that. I won''t lie and


    say I didn''t search for a bit because I did but something from my past just seemed to ruin anything and


    everything. My trust was broken, it wasn''t easy for me to trust any man that I dated. I was constantly


    insecure about many things. Bottomline is all the three rtionships I had in thest two years only


    lasted less than four months before I felt like I couldn''t do it anymore. I never had sex with them, it''s as


    if my body didn''t want to function in another man''s arms and that infuriated me alot. There were many


    encounters where we would be getting down to it only I wouldn''t get aroused, i would instantly get


    turned off. Grayson set me up on a few disastrous blind dates, which I don''t even want to remember


    besides everything I didn''t have time for my love life. I had work and I was also a full time mother, there


    were just so many responsibilities and my priorities were only set on two and that was my work and my


    babies.


    Well they ain''t getting any younger because today is their eighth birthday. I still feel like they are my


    babies even if they turn fourty they will always my babies.


    "The Pearson''s son is here and Ray you know how distasteful that little boy is." Cathy alerted me with a


    frustrated sigh. I smiled because I truly appreciated her as well. Cathy Harrison was my new profound


    friend well not really new considering we had known each other for about a year and a half now. She


    was simply a nice person with her beautiful dark mnin skin. Cathy and I met at the twin''s school


    meeting for all the parents. Her daughter Chloe is Ashley''s best friend even Ashton was jealous


    because the girls had became inseparable.


    "Ricky will have to behave otherwise I''m sending him back home with an uber." I giggled cing the


    party packs on the table outside near the pool where the kids where running around in their trunks and


    swimming costumes whiles others were swimming in the pool.


    "Evan be careful there.." I yelled at the little redhead boy who sat on the edges of the pool clearly afraid


    of the water.


    I had bought this house only because the twins pestered me about wanting a huge pool. They hadst


    seen their father six months back. Richard and Martha would always request that theye spend


    their summers in Los Angeles and honestly I didn''t mind because I could get some work done while


    they were gone but I would miss them dearly because the house would be dead silent without them.


    Whenever they went for their summer vacation at their grandparents ce, i knew they would also get


    some time to spend with their father. I had notid my eyes on him ever since the incident at the airport


    last time I heard Yasmine had lied about the pregnancy, i don''t know much and I didn''t want to meddle


    in his private life, i clearly had mine to mind. I knew I made the right decision because we couldn''t just


    pretend nothing had happened for the past seven years that he had not deliberately hurt me time and


    again. I couldn''t let that go just because he let left his fianc??e on the altar for me. I needed to start


    over, i needed a do over and that''s what I had achieved in the time I had cut him off from my life. I was


    so used to having him around that it took sometime to ept everything that had happened and let it


    sink in.


    "Sorry I''mte, you know how crappy Tim''s car is and he still won''t sell it because his dead grandpa


    gave it to him." Grayson said rolling his eyes. "Hey Cathy." He said hugging Cathy then me right after.


    "Where are those little rascals ?" He removed his shades cing his two gifts on the table.


    "The jumping castle." I replied with a smug on my face, i was honestly happy with the way thing were


    right now in my life. Tim soon showed up cing his own gift on the table. He greeted us with warmth.


    Tim was always a nice person, i actually considered him a friend considering he was my best friends


    boyfriend. Timothy Howe, his full name. How could I forget when Gray met him at a charity event in


    Seattle. He couldn''t stop bbering about the young man with short brown hair with wavy curls that


    almost covered his beautiful facial features. His gentle warm brown eyes seemed to have hit Grayson


    with a cupids arrow.


    "They should get all dried up now and get inside because it''s time to cut the cake." I said cheerfully.


    "I will get that done while you fix everything inside." Cathy suggested.


    "Anything I can do." Tim asked giving me a gentle toothy smile.


    "No, everything is already done you can grab some drinks for yourself and Gray." I smiled walking


    away, i instantly turned back to Grayson and Tim. "And Gray no alcohol this is a eight year olds party." I


    added making Gray roll his eyes.


    "You are no fun, Queen." He waved his hand hesitantly sitting on the chairs near the pool. The sun was


    all out so it was a good day to have a the pool party. The kids seemed cheerful about it.


    While fixing and getting the huge cake from the refrigerator there was a knock on the door. I was


    caught off guard so I nearly dropped it but thankfully, I ced it on the kitchen ind. Walking towards


    the door, I hesitantly opened without checking the peep hole. My heart instantly started pumping faster,


    it seemed like it hadn''t done that in years or maybe i was just getting paranoid.

    He looked so different, if not more handsome with his defined cheekbones that had a bit of stubble. His


    neatlybed jet ck hair, he had always been tall but now his chest was much broader.. had he


    been working out? Even from under the suit you could see his defined muscles. He always looked


    magnificent in a suit but now he seemed more matured. His forest green eyes met mine and I held my


    breath. Why was I feeling like this? The warmth between my thighs was intense, it had been long since


    Ist-


    "Hi Raina." He took me out of my daze. It sounded as if I had not heard his voice in years.. ofcourse


    you haven''t dummy.


    "Uhm hey Angelo, how are you ?" I opened the door a little wider for him.


    "I''m fine thanks, i hope you don''t mind me arriving unannounced, i was here first business and I just


    thought why not spend this year''s twins birthday with them." He gave me a smile that seemed to boil


    my insides. Nothing had changed, he was still the same Angelo just more matured in so many ways.


    "Uh- you are right on time. We were about to cut the cake." I said with haste. It had been years and I


    just didn''t know how to act around him.


    This is still the same man whom you used to suck off so act normal because you both have been way


    toofortable with each other. - my conscious mocked me.


    The kids were already set around the huge table, thankfully Cathy had already done my part by adding


    the cake to the table. This wasn''t a huge party there were just fourteen kids from the twins school and


    some from church.


    "Follow me." I told him taking ahold of his huge gifts, my fingers slightly grazed and electric shocks


    seemed to travel both our bodies.

    Angelo Le roux.


    Rejection, how exactly do you deal with that? This had been something, I had never ever experienced


    in my life. Remembering kindergarten when I first told a girl I liked her, she immediately gave me a


    small shy kiss on the cheek and ran away. Third grade, i kissed a girl for the first time and I loved it.


    Seventh grade, i didn''t have to chase girls because they chased me. Sophomore year, girls practically


    threw themselves at me ; even at that age I still couldn''t ask a girl out. As funny as it sounds, all I had


    to do was nod my head and say yes if I liked the girl back because they did all the talking apparently


    and I never listened. Senior year, i had already slept with half of the cheerleading squad. I didn''t know if


    girls liked me because of my boyish charm, my reputation or my families reputation. Bottomline is


    rejection and I were never in the same sentence.


    When she said no, I didn''t expect it well I don''t know what i expected. I just thought Raina was always


    in love with me so she would simply run back into my arms if I left Yasmine but boy was i wrong! Raina


    rejected me. On that day it didn''t seem to sink in but as the week went by, i finally started to digest


    everything... she rejected me?! Wasn''t she in love with me? what but why?


    Brad had constantly told me that sometimes even if you love someone you need to be strong enough


    to put your pride first and let them go. This was a huge blow to my ego, i had never been hurt and for


    the first time in my life. I finally knew what heartbreak was. I don''t know how many girls hearts, I had


    broken but all I knew was karma was a bitch.


    The first few months were hard, i had never spent so much time away from Raina and the twins. I was


    so used to seeing them every week or so but now I was all alone with my whiskey bottle and office


    documents all over my mahogany desk, my tie pulled up to one side and seriously needing a shower.


    The arrogant part of me kept on telling me.. ''You know she alwayses back, she will call you any


    second.'' I was wrong because she never even called me or not even leave me a one word text. It


    infuriated me that I was this needy, ofcourse i was. I loved Raina and I realized it when it was toote.


    I had to watch my parents talk to her on the phone all the time or on Skype hearing her voice andugh


    from a distance made my heartbreak. She had moved on. I didn''t know how we were going to deal with


    the fact that we have two beautiful kids together. Deep down, I hoped that would be another reason


    why she would call me or need me or just-


    Brad suggested traveling as a remedy to heal my broken heart, i hesitated at first but then agreed. I


    loved being a tourist because no one knew me, no one judged me, they just saw me as the white


    American tourist not Angelo the male whore or notorious bachelor.


    We went to India, Taj Mahal with all the honey moon couples all around and it was a constant p in


    the face. I could have had that with Raina but I''m an idiot. Overall it was a beautiful ce with marble


    craved in a floral patten decorated with semiprecious stones. It was designed by the mogul emperor


    Shah Jahan in the seventeenth century who, when devastated by the death of his beloved wife


    Mumtaz-i-Mahal, decide to build the beautiful monument in her memory. It wasn''t my ideal ce to visit


    but Brad swore that he had always wanted to visit this ce so I just gave in. I couldn''t wait to get away


    from the lovebirds that surrounded the whole area even though it was a graceful ce to be.


    We then visited the Great Wall of China, i couldn''t finish it because I was worn out. That ce was


    huge. Brad and I used the Jinshanling opening then ended up at the Pass Shanghaiguan. I couldn''t


    keep up the distance was too much considering it is a apparently 6700km from the east to west of


    China. Overall I was impressed by the architectural design and history behind it.


    That''s ofcourse where Brad met his ''love'' I mentally cringed because I was now the third wheel.


    Hayd??e Bouhier, the girl that my best friend dumped me for. This was suppose to be our trip but hey


    Hayde?? was far more important. How could I forgot how they met, there is was sitting on the side of


    the Great Wall panting for my breath from how tired I was while Brad wasn''tining. He just stood


    there taking pictures as other people passed us. He ran into someone and she fell on her butt, i


    couldn''t help it... Iughed hysterically. Brad red daggers at me until I cleared my throat. Some


    minutester, the girl with grey somber eyes, shoulder length straight brown hair with bangs, a


    charming smile (Brad would say), with a short petite figure introduced herself as Hayde?? Bouhier from


    France. The French girl is what I called her. Before I knew it she had hijacked our trip and bromance. I


    ate chinese food and watched their version of wipe out at the hotel alone while Brad and french girl


    went on dates in the city of beijing. I thought it was just a fling and it will hopefully go away sooner but


    eight monthster there I was standing at yet another altar only the tables had turned because I was


    now the best man and Brad was the groom.


    Their affection of love made me sick, so who would have guessed.. Brad was finally happily married. It


    surprised me how Brad had absolutely no stress about getting married, i guess when you are marrying


    the one it''s always that way. Why didn''t I take my problems with Yasmine as a sign...


    I saw my kids every summer and that just made me happy. Ashley was constantly starting to look like


    the splitting image of her mother. I would ask them how she was? and they would tell me she was


    happy. For some reason I was d. She deserved that atleast considering the pain I caused her.


    Sometimes, i would grab my phone and dial her number only to press the red button. I would type her a


    long message only to delete it a few secondster. We were still friends on Facebook so I could still


    see her glowing with her - how could I forget -? boyfriend. I wondered when would they break up,


    clearly it wasn''t happening anytime soon because in every picture they were together being a perfect


    family with my kids. Maybe that''s why she couldn''t say yes, she was inlove with someone else and I


    had been too self centered to see it.


    Not to mention I was now an uncle and a proud godfather to a beautiful baby boy Nicky well his full


    name is Nichs but everyone had grown ustomed to Nicky. Alma was constantly asking me about


    Raina and I honestly didn''t know what she wanted me to say. She mentioned that their friendship had


    drifted because of the things that she did before. I thought maybe they were drifting because of me and


    Raina wanting to distance herself from me.


    Everyone around me was either happily married or in a rtionship and I was just there helping them


    celebrate their anniversaries, engagements, weddings and baby showers. I constantly had shbacks


    about Raina, she haunted me in my dreams bringing me boners every morning resulting in constant


    cold showers.


    I was in knew York for a business junction initially it got canceled. I decided to use this as a great


    opportunity to see my kids on their eighth birthday and see Raina after so long.


    "Uhm- you are right on time. We were just about to cut the cake. Follow me." She said grasping the


    gifts I was holding, our hands grazed each other. Excitement shoot through my body it''s as if my body


    knew I was right where I belonged. She looked so beautiful beyond beautiful. She didn''t have any


    makeup just a summer dress that showed enough cleavage to awaken my other member down there.


    Maybe us being apart was for the best because she could finally smile without pain hidden behind her


    eyes...

    "What the fudge are you going to do?" Grayson said in an irritated voice. "Why is he here? Did you call


    him? This is just great my BESTFRIEND FINALLY GETS OVER HER STUPID ASS FIRST LOVE


    THEN HE DECIDES TO POP OUT OF NO WHERE JUST GREAT." He yelled a little louder for my own


    liking so I immediately hit him on his left arm.


    "Ow- that fucking hurts." He said in a hurt but amused tone.


    "Gray, calm down first of all he is their father and hell no I didn''t call him. He is here for them, it''s their


    birthday and I don''t think you and I or anyone should have a problem with that." I exined calmly.


    "Did you see the way he was looking at you? that sexy devil-" i immediately stopped him from talking.


    Gray had the epitome of jumping into conclusions even if it wasn''t necessary.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "We need to get back down stairs." I gave him an assuring smile.


    "Okay but I''m watching him." He let out a sigh and I hugged him because I knew, he cared so much


    about me that''s why he was acting like this. He was venting everything on my behalf.


    Grayson left first leaving me alone in my huge bedroom with my thoughts. I went to the balcony looking


    at Ashton and Ashley ying innocently listening to what their father was saying to them. He had even


    removed his zer leaving him and his bulky muscles in a white dress shirt. He looked so different but


    good type of different even the way he was talking to the kids or the way he nced up at me. What


    what why is he looking at me? I immediately shut the ss door of the balcony. He gave me warming


    smile then turned back to whatsoever the kids were telling him. His green eyes fluttered back to me


    and I looked away letting out a shaky breath, I didn''t know I was holding.


    I made my way downstairs where Tim, Cathy, Gray and Angelo were. The kids were sitted opening


    their party packs and the cake had been already given out.


    "Uhm i don''t think we have been introduced..?" Tim said to Angelo who turned to me for help. Grayson


    rolled his eyes as he took a sip of his wine, i told him no alcohol. He knows how he acts even with just


    two sses of wine, he gets tipsy and runs his mouth..


    "Uh Tim this is Angelo my- i mean the twins father, Angelo this is Tim, Grayson''s boyfriend." I exined


    leaving Angelo aghast.


    "Nice to meet you too, man." Tim said swiftly making Grayson scoff.


    "Oh and that''s Cathy a good friend of mine." I added trying to remove the attention away from Grayson


    and Tim.


    "Nice to meet you Cathy." Angelo said politely. Cathy returned the gesture.


    "No offence but since when are you-" Angelo asked in a confused tone. I honestly didn''t know what to


    say because now I would look like a liar.


    "Look here, i always was gay and I''m proud of it. I was just being an awesome friend by protecting her


    from vultures who wanted to get in her panties then go back to their fianc??e so I pretended to be her


    boyfriend." Grayson took another sip of his white wine as he rolled his eyes.


    "Uhm anyways we should start preparing for the dinner?" I turned to Cathy. It was almost four pm and


    the kids parents wereing to pick them up. It had been a great day for the kids, the twins clearly had


    an epic one. As for me it was just awkward and a huge dilemma.


    "We should." Cathy agreed with me. Tim and Gray walked away, it seems Gray was exining just a


    little more to his boyfriend as he nodded in understanding. Cathy quickly disappeared as well saying


    she was going to get started with the dinner.


    "Uhm, we usually have dinner right after their party with just close family- do you want to stay?" I asked


    stammering a bit.


    "Yeah sure, the more time I can get to spend with the kids right?" He said his eyes looking for mine but


    I looked away suddenly the floor looked more interesting right now.


    "Uhm yes, let me just go help Cathy." I murmured.


    "Raina, you do know we still need to talk." He said making me shiver with every whisper, he was a little


    too close for my liking.


    "I thought we were okay." I whispered back.


    "I''m just-" He was interrupted by the twins running towards us.


    "Mommy, Daddy I''m so happy you are both here together then we can be a family." Ashley said


    hugging her father while Ashton nodded.


    "Yes Angel, that''s what I n on doing..." He gave her kiss on her temple making her giggle, it was


    such a beautiful site, it made me want to melt but no. What did he mean by that? Angelo and I were


    two people who were never suppose to cross each other''s path on this earth but we both went against


    fate and now we are still being punished for it.


    He needed to move on. That was the only thought I had on my mind. He had never looked at me the


    way he did now it''s as if, he saw me as something precious but I wasn''t. Angelo and I just needed to


    maintain our co-parenting rtionship. I swiftly walked away to the kitchen helping Cathy with the


    dinner.

    Raina Williams.


    It was almost six pm and my parents were still not here anyways, I told them to be here at seven. Tim


    was conversing in a conversation about football with Angelo who had Ashley sat on hisp while


    Grayson typed away on his phone. I was in the kitchen with Cathy just making some few finishing


    touches to the dishes that we wouldter serve. Ashton was also ying video games not minding


    anyone. He had became an addict over the years, it took a while to get him to stop ying whenever


    he started. I still couldn''t believe Angelo was here, when I woke up this morning, I didn''t think this is


    how my day would go but so far everything had been civil and good.


    "He loves you."


    Cathy said out of the blue making me stare at her in disbelief. I could never get it in my head that


    Angelo loved me even if he said it with his own mouth. I just- i think I told my body, heart and soul to


    ept that he could never love me.


    "Uhm-" before I could make up a proper sentence without stuttering. The doorbell rang, i immediately


    ran to get it. It must have been my parents when I opened my heart skipped a beat. I was so happy to


    say the least...


    "Surprise." My brother Kyle opened his arms wide for me. I hugged him, not minding the fact that he


    was now a walking tree, so much taller than I was. This was my little brother and I simply adored him


    no matter how old he grew. He will always be the little boy that yed video games while I was in


    Labour at the hospital.


    "I thought you said you couldn''t make it." I squealed with joy opening the door much wider for him.


    Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Well that''s why I said surprise didn''t I?" He said giving me a cocktail grin. "And this is my girlfriend,


    L Salda?a." I gulped down a bit just from hearing that name and I knew Angelo heard it too.


    "L, this is my big sis Raina, you know the big shotwyer, I told you about." He chuckled and I rolled


    my eyes.


    "Don''t mind him, he always exaggerates. Nice to meet you L." I gave her a hug she seemed taken


    aback. I wanted to be a better sister to all of Kyle''s girlfriends, i didn''t want to be like Alma Le roux.


    I didn''t


    I could never see myself gaining pleasure from someone else''s pain. "Come in guys." I murmured


    closing the door behind me.


    L actually looked like a decent girl. She was definitely Latino, i could see from her olive toned skin


    and dark hair like mine. She was also dressed decently in a dress that looked beautiful on her and sexy


    but still covered all the essentials.


    Due to Kyle ying football since highschool, he had a broader chest. He wasn''t the skinny little kid I


    knew anymore. He was doing his third year of medicine school. I was proud of him infact my parents


    were even prouder. He was only left with a few years before we could finally call him Dr. Williams.


    "Nice to meet you Raina, Uhm i didn''t know what the twins would like so I just decided to give them a


    gift card for toys city." She said in a gentle but shy voice.


    "That''s so sweet of you, thanks L." Saying her name seemed surreal. It just brought old memories.


    "You guys can take a seat." I gestured at the table in the dining room that had all the feasts like thanks


    giving except it included another cake. I always order two cakes one for the party and the other for the


    family dinner.


    My parents soon arrived, i certainly didn''t know how they would react to Angelo being here but he was


    their father so he had a right to be there and there was nothing I could do about it. We all sat on the


    dinner table, the twins insisted Angelo and I sat on the same side. Angelo blended with my family and


    friends so well when he wasn''t being an arsehole.


    It didn''t take a fool to realise that my brother, Grayson and my father were very cautious of Angelo. Not


    that they didn''t like him maybe they didn''t.


    "So Angelo and Raina how do you n on raising the kids on two separate sides of the country?" My


    father said clearing his throat. He was my best friend, he knew exactly how I felt. I had told him


    everything that happened. I could never hide anything from my father. He was one person who was


    always there tofort me whenever I felt life wasn''t for me.


    "Uhm-" Angelo and I both said at the same time.


    "Dad so far it has been working out just great." I said quickly gulping down my grape juice.


    "The kids hardly see their father." My dad pryed again, I didn''t know where this was going.


    "Grandpa, Daddy is here to marry mommy." Ashley said making me feel really awkward.


    "Not my sister he isn''t." Kyle growled under his breath.


    "Mr. Williams, i hope I can make my wrongs right." Angelo said calmly.


    "The only wrongs you need to make right is to see your kids more often other than that there won''t be


    any problem as long as you stay at a distance from my daughter." My father swiftly let out making


    Grayson nod his head in agreement.


    "Honey, i think Angelo and Raina are adults they can decide what they want to do." My mom defended.


    "I won''t let my daughter be hurt again in front of my eyes." My father hissed wiping the corner of his lips


    with a napkin.


    "Dad, there is nothing going on between us. We are just being civil with each other." I whispered


    looking down at my te.


    "Uhm Ashley, Ashton and Chloe let me get you ready for bed then you can open your presents." Cathy


    said standing up from the table. The kids immediately jumped from their seats going upstairs. I gave


    Cathy a thankful smile. I didn''t want the kids to hear anymore of what my father was about to say


    because I knew he certainly had more to say.


    "Do you need help ?" L stood up clearing some of the dishes on the table.


    "Uh yes thanks." Cathy replied.


    "I think I need a smoke, Grayson do you want to join me ?" Tim said awkwardly standing up from his


    seat.


    "I''m not going anywhere." Grayson said stubbornly.


    "Grayyyy..." Tim said wiggling his eyebrows.


    "Tim go have a smoke." Gray said patting him on his shoulder. Tim hesitantly went out towards the path


    to the pool area. Now it was only my parents, Kyle, Grayson and Angelo on the table.


    "Before we go anywhere, Mr. Le roux what are your intentions with my daughter ?" My father asked. I


    immediately facepalmed.


    "Mr. Williams, i won''t lie. I want your daughter back." Angelo said in a polite tone. I could tell he was


    nervous.


    "As if you ever had her." Grayson murmured under his breath and everyone looked at him with a


    warning re.


    "Okay fine, I will be outside with Tim." He stomped out of the dinning room.


    "I want to make things right, i would like to ask for your blessings to-" my father immediately cut him off.


    I had never seen him so serious and I don''t know why Angelo kept saying things like that. I kept asking


    God to make him shut up and not say anything to make my father even more upset. It scared me how


    upfront he was about his feelings. Kyle stared nkly at him his knuckles in a fist.


    "You never needed my blessings to make my daughter pregnant did you? Nope, you went right ahead


    and made her pregnant then left her to take care of it. You never needed my blessing to treat my


    daughter like waste. No you didn''t so I don''t see why you need it now." My father said in a very calm


    voice but his words stung like millions of bees.


    "Calm down." My mother whispered rubbing my father''s arm.


    "You have made my daughter suffer enough and I don''t think it''s a good idea for the both of you to be


    involved. I would rather have her single forever than have her go back to what broke her." My dad said


    in a hurt voice. I knew he was just trying to protect me and nothing else.


    "I swear I have honest intentions with her-" before he could even finish what he wanted to say my


    father hushed him.


    "Mr. Le roux you can have any women you want just not my daughter." My father said standing up,


    dismissing the matter at hand.


    "Raina we will be leaving now, you know we have an early conference at church. Would you mind


    walking me to the car ?" He said normally like nothing had happened.


    "Uh yes dad." I stood up quickly. My mom decided to say good bye to the twins before leaving. As we


    walked towards their car, i grew nervous. Nervous because Kyle was left alone with Angelo... he wasn''t


    the most patient and polite person.


    "I just want what''s best for you, darling." My father said kissing my temple. "You are still my little girl and


    I don''t want to ever see you get hurt again.." He said with a shaky breath. Was my father about to cry ?


    "I know dad but Angelo and i-"


    "I can see how much you both are inlove with each other but I''m afraid this will destroy you."


    "I''m not-"


    "Darling you are inlove with him and so is he... I can see it." I remained quiet.


    "He has that look in his eyes that tell me that he is determined to get you back. Whether I approve or


    not. I just want you to be careful okay? Remember you have made it this past two years without him."


    He said and I nodded.


    My mother soon showed up. "Honey whatever your father is doing it''s for your own good okay?" She


    said in her thick Hispanic ent before giving me a warm hug. We said our good byes and soon they


    had driven off. I was now left in the driveway, in the cold confused. Just when I thought I had my life


    together, he justes and ruins it. Like an unexpected hurricane, Hurricane


    Angelo.

    Angelo Le roux.


    "Brad, i swear everyone on that table was just waiting to stab me with their forks." I sighed exining


    what had urred two nights before.


    "Just leave their daughter alone, mate." Brad sighed heavily probably annoyed by my bbering.


    "Not you too." I whined.


    "I mean Raina is-"


    "Is mine, she has always been mine from the first time I met her, the first time I took her innocence." I


    said sounding a little more possessive than I would I like to sound.


    "Hey too many details." Brad yfully hit my arm making me give him an evil eye, he knew I was


    joking.


    "Anyways enough about me, you are going to be a daddy." I said in an obnoxiously mimicked voice.


    "Stop stop stop, you flutter me too much." He said in a sarcastic manor taking a sip from his beer.


    "And I''m obviously the God father right?" I asked.


    "About that Hayde?? had another suggestion.." He said with a hint sadness.


    "Why, i mean I''m the best candidate ?" I scowled at him.


    "Yes, i do get that but she thinks you are well- you need to sort your life out." He said quickly.


    "Well if you haven''t noticed that''s what I''m doing and why is she the one deciding ?" I muttered with


    discontent. "I thought she liked me." I added.


    "She does like you alot Angie manjie, we are both deciding." He exined making me roll my eyes.


    "Well if you are deciding then you are choosing me. I mean, I''m a great dad have you seen me with the


    twins." Not to suck my own dick or anything but it was the truth.


    "Hardly." He hissed.


    "Who is your other suggestion ?" I decided to ignore the ''hardly'' part.


    "Well Hayde??''s older brother Auguste and his wife. I mean it''s a good thing they are married, they


    have a stable home and they are really loving." He said making me cloud up.


    "I am also financially stable, i have a stable home-"


    "Living in different five star hotels every month in different states, countries and continents is not a


    stable home Angie." Brad said feeling a tad bit irritated.


    "Fine fine." I said in distress.


    "You also don''t have a stable rtionship." He added which made me really upset.


    "Brad can I tell you something ?" I let out another sarcasticugh. "When I chose you to be my kids


    God father, I chose you because I trust you with my life because you are my best friend. I didn''t care


    whether you even had a job at that time because I believed in your business. I knew your temporary


    state wasn''t a permanent one. You were unemployed at that moment but I didn''t care. I knew that if


    something ever happened to Raina and I, you would honestly do everything you can to take good care


    of them. Fuck Stable Homes and Stable rtionships, i trusted you that''s why i chose you." I breathed


    out another sigh.


    "Things are different. You didn''t even want to be a father, you just chose me for the sake of choosing.


    You were in a panicked mode after finding out the pregnancy that should have been terminated was


    now in Labour. It''s different because Hayde?? and I nned this out, we had everything nned but


    most of all ... I wanted this baby." Bradley Murray replied, each and every word hitting me right through


    like an aimed bullet.


    "So what''s your point exactly? that I don''t love my kids or that you are perfect." I asked bitterly.


    "I''m far from perfect." Brad replied in the very same tone.


    "You know what really pisses me off is the fact that even when someone is trying so hard to change...


    you just have to keep throwing their past mistakes back in his face over and over and over again,


    repeatedly." I yelled in clearly angry.


    "I didn''t mean to make you feel that way buddy." Brad heaved up a heavy sigh.


    "Well atleast I now know exactly what you and your wife think of me. I''m leaving Brad." I turned on my


    heel not even giving him an opportunity to say anything. Honestly with everyone always telling me how


    much of a disappointment I am, i just always thought Brad had my back but I was amiss.


    I didn''t feel like going back to my hotel or rather my unstable home. I guess I was back to my old habit,


    back to wanting and needing Raina after everytime and anything goes wrong. You know what they say


    old habits die hard and I could never get tired of Raina. She always listened to me everytime, I needed


    someone to talk to. I had no idea what I was going to do or say when i get there at exactly eleven in the


    evening but all I knew was i was going to sort my life out... like Hayde?? suggested.


    Note the sarcasm.


    Honestly I was baffled. Brad had always been there for me but I never imagined that he saw me or


    rather viewed me in such a manor. I didn''t even realise I was already parked outside Raina''s beautiful


    home. I have to say she had out done herself. She was living afortable life with everything that she


    needed like good friends and family as well as a good job. Something that always attracted me to


    Raina was how goal-oriented she was. Anything she set her mind to she would do it. I just wondered


    did she set her mind on getting over me and did she seed honestly it seemed likely.


    I turned off the ignition noticing the lights in Raina''s house were still on. I closed the car door shut


    making my way towards the door. Nerves never got to me but now they did, she once rejected me


    when I was ready to leave everything for her. It was kind of nerve wrecking that she could do it again.


    As soon she opened the door, it seemed my love for Raina umted everytime i saw her. She


    looked so beautiful and surprised.


    "Angelo? Hi." She opened the door wider for me toe in. Deep down it felt like we had been through


    this before. I don''t know how many times I knocked on her door at this time of the night.


    History was repeating it self always.


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Raina, How are you? I hope I''m not disturbing you." I said getting in as she closed the front door.


    "Uh well no but the twins aren''t here right now. They went to a baseball game with my dad then they he


    just decided they should sleep over." She exined a smile capturing her beautifully sculptured lips.


    My eyes traveled to her tanned beautiful long legs, it seemed to make my pants tighten. I had not been


    with a women for a long time now. My hand had been doing the job, i didn''t want anyone else except


    Raina. My dick actually decided that itself, it wouldn''t stand everytime i was with my flings.


    Tragic, I know.


    "I actually came to talk to you. We have a lot to talk about..." I said gaining myposure.


    "I know, about the other day... When I invited you for dinner, i didn''t intend for my family to act the way


    they did-" Raina said sincerely and I couldn''t focus on anything but the way her lips were moving.


    "It''s okay well I deserve it." I rushed to say. Her beautiful brte hair had grown longer and she


    honestly looked mesmerising. How did it take me so long to realise that I love this woman?


    Once we had sat down besides each other. My hand grazed on her bare thigh and everything just


    seemed to stop. She looked at me with a wanting look, I stared back at her with need. What she did


    next totally surprised me. She captured my lips and I didn''t hold back. I kissed her back, her lips tasted


    the same way they always did like strawberries. She bit on my bottom lip making me grow harder. She


    now hovered on top of my body, straddling me. I felt like I would explode any minute, in my pants. I


    caressed her cheek as we hungrily kissed each other. This was not what I had came for and I wanted


    to show Raina that I had honest intentions. She started rubbing herself on my now hard on and I felt


    weaker than I had ever been in my entire existence. My hands roamed on her behind feeling every


    curve and meander. She pulled back from our intense kiss as she nibbled on my earlobe and marking


    me as hers on my neck. I didn''t protest. I always liked it when she was in control but I didn''t want her to


    take this the wrong way so I pulled back earning a disapproving grunt.


    "Raina, i can''t do this." I said catching my breath. We were so close, we were practically breathing the


    same air. Her lips were swollen from our previous fest. She seemed confused to thetter and a sh


    of hurt crossed her eyes. I wanted this so bad, i wanted to feel her again. I wanted to be deep inside of


    her as she squirmed under my chest moaning for more. I wanted her to ride me until I was out of


    breath. I wanted to bend her over and have my way with her. I wanted to pull on her silky ck hair as I


    continuously thrust inside her core. Believe me, I wanted this but not this way.


    "Why not? it''s just sex besides we have always done it." She said as her thumb rubbed on my bottom


    lip. The tent in my pants was growing wider, she bit on her lip and I took a sharp breath intake.


    "I know, it''s just-" before I could finish my sentence she rubbed herself on my tent and I closed my eyes


    from the amount of pleasure she was giving me before I was even inside of her cunt.


    "Angelo, we always have sex. Why can''t you give it to me now? Don''t make me beg." She said looking


    me directly in the eye. I held her waist with both hands as I pulled her closer.


    "Things are different now." I exined, her eyes didn''t break away from mine.


    "How? Are you in a rtionship right now?" She asked and I smiled a bit. How could she think I would


    ever be able to move on without her, that''s just insane.


    "No but things are different now because I respect you a lot Raina. I don''t want this to just be sex, i


    want to make you mine. I want to make love to you knowing that you are my woman and I have the


    right to do it. I don''t want to take advantage of you like I have always done. I want you Raina in every


    sense of the word want." I said softly caressing her beautifully sculptured lips.


    She seemed speechless.


    "Go on a date with me? a proper date." I asked.


    "Angelo we have been on so many dates, like Venice...Paris-" She sighed seeming defeated.


    "This is a simple date, no extravagant gifts or what so ever. Just an honest date between you and I." I


    added.


    "Give me another chance Raina, i swear I won''t let you down and I just want to treat you like the queen


    you are, in and out of bed."


    Sheid her head on my chest, still straddling my hard on which I was trying to ignore. I let my fingers


    run through her long wavy hair. I could feel her heart beating rapidly or was it mine? "I promise I won''t


    break your heart." I continued.


    "Okay." She whispered and I swear my heart almost jumped out of my chest.


    "But can we continue with our-" She didn''t finish her sentence as she grinded her hips onto mine.


    "No Mdy, I''m afraid I don''t fuck on first dates." I gave her a smirk making her give me a lopsided


    smile.


    "Fine." She repliedying her head back on my chest and at that moment I knew she was the woman I


    wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

 Chapter 46: Tabula Rasa

    Chapter 46: Tab Rasa


    "Blood may be thicker than water but love is thicker than anything." ~ Goldie Nash


    ***


    Raina Williams.


    Tab Rasa : New Beginnings.


    Everything was different, I felt happy. Angelo took me out on a date and I would have never guessed


    he would take me to Starbucks. He seemed determined to win my love and I was determined to see


    him disappoint me so I would just be like...I knew it! He didn''t give me that opportunity, he listened


    attentively when I talked. I told him all that had happened the past two years that we had given each


    other space. He gave me these nces that made me feel like I was the only girl in the room. All I


    wanted to do was jump on his bones everytime we touched, the sexual frustration was getting to me.


    Heposed himself and Angelo had never done that, anytime we needed to fuck,we would fuck. I


    had never seen this gentleman side of him. I tried tempting him when we were alone in the car, i could


    feel his erection as I straddled him on his seat but he still insisted that he would rather walk me to the


    door. He walked me to the door. I thought he would get in but he didn''t; he gave me a kiss on the cheek


    like this was kindergarten or something. I told Gray everything and he couldn''t believe it either, he


    thought maybe it was just an act and maybe on the second date he would let loose of his gentleman


    Facade.


    He had changed and I was a witness to that. He spent more time with the twins and was constantly


    around. He even attended Ashton''s ser games, i watched him as he cheered for Ashton at the


    bleachers. It seemed like that was the only thing that mattered to him at that moment. Ashley sat on his


    lap and I sat beside him watching his every emotion and action. He was so concentrated on his sons


    game, he didn''t notice the nces of admiration; I was giving him. I realised then and there that yes I


    was happy and the twins were happy. This is exactly what was missing in our lives : Angelo.


    ? ? ?? ?


    Right after the game, Angelo ruffled Ashton''s hair and told him how proud he was of him. He was so


    engrossed in their conversations telling his son other ser techniques he could use; promising him


    that he would teach him sometime. My heart seemed to limp with joy every time, i witnessed this.


    Ashton then pulled Angelo to meet his best friend : Ricky who was with his parents the Pearsons. They


    invited us over to dinner just to celebrate how well the boys yed. Angelo was hyped for it and


    honestly it made me happy that he was making time for his kids.


    N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    Dinner with the Pearson''s was just delightful. The kids chattered amongst themselves and we talked as


    parents. They asked curious questions such as why they hadn''t seen Ashton''s father at any of the


    previous games, i quickly responded by saying that it didn''t matter because he was here now. I didn''t


    want to dwell in the past, i should look forward to the future. Above all Ricky''s parents were quite nice


    people.


    From there Angelo and I sort of had a time table of our own. He took me out on dates every Fridays;


    where we would just talk about how my week went and how his week went and yes he still refused to


    touch me. We spent every Saturday together as a family with the twins, the first week he nned out


    camping which ofcourse went horribly wrong but I appreciated the effort and the twins didn''t care as


    long as they were with their father. The second week, we went to Niagara Falls... it was amazing.


    Angelo couldn''t stop taking pictures of me and I couldn''t stop blushing and the twins couldn''t stop


    laughing and the people around us couldn''t stop staring as they were in awe. When we were alone at


    the hotel that night, he politely asked if he could kiss me and I nodded unfortunately he didn''t take it


    any further than that, which made me a tad bit disappointed but I liked how we were taking things


    slowly.


    The media started following us around and it made me uneasy. I didn''t want my kids being constantly


    followed around and their lives being publicized. Angelo promised he would sort it out and from there


    onwards we saw less and less paparazzi.


    After four months of no sex, endless make out sessions, Friday dates, Saturday fun days...he


    proposed. I was caught off guard, ofcourse he had asked me to be his girl friend just three months back


    but I just didn''t expect it. It was my birthday, he always goes all out when it''s my birthday. That''s one


    thing I have always known. Gray had organized a formal party at a five star hotel. All my previous


    clients, friends, family, colleagues even Angelo''s parents were present. I should have guessed that


    everyone knew except me. My birthday cake was brought in and to my surprise, it was designed as a


    ring. I gasped when I saw Angelo kneeling before me on one knee with an actual ring. Never in a


    million years did I, imagine that I could be this happy. I knew from that moment that yes, I wanted to


    spend the rest of my life with this man. He had proved to me that he had changed and I wasn''t going to


    throw his mistakes in his face everytime he did something wrong. Grayson and Cathy had been part of


    the n all along even the twins had chosen the engagement ring and I loved it. I didn''t care how many


    diamonds were on the ring but I only cared about who it came from and what it meant for the both of


    us.

    Chapter 47: Epilogue.


    "My most brilliant?achievement?was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me." ~


    Winston?Churchill.


    ***


    They got married in spring symbolizing new beginnings as the leaves fell off from the brunches. It was


    a beach wedding, Raina looked so beautiful. Her dress simple yet elegant, Her father walked her down


    the aisle and also served as the priest who got them married. The twin''s wish had finally came true,


    they always dreamt of their parents finally getting married then they could finally be a normal family. In


    the process of nning for this wedding, Angelo had never even had the stress that he had with


    Yasmine Bruyne. He had not even once had second thoughts about marrying Raina infact he couldn''t


    wait for the day, to officially call her his own, to officially call her Raina Le roux. It felt perfect like hand in


    glove. Raina felt like this - Everything - had been all just a dream. She felt as if maybe something would


    happen that would destroy her uing happiness. She felt the need to leave space for


    disappointment.


    When the couple said their personal vows, the crowd of family and friends thought they were the most


    heart-felt words of love they had ever had infact a couple of guests even cried. Angelo couldn''t stop


    thinking about how lucky... he was, he was so scared that he would experience rejection like the


    previous times at the airport. Angelo and Brad had patched up their friendship and of course Brad was


    the best man, if possible Grayson would have been the maid of honor but never the less Raina''s father


    would have never allowed it so Cathy rightfully took up that spot. Grayson nned the wedding, it was


    starting to appear as if the young man was multi talented. Raina and Angelo only seemed to fall inlove


    with each other every single time they kissed or spent time together. Angelo had not popped the ''L''


    word because he wanted it to be special, he just didn''t want to throw the word around. Raina didn''t


    throw the ''L'' word because she had nned to let him know all at once in her vows. Little did they know


    they had both nned special very special vows for one another.


    Their wedding made all the magazines and Newspapers even though it had been a private wedding.


    Angelo had admirers who would follow him even to the back of beyond. This had been Yasmine''s


    dream wedding, she thought as she read the magazine while seeping on her Margarita in Spain with


    her new hunk boyfriend : August??n Santiago. Yasmine had learnt to let go even better she had learnt


    that she never loved Angelo. She was on a road to find herself and her therapist Mrs. Stevens had


    been the reason for her calm stature. Yasmine had even reunited with her parents, whom she had not


    seen in over seven years because of bitterness. Deep down she always knew Angelo and Raina were


    bound to be together but that didn''t stop her did it ?


    Raina was officially Mrs. Le roux. On their honey moon, that was the only name her husband called


    her. He couldn''t wait, he had waited for so long but now he could finally make love to his wife. Angelo


    had kept a restraint from doing anything further than kisses with Raina before he had put a ring on her


    finger. That night, he?engulfed all the pleasures that had not been given to him for over two years. He


    couldn''t recall how many dreams, he had of himself taking her. It was heaven for both of them, their


    honey moon was in Nethends, Angelo nned to show Raina where he had grown up and learn all


    the Dutch things she needed to know. It was like him opening up to her and letting her finally see the


    real soft Angelo. Their first night in there honeymoon suite in Rotterdam, they slept in the whole day.


    Enjoying the pleasures of being with the one you love. Raina swore she had never been so happy. She


    wore her ring with pride and smiled even wider and brighter when her husband called her Mrs. Le roux.


    Her dreams wereing to life, she had always loved Angelo and now she would be spending the rest


    of her life with him and their two kids.


    After six months of marriage, the couple still acted like it was their honey moon. Angelo moved to New


    York, they bought arge family home in the Northern Surbubs. Infact it was more like a mansion than


    a home. Angelo didn''t care as long as the twins and his wife were there they made it home. Angelo


    enjoyed his wife''s cooking everyday, she was like super woman...?working, being a mom, being a


    wife.?Angelo admired Raina and it seemed he could never get enough of her.?


    Remembering one day in early September when Raina was in their huge ensuite bathroom. She had


    just woke up and feeling a bit sore from all the fun she had with her husband who was well gifted in


    bed. She smiled thinking about how happy she had been for the past couple of months. She smiled


    looking at the ring on her finger, surprisingly that was something that she did everyday. It had became a


    habit, a good one maybe.


    Angelo was about to creep his arms around her waist and kiss her good morning when he saw her


    about to take her contraceptives. Instead he sneaked behind her and gave her a kiss on the cheek


    making her blush. He was shirtless and only in his boxers .. it was distracting.


    "Love ?" He whispered nibbling on her sweet spot right below her neck.


    "Mhm.." His wife mumbled but it came out as a moan.


    "I think you should stop taking these-" He took the pack away from?her. "For a while."


    "Angelo, what do you mean ?" She asked in a panicked voice. Of course, she knew exactly what he


    was saying.


    "Are you trying to get me pregnant ?" She gasped and he looked at her reflection on the mirror that


    stood in front of them.


    "Yes." He said not sure of how she will react. He had been meaning to talk to her about it before but he


    hadn''t got the right time to do it. Either the twins would run in their room or they hadpany or they


    were busy doing other things that lovers do.


    "I think, I''m ready to make onest beautiful baby with my Puerto Rican Goddess." He mumbled giving


    her kisses all while still holding her tight around her waist.


    "Angelo-" She tried to protest a hint of red blush appeared on her cheeks.


    "Love, it''s okay if you aren''t ready." He said in an understanding voice.


    "No, it''s just I thought you didn''t want kids and the twins are already a handful." She exined biting


    her lip which only turned him on.


    "I only want kids with you and I promise this time, I will be there every step of the way." He gave her


    another soothing kiss.


    "Okay." She took the packet of contraceptives and threw them in their bathroom bin.


    "Now let''s make our baby." Angelo said lifting his wife off her feet and bringing her back to bed. She


    couldn''t stopughing and smiling because she never imagined she could be this happy.


    When Raina found out she was pregnant she got emotional and cried but it was a good thing because


    she cried on her husband''s chest. Angelo never failed to show up on any appointment even if he had a


    business meeting, he would rather cancel. The nine year old twins were excited that they were going to


    have a little brother or sister. Raina and Angelo didn''t want to keep the gender a surprise just in case


    they were having twins again.


    When they had their scan, Dr. Jacobs reviewed that the happy couple would be having a baby girl.


    They were so excited mostly because they were going to do this together. Angelo wouldn''t let his wife


    do any work. He cooked breakfast for her even though Maya the maid was around. He even took it


    easy on her in the?bedroom.?Raina was very hyper active in the bedroom even with her baby bump


    she still rode Angelo or let Angelo be on top. It was probably the hormones because she wanted it


    more than twice a day without getting tired. Angelo liked her mood, he only wanted to make her happy


    and satisfy her. Sometimes she would visit him at hispany, in his office on the twenty-sixth floor so


    they could have a quickie. Her desires were on mes but her husband didn''t seem to mind either. Her


    cravings were horrible and her mood swings beyond Angelo''s control. He didn''t know when he wouldThis material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    be sleeping in the guest room whenever his wife got mad at him for things like leaving the toilet seat


    up.


    He would simple smile at her, give her a kiss and walk to the twins individual rooms before going to the


    guest room. She would eventually go to sleep with him in the guest room because she was scared or


    she missed him. Even call him back to their master bedroom at one am.?


    When baby Ranee Le roux finally joined the family. She was just as beautiful as the twins had been


    when they were born. Ranee had forest green eyes like her dad and blonde locks. It was a mystery


    how the twins also had blonde hair but both their parents were brtes.


    Angelo and Raina decided a few months back after arguing and searching- they decided their second


    baby girl would be named Ranee. Ranee is a Hindi term for Queen or the female equivalent of Raja.


    Most Indian parents use this name for the apple of their eyes. Since Raina was Queen, it was Angelo''s


    idea to name their second baby girl Ranee (Queen) like her beautiful mother. Both families the Williams


    and the Le Roux''s were happy to wee an additional princess to the family. The twins were excited
