Zeke's POV I rubbed my eyes as I woke up, my mind still foggy from the night before. I stirred and tossed in bed and noticed the faintly scent of orchids on the other part of the bed. I sat up as I realized Kamille had left. Damn it Zeke! Guilt gnawed at me for taking advantage of her intoxicated state. I mumbled a few words and cursed as I ran a hand through my jet black hair. I lingered in bed for a bit as I couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling of uncertainty about how Kamille felt. She was in it as much as I was. Or was she not? Recalling her soft moans, how her fingers dug into my back, her beautiful legs snaked round my waist guiding me to rock us both to pleasure, I tried to reassure myself that she was just as willing. I lifted myself off the bed and my eyes fell on the little clock on the bedstand. It was almost thirty minutes past six am. I wondered why she left so early. It would be either because we had sex or because she did not want to be seen or both. I natural
Kamille's POV London's weather seemed favourable as the Monday morning sun pierced through into my room. I yawned and got off the bed. I quickly went in to freshen up. I paused for a bit and stared at myself in the mirror. I loved how my body had evolved over the years. I had added more weight , my face had become rounder and I felt more beautiful. I got dressed and moved down to prepare a quick breakfast of scrambled eggs with bread and a cup of latte for my kids and I. I got to the boys room, hoping to have a hard time getting them ready for school but they surprised me with the excitement they had. Tyris was no different when I got to her room.Today must really be a good day. I smiled as they ran down to the breakfast table.The breakfast table was noisy with their excited chattering. “Promise mummy you will tell her all about today when you get back.” I said looking at them with a pleading smile.“Of course mummy. I will tell you all about it.” Tyris said giggling. I nodded
Ellen’s POV“What the fuck!” I screamed in horror as I stared at the document in my hands. I lifted my eyes to meet Becky’s astonished gaze.“What the hell Ellen? You need to calm down. We tried our very best to ensure the implantation worked out.” Becky replied in hushed tones. Becky had always been keen about excellence and perfection for as long as I can remember. When she ventured into the medical field, I knew she would do excellently well. We had been friends since preschool. She was the perfect reproductive endocrinologist to help me get pregnant with Zeke’s baby, but staring at the result she gave me, seemed to drain all my hopes away.“Since you tried your best, can you tell me what the fuck happened?” I asked.“Well, from the results of the tests run, it was found out that the In vitro fertilization failed due to a poor sperm motility rate and this could have happened due to the condition of the sperm as at when we used it.” Becky replied like the professional that she was,
Zeke's POVAs I entered the lively casino, the flashing lights and buzzing atmosphere immediately pulled me in. It was crowded as usual, but I found it irritating.“Look who we have here.” I turned to see Zane walking towards me with a glass of wine in his hands. “Long time no see brother.” He added as we shook hands and patted each other's shoulders.“Yeah. Long time no see.” I replied. We walked past the sexy strippers, we passed a few men playing card games and a whole lot of other interesting views before arriving in the private suite.“Brotherr.” Fletcher called out excitedly and shoved aside the lady that was clinging to him. “Fletcher.” I smiled. “Seems some habits are too precious to outgrow.” I added. They laughed.“Well, a man got to do what a man must.” Fletcher replied.We settled in and ordered for more drinks. Fletcher sent the lady away, leaving just the three of us in the suite.“How have you been brother? Did you miss us?” Zane asked. I raised a brow at him.Missed t
Kamille's POV I woke up to Amanda and Belle's messages. They were coming to visit. I had prepared a lot of biscuits, cakes and juices in anticipation of their arrival. It was also the first time my kids would be receiving visitors since we arrived London. Tyris was particularly excited to meet my friends.At about eleven am, the doorbell struck. I hurried down the steps to answer.“Hey bestie!” Both of them greeted with excitement. Both took turns to give me warm hugs and pecks on both cheeks.I led them inside the house. They came laden with gifts for the kids. “Come here my little darlings.” They both said with arms wide open and my kids fell into them. I couldn't help but feel a mixture of joy and gratitude.They gave each of my children gifts and Tyris was in love with the pretty doll that they gave her. The boys all got toy cars, games and building bricks. They soon forgot about us and became engrossed with their gifts.I guided them to the dining room where we could have som
Zeke's POVI arrived at my parent's home as soon as I received my mom's message. I stared and admired the familiar building for a while before I went in. My parents' home exudes an air of refined elegance, with tasteful décor and luxurious furnishings adorning every corner. “Aha, look who found his way home.” I turned to see my mother walking gracefully towards me. She had on, one of the finest silk in London. “Hello mother.” I greeted and gave her a hug and a peck.“Oh son, how have you been faring?” She asked.“I have been good.” I replied curtly. My father strolled in just then. I took most of my features from him. He is a handsome man, just as my mom is very beautiful. Sadly, I was not privileged to have a sister as beautiful as she is.“Good morning Sir.” I greeted formally. That's how I was trained to address him, following the order of the ancient aristocrats.“Hello son. Long time no see.” My father's baritone voice echoed through the halls.“Yes Sir. Glad to see you are
Kamille's POVIt had been more than a week since I arrived London. I had been applying for work at several weather forecasting stations but most of them with lucrative offers wanted more of me than I could give. I still need to be around my kids.I landed a couple freelance gigs but I wanted something more worthwhile. Last night, I refreshed my emails hoping to see something, anything and to my amazement, I found something.I was invited to an interview based on a recommendation. The job offer was quite to my liking. Remote, great pay and lots of incentives. Jackpot! As I meticulously prepared for the interview, my mind was engrossed with activities of it's own. I wondered who my recommender was? The person must have been a high ranked person to recommend me to such an outstanding company. The offer they gave was topnotch. Almost too good to be true.The prospect of a remote job was particularly appealing, as it would allow me the flexibility I needed to be there for my kids while
Zeke's POV I arrived at the forecasting company around the time I predicted Kamille should be done with her interview, but I had waited for a few minutes before I was told she was coming out of the building. As I stepped out of the car, my eyes immediately locked with Kamille's, and I couldn't miss the shock on her face. For a brief moment, it seemed like time stood still as we gazed at each other. Damn! How could I have missed how beautiful she is? Just as quickly as she saw me, she recovered and continued walking. As she tried to pass by me, clearly avoiding any interaction, I couldn't let her slip away without a word. I reached out and gently grabbed her arm, turning her around to face me.After a moment in my arms, she spoke up first, “Zeke? What are you doing here? Let me go, we are in public.”“Kamille,” I said, my voice firm but gentle, “we need to talk.”She stared at me for awhile. She seemed hesitant. But then she said, “Well, I don't want to talk to you and that's why I
