"Erin!" Startled, Erin turned around to see Tanya following her into the restaurant's private room. Tanya's face lit up with a broad smile as she eagerly hugged Erin. "You look great! Gosh!" exclaimed Tanya, her excitement evident. Erin's hand trembled as she picked up her phone that had slipped from her grasp. She managed to force a smile as she greeted both Tanya and Zach's parents, hugging Mr. and Mrs. Lopez. "We're glad you made it, dear," said Mrs. Lopez warmly. "I-I'm sorry if I haven't been able to visit the mansion. The office demanded my time, and I enrolled Lacey in the nursery. We were planning to visit you this weekend," Erin explained, attempting to steady her voice. "We understand. Please, have a seat," replied Mr. Lopez reassuringly. Erin had grown close to the couple, especially during Zach's declining health. They treated her like their own child on behalf of Zach's passing. "Oh, by the way, this is Orion, my fiancé!" Tanya announced with a radiant smile, gest
Erin arrived at Lacey's nursery school with a tumultuous state of mind. She couldn't shake off the surprise that Orion, of all people, was destined to marry Tanya. Various questions flooded Erin's thoughts: How did Tanya and Orion meet? How did their relationship unfold? Did Orion have other relationships after Erin? The prospect of Tanya and Orion's potential marriage weighed heavily on Erin, and she anticipated struggling with the situation. Yet, amidst the chaos, there was Lacey, someone Erin could devote her life to. Despite her hurried drive, Erin found herself caught in traffic. She was twenty minutes late when she reached the nursery school. "Shit!" she exclaimed, rushing into the building after parking her car. Frantically searching the room, she couldn't locate Lacey and dashed out into the hallway, her heart pounding. While twenty minutes might not seem like much, Erin realized that a lot could happen in that span of time. Her anxiety heightened until one of the door
It's morning in Bel-Air, and Erin is savoring the day. It has been a few weeks since she and Lacey relocated, and they are settling into their daily routine. Erin took on the role of a nurturing mother, preparing breakfast for Lacey. As they sat at the table, Erin engrossed herself in reviewing the Elusion report on her laptop after perusing the Raw Beauty stock market, which appeared to be flourishing. Meanwhile, Byron is in Hong Kong, representing Erin for business matters. Lacey, blissfully unaware of the complexities of adult life, innocently inquired about her father's return. "Mommy, when is my Dad coming back?" Caught off guard, Erin seems to choke on her own saliva before responding cautiously, "Uhm, why do you ask?" Looking puzzled, Lacey explains, "Because Novella's daddy is living with her with baby Raphael and Auntie Lily. She said her dad is also busy, but he's living with them." Her eyes seemed to gaze into emptiness as she processed the information. Erin, sensin
Erin conveyed, "The situation is... he's going to become Auntie Tanya's husband soon. So, you should address him as 'uncle' instead." Lacey pursed her lips, her eyes welling up with tears. "Doesn't he love me?" "Not in that way. Everyone loves Lacey," Erin reassured. She grappled with the persistent complexity of her relationship with Orion, unable to comprehend why it remained so complicated. She had harbored hopes of being with him from a young age. However, after seven years, her role in his life had become intricate due to her involvement in Daryl's death. Even now that she’s having a child with him. Loving someone who had inflicted pain upon you was an exceptionally challenging ordeal. Erin caressed Lacey's hair, saying, "When Orion learns about you, he might want to take you away from me." That would only compound her predicaments. "Would you want Daddy to take you away from me?" Her daughter sobbed, vehemently shaking her head, and Erin's heart ached for both of them. "
Lacey closed her eyes once more, maintaining a tight grip on Orion's clothes as she continued to sleep. Erin offered assurance, "I'll take care of her." Orion tensed when he heard Lacey refer to him as 'dad.' He clenched his fist. "I can imagine it was challenging for you, managing everything alone and raising Lacey as a single mother." Choosing not to delve into that discussion, Erin pursed her lips, recognizing the difficulties of single parenthood. The absence of a partner meant navigating the noticeable changes in her child's well-being solo, making decisions without consultation, and experiencing both sorrows and joys without someone to share them with. Despite the strain between Erin and Orion, a timely knock on the door interrupted the conversation. Kersen entered, carrying Erin's luggage. "Thank you! I'll take care of Lacey," Erin expressed to Orion. "Sure, take some time to rest. My room is right next door. If you feel like eating, just inform Mawar or Kers
Erin pumped her butt against Orion's shaft. From the wall, they moved to the bed. His hands tightly held her bosom to dominate her inner womb fully. Orion growled as he moved his hips upward and faster. "Ah!" Erin's euphoric moans resonated, harmonizing with the intoxicating sensations that enveloped her. The relentless waves of pleasure surged, leaving her breathless as his cock delicately caressed the warmth nestled between her thighs. They said they shouldn't be heard in the villa, but that would be impossible in the midst of the quiet night. The air bore witness to her unrestrained pleasure, punctuated by a symphony of ecstatic screams and moans that defied containment. In surrendering to the allure of the moment, Erin abandoned her sanity, igniting dormant emotions that flickered to life in the throes of this delicious indulgence. "God!" Erin closed her eyes, grappling with the challenge of terminating the seemingly infinite ecstasy. In response, Orion clenched her lip
Erin maintained a façade of indifference towards Orion, pretending that his presence held no significance for her. However, the act proved to be more challenging than she had anticipated. She blamed herself for allowing herself to forget one night, succumbing to the allure of the moment. Oliver guided them through extensive hectares of the resort, offering explanations. Erin remained uncertain about whether Orion was deliberately avoiding her. Still, she found a measure of gratitude in that he had chosen to keep his distance, at least for the time being. To divert her thoughts, Erin immersed herself in her laptop, trying to escape the complexities involving Orion momentarily. One afternoon, in the lounge area of the resort, she was engrossed in her work. At the same time, Lacey played contentedly on the carpeted floor. However, that day, she felt unwell; a sore throat and dizziness plagued her. Despite her discomfort, Erin diligently communicated details about Le Grand's new con
[The Wedding…] Tears welled up in Erin's eyes as she approached Zach, who stood patiently in the middle of the aisle. The ache in her chest was overwhelming after bidding farewell to the man who had caused her pain yet whom she loved deeply. She embraced her friend, seeking solace at that moment. It might have seemed like Erin was shedding tears of joy to onlookers. Little did they know the weight of her decision—she had turned her back on Orion to embrace Zach's dream of marrying him. As the ceremony began, Erin couldn't shake the feeling of Orion's lingering presence, his gaze silently witnessing her union with another man. "Orion has left..." Zach whispered after a few minutes. Erin clenched her stomach, desperately suppressing the urge to vomit. Despite her efforts, she hurried to the nearest trash bin and emptied the contents of her stomach. The small group of guests looked on in surprise, and Zach, concerned, offered his support by rubbing her back. "Please bring us a
