CHAPTER 17 TRAVEL PLANS
Two days after Mabel’s episode, Devlin thought he got everything planned. Mabel was busy packing stuff into their suitcases. Although she had trepidation regarding flying, she resolved to face her fears. It was exhausting crying over and over something that has already happened. After that night of Devlin leaving the apartment in annoyance and irritation, she made sure she’ll never allow anxiety to get to her once more. She is in a country where safety is paramount and Devlin saw to it that she is not without any companion when he had to deal with business on his own. Eliza was kind enough to be with her. The sheikha did not mind as she too was slowly letting go of the reins to Farinah. Farinah is only 18 but with a bright mind as hers, she soon was able to handle things on her own. They hired another person as directress to the nursery Ami left in her care. Farinah is still in university but with all her energy and excellent time

After the Christmas and birthday celebrations, Devlin and Mabel were thrown into wedding preparations. It would have been better if they go home to each other’s company but considering the church’s mandate that they abstain from intimacy for a week before the wedding, Devlin always ended up frustrated and aching in bed. It did not help that Mabel was taken to her maternal home in the city. The only concession they were given was a few stolen kisses whenever they see each other.

The day before their scheduled flight back to the UAE, Rain and Ami prepared a farewell party for them and a happy announcement as well. They were all happily nursing their after meal coffee when Rain and Ami stood and gaining the attention of everyone present, announced in unison “We are expecting!” The manor erupted into cheers as the house helpers were also included in the party. Rain remained standing as he helped Ami to sit down. “After our marriage in the UAE, Ami and I despaired of ever having a child, Ami especially as it caused her sadness when she didn’t get pregnant immediately. It probably was just stress. When we got married again here, she was more relaxed, more at peace with her surroundings and that probably helped her and me. We hope next year if the Lord wishes, there will be more little patters of feet running around the manor. “ He said the last looking at Devlin an

“Happy birthday, my love.” Mabel handed Devlin a small package.“Another gift? I thought you had already given me one at the manor.” “That was my Christmas gift to you, this is my birthday gift. “ Devlin was so used to Mabel gifting him with portraits done by different local artists in Baguio that he expected another one for Christmas this year. It has been three years since he and Mabel celebrated the season here in her hometown and they have been coming back every year for the celebrations. Her Christmas gift to him was a fruit cake jokingly reminding him of his birthday a long, long time ago when he decided to change his life for the better. The fruitcake was much better because Mabel baked it just for him. He stared down at the package in his hand, it is rectangular, probably A4 in size.

“Brick, bring your lazy ass over here! Bring us a beer and some food too and make it quick. Here, Tire, sit with me and tell me what you did yesterday.” This is what Devlin has heard most of his childhood life, from the moment he wakes up to the time he is allowed to sleep. Well, he decided as he turned 12 today, no one even bothering to greet him, he will change all that. The man who stole him from his family in Ireland and brought him here to New York told him, he is his biological father and the other boy, older than him by two years is his half-brother or so he’s been told by Muckie, shortcut for Marcus. Muckie seemed more appropriate as he is a monster just like his namesake, an Irish mythological water monster. He also looked like he had been drowned and resurfaced because he’s so bloated from lack of movement. He lorded over the two boys. Tire or Tiernan was a quiet boy, he looked timid but he’s

She was never married despite living with another business tycoon who actually introduced her to Devlin. He told him he did not mind sharing the Russian beauty. At first Devlin was honored and felt lucky but after some time, her allure to Devlin has dimmed. She is beautiful, he can give her that but after meeting his Emirati partner’s PA in the UAE, he wanted no one else but her. He could still remember her jasmine cinnamon scent and that memory caused his shaft to stir after pleasuring Alina mere minutes ago. Unlike before though, his shaft had not sustained its rigidity despite Alina’s exaggerated moans and gasps. During their first time together, Alina indulged his fantasies and he reveled in it. This time though, his interest had waned thanks to that siren he thought. He was frustrate
