Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Our Great Plan
Linda’s POVAfter sobbing in the arms of Chris, we spent the next few hours talking about everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything. I told him all about William, and about his plan of us working together. I told him about the Retinol shipment and why I needed the five million dollars. I told him it all. And he did the same, at least I believe that he did. Things felt better and although I was not fully healed, at least I was now further on the journey. “So you still want me to go to London?” Chris asked me as we headed downstairs. It was the next morning and we were going for a walk. I would have wanted a jog or run instead, but considering my state, I could not afford to do any of that. First of all, I was pregnant and getting farther along as each day passed. Second of all, I still literally had a bullet in my body, just hanging in there. “Yes, I know that you want to help William and me with the plan to take down your father…I mean, Mr. Kingston,” I corrected m
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity A Surprising Meeting
Chris’s POVIn the Aston Martin, the wind blew in my hair as I drove through the beautiful streets of the city. The weather was so good today, and I think it had an effect on my mental health–I felt so much serenity and contentment. Maybe that was because I finally had my wife back. I did not know what I did to deserve her forgiveness or what god had touched her heart to come back to me, but I was more than grateful.I had so many plans for us. After we were done with this war against the Kingston, I planned to take her to somewhere different; to another country where we would start new. Of course, this country had a lot of memories for us, but raising a child, I wanted it to be a fresh start for us. I was not going to tell her until the day she gave birth to our child. I did not care whether it was going to be a boy or a girl, I just wanted to be able to hold our precious baby in my hands soon. When I reached the office, I parked the car at my spot, turned off the engine, and got
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity I Hate Her So Much
Chris’s POVThe glass door to my office opened and I looked up, seeing my new investors walking in. Meghna was dressed in a flashy dress and her boyfriend was surprisingly wearing something that was not horrible. I remained behind my desk as I watched them walk deeper into the office, sitting across from me in the chairs arranged for guests. Meghan flashed a bright smile, but there was somehting about it that felt insincere, calculated. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, maintained a more neutral expression, his demeanor giving away little about his thoughts or intentions. “Good morning, Chris,” Meghan greeted, her voice tinged with an air of confidence. “It’s lovely to see you again.” I wish I could say the same but I would be lying if I did. I nodded politely in response. “Good morning, Meghan, and to you too,” I acknowledged, inclining my head towards her boyfriend.They both returned the greeting before she wasted no time diving into why she was there. “Chris, Jacob, and I have
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Indecision
Chris’s POV“I will think about it,” I said in finality as I stood to my feet, walking from behind my desk and heading to the closed glass door, opening it up and holding it open. “But for now, I have a lot of work to do, this meeting is over.” Meghan and her boyfriend glanced at each other before they stood to their feet and walked out of my office. I can not tell you how relaxed I got when they were out, I had been tensed the whole time. I walked back to my seat and sat down. What was I going to do? Linda and I had agreed not to keep any secrets, no matter how dark it may be. And I did not want to go against our agreement, so of course, I would have to tell her. I ran my hand through my hair in frustration, the stress weighing heavily on me. I had a lot on my plate and all I wanted to do was get all the things I had to do for the day, that way, I’d maybe be able to relax. You see, the thing about me was that once I had things to do, and did not do them; if I tried to relax, that
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity The Truth Will F*ck You Up
Chris’s POVI was sitting on the bed in the room and had not changed out of my work clothes yet. My heart was pounding and my mouth was dry. Was this the right time to tell Linda about what Meghan had suggested?The room was quiet, the only sound echoing was the ticking of the clock on the wall. It was as if it was daring me, daring me to do the right thing; it was as if it was on the edge of its seat, ready to call me a coward if I chickened out. With Fallon downstairs, I think it was the safest time to do this. You see, because if I told Linda the truth and things went south, I would have someone there with me who would try to help. So, you know what? This was the perfect time…or not. There was no perfect time and I just had to take this situation by its horns. I stood up from the bed and changed into something more casual. Then I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. I ran my hand through my hair and made it a bit messy. I did not have plans of going out again
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Not A Fragile Woman
Linda’s POVI was trying my best to process Chris’s words but they just seemed surreal. Was he being serious? No, I did not think so. Maybe this was just a prank to see if I had healed; but that was the thing, I was not healed, not yet. “Linda, it’s fine, she does not have to stay here,” He said as he kept his eyes on me. I tried all that I could to avoid looking into his eyes, I knew that if I was going to do that, the tears that I was fighting so much to hold would just escape. “Nonsense,” I chuckled the word out, but it was forced even though I tried my best to make it sound as natural as possible. Fallon looked up from her book, her eyes filled with empathy. I could tell that she did not want to involve herself, and that was why she kept burying her head deeply in her book. But she was, whether she liked it or not. I wanted to hear what she had to say, I wanted to know how she felt about it all. She scoffed faintly and locked eyes with me. “Are you sure this is what you want?
Secrets, Seduction, & Serenity Talking To Meghan
Linda’s POVWhen I was done washing the dishes, I dried my hands and left the kitchen. I knew that I had to go to Chris so we could watch the movie I had recommended, but I could not do it with my face looking like this.I headed to the bathroom that was downstairs and locked the door. Opening the faucet, I splashed some cold water on my face.The feeling was refreshing, I really did need it. After that, I closed the faucet and grabbed a paper towel, drying my face before staring at myself in the mirror.I felt like I looked better but one could still tell that I had been crying though. Brushing it off, I stepped out of the bathroom and headed for the living room.I met Chris on the couch, there was a movie on the huge TV on the wall, but it was paused. “Hey, you okay?” He asked in a gentle and comforting voice. “I’m fine. Can we please get this over with before watching the movie?” I asked him, sitting not too far from him on the couch.“Um…sure,” He replied. “You’re talking about c

Linda’s POVIt was the next day and I had just come from my morning walk. Chris did not go with me and had stayed home, making preparations for the moving in of his second baby mama.I had woken up in a good mood but as soon as it registered in my mind that Meghan was going to be under the same roof as I, my mood switched.And honestly, I had not planned to walk for the next few days but I needed to clear my head. Did it work? Did the walk work?Well, it pushed me in the direction of a cleared head but I needed way more than that.I walked into the house, drinking the rest of the water that was in my water bottle. I could tell that the witch still had not arrived yet.Yeah, I called her a witch. I know she was carrying the child of my husband, but…in fact, that was the reason I was calling her that. Not particularly because of the child, but because she had slept with my husband.“Hey,” Chris said as he walked towards me, concern etched on his face. “You took longer than usual.” He p
