Chapter 89
That night, Lilith and I put Kaiden to bed and then half-closed the door before walking out. In the end, we were out in front of the pool, staring at the sky as I spoke about the project I was currently working on.
It was rare to look at the stars without the interference from skyscrapers and street lamps. The sound of the pool filled the background.
“And that one there is the Cassiopeia,” I informed Lilith, pointing out some of the constellations I remembered from when I was a kid and in the astronomy club. “See? You can recognize it… The one to the south of it is Andromeda, and the one to the east is Perseus. According to mythology, Cassiopeia bragged that her daughter Andromeda was more beautiful than the sea nymphs, so as punishment her daughter was to be sacrificed to a sea monster. But Perseus, the demigod saved her from that fate and then claimed her as his.”
I felt Lilith’s eyes on me, so I turned to her.

[WARNING: MORE SNU SNU UP AHEAD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.]LILITH POV:My eyes opened to the sun rising over skyscrapers, sparkling with dozens of silver lines of jewels, up and down as far as the eye could see. For a second, I was a bit disoriented, frowning at the bright, orange circle as it makes its ascent into the sky.The clock on the nightstand indicated that it was six a.m. I lay there for about ten minutes, watching each digit move up slowly, forcing my heart rate to remain steady, my shoulders to rise and fall in measured rhythm. He was sleeping, holding me spooned into him while his lips grazed my hair and soft breaths tickled the nape of my neck. His hands clutched my waist tightly, even in his slumber. I could feel his morning hard-on pressed up against my ass, rocking rhythmically against me every few seconds.Slowly but surely, the night came back to her. It had been spent in a surreal state.We had drifted in and out of the periphery

The trees surrounding the dock were decked out in thousands of white, glowing lights that twinkled brightly and turned the night sky from pitch black to soft grey. The white tent set up on the small beach nearby was decorated with dozens of white and red flowers in large crystal vases.Outside, the winter wind blew cold but inside, the fireplace-shaped space heaters and the absolute happiness of the event kept all of us warm.Kai and I were anything but a traditional couple, and while I wished my mother could've been at my side today, I knew that she was watching from above, and so it was Kaiden and Dad who walked with me.My Kaiden looked like a prince in white in his suit. Dad wore a matching tuxedo. It was simple, yet on these two people whom I loved, it looked perfect.As for me… Well, the tent was set up beautifully, my dress was lovely, but it was the man waiting, whom I couldn't take my eyes off. He wore an immaculately fitting dark tux that

KAI POV:I woke to the sound of vomiting— really loud vomiting. Eyes still closed, I reached over for my wife.My hand skimmed warm, soft sheets… before coming up empty.“Lilith?”More loud gagging erupted from the bathroom and it hit me that Lilith was, in all likelihood, the one in there puking."Shit," I muttered, raking a hand down my face. "Lilith!"I lunged out of bed and sprinted to the bathroom, where sure enough, I found my wife leaning over the toilet and expelling what seemed to be everything including her vital organs.Not knowing what else to do, I curled my hands around her shoulders, which rose and fell with each continuous heave. She stopped for about ten seconds, and I breathed a sigh of relief.Right before she started up again.“I am calling the doctor,” I admonished.Lilith grabbed my arm in a death grip, nails digging into my tendons."Wait," she man

“Mommy, mommy. You have to be there. It’s the President!”I whipped my head around so fast that I thought I would fall off the stool at the kitchen tabletop. “Who?” I asked quickly, shocked at those words.“The President. They told us we have to call him Mr. President if he talks to us. He’s coming to judge us on our environmental science projects.”“Environment,” I enunciated softly for Kaiden.“Mm. Environment. Brittany helped me and Brie while you were working, and she told the teacher that you’d be able to be there today to see who wins.” Kaiden was almost jumping up and down with excitement.“Right. So, it’s the President?” I clarified.How did I not know the President was coming to Kaiden’s school? My heart hammered in my chest as I tried not to think about the last time I had met a President. It had been nine years ago. I swallowed ba

Aria Green’s office was elegant and refined. Much like Aria herself. So unlike the business she ran.The look on her face told me that whatever she had for me was good. Very good. She had watched Aria have a grimace on her face as she handed over assignments to the other girls. But there was definitely a perk to being the boss’ best friend.“You look like the Chesire cat,” I said as I sat down and crossed my legs, my right leg bouncing in anticipation and anxiety of the assignment I was going to get.“The cat, yes… he’s definitely not a canary, though. And it will not be me doing the swallowing, sweetheart.”I rolled my eye at the innuendo.“Who is he?” I asked with a hint of excitement.Aria hesitated before smiling again. Her eyes were sparkling. He must be very well known to be eliciting this type of response from Aria. She had dealt with famous people before, nothing and no one

Aria raised her brow. “Aren’t you happy I gave you the best man on the planet for your first time? There’s also no one more I trust more in this world than you. This cannot get out. Not even a hint. You and I will both be signing non-disclosure agreements of a sort. Plus, you have the attributes that were requested.”“Oh?” I replied, intrigued about what made me stand out.“Yes. The request was that the girl should have discretion, no criminal record, no history of drug use, and someone with a university education.”I frowned. “Well, that sums up all the girls in your business.”“They also requested that you be a bit of a ‘girl next door.’ No supermodels.”I snorted. “Wow. I feel so special right now.” Aria ignored my sarcasm and continued.“You have to arrive in a corporate dress.” She gave me a look of absolute seriousness.&n
