Thank you for reading.
A murmur echoed through the crowd before silence fell upon the place. Charlotte smiled sweetly and said, “Jake and I didn’t mean to hide our son from you. However, we decided that it was time for him to be shown to the world. We want the whole world to know the firstborn heir of the Norton family.” Following her announcement, some of the guests couldn’t help but talk about the news. “I never knew Mr Norton already had a son. He refused to marry my daughter, it turns out he was waiting for his ex.”“Didn’t she leave him four years ago? Are they back together now? Why are they not married if they have a child?”“Mr Norton is a loyal man. I never knew he rejected my daughter because he was waiting for his ex-girlfriend to return.” "I guess the Nortons are not that traditional anymore seeing that they allowed their son to have a secret son before marriage."At the same time, Quinn was frozen in her stance. She had heard everything that the guests were saying but what was more shocking
When Quinn kissed Jake, he took the hint and quickly pushed her against the wall.He snaked an arm around her waist while his other hand held the back of her neck. He claimed her lips, kissing her slowly at first and then deeply when she parted her lips for him. Jake felt tingles coursing through him. He had kissed Quinn on many occasions but this kiss was different... it was more demanding, more sexual, even. It was the kind of kiss that led to things getting heated up.As they kissed, Jake reached between them and cupped one of Quinn’s breasts before squeezing and kneading it gently. In his mind he thought, 'Fuck, she has nice, soft breasts.'Quinn arched her back, pushing herself into Jake’s body as tingles coursed through her. She curled her toes at the pleasure flaring through her as Jake kissed her passionately. When Jake reached for her shirt, she raised her hands in the air, allowing him to remove the shirt over her head. In return, she helped to remove his blazer and droppe
Quinn’s body shuddered as wave after wave of pleasure rushed through her. She bit her lip, sighing erotically at the euphoric feeling. The feeling of being eaten was the best in the world- Jake made her feel special, beautiful, even. The way he licked her down there... it was as if he was having the most delicious dessert in the world. A smile crossed Quinn's lips as she revelled in the pleasure while she rode out her orgasm. Jake raised his head from between her legs and looked at her. He asked in his deep velvety voice, “Did you like that, hun?” Quinn nodded too many times. She replied, “I like it very much… can you do it again?” Jake smirked. He got to his feet before carrying Quinn bridal style. “Where’s your bedroom?” “The first door on the left,” Quinn replied lazily, her eyes half-closed. She was still trying to recover from the intense orgasm she just had. Jake carried her to her bedroom and laid her on the bed. Thereafter, he climbed on the bed before saying, “Get on a
Jake clenched his hands into fists. He gulped, the huge lump in his throat refusing to go down. He thought Quinn was willing to be with him despite knowing that he had a child with someone else. “What are you saying, Quinn?” He asked in a hoarse voice. Quinn's bedroom suddenly felt too small for Jake. His heart raced and he could feel his stomach knotting with nerves.“I’m saying go and be with your family, Jake. I’m not a homebreaker… I know it’s only a matter of time before the two of you get back together for the sake of your child. So, I’m doing you a favor here,” Quinn replied.“I have no intentions of reuniting with Charlotte. She’s my ex and will remain that way. We agreed to co-parent and that’s it. I love you, Quinn, not her,” Jake stated. Quinn’s eyes widened and she felt her stomach flutter with butterflies despite herself. Jake just said he loved her but why was she not happy?Their situation was complicated. Quinn saw from how Claire and Oliver ended up getting back toge
“Was the event a flop?” Liam asked Jake who kept chugging down shots like he was in a drinking competition. They were in a private room at the Black Club. Liam had been working late and needed a drink, so he called his friend over. However, he didn't expect him to look so frustrated. "What's wrong, man? You can talk to me," Liam proposed. Jake didn’t answer immediately. He opened the bottle of bourbon and poured himself another shot before chugging it down his throat. The burning sensation he felt in his throat and chest did nothing to quell the pain in his heart.“It’s Quinn. She thinks I’ll end up getting back together with Charlotte, so she broke up with me,” Jake replied. He then narrated how Charlotte announced about their son before he could tell Quinn the truth. Liam sighed. He said, “I wonder why y’all love to complicate your lives. I didn't even know you were dating. Why not be like me? I’m happy being single with no one to bother me or break my heart.”“You wouldn’t und
Time passed by in a blink of an eye. At the Ford Paradise hospital, Oliver Ford helped his wife into the bathroom for a bath. He was preparing her for the c-section surgery that was scheduled to happen in an hour. Claire was finally eight months pregnant. She had stayed in the hospital and with the support of her husband and family, her stay wasn’t as difficult as she thought it would be. Despite his busy schedule, Oliver always knocked off early to sleep beside her. He would give her back rubs when she needed them and massaged her legs to allow blood circulation. After religiously taking her iron supplements, Claire’s haemoglobin level improved and she no longer craved things with no nutritional value. However, she still craved some foods that were hard to find and Oliver was committed to helping her satisfy her cravings. Claire glanced at her husband when he placed her in a tub full of warm water. Her heart swelled with warmth. She felt like she was lucky to have a man who was
Claire was lying on her back on the operating table. The huge bright light from above was shining into her eyes, making her squint them. For some reason, her heart raced. The theater was cold and scary. Anything could happen. Would she survive the surgery? She had no idea... all she could do was hope for the best. Charlotte, dressed in her full surgical attire glanced down at Claire and remarked, "You're going to stay awake but we're going to give you spinal anesthesia. It will numb you from the waist down so that you don't feel any pain. Are you ready?" Was she ready? No, she wasn't. However, since they needed to cut her open to save her baby, Claire could only be brave. She nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm ready. Please save my baby."Charlotte assured her, "I will try my best."She then instructed the anesthesiologist to administer anesthesia to Claire. Thereafter, Charlotte conducted some tests to ensure Claire’s legs were numb. "Can you feel this?" She asked as she lightly pric
Buzz!! [If you want to see your boyfriend, go to the Ford Paradise Hotel.] Claire Hamilton squinted her eyes as she glanced at the lit screen of her phone, reading the message she had just received from a strange number. She furrowed her eyebrows, wondering what it could be about. Her boyfriend, Oliver Ford, had not contacted her that day despite it being their eighth anniversary. After trying to call him several times, she finally gave up when his phone directed her to voice mail for the umpteenth time. Now looking at the message she just received, Claire’s stomach did a flip. ‘Could Oliver have planned a surprise and texted me with an unknown number?’ Claire couldn't help but fantasize with anticipation. She hurried to get ready for the appointment. With her heart leaping with excitement, she took her time to look good for the night. Since she had been with her boyfriend for eight years now, she assumed he was going to propose to her today. She wore a short shimmery dress tha
