Chapter 45 – Ending
Actually, it’s not the last gift from their mom.
Tanya prepared letters for her boys for when they reach legal age. Her instructions were to give them to their dad and new mom a year before they reach that milestone. The new couple can decide what to do with them afterwards.
At the hospital, they only waited for a short while before the doctor received them. Was asked fairly standard questions and then they were directed to do the test.
After waiting some more, they finally heard the results.
“Congratulations. It seems you’re pregnant for six weeks now.” The doctor smiled sweetly at them, before handing over the document.
“Six weeks?” Christan wanted to confirm. She’s already pregnant when she was kidnapped? His expression darkened. Despite Lee’s news last night, he started getting worried again.
As for Alena, she’s grinning wildly. It’s truly a happy news, but when she turned to look at her husband, she’s puzzled by his reaction.

They don’t even know the woman, even if she’s technically an in-law. More and more people came to the exclusive suite. Most faces are familiar to him. And then, he came.Her eyes were suddenly glued to the man and she isn’t even being discreet about it. She openly stared at him. He didn’t seem to notice. Her older sister, Alice, did.She saw her rolling her eyes at her and told her to behave in a whisper. She merely smiled before looking at the man again. He’s definitely her type, appearance-wise. Also, she does prefer someone older when it comes to her r
Try Harder Chapter 2 – Business relations
Alena is much more persistent than Alice. She went directly to meet Alexander and ask him for Christan’s number. Her sister, Alexis, doesn’t like them bothering her husband, so she’s sure Alexander wouldn’t want her sister to see her at their house. She was waiting at the door as he fetched his phone. She was grinning. Let’s pray he’s not gonna give her a fake one.He came out and looked at her with a stern expression. He’s been friendly and approachable before, when he and her sister were still dating. She and Alice has been asking him for advices for their businesses. He’d been very helpful but Alexis doesn’t like them pestering him most of the time. Well, he taught them enough already.“You’re aware that he’s been married before and he’s much older than you?”“Of course. Aren’t you older than my sister, too?”“Yeah, but you can double that number

She doesn’t want to act so obviously the first time so she just went to check things out the first few times. She brought Alice and then she brought her other friends.She was able to accomplish what she needed to do: gather information. He does serve at the bar for a couple of hours or so every night. Except during weekends, which he apparently spends with his kids. She finds that admirable. Unfortunately, she can’t find photos of his kids on the net.There were also nights that he’s not present. Either he’s attending an event or having business overseas.Three weeks later, she decided to approach the man. Not exactly going up to him and striking a conversation. She plans to sit at the bar and hope he’ll be serving that night. She did see him talking to his customers, so she’s hoping for the same.Alice would be a terrible companion. She tends to tease. Coming alone would be best, but it’s suspicious. He might th
Try Harder Chapter 4 – Meeting the kids
It wasn’t a bad first attempt at trying to get his attention. He now knows her name. Would he remember it, though? She was asking this to herself when Gia started talking to Christan and reintroducing her. The lady was tenacious at matchmaking. She’s at a loss how to react. Should she vehemently refuse and deny her feelings? Or should she acknowledge them in front of him? It’s a crossroad. Each has its own pros and cons.“Are you really not considering dating? You’re going to let your sons grow up without a mother to guide them? Do you really believe you’re enough? I doubt you guys talk about girls and crushes. They need a mother figure, consider that, would you?”Alena was in awe of this woman. She can say those things to Christan? They must be really close.Christan grunted, showing an irate expression before serving her with a clear drink.“Look, there’s this gentle lady who’d been staring at

She met Gia on the mall and they did go shopping for clothes. They chatted and she bravely asked how she came to know Christan. They seemed very close, in her opinion.“We went to university together. Classmates. We dated a couple of times, but it’s not meant to be. We’ve been friends ever since, but we haven’t been really close since I got married and he did, too.”“I see.” Alena digested the information she was given. She bit her lip before asking another one.“About his wife, can you tell me anything about her?”At this Gia raised an eyebrow. “Well, what do you know about her?”“Just her name and that Christan really loved her.”“Ah, yes. Well, I think that’s all you needed to know. What’s the point of knowing how they met, how they fell in love, how they dated? It’s all in the past. She’s gone. What you need is to make him see you,
Try Harder Chapter 6 – His past
Christan is currently in his early forties. He’ll be forty-three soon. His sons are already teenagers. He sighed, thinking how he could properly parent them. They say adolescence is the most difficult period when raising children. They get a lot of questions. There are bodily changes. You need to teach them about the reality of the world. The value of hard work. They could turn out to be rebellious.So far, his sons have been easy to raise. They don’t say much. They don’t ask much. He rarely hears them complain. And if they do, they complain about the most random things. Completely unrelated to him.He couldn’t help but admire how Tanya raised them. They were very understanding children. He wasn’t present during their childhood. Well, he was there, but he’s too busy with his company. He hasn’t spent too much time with them during that period. He sees them in the mornings but only very briefly.When their mother died&hell
Try Harder Chapter 7 – Third attempt

How is she supposed to get into a relationship with him like this?She needs to get one step closer to him.The opportunity came two weeks later during a social event she was attending.

Try Harder Chapter 8 – Seduction
With one hand on her back, the other cupped her breast and pulled it out of its confines. Her dress only has one strap on her right shoulder.She heard him moan as his face moved closer to her chest. He licked her skin before his mouth teased her exposed nipple. It hardened at his touch and she turned into a mush in his arms.Her desire heightened. She didn’t think they would be intimate like this. This was unplanned. Though she thought of seducing him if all else fail, there was no plan yet.His hand pushed off the strap and freed her other breast. His stimulation of her chest was enough to make her center dripping wet. She was putty in his arms. Restless.“You know I like you, right?” She whispered against his ear as he kept his face on her healthy globes. She kept her hands around his head, sometimes gripping his hair lightly.Christan heard her but was unable to respond. His actions are driven by the desire he’s feeling
