The loud rushing sound of the water waves pierced Emery's ears, she loved how beautiful the blue water was. She dipped her feet into the water and smiled, turning back to look at Benhail who was seated on the beach chair with a magazine in his hand. She shook her head, wondering why he was so interested in those female fashion magazines. She put her feet out of the water and giggled hard, she dipped them back into it and felt the coldness of the water surging through her. She shut her eyes for a brief moment to inhale the peaceful breath of nature.She felt large arms encircling her waist, she smiled and opened her eyes. She was lost in his arms for a while, both not saying a word to each other. Just enjoying each other's warmth."The water is beautiful," she said to him, breaking the silence between them."Yes, it is." He nodded in agreement. "You will get cold if you continue to keep your feet in the water." He kissed her earlobe. "Put on your slippers and let's go sit.""No, let's
"Do you enjoy seeing these movies?" Benhail asked Emery. They were back from the beach and were in the living room watching a movie together."Yes, I do." Emery munched the popcorn, she smiled a little. "You don't?" She knew he didn't, she had noticed how uncomfortable he was whenever she begged him to see a movie with her."I don't," he said. He looked at her."I enjoy doing other things.""Things like what?" She stared flirtatiously at him."The things that made you moan when we were at the beach." He smirked, tugging on her pajamas. "Do you want me to start here or from the room?"She relaxed on the couch, "Agnes is not yet asleep." She mumbled."She won't hear us if you don't moan loudly, but I'm afraid you will be too loud." He got off the couch and extended his hand to her. "I can't get enough of you."He led her to the dining room and switched off the lights. Benhail placed his lips on hers, she felt so hot, wrapping her legs around his waist. He heaved her up and kissed her ro
Benhail parked the car when he got to the garage in Isabella's house, he took Emery's hands in his. "She's nice, trust me." He said to calm her."Yes, I do." She nodded her head.They got out of the car, heading toward the house, Benhail took her hands in his. Emery studied the environment. It was a big mansion that had a large surrounding. Not too many flowers were planted, just a few to beautify the inside.He linked their arms as ambled into the living room. They were welcomed in by a young lady, she bowed to greet them and led them to a table."Ma'am Isabella and her husband will be with you in a jiffy." She informed them, "what can I get you while you wait for them?" She asked."I am fine," Emery declined her request, Benhail asked for just water and in no time, it was brought to him.He thanked the maid, watching as she moved out of their sight."Are you okay?" Benhail turned back to check on Emery. She nodded her head in response and he was calmed."She has a very beautiful apa
Five months had gone, and her bump was visible now. They've gotten so used to having each other around, Emery was glad Benhail wasn't holding back anymore. She stood in front of the mirror and grumbled."I don't like any of these dresses," she spun around, her face scrunching up in disgust. "It reveals too much,""It's perfect on you," he adjusted his tie and towered over her, she rested on his back, both of them staring into the mirror. Benhail was so charming she just couldn't resist him."I wonder what would become of me tonight," she said."What do you mean?" He kissed the back of her head."You are too gorgeous, Benhail. Too handsome, I'm sure girls who look like they just came out of a fashion magazine will be all over you tonight, and here is me, a fat woman with a huge tummy. What do I do?" She sighed, shaking her head sadly."Emery," he turned her around and cupped her cheeks with his hands. "A fat woman with a huge tummy?" He scoffed."That's the truth," she told him."That'
Benhail and Emery traipsed along the red carpet. When they got to the entrance, one of the hostesses led them to the table reserved for Gunther's Winery. Mariana followed behind them like a puppet, she didn't have a choice, she had to honor the invitation by attending with her boss. Even though she'd thought she'd be his date, only for him to show up with Emery and now, she discovered a new thing."Thank you," Benhail smiled when the hostess drew out a chair for him. He pulled out one for Emery and didn't bother about Mariana. "Are you good?" He asked her."Yes, thank you." Emery glanced at Mariana, a smug smile playing on her lips.The table they were seated on was a table of four, Mariana had the option to sit close to Benhail since the last two seats were still empty, but after what she heard tonight, she didn't know what she thought about him anymore. She dragged out the chair that was close to Emery and crouched down on it."It's nice in here, none of these billionaires are as el
"So he won?" Lola screamed"Yes, and he dedicated the award to me." Emery blushed, fanning her face dramatically. "My head was spinning with uncontrollable joy.""Oh my, I am so happy for you, Emery. You deserve this happiness, but it scares me sometimes." Her face dropped low. "And I can't help but think about it.""Lola, I know what you are talking about, but I do not want to think about that now. You know I discovered something recently." She quickly scanned the living room, and when she was sure no one was near, she turned back to the phone. Lola had already grabbed a pack of chips and was now munching on it softly."What's that?" She asked when Emery returned to the call."I found out the reason Benhail needs a baby and that's because he has a short time to live, Lola." She said sadly."What do you mean by that?" Lola furrowed her eyebrows in confusion."He has heart disease and the Doctors gave him a few months to live. It was a year before we met and now he's left with just sev
"I think there is a mix-up here," Doctor Bale, the new Doctor in charge of Benhail's case at the hospital where he always received his treatment, told Emery and Benhail."What do you mean?" Benhail asked. He had recovered and was now seated in the Doctor's office to get the results of the test that was carried out on him.He handed the test results to Benhail. "The problem from your test results is that you have coronary heart disease, not end-stage heart failure. There's been a mix-up somewhere." The Doctor pressed his lips together. "After the test, I asked the nurses for your file and I got to know that you were given a wrong report, I regret to tell you this.""A wrong report?" Benhail queried. "No way, there is no way that was a wrong report. I have been living with this for months, I will die in a few months and now you are saying it is a wrong report?" He wiggled his head. "Is this a miracle or something?""Mr. Gunther, our hospital will take responsibility for this. We will ta
Emery handed the pills to Benhail, she sat close to him afterward. He swallowed the pills and gulped down some water, he heaved a sigh."Do you feel better?" She asked."Yes, but I still can't believe this is happening." He heaved her closer to his side and pressed a kiss on her forehead. "It's been a long month for me and you were all there all through the time. Thank you, Emery." "Benhail," she smiled. "I am glad you are feeling better, I want you to be fine, now you have a chance to live life again and do all the things you've abandoned before now.""Emery," he rubbed her bump that was very visible and big. The pregnancy was six months already. "Our baby, how is she doing?" He asked."She's fine," she placed her hand on his and caressed it against his palm. "I was dead worried about you when you were wheeled to the theater. Mimi was worried too, but we were able to pull through and I am so excited your surgery was successful.""Mimi?" He arched his eyebrows at her."Our baby, I ga
