Anaya “Nicholas, where are we going?” I asked, befuddled and drowsy. He merely instructed me to pack last night, and since I was at his place, all I had were clothes he bought for me. So we slept for a few hours until he woke me up in the early morning. We were on the way to my father’s house as I wanted some items from my room. He had returned from wherever he had been covered in blood just hours ago. He suddenly asked me to pack and I am still confused about it. “Do I need to be upset so that you can call me baby?” he smirked. I flushed. He is right. He has an endearment for me. So why not me? “Allow me to restate the question. Baby, where are we going?” I questioned. Even though I reddened, I kept looking at him. He grinned like an idiot. He loves it when I refer to him as baby. “We’re heading to Viler’s estate first. I have an important meeting with him. You pack up while I speak with him. When the meeting is done, I will come and pick you up,” he stated. “You have a meeting w

Anaya I cannot believe Nicolas proposed to me. Then we had a wild and innovative night doing the nasty. We then came back, and I had to help Ella deliver a baby. And now we are following Adrian to the IT basement to see what he had found. I’ve never experienced both exhilaration and exhaustion on the same day. Nicolas did advise me to take a nap, but I was curious to learn what Adrian had learned. “Welcome to my fortress of solitude,” Adrian grinned. We were in an underground basement near the pool house. After passing through the five security checks, we entered the basement. The major base was located here, while other bases were in secret locations. Adrian was in charge of the IT team. He is an interesting fellow. I never dreamed an eighteen-year-old teenager would be in charge of IT. This is my first encounter with him, and he has already convinced me that he is quite a character. I honestly expected the basement to be creepy, but as I entered, I was astounded to realize that it

Anaya The last three weeks have been the most stressful three weeks of my life. I knew wedding preparation could be both stressful and thrilling, but nothing prepared me for this. During these times, my father and Cia operated like a well-oiled machine. I proposed they launch a joint event management company. Cia provided me with a plethora of bath goods. When I was completely clean, I dried myself and wore a white sexy lingerie. It was the best garment I have ever worn. Lastly, I added the garter belt. I did it before hand so as to avoid dirty comments I am sure Ad will throw my way. I draped the silky pink robe over me with ‘the bride’ emblazoned in large letters on the back. When I was alone in the dressing room, I squealed a bit. I’m about to get married. I have never been both so nervous and so excited. Nicolas and I had our differences in the past, but right now, all I could think about was meeting him at the altar. The butterflies in my stomach fluttered, thinking about how

Anaya I chuckled, “Papa, I can’t believe you chased my husband off the dance floor.” “It was time for the father-daughter dance. And besides, he was getting too close to you,” he muttered. We had a lot of people join us on the dance stage. I laughed once more. Nicolas was pouting while occupying the chair that was allotted to us. On the table, Mr. and Mrs. were inscribed in capital letters. My father and Nicolas are both really cute. It’s amusing when they try to prove to each other how much power they have over me. I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his forehead. “Papa, Nicolas, and I just got married. You were the one who arranged it and now you say he is too close to me,” I said, trying not to laugh. He grunted, dismissing what I said, and we danced on. Our dancing was cut short by the phone ringing. My father stiffened up as soon as he saw the caller. “I have to take this, Passero. I will be back.” I glanced at him in disbelief and said, “Sure.” I stood on the stage, staring a

Anaya My eyelids fluttered open, and I looked about. I winced when I noticed the drapes were open and sunshine filtering through the window in the room. Sunlight illuminated the dark grey and black room. My gaze was drawn to the attractive man who was blissfully asleep beside me. His breathing was shallow and calm. He looked so peaceful. I cannot believe it’s been five days since we were married. I am living with him in his... our house. Our room. It was quite difficult for me to leave my father’s place. I have only been living there for the last few months, I have grown fond of all the people who live there. Even the guards! They helped me sneak my father’s candy from his car. I grin, remembering Nicolas comforting me when I was upset after leaving my father’s house. Even if he hates when Cia and Ad steal my time, he still arranged a sleepover for all of us. So I could unwind with my friends. That’s exactly what happened. However, I still managed to get into our bed in the middle
